Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 556 Annoyed Chris
Professor McGonagall pursed his lips and left without looking back. Hearing the sound of tapping high heels fade away, Harry had a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face. He felt that Professor McGonagall seemed very angry, which made him a little worried .

The portrait of Dumbledore opposite him seemed to have seen what Harry meant, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry about it, Harry, Minerva will recover in a while."

"Yes... is it?"

Harry said a little uncertainly.

At this time, the portrait of the witch with silver curly hair next to Dumbledore's portrait shook his head in dissatisfaction.

She has seen the emotional entanglement between Dumbledore and McGonagall from beginning to end. In her opinion, Dumbledore is completely an emotional liar and a scumbag.

If she could, she would turn Dumbledore into a slug and then sprinkle salt on him!

But that's unrealistic after all, she's just a magical portrait after all.

Dumbledore's portrait completely ignored the silver curly-haired witch, he stared at Harry, and said seriously after a while:

"Harry, do you remember that invisibility cloak I used to have on you? It still has a pattern on it. Oh, you probably haven't seen it, after all, it's invisible. But it does have it."

"Of course I do, and that was the first Christmas present I ever received!"

"That's actually your father's relic, and I just returned it to the original owner."

"Is that right?"

It was said that Harry's eyes gradually blurred. Before that, he had always regarded the cloak as an ordinary invisibility cloak, but he didn't expect it to have such an unusual meaning.

Fortunately, I have always taken good care of it, otherwise, if it gets dirty or damaged, it will be too late for him to regret it now!

The portrait of Dumbledore looked at Harry quietly, until he recovered from the memory, and then continued:
"What I want you to do is very simple, and that is to protect that invisibility cloak. No matter who asks you for it, or wants to take it away from you, you must do your best to protect it! Especially Mike, I guess he will find you soon."

Hearing this, Harry's heart tightened, and he asked instinctively:
"But... why?"

"Why?" Dumbledore smiled, "Because the cloak in your hand is the Deathly Hallows. Regarding the Deathly Hallows, you can read "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". Some exaggeration and inaccuracy, but it does make sense on some things.

When all the Hallows come together, the Grim Reaper will come, but he's not here to bestow luck on you, or declare that you've conquered death.

On the contrary, He came to sow death.

At that point, something very bad is going to happen.

So you must protect the invisibility cloak in your hand, just like the third child in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" did. "

"I see, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Harry said firmly.

In fact, he didn't fully understand what Dumbledore said just now, but this did not affect his obedience to Dumbledore's orders.

But before going to carry out Dumbledore's orders, Harry had one more question that remained unanswered.

He raised his head, looked directly into Dumbledore's eyes and asked:
"Principal Dumbledore, did Mike really kill you? Why did he do it?"

The portrait of Dumbledore showed a sure-fire expression, and replied with a smile:

"I was indeed killed by Mike. But unlike the murder described by the outside world, Mike didn't actually want to kill me. I asked him to kill me. In other words, this is actually a suicide."

"What?" said Harry incredulously, "but why did you do that?"

"Because I am living in too much pain, and I have already completed my mission." Dumbledore said, "You may not be able to understand it now, but in the depths of human hearts, there is actually self-destruction Factors. When you've lived as long as I have, you can probably understand why I do what I do."

Harry looked at Dumbledore's portrait in bewilderment.

He felt that Dumbledore's speech after death was becoming more and more incomprehensible.

But at the same time, he was also relieved.

Deep down in his heart, Harry was still unwilling to believe that it was Mike who killed Dumbledore, and now that Dumbledore had cleared Mike of the crime, the knot that had troubled Harry for a long time was finally untied.

The conversation between Harry and Dumbledore was still going on. After so many things, Harry wanted to tell Dumbledore countless things.

As usual, Dumbledore would definitely not be so patient. You must know that the headmaster of Hogwarts is very busy.

But it was different now, Dumbledore was just a magical portrait now, and he had plenty of time to chat with Harry.

The conversation between the two didn't end until the sun went down, but at the same time, Chris was madly smashing things in the office of the Minister of Magic.

Those exquisite portraits, gorgeous chandeliers, quaint furniture...

Everything was shattered under Chris' violent vent!
The newly recruited beautiful assistant was hiding under the desk and shivering. She couldn't figure out why Minister Flint suddenly went berserk, let alone how to calm down Minister Flint again.

Fortunately, the movement outside suddenly stopped at some point, and then Chris shouted in a slightly tired voice:

"Get out of here!"

The female assistant under the desk got up almost instantly, and escaped from the office on high heels at the speed of a [-]-meter race.

And as the door was closed again, Chris stepped back and sat back in his seat.

It had been almost a day since he returned from Dumbledore's funeral, and he had almost been venting his deepest anger throughout the day.

Of course, please don't get me wrong, the reason why he is so angry is not because Mike killed his respected Professor Dumbledore, his relationship with Dumbledore is not that good yet.

What really angered him was Dumbledore's deception.

You must know that Voldemort, that is, Tom has actually given up the idea of ​​challenging death after he was officially resurrected as Chris, but the fact is not that he reconciled with death as he said.

But because he discovered that death is invincible!

But after becoming the Minister of Magic and reading a lot of historical materials, he suddenly discovered that there are such things as Deathly Hallows in this world, and as long as three Deathly Hallows are collected, death can be defeated.

And Dumbledore and Grindelwald were the companions who collected the Deathly Hallows together. In other words, Dumbledore always knew the way to defeat death, but he never told anyone.

Dumbledore, he just quietly watched himself go astray and become a monster like watching a monkey show!

And the most important thing is that Chris did not find his wand in Dumbledore's relics, which was already confirmed to be the elder wand of the Deathly Hallows. Even, Chris even checked Dumbledore's grave, But still nothing.

And Grindelwald, who was imprisoned in the tower, also disappeared!

What does this mean?
This means that Dumbledore is dead!Still guarding against him!
"What an old bastard!"

Chris couldn't help cursing!
Thinking of this, he felt uncontrollable anger.

Fortunately, the previous smashing had helped Chris vent most of his anger, so he quickly calmed down again.

If you think about it carefully, there are not many places where Dumbledore can safely hide the Deathly Hallows. Among them, Hogwarts, an ancient castle with countless secrets, happens to be the most suitable place.

Then the next thing is very simple, now coincides with Dumbledore's death, the headmaster's position is vacant, so as long as he grabs the Hogwarts headmaster's position, then he can unscrupulously search for the Deathly Hallows inside.

It is also very easy for him to obtain the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts.

Although the students of Hogwarts have just had a conflict with the Ministry of Magic, and their resistance is relatively strong, as long as Chris uses his power as the Minister of Magic to forcefully issue a government order, then Hogwarts as a school of magic is completely There is no room for resistance.

Thinking of this, Chris frowned slightly.

At this moment, the door of the office was opened again.

The frightened female assistant carefully avoided the pieces of furniture all over the floor, and placed a large pile of documents in her hands on Chris's desk.

"Minister... Minister, the Director of the Law Enforcement Department wants me to hand over these documents to you for review." The female assistant forced a smile and said with difficulty. "Also, with the news that McTownley killed Dumbledore, those minority groups have recently become active again. The Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters asked me to ask you whether it is necessary to use force to coerce Suppress them?"

"Why don't they come to me in person?"

Hearing this, the female assistant glanced at the messy office, then lowered her head without saying a word.

Chris understood completely, and he laughed twice, as if mocking those timid officials who only dared to hide behind a female assistant and dared not face themselves.

And looking at the documents piled up half a meter high, Chris' breathing that had calmed down began to become short again.

This is another thing that has been making him anxious lately.

That is the job of the Minister of Magic, it is too busy and cumbersome!
Chris originally thought that the job of the Minister of Magic was to stay in the office every day, drinking coffee and basking in the sun.

If you have something to do as a secretary, if you have nothing to do as a secretary.

But when he officially took office, he found that this was not the case.

The so-called Minister of Magic is completely a document review machine, and the documents he has to review every day are enough to bury him!
At the same time, there are some very difficult things in these files, some of which even Chris can't solve.

This made Chris feel very disappointed, and also made him realize that he might not have any leadership talent.

In the past, he always thought that the former Voldemort must have lost his mind to form some Death Eaters in an attempt to rule the Ministry of Magic.

After all, with his talents, it is more likely to pass the right path to become Minister of Magic than this one.

But he understands now.

Perhaps Voldemort understood that he did not have the so-called leadership talent, so he found another way and formed an organization that had no internal rules and was completely ruled and maintained by violence and fear.

Thinking about it carefully, although I have become the Minister of Magic in the open now, I am in charge of the entire Ministry of Magic of the country.

But in fact, why wasn't he trapped in this position by the so-called rights?

The countless rules and endless work are like chains, firmly imprisoning him in this office.

Let him have the legendary power in his body, but there is no place to display it!

The reason why he was able to sustain it before was entirely because after giving up the goal of defeating death, he only had the goal of changing the world.

But now, the hope of defeating death and immortality has reappeared in front of him, so in comparison, the so-called changing the world, the so-called rule of the entire Ministry of Magic of the country does not seem so attractive!
He didn't even have that much hatred for Mike anymore!

After thinking about this, a smile finally appeared on Chris's face.

He looked at the female assistant in front of him who had already turned into a sieve, and said softly:

"Okay, don't be afraid, it's all right now."

"Yes... yes, Minister."

The expression on the female assistant's face did not relax in the slightest.

And Chris obviously didn't care. He stretched out his hand and pushed the documents on the desktop to the ground. He laughed and said to the female assistant:

"Go and tell the Director of the Law Enforcement Department and the Director of the Auror Office, don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future, they can decide for themselves! But ah! If there is a problem with their work, it has a negative impact .Hehe, then they don’t need to continue to live!”

After saying that, Chris waved his hand, signaling the female assistant to leave.

As for whether his tough management style will cause a backlash from the people below, causing no one to want to be in charge, he is not worried at all.

The water flows to the lower places, and the people go to the higher places.

Ambition is something that is imprinted in the human gene sequence, and no one can refuse the feeling of having power.

After all, the world still respects personal strength.

As long as you are strong enough, you can oppress others unscrupulously!
This is the gift given by the gods to the strong!

Such a simple truth, I have not figured it out until now.

Chris shook his head with a smile, deeply aware of his stupidity.

But it's not too late to understand now!
And after getting rid of all the shackles of everything, he was finally able to devote himself wholeheartedly to the collection of the Deathly Hallows.

"Hey, then first, let's start with Hogwarts!"

Looking at the endless clouds outside the window, the smile on Chris's face became brighter.
