Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

In the end, the disappearance of Marion Jerome was not hidden from the students of Hogwarts. Although Andre and the others did not tell other students, the eaglets of Ravenclaw were already alert and wise, and the students of the same college A seventh-grade boy disappeared inexplicably for two days. How could they not have their own guesses?

What's more, Jerome doesn't live in a single room. No matter how lonely he is, he still has several roommates. Even if Ravenclaw students often have the habit of sleeping in the corridor, not returning to the dormitory for two consecutive nights will still attract the attention of others. .

So during breakfast time on Tuesday, many people in the auditorium had already begun to discuss this matter, and as the news spread more and more widely, there were screams of surprise one after another. They were already a little worried about Flint being attacked. The worried little wizard fell into even greater panic.

Even if Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick stepped forward to appease everyone, it would not help. After all, until now, the school has not given everyone the truth, whether it was the murderer who killed Mrs. Norris or the person who attacked Flint. Who is it, not to mention that there is now another Jerome who has mysteriously disappeared.

"I think if my mother knew that there were so many accidents in the castle, she would definitely not let me stay at Hogwarts." Seamus, who was in the same dormitory, said to Andre.

Neville on the side also nodded: "My grandma really believes in Professor Dumbledore, but I also think it's really scary in the castle now."

Andre understood the two people's thoughts very well. In other words, most of the young wizards had the same attitude as Seamus. Currently, the students at Hogwarts, especially the first and second graders, basically do not have the ability to resist black magic. ability, especially when Quirrell was still the teacher in charge of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class last year.

Even if Sirius got this position this semester, he still hadn't attended a few classes in total.

Andre had no good solution for this. He himself was now confused about several accidents that happened in the castle. The only suspect he found turned out to be an accident.

However, although the students' emotions were not stable, the class still had to continue.

The first class on Wednesday morning was Potions, which Harry and Ron hated most, and they were taught with Slytherins, which undoubtedly doubled the level of disgust.

The only thing they were happy about was that Malfoy no longer dared to provoke them. Even when he saw Andre, he would shake his body reflexively. Ron was happy every time he saw this scene. First half day.

Perhaps because there have been too many troubles these days, especially since the captain of his own college team has not yet been discharged from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, Snape rarely caused trouble for Harry. The class ended peacefully.

"Now everyone is afraid that someone else will be attacked," Harry said worriedly on the way to the auditorium for dinner: "I heard Seamus say that if Professor Dumbledore fails to find the murderer, Hogwarts will even Might be forced to close by the Ministry of Magic."

It turned out that he was worried about this, Andre suddenly realized, but before he could say anything to comfort him, Ron said carelessly: "Don't worry, Fudge doesn't dare to let Dumbledore close the school. He can take the position of Minister of Magic." The position depends on our principal not being interested in that position at all."

This is true. After Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, his reputation in the wizarding world was at its peak. If he wanted to be the Minister of Magic in the United Kingdom, no one could stop him.

But after the first-generation Dark Lord, who was both friend and enemy, was imprisoned in Nurmengard, and his sister Ariana died unexpectedly, Dumbledore lost all interest in rights. This led to Fudge, a man of mediocre ability, ascending to the throne of minister.

"But..." Harry had no idea what Ron was talking about. All he could see was what was happening in Hogwarts Castle. "Everyone is very scared now. If it's like Seamus said, His mother asks him to leave school, and he probably won’t refuse.”

Regarding this, it may not be just Seamus's problem. Except for those little Muggle-born wizards or orphans like Harry and Andre, most parents who learn the news will have such a reaction.

Since Voldemort disappeared, the British wizarding world has been at peace for too long. Even many adult wizards can't even cast a Iron Armor Curse. When they know that a student in their children's school has been attacked by the Cruciatus Curse, it will be very difficult for them. It’s hard not to feel fear.

"Unless Professor McGonagall and the others can catch the murderer as soon as possible and find Jerome," Hermione also said distressedly, "otherwise everyone will definitely become more and more afraid."

"Yeah..." Andre nodded, "I think after tomorrow, after the news in the castle spreads, some parents may send a roaring letter to Professor Dumbledore."

"How is it possible!?" Ron exclaimed in surprise: "Who would do that? Professor Dumbledore is the greatest white wizard in England, no, it should be said to be the world. Who dares to send him a roaring letter?"

Andre smiled and did not argue with Ron about this issue. Wait until tomorrow, and he will find out how crazy the parents of those students are.

Of course, they can't blame them for this. After all, there have been so many accidents in the school. As parents of little wizards, worry and anger are inevitable.

"Perhaps we can think of another way. Didn't the portraits give us so many clues last time? Maybe the person who attacked Flint is actually on the list we wrote before." Hermione rolled her eyes and suddenly said.

But Andre doesn't think this is a good idea. The first target they chose, Marion Jerome, has disappeared inexplicably. It is still unclear whether this happened because of their investigation.

If another student disappears from the castle, the little wizards who are already in panic will no longer be able to sit in the classroom and learn magic knowledge with peace of mind.

"We should not act rashly for the time being," so he said to the little witch: "At least we have to wait until Flint wakes up completely. I have inquired with Sirius. Although he has been hit by the Cruciatus Curse, his current situation does not count. It's particularly serious. Maybe the person who cast the spell on him is not strong enough. Anyway, the therapist at St. Mungo's said that he can regain his consciousness in as little as a week and as long as a month."

"But if this continues, I don't think Neville will dare to leave Gryffindor Tower alone." Hermione said frustratedly.

Andre also sighed. He was about to say that they couldn't solve this problem, but suddenly he thought of an idea, "Wait a minute, maybe I have a way."

"What can we do?" Harry and the three of them turned to look at him.

But Andre gave up: "Let's have lunch first, and then go find Sirius later. This method will only work if he helps."
