Although he was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Elwyn had never seen Eifeas Dorjee in person at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.
He was too old. As Dumbledore's best friend and schoolmate, his physical strength and energy were far inferior to Dumbledore's.
At his age, Dorjee could not even stand properly, so naturally, he could not participate in the activities of the Order of the Phoenix. However, the obituary article about Dumbledore that he had published in the newspaper had left a deep impression. His understanding and loyalty towards Dumbledore was far above that of the others.
Dorjee had previously submitted articles to the "Hogwarts Magic Newspaper" in support of Dumbledore.
Because he had been a senior official of the Ministry of Magic before his retirement and had served as a special consultant for Weisengamo for a long time, Dorjee's articles were very influential.
There were many things that it was inconvenient for Dumbledore to appear in person, so the Order of the Phoenix needed a well-respected wizard like Eifeas Dorjee to express his opinion and express some opinions that supported Dumbledore or were beneficial to the Order of the Phoenix. In a sense, his role was no less than that of the members who rushed to the frontline to fight against the Death Eaters.
The last time Dorjee was known to the public was because of the obituary article he wrote about Dumbledore.
In the obituary article, Elwyn had seen Dorjee's photo, so Harry must have recognized him.
"Let's go and say hello, Elaine, come with us," Elwyn said, "Don't act alone, we'd better look for Ron again …"
"You two seem very worried," Elaine squinted at Elwyn and Hermione, "Will the Death Eaters break in?"
"Believe me, this is very likely."
"If they have taken over the Ministry of Magic, it will only take a few minutes for the Ministry of Magic to break the defense of the Burrow. If that's the case, we have to prepare to run."
"You don't think the Ministry of Magic will collapse today, do you?" Elaine asked in surprise.
"Do you think the Lord Voldemort will tolerate us holding a wedding under his nose and do nothing?" Elwyn asked. "If that's the case, then he's not the Lord Voldemort. Scrimgeour wanted to attack the headquarters of the Death Eaters, but he didn't expect the Lord Voldemort to also want to attack the Ministry of Magic. He might have already taken action, which is much simpler for him than Scrimgeour attacking the Malfoy Manor. Right, Elaine, I told you to bring your wand with you last night, did you? "
"Yes, I just used it to chase away that annoying guy who called himself an international football star. He'll probably have a nosebleed."
"Not bad, but I will allow you to use more powerful magic against the Death Eaters," Ivan said.
He prayed for a second for Krum. Next time, he had to find a good partner before he flirted with a pretty girl.
But then again, Elwyn knew that Elaine had already restrained herself. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as a nosebleed.
In a sense, the magic of vampires was almost always black magic, and it was frighteningly destructive.
"I hope my worries are unnecessary, and maybe Scrimgeour is stronger than I thought," Elwyn continued.
But no matter how much Scrimgeour struggled, the collapse of the Ministry of Magic was only a matter of time.
If it wasn't today, it would be tomorrow. Elwyn and the rest had to be prepared to leave the Burrow at any time.
In the corner of the tent, Harry seemed to be discussing Dumbledore's past with Dorjee.
"Your thoughts are correct, my dear child," Dorjee said, his voice was very sharp and he was panting. "I've known Dumbledore for the longest time. If you don't count Aberforth, for some reason, people never seem to count Aberforth. In fact, very few people …"
He stopped and panted heavily. His murky eyes stared at the approaching Elwyn, Hermione and Elaine warily.
"Don't worry, this is Elwyn. He's wearing makeup like me. You know Elwyn Mason, right?" Harry said.
"Of course, of course!" Dorjee was both nervous and happy. "I talked to Elwyn earlier. Of course you're here. Arthur told me everything. I'm so old, I should've thought of it. Sit down, kids. I just told my dear Harry about how I met Dumbledore. It was a long time ago. "
"You were classmates back then?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Just like you guys. Arbus and I entered Hogwarts in the same year and lived in the same bedroom. For a period of time, we were inseparable," Dorjee said sadly. Dorjee said sadly, his small eyes suddenly filled with tears. "This is a very long memory. Dumbledore showed amazing talent when he was still a student. Just like I mentioned in the obituary, he was brimming with talent. Before he even graduated, he attracted the attention of many Master Magicians. His research on some magic was even more profound than the professors. "
"Since you mentioned that obituary, Mr. Dorjee, I don't know if you've seen it …" Harry asked.
"Oh, my dear child, just call me Eifeas. You can call me that."
"Eifeas, I don't know if you've seen the interview about Dumbledore that Rita Skeeter published in the Daily Prophet?"
Dorjee's face instantly turned red with anger. He said angrily, "I've seen it, Harry. I've seen it. That woman, it would be more appropriate to call her Bald Eagle. She actually pestered me to talk to her. I'm ashamed to say that I was very rude at the time. I called her a nosy, annoying woman. You guys probably saw the result. She slandered me and said that I was insane. Children, don't believe what she said. Don't believe a single word. It's all nonsense. "
"But Rita Skeeter hinted in that interview that Professor Dumbledore had come into contact with Dark Magic when he was young."
"No, that's fake. Don't believe a single word, Harry! Don't let anything taint the Albus Dumbledore in your memory! "
Dorjee's face showed a pained expression. Because his tone was too hurried, he could only repeat the phrase "don't believe a single word".
For a moment, the atmosphere was silent.
Harry stared at Dorjee's sincere and pained face. He did not feel comforted. Instead, he felt disappointed.
Did Dorjee really think that things were so simple? That Harry just had to choose not to believe it?
Did Dorjee really not understand how he felt? What he really cared about was not whether Dumbledore had studied Dark Magic or not. Instead, he cared about the meaning behind this matter.
It was not surprising that Dumbledore had dabbled in Dark Magic.
Elwyn already knew that the principal was too noble and never used those kinds of Dark Magic. However, this did not mean that he did not understand it. For example, in this world, besides the despicable Hyrule and Lord Voldemort, Dumbledore probably had the deepest understanding of this extremely evil Dark Magic.
