Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

UPDATE: The truth is exactly what Dumbledore said.

The Ministry of Magic simply did not suppress the news that Azkaban had fallen, or they could not suppress it if they wanted to.

On the second day, almost all wizards in the British wizarding world were at the breakfast table and saw the news in the Daily Prophet.

And at the same time as the news came out, the Death Eaters, who had blatantly walked in the sun, also had their first violent conflict with the Aurors since Voldemort's resurrection.

According to Scrimgeour's plan, the Aurors detected the location where the Death Eaters escaped from the large-scale prison escape through the Apparition Detection Magic set up by the Ministry of Magic in the UK, and Voldemort led the Death Eaters to not move their positions immediately, but Ambush in that manor in Wales.

Although the Aurors had been careful enough, a large-scale battle of more than 100 people took place near the manor.

The injuries Sherlock caused Voldemort two months ago seemed to have completely healed. Under the leadership of a dark wizard like him, the ceiling-level black wizard in the wizarding world, the Aurors had to retreat after a hard fight.

There is no way to hide the outcome of this battle. Even if the name of Voldemort makes most wizards in the wizarding world discolored, there are still no shortage of his followers in this land.

Even before the news of the Daily Prophet came out, the news of the Death Eaters' victory had already spread.

This made the original Ministry of Magic try its best to stabilize the situation for more than two months and public opinion was easily destroyed, and the British wizarding people fell into a panic again.

Such sentiments even affected the students at Hogwarts.

The first week of the term, the Castle was full of talk about the conflict between Death Eaters and Aurors, and even some professors were talking about it in private.

Dumbledore spent less time in the castle.

Not only did he continue to search for clues about the Horcrux, but he also had to coordinate the actions in the Order of the Phoenix.

Fortunately, even without him, under the management of Professor McGonagall, who is the vice-principal, there will be no major troubles in Hogwarts.

The only hidden dangers are the students from pure-blood families in Slytherin Academy. The entire Snake Academy is quiet in such an environment.

This is obviously a change from their usual habit of confronting Gryffindor. After all, many of these people are followers of Voldemort and have been educated in pure blood theory since childhood. It seems out of place.

Even Sherlock, a professor, was aware of this situation.

In his class, the students of the Snake Academy have become reticent, and their enthusiasm has dropped a lot compared to the Qi.

Some students even looked at him with hatred in their eyes.

This naturally includes Draco Malfoy, who has also become a prefect this year.

Although Sherlock didn't care about their attitude, such a change still made him more vigilant.

With Voldemort's bottomless character, he might not be able to use these students to make some small moves in Hogwarts.

Gu Tu

Hogwarts in September had a few days of light rain.

And in such bad weather, Harry and the others finished their first potions class after entering fifth grade.

Originally saw Snape come to attend the Society of the Phoenix conference during the summer vacation, Harry thought that his Potions class would be better this semester, but the reality was exactly the opposite of what he thought.

When configuring the potion, he made a small mistake in his operation and was caught by Snape as a typical example.

The class was closed with Slytherin, and Draco's piercing laughter echoed in Harry's ears along with Snape's indifferent humiliation.

"I know you forgot the hellebore, Potter, which means this cauldron is useless. Disappeared."

Harry's potion disappeared at once, and he could only stand stupidly beside an empty cauldron, and then Snape didn't even bother to look at him, and turned around and walked towards the podium, saying in a nonchalant tone.

"All students who read the operating instructions carefully, put your drug samples into a short-necked bottle, carefully mark their names, and take them to my podium for testing."

"Homework—Write a twelve-inch paper on parchment on the properties of moonstone and its use in medicine, due Thursday."

The classmates around Harry were filling the short-necked bottles with potions, and he was so angry that he put away everything.

His potion was no worse than Ron's, whose cauldron now smelled of rotten eggs; nor was Neville's, which had become hard, like freshly mixed cement, and he Now had to dig it out of the crucible hard.

But it was him, Harry, who got zero marks for today's homework.

Hermione and Ron were suspicious of Snape by his side after handing over the potion.

"I thought he'd be more lenient with you this year." Hermione said cryptically, and they were surrounded by other students, but that was the only way Harry and Ron could understand.

Ron complained, "I always thought Dumbledore was crazy to believe Snape anyway. What proof is there that he really doesn't work for You-Know-Who anymore?"

Just as they were talking and walking out of the classroom, they suddenly saw Sherlock who seemed to have been waiting here for a while in the corridor outside the door.

Sherlock's expression was obviously a little surprised when he saw the three of them.

"I originally wanted to find a student to help send the message, but UU Reading www.uukanshu.com asked you to come to my office after today's class, but I didn't expect Severus to take this class for you. Save me looking for help. Come after dinner at night, don't forget."

Harry was a little puzzled when he heard Sherlock's words, but this was not a good place to ask questions. He could only agree first, and then say goodbye to Sherlock with Ron Hermione and the others.

Just before they walked up the stairs, all three of Harry saw Sherlock greet Snape who had just finished class.

Apparently he wasn't here to wait for Harry, but to find Snape.

"I really don't understand why Professor Forrest and the others put such trust in Snape," said Ron again. "It's rare that they really don't care what Snape did? I'm sure he There's that man's mark on his arm too!"

"I think Dumbledore and Professor Forrest probably have enough evidence, although he didn't show it to you, Ron," said Hermione bluntly.
