The sky gradually turned into a dark blue color, and at this time, only Kyle and Dumbledore were left in the bar.

At this time, the boss who had been wiping cups behind the bar finally spoke. This was also the first time he spoke today. "It's time for you to leave, Dumbledore."

"For the sake of a large sum of Galleons, Aberforth, will you allow me to stay a little longer?" said Dumbledore, his voice slightly tired.

Aberforth frowned, revealing a look of disgust, but he did not chase anyone away.

"Do you find it strange?" Dumbledore said to Kyle, "Yes, you heard it right, Aberforth, he is my..."

"Dumbledore!" a cold voice came, "If you continue talking like this, you will never step into my bar again."

Dumbledore shut up tactfully and changed the subject: "Kyle, do you know why I asked you to come?"

Kyle looked at Dumbledore, then at the gloomy-looking shopkeeper next to him.

He naturally knew the relationship between the two.

...Aberforth Dumbledore, the most well-connected shopkeeper in Hogsmeade.

But since the two didn't want to talk about this, he just pretended that they didn't know and followed Dumbledore's words and said, "Let me tell them the truth about Voldemort's resurrection?"

"That's just one aspect." Dumbledore said calmly, with no expression on his face, "Those who came here today, as well as the members of the Order of the Phoenix, are all trustworthy people. When the war starts, they will stand firmly on our side.

"I think you should know who they are."

Kyle frowned. He always felt that something was wrong with Dumbledore today.

To be honest, Kyle didn't actually think this was necessary. After all, keeping in touch with them was something Dumbledore should do himself.

Also, it was somewhat strange that he suddenly mentioned Aberforth's name, as if he was deliberately revealing their relationship to me.

Aberforth, who was not far away, also noticed this. He couldn't help but put down the cup in his hand and asked in a disgusted tone, "What are your plans?"

"No, I haven't," Dumbledore denied. "But I have no plans at the moment."

"Really?" Aberforth sneered, obviously not believing it. "I thought you could control everything, ha, the great Dumbledore."

"You don't understand." Dumbledore's tone rose slightly. "In fact, I am not as perfect as you think. I have only recently discovered this. Sometimes, this child's ideas are more insightful than mine."

"So I think it's necessary for him to know, that's all."

Aberforth glanced at Kyle subconsciously. This was the first time he heard Dumbledore speak so highly of someone.

But he didn't say anything.

Anyway, it's none of his business. The most he does is provide a venue, that's all, and he charges for it.

"Then let's calculate the cost." Aberforth put on a businesslike attitude. "Your people asked for a total of twelve bottles of cherry soda, eighteen bottles of pumpkin soda, nine pints of butterbeer, and other things. I'll give you five hundred Galleons. Pay."

Kyle's mouth twitched.

Holy crap, only 500 Galleons? How did he calculate it? If he was at the Three Broomsticks, the drinks he just quoted would only cost 50 Galleons at most.

How come it has increased tenfold here? It's too dark, even darker than Fred and George.

The things they sold to Ron were only worth twice as much at most.

"Oh, that's a good deal." Without even thinking, Dumbledore took out a bag of gold coins and put it on the counter.

Aberforth took the money and his expression finally improved a little. He turned back into the silent boss he was before, and ignored Dumbledore who kept chattering beside him.

Kyle looked at them, especially Dumbledore who seemed to have become a chatterbox, and always felt that he was not telling the truth.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something.

That time-turner... Nicolas Flamel's Philosopher's Stone is almost complete, or has it already been completed.

Thinking of this, Kyle couldn't help but frowned... The time turner was undoubtedly very attractive to Dumbledore, but that thing was also very dangerous to the user.

"Well, we should go back," he said. "What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, nothing." Kyle shook his head quickly and made up an excuse: "I just felt that everyone seemed to have overlooked a very important point in the meeting just now."

"What is it? Tell me." Dumbledore stopped and asked.

Although this was a plan that he had spent more than a month preparing, he still took Kyle's opinion very seriously.

"The Ministry of Magic," said Kyle. "Everyone seems to be overlooking this."

"The Ministry of Magic?" Dumbledore repeated in a low voice.

"Yes," Kyle said, "We have completely torn our relationship with Fudge, and he is also madly slandering anyone who believes in Voldemort's resurrection, especially you, Professor..."

"Ah, yes," Dumbledore admitted, nodding. "I did have a big row with him."

"That's the problem." Kyle continued, "If we leave it alone, the Ministry of Magic is likely to hold us back. We can't deal with Voldemort while also dealing with the Ministry of Magic's difficulties. It's a waste of time."

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll take care of this matter. I'll go talk to Cornelius."

"Excuse me, professor," Kyle said bluntly:

“Fudge went to Hovogetz twice a day because he was worried that someone would threaten his position. Only in this way could he get more support.

"But now is not two years ago, especially after Barty Crouch was transferred to the unimportant Department of Magical Transportation, no one can threaten his position.

"So, if you still want to deal with Fudge in the same way as before, you may be disappointed."

"Ha..." Aberforth, who was not far away, sneered sarcastically, "Such a simple thing, the great Dumbledore actually needs a child to remind him."

But Dumbledore ignored him and just looked at Kyle and asked, "Tell me what you think."

"It's very simple. Fudge's attitude is the most crucial point." Kyle shrugged. "It would be best if he is willing to listen, even if it's just not to make trouble. If he is not willing... I think it's not a bad idea to change a minister."

"No..." Dumbledore blurted out: "A sudden change of the Minister of Magic will cause unnecessary panic, which is exactly what Voldemort wants to see. We can't do this."

"But it's better than him messing around behind our backs." Kyle continued, "We are preparing to fight the Death Eaters in the front, but the Ministry of Magic, which is supposed to be our backer, is constantly sabotaging us and inciting more people to slander us. This is what Voldemort really wants to see."

"No, it's still not possible." Dumbledore insisted, "I know that what happened a few days ago must have made you think this way, but Fudge is the Minister of Magic after all, and he can't get into trouble.

"If we really did that, and got rid of Fudge for our own convenience, then what's the difference between us and Voldemort's Death Eaters."

"You are such a pedantic fool." Aberforth laughed again, and his sarcasm was even more obvious. "It seems that you are really old, and your mind is not even as clear as a child."

Dumbledore still ignored him and just looked at Kyle with burning eyes.

"Promise me you won't have such thoughts again."

"Well, okay." Kyle said indifferently: "In fact, it is not impossible not to change the Minister of Magic. I have another way that may change Fudge's attitude."

"How?" Dumbledore asked with interest.

"Before that, I have to say something." Kyle said: "This method may slightly affect your reputation as a professor. I still recommend changing the Minister of Magic."

"No, it's all right," Dumbledore insisted. "Just tell me. As long as you stop thinking about getting rid of Fudge, I will fully cooperate with you."

"Okay then." Kyle looked up at him and said word by word, "Go compete for the position of Minister, Professor."

"What?" Dumbledore didn't react for a moment.

"Of course, I'm not really going to be the Minister of Magic," Kyle said. "I'm just going to pretend and send a little signal to the outside world."
