My classmate at Hogwarts is Voldemort

Chapter 319 Sykes' Redemption
"If you ask me, those German wizards are untrustworthy. They are as crazy as the Muggles there. They are all warmongers!" The wizard next to Professor Sykes said indignantly, it seemed that he was still concerned about current affairs Man, it’s a pity that it can be heard from his desire to express that he only knows a little bit, and his knowledge is as trusting as his mouth, “If this Muggle attack on Hogwarts is not a conspiracy by Grindelwald, then I will walk upside down in the future .”

"Sir," Professor Sykes saw Professor Slughorn looking for him from a distance out of the corner of his eye. In order to integrate into the team, she carried the sign on her shoulder and turned to chat with the wizard, "If this The fact is really Grindelwald's conspiracy, so you marched with them like this, isn't it fulfilling his wish?"

"What are you talking about?" The wizard who was robbed of his brand frowned and said, "But I have to say that Grindelwald really caught our pain points, why should we fight with some low-level people who can't even use magic People share this world? Although I don’t know what conspiracy he has, but seizing this opportunity is just...how should I put it? Seeking skin from a tiger?”

He seems to be quite concerned about his own society and current affairs and politics, but unfortunately, his gradually stuttering words exposed his short-sightedness, and too many people in this large team have the same understanding as him, which is It is also one of the reasons why this group of "revelers" can get together.

"If Grindelwald really has any conspiracy, then it can't be said to be seeking skin from a tiger, it can only be called drinking poison to quench thirst," Professor Sykes smiled in his heart, but he couldn't even understand what he said. Conspiring with Grindelwald's skin?She smiled and shook her head, "Sir, as far as I know, Grindelwald hates Muggles the most. Even if he cooperates with werewolves, he will never go to Muggles to make any conspiracy."

"Maybe..." The wizard laughed, his attention was not on Professor Sykes at first, even though she took away his sign, but as she kept singing the opposite tune, his expression changed From frenzy to deep thought, and then became ashamed and angry, he whispered, "You are from Grindelwald, right? If you speak for him like this, you must be in the same group as those guys who made the water curtain yesterday!"

Professor Sykes's eye-opening was the skillful way of putting on the hat after the characterization. She raised the sign in her hand, pulled her hair around her ears, and smiled, "Sir, how is it possible? Look, We have the same thought."

"You better know!" The wizard saw that Professor Sykes was subdued, and Jokunda's good looks made him feel close to him. He quickly forgave this ignorant little girl and used a The assistant said in a tone of education, "Don't forget who you are!"

"Of course, against the Secrecy Act!"

Professor Sykes held up the sign and shouted a few more words, and continued, "I heard that the Ministry of Magic and Grindelwald have reached some kind of cooperation, and he will definitely not demolish himself at this time, so this incident and Nurmengard doesn't seem to have any direct connection."

"Oh? Is that so?" The wizard pondered for a moment, as if he had found some treasure, his eyes lit up. Seeing this, Professor Sykes squeezed into the crowd, circled around the human wall and the approaching Slugher Professor En went in circles.

The wizard finally came to his senses. He looked around and found that Professor Sykes was no longer there, but he couldn't hold back his rapidly expanding desire to share. He pulled a wizard beside him and added emphatically, "You know Is it? The Ministry of Magic and Grindelwald have cooperated!"

"Really?" The wizard who was baptized by the news was also taken aback, when the wizard turned to the other side of the team, he did the same, and brought a companion to say mysteriously, "You know what? The Ministry of Magic has made peace with Grindelwald!"

"Did you know? Grindelwald has already infiltrated to influence the decision-making of the Ministry of Magic, which is why the people from the Ministry of Magic did not stop it when the scene was played here yesterday."

"Did you know? Half of the officials in the Ministry of Magic are from Grindelwald! My friend in the Ministry told me this!"

"Did you know that the Minister of Magic, Nobby Rich, is just Grindelwald's puppet."

"do you know……"

Professor Sykes was humming, pretending to be chewing something, imitating the image of his sister very vividly, holding up a sign from time to time and shouting a few slogans that she thought were extremely stupid, while crossing the crowd, observing Not far away was Professor Slughorn, who made the crowd murmur by identifying pedestrians one by one.

"You can't find me, Horace." Her lips moved, as if a transparent bubble had been blown by her. "Against the Secrecy Act!"

As the parade grew and moved, she also casually walked in Diagon Alley, and would soon approach the entrance of Knockturn Alley, where there was an escape route specially prepared for smugglers, but she did not approach at all Meaning, not only because there are Aurors blocking the entrance, but also because she wants to take this opportunity to completely cut off her connection with those speculators. Although the days of Hogwarts are really memorable, but stay If you go down, you may face prison.

The Sykes family is one of the oldest magical animal breeding families in the world. For hundreds of years, their shipments of Winged Demon Venom have also occupied the bulk of the world's supply. Poisons are extremely rare and extremely dangerous and therefore closely monitored, but the sudden death of the sisters' father brought the whole family to the brink of destruction. At this time, a man who claimed to be his father's old friend - Borgin Bock approached the door , he promised to help Professor Sykes sell what they had left, but the price was that Venom would have nothing to do with the Sykes family when the goods reached them.

Professor Sykes relied on this batch of poison to drag his infant sister through the most difficult years, but what she never expected was that Borgin Burke was a real businessman. In order to make money, he even Even life can be used as a bargaining chip, and the object of his long-term supply is Second Salem in the United States.

And the use of this batch of poison, in addition to allowing Second Salem to control some people with energy among Muggles, is also used to harm more wizards-kidnapping little wizards, controlling some adult wizards, and using their Not every wizard is vigilant all the time. Although the work of Second Salem is not going smoothly, it is indeed advancing slowly.

When Professor Sykes got older and even became a professor at Hogwarts, and her younger sister was about to graduate, she finally knew what good things Borgin Burk had done for so many years. The "old friend"'s trust was in return for the endless coercion and oppression a few years ago. He tore off the mask of a kind elder, and used her black history of helping Muggles to harm wizards to force her to do more wrong things.

And the wise Melissa Sykes was rarely stupid when it came to her sister. She chose to make peace and seek a chance to get out.

In order to relieve her sister's worries, Jokunda once thought about flying away, but after several attempts, she was "sent" back by speculators with many eyeliners. She even rode a broomstick to the United States, although she happened to fall into the saint But she was also the first witch to cross the ocean on a broomstick.

During that time, Professor Sykes even felt that everyone in Hogwarts was brought by Bojin Burk to spy on her. She didn't understand why a raw material made him have such a big heart, but she had already interrupted Give up, wait until my younger sister graduates, and let it go for a lifetime, but Jokunda didn't let her worry for too long. A few years ago, on a night when speculators came to pick up the goods, I always heard my sister chanting "if It’s fine without the Winged Demon.” She threw the only remaining Winged Demon in the family into the black backpack behind a passing little wizard, and this is the story that happened later.

Since then, the relationship between her and those speculators headed by Borgin Bock has dropped to a freezing point, but she doesn't care, Aberforth sent Jokunda to the United States in a crooked manner, and she was finally able to say "out of the world". That's all the volume, unless you get me a new Winged Demon" or something like that.

At this time, she was surprised to find that she had become the price-setter in this transaction, but even so, no matter how much Bojin Bok assured, promised or pleaded, her thoughts of withdrawing had become more and more serious.

Until not long ago, when two black magic collectors from foreign countries destroyed half of Knockturn Alley almost by themselves, she seized the opportunity and cut off the supply of poison in time, but she did not expect to lose her wings The Second Salem supplied by the devil's venom will give up accumulating strength and choose to put all his eggs in one basket. This is also the beginning of so many things that happened afterwards.

And Borgin Bock's black industrial chain finally surfaced, why does he value so much Muggle clients that everyone doesn't care about, why is the Winged Demon so important to him, because he can use its venom From Second Salem in exchange for a more expensive commodity - people.

Whether it's the weird ghost corpses buried downstairs in his shop, or those powerful forbidden drugs, or even some black magic products, their raw materials are all human beings, sent by Second Salem one by one tormented insane. Some unqualified little wizards, some of them have grown up, but they are neither wizards nor Muggles, Bojin Burke has no burden to attack them, and he has some important clients, they are high-ranking, These "good products" that cannot be bought on the market are just in need.

When the Second Salem struck, she, who was very familiar with the law and wizards, knew that whether she shirked responsibility or strictly punished her, she would not be able to escape from prison. A perfect timing that no one would have thought of.

Thinking of this, Professor Sykes put her hands in her pockets, and she wished she could shoot at the entrance of Knockturn Alley and blow up the whole alley. He has a serious criminal record, and hates him for ruining his peaceful life.

"Did you know? Grindelwald is going to be the Minister of Magic!" Suddenly, an old and greasy voice broke her thinking, and an old witch came over and said mysteriously, "It is said that he himself is a vampire. , I have some amulets here to expel vampires, and seeing that the little girl is as beautiful as when I was young, I am willing to sell you some cheaply."

"Thank you, but I'm a vampire." Professor Sykes lowered his head, his red eyes were breathtaking, "Are you sure you want to sell me this thing?"

"..."

The old hag showed a swiftness that was completely incompatible with her youth, clutching her neck, and disappeared into the crowd like a loach.

The parade team got bigger and bigger. Suddenly, someone in the queue shouted, "Why are we protesting on our own site? Are we protesting for ourselves?"

"I think we should let Muggles know who their master is!"

"Going out of Tom's pub is Muggle London, let's go there! Let these self-righteous guys see the real power!"

Professor Sykes followed the humans approaching the Leaky Cauldron when a group of uniformed Aurors suddenly appeared in front of them blocking the way.

"Are you Muggle dogs!" Someone in the crowd shouted angrily, but the front row of the line stopped, and the Aurors raised their wands, and they didn't dare to take a step forward.

"What a giant of language," Professor Sykes sneered, hid his wand in his cuff, gently pushed the wizard in front of him, and stuffed the wooden sign into his hand by the way. This wizard was about Grindelwald. When the minister of the Ministry of Magic was the instigator of this drumming, he only felt as if he had been hit by a horse, and then he rushed forward vigorously. The crowd fell forward like a half of dominoes. When the force was transmitted to the first row, they Looking like a warrior charging for power, Professor Sykes put away his wand and said, "It's a pity that he is only a dwarf in action."

"It's a pity, I hope that student won't be punished," Professor Sykes lowered his head, turning into an alley near the Leaky Cauldron, "Sorry, Albus."

……

"Sorry, Albus," Professor Slughorn slumped on the sofa in the principal's office, gulped down the honey water and put down the empty glass, he said annoyedly, "really, the one in Diagon Alley There were so many people, they even broke out with the Aurors!"

"They really did it? The parade people?" Dumbledore frowned, and refilled Professor Slughorn's water, which was already his fifth glass. "How could it be?"

"Who knows?" Professor Slughorn patted the armrest of the sofa and asked, "Think about how to explain to the Ministry of Magic, yes, the secret passage."

"I asked Minerva to take Nelson and Tom to seal it up," Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, "Nelson seems to have thought of something."

"Speaking of which, I still know the secret passage." Professor Slughorn patted his thigh and said, "I saw it when I was in school, you know it too!"

"Why do I need to know?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"Isn't this your Gryffindor project?" Professor Slughorn's expression became more curious, "You don't even know? That's right, you are a good student, Carter, do you know? golfer."

"Ah."

"Once when I went to the Forbidden Forest to find some herbs, I happened to see him digging a hole there," Professor Slughorn recalled. "The tunnel was less than ten meters at the time. Graduates of the Academy left him."

"So long?" Dumbledore also had a look of memory on his face.

"Of course," Professor Slughorn picked up the honey water on the table and drank it in one gulp, "I thought that with his graduation, that secret passage might really just become a pit that ended without a problem, and was finally covered by fallen leaves. Fill it in, and now it looks like he probably left it for another Gryffindor freshman."

"And it has been worn down from generation to generation."

"Finally got through this year," sighs Professor Slughorn. "It's been decades."

"I'm a little……"

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I was just thinking, why do other colleges inherit such honors," Dumbledore said with a toothache, "but our Gryffindor inheritance is a tunnel leading to the outside of the school."

"Then I suggest you recruit Blake from our college into Gryffindor."

"Ahem." Phineas protested dissatisfied.

"Albus," Slytherin's voice suddenly sounded, "you are the headmaster, not the head of Gryffindor, not to mention, the glory of Gryffindor is much heavier than that of other houses."

"Sorry, I was just joking." After Dumbledore said this, the office suddenly fell into a strange silence.

"Albus, here they come!"

A silver helmet rolled out of the fireplace and roared at Dumbledore.
