The notice was plastered all over the school almost overnight, and more news was being learned by the students from the late Prophet this morning, which had been thrown on the table by the owls, knocking over bowls of vegetable soup and cereal, causing a small commotion, as if the newspaper had been trying to get out of the urgent special issue of the issue, so that the messengers who had never been late would be late.

"How's your preparation, Harry? I bet you'll do better than Ning'an...... Hey...... I mean......" Ron was going to comfort Harry, who was not in a good mood, but when he realized that he was just making things worse, he stopped talking.

Harry silently drank the vegetable soup in front of him, and for a moment he slept like a different person, and in five semesters, Ron remembered never seeing Harry at breakfast time and vegetable soup, and he had said more than once how bad it was, and it always reminded him of the smell of the Dursleys' cupboards.

"The owl is actually late today," Ron said in a pretended incredulous voice, "In my experience, there is only one reason why the Daily Prophet is late, and that is that there is big news, so let's see-"

Ron looked left and right, neither he nor Harry had subscribed to the Daily Prophet, and when Hermione wasn't eating with them, they couldn't even get a copy of the newspaper.

"Hey, Dean, what's going on?" Ron reached out to Dean Thomas, who was seated one seat away, holding the newspaper and his mouth slightly open, as if he was shocked by the incredible news he had seen.

Ron gently took the newspaper over, and Dean didn't refuse, "Oh my God, you guys take a good look and tell me it's not true, please, what's going on?" It's true? But...... This...... How is this possible? ”

"What's the matter? Mysterious and mysterious? Ron muttered, intending to distract Harry and make his friend feel better, but now he had piqued his interest.

Spread out the newspaper, the front page headline was prominently printed with a bold and enlarged black headline - Dumbledore was being hunted

"Something is wrong...... Ron put his shoulder on Harry, calling his spirit back from the vegetable soup, "Look-"

Handing Harry half a piece of newspaper, Ron whispered the contents of the newspaper:

According to a source in the Ministry of Magic, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the recipient of the Merlin Order of Merlin, the former representative of the British seat of the International Confederation of Wizards, a member of the Wizengamot, and the chief wizard Dumbledore was accused of being the mastermind behind the "break-in" that occurred on the 27th. ”

Harry tightened his face and cast his eyes on Ron's newspaper, Ron took a deep breath, didn't have time to say anything, and quickly continued reading, at this time, Ernie McMillan and Justin Finchrie of Hufflepuff House also came over, stood behind the two, and listened to Ron read

"The intruder Stojee Podmore attempted to break into the Ministry of Magic and commit a robbery on the night of the 27th, but was captured by the Ministry of Magic guard Eric Munch, who found that he was trying to break through a level 1 secret door at one o'clock in the morning, and after being captured, Stoji Podmore confessed that the mastermind behind it was Dumbledore, who was the 'Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry'."

"That's," Ernie said almost without thinking, "this man named Stoic must be insane, how could he just bite Dumbledore on his head?" ”

"Don't talk just yet—" Ron complained that he had been interrupted, and Harry raised his hand and thumped his groggy head, the name Stoicjee, he seemed to have heard it somewhere, but damn it, he just couldn't remember it now.

Because of Qiu Zhang's rejection, his life has become a mess, no matter what he does, he can't concentrate, Qiu Zhang's sweet smile at Ning An and the appearance when he coldly rejected him will always be dangling in his mind.

"The Ministry of Magic/Zhang Cornelius Oswald Fudge and the head of the Auror Office, Rufus Scrimge, went to Hogwarts on the night of the 29th to arrest Dumbledore, but were met with strong resistance—"

Ron paused and swallowed, this time no one spoke, the words in the newspaper were too small, everyone waited for Ron to continue reading, Harry also gave up his memories for a while, and refocused on the newspaper page on the right, Dumbledore's picture was enlarged in the center of the newspaper, and he was smiling softly at this time.

"Dumbledore subdued the Ministry/Zhang and his party during the sneak attack, including several Aurors and senior investigators, and then fled, and the Ministry of Magic conducted a search at Hogwarts that night, but it is reported that Dumbledore's whereabouts were not found, and the source suspects that Dumbledore has left Hogwarts-"

"Hey, Dumbledore doesn't need a sneak attack at all." Justin Finchrie scoffed, unhappy with the use of words like "sneak attack."

Dumbledore escaped? Harry was stunned, that is, Dumbledore is not at school now?

Inexplicably flustered, Harry suddenly realized that no matter how many times he had thought that "Dumbledore hates me, he doesn't care about me at all", he still sees Dumbledore as an important supporter in his heart.

If Voldemort were to attack Hogwarts, who would protect it? Harry shuddered, a little unthinkable.

However, Ron didn't finish reading it, he took a few deep breaths, as if to give himself time to buffer and digest the shock information, and then read on:

"According to sources, Stoic Podmore, who accused Dumbledore as the mastermind behind the scenes, had joined the Order of the Phoenix, a magical society formed by Dumbledore, and on the night of the 29th, Stoigie died, the exact cause of death is unknown, and it is reported that there is also a staff member from the Ministry of Magic who is also missing."

Ron couldn't help but shake his shoulders and shiver when he read this, although the weather was cold at the beginning of November, the sun shone through the castle auditorium, and it was bustling here, and there was no cold in it.

But the students standing at this table at this moment seem to be under a dark roof, unable to be warmed by the sun, and a smell of conspiracy has already been coming out, in any case, for the students who firmly believe that Dumbledore is innocent and framed, this is a conspiracy.

"It's—" Ron put down the newspaper and looked at Harry in surprise, almost speechless, the two of them looked at each other and neither could say why.

"Dumbledore will definitely come back, he is innocent," Ernie McMillan said firmly, "They tried to get rid of him when we were in our second year, but they didn't, and this time it was the same!" ”

Is that so? Harry asked himself, but his uneasy heart couldn't answer in the affirmative, and he looked at another long table not far away, where Hermione and Ning An were seated together, opposite Draco Malfoy, who Harry was familiar with, and another girl, Daphne Greengrass, who had been a Hogwarts student.

"Do you think this will have anything to do with Ning An?" After McMillan, Justin Finchreary, Dean Thomas, and the others left, finishing breakfast and walking out of the auditorium, Harry asked Ron sullenly.

"How is that possible?" Ron looked at Harry in surprise, as if he had said something unacceptably crazy, "He's been in school all along?" ”

Harry shook his head and didn't continue, he didn't know why, but in a moment's thought, when he saw Ning An indifferently eating breakfast with Hermione and the others, talking and laughing, as if he didn't know what was going on at Hogwarts, Harry intuitively felt unusual.

Afternoon

Although Umbridge became the acting headmaster of Hogwarts, the headmaster's office was automatically closed after Dumbledore left, and Umbridge could not pass through the two monsters at the door, so he still worked in his office, but added a large wooden name tag on his desk with the word headmaster written in gold letters.

"You want to go back?"

Instead of sitting behind the desk in peace and triumph, enjoying the pleasure of power, the new headmaster stood respectfully like a waiter, with disks hanging on the wall behind her, and a few ugly cats were bouncing around on the plates, Ning An withdrew his gaze from the plates, walked around the desk, and boredomically posed with a quill on the table.

"Hmm." He lowered his head and responded with a match: "I won't always stay here, there are other things to deal with." ”

Ning An was telling the truth, Dumbledore was no longer at Hogwarts, and he couldn't learn more about the magic of "love" here, and as the headmaster and the leader of an organization like Serpent, it was impossible for him to be at ease every day.

Although Pani is very capable, he can't handle everything for Ning An after all, including letting some of the people with enough ability in the snake letter go to the Ministry of Magic to exercise, and even Samantha and Walter's arrangements, Ning An needs to personally discuss with Leohard, Jung, Crouch and Karkaroff.

"I'll leave it to you."

Ning An reached out to pat Umbridge on the shoulder, but when he saw her sweet and scary smile, he still stopped his movements, just pressed it falsely, and then withdrew his hand in a wrench, inexplicably feeling that Fudge was able to appoint Dolores as his deputy minister/zhang and become his confidant, which was also a very good thing to express patience.

"No problem, master!" Umbridge raised his eyes with a smile on his face, and his voice became sharp and thin, and the joy in them could be faintly heard.

"Show me Harry Potter, I want to know his every move."

Ning An sat in an ordinary pink chair, of course he could go and sit in the chair that belonged to the "current principal", but this was not very tempting for Ning An.

Habitually tapping his fingers on his cheeks, Ning An began to think about the only thing he couldn't decide at Hogwarts, about Harry's strange behavior, although he had discussed with Snape whether he had been poisoned and drank a drug that confused his mind, but Ning An didn't have time to worry about it now.

Let Snape be distressed, he thought to himself.

"Okay, master, I see!"

Umbridge bent very low, as if to prove her loyalty, and her swimming ring-like waist could bend to such an extent, making Ning An wonder if she had used magic to turn the flesh of her belly away.

"So, I'm leaving."

Ning An walked to the fireplace, and the meows in the porcelain plate on the wall all shrank back, only revealing half of their heads, secretly looking at Ning An.

Without listening to Umbridge's goodbye, Ning An grabbed the star-like crumbs from a small plate in the corner of the fireplace and raised them towards the fire.

The fire turned emerald green and grew higher and higher, and Ning An stepped into the fire, glanced at Umbridge's office one last time, and shouted, "D'Mulberry Strong!" Then it was gone.

The office was quiet again, and Umbridge stood there with a disgusting, friendly smile on her face.

"Harry Potter, Harry Potter, the owner made me look at Harry Potter."

Her little bean-like eyes spun back and forth a few times, and she stomped her foot as if she had an idea.

"I should have this school under complete control, only then can I live up to the ...... my master's expectations," he muttered, circling in place, "I need a special investigation team...... The investigative action team does not need too many people, some elite students can. ”

"Boom"

The floor in the office shook, and Umbridge tilted to the side, clutching the table to support herself with a look of confusion and shock.

"What's wrong!? The master has just left! ”

She stared at her door and heard people running and screaming a few floors below.

The door was slammed open, and the school's janitor, Argus Filch, slammed it open and rushed in, bending over and shouting breathlessly, "School...... Principal Umbridge ...... There is a smoking ...... Fireworks are flying......"

"Go—" Umbridge raised his wand and rushed out of the office, not daring to imagine what would happen to Hogwarts at this point in time when he had just taken over as Headmaster after his master left, but Umbridge didn't want to imagine it.

That must have disappointed her master, Umbridge clenched her wand in her hand and rushed down the stairs, only to be shocked by the sight before her, and she and Filch stood on the stairs in a daze.

Looking at some fire dragons composed of green and golden sparks flying around in the corridor, spraying a fiery red air stream of /chu yan/li along the way, making a huge explosion sound, these fire dragons left a long string of brightly colored words after flying in the corridor, slowly solidifying in the air like clouds, and looking closely, those words were almost the same sentence

"We want Dumbledore, not 'toads'."

"This, this is really!" Umbridge forced herself to calm down as she was about to explode, she knew that she had better deal with the matter before her master returned, otherwise, she didn't know what was waiting for her, and she would never want to try it.
