A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 583 'Malfoy'

The three came out of Hagrid's hut, and on the way they ran into those little wizards who had been watching the fun before.They were young and full of curiosity, and Harry had expected them to run back to the castle in a hurry, but they were chatting on the side of the road, discussing whether to go back.

"Those little devils." Ron said with emotion.

Harry looked back at them, guessing that these people probably didn't know that he might sew clothes for Professor Hagrid's dear brother in the Protection of Fantastic Beasts class, and that thing was hanging in Hagrid's cabin now, Bigger than a tent.

They walked on the stone steps and saw Varen walking out at the gate of the castle. Harry was excited and ran over to meet Varen's eyes.

"Is the professor around?" he said excitedly.

Since that long night, Varun has regained his greedy snake, and he has to carry it every day, comforting himself that its treasures are all inside.It raised its head in doubt, and after hearing Harry's question, it stretched out its other free finger and pointed in the direction of the auditorium.

The three of Harry walked into the auditorium, turned around but didn't see the target, "There." Hermione said, pointing in the direction of the staff lounge, Harry suddenly realized, but he hesitated in his heart, there might be people in the staff lounge There was Snape, with whom he had been avoiding face-to-face lately.

"Come on, go in and have a look." Hermione said encouragingly.

Harry was about to open the door when he was surprised to hear Draco Malfoy's trembling voice from inside, "Yes, I'm sure." Harry retracted his hand.The three of them looked at each other, a little confused.Then Professor McGonagall's stern voice came from the room: "Mr. Malfoy, you know the consequences of perjury."

Draco didn't respond, seemingly stuck on the question.

At this time, Professor Hemp's voice came from the room, "Let me ask a few words-Malfoy, can I understand that you don't know the purpose of Avery and Umbridge, but they claim to be you Father's friend, that's why you let your guard down?"

"...Yes, Professor."

Felix said to himself, "No wonder. But when you follow them to—well, the girls' bathroom—"

"abandoned."

"sorry?"

"It's the abandoned girls' bathroom," Draco said, swallowing.

"Well, you followed them to the abandoned girls' bathroom. Umbridge forced you to do things for them, and even signed a dangerous contract, but it was interrupted because Miss Granger suddenly appeared?"

"Yes."

"Felix—" broke in Professor McGonagall's serious voice.

"You were scared and kept avoiding them?" Felix continued.

"Yes." Draco said in a low voice.

"Well, I see." Felix's tone became more relaxed, and he said with confidence: "I guess Avery must have secretly found Crabbe and Goyle behind, and cast a confusion spell on them—"

"Felix, I have to remind you that the Confusion Charm has a time limit." Professor McGonagall said angrily.

"I know, Minerva. But the brains of Crabbe and Goyle—" Felix paused, "are not counted as psychics. They are in a state of confusion at any time and anywhere, and may even regard it as a magic spell after the spell's effect ends. One's own thoughts, only those who are most familiar with them can find abnormalities...such as Mr. Draco Malfoy."

There was the sound of Professor McGonagall's breathing in the room.Harry was terrified to hear that, and he could imagine Professor McGonagall pursing his lips and his chest heaving violently, just as he had worked up the courage to persuade her to allow students to support Hogsmeade a few days ago.

She must be pissed off.

"Well, Mr. Malfoy." Professor McGonagall said, "Thanks for your testimony, I will consider withholding the expulsion of Crabbe and Goyle, unless there is new evidence that—" She paused, "that they were voluntary Acting as an accomplice of the mysterious man."

"Thanks, Professor," said Malfoy's grateful voice.

Footsteps were heard at the door, Harry, Ron and Hermione hurried away from the doorknob, the door opened, Draco Malfoy looked at them in surprise, Ron grinned, "Hello." Draco sternly After glaring at them hard and slamming the door, he turned and left without saying anything.

After the 'father-son sparring' at Christmas, Lucius told him something - not only the current situation, but also the consideration of the future.According to his father, even if the war is over and Haipu's side wins, he intends to gradually weaken his influence.

"I'm an undercover agent, but I'm also a Death Eater. As long as I'm active, these two labels will always exist. So the Malfoy family will rely on you when the time comes."

……

Harry knocked on the door.But Professor McGonagall was speaking loudly inside, and their knocks were ignored.

"Felix, Crabbe and Goyle show no signs of being under a spell."

"...It's also hard to say."

"Malfoy's testimony was full of holes, and he said he had a fight with Crabbe."

"Well, it's a bit weird, but after I just polished it up, maybe it makes a little sense?"

Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood awkwardly at the door, watching Professor McGonagall put his hands on his hips and block Professor Haip in the corner. Professor Haipu kept beckoning her to calm down.

"Pfft." Laughter came from the corner, Harry turned his head sharply, and saw Sirius sitting on an embroidered chair, watching the play with his teacup in his arms.

"Potter, Weasley, Granger," Professor McGonagall found the three people in the room, she took a few steps back, took a few deep breaths, and the expression on her face returned to calm, "Very well, I will find Professor Dumbledore explaining the situation." She strode out of the room.

Apart from Harry and the other three, only Sirius and Professor Hemp were left in the staff lounge.

"Um - can I ask what just happened?" Harry asked impatiently.

Sirius curled his lips, "Congratulations to you for watching a good show. Someone turned black and white and ignored school rules and laws. He sheltered two potential Death Eaters, no, it should be three."

"You mean Draco Malfoy?" said Ron. "He came to intercede for Crabbe and Goyle? That's not like him."

"That's right, when he realized that these two people not only violated the school rules, but also might be forced into the Wizengamot's trial sequence, he wanted to back down." Sirius leaned back, letting The front legs of the chair were propped up, and he said disdainfully, "After Minerva asked a few words, he was in a panic. At this time, our upright and kind-hearted Professor Haip descended from the sky and made up a plausible reason for Malfoy. How noble Behavior!"

"Tell me, Felix, how much did the Malfoy family pay you?" Sirius asked with a grin.

"You should ask Remus this question. The Malfoy family bought a lot of products from the 'Future World' company. He knows the exact number." Felix said lightly.

He walked over unhurriedly, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.Then the three cups fell next to the three chairs, Felix motioned to Harry and the three of them, and they sat down with teacups.

"Well, Harry, what are you doing here?" he asked.

Harry was taken aback.

There were many things he wanted to ask, but he estimated that Professor Haipu would not tell him easily.In the past few days, when he discussed and analyzed with Ron and Hermione, he found many suspicious things.

If Principal Dumbledore arranged for members of the Order of the Phoenix to lurk into the school in advance, it could be explained by discovering clues about Voldemort's dispatch of troops, but some things seemed too coincidental.

Why did Snape appear near the headmaster's office, and happen to be in front and back with Umbridge?But it would make sense if it was explained that his task was to deliver the password to the door.Then there's Professor Hemp, whose appearance is also full of drama, and Umbridge will disappear with a Horcrux a few seconds later.

But if Professor Hemp has been...

"It's like a trap set by the grown-ups," Hermione said at the time.

Neville's parents seemed to know something, but they were gone.Harry pretended to mention it casually to Neville a few times, but every time he became awkward, Ron asked a lot, "Did your parents beat you? Listen, we don't know how to joke." Yours." As a result, Neville gave him a hard look.

Harry could only let it go.

He brushed off these sudden thoughts and said slowly, "What will happen to Crabbe and Goyle?"

"Probably stay in school for probation." Felix said casually.

"Their father—"

"I was arrested on the spot." Sirius suddenly interjected, "In the name of attacking the Ministry of Magic, he is probably with the Lestrange brothers right now." He gave Felix a provocative look, as if Expect his rebuttal.But Felix was unresponsive.

"Oh, uh, what about Malfoy?" Harry asked breathlessly, "I mean Lucius Malfoy?"

Sirius' face suddenly creased.

"Let him escape."

"Why?" Ron asked.

Sirius put down the upright chair, looked at them and said: "It should be said that it is good to have such a result. Amelia said that it is fortunate that the anti-apparition zone arranged before was not canceled."

"What's that?" Harry asked in surprise.

"Do you still remember the ancient rune exchange meeting held in Hogsmeade?" Felix asked, and the three nodded.More than just remembering, it is still fresh in my memory. Voldemort killed the headmaster of Ilvermorny School that day, snatched Salazar Slytherin's snake stick, and destroyed half of Hogger not long after. Mod's building.

"...we speculated at the time that Voldemort might take the opportunity to break into the Ministry of Magic - there was something very important to him there. For this reason, the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix had laid traps in advance, and the anti-apparition area was one of them .It's a pity he didn't come last time."

Felix's tone seemed to be understated, but everyone present could feel the thrill hidden in it.Anti-Apparition... Once Voldemort couldn't escape, and he was trapped by the two of Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Hemp, it was likely that the war would be over that day.

"Professor?" asked Hermione, "I read in the newspaper that the Shafik family—"

"Oh, I know about it." Felix interrupted, and Hermione fell silent.

Before leaving, Harry asked a question, "Do you still trust Snape? After what happened?"

"You should call him Professor Snape." Felix answered irrelevantly.

So Harry had the answer in his mind.

……

"Lucius Malfoy is your man?" After closing the door, Sirius asked suddenly.

Felix looked at him with a half-smile, "Did you smell it?"

"Don't use that metaphor," Sirius muttered disapprovingly.

"I thought you'd like it—yes, you're right," said Felix.

Sirius straightened up in surprise, "You just told me that?" He couldn't help but look up and down, "He won't be sold by you because he is no longer useful?"

Felix rolled his eyes.

"What kind of image do I have in your mind?"

"Scheming, insidious and cunning." Sirius subconsciously said.

Felix stared at him, wondering if he should find an excuse to beat him up, Sirius shuddered, and quickly changed the subject: "How are you going to spend Valentine's Day? Do you have a date?"

"Of course there is."

"Really? With whom?" Sirius asked with interest.

"Oh." Felix said disdainfully.

February 2.On Valentine's Day, students lined up for a fun day at Hogsmeade.At this time, they saw Filch standing at the main entrance of the school, staring at the passing students with a bad attitude, checking for contraband.

"Filch is still so unpleasant and likes to find fault with students," said Ron.

"But at least he's on our side, isn't he?" said Harry.

"Your request is too low." Ron said, he suddenly hid behind Harry: "Help me block it."

"What's the matter?" Harry looked in the opposite direction from Ron for no reason, and Parvati and Lavender Brown passed by together.

"She wants to ask me out for the holidays," Ron whispered, and he didn't come out until the people had left.

"Lavender?" Harry guessed.

"It's her." Ron said triumphantly, "I can't help it, she's so popular. I've received several cards."

Harry thought belatedly that he seemed to have received quite a few cards this year, and Ginny said that her hands were sore from opening them.At this time, they saw Professor Haip appear at the door, dressed very formally, and Apparated away at the school gate.

"Someone has an appointment with the professor?" Ron asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Harry said bluntly, seeing Ginny approaching in a beautiful purple dress, and pretending not to see Luna with carrot earrings and a dress full of glitter and sequins.

Multiple people are also good, and can reduce a lot of embarrassment.thought Harry.

Diagon Alley, Swords Castle.

Felix stood at the door and looked at it for a long time, then walked in.In the spacious hall on the first floor, some people had already gathered, most of them covered their faces tightly with scarves.

These people are kept at a distance from each other and seem to have absolutely no interest in chatting.

Claire trotted over.

"Is everyone here?" Felix asked.

"It's all here! Seven squibs and twelve wizards with disabilities are here." Keremi said quickly, "These are their documents." She stuffed a stack of parchment into Felix arms, and looked at him expectantly.

"Have a good time—"

"Goodbye." Keremi said bluntly, turned around and ran away.

Felix smacked his lips, suddenly feeling a little depressed.He raised his hand abruptly, and the heavy door behind him slammed shut with a bang.

"So, everyone, are you ready to feel the magic of magic?"

　Let me tell you that there may be some problems with punctuation these days, I asked the editor and it is estimated that it will be resolved next week.
