After the Easter holidays, the students of Hogwarts were shocked to find out that their Defence Against the Dark Arts professor had disappeared?

The 7th graders in Defence Against the Dark Arts were the first to notice the problem, wondering why Professor Smith didn't show up in class, and the student council president had to tell Professor McGonagall about it.

However, to their greatest shock, Professor McGonagall didn't know what was going on.

Professor Smith's disappearance spread like a plague to the entire school.

Everyone was talking about it, and they were all wondering where Professor Smith was going, why didn't he come to give a lecture?

Most students think Professor Smith may have resigned early?

After all, there was Professor Broad's case last semester. It's just that why didn't Professor Smith inform everyone about this in advance?

Professor McGonagall was also unable to contact the missing colleague, so she had to tell Dumbledore about it.

Dumbledore, who was dealing with the Philosopher's Stone, hurried back to the school to find out what was going on.

Hogwarts Castle, 8th floor Headmaster's Quarters.

Professor McGonagall is giving Dumbledore an account of the current situation.

"The owl I sent out couldn't reach Rowanna, and he didn't say where he was going?" Professor McGonagall frowned deeply, though she was reluctant to admit it, but it was also an indisputable fact that Professor Defence Against the Dark Arts was indeed one of the most dangerous positions in the wizarding world, and it was also an indisputable fact that he changed every year.

"Didn't he tell anyone to go there?" Dumbledore asked, listening to Professor McGonagall's report.

"Nope. Professor McGonagall said, "Mr. Anderson and Sister McDoug have had a lot of contact with Rowanna, and I have asked all three of them, but I don't know where Smith went. ”

"When hasn't he been in school?" Dumbledore asked again.

"Ten days ago. "Professor McGonagall doesn't bother to care about that, after all, professors need to take vacations, and they can't even ask to stay in school on vacation," and Rowanna's family is also looking for his whereabouts. ”

Professor McGonagall puts the Daily Prophet in front of the Rector.

Dumbledore folded his hands on the table, falling into a brief silence. Actually, Dumbledore didn't have a good solution, mainly because Rowanna had been missing for too long, and some tracking magic even worked.

"Let's try to find news of Rowanna first, if it really doesn't work......" Dumbledore glanced at the missing person notice in the Daily Prophet, "I'll think of another way!"

The professors at Hogwarts were too busy to delve into it, let alone look for Rowanna, and Dumbledore had so many things to keep busy with right now that he couldn't take a break from it.

"What about Defence Against the Dark Arts class?" asked Professor McGonagall.

"Can Severus substitute for the lesson, or ......" Dumbledore's words suddenly paused, and his eyes looked at the fireplace in the headmaster's room, where a green flame was rising, and a figure came out of the flames.

"You're just in time, Bud!" Dumbledore greeted with a smile.

"I've heard that Rowanna is missing, and our old buddy Gerber is looking for him. He asked me to come to Hogwarts to see what was going on. Gerber's situation is not very good, you know, Rowanna is pretty much his favorite junior. Professor Broad said helplessly: "Half a month ago, I had a correspondence with Rowanna, how could I have disappeared inexplicably. ”

"I don't know, there's no good news on our side, and we're still confused. Professor McGonagall greeted her former colleague and said helplessly, "Rowanna left Hogwarts during the Easter break, and no one knows where he went. ”

This is a very sensitive matter, the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is not very popular, and now that another one is missing, Professor McGonagall is even a little worried about scaring away other applicants, what if she can't find a professor?

"By the way, Bard, there's something I want to ask you for!" Dumbledore suddenly said, "Can you come back and help......"

"No, the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is so wicked, I even kindly wonder if Rowanna's disappearance has something to do with that damn curse. Professor Broad simply declined Dumbledore's invitation, laughing at himself, "Thankfully, I was a pretty good runner last year, so I didn't have a bad deal because of this." ”

Professor McGonagall frowned, but she had to admit that the one in front of her was the luckiest Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in recent decades.

"No, I just want you to come back as a substitute teacher, I've found the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for next semester. Dumbledore kindly reminded, "If you need to investigate Rowanna, you may be able to find some useful clues by staying at the school." ”

"Substitute teaching...... Alright!" Professor Broder stroked his beard and agreed, "Just these two months." ”

Rowanna Smith's disappearance attracted the attention of the wizarding world, and the Smith family offered a high bounty, and even used many methods, but still could not find his whereabouts, as if the whole person had evaporated from the world.

"The prophecy failed. ”

Nicol Lemay looked at the crystal that had not changed in the slightest, shook his head and said, "I think...... The person you're looking for may be dead!"

Without a doubt, this is the worst news Dumbledore has heard so far.

"Dead?"

"The dead have no future, and they don't need it. "Of course, it's possible that someone used strong magic on him and interfered with my prophecy, but it's not very likely." ”

"It's terrible!"

Dumbledore was considering whether to tell his old friend about it!

He didn't know that Gerber Smith had known about it for a long time, and he knew the truth of the matter, and all he did was to disguise himself.

Of course, Rowanna's death is also a heavy blow to this old man who is almost over 100 years old.

When Professor Broad took over from Smith, he gradually erased any remaining traces.

Mr. Mogg has turned Smith's bones into a stone and buried them forever in an unknown place deep in the Forbidden Forest. No one will ever know that Rowanna Smith is there, let alone find his body.

The students at Hogwarts were curious about what had happened to Professor Smith, but they were relieved to hear that Professor Broad had been the substitute teacher. After all, this Professor Broad is also very reliable.

I don't know when a new rumor will appear in the school, and Professor Defence Against the Dark Arts has really been cursed, so Professor Smith has disappeared inexplicably.
