Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1353: The Missing Professor

Parkinson is missing?

After Snape received the news and hurried back to Hogwarts to hear Amycus Carrow talk about Parkinson's disappearance, his face became more gloomy.

"When was the last time you saw Parkinson?" Snape asked with a frown.

"Friday afternoon, he was still teaching the fifth graders normally, and no one saw him again after that." Amycus called Vincent Crabbe, the captain of the special operations team, and asked him to give Snape reported the information he had just collected.

Neither the portraits in the castle nor the ghosts nor the students had seen Parkinson after Friday, so it was impossible to say for sure whether the Dark Arts professor disappeared inside the school or outside it.

The main reason is that Parkinson often leaves the school on weekends. Except for the black magic party, Parkinson basically does not appear in front of the students on weekends. Unfortunately, this weekend's black magic party was cancelled.

"Continue to investigate."

After Snape let the members of the special operations team leave, he turned his head to Amycus and said, "I will get in touch with Yaxley and send someone from the Ministry of Magic to substitute for the students."

"You seem to believe that something happened to Professor Parkinson?" Amycus was surprised by this.

"I'm just planning for the worst."

Snape looked expressionlessly at the dark clouds stirred up outside the window, as if it was going to rain again.

"Worst plan?"

"You should have heard some bad rumors about the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"What rumor?"

"That position is cursed. Every year the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts has an accident and cannot be re-elected." Snape said expressionlessly, "Actually, this is not a rumor, because this kind of thing does happen every year. It's happening, but no one knows why, I..."

"So, you think Parkinson's disappearance is related to that ridiculous curse?"

Amycus interrupted impatiently, finding Snape's claim quite absurd.

"No, I'm just in case."

Snape explained, "Because there was a similar case before, and it never appeared again after disappearing."

"Could it be someone from the Order of the Phoenix?"

The meaning of Amycus is self-evident, and he almost said that he doubted Professor McGonagall's group.

"We don't have any evidence, and Parkinson just disappeared," Snape seemed to see the uneasiness of the woman in front of him.

"When did you need proof?" Amycus said grimly, "Use Veritaserum."

"Because from what I've known for many years, they won't do such stupid things, but if you insist." Snape didn't refute, and took out a bottle of Veritaserum from the drawer and put it on the table.

[The novel app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, and the source-changing app used by old bookworms,]

"This is the last bottle, I don't have time to cook this thing recently."

"Horace Slughorn can help cook it!" Amycus said without thinking.

"That's at least another month." Snape said impatiently, "Do what you should do, remember it only takes three drops, I don't want to have to find a new transformation when I come back Professor."

"Where are you going?"

"Go find out if Parkinson is really missing."

The results of all the evidence are not optimistic. This matter is obviously not done by Professor McGonagall, so Amycus's "torture" is just a process.

"That's probably a curse, because there have been similar cases before."

After drinking the black tea mixed with veritaserum, Professor McGonagall said something that annoyed Amycus.

In just one afternoon, the entire Hogwarts students knew about Parkinson's disappearance, and many students also believed that their black magic professor Parkinson disappeared due to a curse.

As if to celebrate Parkinson's disappearance, some students set off fireworks late at night.

Neither Filch nor the Special Operations Team could do anything about it.

Where did Parkinson go? It became another mystery in Hogwarts.

However, no one expected that their black arts professors were actually in Hogwarts, but they were locked up.

Yes, Parkinson was turned into a mouse.

Now that he was put into an iron cage and brought into the Room of Requirement, he was able to enter the gathering place of Dumbledore's Army as he wished.

"It's better not to let more people know about this matter!" Ernie said, looking at the mouse cage covered with black cloth.

"Or, give it to me!" Michael said suddenly.

"You're not going to kill it, are you?" Seamus suddenly turned his head and looked at Michael with horrified eyes.

"No, no, I just want to keep raising it, and letting him continue to live as a mouse is the greatest punishment for it." Michael was in a very good mood.

"Maybe we should turn those Death Eaters into rats, they are really not fit to continue living as humans."

Both Ernie and Seamus saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes, and both felt that Michael seemed to have changed.

…

"So, you turned Parkinson into a mouse?"

Albert raised his eyebrows and looked at Fred, who was a little embarrassed, and asked, "There shouldn't be any evidence left!"

"No, Parkinson is often not at school on weekends. I still drink compound potions and show up at the Leaky Cauldron. I believe no one will suspect that the Hogwarts professor murdered him. They will only think that Parkinson It disappeared outside."

Fred was a little proud of this matter, and he did not forget to propose to Albert: "In the future, if we defeat those dark wizards, we can actually turn them into mice and raise them. You don’t need to kill people, but you can also prevent those vicious dark wizards from continuing to do bad things, and you can achieve multiple goals in one fell swoop.”

"Why, you are not going to be the owner of the joke shop now, but plan to change to be the owner of the pet shop?" Albert joked with a smile.

"Is that a bad idea?" Fred asked suspiciously.

"Some things can be done secretly, but you can't do it blatantly. If you let the Death Eaters know what you did, what do you think will happen?" Albert asked back.

"They will definitely say I did a good job!"

Fred blinked mischievously, knowing Albert didn't blame him for it.

"It will definitely cause a new round of turmoil, and you probably don't want cases like Hagrid to reappear!" Albert glared at Fred: "The bottom line of the Death Eaters is far lower than ours. , so there is no need to compare with them whose bottom line is lower, we cannot compare with them."

"Don't make this matter public again. Remember to remind the three of them. As for Parkinson, let him spend the rest of his time as a mouse. It is his punishment for hurting the Hogwarts students. I think This should take the anger out of the students' minds."

Albert had made similar considerations when Fred mentioned turning the defeated Death Eaters and Dark Wizards into mice. But this kind of thing is not suitable for too many people to know, because the level of secrecy of most people is really bad.

If they acted so recklessly, the British magic world would surely be in chaos.

The two sides will retaliate against each other.

For Albert, doing so is not only useless, but it will attract firepower to himself, which is completely worth the candle.

So, pretending that you don't know anything is the best choice right now.

…

"I heard about Parkinson's."

After Snape came out of the raised fire, he looked directly at the man on the sofa and asked straight to the point.

"Old Tom saw Parkinson at the Leaky Cauldron on the weekend. He seems to have gone to Knockturn Alley, and there is no news about him." Yaxley pushed a folder in front of Snape, "You There are a total of five people who are willing to list, but you also know that the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, even if the name is changed, the **** curse cannot be eliminated, so they are unwilling to accept this job for a long time."

"Parkinson's matter has nothing to do with the Order of the Phoenix?" Snape opened the folder and took out a piece of parchment.

"Did you hear anything?" Yaxley asked, looking up.

"No, I thought it would be done by the Order of the Phoenix or the Defense Association. Although similar cases have happened before, Parkinson's disappearance is indeed very abnormal." Snape tapped his fingers The desktop said: "You don't mind if I use your people!"

"Are you planning to continue the investigation?" Yaxley was a little surprised.

"Yes, I think it is necessary, just give me a team, and I will pay them enough."

Yaxley didn't object, so he agreed. He was just a little surprised that Snape didn't have any available helpers around him, but it was true after thinking about it.

"Aurors?"

After reading the document in his hand, Snape slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are there no Death Eaters?"

"Your treatment is not as good as that of the Ministry of Magic." Yaxley shrugged and said, "It's not attractive to most people, and they prefer to make more money now, the group of guys in your hand It's just that I don't want to work for the Ministry of Magic, so I plan to try my luck with you."

"I need to meet with them to determine who is a better fit for the job."

Since it was an Auror who was going to teach the students, Snape naturally chose someone with a higher level.

After completing the matter of Snape's substitute professor ~IndoMTL.com~ Yax left the other party to discuss the next private meeting.

Because the Dark Lord is not in England recently, Yaxley and Snape, the two Dark Lord's right-hand men, have the final say on the private gathering of the Death Eaters.

This was also the main reason why Yaxley was willing to give Snape convenience. The interests of the two parties did not actually conflict.

"Are you going to mobilize Death Eaters to suppress the commotion in Hogsmeade?" Of course Snape had heard about what happened in Hogsmeade.

"Yes, it's not suitable to continue messing around there," said Yaxley seriously.

"I'm fine, but will that really work?" Snape was very dissatisfied with Yaxley's decision, "I mean, I'm afraid this can only solve the problem temporarily."

"There will always be problems, and I never expect to be able to completely solve them."

Yaxley knew very well that he had to solve the Hogsmeade problem before the Dark Lord returned to England, especially for four or five Death Eaters who died in one breath. He had to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise he should Bad luck.
