Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 75: Millison Barnold

This is not just a case of theft!

Polyjuice Potion is a very powerful potion. He can make a person completely change into another person's whole body within a certain period of time; moreover, such a change is completely unrecognizable to the naked eye and ordinary magic.

Considering the previous attacks on Hogwarts, this is undoubtedly a big deal.

Draco Malfoy stood there in a daze. He still didn't know what Compound Potion was.

However, Professor Horace Slughorn's face turned pale with fright... What he is thinking about now is not just the loss of two medicinal materials, but the loss caused by it.

"I have to talk to Principal Rozier, such important news..." Slughorn murmured.

Just as he got out of the potion storage room, he quickly turned around again——

"Matthew, Draco, come with me to find Professor Rozier!" He said very quickly, "Be a witness for me."

Matthew and Malfoy looked at each other, and finally had to follow.

……

In fact, Matthew Wakefield doesn't quite understand why he often encounters these little troubles in his "after-school practice" courses.

However, more and more information began to converge in his mind... The truth of all the events that happened this semester seems to have become extremely clear.

Since it is Saturday morning, there are not many students in the hallway. They easily came to the second floor and came to the office of Vice President Professor Vita Rozier—

The door of the vice principal's office was ajar.

Slughorn started to go straight in, but stopped less than a yard away from the wooden door... Matthew and Malfoy had to stop there too.

At the same time, they heard the sound of two people talking in the office.

It was two women, one of whom was undoubtedly Headmaster Rozier, and the other had a slightly unfamiliar voice, at least Matthew had never heard this voice in Hogwarts before.

"It's too bad, Vita... so bad that I had to contact you!" said the strange female voice.

"It's Barnold!" Malfoy moved closer to Matthew's ear and whispered, "I recognize this voice, it's Millicent Barnold..."

Millicent Barnold, current Minister of Magic. Since taking over the position of minister in 1980, he has been widely acclaimed in the magic world...

Matthew had seen this name and her photos in the "Daily Prophet" before. Of course, it was rumored that the relationship between Minister Barnold and the Hogwarts vice-headmaster was very good.

"I hope you understand, Millicent." Professor Rozier's voice could even imagine her frowning at this moment: "Hogwarts is still safe now!"

"Of course I believe that." Minister Barnold replied: "I believe in you, Vita, and of course Principal Grindelwald...but the Ministry of Magic is already under great pressure at this time."

"This pressure won't last for too long..." Professor Rozier said softly.

"I'm sorry, but it's hard for us to hold on anymore." The minister said, "Three students have been attacked one after another, and one of them is still alive and dead... After a Christmas holiday, this kind of thing has been spread. All over the wizarding world... The editors of the Daily Prophet have done their best, but there are still countless owls flying to them every day, questioning why the Ministry of Magic has not made these things public... Honestly, Weta, now even I have some doubts..."

"We have our own reasons," said the vice-principal.

"I believe, of course I believe..." the minister continued:

"But look, here's another incident, another kid is missing; I don't think you've found him... Honestly, Vita, I don't believe you, but the facts are now Right now! Think about it from my perspective, I am under a lot of pressure now, I have to do something..."

"What are you going to do?" the vice-principal continued.

"This matter can no longer be suppressed, I must at least give the public an explanation... At least there must be an explanation..." The minister begged:

"Vita, I know that there is a teacher in your school. The existing evidence is very unfavorable to him, so I hope to take him away...to Azkaban! If it turns out that he did not do it, we will Will apologize and send him back, and the public won't be able to say anything!"

"If you really can't suppress these attacks, then don't suppress them anymore." The vice principal said coldly:

"But taking a teacher away from Hogwarts~IndoMTL.com~ I can't make the decision. You might as well contact Lord Grindelwald directly!"

Then only a strange voice was heard, as if the conversation had been forcibly cut off.

……

Slughorn just walked over and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in!" Professor Rozier's voice sounded from the office.

Matthew followed Slughorn and Malfoy into the vice-principal's office... He saw Professor Rozier returning quickly to her chair from the fireplace.

Minister Millicent Barnold was nowhere to be seen in the entire office; I am afraid that this minister just had that conversation with the vice-headmaster of Hogwarts in the fireplace.

Of course, neither Slughorn, Malfoy, nor Matthew pretended to be completely ignorant of the previous conversation.

"Professor Rozier." Slughorn said loudly, "My private storage room has been stolen!"

"What's missing?" Professor Rozier asked calmly.

"Two very precious medicinal materials." Slughorn said hastily, "A horn of a bicorn, and the skin of an African tree snake... the loss is close to four hundred Galleons!"

"And more importantly..." Slughorn's voice gradually became weaker: "These two medicinal materials are the core materials for making compound soup...Principal Rozier, there are people in Hogg Watts attempted to illegally and secretly make Polyjuice Potion."

However, Professor Rozier's complexion did not change much.

She just nodded calmly: "Okay, Horace, I understand."

Then, she unceremoniously issued an order to expel the guest.

During the whole time, she didn't even look at Matthew and Malfoy.
