Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 111 False Reports

Alton took Molin to Diagon Alley this time, and asked Molin to bring a wand on purpose. Even though minors cannot use magic outside, it is an exception in an emergency, let alone there is still a person outside who wants to use magic. Grab Maureen.

"You follow me closely, you can't lose it, if you see someone casting magic on you, you fight back immediately, it's okay, don't worry about things that can't cast magic outside the school, the most important thing is to protect yourself."

Alton looked around in the Leaky Cauldron, trying to find someone he knew to inquire about the attack on the student train yesterday.

Because Christmas is approaching, the Leaky Cauldron Bar is also decorated with many ribbons, and there are various stars floating in the sky. These stars will automatically float away when guests approach, and will not contaminate people. The whole bar is filled with The joy of Christmas.

Morin walked to the bar, where there was a copy of the "Daily Prophet". Not surprisingly, the incident of the burning of the Hogwarts train had already become an uproar, and it once again occupied the headlines. There were also photos of the scene, with bright red The flames had ignited the last carriage, and were still burning, and several Aurors were casting various extinguishing spells, but to no avail.

The headline reads - "Shock! Violent explosion on Hogwarts train causing heavy student casualties! A dark day for the Christmas holidays!"

"Major casualties? Is there no lower limit for this reporter to gain people's attention?" Mo Lin muttered, the black wizard came to trouble Mo Lin yesterday, and did not attack other students. The dead caterpillar was just crying, but Maureen was almost kidnapped.

He read on:

——The Daily Prophet News on the 22nd: Hogwarts students were attacked by an unknown dark wizard on their way home by train. The black magic flames burned the entire carriage, causing students to be injured to varying degrees.More than a dozen Aurors failed to subdue the black wizard, and they didn't even see him. The Aurors were also helpless against the flames created by the unknown wizard. The level of the Aurors was once again questioned by all parties.

The Ministry of Magic not only neglected its duties, but also attempted to conceal the truth of the matter and cover up a series of scandals.But the truth can't always be hidden. A first-year freshman named Carlo Lestrange told us the whole story in person, and our reporter restored what happened at that time to the greatest extent.

"It's a snow monster! The black wizard controlled more than a dozen snow monsters and attacked every carriage!" Carlo Lestrange said confidently and still in shock: "That snow monster wanted to strangle me to death, if it wasn't for I cast a smoke spell to confuse the public, and I'm afraid I'll be caught!"

The Carlo who was interviewed is a descendant of the noble Lestrange family in the wizarding world. He is only in the first grade this year, and he can think of using the smoke spell to create chaos and escape, which has already shown his wit and bravery——

"You cast the Smoke Charm?"

Mo Lin thought it was funny for a while. He also met Carlo at that time. This guy just came out of the toilet. When he saw the wizard, he fell into the toilet in fright. He even had the face to say that he had cast the Smoke Curse.

The Smoke Curse was first taught in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Professor Francis taught everyone how to correctly defend against the attack of stinging flies. He used the Smoke Curse to confuse the public.Only Maureen's Smoke Charm worked in the class, and Carlo's Smoke Charm produced only a puff of smoke, like a candle blown out.

Sure enough, people are shameless and invincible.

There is a photo of Carlo at the bottom of the Daily Prophet. Carlo looked extravagant. Maureen snorted disdainfully, and continued to read:

—— Carlo's bravery is worth learning from many students, but not all students can react as quickly as Carlo, a Ravenclaw girl named Maria said that the snow monster killed her good friend Corgi , but we have no official reference to Corgi.The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic issued a statement that no students were missing. Obviously they deliberately covered up the fact that a student had died. This behavior made many parents very angry. We are working hard to find the parents of this Corgi, waiting They asked the Ministry of Magic for an explanation—

Below the news is a picture of a little girl in grade one crying and sad. Mo Lin looked at the little girl in surprise. She was the little girl who lost her caterpillar yesterday and was so angry and crying that she didn't listen to any persuasion.

"Is it true that a student named Corgi died?" Alton also looked at the contents of the newspaper beside Molin, and asked seriously: "If it is true, then the matter is serious, I hope that Parents of poor children, don't be too sad."

Maureen shrugged. "Seriously, if that woman could be more normal, she would know that Corgi is a caterpillar."

Alton nodded with a sudden realization, and then said angrily: "The news about that crazy woman is all nonsense, I can't believe a word, I almost forgot."

They went to Diagon Alley together, and every store in Diagon Alley was decorated with lights and festoons, and there were special promotions, even the ice cream shops in winter were doing activities, the ice cream they sold was specially eaten in winter, and it had the taste of ice cream , but it tastes hot and very popular.

Alton took Molin to Weasley's Wheezes, where all kinds of Christmas gifts are being sold, including indoor snowflake magic, sparkling fireworks, and all kinds of colorful Christmas trees, some of which will bloom when touched. An apple or a pineapple is fine.

"Hey, Mr. Alton, the old rules, [-]% off!"

George Weasley saw Alton from the crowd, and walked over happily to shake hands with Alton.It is natural for George to know Alton. Before Alton retired, when Weasley dumped the things from the workshop into the Muggle world, it was Alton and Arthur who dealt with them every time, so George never Will not neglect Alton.

"Thank you, George." Alton said with a smile.

"Oh, I know you, Maureen Walker, you were helping to subdue the gangsters in my shop last time, right?" George blinked at Maureen, "Last time you knew how to use smoke bombs and water polo, very smart, You are Alton's grandson, so I can give you some stealth smoke grenades and the newly improved bouncy water polo for free."

George grabbed a handful of smoke bombs and bouncy water balloons from the counter next to them and handed them to Maureen.

"Thank you, Mr. Weasley."

Maureen liked the things here very much. He found that there were two more security guards at the entrance of the store, and three clerks were patrolling inside. Obviously, in order to prevent the summer vacation from happening again, George spent all his money.

"Then take your time, I will tell the cashier." George quickly went to other things.

There are people coming and going in the whole store, and it is snowing everywhere, and the snowflakes are falling, but these snowflakes are created by magic, they will not fall on people, and they will not make people feel cold. Many students in the store are amazed, Because there are two reindeer pulling a sled running around the wall, behind the sled sits a trying customer, looking very excited.

"George is really good at inventing a sled that can run on the wall, thanks to him." Alton sighed.

Mo Lin was looking around, but suddenly his eyes froze, and he saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

Professor Charles.
