Alchemy professor at Hogwarts

135 Jailbreak
After learning about the flaws of Wolfsbane Potion from Hardy, Professor Lupine turned and left with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, an imaginary silver phoenix fluttered its wings and almost hit Hardy's body.

That's Dumbledore's Patronus.

"Ah, Hardy, please come to my place," Dumbledore's voice came from the mouth of the illusory silver phoenix, "There is an urgent matter to discuss."

Office of the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

Professor McGonagall was talking with Dumbledore in a low voice with a worried expression.

"How is this possible?" Her mouth was pursed into a straight line, "No one has ever been able to escape from there."

"Minerva, I don't want to believe it either, but the Ministry of Magic has confirmed it again and again." Dumbledore's expression was solemn.

Professor McGonagall paced back and forth, "I suggested a long time ago that they shouldn't hand over the entire wizard prison to dementors!"

Dumbledore wanted to say something more, but he quickly raised his head and raised his wand, "Come in, Hardy."

The door opened, and as soon as Hardy walked in, he noticed the tense atmosphere in the office.

He looked at Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, raised his eyebrows slightly, "What happened?"

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall glanced at each other, and the former sent Hardy a chair, "Now, there is a bad news, which involves a lot."

Hardy looked confused.

"Azkaban," Dumbledore said solemnly, "someone tried to escape from Azkaban last night and managed to escape."

"This is a message from the Ministry of Magic just now." Dumbledore handed Hardy a thick stack of parchment.

After reading the information in his hand, Hardy raised his head and asked in surprise, "Sirius Black?"

Regarding this person, he had a hazy impression in his mind, as if the other person was locked in the core area of ​​Azkaban.

When Hardy was "studying" in Azkaban for two years, he had heard many prisoners and felt sincerely afraid of Sirius Black.

"Cruel assailant", "second ruthless devil", "terrible mad dog" and other titles for him emerge in endlessly.

Although compared to Hardy's titles, it is still slightly inferior.

Putting down the documents in his hand, Hardy frowned and asked, "How did he escape? Azkaban has a large number of dementors guarding it. It is extremely difficult to escape by yourself."

"Unless..." Hardy thought silently in his heart: "The other party also thought of the method he had figured out, but that is absolutely impossible."

Dumbledore's eyes flickered, "That's exactly what we and the Ministry of Magic want to know. Perhaps, someone else is secretly helping him."

In the office, Hardy immediately asked: "What impact will Sirius Black's escape have on Hogwarts?"

"Harry Potter." Professor McGonagall sighed with concern, "He may be in danger."

"Harry's parents died because Sirius revealed their whereabouts to the mysterious man," she said. "The Ministry of Magic strongly suspects that Black escaped from prison in order to kill Harry. Rise."

Hardy crossed his fingers, showing a thoughtful expression, "So, why did Principal Dumbledore ask me to come?"

"Oh, Hardy, the Ministry of Magic wants us to keep Harry Potter safe," said Dumbledore. "The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, will come to the school later to discuss specific matters."

"But to be on the safe side, Professor McGonagall and I still hope that you can make a suitable alchemy product for him as soon as possible."

Looking at the expectant eyes of the two, Hardy thought for a while, then nodded solemnly, "I will finish it as soon as possible."

After walking out of the principal's office, Hardy raised his wand, tied a note to an owl's paw, and let it fly.

Two hours later, Braden Smith and Hardy showed up at the Leaky Cauldron at the same time.

Turning the magic spell, the noisy sounds around him were quickly masked and faded away. Hardy tapped his fingers on the bar, "Braden, what is the specific situation of Black's escape from prison?"

The dusty Brayden blew the grit off his hat, "Oh my God, who the hell knows how he got out?"

"The room where he was held was blasted with a big hole, and the iron chains that bound his hands and feet seemed to have been melted by molten lava."

Braden recalled what he saw in the case file, "That night, the whole of Azkaban heard strange bird calls, which are said to be the natural enemies of dementors."

Swallowing the ice cubes in the glass in one breath, he continued: "All the evidence now points to a possibility."

"Someone else is helping Sirius Black with his escape."

From Braden, Hardy learned a lot of internal information, all of which were secrets that had not yet been disclosed.

Ever since the theft of the Levima sisters, Braden had recognized Hardy's identity as an undercover agent, and automatically imagined that the other party had a special mission.

So Brayden was defenseless when it came to disclosing the secrets of the case to Hardy.

Even in his heart, he was proud of his actions.

"When Hardy successfully completes his task, I will also be commended," he thought flatteringly.

Maybe it won't be long before he will be promoted to the deputy director of the Auror office?
My career future is really bright.

After saying goodbye to Braden at the Leaky Cauldron, Hardy made a quick return to Hogwarts.

He first went to Hagrid's hut, paid Agnes's food expenses with a large sum of Galleons, and bought a lot of magic materials by the way.

"Ha, you're going to make something new, right?" Hagrid said excitedly with his nose flushed, "I heard from Harry and the others that the magic forum you made is quite interesting."

He stroked his beard, "Then there are still people asking about hippogriffs, I'm so happy."

"Yes, Hagrid, alchemy is always inseparable from all kinds of magic materials," Hardy said as he stored all the things in the finger box, staring at the other party again.

He bent over and circled Hardy a few times, as if he wanted to know where the other party hid his things.

"It's amazing, you always surprise people, Professor Ollivander." Hagrid smirked.

"Next time we are free, let's go to the Forbidden Forest together," Hardy smiled slightly, "There must be treasures everywhere."

Hagrid widened his eyes. "Oh, that would be the best. To be honest, many professors don't want to go there."

"I'll introduce you to a lot of new friends then," Hagrid counted his thick fingers, "Billywig, Fluffy the Three-Headed Dog, Bowtruckle, Hinckle Punk, Tebow Warthog..."

"Ah, we must not forget about unicorns, hippogriffs, and thestrals are also very necessary..."

"Professor Ollivander? Professor Ollivander!"

After more than ten minutes, Hagrid remembered Hardy's existence. He raised his head and shouted, but the cabin was already empty.
