Chapter 136: A Howling Letter to the Headmaster

Because of Professor Lupin's affairs, the atmosphere in the castle was heavy.

Evan didn't know how many people had insomnia tonight, but he didn't sleep well anyway.

The same seemed to be true of Hermione, who was lying in the hospital bed next to her, tossing and turning all night, worrying about what was going on with Lupin and Ron.

In the second half of the night, Evan was once again awakened by a nightmare.

He simply sat up from the bed and looked at the snowflakes flying out the window by the dim candlelight in the hallway.

Evan thought of the conversation he had just had with Dumbledore, and he didn't know if his hard work on Occlumency had come in handy, but it was an indisputable fact that the topic had always been dominated by Dumbledore.

Similarly, he didn't know what the headmaster was planning.

Evan said that the reason why Dumbledore didn't directly capture Peter Pettigrew was simply so that he and Harry could help Ron resist the Imperius Curse, which was too risky.

As a true schemer, Dumbledore must have had other thoughts he hadn't told.

Evan sighed, no matter what he thought, he couldn't figure it out. But one thing is certain, because of his relationship with Harry, and his outstanding performances in the last two years, he has been included in Dumbledore's plan to defeat Voldemort.

Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it.

Dumbledore had his layout, and Evan had his own plans.

He was not a banner to be at Dumbledore's mercy, and ended up falling victim to Voldemort's confrontation like everyone else.

Evan is ready to do what he wants, he wants to change his own destiny and change the fate of everyone.

He wouldn't let Sirius Black, Fred, Colin and others die anyway, and he couldn't just watch Hermione marry Ron, these things needed to change, and he was ready to start with Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew first.

After this year's events are over, he will stop Voldemort from returning, and strengthen himself

Evan thought so, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

The battle with Greyback had left him exhausted and overloaded, and after a few seconds of making up his mind, he fell back into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Evan was woken up by the loud shaking of the castle.

"What happened?" he scrambled out of bed, holding his wand in his hand.

"I don't know!" Hermione shook her head, she had just woken up.

"You two better stay out of the way, lie back down!" Madam Pomfrey walked in from outside, looking a little worried, "I knew these noises were going to wake you up, it was terrible, and now it's a mess down there." ”

"Why?"

"It's not because of Lupin, poor man!" Madam Pomfrey said worriedly, handing the latest issue of the Daily Prophet to Aven, "Look, almost everyone knows by now that Professor Lupin is a werewolf. ”

Evan hurriedly looked down at the newspaper in his hand, and Hermione came over. All sections of the newspaper were reporting on last night's werewolf riots, what happened, casualty figures, in-depth analysis, etc., as well as articles blaming the Ministry of Magic and Fudge.

The fear and anger that people had been building up since Sirius Black's escape erupted in an instant.

The main bearers of the anger were Cornelius Fudge and the Ministry of Magic, and the Ministry was harshly accused of inaction.

Dumbledore was also criticized as Fudge, although the wording in the Daily Prophet was more subtle, but many people, especially the parents of the students, were deeply shocked that Dumbledore hired a werewolf to teach at Hogwarts, and the pure-blood family led by Malfoy even collectively demanded Dumbledore's resignation.

In short, Fudge and Dumbledore are under a lot of pressure, and the situation is very bad!

As for Professor Lupin, as the only werewolf currently captured by the Ministry of Magic, many wizards have called for him to be immediately imprisoned in Azkaban, and many have even suggested that he be punished with a dementor's kiss.

Seeing this paragraph, Hermione's face turned pale.

She thought about what Professor Lupin had said, that those who had been kissed by the Dementors would henceforth live like walking corpses, and their souls would never be recovered!

If this was the end of Professor Lupin, Hermione couldn't have imagined.

Just as she was about to tell Aven about this, there was another strong tremor in the castle, like an earthquake, and even the walls were shaking.

A few seconds after the tremors, a loud and strange echo came from below, sounding like it

"What's that sound?" Hermione asked, looking up, worried.

"It's a roaring letter!" Since this morning, the owl has been flying to the school with a steady stream of howling letters from the parents of the students, and it's terrible!" said Madam Pomfrey, "and every professor has a share, but most of it is sent to the principal." ”

"A yelling letter to the Headmaster?!" Hermione didn't seem to react, "Where's Professor Dumbledore?"

"Who knows?! He hasn't been back since he left last night. Madam Pomfrey said worriedly, "The matter of the werewolf and Professor Lupin must have kept him busy! Even though he himself is not at Hogwarts, these letters are still coming in a steady stream, almost filling the entire Great Hall!"

Madam Pomfrey had finished speaking when Harry walked into the hospital room.

He looked in a terrible state, depressed and dazed, with two large shadows under his eyes.

"Good morning, Aven, good morning, Hermione!" Harry said weakly.

"Good morning, Harry, your face looks bad!" Hermione looked at him anxiously.

"It's really not good, if you just saw that picture in the auditorium, I guess it would be as bad as me. Harry sat down on the chair next to Aven's hospital bed and said in dismay, "Malfoy and Snape's plot has succeeded, and at breakfast, hundreds of owls rushed into the Great Hall with howling letters, all blaming Dumbledore and Professor Lupin!

"But everyone believes in Professor Lupin, and he's innocent!"

"It didn't work, no one wanted to believe us at all, and the adults were all listening to Ron's nonsense about accusing Professor Lupin of assaulting the students. Harry said angrily, "I want to beat him up until he comes to his senses." ”

"Harry, there must be some misunderstanding here!" Hermione said worriedly, "Ron is"

Hermione paused, and when Evan came back last night, he told herself about his conversation with Dumbledore, and she knew that Ron had been so unusual last night because of the Imperius Curse.

It was a plan between Evan and Dumbledore and Sirius Black, and Hermione wasn't sure if she could tell the story.
