254. The bad witch in fairy tales

Dumbledore listened to Lynn's analysis and thought for a while, he spoke.

"The first question may be only a reasonable explanation. The reason why the master behind the scenes wanted to customize the first target of the Basilkin is because he found that you were chasing him. If this matter is confirmed, then the second and third questions will be obvious. The person who knows that you are chasing him must have lived in Hogwarts for a long time, and living in Hogwarts and having the greatest possibility of using Phantom Moving is the house elf."

Lynn naturally thought of this possibility. He did not forget that in the first grade, Kira took advantage of the ability to use Phantom Movement in Hogwarts and carried out two revenge actions for him in a row. Even when Auror came, he did not catch his feet, because no one could have thought that the house-raising elf would do something to hurt the wizard.

"But it is also not ruled out that a possible professor is. As you said, since he can control Shubert, he will definitely be able to control others, and it may not be possible to control a house elf."

"So this matter also needs to be investigated carefully. Tomorrow I will arrange for Felch to go to the kitchen to ask if there are any house elves in the castle tonight without a break. Do you want to go with him too?" Dumbledore asked.

Lynn was a little moved, but he finally shook his head: "Forget it, I have two big classes for the fifth and sixth grades tomorrow, and there is no time to pass."

After drinking the last sip of black tea in the teacup, he did not ask the teapot to refill himself, and he asked, "What arrangements will you make for Hogwarts after that?"

"The matters in the secret room cannot be revealed to the students for the time being, but we must also ensure that the children cannot be harmed." Dumbledore said the fundamental principle, "I will inform Minerva and the others to be prepared, and they will also arrange people to watch in the castle at night, and they cannot turn a blind eye to night tours."

Lynn spread his hands and revealed Dumbledore's current dilemma: "There are too few professors, and most professors have classes during the day, so they can't stay all night. Besides, there is no reason to be a thief for a thousand days."

"There is no way. We don't know what kind of malicious intentions he has towards Hogwarts, and there is no better way except to prevent it."

"Hogwarts has something to do with the entrance to the underground treasure land of Hogsmeade, and you don't know it either? Don't you have completely control over this castle?"

Dumbledore shook his head: "So, I said you're not at ease with me. Lynn, I can completely control the castle, but it doesn't mean I know every place in the castle. Besides, Hogwarts is not just a castle. The surrounding black lake, the stadium, including the Forbidden Forest, are part of Hogwarts."

Lynn was stunned when he heard him say this.

Only then did he realize that he had actually entered a misunderstanding.

Dumbledore is right. Hogwarts is a school. This school is not only composed of castles, it has other places, but it is not as conspicuous as the castle.

But it is precisely because it is not conspicuous enough that it is the best place to hide things.

"It is definitely not possible to simply sit and wait for death. We still need to continue looking for the exit of the treasure land at Hogwarts."

"If you have time, try to investigate this matter as much as possible, hoping to make good discoveries."

Lynn looked at him with a strange look: "What about you, professor?"

Dumbledore blinked, his appearance looked a little tired.

"Although I like my identity as an educator the most, other identities also take up most of my time. The relationship between the Ministry of Magic of various countries needs to be adjusted and communicated by the International Federation of Wizards. The Knights of Merlin have to screen wizards who have made great contributions to the magic world and vote for them to award medals. My friend Nick Lemay also hopes that he can spend more time with him to discuss alchemy before he dies. Things in Hogwarts are also important, but before the Basilica is completely outbreak, I still need to complete other tasks."

"Hogwarts is really short of people now. If the draft you showed me last semester to go smoothly, there would probably be no such problem." He looked up and asked, "Is this happening in the school now that it will affect your original plan?"

Lynn smiled bitterly and said, "The impact is great, but this is not an important matter. The key is that we still need to eliminate the potential dangers of Hogwarts."

"We cannot be anxious about this kind of thing. We have to wait for the enemy to reveal their flaws first. Okay, it's already midnight now. You have to go to class tomorrow, so go to bed early." Dumbledore stood up and signaled that Lynn could leave.

Lynn had no reason to continue to stay. He said everything he should have said. Dumbledore was right. They were now in the dark and clear of the enemy, so they could only wait patiently until the enemy revealed their flaws.

Lynn left the principal's office, leaving only Dumbledore alone here again.

After Lynn left, Dumbledore did not change into his pajamas and prepared to rest. He returned to the chair and gently lit the table with his fingers on his face for a long time.

After a long time, he waved to Fox, who was sleeping on the branches, and the phoenix flapped its wings and flew to his shoulders.

“Go to the Owl Post Office in Hogsmeade.”

The fiery red light lit up, and Fox took Dumbledore away from the principal's room, while their figures reappeared in another place.

This is a small wooden house with a clean and tidy layout, but it is filled with an indelible smell of owl shit.

The lights in the wooden house are bright, and even at this time, the owner of the house has no intention of falling asleep.

There were two tea cups on the small wooden table in the middle of the room, and the curling white steam rose from the mouth of the cup. It was obvious that the two cups of hot tea had just been poured out.

The owner seemed to have known Dumbledore's arrival and prepared hot tea in advance.

Daniel's mother-in-law squinted her eyes, covered with a thin blanket, and lay peacefully on the rocking chair.

"It's really a rare guest. Principal Dumbledore, who hasn't come here to visit his old classmates for so long, and he doesn't even bring a gift."

Dumbledore sat down at one end of the wooden table and smiled helplessly.

"I just finished chatting with a student and didn't have time to prepare a gift for you."

Daniel's grandma laughed out loud, her laughter was not at all kind, and she gave people a more like a bad witch in a fairy tale.
