I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 93 Chess Pieces
At this moment, the office door slammed loudly and was pushed open.Hagrid rushed in, eyes blazing, a helmet hat atop his dark, unkempt head, a dead rooster dangling from his hand.Obviously, he rushed over as soon as he got the news.

"Not Harry, Professor Dumbledore," said Hagrid eagerly. "I was talking to the kid just seconds before he was found. He has absolutely no time for that, sir... .”

Dumbledore wanted to say something, but Hagrid just yelled and waved his rooster anxiously, scattering its feathers everywhere.In order not to be affected, Orlando had to move away from him.

Harry was not so lucky, he stood there not knowing how to speak, his face and head were covered with chicken feathers.

"...it can't be him, I can swear in front of the Ministry of Magic if need be..."

"Hagrid, I—" Harry was so touched by this, he mustered up the courage to say something, but he didn't say anything.

"...you've got the wrong man, sir, and I know Harry never—"

"Hagrid," said Dumbledore, raising his voice, "I don't think Harry attacked those people."

"Oh." As if realizing that he had wronged the good guy, Hagrid's voice suddenly softened, and the cock limply fell on his side, "Okay, I'll wait outside for orders, Headmaster."

He stomped out, looking embarrassed.

Orlando took out his wand and waved it lightly, "Clean and new."

Soon the chicken feathers all disappeared without a trace.

"Very good ability to control magic, Orlando." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Harry, you are really lucky to have such a friend. I hope your friendship will last forever."

"Yes, Professor, Orlando has helped me a lot, and I am very grateful to him." Harry said sincerely.

"It's my luck to be friends with you, Harry." Orlando replied, then looked at Dumbledore, and continued: "Harry is in some trouble this time, and obviously someone is targeting him again."

"I'm also thinking about this question, Orlando. Although I only have some clues at the moment, it is clear that your judgment is correct." Dumbledore tapped his index finger on the table and said slowly, "Before that, Harry, I have to ask I ask you, is there anything you would like to tell me, anything."

Harry hesitated, but out of trust in Dumbledore he told him all the strange things that had happened to him, including the thing about the ghost's voice he had heard twice.

After listening to Harry's narration, Dumbledore was silent for a while, and Harry began to feel uneasy again. He suddenly remembered what Ron said - "It's not a good sign to hear voices that others can't hear, even in magic It's the same in the world." He was becoming more and more concerned that Dumbledore would believe that he had something to do with Salazar Slytherin.

"Professor, you won't believe that I really did it, will you?" Harry's hands gripping his trouser legs turned a little white.

Dumbledore, who came back to his senses, smiled, his smile was full of tranquility.

"No, Harry, I don't think so. But what you said is a very important clue. I have an immature idea, although it is a bit risky." The expression on his face became serious again when he said this, "I need to put this Find out who is behind the scenes, but you can't startle the snake."

"What do you mean? Use me as bait?"

"Yes, you can understand it this way. I need you and your friends to work together. Of course, the premise is to protect your own safety." Dumbledore pushed his glasses, staring into Harry's eyes and said.

"Can I do it?"

"You can, Harry, you are a Parseltongue. This is your advantage. I need you to discover it and find the man behind it. This is the first problem we need to solve. You are willing to take on this difficult task Is it?" When Dumbledore said this, he looked at Orlando intentionally or unintentionally.

Orlando knew very well that Dumbledore had said so much before to pave the way for this matter. This request was not so much told to Harry as to him.

"I can do it, professor, I am willing to take on this task." Harry swept away his previous anxiety and confusion, and said with high spirits.

"Very well, Harry, I did not misread you. You have fearless courage, which is very similar to your father." Dumbledore said with emotion, and then looked at Orlando, "As Harry's friend, Orlando, I hope you can protect him a little bit at critical times, and I hope you can understand my good intentions."

"Professor, I am also a member of Hogwarts. I agree with you. You don't need to worry about this." Regarding this kind of old fox, even though Orlando knew it was a routine and was using him as a pawn, he still couldn't help it. do not accept.

"Very well, looking forward to your good news."

Coming out of the headmaster's office, Harry was visibly relieved. The expected detention, wand being broken and expelled from school did not happen, which made him feel relieved.

"Orlando, what should we do next?"

"Cold salad!" Orlando said angrily, the feeling of being calculated made him very uncomfortable, even if the person who calculated him was Dumbledore.

Harry stroked his bewildered hair, and followed behind Orlando. He was fine just now, so why did he turn his back on him?

Justin and Nearly Headless Nick are both attacked, turning an already tense atmosphere into genuine panic.

Oddly enough, the thing that scares people the most is what happened to Nearly Headless Nick.

What could do such a thing to a ghost, people asked each other.What terrible force can harm a man who is dead?

Students were almost scrambling to book seats on the Hogwarts Express in anticipation of being home for Christmas.

"Then it's just us at school," Ron said to Orlando. "The four of us, and Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. What a fun holiday it's going to be."

"Correct, Ron, it's you two, I'm taking Hermione to see my teacher, Nicole Flamel."

Hermione blushed. Although Orlando had told her about this matter a few days ago, and now it was only announced in advance, she still felt sweet and shy in her heart.

"Ah, no way, Orlando, did you promise Dumbledore to help me?" Harry jumped off the high chair all of a sudden.

"That's right, I made the compound potion for you, do you expect me to do everything for you?" Orlando rolled his eyes. He came to Hogwarts to learn skills, not to be a pawn The nanny said, "Besides, Dumbledore intends to hone your abilities, and I think it would be counterproductive for me to get too involved."

Harry looked at him suspiciously, and an inner voice told him that Orlando just wanted to be lazy.

"Well, I think there should be no problem with the invisibility talisman." After thinking about it, Harry finally decided to handle it by himself.

"Harry, can you do it?" Ron asked worriedly.

"Isn't this still yours? The two of us can do it together."

"I, you..." Ron stuttered all of a sudden. He thought that with Orlando around, he would not be afraid to face Crabbe and Goyle, but now it was him and Harry, saying To be honest, he didn't think they could take advantage of anything.
