Hogwarts: I'm really not the third Dark Lord

Fudge did not look into Professor McGonagall's eyes, but lowered his head and played with the top hat in his hand.

"Minerva, if parents find out that an uncontrolled werewolf has lurked into the school, my office will be filled with owls and howling letters the next day..."

"I don't want to treat poor Lupin like this, but you also have to understand our difficulties..."

"How are you going to treat him?" Professor McGonagall took a deep breath and asked.

"He will be sent to the Ministry of Magic to be controlled." Seeing Professor McGonagall's tone softening, Fudge said hurriedly, "When he regains his senses and is sure that no one was injured in tonight's accident, he will be released. No There’s a little bit of nonsense…”

Professor McGonagall glanced hesitantly at Jerry and Hermione. These two people were the first to come into contact with werewolves, and their testimony was crucial.

After hearing that the werewolf was actually Lupin, Hermione was surprised and frightened at the same time.

Just now, she almost killed her teacher.

In fact, she had a pretty good impression of Lupine. He was the most qualified Defense Against the Dark Arts professor she had ever encountered, and he gave them a lot of useful knowledge and magic.

After some hesitation, she concealed the fact that she was almost killed by a werewolf.

Nothing happened to her anyway, right?

Hermione didn't speak, and neither did Jerry. Everyone saw that he controlled the werewolf within a few seconds. Even if he said that he was seriously injured, no one would believe it.

On the other side, Snape couldn't help it anymore. This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to kill Lupine reasonably. At least he should be sent to Azkaban, right?

"Miss Granger, someone saw the werewolf appearing with you. I don't think the werewolf will be lenient to you just because you are the famous Miss Know-It-All, right?"

"..."

Hermione blushed. She looked up and looked around, trying to find a reasonable excuse. Suddenly, she saw the big black dog.

Hermione pointed at the black dog and said, "It's that dog. When the werewolf was about to attack me, that dog stopped him!"

The big black dog stood up lazily and barked loudly at Snape several times.

Snape's expression turned even more ugly. He had assaulted a student and attempted assault on a student. The latter charge was obviously much lighter than the former.

But looking at the bloody wounds on the black dog, it seemed that the girl was not lying.

"Shut up! You stupid dog!"

Snape yelled at the black dog, and the next moment, the black dog pounced on Snape.

"Damn beast!" Snape pulled out his wand with a livid face, intending to teach the blind guy in front of him a lesson.

"Okay, Severus, don't be serious with a dog." Fudge pretended to advise, "It bravely saved a child's life. It's really touching..."

Hearing this, Snape actually put down his wand. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Fudge, who also looked at him with a smile.

Snape lowered his hands thoughtfully: "You are right, Mr. Minister, then I will leave this werewolf to you."

"Thank you for your understanding," Fudge said. "We will give him a fair sentence."

For a moment, Professor McGonagall had no reason to refuse.

After all, no matter what, Lupine did lose control in school. If Jerry's strength was not beyond ordinary people, many people would be injured.

Fudge's request and handling measures were reasonable. If he refused again, it would appear that he didn't care about the lives of the students.

In fact, many Slytherin students were now casting dissatisfied looks at her.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Professor Luping. I believe you will definitely give us the truth."

Until now, she still suspected that Snape had done something in the Wolfsbane potion.

"Of course, of course." Fudge laughed, and no one saw the fierce light flashing in his eyes.

As long as Lupine is brought back to the Ministry of Magic, a dementor will immediately give him a kiss.

The reason is also very simple - during the interrogation, the werewolf suddenly became fierce and attacked Minister Fudge!

The dementor savior who was guarding the werewolves was so eager that he had to use the last resort.

Professor McGonagall would naturally not be satisfied with this statement, but her opinion didn't matter at all - most people wouldn't care whether a werewolf lived or died.

Not to mention, she, the vice-principal, will not be able to protect herself by then.

Think about it, despite knowing the ferocious nature of werewolves, Dumbledore still insisted on hiring him as a professor despite the opposition of the Ministry of Magic.

Is such a centenarian who has lost his most basic judgment really qualified to continue to be the principal of Hogwarts?

After ousting Dumbledore, and then supporting a new headmaster who is close to the Ministry of Magic - Severus is a good choice.

I heard that he is very unpopular in the school, and if he wants to control the school, he must use the power of the Ministry of Magic.

Extending the tentacles of power into Hogwarts is something that no one has done in thousands of years.

When the time comes, I have the Ministry of Magic on my left and Hogwarts on my right, who else can oppose me?

As if he saw himself becoming the uncrowned king of the British wizarding world, Fudge looked at Lupin with even more enthusiasm.

……

"I have no problem with the way you handled it, Connelly." A calm voice suddenly came from behind, breaking Fudge's illusion.

"Then, would you mind if I participate in the trial of Professor Lupine?"

"Deng Deng Deng... Dumbledore!" Fudge screamed like a little girl, "Why are you here?"

"Yes, it seems that I came back a little late." Dumbledore's eyes swept across Snape, Jerry, and Hermione, and finally stopped at the werewolf lying motionless on the ground, "Very good The petrification spell, Mr. Yodel."

"Thank you, Professor."

"How are things going in Greece?" Fudge's eyes widened.

Dumbledore's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I have to say that this time I met some old friends after a long absence. Although they were very enthusiastic about keeping me here to catch up on old times, after learning about the incident at Hogwarts, I rushed back as quickly as possible. ——”

"Now it seems that I came back a little late."

Although Dumbledore's expression and tone were very calm, Fudge couldn't help but shudder.

"Thank you for your hard work, Albus. If you want to participate in Lupin's trial, of course there is no problem." Fudge said dryly.

"Thank you, Connelly, for your continued interest in Hogwarts."

"It should, it should." Fudge laughed dryly and cursed in his heart.

What did those guys from the Truth Society do!

He had clearly promised to trap Dumbledore for more than a month - at which time he could have removed Dumbledore for malfeasance in office.

It had only been less than half a month before Dumbledore came back.

Not to mention that his plan was completely in vain, just in case Dumbledore discovered the little tricks he had done.

Thinking of this, Fudge trembled all over.

no!This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible!

"Albus, are we leaving now?"

"Ah, please wait a moment."

Dumbledore suddenly turned to look at Jerry and Hermione: "Mr. Yodel, Miss Granger, could you please go to the principal's office and wait for me? The password is iced lemon juice. I have something very important to tell you." You guys should find out."

"Okay, Professor." It happened that Jerry also had many things to ask Dumbledore.

Dumbledore nodded and left with Fudge.

Jerry and Hermione arrived in silence on the eighth floor of the castle, in front of a gargoyle.

During this period, both of them didn't exchange a glance, each thinking about their own thoughts.

"Ice lemonade," Jerry said.

The gargoyle jumped aside as if it had come alive, and the wall behind it split in half, revealing a spiral staircase hidden behind that moved slowly upward.

Take the spiral staircase to a wooden door, twist the door handle, and the door opens immediately.

Dumbledore's office was still the same as before.

On the table with slender legs, there are many strange and weird silverware, spinning, emitting small puffs of smoke.

The walls are covered with portraits of old principals, both men and women, snoring gently in their respective frames.

There was also a huge table in the room with claw-shaped legs.On a shelf behind the desk sat a tattered, wrinkled wizard's hat - the Sorting Hat.

Sensing their arrival, the old principals opened their eyes one after another and looked at them with interest in their own photo frames.

An old man with a sinister face said loudly: "Tell them, child! I just told them that you used two petrification spells to kill a bloodthirsty werewolf, and they still don't believe it!"

The speaker was Phineas Black, whose portrait Jerry had seen in the Slytherin common room. He was also the first Slytherin headmaster.

Another kind woman gave him a look: "Shut up, Phineas, we're saying you can't do it."

She looked at Jerry again: "Child, tell me what that werewolf looks like?"

"Well... I haven't seen other werewolves, but Professor Lupine was different from the werewolves recorded in the book at that time. His fur all over his body was red, and his eyes were also red."

The principals immediately started discussing in whispers, and Jerry saw many of them shaking their heads.

An old man whom Jerry didn't know shouted loudly: "I have warned him a long time ago - invite a werewolf to be the professor. God, in our time, he and the werewolf should be burned to death together."

The lady before said disapprovingly: "You must also consider Albus's difficulties, Evra. It is difficult to find a qualified Defense Against the Dark Arts professor now."

While observing them, Jerry came to the table and sat down. Hermione was interested in the Sorting Hat on the shelf and hesitated whether to take it off.

At this moment, a teapot-shaped silverware in front of Jerry suddenly spun rapidly, and a large amount of white mist emerged from it. Soon, something like a white curtain formed in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, Dumbledore's face appeared on the screen. He seemed to be in an underground cave, with a faint fluorescent light emitting from the wall behind him.

Hermione was also attracted by everything that happened suddenly and came to Jerry's side.

"Good evening, Jerry, and Hermione." Dumbledore said hello. At this moment, a monster with a body and a bull's head suddenly appeared behind him, holding a giant ax and struck him on the head.

No matter what Dumbledore did, the monster suddenly burned with golden flames and turned into ashes in an instant.

"Good evening, Professor, didn't you go to the Ministry of Magic? The Ministry of Magic attacked you?"

Hermione suddenly thought of a possibility and exclaimed.

"No, actually, I've been in Greece and will be here for a while - and as you can see, I'm in some trouble."

Dumbledore said calmly, a huge bat appeared above him, and was then penetrated by a silver light.

Jerry frowned: "We saw you appear in Hogwarts just now. Is that person fake?"

"I think so." Dumbledore nodded, and after seeing the surprised expressions on both men's faces, he added, "In fact, I think that was you, Jerry."

"...I don't understand, Professor."

"I don't have enough time now, so I'll keep the story short." Dumbledore explained while killing endless monsters, "I received a commission from the Ministry of Magic and came to Greece. Soon, I realized , this is not an ordinary mutation, but a conspiracy against me."

"With the level they showed, I didn't think they could kill me, so I started a secret investigation."

"It turns out I underestimated them. They trapped me with a legendary magical item."

"It's a very powerful item, but it still can't kill me. Their purpose seems to be to drag me there."

"What's the point of spending so much effort to trap an old man like me who rarely even leaves Hogwarts?"

"I asked myself, and I concluded that they were going to attack Hogwarts."

"Fortunately, some of the means I left behind at Hogwarts ensured that I could keep track of the school's situation at any time. Sure enough, something went wrong with Lupine's medicine and he lost control."

"Did Professor Snape do it?"

Jerry asked.

"I don't think so." Dumbledore shook his head, "But Severus is obviously not cautious enough."

Dumbledore paused and skipped here: "They spent so much effort to take Lupin away, they won't just be satisfied with killing him."

"They said that as long as no one is hurt, they will let Professor Lupine back!" Hermione said in shock.

"If Lupine suddenly attacked them during the escort, there would be no choice but to kill him in order to protect themselves."

Dumbledore obviously knew all about the Ministry of Magic's tricks: "The next day, it will be reported that I actually recruited a werewolf to Hogwarts for some unseen purpose."

"Taking bribes, conspiring against the Ministry of Magic... they will pour dirty water on me as much as they want, but I am obviously unable to do anything about it when I am trapped in Greece. By the time I come back from Greece, I am afraid I will already be on the list of wanted criminals."
