Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 376 Reports
At this time, Hermione nudged Harry slightly with her elbow, and pointed to Neville not far away.

He also knew the news, and was holding on to an upright "Daily Prophet".

Ron said softly that Neville's parents are still in the Spell Injury Department of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Magic, and have not been able to leave the hospital.

Harry suddenly realized that Neville had never mentioned his parents.

He talked with them about his family in the dormitory, and he kept talking about the grandmother who looked scarier than Professor Snape, and the unreliable uncle.

But Harry also knew that the last thing Neville needed at this moment was sympathy.

So he refocused his attention on another page of the newspaper.

The headline in black on the oversized model reads:

"Azkaban mass escape!"

"Treachery by the dementors? Is the Ministry of Magic deliberate indulgence, or negligence?"

"Is Fudge qualified for the post of England's Minister of Magic?"

"Many well-known figures in the magical world protested and agreed that Fudge is not qualified to be Prime Minister and should take the blame and step down."

"The Ministry of Magic is concerned that Black is calling Death Eaters..."

"Late last night, the Ministry of Magic announced that a large-scale escape had occurred in Azkaban."

Hermione read, but it was still too slow, and in the end she just lifted it up, and McGuffin and Harry put their heads together and started reading the newspaper.

Minister for Magic Connelly Fudge told reporters that dozens of inmates who were under high-security guard at the Azkabane island prison had escaped early last night and that he had informed the Muggle Prime Minister that they were extremely dangerous.

——However, according to the investigation of this reporter, the guarding dementors of Azkaban also disappeared, even those who usually patrolled the island (misdemeanor prison) disappeared.

'Unfortunately, this has happened again. ’ Fudge said at last night’s press conference, ‘We think there is a connection between this and the previous Sirius escape.A prison break of this magnitude means there is someone out there, and we must remember that not long ago Sirius Black was the first to escape..."

"In addition, we are only in London, and some Muggles in the Muggle villages around Hogwarts said that they have seen Sirius, so we have reason to believe that his series of actions are all to attract our attention, so as to facilitate the large-scale escape of criminals like them."

"We think that these people, including Black's cousin Bellatrix, may have gathered around the leader Black. But we will do everything we can to round up these criminals, and we hope that magical people will remain vigilant. Don't go near any criminals.'"

"In addition, according to the International Association of Magic's No.30 Resolution No. 68 this year, we have decided to officially launch the No. [-] reconsideration of the No. [-] Document during the Goblin War period, and implement a permanent arrest and arrest reward for a group of dementors..."

"Wizards who are proficient in the [Guardian Charm] and the new spell [Invoke God Nightmare] can come to the Auror Office to register, and they can receive a bounty for every dementor who defected from Azkaban. The bounty amount can be exchanged at Gringotts. The daily bounty amount is announced by Gringotts in the UK, France, and Ireland that morning, and the duration will also be notified accordingly."

Here is what was written in the newspaper, and there was a line of fine print: (After the press conference, Ministry of Magic officials revealed that wizards who don’t know about new types of spells can go to the Institute of Charms, a subsidiary of the Ministry of Magic, to study, and all wizards who have mastered Occlumency can register.)

McGuffin shook his head, "It seems that Connelly was so mad that he issued such an order!"

Several people continued to read.

In addition, according to what our reporter Rita Skeeter heard, the three fire dragons stationed at the handle passage in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts have been transferred by the Ministry of Magic and stationed on the grounds outside Hogwarts Castle.

It seems that relevant people in the Ministry of Magic think that after these criminals and dementors escape from Azkaban, they will avenge the mysterious man and try to attack Hogwarts school.

Worth mentioning - the Boy Who Lived, where Harry Potter is studying, is a third year student at Hogwarts.

When our reporter Rita Skeeter asked Mr. Goodman, who was stationed at Hogwarts and Fudge's right-hand man and had the position of Assistant First Secretary, whether keeping the fire dragon near the castle was too dangerous for little wizards.

Mr. Goodman responded gravely,
——The dragon trainers in Romania got clues three years ago, and by studying some ancient magic books and the characteristics of fire dragons, they restored to a certain extent the group spells commonly used by wizards in the ancient Roman era, which is legion magic in the usual sense, dragon training magic,

This can suppress the fire dragon, and it is safe in a high probability.

And with fire dragons stationed there, those dark wizards who broke through Azkaban couldn't hurt any little wizards.

When asked about the previous two dementor riots, as well as this defection and helping the Death Eaters escape from prison, Goodman declared that this is the Ministry of Magic's highest authority and has no comment, and everything is subject to the official announcement of the Ministry of Magic's highest department.

……

After reading it, Harry always felt that something was wrong. He read it again, but still felt that something was missing.

At this time, Hermione said, "Why doesn't this newspaper mention anything about the mysterious man? With so many Death Eaters escaping from prison, the first one that should be mentioned should be the Dark Lord..."

"Hermione! What are you talking about!" Ron was very surprised. He glanced at Harry and reminded Hermione.

"Don't try to avoid me, Hermione is right! I just said that there is something wrong with this report. When you mention Death Eaters, isn't Voldemort the first thing people think?"

Harry said with an ugly look.

Hearing the name, Ron shuddered and stopped talking.

McGuffin smiled at the side, and said, "That's because the name is too scary for them. The wizards deliberately put their heads in the sand to avoid this possibility...Harry, look around and you will understand!"

Harry looked up, not many of the little wizards were holding newspapers to discuss this matter, and most of them were lying on the windows and looking at the fire dragons outside.

— such a big thing happened,

The Hogwarts students weren't scared, or at least discussed the dire news that hit the front page,

Obviously, people were panicked about those giant scary plants last year.

Instead, the little wizards are more interested in the fire dragons and dragon trainers outside, or laugh at the possibility that the Ministry of Magic Fudge will step down.

Even if someone occasionally subscribes to magical newspapers such as the "Daily Prophet", they just joke about it and don't talk about it.

The only ones who were interested in it were de LS Malfoy's little Slytherin group.

She flicked the newspaper in her hand triumphantly, announced the cover to every little snake who was willing to listen to her speech, and deliberately made a gesture of threatening to cut their throats towards Harry and the others.

Harry was a little annoyed.

"That guy must think that after Voldemort returns, these pure-blood families will be able to do whatever they want."

McGuffin grabbed Harry and shook his head.

He said meaningfully, "Harry! Dumbledore is prepared. Have you forgotten what happened the night you stayed in school last year?"

Harry reacted immediately.

Indeed, judging from that incident, it is estimated that Lucius Malfoy is likely to become Principal Dumbledore's spy, otherwise DeLS Malfoy's secret will definitely not be kept.

Harry paused.

But it made Ron and Hermione feel very strange, the secret topic between McGuffin and the two of them.

Although McGuffin persuaded Harry to relax, he himself was not so relieved.

-MD!

McGuffin was very worried that after the group of Death Eaters escaped from prison, they would bring all kinds of troubles to their plan to capture Nagia.

It stands to reason that only Peter Pettigrew can find Voldemort who deliberately hides from his men through the mouse.

But so many of Voldemort's followers escaped, and Peter Pettigrew is nowhere to be found now... This really made him a little confused.

——Will things continue to develop according to the plot in the future?
After that, Wood rushed directly from the corridor in front of several people with a hurried expression, and shouted at Harry loudly.

"Harry, is that true? Has the school really canceled Quidditch for the time being?"

He cried anxiously, his expression was as pitiful and dejected as an abandoned puppy.

"Well! Professor McGonagall said it depends..."

Before Harry finished speaking, Wood left the restaurant in a daze without even eating breakfast.

"Professor McGonagall, how could she? It's just some down-and-out dark wizards locked in Azkaban. They don't even have magic wands... As for the dementors, just ask McGuffin to summon the nightmare again..."

Ron imitated Wood's voice just now, he picked up a fork and slammed into a piece of steak and said, "Look, Harry, no wonder people don't take it seriously, even Wood is like this. I guess people will wake up if the mysterious person turns into a living person and appears here."

"By the way, McGuffin, Percy asked me to tell you this morning, telling you to go to the Transfiguration classroom at six o'clock on Saturday night. He said he was waiting for you there, and thanked you for your suggestion..."

"What advice, and what are you two going to do?"

"Oh, I see! I'll learn a spell from Percy, and you don't have to worry about it."

"By the way, Ron went to Hagrid to tell him that Harry and I probably won't be able to go to him in the future. Professor McGonagall seems to be imprisoning the two of us in the castle."

"Huh?" Ron was disappointed, he was still very interested in Padfoot and the herbal materials in the Forbidden Forest.

……

Saturday night at six o'clock,

When McGuffin came to the Transfiguration classroom, Percy had already come there with her girlfriend Penello to make love to each other.

"Hey, McGuffin, I'll let Penello teach you, she's much better at the [Unmarked Stretching Curse] than me."

After the two cleared their throats, they finally ended the big dog food in front of McGuffin and started teaching him about various aspects of the spell.

"I don't need you to tell me that this thing can't be used in private, especially in the Muggle world... It can only be researched here at Hogwarts. If you have to use it, I can only say that you must go to the Ministry of Magic to apply for a personal magic shop production license after graduation to use this magic."

After repeated instructions, Percy took out a set of tea sets and asked McGuffin to try to cast a spell on it.

And they were pointing from the sidelines.

"There are two ways of casting this spell, one is replacing and the other is stretching."

Penello said after checking the effect of McGuffin's spell on the teapot.

"McGuffin, what you are using now is the second method. When casting the spell, the idea in your mind is to enlarge and expand the original space... After the invention of the original spell, people have been using it like this for half a century. It was discovered later that the expansion of the space has a limit, and it is not very stable, and the duration is not long."

"This method can only expand the space of the original object to two to three times... and it can only be used for smaller objects."

"If you want magic like a family travel magic tent, you must replace the original space in the object when casting the magic, or reconstruct it..."

"During the construction, we wizards found that triangles, cubes, cuboids, and spheres are usually the most stable spatial structures and are not easy to collapse. Ancient Egyptian wizards often used triangles... and now we most commonly use hemispheres. Try it..."

After Penello taught McGuffin, he played a passionate lovers game with Percy over there, completely ignoring the little wizard in front of him.

Dog food is fed in handfuls.

McGuffin became more and more suspicious that the guy Percy was taking this opportunity to date him.

Still, even with two twinkling love bulbs in front of him, MacGuffin has completed the initial learning of the spell.

He took the teacup and the kettle, and tried to expand them one by one, instead of shaping the space inside.

With Percy and the others taking the time to guide them, he finally replaced the space of one of the teacups and reshaped it to the size of a bucket.

With the help of talent points, McGuffin's spell was gradually strengthened, and the progress made the two guys who were feeding dog food stunned.

In the end, he even summoned the water in the black lake to fill the teapot, then floated it in mid-air, and kept letting it pour water, and the water flowed into the teacup underneath.

The water flows continuously between the two like a waterfall.

"It seems to be a success, not bad."

After Percy and Penello checked briefly, they hurriedly tried to drive McGuffin away.

"The next time we try to expand the suitcase,...we will try to see if the [Untraceable Stretching Curse] expands to the size of a house."

"It's not easy to maintain the stability of the space in that situation, and it will last for a long time. In fact, you should ask my father, Mr. Weasley, he is very good at this."

"McGuffin, when you leave here, take this thing with you. Be sure to pour out the lake water inside. Otherwise, the entire teacup will burst after the duration of the [Untraceable Stretching Curse] expires. You don't want to face that scene."

McGuffin originally planned to ask Percy about the [Apparition] spell. He wanted to get Nagia's blood. This spell would save him a lot of trouble.

But seeing Percy's impatient expression of wanting to drive him away from the date, he could only curl his lips and float up the 'small waterfall' to take away the classroom, leaving the two guys in the classroom.
