Because the mana node was affected by the destruction, the young wizards soon discovered something different.

The next morning, when we ate in the Great Hall, a knock on the plate did not cause food to come out of the plate as usual, but a conscientious house-elf pushed a few small carts around the long table, and walked on short legs, neatly delivering the food to the little wizard in need.

This is due to the fact that the food was transported from the kitchen to the auditorium, relying on the magic transmission channel of the castle itself. However, after the Hufflepuff mana node left behind in the kitchen door was destroyed, the passage lost its source of mana and could no longer be used.

It was not only the dining habits of the wizards in the castle that were affected, but also other aspects.

For example, a small number of movable staircases in the main tower are completely stationary. Many classrooms are accessed through these stairs, and young wizards often have to chant a spell to pull them in front of them before they can walk up to them, and wait until they step on the stairs to push them to their destination.

It's okay that this part is completely stationary, at least it can be pulled artificially. However, there are still some who seem to be stuck in some kind of poor contact with the magic connection, and are constantly moving in place. Even if it is pulled in front of it by the little wizards using a spell, it may twitch coldly, bringing enough stimulation to the little wizards who step on it.

There was already an unlucky little wizard who was thrown down the staircase because of this, but luckily a prefect found him in time and caught him with a spell, so he didn't appear to be injured.

Faced with this, the professors cast spells to hold the disobedient movable stairs in place, and improvised some new staircases with Transfiguration and Permanent Sticking Charm to allow students to reach the classrooms.

Of course, many of the young wizards were late for their first Transfiguration class on Monday. However, Dumbledore, who had just been busy building the temporary staircase, arrived later than them, so naturally there was no such thing as punishment.

At the end of the day, the young wizards were all bitter, and they deeply realized how inconvenient it was to live in a castle without the supply of magic power!

The professors are even more tired enough to attend classes, while also helping to manage the order and keep the young wizards in the castle safe, and finding time to find the murderer who sabotaged the magic node......

"I didn't cherish the castle when it was in normal operation, and I didn't feel the convenience of the past until I lost it." Walking down the temporary staircase to the vice-principal's office on the third floor, Abraxas complained to Xiwen.

Xiwen glanced at the movable stairs next to him that were still in mid-air, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Indeed, when these movable stairs were still there, they were still troublesome. Now it seems that these stairs have saved us so much energy! ”

Abu nodded, and then, as if remembering something, asked in an uncertain tone, "By the way, does your method really work?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely catch that culprit today!" Xiwen said.

His expression grew cold.

……

At this time, in the vice principal's office, one after another extraordinary figures came out of the fireplace.

Meles's expression was not very good, but she still managed to squeeze out a little smile and said to them, "I wonder if there is something important about the sudden visit of the school board members today?" ”

"Vice Headmaster Meles, I don't think the destruction of the magic nodes in Hogwarts Castle is a trivial matter, right?" A man with long platinum hair in a platinum shawl, a pale complexion, and a sumptuous black cloak trimmed with gold trim said to Professor Meleth.

"We'll take care of this, Mr. Malfoy." Professor Meleth said with a frown.

"We beg to differ." A woman with long silky black hair and a delicate face raised her voice and retorted. "Professor Meleth, if you really have the ability to handle this matter, you won't let the Mana Node be destroyed a second time!"

Professor Melles' face darkened, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"Bang bang bang-"

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the vice principal's office.

"Please come in!" Professor Meleth immediately waved his wand open the office door, hoping that some young wizard would come over and ask some random questions, so that he could take the opportunity to change the subject.

But when she saw the two little wizards standing outside the door, her heart, which had been a little hopeful, became even heavier.

"Rozier, Malfoy, what are you doing here?" She asked, hoping for what to do.

"Our father and mother, of course, Professor." Shewin smiled lightly and waved to Sandrine, who was leaning lazily against the fireplace.

Sandrine's cold expression melted, and she smiled at the face she hadn't seen for two months.

Professor Meles suddenly realized that the sudden visit of the school council was most likely caused by this smiling freshman.

Seeing his son, Mr. Malfoy, who had long platinum blonde hair, also beckoned to Abu and said, "Abu, come here." ”

Abu was visibly in awe of his father, and his former pride was completely put away, and he obediently walked to Mr. Malfoy's side.

Shiwen also walked up to Sandrine and gave her a cordial hug.

"I haven't seen him for two months, and my son has become a little adult." Sandrine said with a smile.

'Actually, I'm an ......adult,' thought to him, and he seriously suspected that it was Sandrine's pampering that caused him to change his mind slightly, sometimes like going back to his teenage years.

"Mom, I think we should go to the headmaster and solve the castle problem first." Xiwen silently changed the subject.

"Makes sense." Sandrine nodded, and turned to look at Professor Meleth.

"Professor Meleth, take us to the Headmaster." Facing others, her expression became cold again.

……

Thankfully, the spiral staircase leading to the Headmaster's office on the fourth floor was not paralyzed, allowing the Governors who had come to Hogwarts to climb the stairs to the eighth floor without having to climb the stairs with grace and grace.

At this time, Principal Dippert was in his office, anxiously dealing with the letters on his desk.

As the doorbell rang, he looked up, and then saw a group of unscrupulous school directors enter the principal's office in a menacing manner.

Seeing this scene, Principal Dipet's face immediately changed.

"Armando, they're here to investigate the destruction of the Mana Node." Professor Meles said to Rector Duppert with some reluctance.

Headmaster Duppet frowned and looked at the school trustees, and said in a deep voice, "Don't bother you with this matter, the professors at Hogwarts will take care of it." ”

"It's up to you, Mr. Headmaster." In the crowd, Xiwen spoke abruptly.

Hearing Xiwen's voice, Principal Dippert looked at the freshman, who was only less than twelve years old, with some disbelief, and asked hesitantly, "So, did you facilitate the visit of the school board, Mr. Rozier?" ”

Hearing his words, Xiwen smiled.

"Congratulations, you guessed it!"
