a certain scientific harry potter

However, at this moment, his heart was filled with uncontrollable anger!

The Ministry of Magic... how could they be too ignorant to allow dementors to break into the school? !

(ps add a picture of the patron saint)

Chapter 360 The Whomping Willow Was Burned Down by Uninvited Guests

Due to the stunning appearance of Hermione's Griffon Patronus, more than a hundred dementors that disturbed the Quidditch match finally disappeared without a trace.

Of course, they are not dead, they are just driven away.

Dementors are known as one of the most evil and terrifying beings, and one of the most important characteristics is that they cannot be killed by any known means...

After all, these non-existent creatures are not even considered 'alive' at all, let alone dead.

In the Quidditch arena, the little wizards who were still in shock raised their heads from the stands one after another. With the protection of Hermione's Patronus, they were not greatly affected, and they even had the energy to whisper to each other in twos and threes at this time.

But the players from both sides who were competing just now were in a bit of a miserable situation. They were the first to encounter the dementors. Before Hermione's Patronus came out, many people accidentally fell off the broom.

Fortunately, the Hogwarts teachers reacted quickly enough. Professor Flitwick immediately changed the ground below the arena into a mud pond. Dumbledore and several other principals also cast the slowing spell and levitation spell one after another, ensuring that There were no injuries at the scene.

And the result of the match was also settled...Ginny caught the Snitch and Gryffindor won.

There is no doubt that she has become the new focus of attention after Hermione at this moment.

The Super Broom Firebolt proved once again that it was worth the money. At this time, Ginny was definitely the one who flew the highest and most stable in the arena, even more relaxed than Mrs. Hooch, who was the referee!

The Firebolt she was riding, and all the metal accessories on the broom were carefully crafted by goblin craftsmen, and it was equipped with an extremely excellent braking spell, which can independently cope with various emergencies.

Therefore, when the dementors were raging on the field, even though Ginny became terrified like the other players, the Firebolt could still ensure that her body was riding on the broom steadily, and finally successfully caught the golden snitch .

It's just that the little wizards present might start cheering for the winner after they calmed down a bit, but Harry definitely couldn't laugh.

Because when the vanguard of the dementors were repelled, the real conspiracy of the enemy should follow.

"Godfather... remember from now on, you are Professor Lupine! Regardless of your clothes, appearance, and most importantly, your temper, you are all!!"

Harry looked at Sirius seriously, his lips moved slightly, but no sound came out, but it sounded like thunder in Sirius' ears.

"I understand!" Sirius nodded heavily, obviously he also understood that it was time to protect his old friend by himself.

"Eat another compound chocolate immediately, and then..."

boom!

Harry's voice was telling Sirius, but suddenly a puff of thick smoke filled the Hogwarts playground in the distance, and there was even a faint fire that shot up into the sky!

All of a sudden, countless students started talking, and the entire competition site was in chaos.

"Ignore them, take your medicine now." However, Harry was unmoved at all, and at the same time immediately woke up Sirius, who wanted to watch the fun, and watched him eat a round chocolate bean.

It was Harry's specially improved compound decoction pill. It was made by compressing and agglomerating the compound decoction that had been added to Lupin's hair with the ability to control water elements, and then wrapped it with a layer of chocolate coating. In fact, it was somewhat similar to It means liqueur chocolate.

However, just this sugar ball-sized one can guarantee Sirius to maintain his transformation for a full twelve hours!

And it was covered by the smell of chocolate, so other people couldn't tell that he just drank the compound potion, even if they were searched, they could easily dispose of it.

"Everyone be quiet!" Dumbledore used his loud voice to cover the noise of the scene at once, "Now, all the students stay at the competition site, Mrs. Hooch, please stay here for the time being. The other teachers , Come with me to see what happened."

"Go...Professor Lupine~"

Harry nodded to Sirius who was about to leave. Whether his plan can be implemented smoothly depends on the beginning of today!

...

The students who were left behind in the Quidditch field were ignored for the time being. When Dumbledore hurried back to the school playground with a group of teachers, he found a group of uninvited guests setting fire there.

A few Auror dog legs holding wands are controlling the fire. Fudge, who looks like a dog, is watching with pride under the company of Umbridge and Malfoy, and the tree on the edge of the Forbidden Forest is decades old The Whomping Willow... at this moment, it has been completely burned in the flames formed by the curse!

"Stop!" Dumbledore waved a jet of water with a face full of anger, and after extinguishing the flames, he looked at Fudge on the opposite side gloomyly, "First the Dementors, then the Whomping Willow... Fudge, what on earth is your Ministry of Magic trying to do? !"

"Of course we are here to investigate the case and arrest the criminals." Umbridge took the initiative, as if he was Fudge's spokesperson, "The dementors are sent to catch the criminals who have been sheltered by Hogwarts. As for burning them The Whomping Willow, of course, because...there is a secret passage below that allows criminals to operate secretly!"

While speaking, she even waved her wand, and released a whirlwind sweep at the pile of ashes behind Dumbledore, completely ignoring the covering mouths and noses of everyone present, and blowing away all the wreckage left by the Whomping Willow '.

Such a rare tree that had been growing for decades was now reduced to ashes, which inevitably made many teachers at Hogwarts look at Umbridge with anger.

Among them, the most angry one is definitely Sirius who bears the appearance of Lupin. The Whomping Willow carries too many memories of the robbers. The neck of this pink toad!

However, Umbridge didn't care about the angry eyes of the crowd at all, and instead looked at Dumbledore provocatively: "Dumbledore, now you have nothing to say, the entrance to the secret passage is really under the Whomping Willow !"

Indeed, when the Whomping Willow was burned, the secret passage leading to the Shrieking Shack was no longer blocked, so Dumbledore did not choose to argue with Umbridge.

Including her complacently sending her men into the secret passage to search, Dumbledore also didn't say a word.

He seemed to completely regard Umbridge as air, and just kept staring at Fudge coldly: "Fudge, you have made enough trouble these days!"

"I can't help it, Dumbledore~" Fudge made a helpless look, "Hogwarts has been too unsafe recently, first Peter Pettigrew sneaked into the school, used Mal The children of the Fuji family threatened Lucius; then we received a tip that Hogwarts was sheltering a werewolf criminal who was doing evil everywhere..."

"Cornel Fudge... I don't remember when Hogwarts ever sheltered a werewolf criminal!" Dumbledore stopped Fudge's slander with righteous words, and the anger in his eyes almost gushed out.

"Why not?" With the support of the Malfoy family behind him, Fudge was obviously not afraid of Dumbledore's threat.

He took off his top hat and pointed at 'Lupin' among the teachers, and complained with a confident look: "According to the information we have, Remus Lupine is a notorious werewolf, and in the last few full moons At that time, many heinous attacks were planned!!"

Chapter 360 Sijiao will definitely help

Lupine is a werewolf, and many people in Hogwarts know this.

For example, Dumbledore and Mrs. Pomfrey, the head nurse, as well as the deans of the four colleges.

Therefore, when Fudge revealed Lupine's identity, these insiders did not show doubts or shocks like other younger teachers, but showed obvious panic.

Paper cannot contain fire, and secrets will eventually be revealed one day...

But there are always exceptions to everything, Dumbledore is still not in a hurry at this moment, and he is not pretending to be calm, but confident from the inside out.

"Fudge, I advise you to pay attention to your words... Even if you are the Minister of Magic, you are still responsible if you slander a Hogwarts professor at will."

Dumbledore retorted unhurriedly, looking at the other party without any dodge: "I don't know where you heard the rumors, but I can vouch for myself that Remus is definitely a genuine human being, Never been a werewolf!!”

This retort was so loud that Fudge was caught off guard and didn't know what to refute for a while, so he could only subconsciously look at the instigator beside him, Lucius Malfoy.

It's just that although Dumbledore categorically denied it, those teachers who knew the truth were still extremely worried...

Isn't Remus Lupine a werewolf?

Tonight is the night of the full moon, this kind of lie can be easily broken~

In addition, Dumbledore's performance also made Snape, who had been watching coldly, a little puzzled.

Something is wrong, how could Dumbledore deny Lupine's identity so categorically?

Unless...he got the news early in the morning, knowing that what happened today would be a disaster in the end!

It was the stupid dog present instead of Lupine, and neither Granger nor the people around him could have leaked the secret, nor had he ever said it himself, so Lupine could only have told Dumbledore himself.

But... why?

Shouldn't he be very clear that the relationship between Granger and Dumbledore has begun to seem estranged, so why did he leak Granger's plan to the other party?

And after guessing these things, how should I choose...

Suddenly, Snape suddenly felt a bit in a dilemma.

It stands to reason that he should have informed Harry of these discoveries immediately as before, but now that the matter was related to Lupine, this inevitably made him a little entangled.

Remus Lupine, the former marauder and best friend of the obnoxious James Potter, was definitely on the same side as Granger, and one of his most trusted people.

On the other hand, he was a former Death Eater and the informer of that prophecy back then. Even if he reminded Granger of many things, would that kid believe the 'bad words' he made up for Remus?

It's a pity that Harry didn't understand Snape's thoughts, otherwise he would definitely feel...

Sri Lanka is a little underestimated now.

So, after glancing at the ready-to-movement 'Lupin', Snape closed his eyes slightly, and finally chose to procrastinate.

It's all about dealing with the current situation first.

"Dumbledore, I also want to advise you, don't talk too much!" Seeing that Fudge was easily defeated, Lucius simply chose to fight in person, "Remus Lupine is a werewolf, and you not only Covering up a werewolf in the school, even allowing him to enter the school regardless of the safety of the students. Including the Whomping Willow and the haunted screaming shack, aren’t they all traps you carefully arranged to make him transform?”

While speaking, a cold smile gradually appeared on Lucius' face, and he was also confident at the moment.

Ever since he received another letter from someone, he has been waiting for today's full moon night.

Lupine is a werewolf, including all the cover-ups Dumbledore made for him in school. That person told Lucius clearly. There is absolutely irrefutable evidence!

Hmph, Dumbledore just continue to be stubborn, wait until the moon rises tonight, and see if you can continue to carry on like this!

"Heh, the cost of spreading rumors is low enough now, you can slander people casually with just a touch of upper and lower lips, right~" At this time, 'Lupine' who was the person involved finally spoke.

He shrugged helplessly, the patches all over his body, and even the scars on his face, all showed obvious disdain.

"Calling me a werewolf, and saying that I went out to attack others on the night of the full moon? This is utter nonsense! Or... are you going to imprison me in Azkaban without trial just like you did to Black? ? Then I really need to see how fair the Ministry of Magic is~"

"Lupin, no matter how much you argue, it's useless, you are definitely a werewolf!" Lucius shook his head contemptuously, as if he was contemptuous of the other party's useless dying struggle, "It doesn't matter if you refuse to admit it now, but Don't forget... Poppy Pomfrey from the school hospital, she is the one who takes you to transform every full moon night, and knows your situation like the back of her hand. Oh, and Severus Sney Pu, when you were a student, you almost killed him!"

"Really...but I don't remember it at all~" Sirius seemed to answer relaxedly, but the way he looked at Snape already implied extreme vigilance.

Harry persuaded him to trust Snape, saying that the other party would definitely help him, but with the hatred between the two, how could he be so easy to bet the key to success or failure on Snape? !

"I don't remember that either." Snape opened his eyes slightly and said expressionlessly, "But I'm very glad that he is not a werewolf, otherwise he might really kill me. And if Mr. Principal really protects Lupine as you said, I'm afraid he won't care about my life at all."

Snape's words sounded cold at first, but when he thought about it carefully, he was full of resentment. He seemed to be replying to Lucius, but he secretly scolded Sirius and Dumbledore, two unkind guys.

"Hmph, you rumor-mongers, have you heard that?" Hearing Snape's words, Sirius subconsciously straightened his back, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

Snape was really willing to help, which surprised him, but it really helped him through the biggest difficulty.

However, Sirius still couldn't help complaining about Snape's obvious attitude.

Hmph, this snot-nosed man is clearly taking the opportunity to retaliate, and his mind is so bad~

"It's been too long, I don't remember it anymore. Besides, from the time I entered Hogwarts to the present, countless students have been treated. I don't pay much attention to them at all, and I don't know anything about werewolves. .”

Madam Pomfrey, who has always been shrewd, has also reacted at this time, and directly followed Snape's words with a push, two, five, six.

"You...you are covering criminals!!"

Lucius couldn't help feeling a little annoyed when he heard the words. He obviously had all the evidence in his hands, but the situation that was so sure was stuck here. This feeling made people vomit blood.

"Whether I am a criminal or not is up to you, unless you can produce tangible evidence... to prove that I am a werewolf!"

Sirius taunted Lucius with disdain, and he looked at Lucius indifferently, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes suddenly.

"Or... the evidence you've been clamoring for all this time was obtained from some shady mice?"

Chapter 360 Two, Malfoy and Son Are Quite Angry

The dispute on the Hogwarts playground finally came to nothing.

Of course, it's not because Lucius and the flies in the Ministry of Magic have not lost their conscience, but because they found that the more noisy they are, the less dominant they are.

Especially when 'Lupine' began to doubt the source of the evidence of the Ministry of Magic and insinuated that Lucius and Pettigrew had colluded, even if he was as dull as Fudge, he knew that they could not continue to quarrel on the playground.

After all, we are in Hogwarts right now, even if Fudge has a 'justifiable' reason this time, if there is really a mess between Lucius and Pettigrew, it will be very difficult to end in the end.

However, Lucius would never give up on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so after some disputes, he secretly instructed Fudge to escort 'Lupin' to the auditorium and put him under custody.

Didn't you say that you are not a werewolf, then let's spend until the full moon tonight to see if you can survive the public execution of transformation!

Lucius had a good plan. After all, if "Lupine" really turned into a wolf in the auditorium, there would definitely be an uproar in the entire Hogwarts. At that time, Dumbledore would also die for covering up the werewolf.

But he didn't know that his plan was actually in Harry's hands.

The reason why Harry didn't reveal his plans to too many people was precisely because he needed Sirius to do his best to attract the attention of the enemy.

At such a time, every extra well-meaning person helps 'Lu Ping' to perjure himself, the matter will be more likely to be revealed.

Because Lucius will definitely hold on to these people, and if they are arrested and interrogated by the Ministry of Magic, then things may go bad.

So for assistance or something, Harry only needs to have a super reliable Sijiao~

As for Sirius, Harry was completely reassured about him, because there was absolutely nothing the enemy could do against him.
