Admiral of Hogwarts

Maybe because this year's events ended a few weeks earlier than in the novel, the final exam still had to go on.

For Hugo, this change allowed him to gain 0.5 destiny points. Although the points are not many, considering that he only received 36 destiny points by killing the basilisk and taking out the notebook, these 0.5 points are already considered good. .

As for why he had more than 30 destiny points after working for a long time, the reason is also very simple, because at the beginning, the notebook had already given him some destiny points before he was in Ginny's hand, and it was impossible to get two destiny points on the same thing. Destiny points all over.

During this period, several students were called by Professor Dumbledore to his office for a heart-to-heart talk. In addition to the trio of Hufflepuff victims and Harry, who was previously disturbed by the fact that he could speak Parseltongue, Hugo and Veneto were naturally within the scope of Professor Dumbledore's invitation.

However, Hugo found it a little strange that during the chat with him, Dumbledore, except asking about some details of that day, almost focused on the rune stones that Hugo used in the battle.

"I think your principal may have something to do with you, and it should be related to the production of rune stones." After returning to the dormitory to discuss, Hood gave his guess.

"But no matter what the specific situation is, looking at Dumbledore's current behavior, you can probably guess that he has some good intentions for you, so you just need to wait quietly."

And this is exactly what happened. After all the petrified victims returned to normal, the final exam was over. Before this period, two things also affected the entire school.

One of them was Gilderoy Lockhart's immediate arrest by two Aurors in front of a group of fifth-year students in class on a Wednesday, causing everyone to feel uneasy.

In just half a day, several versions of why Lockhart was arrested were circulated on campus. One of the most widely circulated messages pointed out that Lockhart was related to the previous monster attack in the secret room.

The next comments ranked 2, 3, and 4 are basically content related to the next three routes. The only difference is that the CP objects are somewhat different.

However, that night, the 2 destiny points Hugo received made him realize that Lockhart's arrest was probably related to him.

And this is exactly what happened. Early the next morning, the Daily Prophet devoted a large space to the news that Lockhart was facing the Wizengamot trial for multiple serious crimes.

It turned out that after nearly a year of treatment, Guanghui finally helped the old American wizard regain his memory nearly a month ago.

Next, the ship girls in the United States and Britain mobilized to collect evidence, and then issued a complaint through the Magical Congress of the United States of America.

I have to say that although this method goes in a big circle, it is also the only effective method.

The fact that Lockhart was able to obtain the third-level Order of Merlin as a best-selling novelist proved that the other party must have some background power of his own in the British wizarding world. It would be difficult for a foreign wizard to defeat such a celebrity.

Especially now that the British Ministry of Magic is under the leadership of Fudge. For more than ten years, it has been adhering to the policy of not seeking merit, but seeking no faults. If there is not enough pressure, the other party is likely to cover up the matter directly.

However, the ship girls were naturally wary of this. After they learned that the old American wizard was what happened, they spent a lot of time and energy searching for the pictures and found the wizards whose memories had been erased by Lockhart one by one. Concentrated to the UK for treatment.

So not long after the old American wizard recovered, a French witch and a German wizard also recovered their memories, and at the same time filed a complaint with the Ministry of Magic in their country with evidence.

At this time, the ostrich policy of the British Ministry of Magic immediately went bankrupt. At this time, the second round of letters of complaint from the UK was also delivered to the desk of the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the British Ministry of Magic.

At this time, the Director of Magical Law Enforcement of the British Ministry of Magic was Amelia Bones, a talented witch and a serious and upright Ministry of Magic official. So she quickly launched a secret investigation into Lockhart.

Obviously, these criminal investigations were carried out in secret, so Lockhart had not heard any news before.

After a month of investigation, Ms. Bones, who confirmed that he had indeed committed multiple felonies, signed an arrest warrant and directly sent Aurors to arrest Lockhart, who was performing a play on the podium at the time.

Lockhart's arrest did cause quite a bit of discussion on campus. But because of his poor performance in teaching throughout the previous school year, not many people thought that he was wrongly accused.

On the contrary, a group of hindsighters have appeared in each college. They take advantage of various opportunities to convince those around them who are willing to listen to their bragging to say that they have discovered this a long time ago, but they did not say it out because of the reputation of the school.

"What have they been doing?" Hermione turned to complain to Hugo next to her when she passed by a senior Hufflepuff boy who was boasting.

"You know, many people rely on this to realize their self-worth, so let them blow it. Anyway, the audience is just listening to this for fun, and not many people believe in it." Hugo shrugged. . "By the way, is Hagrid at home now?"

This was the afternoon of the end-of-term banquet. After hearing that Hagrid had returned to Hogwarts from his recuperation after coming out of Azkaban, Hugo and the others decided to visit him.

"Should be at home." At this time, Hugo and the three of them had already walked out of the castle gate, and Hermione pointed at Hagrid's cabin and said. "Look, there's smoke coming from the chimney of his house."

"Hey, Hagrid, has anyone been here just now?" After being welcomed in by Hagrid, Hugo found two half-drunk cups of tea on the table.

"Harry and Ron just left a few minutes ago. If you come earlier, you might be able to meet them." Hagrid said and took out a few new cups, filled them with tea and handed them to Hugo and the others.

"I really want to thank you this time, and of course Professor Halsey." Hagrid said gratefully to Hugo while passing the tea.

"Thanks to your help, I was able to get out of Azkaban. To be honest, that place was really terrible. The guards inside gave people a feeling that they would never be happy again."

"So after I was released from Azkaban, I took the headmaster's advice and went to the south of France to bask in the sun for a few weeks. I didn't come back until this morning."

"Then did you get any compensation, Hagrid?" Hermione asked a little hastily after hearing what Hagrid said. "Although I don't know what the wizarding world is like, in our ordinary world, compensation must be paid for this kind of accidental arrest."

"No, there is no compensation." Hagrid shook his head helplessly. "But I have finally been cleared of the suspicion of murder. From now on, at least I am innocent in this regard."

At this point, Hagrid, realizing that Hugo and the others were too young to tell them so much about the dark side of the adult world, forcefully changed the subject.

"By the way, Dumbledore has agreed that I will take over Professor Kettlebo's position as Professor of Care of Magical Creatures."

This may be a major benefit brought by clearing the criminal record. After all, Hogwarts is the only magic school in the UK. No matter what, it is impossible for a person with a criminal record to come to the school as a professor.

"This is a good thing. You can use your book as a textbook for everyone." Hugo said as if he had thought of something.

After all, he himself participated in the writing of Hagrid's book, so he naturally realized that the book he had participated in writing before was indeed suitable as a textbook.

"No, no, no, I found a book that is more interesting than my book. I will find a way to show you that book in advance during the summer vacation."
