Witcher at Hogwarts

"Ethan, maybe we can talk?" Just when Ethan was about to leave, Dumbledore suddenly stopped Ethan.

"No problem" Ethan replied.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go have a drink and I'll treat you." Dumbledore said to Ethan in a relaxed voice.

The two then entered the Leaky Cauldron.

"A bottle of redcurrant rum!" Dumbledore called to Tom.

Then Dumbledore took Ethan to a remote corner of the Leaky Cauldron and sat down.

"Ethan, I have to thank you for everything you have done to eliminate Voldemort." Dumbledore said sincerely to Ethan as soon as he sat down.

"No need to thank me, Dumbledore, destroying Voldemort is our common goal." Ethan took a sip of the fiery red rum and said.

"Ethan, I think you may already know something. There has always been an organization in the magical world called the Order of the Phoenix." Dumbledore said to Ethan in a calm tone.

Ethan put down his wine glass in surprise. He did not expect that Dumbledore would suddenly talk to him about the Order of the Phoenix at this time.

"I've heard a little bit about it." Ethan said calmly, wanting to see what kind of medicine Dumbledore was selling in his gourd.

"Ethan, the Order of the Phoenix is ​​an organization I formed specifically to deal with Voldemort." What Ethan didn't expect was that Dumbledore actually gave him the answer directly.

"When Voldemort first gained power, I formed this organization to fight Voldemort. The Order of the Phoenix paid a heavy price in the process of fighting Voldemort, but in the end we defeated Voldemort."

Dumbledore began to tell Ethan the history of the Order of the Phoenix.

Ethan's face darkened slightly. He knew that the "price" Dumbledore mentioned included the lives of countless wizards.

"And now, after I learned that Voldemort had resurrected, I immediately re-established the Order of the Phoenix. At the same time, I also attracted a group of wizards with the same ambition to join our cause again."

"So Ethan, the purpose of my conversation with you today is that I want to invite you to join the Order of the Phoenix." Dumbledore finally confessed his purpose to Ethan.

"Dumbledore, although our purpose is the same, our directions are very different. I think I can't do it one by one." Ethan only thought about it briefly and planned to reject Dumbledore.

In a sense, Dumbledore was a ruthless man who would sacrifice anyone, even himself, to achieve his goals.

This can be seen from the extremely high mortality rate of the original Order of the Phoenix members.

Therefore, Ethan has no intention of joining Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix.

"I know Ethan, your goal is to become the Minister of Magic." Dumbledore suddenly said to Ethan.

Ethan's eyes widened slightly and he looked at Dumbledore. He didn't expect that Dumbledore would make his words completely clear here.

Ethan didn't make a sound, but looked at Dumbledore expressionlessly, waiting for what he would say next.

"Ethan, I can help you get the position you want." Dumbledore leaned forward slightly and looked seriously into Ethan's eyes.

"Fudge would have been a good minister in peacetime, but now that Voldemort has resurrected, it is difficult for Fudge to take on the big responsibility." Dumbledore continued.

"I believe that the Ministry of Magic will soon change its minister. As for the candidate of the new minister, I think you can be the one, Ethan." Dumbledore said, staring at Ethan's face with his blue eyes.

"Dumbledore, I have just joined the Ministry of Magic. I think I am not qualified to run for the Minister of Magic anyway." Ethan said to Dumbledore with a gloomy face.

"Voldemort is about to be resurrected. Today's Ministry of Magic is in great need of a knowledgeable and strong-armed figure in charge. Ethan, I think you are a perfect fit." Dumbledore said without giving in at all.

"So, as long as I join the Order of the Phoenix, you will use resources to make me the Minister of Magic?" Ethan narrowed his eyes and stared at Dumbledore's face.

"I'm sorry, although Ethan sounds a bit unbearable, it is just like that, but I can guarantee that I have absolutely no selfish motives in this. My only purpose is to defeat Voldemort."

Dumbledore said to Ethan sincerely.

Ethan's mind was spinning rapidly, and he was seriously thinking about this seemingly simple condition proposed by Dumbledore.

But Ethan couldn't be more clear that after joining the Order of the Phoenix, many of his actions would no longer be the same as before, but would have to follow Dumbledore's arrangements.

The real Dumbledore is also a man who can sacrifice everything to achieve his goals.

After a period of inner struggle, Ethan breathed out softly.

"I agree to join the Order of the Phoenix," Ethan said softly.

"That's great, thank you Ethan." Dumbledore's eyes curled up with a smile, and his long white eyebrows trembled with his smile.

But Ethan didn't smile at all. For some reason, Ethan even felt chills in his heart.

Today's Dumbledore no longer looks forward to the Dumbledore of the world where Ethan has never appeared.

Even in the face of aggressive pressure from the Ministry of Magic led by Fudge and Umbridge, Dumbledore only gave in step by step.

Ethan didn't know if Dumbledore had been stimulated by something, but now he was actively planning to kick Fudge out of the position of Minister of Magic.

It is indeed not difficult to replace Fudge with Dumbledore's connections and power.

But what chilled Ethan was that Dumbledore could easily replace Fudge and put himself in the position.

Then you can also replace yourself easily.

But now, there is no use thinking about these things. Now Ethan can only take one step at a time.

Relying on his understanding of Voldemort and his own strong strength.

Ethan believes that as long as Dumbledore doesn't deliberately frame him for death, he still has a high chance of surviving.

"Ethan, let's drink to our cooperation!" Dumbledore enthusiastically picked up the wine bottle and poured Ethan a glass of wine.

Then he raised his own glass, and Ethan followed Dumbledore and raised his own glass.

Their wine glasses clashed crisply in the air.

Then the two of them picked up the wine glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Ethan, we can go back to Hogwarts. I still have something to discuss with you." Dumbledore put down his wine glass and said to Ethan.

"Okay" Ethan stood up.

Later, Dumbledore and Ethan used the floo network in the Leaky Cauldron.

Quick teleport back to Hogwarts.

By the time Ethan landed smoothly, the two of them had already arrived at the principal's office.

There is a shallow stone basin placed in a conspicuous position in the principal's office, with a circle of strange symbols engraved on the mouth of the basin.

Ethan recognized it immediately. It was a pensieve.
