In fact, before noon, Dumbledore returned to No. 12 Grimo Square at around 10 a.m.
From his expression, it was impossible to tell whether the negotiations with Sclinger were going smoothly in the morning, but after he saw that Sherlock was also here, he immediately found a room with him to talk to him.
“I gave Rufus enough reminder, but it seemed that he believed Fudge, who has now become his consultant.”
Dumbledore said calmly, speaking with a little regretful tone, not very frustrated.
Sherlock also said it plainly.
“Since Fudge stepped down, not only did he not be kicked out of the Ministry of Magic, but he could see what Sclinger was thinking when he was left behind. At first, he stayed with him, maybe he just wanted to stabilize him first and hand over the power in the Ministry. Now it seems that he still thinks that idiot said something reasonable.”
“What does Sclinger say about Azkaban?”
Dumbledore shook his head.
“He said he would investigate the dementors thoroughly, but then he vaguely reminded me not to interfere too much in the Ministry of Magic. He also suggested to me to bring Harry to the Ministry of Magic. They wanted to do some investigation into the Dementor attack last night.”
“He still doesn’t give up on Harry?”
“Sclinger wants to dominate the rhythm of the fight against Voldemort by himself. He wants to take everything into his hands.” Dumbledore and Sherlock looked at each other and said, “If he does have this ability, it is indeed a good thing to integrate all the powers together, and I don’t mind doing things according to his orders. But judging from what he did before as director of the Auror office, his ability in this regard is not even as good as Barty.”
“There is a strong desire to control, but the ability is not enough.” Sherlock smacked his lips. Although he did not speak again, the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.
Dumbledore took his glasses off his face, lit it with his wand, cleaned it up, and then said.
“Sclinger’s affairs are put aside for the time being. Even if he does not pay attention to my reminder, Kingsley and the others have already paid more attention to Azkaban, and we have other more critical things to do.”
His face became solemn.
“When you saw Voldemort’s Horcrux in the house where I was, I also went to search for it later. I have not gained anything yet, but this Horcrux in Hogwarts will not run away. We can take a closer look in the future. During this period, I have also reviewed his past again. If that diary was the first Horcrux he made, our next target would not be to look for a needle in a haystack.”
As he said that, he stood up from the chair.
“If you have nothing else in the afternoon, you can go out with me. Let’s check where Voldemort once might have hidden important things.”
Sherlock nodded, looking for Voldemort’s Horcrux, not only to prepare for the complete killing of him in the future, but also to increase the capital of Sherlock.
Lunch Mrs. Weasley made a hearty meal.
In front of Harry and the others, Dumbledore did not show any sadness, and happily told Ginny in a bad mood while eating, about the naughty incident when Mr. Weasley was in school at Hogwarts.
In terms of personal charm, Dumbledore is at least hundreds of streets away from Voldemort, and even his former opponent Grindelwald is slightly inferior.
