"Oh Merlin!"

"Big news!"

"That's a ......"

"Needless to say, it's big news!"

"Merlin's beard!"

On Monday mornings, the breakfast-time auditorium comes alive as a flock of letter-delivering owls fly over the long table, leaving behind countless letters and feathers.

All the students who got the Daily Prophet watched in shock at the headlines on the front page of the newspaper.

For a while, the voices of exclamation came and went.

"Look!"

At the Ravenclaw table, Eddie spreads the newspaper on the table.

"Oh my God, Edinburg is occupied!"

Scott quickly stood up and leaned over to take a look.

Lady Slytherin returns to conquer Edinburg! 》

He hurriedly glanced at the contents of the report, and then said to Luna, who was sitting across the long table, "Maybe the Thestrals at Hogwarts have been found." ”

"Oh, I'm afraid so."

Luna leaned on the table and read the newspaper.

"Here ......"

She began to read the report, "On the evening of November 7, Ms. Slytherin descended from the sky in an autonomous flying carriage, surrounded by a group of green-robed masked men. ”

"It was last night! Unbelievable! Eddie said, "Edinburgh is Muggle territory,"

Roger frowned and said, "It looks like a lot of Muggles witnessed magic last night." ”

Luna continued, "But a wizard who lives near Edinburgh claims that the ornate carriage was actually pulled by four Thestrals, and that her green-robed guards also rode Thestrals......"

"Oh!" She looked up at Scott, "Maybe it's Uu and his people, she's enslaved them!" ”

"If that's really the Thestrals of Hogwarts, aren't they a little too brazen?" Roger said with a frown.

At this point, Eddie exclaimed, "They used a spell to drive out the Muggles in Edinburg?" They didn't kill anyone...... Oh maybe I shouldn't have said that, but the Wizard Secrecy Law is broken! ”

"Why did that lady capture Edinburg?" Roger asked, puzzled, "I mean...... That's a Muggle castle, there's no magic there! ”

Scott smiled, "Who knows, maybe it's just that the Muggles didn't discover the hidden magic in the castle." ”

"Edinburgh was founded in the 6th century, hundreds of years before Hogwarts was founded!" Milton was surprised.

He looked down at the newspaper, "Muggles think it's the oldest castle in Europe...... Oh, there's magic! ”

"I'll see!"

Eddie hurriedly lowered his head to look at what was next.

"After the incident, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic rushed to Edinburgh as soon as possible, but the castle was already shrouded in the magic of the sudden awakening, and no one was allowed to enter?"

He looked up at Scott with a somewhat silly expression.

"You're right, Scott."

"Well......" Scott was also a little speechless.

Milton pointed to the bottom of the newspaper, "There's also a story about Edinburgh. ”

"In the 6th century, Scotland was still in the midst of a strife among the nations, and a northern country called Northumbria occupied the land where Edinburgh was located."

Milton reads the article.

"The king built a fort on an extinct volcano with cliffs on three sides and a steep slope on one side, and the fort was called 'Edinburgh' after the king."

"I know all of that."

Eddie hurriedly leaned over to take a few looks.

"But what I don't know is ......," he said, surprised, "that the author of this article speculates that Edin Castle, although it has been renovated and expanded many times throughout its history, may have been built with the involvement of wizards who were in the service of the king at the time." ”

"Merlin, shouldn't we be worried about the broken wizarding secrecy now?" Kayla, who had been sitting on the sidelines listening to their discussion, suddenly spoke up.

"That's right!" Her boyfriend, Dylan, nodded approvingly.

"Oh, don't worry." Scott turned to them and said, "The Ministry of Magic has the situation under control. ”

"That's right." Eddie interjected, "In addition to the Aurors, the Department of Magical Accident Disasters has also been fully deployed, and the Reversal of Contingency Team, the Memory Eradication Command, and the Muggle Mediation Committee, who have been busy all night. ”

Scott nodded, "Anyway, they erased the memories of Muggle witnesses, cast Muggle dispelling charms around the castle, and the Muggle government would temporarily refuse to visit the castle on the grounds that it needed to be repaired." ”

At this moment, Headmaster Dumbledore and the professors hurried into the auditorium.

With their arrival, the originally noisy auditorium gradually quieted down, and the students subconsciously lowered the voice of discussion.

The Chancellor and Professors took their seats one after another, and Scott sat down again.

"No one knows what that ambitious lady Slytherin wants to do." Milton said worriedly.

Eddie asked in a low voice, "Do you think she's going to drain the magic out of the castle like she did last time she attacked the Sir Merlin Order, or will she take possession of it entirely?" ”

Bite! Ding!

In the faculty seat, Professor McGonagall tapped the cup with her wand.

"Please be quiet." She said sternly.

"Good morning."

When the Great Hall was completely silent, Dumbledore stood up and began to speak.

"I think everyone already knows about today's big news, so I'll just say one thing......"

His gaze wandered around the auditorium for a week.

"For the safety of our students, your Hogsmeade Village weekend has been canceled starting this week."

As soon as his words fell, there was an instant uproar in the auditorium.

Many bold students began to protest, such as the Weasley twins of Gryffindor.

Scott even heard Fred say aloud, "Isn't it fashionable to give prisoners some time to let off steam?" ”

"Shut up!" Percy had to stand up and stop them, "If you guys make any more tricks......"

Scott could also see Percy flushed with anger when he looked at it from afar.

Dumbledore was not angry, he smiled and said, "Yes, you must stay in the castle until the Christmas holidays. ”

At this point, he glanced at the Weasley twins, "Of course, I will tell Mr. Filch to guard the secret passage in the castle." ”

"Oh shit." Eddie whispered to Scott, "Our daigou business! ”

Scott glanced at him and said casually, "Then cancel it for now." ”

Eddie scratched at his hair in frustration.

Scott didn't tell him that the Weasley twins still had secret passages that Filch didn't know about.

After breakfast, Luna said to Scott, "Hagrid didn't come just now, we should go and see him." ”

"Then noon." Scott said.

By the end of the morning's lesson, Scott and Luna had a hasty lunch before heading to Hagrid's cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"Oh, it's you."

Hagrid's eyes were red when he opened the door.

"Come on in, Harry, they're there."

Scott glanced inside the room, where Harry was sitting at a large round table with Ron and Hermione.

After greeting each other, Scott and Luna also sat down at the round table.

"Are you alright, Hagrid?" Luna turned to look at Hagrid, "We read today's newspaper in the morning and suspect that the Thestrals in Edinburgh are Uwu. ”

"It's them!"

Hagrid said even more, and he walked over to the round table and sat down decadently, crushing the stool under his buttocks.

He sobbed loudly, and pulled his dirty handkerchief the size of a tablecloth from his bosom to wipe his tears.

"I went to see it...... Morning...... Going to Edinburgh, although I couldn't get close to the castle, I saw them from afar above the castle, oh, I was riding Sirius's flying motorcycle......"

He shouted angrily, and the words that came out were a little inverted.

"Oh, I see they're right there...... U-U, and its companions......"

At this time, Harry and the three of them all showed blank expressions, it seemed that they did not know about the disappearance of the Thestrals.

Hagrid continued to cry, "Uu is my favorite...... The first horse born in the Forbidden Forest, he later became the leader of the tribe...... I started with one stallion and five mares...... Oh! I couldn't save them. Those damn thieves ......"

"What's going on, Hagrid?" Hermione couldn't help but ask, "Did you raise those Thestrals in the newspaper?" ”

She pointed to a letter on the round table, "I thought the mere fact that you were about to face a lawsuit was bad enough!" ”

"Oh! I don't have time to take care of any lawsuits right now, Lucius? Malfoy wanted to sue me, so he could do it. Hagrid said with some excitement, "I'm just worried about the ...... of them right now."

Hermione looked at him disapprovingly, "No, Hagrid, you've got to prepare a defense for yourself!" You have to prove that Malfoy himself is primarily to blame for that teaching accident! ”

"Does this need to be proven?" Ron said disapprerovingly, "Everyone knows that Malfoy is injured because he himself was disobedient in class!" ”

Harry nodded his head, "Everyone knows it's Malfoy's responsibility!" ”

Hermione glanced at them with her chin held high, "I can't believe it, why would you say such stupid things?" Yes, we know, but that doesn't mean the Department of Education and the Wizengamot know too! ”

"Hermione, I don't have time to pay attention to the damn Malfoy!" Hagrid exclaimed, "Do you know what they do to the U-U, they've lost their freedom completely! ”

Speaking of this, he cried again and covered his face with a dirty handkerchief, "Those bastards...... They were even saddled, haltered and reined......"

At this time, Harry suddenly asked, "So, what is Thestrals?" ”

Scott noticed that the expressions on his and Ron's faces were even more dazed.

Hermione immediately turned her head to glare at them.

Seeing that she took a deep breath and was about to start preaching, Scott hurriedly said, "Wait, this is a bit of a mess!" ”

He raised his hand to stop Hermione from blurting out the words.

"We need to make clear what we know first." He glanced at Luna again, "Hermione will talk about the lawsuit first, and then Luna will talk about Thestrals." ”

Hermione nodded, and began to talk about the notification letter from the Wizengamot on the table.
