The day of the duel at Hogwarts

Fudge and Scrimgeour eventually broke up.

The leaders of various departments in the Ministry of Magic also dispersed. As for whether they believed Scrimgeour or Fudge, only they knew. At least they seemed very calm on the surface.

Back in the office, Fudge looked at Delis and others waiting here, nodded slightly, and said: "You guys did a good job. If Scrimgeour gets caught on this matter this time, our activities in the future will definitely be ruined." If a problem arises, as for Howard, tell him that I will solve the werewolf problem as soon as possible. His business cannot be delayed, and the dividend at the end of the year must be paid on time no matter what."

"My subordinate understands."

"Well, you go down."

Delis and others immediately left Fudge's office.

When they came back just now, Fudge was suspicious of them, but after some explanation, Fudge reluctantly believed their explanation. As long as everything goes normal on Howard's side, as time goes by, Fudge will sooner or later I will also put aside my doubts about them.

Of course, it is more likely that Fudge was overthrown by their new master before he dropped his suspicions about them. At that time, it would have no meaning for Fudge to doubt them.

"You can go rest and leave the rest to me."

The three masked Aurors heard what Delis said and knew what he meant. They nodded and left. Delis pretended to want something to drink and went to the lounge to order some black tea and refreshments. And he naturally came to the table near Barrett. When Barrett borrowed a sugar cube, he chatted with him and the two quickly became familiar with each other.

Things at the Ministry of Magic are proceeding steadily.

At Hogwarts, after the holidays, the ordinary and extraordinary school life started again.

Snape's Potions Master's office.

Sean finished his potion and carefully poured it into the container.

Picking up the container, Snape smelled the smell carefully, then raised his wand and clicked on the potion to confirm the ingredients and effects of the potion. Then he nodded gently and said, "There is no problem with this potion. It can be used completely, if you write it as a paper..."

At this point, Snape frowned slightly and said: "For you, this kind of paper is no longer suitable for you to write. The gold content is too low. I just changed a little bit of the formula of other potions to make the properties of the potions better." With some changes, even if this kind of paper is written, it will not be published in "The Golden Crucible" and there is no need to publish it."

Sean was secretly relieved when Snape said there was no need to publish it.

He had just sent out the paper on Transfiguration before the holidays. It seemed that the review had almost started. He could finally take a break. If Snape assigned him another paper at this time, he would really be in trouble. .

Fortunately, his professor still loved him and didn't put any burden on him.

"Professor, then I should be able to brew this potion directly at the supervisor's place in early February."

"Yes, your magic potion definitely has more advantages than the Bubble Curse. You are right to choose not to use the Bubble Curse. It can finally allow the wizard to survive underwater, but once he dives into deeper water, The water pressure will cause great disturbance to your body. These are problems that the Bubble Curse cannot avoid.

Moreover, your potion can temporarily change your body to adapt to underwater activities, and it will not affect your ability to use magic underwater. It is a very good choice. "

"Okay, Professor, then if there is nothing else, I want to go to Professor Dumbledore's place."

"Well, let's go."

Seeing Snape waving his hand to him, Sean immediately stood up and left.

However, he did not choose to go to Dumbledore immediately. Instead, he came to the Great Hall and met Harry.

"Shawn, over here."

Looking at Harry sitting at the end of the Gryffindor table, Sean walked over and sat down directly.

For the likes of Sean and Harry, this is a very indifferent thing, but for some people, the fact that a Slytherin sits at the Gryffindor table is a kind of thing in itself. Pretty scary stuff.

Of course, given Sean's status in Hogwarts at this time, it was not a big deal for him to sit at the end of the Gryffindor table during his free time. Many people were surprised and chose to ignore this. Except for a very few people.

"Harry, bring the Marauder's Map."

"Well, it's right here, do you need to see it?"

"Okay, please show me."

Reaching out to take the Marauder's Map handed over by Harry, Sean opened the Marauder's Map, then pulled out his wand and recited in a low voice: "I solemnly swear that I have done no good deeds!"

As Sean's wand lightly clicked on the Marauder's Map, a large number of names and tunnels immediately appeared on the Marauder's Map, but Sean's attention was not on Hogwarts Castle, but on Hogwarts. Outside the castle, he looked at the name of the person outside the castle and found that there was no change, so he nodded slowly.

"Okay, I'm done, Harry."

"Sean, did someone sneak into Hogwarts? Like Peter Pettigrew last year?"

Looking up at Harry, Sean could fool him, but he didn't want to do that. He always felt that everyone had to bear their own responsibilities, and Harry was the same, and it was his responsibility to fight against Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

"I do suspect that someone has come in, but unfortunately, I don't know if it is the effect of some powerful shielding spell or if my guess is wrong. The person I suspect has no other name shown on the Marauder's Map."

The Marauder's Map was created by Harry's father James, Sirius, Lupine, and Peter when they were in school. At that time, they certainly had magical abilities beyond their years, and the four of them worked together to create this map. Very good magic item.

But the Marauder's Map is not a panacea, it also has its limitations.

If a person casts a powerful shielding spell on himself, the Marauder's Map cannot detect the other person's true identity.

"Sean, what should we do about this?"

"Harry, you don't need to worry about this matter for the time being. I actually have some other ways to identify it. As long as I find out, I will go to Professor Dumbledore immediately. In this way, no matter who wants to find out in Harry Gwartz will never succeed in his mischief."
