The draw starts from Azkaban

Chapter 274 Notice
During the day, Dumbledore talked about Scrimgeour.

In the evening, Scrimgeour went to Dumbledore's headmaster's office to discuss some matters with him.

"You're welcome, Rufus."

Dumbledore stood up to welcome Scrimgeour. Hogwarts was notified of his arrival by an owl in the afternoon, and he took the public road.

Scrimgeour came in from the fireplace, followed by Mad-Eye Moody.

"Please forgive me," Scrimgeour stretched out his hand and shook Dumbledore, "Muggle methods, when I ordered the capture of the goblins involved, I found that they always like to do this with Muggles, shaking hands, signaling I have no weapons in my hands.

Maybe it's a rock, anyway, as you can see, my wand is in the sleeve.

Please forgive me for bringing one more person, Headmaster Dumbledore.

I've been a little insecure recently, and I'm even thinking, should I stay at Hogwarts, otherwise, I'm also afraid that one day I will be killed by Voldemort, with his favorite Dark Lord mark still hanging on my head.

Hogwarts is always safe, right?

After all, you are the one Voldemort fears most. "

Very normal words, but Scrimgeour said it a little aggressively.

He gave Dumbledore no time to speak.

Dumbledore smiled.

Take it lightly.

"Please sit down, Rufus."

He glanced at Mad-Eye Moody and didn't ask him to sit down. As an old friend, he knew that Mad-Eye Moody wouldn't sit down. He always held his wand in his hand and looked nervous.

"I'm here to find you, I think you already know, Dumbledore."

Scrimgeour said in a businesslike manner: "So can you preside over the trial meeting for us and send that group of moths to Azkaban?"

Dumbledore stared at him as if trying to see through Scrimgeour.

Scrimgeour frowned.

Dumbledore did not cast Legilimency on Scrimgeour.

He has measure.

Using Legilimency on a vigilant Auror is bad manners and extremely dangerous.

considered provocative.

Even if he is the one who casts Soul Reaper.

The scene is also difficult to clean up.

It can be said that it was a disaster.

It will lead to fierce fights, although there are three people here, there are two arrangements and combinations on the surface, and one arrangement and combination in the dark.

On the surface, two wizards are the Ministry of Magic, and one wizard is the old professor.

But the three people here can also be regarded as, one wizard is an Auror, and the other two are members of the Order of the Phoenix.

One is also the creator of the Order of the Phoenix.

In the background, there are two lunatics and a normal wise old man.

A fugitive from Azkaban and two wizards who can capture him.

At the level of the Order of the Phoenix, although theoretically speaking, Mad-Eye Moody is one of his own, but gentlemen are different from each other.

Dumbledore founded the Order of the Phoenix to fight Voldemort.

The members of the Order of the Phoenix all admire and respect Dumbledore, but they are not Dumbledore's personal army.

It's like Voldemort came to the school for the second time, yes, he came twice, the first time, because of his use of alchemy, his whole body began to have waxy skin and scarlet eyes.

At that time, the principal was Armando.

Later, the principal became Dumbledore. At that time, he still wanted to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, but he refused again.

At that time, Dumbledore meant that he could come by himself without bringing his followers.

Voldemort lied, he said these people were his friends.

Now, many people have said that the Order of the Phoenix is ​​his follower.

But in fact, those people were his friends.

Everything is exactly the opposite.

Dumbledore also didn't like to involve them because of his personal affairs.

Not to mention, if he did that, it would be very nerve-wracking for Mad-Eye Moody.

Mad-Eye Moody wouldn't like having someone peering into his mind right in front of his face, either.

Under such circumstances, Dumbledore gave up his insanity, and started asking Scrimgeour about it, which was not difficult for the old bee.

A lot of news can leak out without knowing it.

He could sense that Scrimgeour had a problem with him.

why?

Soon, he got the answer from a passage.

"Are you just curled up in your safe fortress? If you do it, you can save more people."

Scrimgeour said impatiently.

That's why Scrimgeour didn't like him?

Because he doesn't want to be the first to do it?
"No," Dumbledore raised the cup beside him and said, "That's not the case, Rufus. There are things in this world that are more important and terrifying than death. Death is not the point, Rufus."

"Yeah, death is not the point."

Scrimgeour looked at Dumbledore mockingly and said, "For example, the Longbottom couple in St. Mungo's Hospital, you can tell them that death is not the point, but life is torture, right?

Tortured by Death Eaters, he forgot all his memories and stayed in St. Mungo for 13 years. Principal Dumbledore, 13 years, 13 years of life would be worse than death. "

Scrimgeour stood up with a sneer, and straightened his clothes.

"I don't have anything to say to you, Professor Dumbledore, I'm going back, I'm not as leisurely as you, you can drink here.

Maybe some chocolate?
I still want to go back and study with that group of old antiques, how to unite as one to deal with Voldemort.

You keep drinking here, Dumbledore. "

His words silenced Dumbledore.

He felt a kind of contempt for himself emanating from Scrimgeour.

Although he doesn't care about other people's feelings towards him.

Dumbledore raised his eyes, glanced at Scrimgeour, and said, "When will the trial start?"

Scrimgeour walked towards the fireplace and said without looking back, "When? On Christmas Day, my busy principal, I think, we will all have a lively Christmas in the Ministry of Magic, which will be unforgettable."

After he finished speaking, he clearly stated his whereabouts.

Mad-Eye Moody looked like a wooden man when they were talking, until his immediate boss left, and Mad-Eye Moody said: "Well, it finally looks a little bit better, doesn't it? There is such a tough guy in the Ministry of Magic It's really not easy for people."

"Yes, it is indeed not easy."

Dumbledore looked at Scrimgeour who was leaving, and called loudly, "Fox."

The phoenix flew onto the table from one side.

"Sorry, Fox, I might need one more of your tail feathers, I hope you don't mind."

Fawkes gave Dumbledore a hard look, very defensive. It seemed that if Dumbledore did something, it would peck Dumbledore.

Dumbledore smiled and stretched out his hand to caress, wanting to make a fake move, but Fox pecked on his hand without hesitation.

"Ouch!"

Dumbledore yelled, sealing the wound with the Elder Wand.

Even though Fox was joking, the phoenix that could peck the blind basilisk, even if it was a joke, was extremely powerful.

Dumbledore hands the phoenix feather to Mad-Eye Moody.

"Protect Rufus," Dumbledore said, "If you meet Voldemort, touch this feather with your wand. At that time, I will appear by your side as soon as possible."
