Chapter 570 Devil

Monday, April 20, 1992.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Great Hall.

This is the first day after the Easter holiday. According to the usual practice in previous years, the festive decorations previously arranged in the auditorium and the school castle will not disappear for the time being. They will not be removed by the house elves until after the end of the day. take away.

However, when the little wizards yawned and walked into the auditorium sleepily, they found that the decorations in the entire auditorium had been completely cleared and replaced with the grand and solemn flags in the colors of the four colleges that only appeared when the school started. .

All the faculty and staff were sitting neatly at the end of the long table. They saw Elena and a few little witches walking into the auditorium. "Albus Dumbledore" who was sitting in the middle of the faculty seat grinned and looked at the girl. He smiled and winked.

On the other end, Professor "Otto Apocalypse" seemed a little more silent than usual, his eyes fell on the golden and red Gryffindor college flag, seeming to be thinking about something - Elena's eyes flickered. After a moment, it seemed that Peter Pettigrew's reversal and what happened last night had a big impact on the old man's heart.

After all... that is Gryffindor, the righteous one.

Except for the two old wizards, the faces of the professors at the staff table were all extremely solemn. Professor Snape, who was sitting next to Professor McGonagall, looked gloomier than before. Aura, eyes wandering over to Gryffindor from time to time, not sure whether he is looking at the Weasley brothers or looking for Harry.

In any case, Professor Snape is one of the key targets who needs to be strictly guarded today. After all, as the trial proceeds, Elena is worried that the half-blood prince will suddenly lose control of his emotions and pull out his wand towards Peter Pettigrew. Say a curse.

In addition, I don’t know if the Ministry of Magic and the goblins will cause some unexpected variables——

Elena thought quietly, repeatedly simulating and deducing in her mind, whether there are any variables that may cause bad consequences that have not been taken into account, and in the worst case scenario, the spacecraft that has been renamed "Huberlian" Can the ship jump to Hogwarts as soon as possible and form a strong fire blockade in local areas?

At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly stood up from the staff table, attracting everyone's attention.

"The Easter vacation is over," Dumbledore looked at everyone calmly and said, "According to the school's teaching plan, you should continue to have a happy and fulfilling study time as normal starting today, but..."

He stopped talking, and his eyes with a hint of evil intent wandered among the students in the school whose morale had suddenly dropped. The warm and kind smile on his face did not change at all, as if he was enjoying this immature youth trouble.

"Cough!" Professor Otto Apokalis made a somewhat abrupt cough.

"only……"

Dumbledore glanced at the old wizard sitting at the end, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and continued unhurriedly.

"Due to some unexpected circumstances, I have to regret to inform everyone that this morning's class has been temporarily canceled..."

"Just yesterday, a wizard who had long been thought dead reappeared in Hogwarts. His name is Peter Pettigrew, a former recipient of the Order of Merlin, First Class. Whether you know him or not, But after today, the entire magical world will have heard of this name, because he almost changed the direction of the entire world."

"With his 'resurrection', the truth about many major magical events that have been concluded or have been suspended for a long time has begun to surface - each of them is extremely bad and is enough to subvert our existing beauty. A conspiracy to live in peace.”

Amidst the whispers of the students, Dumbledore paused for a few seconds and continued unmoved.

"The Ministry of Magic may not want me to tell you this. After all, you are still young, and the conspiracies that occur in the wizarding world and Hogwarts seem to be very far away from you. However, I firmly believe that walking in the right direction On the road to success, understanding what is right is far more meaningful than mastering a few more magic spells and getting a few more points in exams."

"So, in my opinion, this is an extremely important and profound life lesson. I hope that everyone can learn something from it after witnessing everything, not to blindly follow, not to be gullible, to stand firm, and not to be hated. Blind your mind. After breakfast, please go to the Quidditch pitch under the leadership of the prefects - to witness this public trial witnessed by wizards from Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic and the entire wizarding world."

Looking around at the excited little wizards, Dumbledore smiled slightly.

There is no doubt that for these little guys who have not experienced too many hardships and social pressures, conspiracy, disaster, betrayal... these are still too far away from them. In the world of children, as long as they can avoid going to class, Just the best news.

However, this time they were a little too happy for the time being.

Looking at the students who were whispering to each other and almost celebrating, "Dumbledore" smiled gently.

"By the way, after this judgment day, all students must write a review of no less than 2,000 words... Among them, the number of words for students in the sixth and seventh grade will be doubled, and it will be handed in to each college-level director next Monday. By the way. In addition, the parents of some students will arrive at the school in a while, and we will remind the parents to provide guidance on your comments."

"Oh, no..."

"Professor Dumbledore, you have changed. You were not such a devil before!"

"I want to study, study! Study!"

Along with the wailing sounds throughout the auditorium, the smile on Dumbledore's face became brighter. The old wizard took a deep breath, raised his hands as usual, and clapped his palms gently, "Then, Breakfast begins.”

…

On the other side, London, the British Ministry of Magic.

The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is the largest department in the Ministry of Magic and the most important one among the many departments in the Ministry of Magic. It occupies the entire second floor of the Ministry of Magic headquarters.

In fact, if we strictly calculate the actual space, it is almost equivalent to the sum of other departments.

The entire Department of Magical Law Enforcement includes the Auror Office, the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Magic, the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, the Magical Law Enforcement Team, the Wizengamot UK Branch, the Wizengamot Management Agency, and Counterfeit Defense Spells and Protective Supplies The Investigation and Collection Office... is equivalent to a collection of police, military and judicial departments.

Follow the elevator to the door, pass through two heavy oak doors, and you can see the busy Auror headquarters.

Further inside, there are departments such as the Magical Law Enforcement Team and the Office for Prohibiting the Abuse of Magic. Each department has a row of file cabinets on both sides of the room that are almost overflowing. It is obvious that working here is not an easy job.

But at this time, most of the wizards had stopped what they were doing and gathered in the corridors and halls, looking at the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge standing at the door of the elevator, and the Director of the Executive Department Amelia beside him. A. Bones.

Cornelius Fudge looked livid, holding a letter in his hand, and his whole person exuded a murderous aura that he had never seen before.
