The Charles Becomes a Wizard

There is a book in the restricted section of the library, which is said to contain the secret of immortality.

This rumor spread quietly among the animals in Hogwarts without the knowledge of all the professors.

The rich historical heritage of Hogwarts added a lot of credibility to this rumor. Suddenly, curious little lions, keen little eagles, ambitious little snakes and some brave little badgers all took action. The number of people wandering in the castle at night increased suddenly, and the professors who patrolled every night could not catch them all.

At one point, there were so many small animals detained and confined in the professors' offices that they were overcrowded.

The professors were not unaware that the animals' behavior had been extremely abnormal during this period.

But on the one hand, it is normal for students to explore the restricted area at Hogwarts. On the other hand, the professors are busy teaching classes and grading homework every day. Some people, especially Professors Snape and Sprout, are also responsible for the supply of potions and herbal cultivation for the entire Hogwarts. They really don't have the time and energy to get to the bottom of every student who is caught wandering at night.

After a simple routine punishment, it was put aside.

As for Dumbledore? He was distracted by the news that Voldemort suddenly appeared in Austria, but even if he knew, he might not take it to heart.

After all, in his opinion, children act like children only when they are a little naughty and not bound by rules. It's just a night stroll. Almost everyone who graduated from Hogwarts has done this. It's really no big deal.

The book containing the spell that could make people immortal was not hidden very carefully, so many people found it. However, almost all the animals who had seen the spell kept silent about it after returning to the lounge, and even the closest people could not ask anything about it.

There were also some people who came from long-standing families and were particularly smart and realized the seriousness of the matter. They sent letters home and after receiving stern warnings from their parents, they completely calmed down.

Of course, this refers to the majority of people, which means there are still those who are confused and think they are special enough.

So, naturally, something went wrong.

The person in the accident was a third-year Ravenclaw, a Muggle-born girl with plain looks and a quiet personality. Her grades were not outstanding among Ravenclaws.

Just because she had a few words of quarrel with her best friend, she suddenly got angry and cast a spell of great destructive power on the people around her without hesitation. The little girl who was completely unprepared was knocked away. Even so, she was still not satisfied. She swept her sinister eyes over the little animals who were in a hurry to support her friend, listened to the shrill screams and accusations in her ears, and cast another string of spells.

Even when the professor who came and cast the petrification spell on him, his eyes were still red and his face was full of irritation and he looked almost crazy.

The professors used levitation spells to move the injured to the medical wing. The noisy group of people made Madam Pomfrey look very ugly.

"If anyone is not injured, please leave here immediately!" She shouted loudly, and like coaxing chicks, she drove away a group of small animals who wanted to know what happened.

The girl who was injured first was the most seriously injured and was already on the verge of death. After Madam Pomfrey cast a few check spells, she suggested that Dumbledore, who had rushed over, transfer the girl to St. Mungo's Hospital.

"Albus, I can save her life, but the wound on her face is too severe. Hogwarts doesn't have the right potion. If she is not transferred to St. Mungo's as soon as possible, she will be disfigured." said Madam Pomfrey.

"Oh, oh, Madam Pomfrey, don't worry." Dumbledore looked at the girl lying on the bed. "I believe in your medical skills. Is there really no other way?"

Snape, who was lagging far behind, sneered mockingly when he heard this.

As for Dumbledore, he didn't want this matter to become a big deal, and it would be best if the matter could be kept secret within Hogwarts.

He had no doubt that if this accident got out, he would face a lot of accusations. In fact, it would be fine if it was only directed at him. He was just afraid that the Ministry of Magic and the group headed by Malfoy would use this as an excuse to interfere in Hogwarts.

Harry has not received sufficient training, has not learned enough knowledge, and does not have the strength to support the title of savior, his expectations and his ideals.

Dumbledore certainly didn't want to create any trouble at this time.

"Albus!" Professor McGonagall looked at the old man standing in front of the bed in disbelief. He should know that Madam Pomfrey would never speak nonsense, but why...

"Minerva, I just want to confirm it again." Dumbledore didn't turn around, but reached out and patted the fence at the end of the bed twice.

Madam Pomfrey said sternly, "I insist."

"Okay, okay," Dumbledore sighed, "Minerva, please inform St. Mungo's and ask them to arrange a bed and a healer as soon as possible."

"By the way, don't forget to notify this student's parents."

The witch, who was honest by nature, opened her mouth and finally uttered: "Okay, Albus."

Although she didn't know why Dumbledore hesitated before, and although she felt that Dumbledore's reaction just now was a little too cold and ruthless, the habits and tacit understanding they had developed after working together for many years prevented her from easily questioning Dumbledore's decision.

She was very sure that no matter what Dumbledore did, it was all to protect the peace of the entire wizarding world.

Professor McGonagall pushed open the door of the hospital wing and was confronted by a group of small animals peeking out of the door.

"So, ladies and gentlemen, who can tell me what happened?" Dumbledore spoke before Madam Pomfrey could chase them away again.

The little animals who were caught red-handed pushed each other and no one spoke for a long time.

"I, we don't know what happened either..." Facing Dumbledore's loving and encouraging gaze, a Gryffindor in the crowd spoke first. "Things happened very quickly."

"I saw the two of them talking at first, and then they seemed to be arguing for no apparent reason."

Seeing someone taking the lead, others also started talking at the same time.

"After the argument, they somehow ended up fighting."

"I know they are very good friends." Xiaoying said. "They live in the same dormitory as me. They are inseparable and have never even had a fight."

"She was like crazy."

"Yes, suddenly I started casting spells aimlessly."

"Isn't that right? I saw several other injured people helping the first girl who fell."

"Can this also be considered a reason for being attacked?"

"Was she under some kind of spell? The veins on her face were bulging when she attacked."

"Alright, alright," seeing that their discussion was getting louder and the topic was straying further and further away, Dumbledore stretched out his hands and pressed them down.

"Thank you for your help, gentlemen and ladies. Could you please leave the hospital wing first? I think the injured need a quiet resting space." He suddenly winked at the small animals, "Besides, if you don't leave, Madam Pomfrey will be angry."
