Lu Mingfei: Hogwarts repeater

Chapter 125 The US military wants to keep Professor Snape in captivity when they meet him
There was chaos in the Auror office again.

Lu Mingfei's wand fell to the ground, and no one paid attention to it for a while.

Dumbledore strode forward, drew out his wand, and calmly paused in the direction of Lu Mingfei's wand.

This pause was so short that to others it was just a process of "drawing out the wand and pointing the wand at Scrimgeour", with nothing special about it.

If Lu Mingfei hadn't heard Dumbledore's words earlier and paid special attention to Dumbledore's movements, it would have been difficult to detect this subtle movement.

"Healed as before." Dumbledore pointed his wand at Scrimgeour.

Fortunately, it was not Lu Mingfei who caused this recovery, otherwise the director of the Auror Office would have to be replaced - Minister Fudge would probably be happy to see this scene.

"Thank you, Dumbledore." Scrimgeour moved his arms and stood up, looking at Lu Mingfei with strange eyes, and then his eyes fell on the wand on the ground.

"My wand is a little special. I forgot to tell you, Mr. Scrimgeour." Lu Mingfei said sincerely, "There are many magic spells on it. It is very light when it is in my hand, but when it is in other people's hands, it is very light." It will be heavy."

"I don't blame you, Mr. Lu Mingfei, it's my negligence. Staying in the office for a long time made me lose the vigilance that an Auror should have."

"It's not heavy, only forty-three pounds." Lu Mingfei scratched his head, trying to show his simple smile.

A soft light and shadow appeared, which represented the healing spell, not the destruction ray originally released by Lu Mingfei.

The flashback spell can play the magic released by the wand in the form of images in reverse order.

But as the "Yingardium Leviosa" spell was uttered, Lu Mingfei's wand showed no intention of floating.

There is no way that the Levitation Charm would not be able to support an object of forty-three pounds.

But obviously, the word simplicity has no convincing power in front of a wand weighing forty-three pounds.

"It is conceivable that the only person who caused the destruction of Knockturn Alley was a powerful and evil dark wizard.

"Wingardim Leviosa!" Scrimgeour read it again with a look of confusion.

"Can I ask how much this wand would weigh in someone else's hands? To put it bluntly, I feel like I just got hit with one hand by a Bludger from a batter's full swing."

Scrimgeour emphasized the words "lethality" specifically.

Scrimgeour's eyes twitched. Who would use such a heavy wand? Is this meant to cast a spell or to throw it out to give the enemy a heavy blow?
"Well, it seems that there is one more thing that Aurors need to be wary of in the future, special wands..." Scrimgeour muttered in a low voice, trying to put a levitating spell on Lu Mingfei's wand.

Scrimgeour took a deep breath and asked carefully.

Of course, there is no such thing as a failure of the Auror Director to cast this elementary spell that a young wizard can master.

"Ahem! As I said before, my wand is a little special..."

"Okay, Mr. Lu Mingfei, we have determined that the curse you used has no lethality. I think that although the flash of light is very effective, it is not considered a curse."

Then there was a small silver-white flash, which was the lighting spell released by Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei picked up the wand and handed it to Scrimgeour, "Can you just test it like this? Mr. Scrimgeour."

"Of course..." Scrimgeour couldn't wait to end this embarrassing session.

He pointed at Lu Mingfei's wand and shouted: "Flashback Curse!"

"Fade without a trace!" Scrimgeour shouted again, and Lu Mingfei's wand stopped emitting light and shadow.

Lu Mingfei didn't know how Dumbledore did it, but... that was Dumbledore! Everything seems reasonable.

Although it is not yet certain whether he is really the return of the mysterious man, such a powerful dark wizard can easily cause greater damage. It seems that it is time for us to strengthen our vigilance. "

Scrimgeour said, looking at Fudge aside.

"...Of course, Rufus, that's your job."

Fudge looked very unhappy, and seemed to want to prevent this from happening, but was unable to do so. His greatest supporter, Dumbledore, had to explain something more serious to him than Scrimgeour.

As long as the mysterious man doesn't really return, even if Scrimgeour's power increases as a result of the heightened security operations, it won't be so great as to shake Fudge's position as Minister of Magic.

"But remember, you are just a dark wizard... I don't want your vigilance actions to cause complaints to the Ministry of Magic, nor do I want your actions to cause any panic!"

"Don't worry, I'm very experienced in this area." Scrimgeour grinned, "Thank you for your support, Minister."

Fudge snorted coldly and turned to leave. He thought of something and turned to Dumbledore: "Albus, I'm leaving first. There are still many things to do. You know, there are more important things than these..."

"Of course, Connelly, I'm also busy preparing for some admissions work." Dumbledore nodded slightly.

Dumbledore was no longer obsessed with Voldemort's return. This incident finally made Connelly's not-so-good-looking complexion recover, and it was the only good news he got during this trip.

Challenging Dumbledore's decision would put a severe strain on the heart.

……

In this way, the whole matter finally came to an end for the time being.

Lu Mingfei gained a one-day trip to the Ministry of Magic and the achievement of directly or indirectly inflicting heavy losses on the Minister of Magic and the Director of Aurors; Scrimgeour gained the desired increase in power; Fudge temporarily restored what Dumbledore called "the return of the mysterious man" Get over it all.

Everyone has a bright future!
"Professor Dumbledore, this is for you."

As soon as he left the Ministry of Magic, Lu Mingfei couldn't wait to take out the magic stone wrapped in oil paper from his pocket and handed it to Dumbledore.

Putting this thing on Lu Mingfei felt like a hot potato, and he wanted to throw it out quickly.

This is the magic stone, the supreme product of alchemy. It can simultaneously satisfy the two desires that people have pursued since ancient times: turning stone into gold and immortality. It even saved my life when I was pierced by Kungunir, the spear of destiny. !
If Voldemort really gets it, it might be enough to restore him to his full strength.

Therefore, it is naturally the safest place to place it with Professor Dumbledore.

"I really need to use this to make some arrangements." Dumbledore took the Sorcerer's Stone and said.

"Now that the Philosopher's Stone has been taken out of Gringotts...Although Voldemort should not know this yet, he will definitely be able to guess it after he attacks Gringotts," Lu Mingfei said. "Professor Dumbledore, where are you going to put the Sorcerer's Stone? It won't be on you, then I don't think Voldemort will take the bait even if he loses his mind!"

"Of course not, I'm going to put it in a location in Hogwarts Castle." Professor Dumbledore said, putting the Sorcerer's Stone in his pocket.

He turned his head and looked at Harry, who had been listening quietly: "Harry, long time no see, you have grown so big."

"Professor Dumbledore."

Harry imitated Lu Mingfei's call with some restraint, "What you just said was 'Long time no see'? Have we met before? I don't seem to remember, but I do feel that you look familiar..."

"Oh, if you can remember, that means we don't have to worry about your academic performance after school starts." Professor Dumbledore winked playfully.

"When I sent you there, you were still a baby, only one year old."

"Wait, it's you..." Harry's eyes widened in surprise.

"I'm sorry for what happened to you with the Dursleys, Harry." Dumbledore stared at Harry with his blue eyes, "I always make a lot of mistakes."

"Oh...it's okay, I mean, at least everything is fine now, isn't it?" Harry was at a loss for a moment.

When he saw Dumbledore's long list of positions and names on the Hogwarts admission letter, it only made Harry confused. However, given Lu Mingfei's attitude towards Dumbledore, Harry understood that Dumbledore was Just how big of a figure Lido is.

After all, when facing the wizard "Prime Minister" and the Minister of Magic, Harry did not sense any "serious treatment" from Lu Mingfei...

"Speaking of this, Professor Dumbledore, I have something to ask you, about Harry." Lu Mingfei interrupted, remembering what Harry mentioned when he and Harry went to the Gringotts underground vault. thing.

"When you fostered Harry with the Dursleys, did you take any measures regarding the foster care fees?"

Finally, Lu Mingfei added another sentence.

"This determines my next attitude and actions towards them."

"Of course, child, foster care fee..." Dumbledore lowered his eyes slightly.

"But the Dursleys at that time showed extreme resistance to this. All the Muggle currency I entrusted Gringotts to send was rejected. They thought it carried the evil magic of wizards...or something similar. ”

"But they still adopted Harry, even though they knew that Harry was inseparable from the wizard." Lu Mingfei scratched his head.

"However, their attitude and methods towards Harry later...with all due respect, Professor Dumbledore, as long as I hand over the evidence to a human rights organization, I'm afraid the Dursleys will have to spend a few years in jail."

"Child, everyone has two sides. The Dursleys hate and fear everything related to wizards, but human emotions are complex, as well as family, friendship and other things."

Dumbledore said seriously.

"The power of these emotions will sometimes prompt people to do things that they could not do before, or would not even try."

"It's like you can use your ultimate move when your anger bar is full." Lu Mingfei nodded to express his understanding.

"Sounds like the same thing." Professor Dumbledore smiled slightly. He was used to Lu Mingfei saying unintelligible words from time to time.

"So, after that, Professor Dumbledore, didn't you try other methods to pay foster care fees to the Dursleys?" Lu Mingfei asked with a twinkling look.

Lu Mingfei didn't believe that Professor Dumbledore would give up because of this. This was Dumbledore. Is there anything he couldn't do?

Since it was mentioned, it means that Professor Dumbledore must have found other solutions later!

Lu Mingfei could think of several options instantly, such as letting the Dursleys win the lottery, or directly using a confusion spell to influence their minds and then directly stuffing money into their savings...

This method is the simplest and fastest, but it violates a lot of Ministry of Magic laws and regulations.

But it didn't matter. Lu Mingfei had no respect for the Ministry of Magic to begin with. Now after meeting the first and second leaders of the Ministry of Magic, his level of respect has dropped to negative numbers.

With such a Ministry of Magic, it’s no wonder that the wizarding world can still allow Voldemort to gain momentum even with Dumbledore. Now, ten years after Voldemort’s fall, it has not developed much!
Now, Lu Mingfei's only hope is that these officials from the Ministry of Magic will not cause trouble, otherwise he will have to think about how to implement the "wearing yellow robe for Professor Dumbledore" plan that he briefly conceived before.

Professor Dumbledore didn't seem to notice that Lu Mingfei's mind had already jumped to how to help him become the Minister of Magic in a short period of time, and he only answered Lu Mingfei's questions.

He nodded slightly and said.

"After the currency sent directly to the Dursleys' home was refused, I did resort to other methods. For example, Vernon Dursley received a sufficient share of the order while he was working at the drilling rig company."

"This makes sense." Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

What Lu Mingfei was most worried about was that the Dursleys confiscated the child support and adopted Harry.

Because in that case, although the Dursleys were indeed not good to Harry and could even be called abusive, if they seriously considered it, they themselves were taking a huge risk.

Lu Mingfei estimated that Professor Dumbledore's letter to the Dursleys should have written about the protection spell, but given the extent of the Dursleys' resistance to wizards, they definitely didn't believe it.

The whole thing becomes extremely complicated.

Now, it is easier to deal with the fact that nothing has been done after receiving the money - even if the Dursleys do not know that they have received the money, the "fact" of receiving the money has already been established!
"Don't worry, I have a way for you to enjoy normal treatment when you return to the Dursleys. They will no longer dare to bully you, make you do things or deny you food."

Lu Mingfei looked at Harry and rubbed his head again out of habit. Now Harry is only as high as Lu Mingfei's waist, which is just right for his hands. His hair feels pretty good and not greasy at all.

If it were Professor Snape, Lu Mingfei would definitely have no desire to touch him. According to him, that thing is so bad that "the US military wants to keep it in captivity for oil extraction"!

Of course, these are all complaints behind his back. Lu Mingfei would not dare to say it in front of Professor Snape, or actually touch Professor Snape's head... That would definitely result in being cut into countless pieces by [Shen Feng Wu Ying] Duan!
"Don't use extreme measures, Lu Mingfei, Harry needs to go back every year." Professor Dumbledore warned.

"That's for sure, Professor Dumbledore, just don't worry while I do the work."

Lu Mingfei agreed with a smile.

"With the handle in hand, everything can be put on the table and we can talk openly and honestly!"

PS: Today's rational discussion post - Based on Lu Mingfei's influence, what will be Harry's reaction when he sees Professor Snape? How would Snape treat Harry if he did extremely well in Potions?
