Chapter 171: Report

Since the frequent accidents of the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, no wizard has been able to hold out in this position for more than a year, and the abdication has become a consensus among young wizards, at the beginning of each new school year, it has become almost a repertoire for the beginning of each new school year to determine the quality of the newest Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

As is customary, the topic will generally continue until the end of the first month of school, and then there will be a conclusion that everyone agrees on.

But this year's situation is different, Professor Lupin, who showed his hand on the Hogwarts Express before the start of the class, was widely praised within a week of the start of the class...

Of course, the most unpopular Slytherin House still adheres to the old style, they can't find anything wrong with Professor Lupin's Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and simply make an article about Lupin's simple dress, but they can only amuse themselves, and not many people will have any opinions about Professor Lupin because of this.

Now, among the young wizards, the most popular topic of conversation is Professor Remus Lupin and Professor Amosta Blaine, who is the most 'professional' professor in the last decade.

This is not something that can be cleared up in a sentence or two, and even within Gryffindor, there is a lot of controversy about this topic.

"I didn't say anything about the professionalism--"

Fred of the Weasley brothers, who had a rare night's time, leaned against the extinguished fireplace and said, "But apparently we appreciate it more--"

"Professor Amosta Blaine!" The twins said in unison.

Fred and George were so proud of their chemistry that they jumped to their feet, grinning and touching each other's elbows in mid-air.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who were sitting on the couch, were not surprised that they were all sitting on the wooden table and studying several subjects at the same time, they both knew why Fred and George liked Professor Bryan more, and for the two of them, Boggart was obviously not as interesting as the eight-eyed spider.

"Neville and Dean, they prefer Professor Lupin--"

Ron was cautiously feeding the sluggish Spotted his bolster, but Spotted didn't seem to like it, and writhed in Ron's hand, desperately trying to escape, so that most of the potion in the vial was scattered on his wizard's robes.

"At least they can deal with the Boggart in the closet, and Professor Blaine..."

Ron shuddered suddenly, and said with a palpitation,

"During the summer vacation, my parents took us to the pyramids to visit the mummies, and I had nightmares that night... Thinking of the Yin corpse that Professor Bryan got me, I will probably never forget this for the rest of my life! ”

Hermione, who was in a hurry, suddenly pursed her lips and laughed, she lifted her hair and looked at Ron,

"Seriously, Ron, I thought Boggart would turn into a corpse or a basilisk when you played, but it turns out that the thing you fear the most will be spiders?"

The discussion lasted about ten minutes, and finally, Harry and Hermione figured out why Ron was afraid of spiders, and in a burst of merry laughter, an unhappy Ron mistakenly poked the mouth of the bottle of the enhancer into Spotted's nose, and after a series of screams of pain, Spotted gave Ron a hard smack, which made Ron even more depressed, and he looked at Harry with a drooping face,

"It's time to tell me what you think, Harry!"

"Hmm--"

Harry hesitated and didn't speak, but it was all fake.

Hermione admired Professor Lupin, who followed the regular textbook step by step, and Ron preferred Professor Blaine... Not surprisingly, Professor Bryan saved almost half of Ron's siblings and once gave him a very beautiful commemorative coin.

Well, when facing Professor Lupin, Harry felt a strange sense of intimacy in his heart.

He didn't know what the reason for this feeling would be..., maybe Professor Lupin saved his life on the Hogwarts train, maybe it was Professor Lupin's own gentle temperament that was favorable, but even then, if he had to choose a winner between Professor Blaine and Professor Lupin, he would undoubtedly choose Professor Blaine.

The reason for this decision was not only because Professor Blaine had helped them in the secret room incident last semester, but also because he accidentally learned about Professor Blaine's background during the summer vacation, which made Harry feel that he and Professor Blaine were a little connected.

However, the reason was unspeakable, and he couldn't reveal Professor Bryan's most important privacy without permission, even to Ron and Hermione.

......

Early the next morning, all the little wizards who entered the auditorium to dine felt an indescribable depression, and soon, the little wizards reacted, and this depression was transmitted from the professor's chair at the front of the auditorium.

With the exception of Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Lupin, who were not in the professorship, almost every professor who came down for breakfast had a newspaper in their hands, and they were oblivious to the multitude of early breakfasts stacked in front of them, focusing only on the spread out of the Daily Prophet's Daily.

"Is there anything new we don't know about?"

Harry and Ron, who were late to the city, quickly sensed that something was wrong, and they quickly ran in the hallway with their heads down, and went straight to the empty seat next to Hermione.

The atmosphere in the auditorium was so eerie, everyone had a heavy expression on their faces, the young wizards were discussing in groups of threes and twos, the professors were also whispering their opinions, only the 'beloved' Potions professor was expressionless, calmly dealing with the white porridge on the table.

"The Ministry of Magic has found Blake."

Hermione said solemnly, but seeing the dumbfounded and stiff expressions of the two little wizards, she quickly added, "But he ran away again... Seamus told us yesterday that, oh, it was he who saw it in the Daily Prophet that a Muggle had seen Blake nearby--"

Hermione shook her hand for today's latest edition of the Daily Prophet,

"Today's newspaper says that according to the Muggle's tip-off call, the strikers of the Ministry of Magic have gone out to find clues, and last night, the beaters blocked him in front of the Blake's old mansion and engaged him in a fierce fight!"

Harry scrambled to snatch the newspaper Hermione handed him and read it with Ron.

... Blake was seriously wounded and fled in disarray...., and Dlux of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic was heroically wounded in a duel with Sirius Black... For now, the Aurors and the Dementors are still hunting..., so please stay calm...

"Oh!"

'The second generation of officials' Ron turned his face with disgust,

"The Daily Prophet is still the same, always vague when it comes to major issues!"

"The problem isn't here, Ron... Look at this again! ”

Hermione carefully took out another copy of the Times and slipped it from under the table to Harry, who looked a little unright.

"I'm afraid no one in the school is subscribing to Muggle newspapers but me," Hermione said, pointing to a chilling graphic on the front page,

"The Daily Prophet did not publish details of last night's arrest, but the Muggle newspapers recorded the scene, and the Muggle government advertised that there had been a gas explosion... It's not a new excuse, but you see--"

The huge searchlight brightened the dark night, and a shocking crack opened in the ground of the lonely small square where no one was abandoned, the edge of the crack showed a melting crystalline state, and faintly visible light smoke, in the alley in the distance, a large section of the road was blown off, and next to the alleyway, was a house with a roof blown off.

"It's... It's all caused by Blake?! Ron glared at the Muggle newspapers, his eyeballs bulging out in shock, "But the Daily Prophet says that none of the Muggles died!" ”

"That's what the Muggle newspapers say, too."

Hermione pointed to a line of text under the picture, and then, she looked at Harry, who was speechless, and said solemnly,

"With the power of one person against most of the Ministry's elite and causing so much damage, now, we finally know why the Ministry of Magic is so terrified of Sirius Black's prison break!"
