A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 479: 0 state before the game

"Stimulate the potential?" Snape looked at Felix with probing eyes, folded his arms, "What are you using it for?"

"I'm a security officer, I can't go out like this, it's too embarrassing."

Snape stared at him for a while, and he asked softly: "Next time I go to Diagon Alley to buy medicinal materials, I won't see your arrest warrant, will I?"

Felix rubbed his chin, "It's really hard to say...don't stare at me, well, I'm just kidding, the fact is that I study magic too much," he explained seriously.

But Snape didn't believe it at all. In the next second, rune patterns appeared on Felix's face. Snape looked at this scene in surprise.

"What potion do you want?"

"Of course it's the best one, the one that allows me to fight with someone after drinking." Felix said with a smile: "Since I'm your student, how about a 50% discount?" ?”

Snape frowned, "That potion has serious side effects."

"I can take it," Felix said seriously, "Severus, I need it."

After a moment of silence

"Wait!" Snape said viciously, waving his sleeves.

"Thanks, Professor." Felix waved behind him with a smile.

…

"Hermione Jane Granger!" Mr. Granger yelled loudly, looking at his daughter looking in from outside the door, he was very angry.

"Oh, Dad..." Hermione came in from the door, and several other warriors and their families in the room watched this scene with interest. She moved in step by step, looking at Mrs. Granger begging for help.

Mrs. Granger waved her hands with a look of fun. "I'm also waiting for your explanation."

"How about, um," Hermione tentatively whispered, "I'll take you to the campus?"

The Grangers stared at her at the same time, and Hermione stammered, "You must be very curious about this place for the first time, right? I have made some preparations, and you must like it..."

"What you mean by 'preparation' is to leave your parents alone for a long time?"

"I'm going to take the exam." Hermione justified in a low voice.

Mr. Granger looked furious, and Mrs. Granger looked at her teasingly, "How did I hear that warriors don't need to take the exam? That friend Harry who you've been 'helping' told me personally .You don’t want to avoid us, do you?”

Hermione was speechless.

It took a long time for Hermione to calm down her parents. They first visited the castle and then walked around the Black Lake. I met Harry and Sirius on the road. Sirius tried his best to chat with the Granger couple, but the effect was not very good. They couldn't talk about Quidditch, duels, adventures and other topics.

When Sirius vividly described how he got rid of a giant monster, what he got instead of admiring eyes and questioning about details, was a look of bewilderment and vigilance.

Before the atmosphere dropped to freezing point, Sirius finally found a common topic.

"Don't worry, there will be no danger, their group is the favorite to win the championship! And there is a security guard... that is Felix Heppe, you guys also know him? See you at the Leaky Cauldron? That's great! I know him very well..."

Harry felt very strange, and Hermione kept staring at him angrily while the adults were talking.

He quietly leaned over, "What's the matter?"

Hermione turned her head away, refusing to speak to him.

…

"Knocked out the three Unsettled Men? So the man's target was actually the Department of Mysteries?" Fudge asked from behind his desk.

"That's right, he stole all the hourglasses, and most of the energy of the crystal glass cover was lost..." said the Auror who was in charge of the investigation, and the three silent men who had unfortunately been knocked out stood silently behind the Aurors, bowing their heads. not talking.

Fudge twirled the quill for a moment, then looked up.

"What do you think is the purpose of that person?" He looked at the three silent men, "Travel through time? Change history?"

"Mr. Minister, don't worry, he can't do anything." Saul Crocker said impatiently.

"Why?" Fudge stopped the quill in his hand, "he took so many hourglasses...just hourglasses?"

"That's right!" Saul Crocker was glad that he understood this, "That man only has an hourglass in his hand, not a complete time converter."

"In case he finds a broken time-turner from the outside, after repairing"

"Impossible, no one can do this! Every scrapped time-turner has been repeatedly confirmed by the Unseen Man, and it cannot be repaired at all. We have tried for hundreds of years without success, and instead lead to the existing time There are fewer and fewer converters... It is even more impossible for an outsider to do it."

Fudge looked at him suspiciously.

"It's true," Saul Crocker said more and more confidently, this is his area of ​​expertise, "Also, the energy in the stolen hourglass is very low, I guess that person is also aware of this, That's why I took the risk of staying all night and wanted to replenish my energy"

"So?" Fudge asked impatiently.

"Naturally it failed." Saul Crocker spread his hands, "No one can learn this technique overnight. So the energy inside is naturally lost..."

"But if the hourglass doesn't work, why did that man take them all away?" asked Fudge with bull-like eyes.

"Mr. Minister, it is not my field to figure out the criminal's mind. I can only make judgments based on my profession." Saul Kroc shrugged and said. "The only problem is that the security system of the Department of Mysteries is not good enough, it should be upgraded."

"Thank you, Crocker," Fudge interrupted his speech, "I will consider it, but you have to understand that the Ministry is currently tight on funds, and if there are new donations, I will consider you as soon as possible. "

There was silence in the office.

After a long time, Fudge asked with a very hesitant expression: "Have you seen what that person looks like?"

Bode and Saul Crocker shook their heads. What they saw was Felix after using the Polyjuice Potion. The two looked at Fudge's expression a little strangely, for fear that he would suddenly pull out his wand to them.

"What about you, you should have seen something, the time limit for Polyjuice Potion must have passed by then." Fudge asked dully.

The third silent man said with embarrassment: "I was distracted, that person used a despicable trap..."

Fudge looked down at his testimony, "A ball of fire falling from the sky, burning wreckage? Yeah, it's despicable enough."

"..." The mute man bowed his head in silence.

Fudge continued to read the report, "I was attacked when I lowered my head, and I only saw a pair of feet... a pair of feet?" He raised his head, "Do you still remember what those feet looked like? What are their characteristics?"

The silent man shook his head, "Sorry, Mr. Minister, I can't remember clearly."

"I don't think so," Fudge smiled a little, "at least you can get a vague outline, can't you? For example, whether the steps are brisk, belonging to a young man?"

…

In the evening, the little wizards happily ate in the auditorium, waiting for the start of the third project.

"Fudge, you brought too many people today." Dumbledore said gently.

"I think it is necessary, the Ministry of Magic has just experienced an attack," Fudge whispered, "I must be on my guard."

"Ah, that's it." Dumbledore said softly, with a regretful expression on his face.

"By the way," Fudge looked around, "Why didn't you see Professor Haipu?"

"Maybe something has delayed it?" Dumbledore said with a smile.

Fudge glanced left and right, everyone was eating, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, hesitated for a moment and finally made up his mind, "Dumbledore, I need to seek your help, according to the Aurors' verification, that The lone traveler is terrifyingly powerful, even, not even worse than the person who can't even mention his name!"

Dumbledore showed a puzzled expression just right.

"Dumbledore, I know we disagree on some issues"

"Not a controversy," said Dumbledore.

"You what?" Fudge looked at him in bewilderment.

"That's not a controversy, Fudge," said Dumbledore patiently, "your hesitation will cost us a lot of time"

"Okay! Dumbledore," said Fudge angrily, "that's the controversy. I've backed off a step and sent a team of Aurors to investigate the Albanian forest. There will be results soon. I now think It's another thing!"

He slammed the table, and the forks on the plate jumped around.

Several principals from other schools on the seats looked towards this side for no reason, and Fudge made a gesture of apology hastily. When the others turned their heads, he leaned closer again and whispered, "Dumbledore, what I'm discussing with you now is how to deal with a dangerous criminal who broke into the Department of Mysteries with impunity and stole the time-turner hourglass." And stored energy for decades. God, what an evil practice!"

Dumbledore looked at him calmly, "With all due respect, Fudge, you don't look in any hurry."

"Of course I'm anxious! What if he wants to falsify history, what if he is on the side of the mysterious man, what should I do if I remind him on the day the mysterious man loses his power?" You should know what serious consequences it will cause!"

Dumbledore's expression turned serious.

"That's it," Fudge wiped his sweat and continued, "So I want to ask for your help. Our purpose is the same, and I assure you that as long as the investigation team brings back strong evidence, I will report to you." The public issued an early warning.”

Dumbledore was slightly silent, "What clue do you have?"

"Of course," said Fudge, overjoyed, eager to say, "he spent the night at the Ministry of Magic, trying to steal energy...he must have been exhausted and injured by an Auror, but unfortunately we couldn't His blood was found at the scene... Anyway, this kind of injury can't be recovered in a short time, so I'm curious about Professor Haipu's situation. Of course, I don't doubt him, I just cooperate with the investigation"

Dumbledore's expression became more and more serious. Fudge thought that the plan had succeeded, and he was beaming with joy. At this moment, a person walked in from outside the auditorium.

Fudge glared at the man, Felix was ruddy and radiant, without any sign of injury. He also specially changed into a suit, pulled out the chair and sat in the empty seat not far from them~IndoMTL.com~ Fudge's face was flushed red.

"It seems that Felix is ​​not the person you are looking for. He is in great shape. This outfit reminds me of the dance half a year ago. If there is music, I have no doubt that he is the one who stands out the most. ..." Dumbledore folded his fingers together and looked at Fudge's face with interest.

"Maybe I misunderstood, Dumbledore," Fudge said out of breath, his eyes fixed on Felix, and he said unwillingly, "I need to confirm again."

"You are always welcome in my office, Fudge, but next time you'd better bring evidence." Dumbledore said, his gaze was also on Felix, unlike Fudge, his deep blue eyes were extremely deep.

"Time..." he whispered.

As the enchanted ceiling turned from blue to a dark purple twilight, Dumbledore stood up at the table and everyone fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes, I will invite everyone to the competition venue to watch the last event of the Tournament. Now please leave the warriors and Mr. Bagman first."
