Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 176 Professor Charles' Decision
"Professor Charles, you want to resign?" Maureen frowned.

"Yes." Professor Charles tidied up the textbooks on the desk, waved his wand again, and erased the words on the blackboard.

"But why?" Maureen asked.

Professor Charles stopped, looked into Maureen's eyes of different colors, and said, "Someone must do this, Maureen, you should know."

"Do you want to deal with Payingade's painting alone?"

"No one is more suitable than me. The Ministry of Magic has already written back to the headmaster. They politely rejected Headmaster McGonagall's suggestion, thinking that this matter is not credible. In fact, this matter was expected. I still remember 20 Many years ago, when Voldemort first came back, Fudge, the Minister of Magic at that time, also refused to believe that those in power in the Ministry of Magic only cared about their own interests, and this matter was too special... Oh, it is not good to say these things to you, You are still young, you will understand later."

Professor Charles opened the box, and all the books on the desk in front of him automatically flew into his box, and he shrank the box and put it in his pocket.

"Then what are you going to do?" Mo Lin asked again.

"Go to the whole country and even the world to search for Payngade's paintings, find them and destroy them. His paintings are easy to identify, but because there are many paintings handed down, this is a difficult task." Professor Charles said.

"But he has a time converter. Although it was broken by Anok, it may be repaired soon. You will be affected by the time converter."

Morin still remembered that the Time-Turner was still in the hands of Payngade, except that he could predict in advance within the scope of the Time-Turner, everyone else would be affected.

After Molin defeated Payngade last time, the reason why he didn't use the time-turner to go back to the past was because of Molin's presence. If he went back to the past, Molin wouldn't even enter the painting, and would just destroy it. Payingade There is no chance like that.

"Speaking of Time Converter." Professor Charles looked at Maureen with novel eyes, and said, "Payingaid said a lot in front of us that day, and he didn't speak very clearly, but I know you are not affected by Time Converter." effect, right?"

Maureen felt that there was nothing to hide from Professor Charles, so he nodded: "Yes, that's why I know what Payngade is doing."

After a pause, Molin said again: "I am not affected by the Time Converter, but you will be."

"Maybe you don't know, the time converter has some limitations." Professor Charles said.

"limit?"

"Principal McGonagall learned from the Department of Mysteries that this surviving Time Converter was also damaged at the beginning. Even if it is repaired, it still has serious flaws. After using it once, it will take a week or more to use it next time. That Time is irreversible, although I don't know when he will use the time-turner, but this week is my advantage."

Professor Charles leaned on the podium, smiled and said: "Not to mention he hasn't repaired the Time Converter so easily."

"I see." Mo Lin nodded, and then remembered that it had been a long time since Hugo and the others disappeared, so this was the reason.

Payngade can't leave the painting as he likes yet, he has to rely on qualified talents like Hugo and the others, but it is not easy to find a few people who are both talented in painting and born in two months in the wizarding world.If he can't leave the painting, it is impossible to deal with Professor Charles.

"Molin, I know you have some strange secrets about you, such as the powerful flame. I was there at the time. That kind of flame can't be achieved by just drinking potions. That potion must make some magical powers in your body You recovered, but you drank too much potion, which caused a great loss of energy, and even the brain-boosting potion couldn't keep you awake, and you fell asleep in front of us, I heard that you fell asleep for two days afterwards."

Professor Charles motioned for Maureen to sit down and talk, and he himself sat on the chair.

"That's right." Molin had to admit that Professor Charles was very observant, and then he asked, "Professor, why didn't you tell Principal McGonagall about my drinking of the potion that day?"

Professor Charles said with a smile, "I didn't say it in front of the principal that day because of that Mr. Anok Agripba. He knows you very well, he knows Dumbledore, and he can hang out with Dumbledore." I have lived in Payngade for so long. You must know that people in the paintings rarely learn such powerful magic. I can’t deal with Payngade myself, so I think his identity is not simple. At least the real Mr. Agrippa must have taught him. Portraiture has some magic."

After a pause, Professor Charles continued: "This explains the problem very well. In reality, Mr. Agrippa should know the secret in your body. If this secret is the key to defeating Payngade, I think it is better to cover it up for you. OK. Not that I don't trust the headmaster or the other professors, but Payngade can walk through any painting, and he has a lot of ways to eavesdrop from them on how to deal with some of your secrets. The less people know about your secrets , the safer you will be."

Professor Charles was very thoughtful, and it would be unwise to let more people know about Morin's secret while Payngade was still outside.

"Thank you, Professor." Maureen thanked him. This is the reason why he didn't tell the principal about these things.

"You're welcome, we all need to be more vigilant. I have checked the Hogwarts castle completely, and there is no painting of Payngade. I have applied a magic to the protective magic of Hogwarts to identify the paintings of Payingade. He If the painting appears in the school, it will be temporarily blocked, and Principal McGonagall will deal with it immediately, but it still cannot be taken lightly."

Professor Charles patted Maureen on the shoulder.

"Then when do you plan to leave?"

"Come to the end of this semester! I am also responsible for your courses, but I usually leave school when I have time. For example, in the afternoon, I will go to the Wizarding Art Museum in Edinburgh. There is a painting of Payngade there. I will find a way Go check it out..." Professor Charles said politely.

"How do you get it?" Mo Lin asked curiously.

"Using disgraceful means." Professor Charles shook his head helplessly. "I've never done this kind of thing. To be honest, this is not my style. I need to survey the terrain first."

"Are you going to steal?"

"Almost, I'm going to steal it. I imitated Payingade's painting."

Professor Charles took out a drawing from his suit pocket and enlarged it: "This is another picture of football and Quidditch drawn by Payngade. Of course it is fake. I can't create a character that can't move, so I did a little fudge, those football players were drawn on Muggle paper, and pasted the Muggle paper onto the wizard's canvas, it wouldn't be obvious without careful identification."

This painting is a stadium for [-] people, with immobile Muggles playing football below and moving wizards flying around playing Quidditch above.

"Okay, don't talk about it, it's very risky, you have to learn painting skills when you have time, go to the next class! Keep it a secret for me, it's not so easy to steal things in the Wizard Art Museum, I wish you Good luck to me!" Professor Charles put away the fake and smiled at Mo Lin.
