From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

After listening to Professor Kettleburn's story, Principal Dippet nodded slowly and said, "We understand, does Mr. Rozier have anything to add?"

He looked at Sivan.

Xiwen shook his head and said he had nothing to add.

"Okay." Principal Dippet thought for a moment, looked at the four deans, and said. "So why do you think at least three dark wizards want to sneak into the school through the Forbidden Forest?"

"Professor, have you caught those dark wizards?" Xiwen asked.

Dumbledore showed a regretful expression and said to Sivan: "When I arrived at the location where you sent the signal, they had disappeared without a trace."

Seemingly seeing Sivan's dissatisfied look, Professor Slughorn added: "Sivan, Albus found you first, but the most important thing is to ensure your safety. Send you to the school hospital. Of course it will be too late if we rush to the scene in the future.”

Only then did Xiven remember that Dumbledore had saved them, and he quickly said gratefully to Dumbledore: "Thank you, Professor."

"You're welcome!" Dumbledore said with a wink. "I was able to get the news first thanks to the news of a ghost gentleman. You should know him."

"Is it Mr. Strange?" Sivan pretended to show a surprised expression. He keeps pretending, but he feels that his acting skills are getting better and better...

Dumbledore nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Strange said that in order to thank you for your help, he left a spiritual mark on you to sense whether you are in danger. I have to say the magic of the East There is indeed a lot of magic!”

Xiwen smiled stiffly in response.

During the time when the little wizard Xiwen was in coma, his mind naturally transferred to his soul body, just like the efficient learning mode of the body sleeping and the soul reading. Dumbledore and the others had already asked the ghost Sivan last night to learn how he could know what was happening in the Forbidden Forest in time.

Xiwen temporarily came up with the reason for mental imprinting, and vowed to tell the professors that he could not feel what happened specifically, but could only roughly understand the location and the degree of criticality. Regardless of whether they believed it or not, he believed it himself...

"I think this infiltration into the Forbidden Forest may have some connection with the destruction of the castle's magic node." Professor Melos said, forcibly shifting the awkward topic back to the topic they wanted to discuss. "I can't imagine what would happen if the poisonous leopard was brought to school."

She patted her chest with lingering fear.

Several other professors also believed this and showed worried expressions.

"If that's the case, can Ghost Strange, who helped us, be cleared of suspicion?" Dumbledore looked at Principal Dippet and asked.

Principal Dippet shook his head and retorted: "This cannot completely eliminate his suspicion. There is still a possibility that he deliberately revealed certain information to get rid of his suspicion. If the dark wizard in the Forbidden Forest is the same as him, If he is an accomplice, it is only natural that he can learn the news in the Forbidden Forest."

‘So can I stay in the dungeon and discuss the plan with the dark wizards remotely from a distance of more than ten miles? ’ Xiwen felt itchy with hatred.

Professor Bierley also thought of this. He said to Principal Dippet: "As far as I know, Strange has been locked in the dungeon, and Ms. Gray is staying with him. He should have no chance of committing a crime. right."

Shivington glanced gratefully at Professor Bierley, although the professor did not see it.

However, Principal Dippet still shook his head and said: "It is also possible that their group had discussed the action on Sunday night before the start of the school year. If the time is planned, it would be possible to achieve this step."

"I might as well change my name to the Great Prophet. I can even calculate a series of events such as the first-year wizard's wand attracting the unicorn, and the unicorn taking the young wizard to watch the traces of the dark wizard..." Xiwen was He laughed angrily and fell heavily on the pillow, feeling that he had never been so speechless in his entire life.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Mrs. Dallaire, who was watching the excitement after seeing his actions, asked.

Xiwen shook his head.

Principal Dippet discussed with the four deans for a while, but it seemed that no specific cause and effect could be discussed.

They simply calmed down and decided to make arrangements for Professor Xiwen and Professor Kettleburn first.

President Dippet said: "Given that Professor Kettleburn and Mr. Rosier discovered a serious potential threat to the security of the castle, they should be commended and rewarded. However, Professor Kettleburn involved the first-year students in a dangerous incident. It is a failure of professors to fulfill their responsibility to protect students. In my opinion, the merits outweigh the faults."

"Principal Dippet, this matter has nothing to do with Professor Kettleburn. I am unwilling to leave because of my stubbornness!" Hearing him say that Professor Kettleburn had not fulfilled his responsibilities, Xiwen couldn't stand it any longer and retorted. road. "What's more, the professor protected me from beginning to end in the Forbidden Forest and saved me countless times."

He remembered the scene last night when the professor pushed him away and rushed towards the dark wizard and the poisonous leopard alone, and his eyes became a little wet.

Principal Dippet hesitated when he saw this, then turned to look at the four deans.

"Armando, you don't have to be so indifferent, you can still get Sylvanus' reward!" The good old Professor Billie said seriously.

Seeing that the other three deans agreed, Principal Dippet also nodded and said, "Well, let's end Professor Kettleburn's probation in advance and restore his normal salary and benefits."

Xiwen looked at Professor Kettleburn with doubtful eyes and asked, "Professor, you are still on probation?"

"Hahahaha..." the professor said with a heroic smile. "Actually, I've been teaching here for several years, and I haven't spent a year without being placed on probation. Now that the punishment is suddenly gone, I'm not used to it!"

Xiwen: "..."

Four deans: "..."

Principal Dippet: "..."

…It’s amazing that you didn’t get fired.

"Ahem." Principal Dippet cleared his throat and said to Professor Slughorn. "Horace, this is the little wizard from your academy. Come and give him the reward he deserves."

Professor Slughorn accepted the assignment with a smile and stood up.

He straightened his robe that was bulging with fat, and said to Xiwen happily: "Xiwen, this time you played a big role in eliminating the threat of infiltrators in the Forbidden Forest, and you also protected the professor and the unicorn. Your spirit is commendable, I decided to give Slytherin thirty points!"

"In addition, if you have any personal needs, you can ask me and I will try my best to help!"

Sivan didn't care much about the academy's extra points, but the personal help of a potions master like Professor Slughorn gave him a lot of room for maneuver.

He thought about it, and finally gave up the idea of ​​asking the dean to help refine the potion for the time being. That would feel like he was pushing the envelope. It seems that if you use this opportunity to only make some easy-to-achieve requirements, it will be easier to gain more favor from the dean. This will make it easier to ask the dean for more help in the future!

Xiwen felt like he was becoming scheming.

"Professor, I want to borrow some books from the library." Xiven said.
