Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 916 The principal changes again, Harry skips school

While Professor McGonagall used the Imperius Curse to control the Death Eater, Kyle happened to be attracted by Fawkes' perch opposite and turned around.

This perch is so beautiful. It looks like fine rosewood at first glance, and there are circles of golden lines wrapped around it. It seems to be anti-slip, or it may be decoration, but Kyle can be sure that those are real gold. ...He is indeed Dumbledore, he is rich.

It's just that he probably won't need these now. After all, even the phoenix has escaped into his box. It's useless to leave a perch here. Otherwise, he can help deal with it himself and save Professor McGonagall's time here. Location?

Kyle thought to himself, turning a blind eye to the voices of the portraits around him.

Minerva McGonagall used the Imperius Curse... He must have heard wrongly, or Principal Armando Dippet had drunk too much and was talking nonsense there.

He remembered the Fat Madam’s good friend, Violet, who liked drinking and making wine. A wooden barrel filled with wine could often be seen in her portraits. The two of them would occasionally get drunk in the middle of the night, which made him Those Gryffindor students who went out at night were miserable.

Sometimes I just go to the kitchen to get some midnight snacks, but when I come back I find the fat lady lying there unconscious and unable to wake up.

They couldn't enter the common room until the Fat Lady woke up. They could only squat at the door of the common room and tremble with food brought from the kitchen.

With any luck, the Fat Lady will wake up in a daze after an hour or two, and people from outside will be able to go in. But in most cases, they will at least risk being discovered by Filch and squat at the door. Early morning.

It can be seen that the wine Violet made is still very strong.

But the problem is that her portrait must be fake.

Dumbledore and Principal Dippet probably drank her fake wine and started talking nonsense with their eyes open.

How could the Headmaster of Hogwarts use the Unforgivable Curse in the Headmaster's Office? Absolutely impossible.

Kyle continued to stare at the perch, his neck as if it had been made of steel, with no intention of turning at all.

Until there was no more sound coming from the ceiling overhead.

"Kyle, you..."

"Ah, I just remembered that the vegetable patch in the garden hasn't been watered yet."

Kyle slapped his forehead, and before Professor McGonagall could say anything else, he took the lead and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. See you Principal McGonagall!"

He walked forward without looking back. When he passed Qizhi, he picked it up, opened the door, and strode out of the principal's office.

As for what Professor McGonagall wanted to do, Kyle didn't ask much. He would know sooner or later anyway.

After walking through the castle and grounds, Kyle made his way back to the garden of the cabin.

He subconsciously glanced at a small stool by the door. Dumbledore always liked to sit on this stool when he was hiding here.

But now the stool is empty. Dumbledore still hasn't come back. Since the funeral, he has disappeared completely.

Kyle didn't know where he had gone or what he was doing right now, but he probably had something to do with Voldemort.

However, after such a long time, Hagrid felt a lot more energetic, and his figure appeared in the garden again.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, Hagrid, who was trying to seek comfort from the Hungarian Horntail, was whipped back several steps by his tail and hit a tree hard.

"Oh...it's so naughty." Hagrid groaned and limped towards Kyle. "I seem to see Graup from two years ago in it."

"Hagrid, I think there is a difference between a fire dragon and a giant... at least there are no spikes on the giant's fists." Kyle glanced at Hagrid's bleeding thigh, "I suggest you apply some white essence quickly. ”

"Ah, it doesn't matter." Hagrid said, casually tearing off a piece of cloth from his clothes and tying it to the wound. "It must know that I need some appropriate pain now. It's so considerate, isn't it?"

Kyle laughed dryly and did not express any opinion on Hagrid's behavior of licking the dragon.

That's it, as long as he's happy.

…

The next day, there was an announcement in the foyer of Hogwarts that no one expected.

The principal has changed again.

Professor McGonagall, who had just assumed the post of principal not long ago, became the vice principal again, and Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Severus Snape officially became the principal.

This... principal, you come and go, how about playing?

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they thought it was a prank posted by a student who was bored.

It wasn't until Professor McGonagall announced it in public again during dinner that everyone had no choice but to believe it.

The Slytherin long table seemed to be having a second Christmas, it was very lively and everyone was celebrating.

But Snape himself, like most students, was confused and had no idea what was going on.

Snape didn't even go to the Great Hall to eat in the morning or noon, which meant that he never saw the announcement at all and learned about it later than others.

From Snape's point of view, he just went to class as usual, why did he suddenly become the headmaster.

No wonder those people looked at him with such strange expressions during class, and some people always said some incomprehensible words to congratulate him.

Snape always thought the other party was talking nonsense and deducted a lot of points.

Now that I think about it, he seems a bit arbitrary.

No, that's not right, why did he become the headmaster... and the Dark Lord entered Hogwarts?

Definitely not. If it was really the Dark Lord, there would be no way the school would be so peaceful.

If so, why?

Snape's expression kept changing... It was this uncontrollable feeling again, it was so uncomfortable.

"Principal McGonagall, what is going on?" He looked at Minerva McGonagall who had returned and quickly stood up and asked.

"Oh, you should call me professor, after all, you are the principal now." Professor McGonagall glanced at him indifferently, "As for why, didn't your colleagues tell you?

"He came to me today and threatened me on behalf of the Ministry of Magic to give you the position of principal. Otherwise, the teachers and students of the school will be miserable."

Although Professor McGonagall tried hard to control her voice, her tone was very rude.

She already knew the identity of the little director, who was a serious Death Eater.

A Death Eater wants Severus Snape to be Headmaster, and Professor McGonagall would be a fool not to guess what that means.

Apparently, Snape was also a Death Eater and was trusted by Voldemort to help control Hogwarts.

To be honest, it was not that she had never doubted Snape's identity. She had started to doubt it more than ten years ago. After all, they had seen Snape appear in Voldemort's camp.

But Dumbledore trusted him, and always hinted that he had unbreakable reasons for trusting Snape.

So Professor McGonagall also chose to believe it.

Unexpectedly, he actually failed Dumbledore.

In the little Death Eater's memory, the appointment of Snape as Headmaster was the order given by the mysterious man himself, and it was also the first order given by the Death Eater after taking control of half of the Ministry of Magic.

It couldn't be that Voldemort liked Snape better, so he must also be a Death Eater.

Professor McGonagall even suspected that Dumbledore's murder might have something to do with him. After all, it would be too unbelievable if Malfoy was the only one... Normally, after noticing Malfoy's intentions, Dumbledore There was no way Blido would give him the chance to raise his wand.

Someone must have helped to make their plan go so smoothly.

Moreover, when Malfoy was rescued by an unknown wizard, only one professor in the entire Hogwarts, Snape, was missing.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips.

It's a pity that she has no evidence. After hearing the voice of Phoenix, Snape has been following her and has a perfect alibi.

Moreover, there were two people who attacked Filius, but there was only one Snape, so the number did not match.

Snape looked at Professor McGonagall's increasingly cold eyes, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

When Professor McGonagall mentioned his colleagues just now, he thought of the Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic, but he didn't expect that they would want to attack Hogwarts so quickly.

Snape always thought that they would wait until they had the Ministry of Magic in their hands before attacking Hogwarts.

What's even more incredible is that Professor McGonagall actually agreed to cooperate with them... No, she will definitely cooperate.

Snape stepped forward and glanced at the students who filled half of the auditorium... They were the reason why Professor McGonagall agreed to the Death Eaters' request.

After understanding this, Snape calmed down and quickly accepted this fact. And becoming the principal of Hogwarts will be more helpful in implementing his plan.

Yes, his Snape plan...

That unreliable Dumbledore didn't even mention his plans before he died, he didn't even leave him a greeting, and he was the only one who knew his identity.

Since the funeral that day, his identity as a Death Eater has never been clear.

So Snape must find a way to defeat Voldemort, but he hasn't figured it out yet, or he has only half figured it out.

The Malfoys should be key, along with Potter.

He had heard Dumbledore say it countless times before, that Potter was the key to defeating the Dark Lord, and he must protect him.

That arrogant, reckless fool?

Snape quickly found the disgusting face in the Great Hall.

However, it was obvious that Harry, who had difficulty accepting Snape becoming the principal, had an equally aggressive look in his eyes, and even curse words were written on his face.

After the two looked at each other briefly, they both felt insulted.

"Look at his appearance." Harry couldn't help it anymore and said in an undisguised voice: "I don't know what means he used to become the principal of Hogwarts. I guess he must be extremely proud. ”

Seeing more and more eyes around them, Ron and Hermione looked horrified and stepped on Harry one after another to remind him to pay attention to the situation.

"Don't do this, Harry, you will be expelled!" Hermione's voice trembled, "He heard it, you will be expelled!"

"I don't care!" Harry sneered, without restraining himself at all, and his voice was even louder, "So what if Snape is expelled, if Snape becomes the principal, I would rather never come to Hogwarts!"

Snape's eyes flashed dangerously, but he remained strangely silent, as if he hadn't heard Harry's declaration.

This kept Hermione on tenterhooks until dinner was over, when she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I almost thought you were going to be kicked out on the spot," she whispered to Harry on the way back to the Gryffindor common room.

"I don't care." Harry said, "Do you think I'm kidding? If Snape really becomes the headmaster, I will definitely leave the school even if he doesn't fire me.

"If you had looked carefully at the teachers' bench just now, you would have noticed that someone has already left."

"Ah?" Ron was stunned for a moment, "Are there fewer people at the teacher's bench?"

"It's Kyle." Hermione said softly: "He didn't come to this dinner, but McGonagall... Professor McGonagall requested in advance that everyone must be present."

"He must have sensed the danger in advance." Harry said firmly: "You should know that Kyle is a phoenix..."

"Hey, Harry Potter."

Suddenly, a thin figure interrupted their conversation.

"Potter, the new principal wants you to go to his office." The person coming was a Slytherin student, who looked like he was in his second year.

"Don't go," Hermione blurted out.

Ron also nodded, "Thinking about what you just said in the auditorium, I don't think he came to you to have a heart-to-heart talk."

"No, I'll go," said Harry.

"Are you crazy?"

"I have never been so sober." Harry looked at the person who came, "Go back and tell Snape that I will definitely go and ask him to wait for me."

The man frowned, "You should learn to respect the Headmaster, Potter."

"I'm telling you this too, little one, you should learn to respect seventh grade, otherwise you will get beaten." Ron walked forward angrily and pushed him, "Get out of the way, don't block the road!"

The man stumbled and almost fell to the ground. He looked at Ron with a vicious look, turned around and left.

But Ron didn't take him seriously at all. He was just a little kid in second grade, and he could hit three with one hand.

"Are you really going to Snape's office? Harry." Ron said worriedly: "He must have no good intentions."

"Don't be stupid, Ron." Harry suddenly laughed, "How could I go to see Snape by myself?"

"Then you just..."

"I lied to him to prevent him from following us all the time." Harry lowered his voice, "Listen to me, after Snape, a Death Eater, became the headmaster, more Death Eaters will definitely follow. I I think I can no longer stay in school and must leave immediately."

"But this is just our speculation, isn't it?" Hermione was a little confused. "There is no direct evidence that Professor Snape is a Death Eater."

"Don't be stupid, Hermione." Harry glanced at her, "Didn't you hear what Professor McGonagall said just now? She said to Snape, 'Your colleagues', I heard it.

"And the way she looked at Snape also changed. She was very cold. Isn't this enough to explain Snape's identity?"

Hermione said nothing, her expression a little tangled.

"I'm coming with you." Ron patted his chest loyally, "Let's run away anytime."

"No, Ron, I alone am enough." Harry shook his head, "You are a pure blood, why are you running? Even if the Death Eaters come, they won't make things difficult for you."

"Are you referring to pure-blood shame?" Ron shrugged, mocking himself.

The Weasley family was called a pure-blood disgrace and was even expelled from the pure-blood family list. These were not secrets in the wizarding world.

"You go, I'll stay." Hermione raised her head, her eyes gradually becoming firmer: "There has to be someone who stays to find out the news. In this way, even if the Death Eaters take control of Hogwarts, we won't have anything. have no idea."

"Then, I'll stay too." Ron suddenly said, "Like you said, I'm a pure blood, and they won't kill me no matter what."

"You..." Harry wanted to say something else, but was pushed by Hermione.

"Act quickly, but after leaving Hogwarts, have you figured out where you are going?"

"Of course we're going to find Sirius." Harry said without thinking, "Maybe we're going to find Kyle. He must know more than us."

"Oh, by the way." Harry ran forward two steps, then turned back and said: "Be careful, if you want to escape from here one day, the secret passage under the Whomping Willow is a good choice.

"I'll leave the invisibility cloak at the Shrieking Shack... Oh, no, that's a soda shop now. I heard Sirius lost a lot of money."

After making the decision to leave school, Harry suddenly became much more relaxed and was even in the mood to joke.

"No, Harry, you need the Invisibility Cloak more than we do."

"I have a Firebolt." Harry said, "They can't catch me, but you...are you really not going to come with me?"

"Don't be stupid." Hermione pretended to smile lightly, "I have been preparing for seven years, and I don't want to give up on this N.E.W.T exam just like that."

"Well, you must be careful."

Harry didn't insist anymore, turned around, put on the invisibility cloak, blended into the crowd, and walked towards the outside of Hogwarts Castle.

So far, these are just his guesses. He left Hogwarts more because he was unhappy with Snape becoming the principal. Anyway, he had savings, and his godfather only had Galleons left, even without a diploma. You can also live a good life.

But Hermione was different from Ron. There was no need to let them leave with her just for a guess.

And even if Hogwarts was really occupied by Death Eaters later, he believed that with Hermione's wisdom, she would be able to successfully take Ron and hide in the Whomping Willow secret passage before the danger came.

Coupled with the invisibility cloak they left behind, it is very likely that they can successfully escape.

After figuring this out, Harry didn't hesitate anymore and quickly ran out of the castle before Snape could react.

But Harry didn't notice at all that there was a pair of eyes on the castle tower behind him looking at the empty field.

The other party may or may not have seen through the invisibility cloak, but in short, someone seemed to be thinking about Harry.
