Chapter 63: The Headmaster's Danger

[It's back, the update is back to normal.] 〕

Time flies, a week has passed, the rumors about the secret room have become more and more intense, and now the students staying at Hogwarts are all in danger, no one knows whether the next victim will be themselves, especially the students who do not belong to the pure-blood family, in this school where murders occur frequently, it is even more like walking on thin ice, every move is cautious, and classes are gathered in groups of three or five, to this day, there is still no clue about the news of the secret room, and the teachers are also secretive about it, It's as if there weren't so many attacks at all.

"This school is going to close, if it weren't for the fact that we haven't had an attack in Slytherin so far, I'd have asked my dad for a transfer, I've heard that schools far away in Germany are very good, although there is a lot of fanaticism about learning about black arts." In the auditorium hall, most of the students were gloomy, but Malfoy still looked very unconcerned.

"Oh? Are you transferring schools? That's great, I think you're a good guy to stay at Hogwarts, you should go to that so-called dark arts school, it must be your paradise. Loki scoffed and said nonchalantly.

"Come on, stop laughing at Malfoy, now that there are so many attacks in the school, I really want to find out who is the real murderer behind the scenes, this person is really very hidden, even Dumbledore can't do anything about him, although he has never hurt a Slytherin student, but with this murderer's twisted psychology, it is inevitable that he will suddenly murder a Slytherin student, maybe the next one is you and me." The only way to do this is to be vigilant, what Mr. Augustus has taught us is our greatest reliance, and I feel that as long as this murderer is not too strong, we will all have the strength to fight. Lilian held her chin and said with a melancholy expression, so many people were attacked, and it still had some effect on her.

Augustus looked solemn, about the secret room, he didn't have a lot of clues, only knew that Lu Dao was the heir of Slytherin, and had the ability to petrify people, the important thing is that in every petrification scene, there has never been any key clues, just like a ghost who asks for his life, after completing the case, he disappeared silently, it simply came and went without a trace, and he couldn't find a trace of what he could leave behind, if he could master some more key points.

"Mr. Augustus, we have something to say to you." Harry and Ron hurried over to Augustus and said anxiously.

"Oh? Okay, let's get out of the way. Augustus nodded, and led the two to a remote corner outside the auditorium.

"Before Hermione was petrified, she told us that she had found key evidence, so she ignored our dissuasion and went to the library alone to check the information, and now she is petrified, so there is no way to learn anything from her, but Hagrid has clues about the heir of the secret room, so we want to ask you to go to Hagrid's hut with us tonight to lie down, this is the most difficult clue, with you, even if the heir appears, I don't think it may be able to hurt us, so please." Harry said to Augustus with a sincere expression.

Augustus groaned slightly, this was indeed the most difficult clue, it seemed that it was necessary to go to Hagrid's hut to lie down, so he quickly decided to go to Hagrid's hut with them at night, agreed on a time and place, and the few of them said goodbye and left.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Augustus and Harry Ron gathered in front of the foyer, and the three of them began to walk in the direction of the Forbidden Forest in the darkness. Augustus cast an invisibility spell on himself, and Harry Ron donned the cloak of invisibility and walked through the sentry posts to the outside of the school. Teachers, prefects, and ghosts patrol the hallways in pairs, looking around for anything out of the ordinary. Harry's cloak of invisibility didn't prevent them from making noises, and at one point it was particularly thrilling, when Ron suddenly tripped and Snape stood guard a few steps away from him. Thankfully, Snape sneezed almost at the same time that Ron cursed. They were relieved when they finally came to the oak doors and gently opened them. It was a starry night, and they hurried towards the lighted window of Hagrid's dwelling, until they reached his door, where they took off their robes and Augustus lifted his invisibility.

A few seconds after they knocked, Hagrid slammed the door open. They met Hagrid with a set of bows and arrows pointed at them, and the Great Hound Tooth barked loudly behind him. "Oh, it's you," he said, putting down his weapons and glaring at them, "what are you two doing here?,, "What are you doing here?" As they walked into the house, Harry pointed to the bow and arrow. "Nothing," Hagrid muttered, "I thought it was okay to sit down, I'll make tea," he seemed a little unsettled, and the water in the kettle spilled, almost extinguishing the fire, and then his thick hand shook violently, knocking the teapot over. "You're all right, Hagrid?" Augustus asked, "Have you heard about Hermione?,, "Oh, yes, I did." Hagrid said, his voice choked up.

He was always looking nervously at the window. He poured a large glass of boiling water for each of them (forgot to put the tea bag,) and was about to put a thick piece of fruit cake on a plate, when there was a loud knock at the door.

Hagrid threw away the fruitcake, Harry glanced at Augustus, and quickly put on the cloak of invisibility with Ron, Augustus cast an invisibility spell on himself, and the three disappeared into the house. When Hagrid saw that they were all hidden, he grabbed his bow and arrows, and slammed the door open again. "Good evening, Hagrid." It was Dumbledore. He walked in with a very serious expression, followed by a very strange-looking man. The stranger was short, stocky, stocky, with messy gray hair and an anxious look on his face. The clothes on his body were a strange hodgepodge: a pinstriped suit, a bright red tie, a long black cloak, and purple pointed-toe boots. He wore a dark green top hat under his arm.

"That's my dad's boss!" Ron gasped and said, "Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic!" Harry used his elbow to pound Ron hard and shut him up. Hagrid's face turned pale, and his head began to sweat. He slumped into a chair and looked at Dumbledore and then at Cornelius Fudge.

At this time, what does the appearance of the Minister of Magic mean, Augustus is awe-inspiring, is the fact so serious that the Ministry of Magic needs to intervene? If this is the case, Dumbledore's position may not be saved, even if the Julius family intervenes, it will be difficult to convince the public, and it seems that things are evolving in the worst direction. If the real culprit behind the scenes is not caught early, the school will fall into the most dangerous moment since its founding. Augustus touched his chin, and there was a blinding light in his silver pupils.
