Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 668 The Perfect Coordination Between the Bad Old Man and the Cat
When Williamson arrived at Hogsmeade Village with Dumbledore, the whole village was noisy, and everyone complained in one go, expressing strong disapproval for Kingsley and the others for waking themselves up from sleep. dissatisfied.

But Kingsley and the others didn't have the time to break up with them at this time. After driving them away from the Shrieking Shack, the remaining four Aurors were on the only path leading to the Shrieking Shack from the village. Standby...

As for the tunnel leading to Hogwarts, they have already destroyed it with magic.

However, after waiting for a while, the basilisk did not appear. After thinking for a moment, Kingsley summoned his lynx patron saint and flew to the Screaming Shack.

The lynx Patronus circled the Shrieking Shack before flying back safe and sound.

"It seems that the basilisk has left?" Kingsley said uncertainly.

"How's the situation, Kingsley?" Just then, Dumbledore and Williamson came to him.

"The basilisk doesn't seem to have any intention of coming to the village." Kingsley glanced at Dumbledore and said with a little dissatisfaction, "Do you know what's going on? Dumbledore, why did the basilisk come to the village?" Appeared in the Shrieking Shack?"

"It's hard for me, Kingsley." Dumbledore shook his head, "The Screaming Shack was only used to transform Remus during the full moon. After he graduated, No one used it anymore... oh, he used it for a while when he went back to school as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor the year before last."

There are other Aurors present at the moment, and of course Dumbledore cannot tell the truth.

"Remus? Remus Lupine?" Williamson was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "So that's it! Now the time is right! After I knew that Lupine was a werewolf, I wondered where he was. Where did you hide and transform when you were in school?"

"Clap clap clap clap..."

Just then, a series of piercing explosions sounded, and Cornelius Fudge and a group of Aurors Apparated nearby.

"How's the situation?!" Fudge, who was sweating profusely, asked anxiously as soon as he appeared, "There were no casualties, right?!"

"There have been no new victims for the time being," Kingsley replied in a deep voice: "I just used the patron saint to test it, and the basilisk seems to be gone, or it may not have any desire to attack."

"That's good..." Cornelius Fudge breathed a sigh of relief, then snapped back to his senses, and asked nervously, "You said 'new'? Has anyone been attacked?"

"It's Umbridge, Minister." Kingsley frowned and said, "If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have alarmed that basilisk at all..."

He briefly told Fudge what had happened in the Shrieking Shack before, and Williamson added a few words from the side from time to time.

Once again Fudge was relieved to hear that only one Umbridge had been lost.

But...he felt that something was wrong...

Is it a bit of a coincidence?Everyone else is fine, only the instigator suffered...

But now is not the time to think about these things. If a basilisk really comes out to make trouble, it will be a big trouble!
"Albus...you look at this..." When encountering difficulties, Cornelius Fudge remembered Dumbledore's goodness again. He looked over with some embarrassment, and then raised his righteousness: "If the snake If the monster escapes, the situation will be unimaginable."

"Even if you don't say it, I will do it." Dumbledore said lightly: "Choose two Aurors to follow me, let's go over together to have a look first, there are too many people, I'm worried about angering it."

"That's right! That's right!" Fudge nodded again and again, as if he had become Dumbledore's answering person again, "Kingsley, Dawlish, you two follow Albus to have a look! Be careful!"

After a while, the three returned, and brought back the petrified Umbridge.

"What's the matter? Has the basilisk been solved?" Fudge quickly approached Dumbledore and asked urgently. He didn't even bother to look at Umbridge, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"The basilisk is no longer there." Dumbledore shook his head, and then said to himself with some doubts: "Is that really a basilisk..."

"What do you mean?" I don't know if it's because the basilisk is gone, or because Dumbledore's questioning provoked a certain nerve, Fudge became tough again, and he asked dissatisfiedly: "Do you think magic Are the Aurors in the Ministry lying?"

"Don't be impatient, Connelly." Dumbledore didn't take it seriously, he smiled faintly, and explained: "I didn't doubt what Kingsley and the others meant... It's just that, from Umbridge's Judging from the situation, the snake is not quite like the legendary basilisk."

Dumbledore was also secretly thankful at this time. Fortunately, he had blocked the news about the basilisk, and Professor McGonagall had always restrained Fish, preventing him from showing off with Ouroboros.

"Umbridge?" Fudge then turned his attention to Umbridge who was lying on the ground, motionless. "Is she not dead yet?"

"No, she was just petrified, it should be some kind of very powerful black magic." Dumbledore explained: "If it was a basilisk, even if she didn't intend to eat Umbridge, she shouldn't be here now. state."

When Mrs. Norris was petrified, only a few people knew about it. Most of the students only knew that it was attacked, but they didn't know the specific circumstances.

And those who know the situation will basically not betray Fish. Lockhart, the only one who might leak the secret, is still in Azkaban, so Dumbledore is not worried at all that Fudge will confuse this matter with several people. It is linked to an incident of attacking a cat years ago.

"Besides, the basilisk will appear near the village, which is not in line with its habits. You must know that there are people who raise chickens in the village." Dumbledore said again.

"Raising chickens? What does this have to do with basilisks?" Fudge didn't know why.

It was Dawlish who explained softly in his ear: "According to records, the crowing of a rooster is fatal to a basilisk."

Dumbledore nodded approvingly at Dawlish, and said, "That's right, Dawlish. I remember that your NEWT test scores seem to have reached 'excellent'. It seems that you have not learned what you learned in school. Give it back to Sylvanus."

Then he turned to Fudge again, and continued to divert his thoughts: "So I think what Kingsley and the others saw was probably just a snake that had been cast with an expansion spell, probably a dark wizard hiding in the Doing dangerous research in the Screaming Shack, after all, it is indeed a good hiding place..."

"Of course, just in case, you'd better have someone search the area, Connelly." Seeing that Fudge was deep in thought, Dumbledore added a suggestion.

"Don't order me!" Fudge, who is very sensitive to such things, growled at Dumbledore dissatisfied: "I know what to do!"

Dumbledore shrugged nonchalantly.

then……

"Kingsley, take the others to look for the snake carefully!" Fudge ordered with a dark face.

If it weren't for this matter being closely related to his position, he would not want to follow Dumbledore's suggestion as a minister of the Ministry of Magic!
"Dawlish, you take Umbridge and come back with me!"

Fudge didn't want to stay by Dumbledore's side any longer, so he directly disapparated and left.

　I have thought about tossing Umbridge too much, but this is not in line with Maomao's character.

　　With Maomao's personality, if someone offends him, he will not hold grudges after being taught a lesson, at most, he will not show any good looks when encountering him in the future.

　　If Fish cared too much about Umbridge, it would have flattered her, so that was it.
