Chapter 99 Dumbledore's Letters and Notes

In fact, it was not until Gretel received Dumbledore's letter that his heart, which seemed to be hanging in the air, finally settled down completely.

Before that, he had been worried about one thing.

Would Dumbledore temporarily put aside the entanglement with Voldemort and cooperate with him to deal with him, who really intended to subvert the tradition of the magic world.

Perhaps for some people, such as Cornelius Fudge, the dawn that Gretel built was just a scabies in his eyes.

The only thing he was worried about was that Dumbledore would take away his position as Minister of Magic by taking advantage of Voldemort's return.

He was not really stupid, he was just blinded by power.

Gretel received the news from the Ministry of Magic and shook his head.

Cornelius Fudge seemed too smart. Obviously, so many people saw the live broadcast of Voldemort's return through Gretel's projection.

But Cornelius Fudge thought that all this was Voldemort's conspiracy, and even publicly said that Voldemort had been destroyed and would never be resurrected.

Gretel knew why he had such an attitude.

Because from the beginning, he was able to take the position because Dumbledore gave way.

At that time, many people felt that Dumbledore was the most suitable candidate for the British Minister of Magic.

It was because Dumbledore refused to take the position that Cornelius Fudge took the position.

Even when he took office, he was able to gain a foothold in the position of Minister of Magic because of Dumbledore's support throughout the initial period.

So many people privately said that he was Dumbledore's puppet.

After he gradually secured his position, and Dumbledore gradually hid behind the scenes and was really obsessed with teaching at Hogwarts, his heart gradually settled down.

After so many years, he had forgotten Dumbledore's help. The only thing he remembered was that Dumbledore almost became the Minister of Magic before him.

The older he got, the more wary he became of Dumbledore.

After Gretel led most of the people of Dawn away from Hogwarts, Cornelius Fudge had a complete picture of the whole thing in his mind.

He felt that it was the White Lord Dumbledore, who, after so many years of dormancy, finally refused to be an ordinary magic principal.

That's why he directed and acted in a drama of the resurrection of the Dark Lord.

Gretel, and even Dawn, were all Dumbledore's work.

After all, in his opinion, how could there be a student who would break up with the greatest principal, Dumbledore, who was loved by almost everyone.

Even Voldemort only emerged in the magic world many years after graduation.

He didn't believe that there would be a fourth-year student in the world who would do such a big thing that would shake the foundation of the Ministry of Magic.

You know, the students admitted to Hogwarts every year are basically eleven years old. After four years of study, even if they are mature, they are only fifteen years old now in 1995.

What was he doing at the age of fifteen? He was still worried about his fifth-year O.W.Ls exams at school.

But what about Gretel? He hadn't even passed the Ordinary Wizarding Level Exam.

If Newt Scamander, who was expelled in the fifth year, was a dropout, Gretel was just like Rubeus Hagrid, an expelled student who had never even taken the Ordinary Wizarding Level Exam.

Let me ask you, would a student who hadn't even finished the course decide to drop out of school?

This was irresponsible for his own life. Cornelius Fudge didn't believe that a rising star who had made his fortune from scratch would make such an irrational decision.

So, all of this, whether it was Voldemort's "resurrection" or Gretel dropping out of school with his companions.

In Cornelius Fudge's mind, everything became Dumbledore's conspiracy, a conspiracy against him.

He believed that Gretel and so many other students were forced to drop out because of Dumbledore's power.

But it was fine, he just took advantage of the situation and instructed Rita Skeeter to discredit Dumbledore.

Anyway, unless he saw with his own eyes that Voldemort had been "resurrected" and stood in front of him.

Otherwise, he, the greatest Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, would never help Dumbledore to call on everyone to stand up and resist Voldemort's dark rule.

On the contrary, he had to tear off Dumbledore's fig leaf and let everyone see Dumbledore's darkest side.

Gretel was lamenting that Cornelius Fudge was so obsessed with lust that he seemed to have lost his mind.

Voldemort, who was hiding after his resurrection, praised Cornelius Fudge's performance.

He even told his servant that if Cornelius Fudge could bow down to him, he would be willing to let Fudge become one of the core Death Eaters.

The werewolf Fenrir did not even get the status of an ordinary Death Eater until his death.

Cornelius Fudge just followed some articles and got the status he dreamed of, and even became the core.

If the werewolf Fenrir was still alive, he would definitely find a chance to give Cornelius Fudge a ruthless bite out of jealousy.

I don't know if Minister Fudge would be accepted by his master if he became a werewolf Fudge.

Of course, all this is nonsense, not to mention that the werewolf Fenrir cannot be resurrected.

Speaking of Fudge alone, if he really saw the resurrected Voldemort, he would definitely fight the Death Eaters to the death bravely.

...

To be honest, Voldemort's feelings for Dumbledore have always been more fear than love.

From the moment he saw Dumbledore in the orphanage, he was afraid of this professor who could see through his heart at a glance.

This fear reached its peak after the wardrobe spontaneously combusted in front of him.

It has never dissipated until now.

In the whole Hogwarts, everyone was confused by him and praised him for becoming the best student in the history of Hogwarts.

Only Dumbledore always kept his blue eyes like sapphires open, staring at his every move in the dark, in the sun, in any place that might or might not appear.

When did this fear turn into resentment?

Was it during the seven years of uninterrupted surveillance?

Or when he applied to become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts after graduation and was rejected.

Voldemort himself couldn't tell, he only knew that in this world, as long as Dumbledore was alive for even one day, his heart would never feel safe.

Even after he regained his power, he didn't dare to face the silver-haired old man who was already a hundred years old.

Just like in the first grade, he wanted to get the Philosopher's Stone with the help of Quirrell, but Dumbledore still seemed to have planned everything.

He designed so many levels for him.

He knew that it was all to calculate him. After all, if such a powerful person wanted to protect the Philosopher's Stone, would he need so many tricks?

If he carried the Philosopher's Stone with him, who in the entire wizarding world would dare to be tempted by the Philosopher's Stone?

Therefore, even after resurrection, Voldemort still did not dare to show off in the wizarding world and act without regard for others.

He was afraid that all this was Dumbledore's conspiracy.

He did make a resurrection plan with Barty Crouch Jr., the child who regarded him as a father, and the ugly mouse beside him.

However, as for how much confidence he had in this plan, no one knew about it, and the only one who knew was himself.

That plan, as long as Dumbledore shook his head and resolutely did not let Harry Potter become the fourth warrior.

His resurrection plan could be declared dead before it was accomplished.

However, who could have thought that the child actually did it, and he regained his power from the resurrection ceremony.

He was surprised, and he wanted to finish everything in one go.

But the guy who survived the disaster escaped from his hands again.

He had to wonder if he was seen through by Dumbledore again and was in his hands.

He even didn't react to let others intercept Harry Potter when he escaped.

Forget it, let's wait for the child to come back. He has already thought about how to reward the child he trusts the most.

He remembered that he and Barty Crouch agreed that once he saw the mark of the Death Eaters, it meant that he had successfully resurrected, and the child should come back to reunite with him immediately.

However, even Severus Snape, the guy who lurked around Dumbledore as a spy, successfully reported it.

Barty Crouch's figure was still missing.

He knew that the child was probably captured and was in the hands of the person he feared the most.

He should have gone to rescue them, as long as he brought this group of people to Hogwarts to cause trouble.

Threatening with the lives of students, he knew that Dumbledore would most likely compromise.

However, he didn't dare to meet the old man when he didn't know how many cards Dumbledore had in his hand.

——

Grete never thought that after their relationship fell apart and they had clearly become opponents.

He could still receive a letter from Dumbledore and a note as a gift.

There were no complaints, no questions, and even no mention of Grete's slander against him in Dumbledore's letter.

The two knew very well why Rita Skeeter wrote such an article, and it was not because of Grete's instruction.

Dawn wanted to be published, but didn't want to cause the destruction of the entire wizarding world so quickly.

Turning the topic to another hot spot is undoubtedly the best way.

As long as it can get through the most difficult start, Dawn can gain a foothold in the wizarding world.

By then, even if Dawn is in danger of extinction, it is impossible to execute all of them because of the law.

As long as the ideals of Dawn can be preserved, or even a little bit.

Then one day, Dawn will still crawl out of the discarded pile of old papers, grow into a blazing flame, and make a comeback.

The only purpose of Dumbledore's letter was to persuade Gretel not to unite with Voldemort.

He talked about Voldemort's character, his development, and his concerns about Voldemort's rule over the wizarding world.

However, from beginning to end, there was not a single word about his vigilance against Gretel.

In other words, his only exhortation to Gretel was to hope that Gretel could stay away from Voldemort and avoid falling into the abyss of black magic.

Gretel did not reply, or he did not know how to reply.

He was very complicated when facing Dumbledore.

Unlike Voldemort, when Voldemort faced Dumbledore, he was afraid, wary, and perhaps a little bit of admiration?

But what about him?

Putting aside the dawn, just from his own perspective, Dumbledore is more like a mentor and helpful friend with different ideas.

Compared to the radical Gretel, Dumbledore is very conservative, or in other words, he is very conservative. He just wants the wizarding world to go on peacefully, even if the final outcome will be nothingness.

Grete had obtained many notes from Dumbledore, from his youth to his old age.

In the notes, the young Dumbledore was a young and frivolous young man.

He had outstanding talent since childhood, so he had the capital to look down on the people around him.

He got the notes from Godric's Hollow from Grindelwald.

At that time, Dumbledore, who was as arrogant as a cone in a bag, gradually restrained some of his edge with the company of Grindelwald.

He knew that there were people with the same talent as him in the world, and he was not so unique.

However, Grindelwald thought that wizards should rule over humans, but Dumbledore thought that they should develop separately and cherish peace.

After parting ways, Dumbledore's notes began to reflect more and more.

He felt that power could easily lead people astray and bring destruction. Since then, he rarely studied lethal spells.

Later, when he was chasing Grindelwald, he still did not give up taking notes.

At this time, his notes were full of reflections, including on power, system, Muggles, and everything he had experienced in the world.

He often took all the blame on himself, and he took Grindelwald's crimes on himself in his notes.

The sins caused by Grindelwald also became his sins.

In those years, he saw countless deaths, wizards killed wizards, wizards killed Muggles, Muggles killed Muggles, Muggles killed wizards...

This kind of reflection reached its peak after Grindelwald was defeated.

At that moment, he insisted that breaking the Statute of Secrecy meant fighting, fighting meant death and no peace.

In Godric's Hollow, Grindelwald did not get his first saint as he wished.

Dumbledore insisted on the love and peace in his heart.

This persistence became the only belief after losing his lover and becoming the winner.

For Dumbledore, if he wanted peace, he had to reduce the factors that might bring war.

The Statute of Secrecy can effectively prevent the emergence of another Grindelwald in the wizarding world. In this way, war with Muggles can be avoided.

However, he did not expect that there would be another Tom Riddle in the wizarding world.

The Voldemort whose mind was full of pursuit of immortality.

Dumbledore thought that he could prevent such things from happening by keeping a close eye on him.

But he was wrong. It is better to open up than to block. Tom Riddle became Voldemort and brought disaster to England.

The content of the notes after that was about Gret.

Gret never thought that Dumbledore would make notes about him.

He also did not expect that, in fact, Dumbledore knew a lot about him.
