Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 754: Notify
Chapter 755 Inform
After the sky brightened, the Gryffindor students in the common room finally waited for the news, and Professor McGonagall, with a tired face, regretted to tell everyone that Black escaped again.
Professor McGonagall just turned around and left the common room when Shanna took a few quick steps and followed Professor McGonagall through the portrait passage, apparently wanting to say something to Professor McGonagall.
Seeing this scene, Fred, George and Lee Jordan looked at each other, shrugged and went back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep. It was easy for them to guess that Shanna wanted to tell Professor McGonagall what they had just guessed. .
As for the result, the three have already guessed it.
The students who were holding their breath and waiting for news were all sleepy and went back to their dormitories to rest. The common room suddenly became empty.
Soon after, Shanna returned to the common room, but just by looking at the expressions on each other's faces, it was obvious that Professor McGonagall didn't like these self-righteous "speculations", not to mention that they also suspected that there were Black's in the school. helper.
"You're right, Professor McGonagall doesn't want to believe these speculations."
noticed the questioning glances from others, Shanna said helplessly: "However, she agrees with the guess that Blake slipped into the castle through the secret passage."
There are so many secret passages in the castle that even Filch has no way of knowing their locations. Maybe Blake discovered a secret passage leading to the outer layer of the castle when he was studying at school.
"They are all adults, and they are more willing to trust their own judgments, rather than listening to a minor point fingers, especially when there is no evidence, don't expect to be able to control other people's thoughts, this is ridiculous." Albert relentlessly pointed out, "To be honest, what you just did was quite irrational."
"Actually, I prefer to trust your judgment. To a certain extent, you see things more thoroughly than most so-called smart people." Shanna said after a moment of silence: "If anyone can catch Blake, I bet it's you, not a professor at Hogwarts or an Auror at the Ministry of Magic."
"You are very confident in me." Albert was a little surprised.
"After all, you prophesy, don't you?" Shanna said rightfully.
"Actually, I think Dumbledore should ask you for help, so they don't have to mess around there." Arya is also very confident in Albert, she didn't forget that last year was Albert Te discovered that the murderer who attacked the Muggle wizard was the head basilisk, and used this to lead to the heir of Slytherin.
"My prophecy fee is very expensive." Albert smiled.
"If you can catch Blake, you can get 10,000 Galleons in one go." Shanna pointed to the bounty on Blake in the newspaper, "This is worth your countless predictions."
"No, at least I can get the prophecy fee as soon as possible." Albert looked at the bounty list in the Daily Prophet and said meaningfully, "As for Black's bounty, can I get it in the end? Two more words."
"Okay, let's go back to rest first. I'm tired after a night of sleepless nights. If you find anything new, please let us know." Angelina stretched out her hand to cover her yawn and greeted the others to go back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep.
Black's invasion undoubtedly shocked Hogwarts, and the group of Dementors who tried to help search the castle were once again blocked from the school gates by Dumbledore with his wand.
The dementors are all annoyed at this, but there's nothing they can do about it.
Ultimately, the Ministry of Magic can only influence the school through the Board of Trustees, so...the castle security at Hogwarts is further enhanced.
First of all, Sir Cadogan was sacked, much to the relief of the majority of Gryffindor students. The incompetent gatekeeper was put back to the original eighth floor landing, and he was extremely indignant and aggrieved. Sir Cadogan just followed the rules and the whole thing was not his fault.
In order to get the Fat Lady back to work, Dumbledore agreed to hire some people to keep her safe, just as he had just received a notice from the school board. So there were more rude gnomes in the corridor leading to the Gryffindor common room.
These guys aren't really good security guards, at least in Albert's eyes, they just walk the hallways at a menacing pace, mumbling and comparing sticks to each other The size of the stick, or beat the head of the partner next to him with a stick, to find out whether the stick is strong or the truth is that the head is strong.
Oh my God!
I don't know where I thought it was from.
"I doubt they're up to the job, it's really hard to imagine that Professor Dumbledore would be willing to pay to use them to enhance security."
After Professor Flitwick took Black's wanted list and identified each of the security guards guarding the front door, Albert walked over to talk to Professor Flitwick about the incident.
"This is a security guard hired by the school board. The magic part doesn't have Aurors stationed at Hogwarts, that's the only way to do it." Professor Flitwick said as he walked, "However, I think they have clubs in their hands. Should be more than enough for Sirius Black without a wand."
As the two passed the corner of a corridor, they saw Filch trying to nail the rat hole in the wall with a plank.
"Honestly, I doubt Black's target is Harry Potter," Albert said to Professor Flitwick, "otherwise, Ron Weasley would have died last night, along with their dorm roommates. Harry Potter and several other students would also be killed, and with Blake's ferocity, I don't think he'd spare a bunch of sleeping kids, plus one of them was the target of hatred he'd dreamed of killing."
"There are indeed a lot of doubts. Maybe we need to catch Black before we have a chance to find out the reason." Professor Flitwick reminded kindly: "However, catching Black is the job of the Aurors."
"The Ministry of Magic has always been unreliable, like letting Dementors into Hogwarts." Albert mumbled, "Sorry, I've never been a fan of Dementors."
"No one likes those things." Professor Flitwick stopped and said to Albert, "If you predict something, you can tell me or Dumbledore what you predicted."
"I foretold Black's capture, sir." Albert said after a moment's hesitation, "Just one night I saw from the crystal ball that I had Sirius Black's capture, but the Ministry seemed to Going to default, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge is unwilling to give me Black's bounty."
"This..."
Professor Flitwick's expression was a little stunned, I didn't expect Albert to say such a thing.
"You caught Black?" he asked tentatively.
"This is just a prophecy professor, and there may still be changes in the future." Albert said quietly, "Honestly, I want to know what the credibility of the Ministry of Magic is."
"If you do catch Black, I don't think the Ministry of Magic will default." Professor Flitwick said after a moment of silence, "If you want to see Professor Dumbledore..."
"Professor Dumbledore should be very busy now, I think it's best not to bother him with good things." Albert shook his head, "Also, prophecy is such a thing, maybe you can say it twice."
Professor Flitwick looked at the back of Albert leaving, and walked quickly towards the headmaster's office. When he knocked on the door to enter, Headmaster Dumbledore was writing a letter in the office.
"Felius, is something wrong?" Dumbledore asked, looking up.
"I just met Mr. Anderson and he said..." Professor Flitwick told Dumbledore what had happened.
"Mr Anderson is suspicious of the credibility of the Ministry of Magic," Dumbledore asked with interest.
"Yes, he seems to be very upset with the Ministry of Magic's default." Professor Flitwick asked suspiciously, "I thought you'd be more concerned about him getting Black, though."
"Under what circumstances would the Ministry of Magic default on its bills." Dumbledore put down his quill. "What do you think Mr. Anderson wants to tell us?"
"Black might be innocent?" Professor Flitwick felt incredible~IndoMTL.com~ Yes, if Black was innocent, I think the Ministry of Magic would have rescinded Black's bounty for what I did to Fudge. Understand, he is definitely unwilling to pay this Galleon, so naturally he defaults on it. ' Dumbledore speculated.
"But why wouldn't Mr. Anderson come and tell you this in person?" Professor Flitwick was puzzled. "And how could Black be innocent."
"In those days, Sirius Black was imprisoned in Azkaban prison without trial." A light flashed on Dumbledore's spectacles, "So, we don't really know what the specific situation is. ."
"But why did he break into Hogwarts so late?" Professor Flitwick added, "He clearly intended to murder..."
"Harry and his roommate were not injured, I think Mr. Anderson guessed something." Dumbledore crossed his hands and said calmly: "However, he probably knows that we prefer to believe our own guesses. Stuff. Mr. Anderson is a very smart man, he understands what it means if Black is really innocent, so he's giving us a heads up in advance, and... he's clearly disgusted by the Ministry of Magic's default here."
