The Druid Master of Hogwarts - Chapter 666
When Williamson and Dumbledore arrived at Hogsmeade Village, the whole village was noisy, and everyone complained, expressing strong feelings about Kingsley for waking them up from their sleep. dissatisfied.
But Kingsley and the others didn’t have the time to break up with them at this time. After driving them away from the screaming shack, the four left Aurors were on the only path leading to the screaming shack in the village. waiting for you
As for the tunnel leading to Hogwarts, they had already destroyed it with their spells.
However, after waiting for a while, the basilisk did not appear, Kingsley thought for a moment, summoned his lynx patron saint, and flew to the screaming shack.
The lynx Patronus circled the Screaming Shack before flying back unharmed.
“Looks like the basilisk has left?” Kingsley said uncertainly.
“How’s the situation, Kingsley?” Just then, Dumbledore and Williamson came to his side.
“The basilisk doesn’t seem to have any intention of coming to the village,” Kingsley glanced at Dumbledore and said with a little dissatisfaction: “Do you know what’s going on? Dumbledore, why is the basilisk? In the screaming shack?”
“You’re embarrassing me, Kingsley.” Dumbledore shook his head, “The Screaming Shack was originally just used to make Remus transform at the full moon, and after he graduated, No one uses it anymore, he used it for a while when he went back to school as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts last year.”
There were other Aurors present, and of course Dumbledore couldn’t tell the truth.
“Remus? Remus Lupin?” Williamson was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: “I see! This way the time is right! After I found out that Lupin was a werewolf, I was curious about him at school. Where did you hide and transform when you were there?”
“Clap clap clap clap”
At this moment, a series of harsh explosions sounded, and Cornelius Fudge and a group of Aurors Apparated to the vicinity.
“How’s the situation?!” As soon as the sweaty Fudge appeared, he asked anxiously: “There are no casualties?!”
“There are no new victims yet,” Kingsley replied in a deep voice, “I just used the Patronus to test it out, and the basilisk seems to be gone. It may also be that it has no desire to attack.”
“That’s good,” Cornelius Fudge breathed a sigh of relief, then snapped back to his senses and asked nervously, “You mean new? Has anyone been attacked?”
“It’s Umbridge, Minister,” said Kingsley, frowning. “If it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t have alerted the basilisk at all.”
He briefly talked to Fudge about what had happened in the Shrieking Shack, and Williamson added a few words from time to time.
Fudge was again relieved to hear that only one Umbridge had been lost.
But he still felt that something was wrong.
Is it too coincidental? Everyone else is fine, only the initiator suffers
But now is not the time to think about it. If you really let a basilisk come out and make a mess, it will be a big trouble!
“Albus, look at this.” When faced with difficulties, Cornelius Fudge thought of Dumbledore’s good fortune again. He looked at it with some embarrassment, and then raised the righteousness: “If the basilisk escapes, the situation will change. Incredible.”
“Even if you don’t say it, I’ll do it.” Dumbledore said lightly: “Pick two Aurors to follow me, let’s go and see together first, there are too many people I’m worried about angering them.”
“That’s right! That’s right!” Fudge nodded again and again, and seemed to have changed back to Dumbledore’s answering worm. “Kingsley, Delix, you two follow Albus to see! Be careful!”
After a while, the three returned, and brought back the petrified Umbridge.
“How’s it going? Has the basilisk been resolved?” Fudge quickly approached Dumbledore and asked anxiously. He didn’t even bother to look at Umbridge, who didn’t know his life or death.
“The basilisk is no longer there.” Dumbledore shook his head, and then said to himself with a little doubt: “Is that really a basilisk?”
“What do you mean by that?” I don’t know if it was because the Basilisk was gone, or because of Dumbledore’s questioning a certain nerve, Fudge became tough again, and he asked in dissatisfaction: “Do you think magic Are the Aurors lying?”
“Don’t worry, Connelly.” Dumbledore didn’t take it seriously, he smiled lightly, and explained: “I don’t doubt that Kingsley and the others mean it, it’s just from Umbridge’s situation. Look, that snake doesn’t look very much like the legendary basilisk.”
Dumbledore was also secretly rejoicing at this time. Fortunately, he blocked the news about the basilisk at the beginning, and Professor McGonagall had always restrained Fish and prevented him from showing off with Ouroboros.
“Umbridge?” Fudge then turned his attention to Umbridge, who was lying motionless on the ground. “Is she not dead yet?”
“No, she was just petrified, it should be some kind of very powerful black magic.” Dumbledore explained: “If it is a basilisk, even if she does not plan to eat Umbridge, she should not be here now. state.”
When Mrs. Norris was petrified, only a few people knew about it. Most of the students only knew that it was attacked, but they didn’t know the specific circumstances.
And those who know the situation will basically not betray Fish. The only person who may leak the secret is Lockhart, who is still in Azkaban, so Dumbledore is not worried about Fudge. linked to an attack on a cat years ago.
“Moreover, the basilisk will appear near the village, which is not quite in line with its habits. You must know that there are chickens in the village.” Dumbledore said again.
“Raising chickens? What does this have to do with basilisks?” Fudge wondered.
It was Dawlish who explained softly in his ear: “According to records, the roar of a rooster is deadly to the basilisk. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”
Dumbledore nodded approvingly at Delix, and said, “That’s right, Delix. I remember that your exam results seemed to be excellent, and it seems that you did not return the knowledge you learned in school to West. Ervanus.”
Then he turned to Fudge again, and continued to deflect his thoughts: “So I think that what Kingsley and the others saw was probably just a snake that had been cast on the Expansion Curse, probably a dark wizard hiding in What dangerous research is going on in the Shrieking Shack, it’s a good hiding place after all”
“Of course, just in case, you’d better have someone search the neighborhood, Connelly.” Dumbledore saw Fudge in deep thought, and added the suggestion.
“Don’t order me!” Fudge, who is very sensitive to this kind of thing, snarled at Dumbledore in dissatisfaction: “I know what to do!”
Dumbledore shrugged nonchalantly.
Then
“Kingsley, take the others to look for the trace of the snake carefully!” Fudge commanded with a dark face.
If this matter is not closely related to his position, he is a minister of the Ministry of Magic, and he does not want to follow Dumbledore’s advice!
“Dawlish, you take Umbridge back with me!”
Fudge didn’t want to stay by Dumbledore’s side any longer, so he started Apparating and left.

I thought about tossing Umbridge too much, but it didn’t fit the cat’s character.
With Mao Mao’s character, if someone offended him, he wouldn’t hold grudges any more after a lesson.
If Fish had cared too much about Umbridge, he was flattering her, so that’s it.
