Chapter 259: Post-Incident Investigation
Not to mention helping Yuanzhen unravel it.
Li Huan believed that it was impossible for any wizard to pry this massive amount of magic power, and Yuan Zhen could only carry a thousand-ton cross phantom on his back in this world.
On the surveillance screen of the manor, Li Huan was finally relieved to see the Fujiang covering the retreat of Yuanzhen all over the mountains.
Although the monk just now expressed the meaning of "the green mountains do not change, and the green water always flows", he was afraid that the monk would be injured and destroy the remaining buildings of Hogwoods first, in that case, the Room of Request might really disappear.
Fortunately, the other party still talked about the rules, otherwise, he would have to do a second scene with the monk non-stop.
"Make a copy of the surveillance and cut out where my face is exposed." Li Huan said.
Bayonetta was smart: "Are you going to give Dumbledore as evidence?" ”
Li Huan nodded: "Of course, if Yuan Zhen is a stowaway, then both the wizarding world and the Muggle world should pay attention to it, this is a public enemy of mankind." ”
Of course, Dumbledore needed this monitoring very much, otherwise how would he explain the half-ruined Hogwarts.
However, when Li Huan put the surveillance screen in front of Dumbledore, the old man's face was dark: "Ninety percent of this was smashed by you!" ”
Li Huan looked innocent: "What? Lao Deng, you read it wrong, I didn't show up at all, okay? I was smashed out in the first place, and everyone at the Ministry of Magic saw it. ”
Dumbledore glared: "People are not stupid, Crouch also asked me why your wings are dragon wings." ”
"Tsk, I'm wearing armor." Li Huan grinned and said, "I can't help that situation, you can see how powerful that person is." Don't say you don't know the final magic prop, I made it myself, and it weighs more than 1,000 tons. ”
Dumbledore sighed, what else could he say, of course, he pushed all the pots on the head of Monk Yuanzhen according to Li Huan's wishes.
"Then you have to find a way to change this picture and remove the place where you smashed the building, otherwise you will still smash it more."
"Meaningless, I'm all proficient."
Li Huan picked up the videotape and ran out of the office.
Dumbledore sat down with a headache, the students should be home in two days, the Ministry of Magic is going to release the relevant investigation, and the letters from the parents will definitely block his door.
Things were even faster than he had imagined, and the wizarding reporters who smelled the smell had already arrived on broomsticks, and when they saw the ruins of Hogwarts, the exuberant "exploration" in their eyes was simply irrepressible.
"Professor, Professor McGonagall, please go to the basement." A student hurried over and said.
Dumbledore thought about it, his face changed, and he quickly used the headmaster's privilege to change his body and move to the basement.
It was occupied by the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts professors, and not a single student slipped in, and the door was blocked by the tall Headmaster Maxim.
Dumbledore arrived at the center of the crowd, where a man in black robes was lying on the ground, and Durmstrang's headmaster, Karkaroff, approached cautiously, trying to identify the man.
"Stand down, Karkaroff, this is Voldemort." Dumbledore sighed and said.
The surrounding professors and Ministry of Magic officials were all startled, and Karkaroff was even more frightened, he had been a Death Eater more than a decade ago, and he was especially afraid of the Dark Lord.
Dumbledore stepped forward and took a closer look at the situation.
Barty Crouch, who was on the side, plucked up the courage to come over and said, "He was buried under the rubble, he didn't have a wand on his body, there were a lot of stones, and we cleaned him up until the end before we found him." ”
Dumbledore unleashed a simple life-detection spell, revealing that Voldemort's body was only badly injured and breathing.
He turned around and discussed with Crouch, "What is the Ministry of Magic going to do with him?" ”
Crouch hesitated, this kind of thing should not be his turn, only the current minister, Fudge and the Magic Council can decide.
But he is also the closest high-level official to the matter.
"Maybe Azkaban." He whispered.
Dumbledore shook his head, "Azkaban can't keep him, in fact I've heard that he's connected to the Dementors. ”
Crouch was startled, his eyelids twitched, and his voice became quieter: "Neither the Council nor Fudge can admit this, in their eyes, Azkaban is absolutely tight. ”
Dumbledore certainly understood this, and if Azkaban ceased to be a deterrent, the prestige of the Ministry of Magic would be greatly damaged.
"I'll try to convince Fudge." Dumbledore said.
Although Voldemort was captured at Hogwarts, it was impossible for Hogwarts to be imprisoned and interrogated. So even if Voldemort wasn't locked up in Azkaban, he couldn't have stayed in this basement.
In order to ensure that Voldemort did not escape, Dumbledore planned to escort him personally.
No one disputed this, and everyone knew that although he was old, he had not become weaker.
When the event was agreed, Professor McGonagall came to the ground and addressed all the gathered students:
"Gentlemen, today we have experienced an unforgettable ...... together But we're always with Hogwarts...... Due to the collapse of a large number of school buildings, the only remaining buildings are unable to provide student accommodation, and we have sent owls to inform the guardians...... Please board the Hogwarts Express in an orderly manner later, and Professor Hagrid and the prefects will lead you to the station. ”
No one felt that this decision was wrong, and everyone saw how it was on the scene.
The students all went to organize their things, and some things had to rummage through the rubble, so they gave up for the time being, because the ruins were too dangerous, and if they were not careful, they would collapse twice.
Professor Flitwick caught up with Professor McGonagall on his short legs and asked suspiciously, "Professor, the school can be rebuilt quickly with a spell." ”
Professor McGonagall glanced around quickly, lowered her head, and said, "Professor Flitwick, Hogwarts doesn't need to be rebuilt quickly now, and we're not sure the danger is away. ”
Flitwick was startled, nodded repeatedly, and quietly retreated.
The next day, the Ministry of Magic, together with dozens of large and small wizarding newspapers, issued a statement, which stated:
Yesterday, the historic Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was hit by a once-in-a-century storm. The storm destroyed most of the school's buildings and a large number of off-campus facilities, including but not limited to the Quidditch pitch, the Forbidden Forest management fence, and the student playground.
Fortunately, under the management and leadership of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, none of the teachers and students were injured.
At present, all teachers and students at Hogwarts have been properly accommodated, and the rest of the situation will be explained again after further investigation.
