"Wait a minute, Argus!"
Dumbledore stood up from his chair.
With a wave of his hand, the door to the Headmaster's office was closed by an invisible force.
"If you don't believe me, I can give the Elder Wand to Minerva for safekeeping, and she will give it to you on your graduation day!"
"If you don't trust me, do you not even trust Minerva?"
Argus turned around, a smile suddenly appearing on his face.
Upon hearing this, Dumbledore finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, tomorrow, I will hand the Elder Wand to Minerva in front of you..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Argus continue.
"I'll worry about Harry's protection after I graduate."
"Of course, I will also ask Professor McGonagall to be my witness. Given Professor McGonagall's impartial attitude, I'm sure she will supervise the process rigorously."
Dumbledore was at a loss for words.
Can two things be the same?
If you don't get the wand, you'll just sigh for a while, and then you'll eat and drink as usual.
If Harry doesn't get help, he'll probably become a cripple!
He was also puzzled. He had arranged everything perfectly, just waiting for Harry to come and follow his plan so that he could gain a lot of prestige and grow into a true savior.
But now...
Forget about becoming a savior, without me, he might not even be able to graduate normally!
He gazed at the other with blue eyes similar to Argus's and said earnestly, "Argus, it's not that I'm unwilling to hand over the Elder Wand to you."
"Its power is too great, too easy to make people lose their way."
Argus watched him bluff quietly, and with just one sentence, he silenced him.
"That was my father's magic wand."
Dumbledore opened his mouth, then hesitated several times before speaking.
Finally, he silently took out his wand and placed it on the table.
"Remember our promise."
At a time like this, are you still trying to play tricks on me?
Do you really think I can't count?
Argus's wand slid silently to his sleeve, and with a flick of his wrist, he unleashed a spell that flew toward Dumbledore!
"Expelliarmus!"
Dumbledore's pupils contracted slightly, and he instinctively wanted to resist, but then he remembered something.
He was pushed back into the chair as if relieved.
"Three years, including this year, I will only protect Harry for three years."
Upon hearing this, Dumbledore immediately sat up from his chair.
"We agreed that..."
"Don't you know the reason, Headmaster?" Argus sneered.
His eyes swept over the Elder Wand.
"Harry will not be in any danger for the next three years."
"His own actions leading to his death are none of my business!"
"Alright." Dumbledore thought for a moment, then nodded helplessly.
Argus picked up the Elder Wand, turned, and left the headmaster's office.
The moment he got his hands on it, a system notification popped up in his head.
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Deathly Hallows - The Elder Wand, and have earned the achievement: Death's Gaze (1/3)]
[Achievement Points Reward: 200]
[Current remaining achievement points: 500]
...
Back in his dorm, Argus carefully experienced the power of the Elder Wand.
While also made of elderwood, the Elder Wand's core differed from that of his own, which had a core made from a Thestral's tail feather.
Neither elderwood nor Thestral tail feathers are particularly precious materials.
It's not difficult to replicate.
What truly interested Argus was not its material.
The moment he gripped the wand, he could clearly feel an indescribable surge of power flowing into his body.
"Expelliarmus!"
A thick, dazzling red beam of light blasted directly onto the chair inside the room.
Its power had increased by nearly one-third compared to before.
"This is already comparable to the power of a level 7 disarming spell, isn't it?"
"No wonder Voldemort went to such lengths to get his hands on the Elder Wand!"
"With the Elder Wand, plus the Philosopher's Stone as a power bank."
"Now, I should be qualified to face the professor head-on, right?"
Argus was unsure about this.
Because he had never seen a Hogwarts professor use his full strength.
However, he knew Vinda's strength.
Even with the Deathly Hallows in hand, he could only exchange a couple of blows at most.
Delay it a little.
It's impossible to defeat them!
Professor McGonagall's abilities should be comparable to Vinda Rosier's.
Even if it's weaker, it's still at least in the same category.
But the true strength of Hogwarts professors has never been magic.
Their research in their respective fields has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
In comparison.
Argus knew he still had a long way to go.
He casually put the shattered chair back together and muttered to himself.
"I bet many people have almost forgotten about the petrification incident, right?"
"It's time to find something for Dumbledore to do."
...
The next day.
Rita's news in The Daily Prophet had once again ignited the British wizarding community.
The newspaper contrasted the petrified students with the comfortable life after the Aurors moved in.
The text also indicated that Dumbledore had been suspended from his post, and that he petrifictation incident occurred after Dumbledore returned to campus.
The implication, both overt and covert, was that Dumbledore might be dissatisfied with his suspension and deliberately allowed the situation to escalate!
The masses were easily swayed, and even wizards were no exception.
Rita's conspiracy theory caused an uproar in the British wizarding community.
They couldn't believe that the person they once respected most had become like this.
Countless letters of condemnation and questioning arrived at Hogwarts.
Among them were even a few Howlers!
A deafening roar erupted from the Howlers, leaving Dumbledore dazed!
"Albus Dumbledore! What have you done! Is this how you run Hogwarts?!"
"Dumbledore, you are not fit to be the Headmaster of Hogwarts!"
Before they could utter a second cry, Dumbledore abruptly waved his hand, imprisoning all the letters.
He didn't even have breakfast before disappearing hastily into the Hogwarts Castle hall.
Argus watched the scene unfold with great interest.
It must be said that Rita's writing skills were indeed quite strong.
They could make seemingly unrelated things sound incredibly connected.
It also left plenty of room for imagination!
That's incredibly daring!
Daring to frolic in Dumbledore's minefield!
If used properly, this kind of person could be a pen in your hand that kills without drawing blood!
"Dumbledore probably never imagined he would lose face so badly."
"A school Headmaster receiving a letter yelling at him in front of his own students... tsk tsk..."
"Now you probably won't have time to talk to me, right?"
"You want to use the Basilisk to boost Harry's reputation? If you don't deal with this quickly, forget about boosting Harry's reputation, it's questionable whether you can even keep your job as Headmaster!"
