"What? You say you ruined Urkstag prison?! ”

In the brightly lit Hogwarts auditorium, the Charms professor at Magic School of Magic and Wizardry asked in surprise.

"Uh, don't be so loud, Professor Hicks." Sivan looked around at the little wizards who were eating around him with some humility, and said to Professor Hicks. "In fact, it can't be said to be destroyed, it is just to cut off the extremely inhumane punishment method in prison from the root!"

"Yes, the three of us killed a human-headed sphinchin!" Theseus smiled and patted the magical beast terrarium that Newt had kept at hand.

Newt was sitting at a long table with two small light orange magical creatures with two crab claws and a scorpion tail in a transparent chest beside him. The two manticores no longer looked like they had in prison, but instead looked pitiful.

"Strange, to be exact, killed the manticore." Newt silently moved Theseus' hand to the side and whispered. "The two of us only played a supporting role."

Professor Kettleburn, who had only one arm and half a leg left, stepped on his wooden prosthetic leg, walked over with a "clang" and "clang", looked curiously at the terrarium beside Newt, and asked, "Is this a calf of a human-headed sphinx manticore?" How does it feel like it! ”

"It should be the wizards of the country who experimented and transformed them, eliminated the most intelligent human head of the sphinoid manticore, and completely transformed it into a beast bred with human blood!" Newt gloomily explained to Professor Kettleburn.

"Those people in the kingdom are so hateful!" Professor Kettleburn cursed emotionally.

"Yes, I think so too." Newt nodded in agreement.

“……”

Newt and Professor Kettleburn hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had a common topic called the manticore, and they soon got together.

Theseus tried to use his indignation at the Ministry of Magic as a starting point to join the conversation between the two. However, he was completely unable to intervene in the academic conversation between the two magizoologists, so he silently turned to look at Professor Hicks.

"Hey, so you saved a candidate at the International Wizarding Federation's banquet?" Theseus asked without words.

"That's right." Professor Hicks nodded. "Grindelwald wanted to murder candidate Wisencia Santos by poisoning her cup."

"Is Grindelwald so unconfident that he will be elected president of the federation based on his strength?" Hearing her words, Xiwen frowned and asked suspiciously. "His assassination of other candidates will only cause disgust among voters, right?"

"I don't know what he thinks." Professor Hicks shook his head and said to Shevin and Theseus. "But it's likely that he's doing more than just assassinating candidates."

"How?" Theseus asked with an equally frown.

"Grindelwald deliberately sent Queenie Goldstein to deliver that poisoned drink to Santos, as if to deliberately provoke Jacob's emotions." Professor Hicks glanced at Jacob, who was chatting with the young wizards, from a distance, and whispered to Shewin and Theseus.

Jacob was so worried about Queenie that he was soon enraged by Grindelwald and pulled out his wand without a wick. Grindelwald secretly casts a spell to create the illusion that Jacob wants to attack him. As a result, Jacob was also blamed for poisoning Santos. ”

"I don't know why Dumbledore gave Jacob that wand, if he had expected it. But now the situation is that, at least most of the people present who don't know the truth, will think that the assassination of the candidate was a plan by Muggle Jacob. Professor Hicks said with a solemn face.

"Assassinating a candidate, if successful, leaves one less competitor; If you fail, you can blame a Muggle and provoke a confrontation between wizards and Muggles. Theseus shook his head and sighed. Grindelwald really used a good trick! ”

"So I'm wondering now, is everything still on track with what we call 'plans'?" Xiwen clasped his hands to his chest and thought silently.

At this moment, the corner of Xiwen's eyes suddenly jumped, and he looked at the position of the Slytherin table speechlessly.

……

Hogwarts Great Hall, Slytherin Table.

Abraxas is discussing something with the young wizards Shivin and Mobley.

"How dare they? How do you get a Muggle to come to Hogwarts? Abu's expression was extremely angry, and he yelled at Mobley and the young wizard Sven. This is a blasphemy against Hogwarts! It's an insult to the wizarding world! ”

"I think we need to teach him a lesson, Abu!" Mobley also rolled up his sleeves and said angrily.

The little wizard Xiwen quickly grabbed the hats of the two and pulled the two eager guys back.

"No, no, that Muggle was invited by Dumbledore." Xiwen said to the two. "You don't want to offend Dumbledore directly, do you?"

Abu and Mobley's expressions were obviously hesitant, but they still looked a little unwilling.

"How could Dumbledore invite a Muggle, he is a blatant betrayal of our wizard's glory!" Abu said through gritted teeth.

Mobley was also very angry, and would go to Jacob at any time to find him and put a curse on him.

"Don't be impulsive, Ravenclaw is waiting to surpass our house points!" Xiwen stared at the two of them and said solemnly. "If you maliciously cast a curse on the guests of the Gryffindor Dean, I can't guarantee what kind of punishment you will be punished!"

"Okay!" Mobley sat back in his seat and shrugged helplessly. "For Dumbledore's and Sven's sake."

At this time, Abu saw some candy and snacks on the table, and suddenly had an idea.

"Sven, we shouldn't have a problem giving that Muggle some gifts, right?" Abu asked.

"Probably, no......" Xiwen was stunned for a moment, looked at Abu, and asked inexplicably. Are you that kind? ”

Abu took a pack of cockroaches from the snacks on the table and laughed happily.

Xiwen: "...... Yours is the real thing. ”

……

Towards the end of lunch, Dumbledore arrived in the Great Hall.

"It's great to see that everyone has come to Hogwarts safe and sound, without missing arms or legs." Dumbledore greeted everyone playfully.

"Dumbledore, I wonder if our 'plan' is working." Theseus asked impatiently when he saw Dumbledore. "It's like we're back to square one again."

"Theseus, in fact our situation is worse than it was at the beginning." Dumbledore shook his head slightly, but laughed softly. "Now that Grindelwald has won the right to vote, it's fair to say that the situation is very unfavorable for us."

"So what should we do next?" Xiwen asked with a frown.

Dumbledore smiled slightly, but did not speak. He motioned for the members of Dumbledore's Army to follow him, and then walked straight to the front of the Great Hall.

"Minerva, can you help me evacuate the little wizards?" Dumbledore said to a young witch sitting in the professor's seat. "We have some important things to discuss."
