Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 512: I have a bold idea
,!
The Wizarding Charity Association founded by the Wallop family was extremely efficient under Lupine's management. Even though it was already midnight, it didn't take long for the information Sean needed to be on the table.
"All the statistics have been completed. Except for the two team members who were performing missions outside in time and did not send back information in time, the other information has been counted and checked. According to the original task distribution, the enrollment situation of the two outsiders is not much different from that of the rest. The data should fluctuate within the range of five students," Lu Ping said.
"Thank you, Remus."
Sean thanked him and quickly read the statistics.
After a while, he frowned, sure enough there was a problem.
According to the information he got from Durmstrang's students, Durmstrang currently has only about sixty first and second graders in total, but according to the information he obtained from his own statistics, Durmstrang snatched more than forty students from Hogwarts' student population just because of the emergency recruitment in the year of the time disappearing accident.
This is just one year of recruitment, plus some pure-blood families who must go to school in Durmstrang, that is to say, Durmstrang currently has at least fifty second-year students.
Even if Sean was in the way in the second year, it was impossible for Durmstrang to recruit only ten freshmen. According to other statistics, Durmstrang should have at least thirty first-year freshmen.
In other words, at least 20 to 30 of Durmstrang's freshmen in the first and second grades were missing, and they didn't show up in the classroom where they were supposed to be.
"What happened?" Seeing Sean's serious expression, Lupine's voice became tense.
Shawn shook his head and told Lupine about the matter.
The always good-tempered Mr. Werewolf was shocked, and then his anger surged.
"How dare they do such a thing to the future of the wizarding world! This is a disgrace to the world! My God, my God, what are they going to do? Are they conducting some kind of terrible magic experiment on children?!"
Sean said in a low voice: "Durmstrang's real purpose is not clear yet, I have to find a way to rescue the imprisoned students on the Durmstrang ship."
Lupine calmed down his anger with difficulty. He frowned and said, "But if a request is made to search the big ship, the little wizards will definitely be transferred quickly. If they break into it in the middle of the night, the result will be the same, and we have to consider, even if we find a way to rescue the group of little wizards on board, whether those little wizards who are still in Durmstrang Castle will encounter... bad results..."
Shawn frowned: "This is exactly what I was worried about, so I hurried to find you to confirm the situation, but I didn't expect that there would be so many little wizards who were illegally imprisoned..."
"Professor Dumbledore must be informed about this matter." Lupine said immediately.
Shawn nodded: "I'll have someone inform Professor McGonagall first. Professor Dumbledore is not in Hogwarts Castle for the time being. The trouble is, Mr. Grindelwald is not easy to contact at the moment."
Lupine paced back and forth in the office: "Now the Ministry of Magic has been corrupted by people, and it is not trustworthy at all... Sean, why don't I inform other trustworthy people, such as James, such as Wes's family, this is not a small matter that can be handled by two or three people, we need more allies."
Sean nodded after thinking for a moment: "Okay, inform the trustworthy people, I have a hunch that it may not be long before we are going to face Durmstrang's people head-on."
"Okay." After speaking, Lupine left quickly.
Sean didn't stay any longer, sprinkled Floo powder and returned to Nurmengard, and returned to Hogwarts through the disappearing cabinet again.
Looking at the time, it was estimated that it was almost time for Edmund to notify, so Sean directly opened the wooden door of the Room of Requirement on the stone wall in Professor McGonagall's office.
"Sean!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed when she saw the wooden door suddenly appearing and Sean behind the door, but she just looked at him in surprise and walked into the wooden door without asking further questions.
After a while, several professors from Hogwarts gathered in the Room of Requirement.
After explaining the situation he had found out in detail, the professors all stared wide-eyed, and then there were angry accusations, and Professor Flitwick even jumped on the table and cursed at Durmstrang.
Only Snape, who kept a gloomy face, waited until the anger of the professors calmed down a bit, and said coldly: "This matter is not easy to handle, and Dumbledore must be notified."
Professor McGonagall's bun is messed up, she helped her crooked glasses, frowned and said: "I will inform him, the first task now is to save those poor children——God, it's a shame that Hogwarts is competing with a school of criminals like Durmstrang!"
Shawn said: "On the one hand, we need to find a reasonable reason to enter the big ship without alarming the other party, and then not give the other party a chance to use the Portkey to teleport away, so as to rescue those children. On the other hand, we must also consider those little wizards left behind in Durmstrang Castle, after all..."
Seeing Sean's solemn expression, and the expressions of the professors are not very good-looking, obviously, everyone has thought of something.
If the people of Durmstrang find that things have been exposed and there is no chance of redemption, then the children who were not rescued by them are likely to face a very dire situation.
Shawn took a deep breath, and then continued: "In addition, we must consider how many insiders there are in Durmstrang."
"At present, I can confirm that most of the students should not know about it. They only know that there are suddenly more forbidden areas in their school, that is to say, they are actually innocent. That guy Karkaroff must be an accomplice of the criminal, and it is impossible to determine how many people in the professor have already joined forces."
Snape snorted coldly, he scanned the other people slowly, and then said: "Everyone here should know...the existence of the Returner..."
The rest of the professors looked at each other. Obviously, they had already learned about the existence of the returnee, and it seemed that someone had revealed it to them.
Sean probably also hinted at Dumbledore. Although he has an unbreakable oath, it is not difficult to only reveal the news of the returnee, and all the professors present are powerful and trustworthy.
Snape continued to speak slowly: "This obviously has something to do with the returners... To be honest, I don't understand why this Goblet of Fire is held, and Durmstrang is competing on the same stage. In my opinion, this is tantamount to letting the other party infiltrate our school."
Professor McGonagall frowned and said: "It's not long before we know about the returnees, and since Albus agreed to hold the Goblet of Fire as usual, there must be his intentions—besides, most of Durmstrang's children are innocent."
"But this is tantamount to ushering wolves into the house. We don't even know how many **** there are in Durmstrang. Our warriors were even attacked during the game!" When he said this, Snape looked extremely angry.
Obviously, he has never let go of the fact that Daisy was conspired and attacked at the bottom of the Black Lake.
Professor Sprout, the Head of Hufflepuff, who has been silent all this time, also said: "It's really troublesome. Now even when we get together to discuss this matter, we still have to rely on Sean—but, boy, how did you find out about this Hogwarts secret? Oh, it's amazing."
"Fortunately, Sean found out, and he is not the kind of abusive person." Professor McGonagall added.
"But we still need to discuss a suitable countermeasure." Sean said.
Several professors fell into silence. After a while, Professor Flitwick said: "Can you set up an additional magic barrier to prevent the transmission of the portkeys? Combined with the magic restriction that exists in Hogwarts itself, I think it should be able to prevent the transmission of those weird portkeys that Sean mentioned."
"But setting up an enchantment of this level is not something that can be done with a wave of a magic wand. I'm afraid we need to ask Babling for help—" Professor McGonagall said with a frown. "With the ancient runes, it should be possible to do this, but the problem is that there will be a lot of time and movement. During this period, it is easy to be discovered by the other party. Moreover, as Sean said just now, even if we rescued the imprisoned children on the big ship, what should we do with the poor children in Durmstrang Castle?"
Professor Sprout also sighed and said: "And the Ministry of Magic is not trustworthy now. The Ministry should have a lot of people who can help and magic props that can work."
For a while, the countermeasures discussed were deadlocked.
Then Sean raised his hand.
"Sean?"
Looking at the handsome boy in front of them, the professors suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
"I do have a bold idea..." Sean said after deliberation.
"Sean, tell me, young people are always more creative than old people like us." Newt said, frowning tightly, without opening his mouth.
Sean first asked a question: "Professors, do you know the composition of Durmstrang?"
Professor McGonagall thought for a while and said: "The schools don't know much about each other, but the personnel composition of each school is almost the same. Considering that the number of students in Durmstrang has been decreasing in recent decades, the number of their teaching staff should be a little less than that of Hogwarts. The elves can communicate with each other, and I can ask Polis to find out."
Snape added a sentence next to it: "But we must consider the existence of the Returners. Although Durmstrang is not the headquarters of the Returners, there must be many members of the Returners there."
Shawn thought for a moment: "Then temporarily speculate that the number of the other party is slightly larger than the number of Hogwarts faculty members, and some additional uncertain factors must be taken into account. After all, they may have mastered some kind of dark magic power."
"Sean, what exactly do you want to say?" Professor Flitwick asked impatiently.
Shawn stood up: "What we have been thinking about is how to save the little wizard on the big ship while ensuring the safety of the little wizard in Durmstrang Castle. The two are in conflict, because no matter whether the little wizard on the big ship is rescued or not, the people staying behind in Durmstrang Castle will definitely get the news when we act—unless we can divide our troops into two groups, one group to deal with the big ship, and one group to sneak into Durmstrang."
Newt stroked his chin and said, "But it's unrealistic. Durmstrang is a prestigious magic school with a long history after all, and it's very difficult to infiltrate. We have to send people to Hogwarts, so that's even more unrealistic."
Shawn nodded: "That's right, that's what I want to say. It's simply unrealistic to divide the army into two groups, grab both hands, and rescue both sides."
Professor McGonagall opened his mouth wide, and quickly showed a dejected expression: "But those are innocent children. They may be suffering from inhuman torture and terrible magic experiments...Although I may not say that, but as a teacher, seeing innocent students suffer from these things, even if they are not my students, I really can't stand by..."
"No, professor, you misunderstood me." Sean said softly.
The rest of the people looked over together.
Sean spread his hands: "Why do we have to split into two groups? We can rescue those children together."
Snape's eyes narrowed: "Are you going to..."
Shawn nodded: "That's right ~IndoMTL.com~ When Durmstrang's big ship returns to Durmstrang's castle, the little wizards on board will definitely be transferred back, and the two batches will naturally join together to form one batch. At that time, we can rescue them together without worrying about the safety of the rest."
Professor McGonagall's eyes widened suddenly: "Sean, you mean?"
"It may sound unrealistic, but I think this is the best way——" Sean licked his lips, "Let's gather our forces and attack Durmstrang's castle directly."
Shawn's bold plan made the professors look at each other in dismay, and then another idea emerged.
It seems that Sean's method is indeed the best choice?
Professor Flitwick was pacing back and forth on the table while saying, "Crazy, crazy, you actually want to attack a famous magic school that has been around for hundreds of years."
After he stopped, he said, "We don't know Durmstrang's exact location and defense methods, and we probably don't have enough manpower to fight in the opponent's home court. If we want to break through the gate of a school, we need at least three times as many wizards as the opponent's defense."
Sean blinked: "How to get into Durmstrang, I have a way, manpower, I also have some immature little ways..."
