A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 260: Coping

A certain Hogwarts professor of magic text volume Chapter 260 Response After coming out of the school hospital, Felix stood in front of the window of the castle corridor and saw from a distance the little wizards returning from vacation from the long Appeared below the ramp, even if he couldn't hear the sound, he could still imagine their excited conversation from the body movements.

"School starts tomorrow. I'd better ask Percy Weasley during the dinner. It's eleven or two years. It's hard not to think about it at this time..." Felix said to himself: "There is also the conversation between Dumbledore and Lupine. Although the specific details are unknown, you can judge one or two by looking at the principal's behavior afterwards."

"I seem to be stepping on a key node in a drama, and what follows is an unremarkable ending, or a shocking reversal?"

"Felix"

Professor McGonagall's voice came from the other side of the corridor, and she hurried, the hem of her robe fluttering behind her.

"My Patronus didn't find you..." She walked in front of Felix, her chest heaving violently, and said quickly: "Dumbledore has arranged a series of tasks, Hagrid and Snape went to the station to pick up the students , Flitwick went to modify the magic of the school wall, and there are still a few secret passages that need to be temporarily sealed...he himself wants to meet the centaur leader”

Felix's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Did Principal Dumbledore mention the order about mice?"

"Oh," Professor McGonagall gave him a weird look: "Dumbledore said that you might know, so I don't have to keep it from you. But it's best not to spread it out"

"I'm going to the school hospital and the common room to see if Weasley's rat is still there. My God, I couldn't believe it when Dumbledore told me that it could be a Animagus of the Dark Wizard."

"Is there anything I can do, Minerva?"

"There are two secret passages directly connected to Hogsmeade in the castle, and I need your help to seal them..."

Later, in the faculty lounge next to the auditorium, Felix saw Dumbledore again. He was talking closely with Professor McGonagall, and their faces were very serious.

"Percy Weasley told me that twelve years..."

In addition to McGonagall, he also saw Lupin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He looked tired and looked even more tired.

Professor McGonagall is still reporting on the task assigned by Dumbledore, "... Hagrid and Snape completed the task very well, and there were no accidents in the middle. Flitwick still needs some time. As for the seven secret passages, Four of them have been sealed long ago, the other three secret passages, Whomping Willow, let me leave it alone, and the remaining two." She looked at Felix.

Felix said: "The one-eyed witch statue on the fourth floor of the castle has been closed by magic, and the one behind the mirror on the fifth floor has collapsed."

After a short pause, he couldn't help asking: "Dumbledore, I don't quite understand. Are you worried that Black will come in through the secret passage? Why don't we use this to set up traps?"

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){} Dumbledore shook his head slightly, "The risk is too great, they are directly connected to the interior of the castle, I only left the Forbidden Forest The Whomping Willow on the side said secretly, maybe you can find the trace of Black."

He looked at the three people present, and said in a low voice, "I don't want too many people to know about the matter before it comes to light. Of you three, one is too deeply entangled with the past, one is my trusted deputy, and the other There may have been clues..."

"I want to tell you: Sirius Black's betrayal of the Potters is doubtful, because Pettigrew Peter, who is suspected of being killed by him, may have been alive all the time, even as Ron Weasley's pet. That is, the mouse Scabbers has lived in the Weasley family for twelve years."

McGonagall exclaimed, "Oh my God! Is it true? Albus, you told me you were a dark wizard..."

Lupine looked at Felix, his face was calm and calm, and he did not show the slightest surprise. Sure enough, as Dumbledore said, Felix Hemp is a very sharp person, and this is Slytherin The most outstanding student of recent decades?

After half a semester, he had a certain understanding of this frighteningly young professor. When he first learned about Felix's performance in school, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

This is much more exaggerated than what they did back then, including the duel that caused a sensation in the wizarding world. He also heard a more complete version. Since then, he has kept Felix at arm's length. A few times, one's identity may be seen through...

Dumbledore replied softly: "I'm not sure, Minerva. The two most important people, Black is still at large, Scabbers is also missing, and he may even never return..."

Lupine interjected: "It's very unlikely, I know him, and if the mouse is really Peter, he'll wait and see from a place not far or near where he thinks it's safe until things go his way." It is expected to show up."

Dumbledore nodded and said: "This is also the reason why I don't want to make the secret public, except because there is no evidence, I actually expect Ron Weasley's pet to jump out by itself, which will save us a lot of time .”

Professor McGonagall asked uneasily: "Albus, are we going to tell Potter them?"

"It's best not." Dumbledore rejected her proposal, "Minerva, for every one more person who knows the secret, the risk of leaking the news will increase tenfold. We may never see that mouse again."

He paused, "And the worst possibility is that the rats will hurt them."

Felix suggested: "Perhaps we can disclose some of the information to Miss Granger. We can't keep an eye on them all the time. Based on what I know about these three students, they are likely to launch their own investigation."

Dumbledore showed a distressed expression: "This is indeed a question, Felix, you are familiar enough with Miss Granger, do you think she is qualified for this task?"

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){} "I don't think there is any problem," Felix glanced at Lupine, "she is very good at finding out the truth and keeping secrets."

At the end of this short conversation, Lupine couldn't help asking Dumbledore, "Can we inform the Ministry of Magic and let them show mercy when facing Sirius..."

"For what reason?" Dumbledore asked rhetorically, his blue eyes shining brightly in the dimly lit room.

"All of the above are based on assumptions, and are our guesses based on existing questions, but Black has always been the Potters' secret keeper, and you agree with this, Remus? I provided the information to the Ministry of Magic back then. According to the information I got, he did not make any excuses during the private interrogation, so I am completely disappointed in him..."

"We have no evidence. With just a photo of an ordinary mouse, it is very difficult for the Ministry of Magic to accept your testimony, and once they know your identity," Dumbledore said, "your words will be greatly discounted."

Lupine's expression darkened. If he wanted to testify, he would have to tell what happened back then, and his identity as a werewolf was no exception. The attitude of the Ministry of Magic towards werewolves~IndoMTL.com~ the entire magic world knew.

"Remus, we've done our best."

The short meeting ended, and both Professor McGonagall and Lupine left, "Felix" Dumbledore stopped him from behind, and Felix looked at the principal suspiciously.

"If you catch Black I have no doubts about it, I hope you can keep him under control and keep him out of the way, especially Severus and the Ministry of Magic."

"I understand the Ministry of Magic, but Professor Snape"

"The misunderstanding between them is too deep, I am worried that Severus will do something irrational." Dumbledore showed a tired look for the first time, "I have to think more, Fei Lix."

"...I promise you, principal."

Felix turned and left the staff lounge. The lively noise in the auditorium formed a wave of sound, and everyone chatted loudly and excitedly. He saw Fred and George knocking on the goblet and The empty plate made a crisp sound.

……

The banquet ended with laughter and laughter. Felix returned to his office, reviewed what happened today in his mind, and found that the key to the whole thing was actually Sirius Black and the mouse. One, the dusty truth will be revealed to the world.

He shook his head, thinking about teaching in the new semester. The magic of the thinking cabin has undergone earth-shaking changes, which gave him a good idea.

"Try it in the ancient magic text class of the seventh grade. The world of thinking is really getting more and more wonderful. What it will become in the end, even I can't predict it."
