Alchemy professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 100 Neville's Secret Mission

After watching the contents of the memory projector, the task force office fell into silence.

"Sorry, maybe I'm old..." Professor Sprout clasped his hands on his chest, "I didn't see it very clearly."

Snape looked at his records on the parchment, "I should have sorted out the content of the dream."

He said in his indifferent and gentle tone: "Nicholas and Ellie, two Muggle brothers and sisters, took the London subway to attend Aunt Mary's wedding."

"However, during the subway ride, disaster struck and a flame engulfed everyone in the train."

"Am I right? Professor Ollivander?" Snape leaned back on the chair and crossed his hands.

At the speech table, Hardy smiled slightly, "Professor Snape is right, Neville Longbottom played Nicholas Highmore in the dream."

He waved his wand, and the stack of parchment piled on his desk fell in front of the other four one after another.

"Here, I will follow what Professor Snape said, and add a little more."

"According to the current situation, all the little wizards with drowsiness symptoms are likely to be caught in the cycle of the London subway in their dreams at night."

“他们每次都会在1898年5月27日的上午9点整出现在伦敦地铁上，然后15分钟后，因为一片火焰袭来而死亡。”

Tapping his fingers on the desktop of the speech booth, Hardy said: "I guess, if you want to get rid of this cycle that occurs in dreams, it is very likely to prevent the disaster on the London subway from happening, just like the novel "The Beginning". "

"The novel "The Beginning"?" Professor Sprout and Madam Pomfrey looked at each other, and the latter couldn't help asking: "Can you tell us something about it? What is in that novel?"

Hardy nodded, "Of course, in the novel "The Beginning", the hero and heroine keep waking up on a bus that is about to explode."

"They need to stop the catastrophe from happening and save the lives of the whole car to get out of this cycle."

"If it doesn't work out, then they're going to go back to the time before the explosion after they've had a bus explosion and died themselves."

Hardy finally added: "This is just a rough overview of the story, and it doesn't represent the whole story."

"so--"

Professor McGonagall put down the parchment in his hand, "Now those 25 children are caught in this cycle in their dreams every night?"

"Then we should try to help them and prevent disasters in their dreams," Professor Sprout said.

She sighed, "There are quite a few people in that carriage, even pregnant women and babies."

"But that's all Muggles," Snape said coldly.

Professor McGonagall glanced at the other party, "Professor Snape, if we have the ability to prevent a disaster, we shouldn't choose to turn a blind eye just because the victims are all Muggles."

"I believe that if Principal Dumbledore were here today, he would come to the same conclusion as me."

With a soft snort, Snape changed the subject and said, "So, now we are going to help Longbottom prevent the disaster from happening in his dream?"

Hardy returned to his seat, "I'm afraid so, Professor Snape, this is the only thing we can do at the moment."

Looking down at the detailed description on the desktop, Professor McGonagall exclaimed: "Professor Ollivander, as the Minister of Magic once mentioned, you really have amazing acumen in terms of crime."

She looked at the few people present, "If you don't mind, I would like to appoint Professor Ollivander as the deputy leader of our group."

"Of course, it would be great." Professor Sprout nodded. "Without him, I'm still at a loss."

"I agree with this decision." Madam Pomfrey smiled.

Professor McGonagall looked at Snape one last time.

The other party raised his chin slightly, "Then let us see what Professor Ollivander is capable of."

Facing the appointment of Professor McGonagall, Hardy did not refuse.

For this dream cycle event, he is also eager to try.

"If it is really some kind of alchemy product that triggered this dream cycle, then I must find it out and study it carefully."

Afterwards, Hardy and Professor McGonagall jointly decided that recently, every three days, they would check Neville's progress in the dream cycle in the conference room.

After the meeting, Hardy found Neville who was having lunch in the auditorium.

"Professor, you mean... let me try to prevent the disaster in the dream?" Neville scratched his head in surprise.

"Yes, Mr. Longbottom, you only have 15 minutes at a time."

Hardy simply told the other party about the dream cycle event, "Mr. Longbottom, now it's up to you to solve the trouble for everyone."

He patted Neville on the shoulder, "I hope you can keep this matter a secret, and other professors will be your solid backing."

Facing the secret mission handed over by Hardy, Neville seemed extremely excited, "I...I never thought of this..."

He was stuttering, Yuanyuan's face flushed very red.

"Mr. Longbottom, are you ready to be the protagonist?" Hardy smiled.

Clenching his fists tightly, Neville was shaking with excitement, "I'm ready...Professor Ollivander!"

in the afternoon.

Hardy left Hogwarts and made an appointment with Brayden Smith at the Leaky Cauldron.

"It's a great honor. This is the first time you have asked me out."

Braden, still wearing a shiny black trench coat, sat down in front of Hardy.

"The bloody wine I ordered for you." At the edge of the bar, Hardy slid the scarlet glass in front of the other party.

"Oh, thanks." Braden took a big sip from his cup, and then put a bulging leather bag on the table.

"Fortunately, you notified early," Braden said with a smile: "If it was later, these materials would be completely locked in the filing cabinet and could not be retrieved."

Hardy opened the leather bag and briefly glanced at the contents.

It was what he had seen before, the relevant information about the London Underground accident in 1898.

The stories in the dream cycle highly overlap with the accidents that happened in reality, and Hardy didn't think it was a coincidence.

There must be some unknown connection here.

At that time, the Auror Office concluded that due to the illegal driving of the Muggle conductor, the train partially derailed and the carriage caught fire and exploded.

But judging from Neville's experience in the dream loop, there seems to be something else behind the accident.

"How long can I look at these things?" Hardy resealed the leather bag and asked.

"Whatever, it's all irrelevant anyway. This kind of thing is almost 100 years ago. Even if it is lost, no one will care."

Braden waved his hand. He gulped down the bloody wine in his glass and let out admiration from time to time.

After bringing the 1898 London Underground accident back to Hogwarts, Hardy quickly skimmed through it.

I also have a general understanding of the composition of the victims on the carriage.

In that list, Hardy saw the names of two brothers and sisters, Nicholas Highmore and Allie Highmore.

"Could it be that this dream cycle event happened because some people hoped that the truth of the accident back then would be completely revealed?"

Hardy's eyes flickered, and he lay on the single sofa, thinking quietly.
