Chapter 1278 The only one who knows the truth…
Professor Snape’s words silenced everyone.
There were no fools among the professors present, and they immediately understood Snape’s concerns.
The Ministry of Magic is undoubtedly the most aware of Dumbledore and Voldemort’s situation.
And their series of actions clearly determined that Dumbledore would not be able to return to Hogwarts in a short period of time.
Even, according to Snape’s inference just now – Rufus Scrimgeour’s reassignment portends something even worse.
The former Auror chief of staff who “resigned to blame” did not retire, but arrived at the school at an extraordinary time; the Ministry of Magic awarded him the title of “guiding headmaster”, and at the same time set up annoying shackles like Umbridge around him. It was a very unreasonable thing… All of this, it seems that there is only one explanation that can barely make sense:
In the eyes of some officials, or wizards of higher rank, Scrimgeour had to stay at Hogwarts in order to deal with some kind of threat.
“There’s no Dark Lord at Hogwarts, we’re safe now…”
Professor Sprout let out a long sigh and whispered thoughtfully.
“Therefore, Scrimgeour cannot be a dagger from the Ministry of Magic – he is a shield against the Dark Lord!”
The three exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. Professor McGonagall picked up the newspaper again, stared at the photos on the cover, and suddenly stood up.
“Where are you going?” Madam Pomfrey looked at McGonagall in confusion.
“Send a letter. I have some guesses…”
Professor McGonagall said her eyes swept across several girls talking in the corner of the auditorium.
“Probably… um… I’m not sure if… but most likely… the gentleman should know…”
As Professor McGonagall spoke, her gaze glanced at the magazine at the bottom, which she had not paid attention to.
At a certain moment, Mag suddenly realized that among the various magazines and news, there seemed to be one missing magazine that was particularly popular recently.
Originally, the news was the sharpest and most keen to satirize the current hot “The Quibbler” with various sharp metaphors, but this time it was unexpectedly quiet.
Professor McGonagall suddenly realized who he could turn to for advice – another “Dumbledore”.
Dumbledore is not alone, the top wizards form a small group to jointly promote the transformation of the wizarding world.
This is the most important piece of information that Professor McGonagall captured from Elena last night.
but…
There’s another troubling corollary involved…
Gellert Grindelwald, perhaps “released” from prison long ago, was involved in some obscure plotting of events.
Grindelwald was ignored, intentionally or unintentionally, in the Ministry’s circular, as if the old wizard was just a temporary thug—but McGonagall didn’t think so.
There is a high probability that the International Federation of Wizards has reached an unspeakable secret deal with the other party, otherwise Dumbledore would not be able to leave with confidence.
And now the magic world knows all kinds of truths, and at the same time she can get in touch with the wizards…
“The Horned Snorer… Album, at a time like this?”
“Wait, Minerva—”
Professor Sprout looked at Mag who suddenly got up and left, and pointed to the lower right corner of the newspaper with a strange expression.
“Mr. Scrimgeour and the Ministry of Magic dispatchers will arrive at the school at any time, or we’ll have to wait-”
“For the reception from the Ministry of Magic, I will ask you and the other two deans for the time being.”
“…but you’re the Vice-Chancellor of Hogwarts!”
Professor Sprout blinked and watched helplessly as Professor McGonagall disappeared behind the side door of the auditorium.
“Okay, I hope you can explain it to us slowly when you come back…”
Professor Sprout grumbled, and she and Snape also got up and walked slowly towards the door of the auditorium.
“What’s more troublesome than the Ministry of Magic? I don’t know who she can write to—well, Professor Flitwick, there are some cases!”
Professor Flitwick was not sitting in the staff seat, he was standing in the door of the auditorium updating the magic book for a group of Ravenclaw students.
Last night, Elena temporarily released the latest magic lock version, but not everyone will operate the update.
Although it is easy to entrust classmates to help, most Ravenclaw girls prefer to wait in long queues for Professor Flitwick to update compared to good sisters.
“Huh? Severus, Pomona… oh, sorry—I’ll have it all over here soon.”
Professor Flitwick waved his wand quickly and smiled helplessly.
“Forget it, I’ll help you share some of it.” Professor Sprout glanced at the long queue and pulled out his wand with a smile.
At the same time, Snape took out his wand silently.
The originally crowded and noisy crowd quickly divided into three columns, each crowded around the three professors.
Of course, compared to Snape, there were significantly more little wizards diverted to Professor Sprout’s side – which made Snape’s face a bit more indifferent.
“Where’s Miss Kaslana? Shouldn’t she be in charge of these things? Where are the Hogwarts Disciplinary Committee?”
Snape looked around, but didn’t see any white-haired and her little friends.
“Oh, they seem to have something else—”
Professor Flitwick said in confusion, and pointed at random in the direction of the castle gate not far away. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
“Professor Apocalis just led them to the castle bridge, as if to say, what Ministry of Magic is here?”
Professor Flitwick blinked slyly. “Professor Apocalis is very good at dealing with Ministry of Magic officials, I think, isn’t he?”
“Well, actually, that’s what we’re talking about—”
Professor Sprout frowned and handed the newspaper to Professor Flitwick.
“Felius, we just got the news that the Ministry of Magic seems to be planning to temporarily dispatch a ‘guiding headmaster’ to Hogwarts…”
“Guide the Headmaster?! The Ministry of Magic has directly appointed a new Headmaster?!”
Professor Flitwick asked loudly in surprise, causing many students around to raise their heads in surprise.
“The situation is a bit complicated, Minerva should come over to discuss it later…”
She said worriedly, and she and Snape exchanged a look that became solemn.
“This time, Rufus Scrimgeour is leading the team. They will be at Hogwarts for a long time. The specific situation is not yet clear.”
“But there is some bad news. We may have to prepare in advance. Forget it… Let’s go to the gate of the castle quickly. We can talk about anything as we walk-”
The Ministry of Magic officials came sooner than they thought, which meant that the situation outside was more urgent than they might have guessed.
The three deans temporarily stopped their work, walked out of the auditorium door quickly, and hurriedly walked towards the castle gate.
You know, the last time Professor Apocalis met the Aurors, it didn’t seem to be particularly pleasant.
They don’t want any additional conflict at this crucial juncture.
