Albus hid his annoyed look with this statement. Ted was right. Why didn’t he check on this old bat? He was so complacent that everything was going fine, but now everything went out of his control. The ministry and the Wizengamot were not listening to him anymore and the school board was not listening to Minerva at all. Then, the ICW began to question him. Albus couldn’t afford any losses anymore. Akira Kurusu costed him everything dearly. The boy was like Tom Riddle. Only worse. The people were not forced to side with the dark like in Tom’s case, they are just abandoning him and willingly siding with the dark like it wouldn’t hurt him to know, but in reality, it pained him to see that so many lords and ladies, who were once on his side, were giving up on him and siding with Lucius Malfoy and his wife. Albus suffered pure pain watching all those going to the dark.
