A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 548: Influence
Until late at night, the village of Hogsmeade fell silent when Felix suddenly moved.
He stood up from the chair, stepped out, and appeared on a huge rock in the mountains of Hogwarts. At night, the mountains roared, and unknown beasts howled. Felix turned around and looked at the big hole in the rock wall. There was already a person inside. He wore a hood and merged with the darkness.
The wizard lifted his hood, revealing the pale, thin face of Lucius Malfoy.
Felix carefully observed Malfoy's expression. After a while, he asked softly, "Has Voldemort lost his temper?"
"I got a few Cruciatus Curses." Lucius tried his best not to care about his tone, "This is the best result, I almost couldn't help but expose it. That would be the end of everything."
"What excuse did you use to get away with it?" Felix asked curiously: "To be honest, you are a little tougher than I thought. It has been ten hours since I sent you the news. I have been waiting for you to call me to save you, or to receive your decision to move your family."
Lucius Malfoy shot him a hard look.
"I know the diary is very important to him. When he gave it to me, I asked me to keep it safe and wait for him to issue instructions before acting... I told him tonight that I was loyal to him. Three years ago I heard the news of the suspected owner, but he never showed up, so I gritted my teeth and sent the diary he gave me to Hogwarts, hoping that the news that the Chamber of Secrets was opened would attract his attention... "
Felix speculated about Voldemort's psychology.
At that time, Voldemort had already created many horcruxes, so he didn't pay much attention to the diary. Compared with the life-saving value of the horcrux itself, he actually regarded the diary more as a weapon.
Judging from the information revealed by Lucius, this involves an unfinished plan. Maybe Voldemort wants to use the diary Horcrux to open the secret room, kill some students, and take the opportunity to bring down Dumbledore. Thus allowing his influence to infiltrate this ancient magic school.
It is very appropriate to hand over this matter to Lucius Malfoy, who was still the director of Hogwarts at the time, but the timing must be clever enough, so after Voldemort handed over the diary to Malfoy, let him go home and wait in peace. information. And then... well, it wasn't long before Voldemort was gone.
"Voldemort summoned you alone?"
"Yes..."
"He also summoned Bellatrix?"
Lucius was taken aback, "That's it, we are in no particular order." He thought for a while and said, "I didn't realize the abnormality unless you said it, because he has been hiding his whereabouts during this period of time, and he was alone. Summon believers. It is rare that other people are present..."
Felix nodded, "You should be the first, Bellatrix is the second, after that... It seems that Voldemort will be very busy tonight, and of course, his temper will be getting worse ...Lucius?"
Lucius looked at him.
"If Voldemort suddenly summons you again these two days, hurry up and pack your bags and run. But if he endures it, he can stay."
"Why?"
"Because I can't guarantee whether he will vent his anger on you." Felix said quietly.
In the next two days, many wizards who participated in the ancient rune exchange activities left early. Most of these people are tourists. They simply want to witness the birth and development process of a new discipline. As a result, what happened at the venue greatly exceeded their psychological capacity, and they chose to leave with lingering fear.
When the Ministry of Magic re-registered, there were probably more than two hundred tents unclaimed.
But more people choose to stay.
These people's thinking is also very simple, they saw a thrilling battle. To be honest, they had already been mentally prepared for Dumbledore's strength - after all, they had accumulated more than half a century of fame. Judging from the scene at the time, Dumbledore was worthy of his title of "the greatest white wizard".
The surprise was Felix Hepp.
He was well-known in many countries before, of course, people know his name in different ways. Some knew him through the books he wrote, some knew him through the "future world" company, and some people only knew Felix's name because they experienced the riots at the Quidditch World Cup final camp. Valley
But if they are asked to give an accurate position, they will be at a loss. Are you an expert in Muggle studies? Excellent businessman? Ancient rune professor? Or a memory therapy specialist? It is estimated that they will quarrel themselves.
It wasn't until the end of this ancient rune exchange event that wizards all over the world had a unified understanding of the name Felix Hemp: he was an archmage at the same level as Dumbledore.
When the journalists who participated in the event sent the news back to their own countries, everyone was stunned. Afterwards, a steady stream of people rushed over, wanting to collect first-hand information.
Historians, staff of the Ministry of Magic of various countries, journalists from newspapers and magazines, members of the Anti-Dark Magic League and the Alchemy Association all applied for entry, and then rushed to Hogsmeade impatiently, first facing the scorched earth outside the village for a while Visit and snap a photo, and then listen to Felix Hep explaining his understanding of the runes. When he is free, he will interview someone randomly and learn about the two soul-stirring battles from those who have witnessed them.
Before this, the local newspapers in the British magic world had already exploded.
The reporters and photographers who rushed over on the first day were all so busy that they had to rush ten manuscripts at the same time in addition to developing photos. Rita Skeeter once again showed her extremely professional nonsense. With the ability to create indiscriminately, a vivid article can often be freshly published in only ten minutes, but her writing style is becoming more and more sensational.
The new editor of the Daily Prophet has a headache.
"Listen, 'Three people on top of the world' - how could they include Voldemort?" In the library, Hermione read the title of the article with a look of disgust.
"In a way, she's right." Ron said with a strange expression: "I remember there was another article titled—'The Power of Love Awakens the Boy Who Lived', tsk tsk."
Harry turned his head in embarrassment. He didn't know how to explain his relationship with Ginny to Ron. Let's put it close. They haven't talked much since school started, except at the frontline lookout station, but let's talk far... Harry's thoughts raced, and he remembered the kiss at the training ground in the basement of Black's old house.
"Mafalda is pestering you again?" Ron asked.
"What?" Harry looked in the direction of his gaze, and as expected, he found Mafalda. She was hiding behind a stack of thick books, and she looked like a replica of Hermione in the first grade, but Harry It can be guaranteed that Hermione only competes with her in the desire to win and lose in homework, and in other areas—such as the pathological desire to spy and revenge, Mafalda is better~IndoMTL.com~Another one Rita Skeeter. said Ron.
"You called her Gilderoy Lockhart some time ago." Hermione stabbed him.
"Is there a difference between the two of them?" Ron muttered.
At this time, Harry saw Draco Malfoy walking into the library sickly, sitting alone on the table in a daze.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Harry, who hadn't seen Malfoy for two days.
"It is said that he is sick. Lee Jordan saw him when he went to the school hospital to stop his nosebleed." Ron said vaguely, and Harry immediately understood that Lee Jordan must have taken the risk of trying the quick-acting skipping sugar developed by Fred and George. I remember that there is a candy named Nosebleed Nougat.
Ron seemed to have forgotten to trouble Harry at this time, he leaned over and said in a low voice, "Maybe it was to cover up the fact that he had left the school," he showed a meaningful look, "Professor Haip forced We swore not to tell anything about his presence, or he would use magic to seal our mouths."
"That's not what the professor said!" Hermione exclaimed angrily.
"Well, I guessed it," Ron shrugged, "Anyway, his expression was quite serious at the time."
This time Hermione didn't refute.
Harry looked at the distraught Draco with complicated emotions. He abided by the agreement and did not tell Ron and Hermione the truth about the Horcrux in the diary. This made Harry feel that his relationship with Malfoy had undergone a subtle change, and Harry couldn't say whether it was getting better or worse. , but Malfoy seemed to be invisible again on important matters.
One time was when he voluntarily handed in the diary Horcrux; the other time was when he personally witnessed the Hogsmeade battlefield.
Professor Haipu was there twice...
Draco looked up from the table, revealing two distinct dark circles under his eyes, and when he saw Harry, he turned his head quickly.
