In the spacious circular room, there is a circle of bookcases against the wall. Not all books are placed on it, but there are also some strange things, making all kinds of funny little sounds.

An old man with a white beard sat behind a huge wooden desk, chewing something in his mouth.

On the wooden desk with slender legs, there is a plate of \'cockroaches\', an unfolded book, and a delicate teacup, the teapot is hanging in the air, \'呲呲\' is steaming.

"Crack..." The owl tapped on the window.

As soon as the old man waved his hand, the window opened automatically, and the little owl flew in happily and circled the room. It seemed that the news it brought would make people feel happy.

The walls were covered with portraits, men and women, all purring softly in their respective frames, and the little owl curiously flew to a frame, trying to peck at a portrait that seemed to be asleep.

"Hey, I can look at you!" The portrait of the wizard pretending to be asleep opened his eyes and waved his hands to drive away the little owl.

The old man behind the desk was amused, and he beckoned to the owl, "Come here, child, let me see what news you brought me..."

The little owl obediently jumped onto the table, and the old man took the long rolled-up note from its little feet.

\'...Headmaster Dumbledore, though I don't know, just for a smooth floor tile - to watch (permit me to use the word) a little girl who is not threatening is necessary...but listen\'Hogwar Principal Ci\'arranged, I have been to the Muggle world a few times recently...\'

\'...Last time I mentioned that the Weasleys were staying at Anna's house for a while, the kids were honest, except for being a little naughty, (including selling toy magic items to Muggles, and misusing magic) but overall, they Did not do anything out of the ordinary...\'

\'...I also helped a lady who was in crisis some time ago. It is no exaggeration to say that they are all good children with excellent character and talent. If you are afraid that Harry will learn badly from them, then I hope my words will be able to Reassure you...\'

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly. It seemed that Professor McGonagall spoke highly of these children, which is a good thing... But I am not worried about this...

\'...The Anna you drew my attention to, she is very good and talented. As for the \'her ambition\' you mentioned - I'm not saying, what kind of \'ambition' can a cute little girl have? Dominate the wizarding world with a teddy bear? Children of this age only know how to run wild, and they gathered in Diagon Alley again today...\'

\'... Anna took the twins to buy ice cream, Harry and the rest of the kids were waiting for them to come back on the 92nd, ordinary, I'm squatting on the ground in front of their window now, everything is fine except the street is a bit hot …\'

Dumbledore picked up a piece of \'cockroach\' on the table and fed it to the little owl, "Thank you for your hard work in delivering the message." The little owl grabbed the candy, nodded and flew away.

On the shelf behind the wooden table, a tattered, dirty-looking wizard hat spoke, "Dumbledore... do you have some concerns?"

"No..." Dumbledore took a sip of tea, "I just think this girl is a bit like a person..." To be precise, it was like two people, one in prison and the other here.

Some portraits open their eyes.

"Her talent is very high, very high. The 'descaling spell' cast on the fourth floor makes the stone bricks extremely smooth, and the spell effect lasts for a whole day," Dumbledore said here, revealing a similar prank With a happy look of success, "Professor Flitwick, who went to the Charms classroom, accidentally touched the floor closely."

"Headmaster Dumbledore," a woman on the portrait looked disapproving, "perhaps you could put a non-slip sign on the edge of that tile...so students and professors won't slip."

"Oh Doris, of course," Dumbledore stroked his beard and laughed, "I'll pay attention next time."

"Dong dong dong!" There was a huge knock on the door, "Headmaster Dumbledore!" The man's hoarse voice sounded, sounding very urgent.

Dumbledore raised his hand, the door of the headmaster's office opened, and a dark figure broke in, "Headmaster Dumbledore! The dragon of Gringotts... the mark of the dark devil in the sky at Diagon Alley!"

"Calm down Snape," Dumbledore handed Snape a cup of hot tea, "Calm down."

I'm calm down! Voldemort's logo - in the sky! Gringotts dragon - has been released! He is not dead! And come out to do something!

With a thousand words hidden in his heart, Snape took the tea that Dumbledore handed over, "He's back."

The portrait on the wall exclaimed.

Dumbledore frowned, he looked at the letter that Professor McGonagall had just sent to him, Anna happened to be in Diagon Alley... Just a coincidence?

"Does the black mark on your hand react?"

Snape shook his head. "No, nothing happened - no Death Eater knew about it, it was completely unpredictable."

Snape took out a letter, "I can smell his surprise from Lucius' letter to me!"

"It can be seen that he hurriedly wrote it while he was eating," Dumbledore took the letter. The lower left corner of the expensive stationery was still stained with sweet soup, giving off an unpleasant smell.

\'...Snape - do you have any news? What's up with the Dark Mark in Diagon Alley? ! Is he back again? Merlin's beard...why did he let out the Gringotts dragon? Could the scope of this cleaning be further expanded? Please give me a reply as soon as possible…\'

"I don't even know how to answer him, there are five questions in that sentence..." Snape paced the circular office, "but what really bothers me is—I don't know the answer to any of these questions. …”

"This matter...is strange, strange in every way..." Dumbledore patted Snape on the shoulder, "If you have any reaction to the Dark Mark on your body, let me know in time."

Snape nodded.

"Da da da..." Quick footsteps came from outside the door.

"Crack!" The door of the principal's room, which was not closed tightly, was opened, and a tall woman walked in in a hurry.

"Headmaster Dumbledore!" Professor McGonagall shouted, until she saw Snape standing beside her, "Oh, Professor Snape," she paused for a moment, "I didn't expect you to be here."

Snape rolled his eyes inwardly, "Of course, of course I'm here, can't I be here?"

"Not now," Professor McGonagall said politely, "I have something urgent to look for, Headmaster Dumbledore."

"Hmph," Snape said nothing, turned and left the room.

"Headmaster Dumbledore," Professor McGonagall's expression changed the moment she heard the door closed, her eyes widened, her face full of surprise, "Anna—Anna you asked me to monitor, and those children I always feel that they have nothing to do with today's events!"

Dumbledore raised his hand, took a cup of tea floating over and handed it to Mag, "Calm down Professor Mag, calm down... Do you have any evidence?"

How can I calm down! That's a bunch of kids - back to Gringotts to release the dragon! Another black mark!

"There's no evidence..." She coughed twice~lightnovelpub.net~ took the tea cup, "but I think I must have missed some details... Anna and the others never came back from buying ice cream... Long was released, ha The three of them suddenly disappeared, and after a while the Dark Demon symbol appeared in the sky..."

"What connection should there be between this..." Professor McGonagall frowned.

"Why?" Dumbledore said suddenly.

"what?"

"Why are they going to release dragons? Why are they putting the Dark Mark in the sky?" Dumbledore stroked his beard, "Anna, this child who grew up in the Muggle world always gave me a strange feeling... Last time I found out when they showed up at Hogwarts..."

"It stands to reason that the one-eyed witch's secret passage requires a password to be opened. This password is absolutely impossible to guess. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Weasleys' children who were studying told their younger brother..." Dumbledore said to himself. on.

"But I asked Bill, Charlie and Percy, and none of them knew the secret passage existed, let alone the password..."

"Strange, strange," Dumbledore circled, "she knew that Nymphadora Tonks was a disguised magus, but Nymphadora said she never told Anna about this..."

Professor McGonagall swallowed.

"Maybe," Dumbledore stopped at the desk and picked up a piece of \'cockroach\' on the table, "Anna has a gift for predicting things, she knows Voldemort will come back... so she wants to do something to warn us …”

"V-" The teacup in Professor McGonagall's hand fell to the ground, shattered into several pieces, and the tea splashed on the ground.

"Don't be too nervous," Dumbledore waved his hand, the teacup returned to the table intact, and the tea on the ground disappeared.

"Maybe it's all just a coincidence?"
