Alchemy professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 116 Cross-dressing Dinner Party (seeking monthly ticket)
Silent people are another special group after Muggles, wizards, and Squibs.

Unlike Squibs, who cannot cast magic, Obscures have the ability to cast magic, but instinctively suppress the power within themselves.

This situation is often seen when wizards were discriminated against and persecuted by Muggles in their childhood, which led to hatred of their own magical powers.

In the old days, wizards were often hunted by Muggles, and Obscures were much more common than in modern times.

However, as the wizarding and Muggle worlds separated and children were no longer forced to hide their magical powers, the number of Obscures dwindled.

According to Serafina Pickering, president of the Magical Congress of America, the Obscures had completely disappeared from the United States by 1926.

The British Ministry of Magic also announced the same conclusion very early on.

"The ancient goblin discovered the method of making a dream ball imitation from the Obscure, maybe——the mysterious man got it."

"But it's impossible," said Professor McGonagall.

Dumbledore looked at everyone in the office, "Yeah, how could he go back in time? Unless—"

"Time-Turner!" It was still Professor McGonagall who spoke, and she seemed quite surprised. "Oh, I didn't know there could be a Time-Turner that spans decades."

"There was a time when My-Know-Who was omnipotent." Snape's voice was low.

Hardy asked, "Then it's obvious why You-Know-Who didn't take the Dreamball replica now that it's finished."

This is another big question.

Nobody knows the answer.

"Maybe he had an accident while playing with time," Dumbledore blinked. "Those who play with time will always be punished as they should."

"Now we know that it was Ariana's shell bracelet that caused the dream loop," he said. "Ah, Hardy, speaking of which, do you have anything to add?"

"Yes, principal, the dream cycle has been broken, give me another night, and everything can be ended smoothly."

Dumbledore looked relieved, "That's great, when the children wake up, I will personally destroy Ariana's shell bracelet."

Hearing this, Professor Sprout couldn't help but sighed in mourning. Everyone knew how much Dumbledore loved the shell bracelet left by his sister.

After finishing the conversation in the office, everyone dispersed.

Dumbledore, who has just returned to school, still needs to deal with some things with Professor McGonagall.

For example: how to arrange an interview with the reporter of the "Daily Prophet" the day after tomorrow, it is very likely that Rita Skeeter will come, and she will never let this kind of news hotspot go.

In addition, in February, Lupine will also officially report and start his teaching of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

During the alchemy class in the afternoon, many people tried to ask Hardy about the situation of Ron and others.

"Everything will be fine, maybe tomorrow, you can see Mr. Weasley and the others come back, I promise."

With Professor Ollivander's guarantee, Hermione and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because up to now, the other party has never broken his promise to everyone.

At night, Hardy fell asleep with Arianna's relics again, and successfully entered the dream cycle.

Quickly skimming the previous plot, before the lame man walked into the bathroom, Hardy cast the tongue-locking spell and dragged him into the abandoned storage room.

It's a pity that the other party's mouth is too tight. Although Hardy used some methods, he couldn't make the other party spit out too much information.

However, there is one thing worth noting, that is, when Hardy mentioned the name "Tom Riddle", the other party's expression became obviously surprised and horrified.

In order to resolve Arianna's resentment smoothly, Hardy chose to give the lame man a combination package of the Cruciatus Curse and the Avada Kedavra Curse.

When the other party lay on the ground and stopped crying, Ariana appeared in front of Hardy again.

She hung her head sadly and muttered, "Thank you, Ollivander."

As soon as the words fell, the whole dream began to vibrate violently, and the positions began to collapse rapidly, turning into colorful chocolate beans one after another...

When Hardy opened his eyes again, Arianna's relic had been broken in two, and the shells were scattered on the ground.

Seeing the clear weather outside the window, under the sunlight, the snow covering the castle began to melt, his whole body felt indescribably relaxed.

The dream cycle event, so far, has finally come to a successful conclusion.

After returning Ariana's relics to Principal Dumbledore, there were bursts of cheers from time to time in the corridor.

"Welcome back our dear brother!" The Weasley twins set off gorgeous fireworks celebrating outside the infirmary.

Then happened to be seen by Professor Snape passing by, and after twenty points were deducted from Gryffindor, he was arrested and imprisoned for a day.

"Hey, you can't do this to us." George and Fred were mercilessly taken away by Snape with helpless eyes.

"How are you feeling?" Hermione asked, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes.

Stretching lazily, Ron patted his face lightly, "Oh, Merlin, to be honest, I feel extremely energetic now."

"That's great news," Harry put his arm around Ron's shoulders, "We've sorted out all the homework you left behind and put it in the dormitory for you."

Harry and Hermione exchanged snickering glances, and patted each other on the shoulder, "Oh, Ron, don't thank us, this is what friends should do."

"God—"

Hearing that there was still a lot of homework to be done, Ron immediately lowered his head. He waved his arms and shouted: "Thank you, I really appreciate you!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"That's great, that's great." After sending away all the little wizards in the infirmary, Madam Pomfrey wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief emotionally.

She watched the little wizards chasing and frolicking in the corridor, her eyes were gratified: "Look, this is the Hogwarts I love."

The next day, Rita Skeeter came to Hogwarts domineeringly with her assistants, with a posture that she would never stop until she found out big news.

However, Headmaster Dumbledore had already thought of a countermeasure.

When Hardy saw the other party's group returning angrily, he knew that Hogwarts would no longer be a hot topic in the "Daily Prophet" in the near future.

Lucius Malfoy's plan to get rid of Dumbledore failed again, and he sent back the awakened Draco with a livid face.

The expression on his face when he was leaving seemed to be announcing to everyone in the castle: "I will come back again!"

Now, the sun was starting to shine on Hogwarts again, and in the castle the mood was bright again.

The snow melted, and spring came, and green shoots emerged from the soil. Even the gloomy Forbidden Forest gradually became green at this moment.

Time soon came to February.

To celebrate the end of the dream cycle event and to welcome the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Dumbledore hosted an ingenious drag dinner in the Great Hall.

This is Hardy's suggestion to Dumbledore that the children can wear whatever costumes they like at the banquet.

In the auditorium, there is a sea of ​​exotic costumes, and every long college table is full of students.

Their faces, lit by the thousands of candles floating above the table, were discussing each other's attire.

Hermione's lace dress was covered with various tomes, which made Ron dazzled and had a headache.

Harry wore a robe full of constellations, which Mrs. Weasley had given him as a gift.

As for Ron, he simply put on his pajamas, although it was just a long pale white cloth, which looked as simple as a dining table with a hole in the middle.

"There's nothing more comfortable than putting me in my pajamas..." Ron muttered in the face of Crabbe and Goyle's laughter.

"Luna, your clothes are really special." At the dining table, Ginny looked at Luna beside her, and couldn't help opening her mouth.

The other party at the moment was wearing a furry lion cub doll costume, her head was lying quietly in the lion cub's open mouth.

"Thank you, Ginny, your jack-o'-lantern set is also very cute." Luna shook the big tail on the doll, which had been dipped in a lot of ketchup and cheese.
