In the classroom of the Dueling Club, Clark finished speaking.

The lazy expressions on the faces of the young wizards present had completely disappeared, and they began to cheer up and prepare to listen to Clarke's lecture attentively.

However, at this moment, the door of the classroom was vigorously pushed open with a "bang".

The wooden door slammed against the wall, and Ron ran in in a panic.

"Clark, no! Hermione...... Hermione ......"

"What happened to Hermione?" Clark hurried over to Ron and reached out to support him.

"Hermione has been attacked!"

The whole classroom was a mess in an instant.

……

On the walkway leading to the school hospital, the sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near.

Clarke, led by Ron, trotted all the way to the hospital room, Neville following closely behind.

They pushed the door open, and as soon as they entered, they saw that Madam Pomfrey was leaning over to check on a girl with long curly brown hair, who was none other than Hermione Granger.

"Hermione!"

Clark exclaimed, even though he had already heard the news from Ron, he still couldn't control his words when he saw such a scene at this moment.

Hermione lay there motionless, her large, spiritual eyes now left nothing but a dull and a hint of fear.

"She was found near the library."

Professor McGonagall, who was standing next to Hermione, said to them, "I don't think anyone of you can explain this, right?" It was found from the floor beside her......"

Professor McGonagall held up a small, round mirror.

"Hermione doesn't usually wear makeup, and this mirror should be with her to keep an eye on the corner." Clark said with his grief, his eyes still staring at Hermione.

"This damn murderer, I'm going to catch him!"

Professor McGonagall's heart was heavy, "That's enough, Clark, it's our job......"

Before she could finish speaking, she looked at Hermione, who was lying there motionless, and sighed again.

"Forget it, I'd better escort you back to Gryffindor Tower, anyway, I'm going to speak to the students anyway."

With that, she pulled Clark away, who was in her grief.

"All students have to go back to their college's common room by six o'clock in the evening."

In the Gryffindor common room, a large group of students huddled together, silently listening to Professor McGonagall's speech.

"No student is allowed to leave the dormitory after this time.

You need to be escorted by a teacher for each class.

No student is allowed to use the bathroom without a teacher.

All Quidditch training and matches have been postponed.

No more activities can be carried out in the evenings. ”

Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment document she had just read and said in a somewhat choked voice.

"Actually, I don't need to say, you should have guessed that if this continues, then the school will most likely be closed unless the culprits who planned these attacks are caught.

So I urge everyone who thinks they know something to come forward. ”

She crawled somewhat awkwardly through the mouth of the portrait hole, and the Gryffindor students immediately began to chatter.

"There's already a Gryffindor student down, it's terrifying, that monster would attack a wizard!"

"I don't want to be in such a dangerous place anymore, I want to go home."

Lee Jordan, a friend of the Weasley twins, raised his arms and shouted, "The Slytherin chambers, the heirs of Slytherin, the monsters of Slytherin—why don't they just get all the Slytherins out?" ”

The audience nodded frequently and burst into applause.

Percy Weasley sat in a chair next to Lee Jordan, and for the first time in his life, he seemed not in a hurry to express his opinion.

His face looked serious.

"Ginny, you will come with me in the future, and you are not allowed to act independently."

Ignoring Ginny, who was pouting, he looked at George and Fred again, "You two...... Forget it, you two are smart enough to be fine. ”

Finally, he looked at Ron and Clark, "Clark, Ron will take care of you." ”

At this moment, he really has a bit of an older brother.

After arranging his younger siblings, he put Clark aside.

"Clark, what should I do with the school magazine, there is already a child who has an accident, and we are afraid that we can't suppress this matter."

Clark didn't hesitate, his eyes were red, as if he had just finished shedding tears.

"Hermione was attacked, what else am I doing for the school? Hurry up and prepare to work overtime to add a special issue to report on the affairs of the secret room. ”

"But Headmaster Dumbledore?" Percy had a worried look on her face.

"So it's up to you to send this thing!"

Of course, Clark won't poke this matter out himself, and he will have to pit a wave of school trustees next, and if he writes this report himself, it is hard to guarantee that he will not make those people think too much.

"Huh?" Percy's eyes widened when he heard Clarke's words, and he thought that this cousin was trying to harm him.

However, Clark saw his thoughts at a glance, and directly persuaded: "You're about to graduate and leave school, and you're going to go to the Ministry of Magic next, right, Percy." ”

Percy nodded.

"In this case, a reputation is more useful than any resume, isn't it? This was an opportunity, the first to cover the events of the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets.

If I'm not mistaken, tomorrow, Headmaster Dumbledore will come to me and try to put this matter down.

And you will become a hero who defies power and reveals the truth. ”

The expression on Percy's face relaxed, "But this thing is right ......"

"You have to understand politics, the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, was supported by Headmaster Dumbledore, but it is precisely because of this that he is very repulsed and jealous of Headmaster Dumbledore.

After all, there have always been rumors that Headmaster Dumbledore is the most suitable candidate for the Minister of Magic, and Cornelius Fudge can be supported by Dumbledore.

And a Hogwarts student who has just graduated and is not standing with Dumbledore is naturally more likely to come into his sight, isn't it? ”

This sentence convinced Percy completely, and he nodded, and said nothing, except to rush out a manuscript overnight.

The next day, the manuscript was published in a new issue of the Hogwarts School Magazine, and it spread to every household in the wizarding world along with the owl.

The Slytherin Chamber of Secrets and the monster's attack on the students were known to all wizards in an instant.

Early in the morning, when Clark and Neville arrived at the auditorium, the letters from the parents of the students were thrown like snowflakes onto the teacher's seat by the owl.

Harry watched the situation with a sad expression, and it dawned on him that if the culprit wasn't caught soon, he would have to go back to the Dursley house for the rest of his life.

Ron, on the side, was complaining loudly to Percy, "How can you do this, just because of your article, Professor Dumbledore will be kicked out of the school!" ”

On the cover of the Hogwarts School Magazine, which he was waving, was printed with the big headline "Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets? Hogwarts Crisis! 》

Percy was eating seafood porridge when he heard him say this and put the spoon into the bowl with a thud.

"Why can't I do it? Aren't all of what I'm saying true? ”

He also happened to have a copy of the Hogwarts Magazine at hand, and Percy flipped to the side where his article was printed and read it without hesitation.

"The Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets incident, in the final analysis, was a safety incident caused by the school's mismanagement, which did not attract high attention when danger arose.

In the event of an incident in the secret room, the school should conduct a comprehensive investigation of Hogwarts to find out the potential safety hazards on the campus, and at the same time take the initiative to report to the Ministry of Magic and bring in the help of external forces.

If necessary, for the sake of students' safety, we may even take conservative measures such as suspending classes and closing schools, and reopen schools after the problem has been resolved.

Rather than putting students in danger and worrying all day long, something happens that no one wants to see.

By sending their children to Hogwarts, the family has a lot of trust in the school, and the school should keep the children safe.

Although there has been no serious safety incident, the school still needs to bear responsibility for its failure to do so and blindly cover up the facts.

And again, the author also urges the school to deal with it properly immediately, solve the safety accident as soon as possible, and give students a safe campus life. ”

When he finished reading his newspaper, the little wizards around him frowned, but no one stood up to accuse him.

On the one hand, what Percy wrote is indeed true, and the solution is very appropriate, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Second, the little wizards thought about their own safety, and vaguely agreed with Percy's statement, but they were too embarrassed to say it.

Ron was speechless by Percy's rebuttal, and finally could only muttered stubbornly: "That can't be at this time, you are falling into the well, betraying ......"

Percy ignored him, and George and Fred, who also worked at the school magazine, also played a round.

"We all agreed with this article, after all, it is a news media, and we also have to consider credibility.

Things have already made such a big fuss, if we don't do anything and don't report it at all, will the students still believe us in the future? ”

Clark also said at this time: "Yes, Percy's manuscript was first shown to me, and I agreed. ”

Ron could only sit down reluctantly, and Clarke leaned into Harry's ear and asked softly, "Do you think they will suspect Hagrid?" He has a criminal record. ”

Harry immediately took his attention.

"I can't care so much, let's go to him at night, although I don't believe that he did this incident, but since the matter of the secret room last time was related to him, then he must know some news, this may be a breakthrough point."

"But Professor McGonagall said that we had to stay in the tower, unless we went to the classroom, let alone at night, which was too dangerous." Ron was a little worried.

"I think." As a reckless Gryffindor, Harry didn't care much about the rules, but with other classmates around, his voice was softer.

"It's time to get my dad's old cloak out again."

Clark nodded as well.

However, after breakfast, he had to part with Harry and the others, and Professor McGonagall brought a message that Headmaster Dumbledore wanted to see him.

When Percy heard the news, he looked at Clark worriedly, but Clark gave him a reassuring look.

It was still the Headmaster's office, and when Clark pushed open the wooden door and walked in, Headmaster Dumbledore was not the only one in the room.

Elijah, the representative of the Hogwarts Board of Trustees? Yaxley, Theodore? Abbot, and Darren? Bock, all three sat in the principal's office.

Which of them except Elijah? While Jaxley still maintained his calm and gentlemanly demeanor, the other two were already restless.

As soon as they saw Clark walking in, they immediately stood up.

"We, the Bock family, are ready to launch a dragon farm project." Darren? This was the first thing Bock said, and Clark could hear a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.

Obviously, there were twists and turns in the project of the dragon farm, which made him secretly happy.

And Theodore, who got up with him? Abbot said the same thing, and not only that, but he also brought the input of several school trustees, all of whom wanted to get out of the project.

"We have all read the news in the newspaper, now is a sensitive time, if the matter is not resolved, even if the dragon farm is built, it will have no effect."

Theodore? Aibo's words can be said to be the concern of all school managers, they are investing real money, but they do not want to reap the end of the project.

Headmaster Dumbledore sat on the sidelines, playing with his fingers as if what was in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Faced with this situation, Clark was not in a hurry, he pulled a chair, sat down with a big thorn, and the whole person seemed to be sitting on a throne, looking down on his subjects.

Theodore? Abbot and Darren? Under his gaze with the [Shock] ability, Bock avoided his eyes weakly, only Elijah? Yaxley, still like an old-school gentleman, looked at him with a smile on his face.

It was only then that Clark slowly spat out a word.

"Contracts are magical."

Yes, this is the wizarding world, and the contract he signed with the twelve school management families was not only protected by the laws of the Ministry of Magic, but also protected by magic based on the magic of the twelve.

It is a magical contract ritual similar to the Loyalty Spell, and anyone who wants to break the contract will be subjected to the backlash of magic, causing their own magic to riot, depriving them of their status as a wizard and becoming a squib.

Theodore? Abbot and Darren? Bock's face was blue and white, blaming their family for their desire for profit at the beginning, and besides, it was at Hogwarts, who would have thought that such an unexpected situation would occur today.
