The third Dark Lord came from Hogwarts

“Oh my god, Dumbledore is really old and confused! He is going to expel the professors of Hogwarts!”

“What? Let me see!”

“Look! The professor of divination at Hogwarts is the descendant of the prophet Cassandra, who predicted that Harry Potter is the savior! Dumbledore wants to expel her!”

“Look, it also says that the professors of Hogwarts have been oppressed by Dumbledore, and Dumbledore does whatever he wants with his magic!”

“I didn’t expect it. I have only graduated for a few years, and Hogwarts has become like this!”

I have to say that Rita Skeeter is good at talking nonsense.

Under her propaganda, Dumbledore has almost become a figure that everyone wants to kill.

In the past, most British wizards would at most laugh it off.

At most, they would mutter a few words behind his back.

But in recent years, too many things have happened in Hogwarts and to Dumbledore, and there is sufficient evidence for every one of them.

Dumbledore’s flawless golden body had been smashed to pieces long ago.

Trelawney bought and read this issue of the Daily Prophet as soon as it came out.

He thought he could use the interview to improve his reputation and get rid of the name of a liar.

Who would have thought that Rita would write like this!

That was his immediate superior! If he offended him, how would he live in the future!

Trelawney felt like crying but had no tears.

“Find Principal Dumbledore! I have to find Principal Dumbledore as soon as possible to explain!”

She trotted all the way to the principal’s office, and only when she reached the door did she remember that she didn’t seem to have asked for the password to the principal’s office.

After wandering at the door for a while, she turned around and chose to ask Professor McGonagall for help.

Under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, they entered the principal’s office.

Dumbledore was a little confused when he saw the two of them coming.

Why are you two here instead of going to have breakfast so early in the morning?

Because of the prophecy a few days ago?

Isn’t it all resolved?

Professor McGonagall sighed and put the Daily Prophet that Sybil brought on the table.

“Take a look, Albus.”

Sybil hid behind Professor McGonagall with a nervous look on her face, like a child who had done something wrong, and she didn’t even dare to raise her head.

Dumbledore realized that something was wrong, especially when he opened the newspaper and saw the name of the reporter, he felt even more overwhelmed.

Rita Skeeter, his number one anti-fan.

Anything she reported about herself must be bad!

Sybil saw that Dumbledore didn’t speak, and her heart couldn’t help trembling.

“Principal Dumbledore, I didn’t say that, she was talking nonsense!”

“When she was interviewed yesterday, I only talked about the Divination class!”

“Don’t be nervous, Sybil.”

Dumbledore knew what kind of person Rita Skeeter was.

Even if Trelawney said something normal, she could make it up for you.

Especially when it comes to targeting herself!

Therefore, he didn’t think about other aspects at all.

“Albus, the news in the British wizarding world is very strong now. I’m worried that some professors will have some ideas.”

Professor McGonagall said worriedly: “Perhaps, you should explain it to the faculty of Hogwarts.”

“I’ll consider it.”

Dumbledore knew that his reputation was no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

If it were in the past, he would not even read such reports.

The students and professors of Hogwarts, as well as the wizards in the British wizarding world, would only treat it as a joke.

But after a series of events in the past two years, he no longer has the reputation he had before.

Even such nonsense has many people willing to believe!

All this started after Harry entered school.

Sometimes Dumbledore also wondered if he had interfered too much with Harry and ignored other aspects.

But now everything is too late. Even if Dumbledore noticed something wrong, he could only go all the way.

…

After Dumbledore’s explanation and assurance, some of the originally slightly anxious Hogwarts faculty and staff finally calmed down.

Especially Filch, the patrolman who could be replaced at any time.

Not long after, Hogwarts returned to peace again.

But after this incident, Dumbledore’s status as the headmaster plummeted in the eyes of many faculty and staff.

A few days later, Argus had just walked out of the Slytherin common room and was about to go to the library.

Creaky! Creaky!

There were several strange noises coming from the stairs above his head.

Looking in the direction of the sound, it was the stone carvings on the wall falling to the ground.

Just near the carvings, an extremely subtle sound of footsteps caught his attention.

“There are footsteps? But no one can be seen?”

“Is it Harry? What is he going to do wearing an invisibility cloak now?”

While Argus was thinking, the footsteps were getting farther and farther away.

He drew out his wand and pointed it at the ground.

“Appear with me!”

Light blue ripples appeared, flowing out from the wand, gently touching the ground.

Footprints appeared in front of Argus.

After casting the Disillusionment Charm on himself, Argus quietly followed Harry.

Harry was completely unaware at this time.

He was wearing an invisibility cloak, his eyes fixed on Lupin not far ahead.

Today he wanted to find some books about time converters, but unfortunately the library didn’t find any.

In desperation, he had to use the invisibility cloak to go to the restricted book area.

But just as he set out from the dormitory wearing the invisibility cloak, he found that Lupin was carefully leaving from a passage he had never seen before.

His expression was very alert, as if he was afraid of being discovered!

Driven by curiosity, Harry chose to follow.

There was another figure who also found that Lupin was wrong.

Following Lupin from a distance.

A group of people followed Lupin like nesting dolls.

Following Lupin, he gradually approached the Shrieking Shack.

“Hey, Padfoot, I’m here!”

“I brought you food, so don’t go out these few days!”

Lupin came to the second floor of the Shrieking Shack panting.

He saw Sirius lying on the ground in his Animagus form and snoring.

He kicked him up.

“Wake up, don’t sleep!”

Sirius, who was forced to open, was still in a daze. He turned back to human form when he saw Lupin’s familiar face.

“You’re finally here, Moony!”

“I’m almost starving!”

“It’s not easy for me to come out. Hogwarts has been full of troubles in the past two years. It’s nothing like our time.”

Lupin sat on the ground with Sirius, watching Sirius wolfing down bread.

As if he was recalling something.

Everything he did was seen clearly by Harry not far away!

Harry couldn’t hear what they said, but he could see that the two behaved closely.

Obviously, the relationship is not ordinary!

Thinking of his past trust in Lupin, thinking of how Lupin had talked about his relationship with his parents in front of him many times.

The shame of being deceived, the anger at Lupin’s shamelessness, and… the hatred caused by seeing the face that is exactly the same as the one on the wanted poster!

Harry rushed in regardless of everything and pushed the door open.

Used his most powerful and most convenient spell now.

“Expelliarmus!”
