Chapter 193: Dumbledore, You'll Regret It!
The news of Rolf Scamander's return, like a storm, quickly swept through the whole of Hogwarts.
But many students think it's fake news.
The reason is very simple, in the first few weeks of Rove's disappearance, similar news came out every day, and there were too many times of "wolf coming" that everyone didn't believe it for a long time.
Marcus Flint of Slytherin House swears:
"Scamander must be dead! Can Rita Skeeter's report be fake?!
I'll leave it here, and if he does come back, I'll go to the bathroom and eat two big bowls! ”
However, Flint soon regretted it, because at dinner time, the familiar figure, surrounded by a group of Hufflepuff students, walked into the auditorium.
Many of the students were stunned for a moment, and after confirming that it was Rove, they immediately erupted in deafening cheers and applause, almost knocking the enchanted ceiling over.
Rove was also shocked by the warm welcome, he didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic about his return, and after being stunned, he waved his hand to greet everyone.
At the Slytherin table, Flint's face was ugly.
Malfoy yelled at him and said, "Marcus, you can eat me tonight...... I've had diarrhea lately, and I'm just getting you some thin ......"
Accompanied by the cheers of the students, Malfoy couldn't help but applaud.
He has mixed feelings for Rove, this guy has bullied and blackmailed himself a lot, but Rove has been missing for two months, and he always feels that something is missing.
It would feel like seeing Harry and not making a fuss, and Malfoy would be wrong all over his body.
Now that he saw Rove again, Malfoy suddenly felt comfortable.
At the faculty table, Snape, who had been healed of his back injury by Madam Pomfrey, looked gloomily at Rove, who had been treated like a hero.
Dumbledore pushed a plate of Bull Treasure and Ox Chong to Snape's side, and said with a smile:
"Severus, this is a dish I asked the kitchen to prepare for you, it is good for treating back injuries, please try it......"
Snape looked at the dish, his eyelids jumped, and he thanked him:
"Eat it, Professor Dumbledore, you're older...... Need to make up more. ”
The two of them just had a plate of dishes, pushed each other up, and refused to eat them.
Snape suddenly remembered something, his expression moved, and he said:
"Headmaster, I've heard about Black...... Is he ready to resign? ”
"That's the thing." Dumbledore nodded, "I persuaded Sirius, but he was adamant. ”
"This summer, we're hiring new professors to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Gosh, the teacher in this class is depleting so fast, isn't it? ”
Snape's eyes twinkled, "Maybe let me give it a try, I'll report to you every year." ”
"You?" Dumbledore looked at Snape through his half-moon glasses and said:
"Honestly, Severus, I thought about you...... Come, let's try this cow treasure first, right?
Let's talk while you eat! ”
Snape's face was long, but he still swallowed a few cow eggs in order to become a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
He swallowed hard, and said in a hoarse voice, "Professor Dumbledore, what about this Defense Against the Dark Arts position......"
"I've got a pick, Severus." Dumbledore smiled, "You better continue to teach Potions, this position is inseparable from you." ”
“……”
Snape glared at the old man and roared angrily, "Dumbledore, you'll regret it!" ”
At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and Filch ran into the auditorium with a sigh of grunt, and he shrieked:
"Professor Dumbledore, Minister Fudge is here."
"Well, let him in." Dumbledore stood up, left the table, and walked out to greet him.
Soon Fudge walked into the Great Hall, wearing a long purple cloak and a dark green top hat under his arm, followed by a large group of wizards.
I don't know if I thought he was here to arrest the criminal.
Fudge walked over to Dumbledore and stretched out his hand:
"Good evening, Albus, excuse me from your meal, I heard that Rove has returned, so I came to ascertain the situation myself...... Is the news true? ”
The students were in an uproar in an instant, they didn't expect Rove's return to even alarm the Minister of Magic.
At the Gryffindor table, Seamus said with incredulity: "I heard that the Minister of Magic is very busy, and he still came to Hogwarts in person for this little thing?" ”
"A trifle?" Ron was speechless and said, "How can it be a trivial matter, do you know that the ministry has been busy and crazy for Rove's affairs recently?" ”
"Especially after Rita Skeeter's report came out, all kinds of letters were sent to the Ministry of Magic every day, asking them to investigate the truth, and scolding the minister for being incompetent."
Seeing many students looking at him, Ron blushed and hurriedly explained:
"Oh, that's what my dad said, he works for the Ministry of Magic, and he's in contact with the top people in the Ministry...... He said that Rove was now more famous than Secretary Fudge. ”
When Fudge saw Rove, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's really good that you're safe, kid."
If you don't come back, I'm going to have the Aurors to find you. ”
"Thank you, Minister Fudge, for your concern." Rove said politely.
Fudge didn't want to be so aggressive, but it was a sensitive time lately, and Rove couldn't do anything.
Fudge lowered his voice again and asked, "How is it, Peter and the time turner......"
That day in Hogsmeade, he saw the "resurrected" Peter, and Dumbledore said he had stolen the time-turner.
Fudge was worried for a long time, worried that he would go back twelve years and save the Dark Lord from the hands of the boy who had never died.
"Peter is certain dead, and the time-turner was detonated by him."
"Explode, explode, as long as Peter is dead."
Fudge doesn't care about the destruction of the time-turner, but is afraid that Peter will appear in public again.
He put his arm around Rove fervently, pulled the boy in front of him, and announced:
"Rove is back, and the rumors are self-defeating...... Once again, I remind certain unscrupulous journalists that newspapers are not a place outside the law! ”
The auditorium burst into brilliant flashing lights.
Fudge even brought reporters from various newspapers, ready to inform the entire wizarding world of the good news as soon as possible.
"Rov, the two of us will be on the front page of the Daily Prophet together tomorrow, and everyone will be glad to hear that you are back.
Rita Skeeter, that woman is going to spread rumors, and I'm going to get her in trouble......"
A good dinner turned into a small press conference, and a group of reporters frantically asked all kinds of questions.
After answering a few random questions, Rove slipped away from the crowd under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
He walked into the men's bathroom, and only then did he pull his pants open and prepare to drain the water, when suddenly he heard a woman's faint sigh behind him.
Rove shuddered with fright, almost didn't hold down the gun, and shot the bullet out, he quickly turned to look, and found ......
Helena, dressed in a pleated dress decorated with intricate lace, stood behind him, stared straight at him, and whispered:
"Rove......"
Its voice is like a ghost, like a pharyngeal ......
