Chapter 409: Hogwarts under the storm

The impact of Dumbledore's death was far-reaching.

The most obvious change is that many of the students who were supposed to return to school after the memorial service were accompanied by their parents.

The parents of these young wizards don't think that Hogwarts, which lost Dumbledore, is still the safe Hogwarts.

"I'm sorry, Professor Flitwick, but my mom doesn't approve of me coming back to class and doesn't want me to go any further."

"Professor Sprout, your herbal class is great, and I'm honored to be a part of Hufflepuff, but my family is moving to Belgium and I have to say goodbye to you."

"Professor Slughorn, I would like to ask you to tell Professor McGonagall that my child Pomona is transferring to Beauxbatons School of Magic and Wizardry, and will not be attending classes again from today."

Outside the cemetery, many parents of students have found professors they are familiar with to discuss transfer and withdrawal.

Such a dropout turmoil was unimaginable in Dumbledore's time, and Wang Xu roughly calculated that the number of dropouts was as high as thirty percent.

This means that one out of every three wizard apprentices chooses to drop out or change schools, and the remaining two are also undecided, apparently weighing whether to continue their studies.

Hogwarts...

"There are so many dropouts that we have to deal with it, and if we continue like this, Hogwarts will have to be closed."

"Most of the students who dropped out and transferred were Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, Gryffindor was less affected, and as for Stetelin, none of them dropped out."

"Yes, Skeaterin is the Dark Lord's camp, and these people can't wait for the Dark Lord to come back, I'm afraid they can't wait to celebrate."

After sending off the troublesome parents, Wang Xu and the professors returned to Hogwarts and gathered together for a meeting.

Listening to the noisy sound in his ears, Wang Xu always sat on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

After arguing for a while, everyone didn't come up with a solution, and the fundamental problem at hand was that no second Dumbledore stepped forward and walked to the front of the stage to resist Voldemort, and it was useless for everyone to say more.

"The Dark Lord is crazy, but he is not so embarrassed that the academy will be embarrassed, we teach the students quietly, close the door and live our own lives, can the Death Eaters still kill us?" Professor Bussida of the Demon Pattern class looked at the crowd and whispered, "As long as the Dark Lord is still sane, it is impossible for a group of Death Eaters to be teachers for the students. ”

Not every professor at Hogwarts is firmly on the opposite side of Voldemort, and Professor Bussida of the Demonic Pattern class is one of them.

Wang Xu looked up at Professor Bathsida, knowing the direction of the plot, he knew very well that what Bathsida said was correct.

In the movie, Voldemort took over Hogwarts after Dumbledore's death, but did not kill these professors, including Professor McGonagall, who had always opposed him, and Hagrid, Dumbledore's hardcore.

The only victim was Professor Bubbaji of the Muggle Studies class, who, although a pure-blood wizard, believed that mudblood wizards were no different from pure-blood wizards, and objected to Voldemort's identification of mudblood wizards who were not wizards but had wizarding qualifications as pests of the wizarding world, and encouraged wizards to intermarry with Muggles.

There was a certain inevitability in her death, Voldemort believed in blood, and he didn't have a good face for half-blood wizards, how could he tolerate Professor Bubbaji's gossip to confuse the public.

Whether it's for the sake of his own bloodline supremacy, or to make the wizarding world less opposed, Professor Bubaji has to die.

With the exception of the Mudbloods, Voldemort didn't want to go on a killing spree.

At the time of Armageddon, he had personally said that every drop of wizard's blood was precious, and hoped that Hogwarts, who had resisted him at that time, would surrender, and promised to forgive everyone, even if they had fought against him before.

Although it can be believed that this is Voldemort seeing victory in sight and wanting to take Hogwarts bloodlessly.

But it cannot be denied that a proud person like Voldemort usually does not let himself be untrustworthy, and his pride is not inferior to what he does.

"The Dark Lord aside, I wonder what Harry will do. The prophecy said that Harry was the only one who could defeat the Dark Lord, and that Dumbledore had sheltered him at Hogwarts before, and the Dark Lord did not dare to do anything. Now that Dumbledore is gone, I think the Dark Lord came to his senses and the first thing to clean up was Harry. Professor Flitwick spoke suddenly, interrupting everyone's train of thought.

Hearing this question, all the professors present fell into deep thought, and no one knew how to deal with it.

"Let Harry take a break from school, Hogwarts can't protect him anymore, staying in school can only harm him, maybe let him go abroad to avoid the limelight." Professor Sputlaw opened his mouth and said a countermeasure that was not a countermeasure.

There was a whisper in the crowd, and some people thought that this was a good solution, as long as Harry left Hogwarts, Voldemort would not vent his anger.

Some people also think that this is a show of weakness, Harry is a student of Hogwarts, let him take refuge abroad, doesn't it mean that the British wizarding community can no longer shelter him.

Moreover, Harry is the prophesied savior, and the solution to defeat Voldemort is likely to fall on him.

If Harry had been discovered halfway through, it wouldn't have taken long for a few elite Death Eaters to finish him, and Voldemort's last scruples would have disappeared.

"You don't have to worry about Harry, I think by this time, a member of the Order of the Phoenix has already approached him and taken him to a safe enough place. We're not going to talk about Harry, it's about where Hogwarts will go from here in the coming age of Voldemort. Professor McGonagall interrupted and reintroduced the conversation.

Hearing that there was no need to worry about Harry, Professor Flitwick shrugged his shoulders and said he had no objections.

Professor McGonagall looked around, and after seeing that everyone did not speak, she took the initiative to speak, "Professor Wang Xu, what do you think should be done?" ”

Wang Xu was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard Professor McGonagall calling him, he opened his eyes slightly and whispered: "The enemy does not move, I do not move, and I will respond to all changes with the same." ”

"Do nothing?" Slughorn scratched his head, not thinking it was a good idea.

Wang Xu nodded lightly, took a sip of the teacup on the table, and whispered, "You can think about what the Dark Lord is going to do right now." First, he was going to hold a celebration meeting, gather all the Death Eaters, and declare himself dead Dumbledore. This is essential, and Voldemort needs to use this result to establish his invincible and powerful posture.

This is a psychological offensive, everyone thinks about it, even the strongest white wizard is not the opponent of the Dark Lord, who else in the world can stop him, and it is very promising to follow the Dark Lord. Then, he would attack the Ministry of Magic while looking for Harry. The Ministry of Magic is orthodox, and the effect of capturing the Ministry of Magic is far stronger than capturing Hogwarts. Moreover, Voldemort needs to borrow from the Ministry of Magic to declare that what he is doing is right and to appease the fears of ordinary wizards.

When public opinion is in his hands, I think the Dark Lord will not come forward himself, but let the Ministry of Magic, which is under his control, send officials to Hogwarts. This official is likely to go to everyone here for tea one by one, and then ask you if you still want to do it, you can get out of the house if you don't have anything to do, and go to class if you want to do it. He then threatens that Hogwarts is not an independent kingdom and needs to be led by the Ministry of Magic.

At that time, the Ministry of Magic was already the puppet department of the Dark Lord, and everyone knew that accepting the leadership of the Ministry of Magic was accepting the leadership of the Dark Lord in disguise. However, the other party held high the banner of the Ministry of Magic, and unless Hogwarts did not need the funds of the Ministry of Magic, it could only choose to accept that there was no second way. So I think we don't need to do anything, just wait with peace of mind. ”

Everything Wang Xu said was true in the original book, and if you do it again, I think Voldemort will choose it this way.

After all, Voldemort preached the theory of blood, with the aim of purifying the wizarding world, not a madman bent on destruction.

From his point of view, he was doing what he once was, unfinished in the past.

A thousand years ago, Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts and later mysteriously disappeared, was a pure-blood who was a staunch opponent of Muggle-born wizards and came to Hogwarts to attend school.

Salazar Stetelin believed that Muggle-born wizards would degenerate the wizarding world, and on several occasions tried to purify the school of those he considered to be of inferior birth and unworthy of studying magic.

Voldemort, as the heir of Stetelin, happily inherited the legacy of his ancestors, and had the intention of carrying forward the theory of blood.

And it should be noted that Voldemort is aimed at people who are from Muggle families and give birth to wizarding blood, which is commonly known as the mudblood, and half-blood wizards are not in this case, after all, he is also half-blood, and it is impossible to oppose himself.

"The clouds obscure the sun, the wind does not move, what can we, the sheep grazing on the ground, do?" Professor Slughorn stood up and walked out without looking back, "You can continue the discussion, I won't participate in the rest of the discussion." ”

With Slughorn leaving, Bussida soon left, and then Snape withdrew.

There were only a dozen professors at Hogwarts, and there were three in a row, and there was no need to hold the meeting, and it was useless to continue in the meeting anyway.

Wang Xu also chose to leave, there was time for a meeting, it was better to go to Diagon Alley to have a look, and strive to buy a suitable shop and open his own potions shop, so that he didn't care about the black-and-white wizard dispute.

He still thinks the same way, whether it is a white wizard or a dark wizard, it is the same as the surname society or the surname capital, in the end it is still a bird.

As for the persecution of the mudblood wizard by the dark wizard, Wang Xu only listened to it as a news broadcast.

On the news network, there are disaster forecasts every day, and the small country of South Africa is at war all year round, and I haven't seen which Virgin Mary is going to be a charity ambassador.

What's more, Wang Xu is the Holy Mother of Compassion, and he is not used in the Harry Potter world, how good is the wasteland plane, there are endless poor people waiting to be rescued by the Virgin, compared to the wasteland plane where people eat people, the Death Eaters are merciful like angels in fairy tales, at least they won't cut off your JJ, and then roast it for you to eat, and they don't put cumin.
