Mr. Malfoy and the 'new Headmaster' left the Headmaster's office on the front foot, and Professor McGonagall slammed the door shut with her wand.

"He's really fast." There was a sarcastic look on her face, "In order to make Albus unable to reinstate his position as headmaster, I dare say that he is absolutely prepared. Albus had only been gone for a night, and he couldn't wait to put his puppet on the throne! ”

"It's a hassle now, Minerva." Professor Flitwick tilted his head and said worriedly. "The new headmaster has been selected in advance, even if only as an acting headmaster, without formal authorization and recognition from the Ministry of Magic...... But Lucius's plan succeeded. He used Carlo's idiot to stop Albus's return for the time being, and there is no way we can force a principal who has not committed any mistakes to resign as soon as he takes office without a valid reason. ”

"Maybe we can go to the rest of the board?" Professor Sprout frowned, "Albus has contributed so much to this school, he has almost dedicated most of his life to Hogwarts!" Moreover, Albus is now the strongest wizard in the British wizarding world, so it stands to reason that the board of directors should not put "

"Of course the board doesn't think so, Pomona." Professor McGonagall snorted, "I don't think the Board would have chosen to remove Albus from office at Hogwarts' most critical moment, that would only make things worse...... Perhaps Lucius had caught the board of directors with something that forced them to unanimously pass a resolution to dismiss Albus. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to relenting the board of directors by reasoning alone......"

"Then we ...... now"

"Wait." Professor McGonagall squeezed the word out between her teeth. "Pomona, go to the owl hut now, tell Albus what is happening here, and see what he thinks. I think Lucius was acting too quickly, he seemed to know everything that was going on in the castle, and the first time Long Bottom was taken away was only known to Filch, the four of us, and Patton. So, where did Lucius get this information? ”

The three branch chiefs, including Snape, looked at each other.

"You seem to be suspicious that one of us will snitch Lucius?" Sprout glanced at Snape, seemingly inadvertently. If there is a scheming person in this, it must be this Severus who has been teaching in the castle for more than ten years but has never been seen through by anyone other than Dumbledore. His mind was so hidden that until now, Dumbledore was the only one in the castle who trusted him unconditionally.

However, he did not wait for Snape to squirt out the venom in his mouth, nor did he wait for Professor McGonagall to question Sprout's words...... A fifth voice rang out in the room. For some reason, it was Lockhart, who was smiling beautifully on the sidelines, who spoke first.

"No, no, Pomona, you misunderstood. I don't think Minerva was talking about the people in this room, but about something else, and there was an undercover agent in the castle right now. Not just for Mr. Malfoy, but also for the undercover agent who directly serves the mysterious man. ”

Professor McGonagall glanced at him...... She never expected that the idea in her heart was actually the first to be guessed by Lockhart.

"What? No, it's just ridiculous! Sprout's eyes widened. The mystery man has already fallen apart, and all the faithful Death Eaters should be imprisoned in Azkaban, and it is undoubtedly extremely foolish to pledge allegiance to him at this time! How could anyone choose to do that? ”

"But apparently that's the truth, Pomona. Otherwise, why do you think a mere diary would sneak into a secret chamber a few miles below the castle? It doesn't have long legs, and it can't do anything without help! And, when we fought Riddle's imaginary image in the Chamber of Secrets, he himself admitted that it was his faithful servant who found him when he was most helpless. It was this undercover agent who helped Riddle's journal complete a series of attacks, and it was he who passed the news of the abduction of the students to Lucius, so that he could quickly seize the opportunity to deal with it. and drove Albus out of the castle in one fell swoop. ”

"But who is he?"

………… Everyone stared at Lockhart, and the air seemed to freeze.

"That's what we're desperate to get to the bottom of." Lockhart spread his hands helplessly, and it was even more impossible for Brandi to know about things that he had mixed in halfway through. "In fact, when I was in the secret room, I had a plan that was feasible...... Maybe it can help Albus get back to Hogwarts, but with Mr. Malfoy making such a fuss, maybe the plan needs to be changed a little, and we can use this opportunity to try to find out if we can get that undercover agent out. ”

"Opportunity? What are you talking about, Gildero? ”

Lockhart pretended to pat his robe, straighten out his disguise, and showed his eight dazzling teeth to the unknown professors, smiling triumphantly at the memory of what Brandi had mentioned to him about his unique energy.

In this way, following Dumbledore's resignation, the school announced that Hogwarts would be closed...... And then to the secret room was permanently sealed, and after a guy called the basilisk inside was cleanly poked in the head by Professor Lockhart, the students who experienced the ups and downs of life and stimulated their scalps were numb, and received the third bombshell since they were woken up, and it was only 12 hours before the previous principal stepped down, and the school ushered in a new headmaster!

They learned the news while they were having breakfast in the auditorium.

At that time, when it was first learned that Hogwarts would continue, the vast majority of people were elated. Everyone cheered uncontrollably from their seats, and the Weasley brothers stood up and performed a peacock dance. In fact, almost no one thought there was anything wrong with them, and even Percy, who had always been business-oriented, looked at his pair of living brothers with a smile at this time, and did not make any ruinous remarks.

As a result, Professor McGonagall brought this unbelievable news at this time.

Has the Headmaster of Hogwarts changed? That white-bearded wizard, Professor Dumbledore, who was admired by everyone, had high mana, and smiled all day long, didn't even come back?!

"Mr. Caro is a well-known wizard with a knack for Defence Against the Dark Arts, and during his tenure as a mysterious man, he managed to infiltrate the Death Eaters, contributing a lot of information to the Ministry of Magic after the war......... In conclusion, Mr. Amikuskaro will take office tomorrow. I hope that all students can show enough respect to the new interim principal, abide by the reasonable rules and disciplines promulgated by the principal, and do not cause trouble. ”

"Uh...... This speech seems to be a gun with a stick. Who is that person? Professor McGonagall seemed to dislike him. ”

"Isn't that the stupid son of the Caro family, who escaped the trial by pretending to be crazy and stupid when he captured the Death Eaters, how could he suddenly become the headmaster of Hogwarts? I remember he had a younger sister who was now working for the French Ministry of Magic. ”

"I heard that the Caro family had joined the Death Eaters, and now most of the family members have fled abroad."

"Let the Death Eaters lead us? That's not true. ”

When Professor McGonagall finished a large paragraph of his speech with a blank face, it was like a depth charge exploding in the water, setting off waves in the crowd. Everyone was talking to each other about the new professor, and the Weasley brothers looked at Professor McGonagall in amazement, the peacock feathers of the spell on their butts falling like fallen leaves.

"Professor, are you kidding? I just had a hallucination and heard that our headmaster was going to be a fool who was scared to tears in the Wizengamot courtroom? Fred asked dryly, twitching the muscles of his cheeks unnaturally.

"Watch your words and actions, Weasley, I don't want a new headmaster to fire a Gryffindor the next day." Professor McGonagall snapped, but the corners of her mouth curled up as if to indicate how much she liked Fred's good opinion of the new Principal. "In addition, there are two things to announce: First, I believe everyone already knows that the secret room has been completely solved by Professor Lockhart. And the mandrakes will be fully mature in a week or so, and all the attackers will be back to everyone in perfect condition, and in celebration of this, I announce that today's class has been cancelled. ”

The cheers almost lifted the ceiling. All the fellows who don't like to study are excitedly tapping their cups with their knives and forks, shouting; The top students, on the other hand, sat at their desks in a daze with gloomy facesUnfortunately, no matter what school they were in, the scum would always outnumber the top students in terms of quantity and quality, so much so that Professor McGonagall had to cast a spell to make her voice higher than the crowd that got carried away.

"Well, the second thing," Professor McGonagall yelled, quieting everyone down. "Since Professor Lockhart was not badly injured in the battle with the basilisk and needed time to finish his new book, The Days of Drilling with the Basilisk, he had to take a break from everyone for a month or two, of course, and as compensation, every student in the room will receive a copy of his new book."

………… At about the same moment, the three of them in the hospital room were listening to Lockhart's rambling and boasting about his seamless plan, and after his brain struggled to filter out the irrelevant information, Brandi finally got the information he wanted. He suddenly felt that he was a little underestimating the guy in front of him who had only known how to brag. It's just that......

"So you and Professor McGonagall are going to use this to slowly push that undercover agent out?"

"If he's really the guy who told Lucius to come to school and get rid of Albus. In the face of Amicus's increasing pressure, he should not sit idly by. ”

Lockhart nodded confidently, the feeling of being valued and recognized in the true sense of the word made him feel more pleasant than ever.

Brandi frowned, lost in thought. He remembered that Riddle didn't know the true identity of 'Longbottom' until the end...... The undercover agent should know that there is no one in the castle named Bruce Longbottom...... But why didn't he say it?

That so-called undercover agent is really just a loyal servant of Voldemort?
