Super Portkey: The Philosopher's Stone / Divination, a Prophet in a Besieged City
Or, to put it another way, to become the Minister of Ministry of Magic himself...
"Harry... I agree!"
After a long period of contemplation, Dumbledore finally let out a roar, his voice filled with suppressed emotion.
He had just gone through a real struggle, but ultimately decided that he could not become Minister of Ministry of Magic.
The reason... I won't go into it.
"Sir Principal, please don't relax yet, I have one last condition."
But at that moment, Harry suddenly revealed a confident yet extremely cold smile!
After continuous suppression and compromise, Albus Dumbledore finally fell into the trap, and now is the moment when his psychological defenses are most vulnerable!
"You must tell me where Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt's nephew is hiding, or all the conditions we agreed on will be null and void!!"
That's right, this was Harry's final, fatal blow!!
"What did you say?!!"
Look, he just jumped up from the chair!
Boom!!
The sudden surge of power seemed to transform into a sudden gust of wind, rushing towards Harry and even instantly smashing the desk in front of him into a pile of wreckage!
The strong wind tousled Harry's hair, made his clothes flutter, and even cracked his glasses.
This is the power of Dumbledore's wrath; if you don't mind the jarring effect, Harry could also call it 'terrifyingly powerful'.
Dumbledore indeed very powerful; at least in terms of magic alone, Harry is not yet his match.
But what can he do? Even though he possesses formidable magical abilities, neither Harry nor Voldemort can at least put up a fight against him now.
Besides being powerful, what else does he have?
Reputation?
His name is indeed renowned throughout Europe and even the world, and he boasts a whole host of impressive titles, but upon closer inspection, aren't they all just empty names?
The fact that twelve School Governor members could remove him from his position as principal at least demonstrates that... his 'prestige' is less than the actual threat posed by Lucius Malfoy.
He was the Chief Warlock of Wizengamot, but he didn't even have the power to cast an extra vote, let alone a veto power; he was just a big, figurehead.
As for the position of president of the International Confederation of Wizards, the fact that Akinbad agreed to Fudge's plan shows that he was quite confident in replacing Albus Dumbledore as the new president.
So what else does he have?
The only force he currently controls is the Order of the Phoenix, but aren't those guys just asking for nothing but their lives?
Besides being used as tools, what other purpose do they serve?
Ironically, even so, Albus Dumbledore might not have given the Order of the Order of the Phoenix members as much freedom as Voldemort gave Barty Crouch Jr. Crouch Jr.
So the question is, given that Albus Dumbledore, besides his martial prowess, is all talk and no substance, how can he possibly fight against the current Harry?
Are we using the original novel and movie filters?
"Sir Principal, if you don't want to talk anymore, then please leave."
Despite being struck by Dumbledore's magic, Harry remained calm and composed. He waved his hand, and everything that had just been destroyed was immediately restored to its original state.
At the same time, the office door was opened.
He had no intention of having a proper discussion with Albus Dumbledore. The whereabouts of Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt's nephew was the prerequisite for everything we were talking about today!
Only when this condition is met will Albus Dumbledore be qualified to stand up for the three involved parties and compensate Harry!
If that can't be satisfied, then let's just part ways and keep dragging it out...
Of course, it's probably not just a matter of dragging things out.
Dumbledore, who was about to leave, suddenly noticed the wristband on Harry's wrist that was clearly being deliberately exposed and was shimmering with light, and his mind immediately went to the next level!
"Are you plotting something again?!"
"Yes, sir," Harry nodded without hesitation. "Before you arrived, I had already sent people to the Ministry of Magic, and I have a way to maintain remote contact with them at any time. Headmaster, the moment you step out of this door today, my men will immediately bring Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt back! Note... immediately!!"
"Harry, are you going to attack the Order of the Order of the Phoenix?!" Dumbledore glared at Harry, his anger barely contained.
"Headmaster, your question is ridiculous. Haven't we already fallen out a long time ago?" Harry stood up as well, retorting sharply, "Or do you need me to help you recall how many times you've openly and secretly instructed them to trip me up? What... you can keep scheming against me, but I can't retaliate?"
"But they are all innocent!" Dumbledore even raised his wand at Harry. "I orchestrated everything. If you want revenge, come at me!"
"No, because you have no right to influence my choices!" Harry's attitude remained unwavering. "I've decided to only pursue the guy who sowed discord between Hermione and my foster parents. If you insist on protecting him, I'll take care of the Shackles, your Order of the Phoenix Shacklebolt, and the entire Ministry of Magic Britain all of them!!"
"You... here you go!!!"
In the end, Dumbledore extracted a memory from his mind, angrily threw it at Harry, and turned and stormed off.
Chapter 716 Super Portkey, Sorcerer's Stone
Harry finally won this counterattack against Albus Dumbledore, and won it decisively.
He gained a newspaper out of nowhere, the right to legally appear in public for Norberta, secured a dragon egg for Hagrid, and while enhancing his own reputation, he also diverted the attention of the Order of the Order of the Phoenix of Ministry of Magic.
Most importantly, he finally found the nephew of Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt, the messenger who had tricked Hermione and her parents back then, and who had been hiding all along!
"Phew~" After Albus Dumbledore left, Harry let out a long sigh of relief, slumped loosely in the chair, too tired to even blink.
He was really exhausted...
He had made extensive preparations for this showdown, which enabled him to completely overwhelm Albus Dumbledore and leave him utterly helpless.
Every question he posed, every word he uttered, and even every shift in his emotions was meticulously planned by Rowena. She controlled the entire situation in the Britain Wizarding World, gradually provoking Albus Dumbledore's emotions until his psychological defenses were on the verge of collapse, before unleashing her final trump card!
What is the overall situation in the Britain Wizarding World?
To outsiders it appears to be a battle between good and evil, but in reality it is a three-way standoff.
Of these three, Voldemort is the absolute evil and must be eliminated.
Of the other two parties, whoever has the right to overturn the table will gain the upper hand!
Harry can overturn the table without any scruples because he has a lot of evidence that the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Order of the Phoenix framed and slandered him. As long as he establishes the banner of correcting wrongs and the persona of a victim, he can completely portray the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix as another reactionary force.
But looking at Albus Dumbledore, what reason did he have to overturn the table?
Are they going to publicly announce that Harry Granger will become the new Dark Lord?
Come on, most of Europe now thinks Harry has gradually replaced Albus Dumbledore as Voldemort's greatest enemy, okay?
It's one thing for you not to support the person you promoted, but to actually join the Ministry of Magic in turning against them. Aren't you afraid of being talked about behind your back?
Therefore, Albus Dumbledore never had the opportunity to demonstrate his personal fighting prowess, and the Order of the Phoenix was not a particularly powerful force. In the end, he could only submit to the overall situation.
The consequence of yielding to the greater good is that he will inevitably have to abandon Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt's nephew, or he will be forced to overturn the table by Harry.
At this moment, Albus Dumbledore, who was used to the absolute obedience of the Order of the Order of the Phoenix, probably didn't realize that... Harry's scheme this time was not just about revenge.
People are all made of flesh and blood. If you abandon someone's nephew like a scapegoat in the name of the bigger picture, how will Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt feel?
Will he hate Harry, or Albus Dumbledore, or... both of them?
So you see, this is Harry's deeper purpose.
In the entire Order of the Order of the Phoenix, Harry considered Albus Dumbledore and Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt to be the two smartest minds, so it was quite necessary to sow discord between them.
Of course, if Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt were to abandon his nephew without batting an eye and insist on remaining loyal to Albus Dumbledore to the bitter end...
He's truly amazing; he's even more suitable to be Minister of Ministry of Magic Fudge!
"Heh... I didn't expect Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt to be so good at hiding people."
Although he was quite exhausted, Harry did not let his guard down and almost immediately began to explore the memories left behind by Dumbledore.
Upon further investigation, he discovered that Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt and Albus Dumbledore were indeed evenly matched... especially in their wariness of him.
Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt's nephew had initially been hiding in a remote county in Britain, but after Harry arrived at Hogwarts in his second year with a large group of Fantastic Beasts, he was immediately sent out of the country.
After that, as Harry's strength and influence continued to grow, the place where that kid was hiding became farther and farther away.
He has now been sent to Armenia.
The Transcaucasia, though located in Western Asia, is a small country politically and culturally part of Eastern Europe. It's over 3,500 kilometers from Britain, even farther than Albania, where Voldemort hid.
The memories that Albus Dumbledore gave to Harry included not only the other party's specific address in Armenia, but also a spell to break.
The reason for this is that the house of the Shacklebolt family boy was under Fidelius Charm, and the Secret Keeper happened to be Albus Dumbledore.
So it's obvious that Albus Dumbledore was always on guard against Harry finding that guy, which is why he kept the secret firmly in his mind.
But nowadays, he can't avoid leaking secrets even if he wants to.
After learning all this, Harry decided to go immediately!
Albus Dumbledore is probably on his way to the Ministry of Magic by now. He might not stop Harry's capture operation, but he will definitely instruct others to do so, so Harry absolutely cannot be slow!
However, Eliezer Harry to assist in the invasion of the Ministry of Magic, and after weighing his options, he decided to endure the disgust and Apparition alone.
Just as he was about to run out of the office and leave the nursing home's Anti-Apparition Jinx range, he happened to run into the Flamel couple walking slowly down the corridor.
Well, it probably wasn't just a coincidence.
"Teacher, Mrs. Nicholas, what brings you here?" Harry quickly stepped forward to support the trembling Nicolas Flamel.
"I saw Dumbledore with my crystal ball and wanted to come and see him, but he left before me." Nicolas Flamel smiled kindly. "Doctor, where are you going?"
"Uh... I need to go to Armenia right away." Harry reported his itinerary to Nicolas Flamel and briefly explained why he was in such a hurry to leave.
"Apparition is really not a good idea." Nicolas Flamel shook his head upon hearing this. "Doctor, why don't you make a Portkey?"
"I did think about it, but I'm afraid it won't be enough time." Harry's tone was somewhat serious. "The distance Portkey can travel is greatly related to the magic the maker inputs. The Headmaster's magic is stronger than mine, and his crafting skills are also more proficient than mine. He can definitely make it faster than me, so..."
"That's easy. Perenelle and I can help you turn the Sorcerer's Stone into a Portkey," Nicolas Flamel said with a smile, offering Harry some guidance.
"Huh? Is this... alright?" Harry was taken aback.
"Since Nicolas Flamel says so, then of course there's no problem," Perenelle said confidently. "The Sorcerer's Stone can indiscriminately fuse the magic of the three of us, so the speed will definitely be much faster than Dumbledore's own."
"Oh, I see." Harry suddenly realized and took out the Sorcerer's Stone. "It seems I still have a lot to learn. If my teacher and his wife hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known the Sorcerer's Stone could be used like this."
"The essence of the Sorcerer's Stone is its ability to create any substance, and magic is naturally within its capabilities, so its uses can only be described as wondrous," Nicolas Flamel explained with a smile. "Alright, since you're in a hurry, let's begin now."
After speaking, he and Perenelle began simultaneously infusing the Sorcerer's Stone with magic. Harry, seeing this, quickly followed suit, simultaneously reciting the spell to create Portkey...
"Portus!"
Soon, the Sorcerer's Stone in Harry's hand was transformed into a super Portkey capable of traversing 3,500 kilometers!
Chapter 717 Divination, The Prophet in the Besieged City
Less than twenty minutes later, as the surface of the Sorcerer's Stone gleamed, Harry knew that the Portkey was officially completed.
Honestly, he once again experienced the benefits of having an elder in the family. If it weren't for the help of the Flamel couple, it would have taken him an hour or even longer to create and charge a Portkey with enough magic to teleport directly to Armenia.
But just as Harry was about to leave, Nicolas Flamel suddenly called him back.
"Harry, Armenia, which you went to this time, seems to be a religious country, right?"
"I think so... I heard it was the world's first Christianity country," Harry said uncertainly, as he didn't really know much about the situation there.
"That must be it," Nicolas Flamel nodded. "Harry, after you've finished your business, you don't have to come back so soon. Why don't you go and visit some of the older church and monastery ruins in their country?"
"What are we going to those places for... um!" Harry didn't quite understand why Nicolas Flamel had arranged this trip for him, and at the same time, his head started to throb with pain.
Rowena... she seems to be sending Harry some kind of message too.
"Just go see it for me. I've traveled to Turkey, but I've never been to neighboring Armenia," Nicolas Flamel sighed softly. "I hope you gain something, but I don't expect you to gain anything... Anyway, don't worry about it too much. Just consider it an opportunity to experience a different country. Whether you go or not is up to you."
"Alright, I will go and travel around." Harry nodded respectfully in agreement.
Although he didn't know why the teacher had made this arrangement, Harry believed there must be a deeper meaning behind it. Besides, the Easter holidays were approaching, so even if he came back a few days later, it wouldn't cause any problems.
"Yes, go take a look. When you come back, you can start examining the memories of those two children," Nicolas Flamel said with a smile and a nod.
"Okay, I understand."
Harry nodded, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
