In the thinking cabin, Felix passed a cup of tea.

"It's getting more and more real here," Dumbledore said curiously, and he took a sip of the amber liquid. "What kind of tea is this, I don't seem to have drunk it."

"Ordinary tea, you and I have different tastes." Felix said, sitting across from Dumbledore. At this time, there were only two of them here.

"How much time do we have?" Dumbledore asked with a smile.

"Two and a half minutes," Felix rubbed his head, "if you insist, at most five minutes."

"That's at least a quarter of an hour," Dumbledore nodded slightly.

Felix glared at him, rolled his eyes, he cocked his legs, and said slowly: "Two things, one is to appease the four schools, the other is to track down the man behind the scenes."

Dumbledore crossed his slender fingers in front of him. "Do you have any insights?"

"The first thing is easy to solve, mainly depends on your opinion."

"My opinion?" Dumbledore said with a smile.

"The Goblet of Fire contract cannot be violated. This one can crush them, but this will cause a problem. Hogwarts' reputation plummets and it is embarrassing to be thrown abroad."

"This is also a scene I don't want to see." Dumbledore said decisively. "We need to make some compromises."

"There are two ways, one is to strengthen the opponent, and the other is to weaken oneself. The former is not advisable, after all, each school has different demands." Felix said calmly.

"Then you can only choose the latter. Let's talk about the second thing. This is the key point." Dumbledore said, "Who do you think their goal is?"

"It's only Harry, this is the most likely." Felix suddenly thought of something: "Sirius mentioned to me during the World Cup, Harry's scar..."

"I know about this, Sirius also wrote me a letter." Dumbledore brought this topic, and he said in a deep voice, "Speaking of the Goblet of Fire, I once suspected that Ha used any means to bypass the flame. The limit of the cup, but when Miss Granger showed up, I knew it was impossible."

"Is it possible to bypass the restrictions? I always thought it was a powerful obfuscation curse..."

Dumbledore smiled: "It is people who make the Goblet of Fire rules. If it is a person, there will be loopholes. To be honest, I am a little disappointed with the people in the dark. The means are too obvious."

Felix nodded. This is true. If the loopholes in the rules can be found, it may be even more confusing. But now, everyone knows that the Goblet of Fire has been artificially disturbed.

The difference is that the other four schools thought it was Hogwarts' hands and feet, and even if they were not, they took advantage of it.

"So, is it Voldemort?"

"So, Voldemort," Dumbledore said softly, "but based on what I know about him, it's impossible for him to do it himself."

"He must have a helper. The one who attacked Harry with Peter Pettigrew, maybe there are more." Felix continued along the principal's line of thought: "He once ruled less than half of England. This shouldn't be difficult."

Having said that, his mind turned around. The time limit he left for Lucius Malfoy was before Christmas, but now the situation has changed and he cannot wait any longer. In addition, according to the feedback from the patron saint of Swift, the mysterious antique seller seems to be also with Malfoy Manor. There are inextricably linked...

"No, Felix, you don't know him. Voldemort regards power as the cornerstone of his rule. If he loses his power, he loses the restraint of his opponents." Dumbledore sighed. "I visited him one by one during the summer vacation. The companions and staff in the orphanage, the more they understand, the more they understand his nature."

Felix thought for a while: "So he has been hiding in the Albanian forest for these years, and this is also related to this? He didn't trust anyone after losing his power. No, it should be said that the batch he trusted was imprisoned in Azkar. Ben...until Peter Pettigrew found him!"

"You got it to the point." Dumbledore agreed with him.

Felix frowned, "Can you be sure who moved the hands and feet? In theory, the four principals and the professors they brought have opportunities, even the professors in Hogwarts..."

This range is too big.

"Igor Karkaroff used to be a Death Eater," Dumbledore said calmly. "That's why I stopped Alastor."

"Will it be him?" Felix didn't quite believe it. Karkaroff's reaction was too real. Even if he wanted to clear his suspicion, he didn't have to work so hard. The emotions of the other three schools were inspired by him. .

On the contrary, it was Moody... the past scenes flashed quickly, and some suspicions were specious, and he could not show any evidence.

"Kakarov is unlikely. He betrayed his former master and gave a list of Death Eaters after the war." Dumbledore said: "I personally think that Voldemort will not find him."

"What about Imperius? Compound soup?" Felix said tentatively. It was not this person he wanted to talk about, but it depends on Dumbledore's attitude.

"You still don't understand what I mean, Felix. If it were Voldemort, he would not show his weak side to the former traitor. He would be more willing to proclaim his name after his resurrection and let the traitor live day and night. In fear, until silently dying in a dark corner."

Felix nodded, is this the pride of the Dark Lord? He said softly: "As far as I know, Professor Moody declared that he had been attacked before he joined the job..."

Dumbledore looked over sharply.

"...I also noticed that he carried an arc-shaped wine bottle with him, but I never saw him open it once. I was a little worried. Wouldn't he be thirsty?"

Dumbledore stared at him, and after ten seconds, he calmly said: "This is just your guess. Alastor's nerves are more sensitive, and he never touches any suspicious food. This is a recognized thing. I am. I have known him for more than half a century, longer than Voldemort. I know him enough, but I didn't find anything suspicious in him."

"We can't act on one person just because of guessing."

"It's that'you' won't act on people because of guesswork." Felix emphasized deliberately.

Dumbledore fell silent.

"Dumbledore," Felix said, "we shouldn't let potential threats stay with us," his tone sank, "at least to try."

After a moment of silence

"What are you going to do?"

"The Imperius Curse, the compound decoction, and the memory modification are three ways I can think of, but the third method cannot be verified for the time being without subduing Professor Moody." Felix said, and he took it with him. Others, make yourself look less directed at Moody's: "Of course, it also applies to other people."

"The premise is that they are not willing to become Voldemort's lackeys." Dumbledore added.

"Yes, if I am willing, my methods are very limited. The dark wizard who dares to do things in front of your eyes will definitely be defensive," Felix also felt tricky, "Can you still let me Investigate his memory a little bit, what's the difference between stripping someone out?"

If you get it wrong, you will create a mortal enemy for yourself.

Why do wizards value their memories? Because their worries are justified, sorcerers really have the means to modify, forge and erase other people's memories.

"I'll do this, Felix, I'll talk to Alastor." Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "Imperial Curse, compound decoction, I will verify both methods, but I will explore the memory, I disagree, that is the greatest humiliation to Aristo."

"But……"

"Until there is no more obvious evidence, I do not agree to use any excessive behavior." He said without any doubt, "Besides, if he has no problems, I intend to let him pay attention to suspicious people around him..."

Felix shrugged, "I'm waiting for your answer." He snapped his fingers, dissipated the magic, and the two returned to reality.

In the room, Mrs. Maxim was staring at herself. She looked angrily, her chest in black satin undulating violently, as if she would give him a fist in the next second, but she might have thought of him as a school manager. , This barely held back.

She was silent and did not speak. Karkaroff finally came back from Moody’s shadow at this moment, and said impatiently: "What is the small problem? How to solve it, you have been staring at each other for half a minute. Don’t speak, don’t think you can fool around like this. If there is no good way, then let go of Demstrang’s shackles and allow them to use any means."

"Principal Karkaroff," Felix said, looking at him, "Your student limit is not as big as you imagined."

"What are you talking about?" Karkaroff stared.

"I have a question, is Durmstrand a school for training dark wizards?"

"This is slander! Mr. Crouch, have you heard?"

"Listen to me," Felix stared at him. "Dermstrang is the most open-minded in his attitude towards dark magic. This is true. But it doesn't mean that Durmstrang is a In a school that'specially' teaches black magic, black magic only occupies a very small part of the teaching content. At least I can't see much shadow of black magic from your textbooks..."

"Black magic is the most widely used in the field of duels, but don't you teach the disarming curse? The coma curse? The iron armor curse?"

Felix slowly said: "Black magic is only an effective supplement, but it will never become the mainstream of an open enrollment magic school, even if you love black magic, you should keep this in mind! "

Karkaroff was so suffocated to speak.

If he admits that Durmstrang uses dark magic as the main teaching content, then the reputation of this school tomorrow will be completely stinky. As the principal, he must stand up for himself and the school.

Karkaroff blushed and said: "Black magic is only part of Demstrang~www.novelhall.com~ We have the ability to solve its side effects. There are special professors in the school who will evaluate the progress of students. Selectively teach black magic to students."

That's how it is said, but in private, many professors open one eye and close one eye, and will not be overly pursued. This is why Durmstrand has a reputation for advocating dark magic.

The reason why Durmstrang did not become a black wizard concentration camp is indeed related to the school's system. They did comply with certain audit standards. The advantage of this approach is that even if some students practice black magic in private, they don't dare to use it publicly, and the number of exercises is small, and the impact on xinxing is not serious.

"Then how to solve the extra group of warriors from Hogwarts?" Karkaroff changed the subject very bluntly.

"It's very simple. Since you all see it as an advantage of Hogwarts, then turn it into a disadvantage." Felix glanced lightly at the warriors and principals present, and they didn't care if there was any. The dark wizard secretly coveted Harry, or Durmstrang’s teaching problems, they just wanted to know how to reasonably weaken one side before the game.

"Principal Dumbledore, Mr. Crouch, and Mr. Bagman, I suggest that Hogwarts scores be calculated on average."
