Chapter 65: On the Eve of the Rainstorm

Summer crept into the grounds around the castle; The sky, like the lake, turned a light blue glowing with purple light, and flowers as big as cabbage bloomed in the greenhouse. Dumbledore was gone, and the school seemed to have lost its backbone, and fear crept through every corner of the school, so that the sun that warmed the castle's façade seemed to be unable to shine into the mullioned windows. Every face in the school seemed terrified, and every loud laugh in the hallways seemed harsh, eerie, and quickly suppressed.

"I said a long time ago, Dumbledore will have to leave sooner or later, he is indeed the worst headmaster this school has ever had, and now you see, I am right, if he doesn't leave, all the mudbloods in the school will be killed one by one, and Professor McGonagall will not stay long, even if she is the acting headmaster." In Potions class, Malfoy had no scruples and said with a smile.

"Your father does have a hand, at this critical moment, go into the pit, take advantage of our pre-preparations, directly drag Dumbledore into the water, let Dumbledore step down at this time, that secret room inheritor will be even more unscrupulous, this is simply opening the door for him!" Lillian's eyes flashed with a faint anger, and Lilian really didn't agree with what the Malfoy family was doing.

Malfoy coughed awkwardly and turned his head to look at Augustus, their family did act too fast this time, and pulled Dumbledore into the water before several ancient families could reflect it, if it was late, things would not be so easy. As the only son of the family, he is caught in the middle, and he is really not a human being inside and out. "Hehe, in fact, I have always disagreed with this approach, mainly because I dare not object to my father's intentions, in fact, Headmaster Dumbledore is also very good."

A hint of banter flashed in Lilian's pale blue pupils, "That's not what you said just now, your father can carry our families behind his back and accomplish such a big thing independently, you should be proud, you have been shackled by our families, and now your Malfoy family can take the lead in doing this, I have to say that it has greatly increased its prestige in the wizarding world." ”

Augustus was still expressionless, and Malfoy looked at it a few times, then lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound.

Snape walked briskly past Harry, silent on Hermione's empty seat and cauldron. "Sir," cried Pansy, "sir, why don't you apply for the position of Headmaster?"

Malfoy gave Augustus a few quick glances, then glared at Pansy a few times. "Oops, Pansy," Snape said, but he couldn't control the faint smile on his lips, "Professor Dumbledore has only been temporarily suspended by the Board, and I dare say he'll be back among us soon." "Yes, that's right," Pansy smirked, still not seeming to grasp what Malfoy meant, "sir, if you apply for this position, I'm guessing my father will vote for you." I'll tell my father that you're the best teacher here, sir, Snape swaggered up and down the basement classroom, smirking smugly, Seamus. Phinegan pretended to vomit into his pot, but luckily he didn't see it.

"Dumbledore's departure is only temporary, with his prestige and connections in the wizarding world, your father's surprise attack this time is actually of little effect, and it won't be long before he returns." Augustus said lightly as he handled the cauldron in his hand.

When Malfoy heard this, he hurriedly turned into a minion, "I also think so, who is Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard of all time, my father must have miscalculated this time, Dumbledore will probably come back soon." ”

Pansy sat next to Malfoy, looking confused, wondering why Malfoy had changed so quickly, and that his father had done it. Lillian looked at Malfoy's appearance, couldn't hold back for a moment, and burst out laughing. Malfoy awkwardly touched the back of his head and continued to cut through the ingredients with his head down.

After class, Professor Snape escorted the students to Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Lockhart jumped into the classroom, and his classmates stared at him in surprise. Every other teacher in the school seemed more serious than usual, but Lockhart seemed light-hearted. "Alright, alright," he said, looking around happily, "why are you all with long faces?" They exchanged annoyed glances, but no one answered. "Don't you notice," Lockhart said, slowing his voice as if they were all sluggish, "the danger is over!" The criminals have already been taken away. "Who said that?" Vincent's face was full of anger, for the Slytherin students, this Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher who was full of running trains had always been unreliable.

"My dear young man, Hagrid would not have been taken away if the Minister of Magic had not found him 100% guilty." Lockhart said that tone, as if someone was explaining that one plus one equals two.

"I don't think so, with Hagrid's strength, it is impossible to complete so many cases on his own." Lillian said with a look of disdain that even though many of the schoolgirls liked Lockhart, she still didn't like Lockhart very much.

"I'm confident I know a little more about Hagrid's arrest than you do, Miss Lillian." Lockhart said in a smug tone.

Augustus laughed, this man didn't know where the confidence of the road came from, so sure that it was Hagrid, he really envied his simple brain, so that he didn't have to think too much.

"Huh." Lillian scoffed twice and didn't continue.

Until the end of class, Augustus didn't care about what Lockhart was talking about, he kept thinking about the clues provided by Hagrid, what is the connection between the spider and the secret room, follow the spider, these four words are a fan, or is it just literal. Following the crowd and walking out of the classroom, Augustus found Harry Ron waiting for him at the door of the classroom, he stepped forward, and Harry also walked over.

"Mr. Augustus, shall we act tonight? Try following the spider first, and if it really doesn't work, think of another way. Harry's palms were sweating, and he wondered if Augustus would join them.

"Are you sure you want to follow up? You know, this business should be dangerous, and even I can't guarantee your safety. So, do you want to continue investigating? Augustus asked lightly.

"Hermione has been attacked now, as her friend, we will not stay out of the matter, and now that we have the clues of the spider, no matter what, we will do our best to investigate." There was an inexplicable determination in Harry's eyes, and Ron on the side did not hesitate at all.

Augustus looked at them and nodded, "In that case, we will meet at the door of the auditorium in the evening, and I hope that our operation will be fruitful this time." The weather gradually warmed, the strong sunlight shone through the window, shining around Augustus, with a dazzling halo, Harry also smiled and nodded, the person in front of him, it seemed that the same thing, the young man in white met on the train, slowly in the golden sunlight and the figure in front of him gradually coincided.
