A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

The phoenix on Dumbledore's shoulder screamed.

"Go and stare at Harry, you don't have to show up." He said, Fox spread his wings and flew into the air, disappearing abruptly.

"What a strange creature," Felix said admiringly, "I can't help but get close."

Dumbledore glanced at him. "Hagrid is very happy recently. He told me that an old friend came to stay temporarily. Do you know the reason, Felix?"

Felix said to him, "I don't know, the principal... I haven't been in touch recently."

Soon, the deans and professors of the four colleges arrived, and Professor McGonagall briefly spoke about the situation.

Snape was taken aback. "Blake! Still so stupid... how did he break through the dementor's defense?"

Felix said quietly, "Severus, he can escape from Azkaban, and he cares about a few dementors? If you want me to say, this thing is disgusting, it's useless."

At present, the dementors are not present in the school grounds. The only way for students to see the dementors is to cross Hagrid’s hut and after walking through a long ramp to see the two guarding the main entrance of the school. only.

But if you reduce Hogwarts to a certain proportion, you will find a large number of dementors gathered on the edge of Hogwarts, including the wizard village next to the school-Hogsmeade.

This is why Felix believes that Luna’s behavior is not safe. No one can guarantee that a dementor will suddenly jump out. Although the Ministry of Magic will definitely draw out the patrol, it is a young and emotional student. , For the Dementor, it's no different than a big meal.

This is why Dumbledore strongly opposed them entering the school. In his opinion, the Ministry of Magic could not control the Dementors at all. But he also had to make certain compromises to allow them to appear outside the school.

Snape calmed down and said implicitly to Dumbledore: "Principal Dumbledore, the newspaper said the day before yesterday that he found traces of Blake in Diagon Alley, and he appeared outside the castle today, as if—in my It seems that no one can help him to do this."

The professor present looked at Snape in surprise, and Flitwick yelled sharply: "You mean Black summoned some of the Death Eaters?"

Snape was stunned. He didn't mean that...

The professors talked a lot, and they accepted Snape's'idea' almost instantly, or that this was a reasonable guess.

The newspapers have already boasted Black as "the first Death Eater under the mysterious man." With this label, it is strange that no helper can be found.

"With his prestige..."

"Maybe this is the case. We thought Blake was just a person, but maybe he has gathered a lot of dark wizards."

Lupin, who had been silent, suddenly said: "I don't think so, Sirius--" He froze for a second or two, "Blake is just an undercover agent. I think even in the circle of Death Eaters, his Few people know their identity."

"Lupin, can I understand that you are defending your best friend?" Snape pointed the finger at Lupin, and he deliberately increased the voice of the word "best friend".

"No, Snape." Lupin said calmly. "It's just a simple analysis." He looked at Dumbledore. "Perhaps he will be warmly welcomed and sought after when he returns to the Death Eater as an undercover agent. But the problem is that he failed. His intelligence directly led to the disappearance of the mysterious man. Will any Death Eaters believe him?"

"Principal, based on what I know about him, Blake is absolutely alone, maybe...maybe to prove himself, just like when he was in school, or in the age of war-every time he fights, he is in the forefront. "Lu Ping concluded depressedly: "He likes taking risks and being a lonely hero."

Snape's eyes were cold, but he didn't speak any more, and shrank himself in the darkness in the corner without saying a word.

A professor put forward his own opinion: "Without the help of the Death Eaters, how did he traverse hundreds of kilometers in two days? Many people tried to catch his clues. This time, the Ministry of Magic paid a lot of money. Gold is not low."

"There are too many possibilities, Floo fans, door keys, flying broomsticks..."

"But they will leave traces, and Black will never expose them!"

"Will it be Apparition, some wizards can use it without a wand."

Flitwick is the authority on the spell. He rejected this speculation: "In theory, Apparition does not require a wand, but in reality few people can do it. It is much more difficult than you think, and it is very prone to accidents. Besides, there are many restrictions on Apparition, unless...unless he gets a magic wand!"

"How can it be?"

"Steal, steal, as long as the opportunity is right, nothing is impossible."

Dumbledore interrupted the discussion. "Everyone, let's search the castle first to make sure nothing goes wrong."

In the end, all the faculty members spent a short midnight until it got light, and no problems were found.

The professors dispersed, and Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Snape and Felix got together again. Professor McGonagall was to report the latest developments, and Snape obviously had something to say. And Felix, there is a small question that needs Dumbledore to answer.

Professor McGonagall said: "I have confirmed the fat lady with the portrait of Black, and she will never admit it wrong."

"Very well, Minerva," Dumbledore said. "It's best to let all the portraits in the castle remember Blake's appearance, I mean... those portraits that can be communicated."

Professor McGonagall nodded, Snape whispered, and Dumbledore turned to look at him: "Severus, you seem to have something to say?"

There was no emotion in Snape's words: "Dumbledore, I think we are doing useless work. Before school starts, we discussed—" He raised his head, his eyes cast from the hook nose, "As long as there is more in the castle Hidden dangers, Black will always find opportunities."

Professor McGonagall said sternly: "You mean someone at Hogwarts whispered? It's impossible! Impossible, Severus."

Dumbledore said firmly: "What happened today just proved that there is no helper for Blake in the school."

"That's not necessarily ~www.readwn.com~Principal," Snape said in a low voice, and he quickly said, "Maybe the inner ghost just doesn't know that there is a speculum specifically aimed at Blake, in fact," he gave a mocking expression. , "I was kept in the dark too, didn't I?"

Felix knew who he was talking about, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black’s best friend when he was in school, a few hours ago, Snape deliberately led the crowd to suspicion him, but he was caught by Flitwick. Too wrong...

It seemed that Dumbledore had warned him not to let him reveal Lupin’s identity as a werewolf, otherwise the professor and the parents of the students would definitely fry the pot. In the war years, the werewolf was once an important dark force of Voldemort.

...

When McGonagall and Snape left, Felix raised his own question.

"You want to know how the dementors breed?" Dumbledore repeated the question he heard.

"Yes, as far as I know, there are not many dementors, about a hundred? The information I came across when I was in school showed that their numbers have not changed much in the past 100 years." Felix asked .
