The reason for this kind of cognition is because such an ignorant bastard who only relies on his parents is easier to attract attention and be remembered.

But in fact, those rich N generations with real family background, they often work harder than ordinary people, and are more likely to be close to success.

Anyway, in the caretaker's cottage today, the Weasley brothers were clearly agitated by Harry.

So much so that when they left, they seemed to be a little dazed, and almost bumped into Hermione who rushed over suddenly at the door.

But at this moment, the high school girl obviously didn't have time to pay attention to the two of them. She just staggered and adjusted her figure before stumbling to Harry's side.

"Harry, something has happened! You have to take a look at this!!"

She shoved the latest Daily Prophet in front of Harry, and at the same time anxiously pointed to the front page of breaking news.

"This...how is it possible? Pettigrew actually escaped from prison?!"

Seeing the 'Azkaban Unrest' news published in the newspaper, Harry couldn't help frowning and fell into deep thought.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Pettigrew Peter actually escaped from prison?

For Harry, this is absolutely unbelievable... No, this is absolutely impossible!

Before leaving that day, Harry clearly cut off Pettigrew's arm with the Gryffindor sword, and at the same time injected him with the poison of the basilisk.

Calculating the time, Pettigrew wouldn't even be able to survive the trial, and would die violently on the way back to the Ministry of Magic. How could he still make something like a prison escape?

But even if this is news fabricated by the Ministry of Magic, there is no need for them to spread the news so falsely, right?

Pettigrew Peter escaped from the guards of the dementors through the form of Animagus, brutally massacred more than a dozen prisoners in Azkaban, and then walked away?

Not to mention whether he will be thrown into Azkaban, a guy who is chased by nine cats everywhere, how can he have the strength to kill all directions in prison? !

Strange...

Could it be that Pettigrew is really not dead?

"Harry, you need to come with me now...Dumbledore wants to see you."

Filch, who was out on inspection, also rushed back at this time, and he also brought the principal's summons at the same time.

"I see." Harry comforted the worried Hermione with his eyes, got up and walked towards the principal's office.

It just so happened that Dumbledore's relationship with the Ministry of Magic was stronger than his own, so he just went to ask to see what happened.

"Licorice Wand." After walking all the way to the third floor and saying the password in front of the gargoyle, Harry stepped onto the spiral staircase leading to the principal's office.

Dumbledore's office was the same, with portraits of past headmasters whispering on the walls and Fawkes the phoenix resting on its gilded perch.

There are all kinds of silver instruments on the thin-legged tables around them. While they are buzzing and spinning, they will also spray out a faint mist. It looks a bit like a humidifier, and there are a few Divide the taste of aromatherapy.

However, such a comfortable decoration failed to play a calming effect. At least Dumbledore behind the desk was not in a very good mood at the moment.

Of course, with Dumbledore's expressionless expression, Harry couldn't judge his thoughts at the moment by his expression, but Fox's magical voice secretly provided Harry with a cheat sheet.

"Harry, sit down." After seeing Harry, Dumbledore waved his hand and placed a chair in front of Harry.

"Thank you."

After sitting down, neither the old nor the young spoke.

Harry could feel that Dumbledore should be tangled... Just like the last crown incident, he was tangled because the situation was out of control.

Of course, so did Harry himself.

Regarding what he was doing, Harry was also deliberating whether to tell Dumbledore, and... exactly how much he should tell him.

"Harry, are you as surprised as I am about Pettigrew's escape from prison?" After a long silence, Dumbledore finally spoke first.

"It's really surprising." Harry nodded in response, without any waves in his tone.

"Can you tell me the reason for your surprise, Harry?" Dumbledore asked in a deep voice, "Are you surprised by his escape, or are you simply... just surprised that he is alive?"

He stared intently at Harry's face, as if trying to see in this way Harry's involuntary openings.

Dumbledore can only try this way now. Harry has never learned Occlumency, but since the last Coronation incident, his brain has been strangely protected, and he can no longer be used by anyone for Legilimency. up.

Therefore, Dumbledore can only hope that Harry will take the initiative to tell him the matter.

"Indeed, I can't figure out why this guy is still alive." Harry nodded indifferently.

Since Dumbledore would ask this question, it means that he already knew something, so there is no need for Harry to hide from him about the previous poisoning.

"Sure enough..." Dumbledore sighed softly, "My friend in the Forbidden Forest told me that Bane's death was very strange. It seems that the Gryffindor sword should have absorbed the poison of the basilisk. , I just don’t know why Pettigrew can survive.”

"Mr. Principal, if you just tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will go to trouble with your 'friend'?" Harry asked with a cold face, his tone already tinged with sullenness.

Firenze, a mule with both ends of the head, dared to secretly inform Lao Deng? !

"Harry, I believe you won't. No matter what reason we have, it is absolutely wrong to take someone's life at will."

Dumbledore looked at Harry seriously, and Harry read a trace of complaint in the other's eyes.

That's right, Lao Deng must have complained about his previous move to kill Bain and Margery.

And he was right, he really couldn't kill Firenze for leaking the secret now.

To a certain extent, Firenze is equivalent to Old Deng's representative in the Forbidden Forest. No matter how he secretly communicates with Dumbledore, Harry can't just kill him.

"Let's not talk about this for now...I called you here because Fudge wrote to me and told me something else." After sighing lightly, Dumbledore switched to another topic, "When Pettigrew was on trial, he vowed Denies that he has ever seen Lucius Malfoy, and also said that he has been hiding at the Weasleys' house in the form of a mouse, and has never gone out, let alone Gringotts and Knockturn Alley. Pretending to be him... What do you think about these things?"

"This..." Harry couldn't help but shudder when he heard the words, the real show is coming!

His plan went wrong, so that Pettigrew had a chance to speak when he was interrogated, so Dumbledore had already guessed that he was pretending to be Pettigrew!

But... so what if I guessed it!

"Mr. Principal, it doesn't matter what Pettigrew said, what matters is... what the evidence is." Harry met Dumbledore's gaze without avoiding it, "Since Rita Skeeter found out that he and Lu Hughes Malfoy's meeting, then there is collusion between them; and since Pettigrew can pass through Gringotts' Thiefproof Falls, it means... no one pretends to be him at all, everything is done by himself!"

"But Harry... do you really think it's right to act in another person's identity to add to the unwarranted guilt? It's true that the man was an unforgivable criminal...but we shouldn't Punish and make yourself a criminal too!"

Dumbledore looked Harry up and down, and a hint of pain gradually appeared on his face: "Harry... If you were two years ago, you would never have such thoughts. Although you were a little extreme and emotional back then, Although you are not cultured, but you are an absolutely sincere and enthusiastic child, and more importantly... you know how to respect life and always respect the rules!"

"Mr. Principal, if you insist on thinking this way, then I can only say... People change."

Seeing Dumbledore with wrinkled face and earnest expression, Harry didn't feel much empathy, but an uncontrollable anger gradually rose in his heart!

"You said I shouldn't punish those bastards in that way, so...do I deserve to be bullied?!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

So...'Despicableness is the passport of the humble, and nobleness is the epitaph of the noble', this sentence seems to be quite reasonable.

There was such a large group of despicable and shameless guys who were making trouble openly and secretly, but when Harry wanted to use the same method to deal with them, he would be dissuaded and criticized by elders like Dumbledore.

But Harry would like to ask, in this series of incidents, who is the first to trample on life and wantonly endanger the safety of others?

And who are the bastards who are above the rules and take the evidence Harry is looking for as a joke?

In the end, Dumbledore persuaded Harry instead, asking him to continue to respect life and respect the rules as before...

This clearly means that bullying Harry has a close relationship with him, right?

"Harry, please calm down a little bit." In the principal's room, Dumbledore slowed down his tone, trying to calm Harry's emotions, "I know the crimes committed by those people, and I don't want to excuse them, it's just..."

"No...Mr. Principal, you don't know." Before Dumbledore finished speaking, Harry interrupted him indifferently, "You only see the result of many things, but you don't know what the result is. For example explain…"

"You only know that I'm pretending to be Pettigrew and framing Lucius Malfoy, but you don't know that in June this year, when my father went to the Crown Prince's residence to deliver the admission letter, he was met by Lucius Malfoy. Fu's curse. If it hadn't happened to be rescued by Dobby, I don't know what would have happened."

"Similarly, you only know that I killed Bain and Margaret in the Forbidden Forest, but you don't know that I killed Bain by mistake, and what kind of words he has been using before that Insult me! At the end of the battle in the Forbidden Forest, I didn’t kill any centaurs except Baine and Margery who didn’t know what to do, but dozens of acromantulas I brought died. Just ask ...If they weren't standing in front of us, wouldn't the arrows of those centaurs be piercing me and my magical animal companions?!"

"This...Harry, I have to say, what you just mentioned is really surprising." Dumbledore stood up in disbelief, "Lucius Malfoy, how dare he do that?" That kind of thing? And...why didn't you tell me all this?"

"What's the use of telling you?" Harry stood up and asked sharply, "Can you get him sanctioned by the Ministry of Magic, or can you just kill him for me? In the end, you can't just let him continue Just getting away with it?!"

"Harry... Could it be that, not only Pettigrew, but you also have murderous intentions towards Lucius Malfoy?"

Suddenly, Dumbledore's face sank.

He suddenly had a terrible conjecture, which was immediately confirmed.

It seems that Harry didn't simply want to bring Lucius Malfoy to justice, but wanted to kill him directly!

Thinking of this, Dumbledore looked at Harry's face worriedly, as if he wanted to find even the slightest wavering expression.

But what worried him immensely was that Harry's expression remained normal, so indifferent that he didn't even bother to pretend.

"Harry, I don't think this is good." Quickly crossing the desk, Dumbledore grabbed Harry's shoulders tightly, "Killing is not the only way to solve the problem, let alone you are only a child, I really I don't want your hands to be bloody..."

"Mr. Principal, when you were planning your calculations and trying your best to fulfill that prophecy... did you ever think that I was still a child?"

A shard of silence radiated from Harry's shoulder, Dumbledore could only let go of his hand with a sigh when he saw it.

Yes, he is still just a child, but he has taken on too many burdens that should not belong to this age.

If they were in a different position, Dumbledore thought to himself that he would make the same choice, because this was their counterattack after being forced by the dark reality!

But... it's one thing to understand it, it's another thing to accept it or not.

From Dumbledore's point of view, he really didn't want Harry to be contaminated or even indulged in blood and filth prematurely when he was a teenager.

In particular, the person he wanted to kill was Lucius Malfoy, a prominent figure in the pure-blood family, and also the father of a student in the school.

and so…

"Mr. Principal, I remember you once said...the reason why you want me to come to Hogwarts is because you think it is safe and can provide me with protection, right?"

Just as Dumbledore was thinking hard about how to persuade Harry, the latter suddenly spoke.

"Yeah, that's what I thought." Dumbledore sighed softly, with a little self-mockery on his face, "It's just that I didn't expect that the school has not been peaceful these past few years, and Harry has been hurt. Not many times to come forward..."

"In general, it's considered safe," Harry shook his head lightly, "not only is it safe, but it's also comfortable. Hogwarts is indeed a safe fortress, protecting everyone in it, of course It also includes me. It's just... while protecting, it also restricts my pace of external advancement. So much that I can't respond to many things happening in the outside world in the first place."

Harry has many precious memories at Hogwarts, and this school has brought him a lot, so he shouldn't have made such an evaluation.

But as the conflict between him and those enemies outside escalated, his status as a student had gradually become a constraint for Harry.

Every time Harry stepped into the campus, the first thing Harry felt was not joy, but worry.

He worried about his parents far away in London, wondering if they would still be counted and be in danger.

He was worried about Voldemort, Lucius, Pettigrew, and even Beelzebub's skull, etc. He didn't know what kind of conspiracy these enemies who were active outside the school would secretly plan.

It can be said that as long as he is in Hogwarts, Harry will definitely be passive.

Because the castle is originally a fortification that only the passive defense side needs.

It is true that there are many teachers around him who love him, including Dumbledore, but only when danger comes to Hogwarts, they will become Harry's backing and stand up.

However, when Harry clenched his fists and wanted to punch him out, they would not help Harry. Elders like Dumbledore who insisted on their own ideas might even come forward to stop him.

But even if this is the case, Harry is determined to take the initiative!

Because... no matter how good the defense is, it will always be like a bastard, lying passively on the spot.

Only by taking the initiative to attack can you smash the dog heads of those enemies outside with a punch!

However, Dumbledore is the elder Harry needs to respect.

Therefore, in order not to disappoint the other party too much, and most importantly, not to insist on sabotaging his plan, Harry finally backed down a little.

"Mr. Principal, I need to leave school recently, and it may take many days before I come back." Harry promised Dumbledore seriously, "I can promise you that I will trust the Ministry of Magic again during this period, and will not immediately treat that person Shoot. But... this is really the last time!"

"Is it true... that's great! Harry, it's very good of you to think so..."

Hearing Harry say that, Dumbledore was extremely relieved for a moment.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After some communication, Harry and Dumbledore finally reached a superficial consensus.

Dumbledore would not prevent Harry from going out and continue to advance his plan under the guise of Peter Pettigrew; and Harry also promised him that he would not directly kill Lucius Malfoy this time.

It's just that the two of them are also very clear in their hearts that after this dispute, the trust relationship they established in the secret room incident has once again cracked due to their differences in philosophy.

And this incident also made Harry realize that the resources in the school are only useful in the school. Once he leaves the Hogwarts castle, whether Harry wants to deal with Lucius Malfoy, Or if they want to compete with the Ministry of Magic, these people in the school can't count on it at all.
