Chapter 152: Isolation
The students who were watching the statue in front of the principal's office were quickly driven back to the auditorium by Mr. Prilinger.
And in the auditorium, Mr. Pringer also conveyed President Rozier's order that all the students should assemble in the auditorium.
So Matthew didn't "wait" long, and saw a large group of senior students from various colleges, who came one after another...... The auditorium was suddenly filled with people, and each of them had confusion written on their faces.
All the students in the school are here.
"Rector Rozier and the Professors, as well as the Aurors, need to conduct a thorough search of the entire castle," Mr. Pringer told them, "and for everyone's safety, no one is allowed to leave the Great Hall until the search is over...... Prefects, please guard the entrance to the Great Hall, and send a ghost to deliver the message if something special happens. ”
"Wangwang!" and Mr. Tang barked loudly as if he was agreeing.
With that, Mr. Pringer hurried out of the auditorium with Mr. Tang, and it seemed that he had joined the search.
With Mr. Pringer's departure, the entire auditorium exploded in an instant.
Noisy sounds, one after another.
The presidents of the male and female student councils and several prefects tried their best to maintain order, but such efforts seemed futile.
......
Everyone was very eager to discuss it.
Someone infiltrated Hogwarts and attempted to break into the Headmaster's office, causing damage to the statue at the door of the Headmaster's office...... This is a big deal at any given time.
Everyone chattered and chattered non-stop.
The students, who had been to the door of the principal's office earlier, began to tell others what had happened.
"That must be very powerful extreme magic!" someone described, "The statue of the Hippogriff in front of Principal Grindelwald's office is said to be hundreds of years old, and several Headmasters have cast magic on it to protect the Headmaster's Office...... As you can see, the statue was made that way......"
"It must have been done by a very powerful dark wizard!" someone speculated.
"It must be the three fugitives from Azkaban, have you forgotten, they have been at large for months...... "and there will be no worse wizard in all England." ”
In the auditorium, everyone was very eager to discuss these things-
At the same time, a faint mood of panic began to spread.
Azkaban's notoriety has been heard of by every young wizard (Muggle-born or pure-blood...... And the three criminals who escaped from Azkaban have become a topic of conversation since the successful escape from prison several months ago.
But when discussing and discussing, when you really realize that those criminals who "do all kinds of evil" appear around you, anyone will be a little frightened. In this case, everyone has to start worrying about their own safety.
......
At the long Slytherin table, the second-year students were also discussing.
But they almost agreed that the person (or man) who tried to break into the headmaster's office must have something to do with the fugitives from Azkaban.
After all, from the Aurors to the Dementors, Hogwarts has been so tightly guarded for more than a month that anyone with a little brain will guess something.
And a normal wizard probably wouldn't do anything like breaking into Hogwarts and trying to break into the Headmaster's office.
After all, Hogwarts is the tightest and safest place in the world.
"Do you think those fugitives are still at Hogwarts?" asked Theodore Knott, a little scared.
"At least Professor Rozier thinks they're still ......," Draco Malfoy said.
Around them, several first-year students were asking each other the same question: "How did they break into Hogwarts?"
"Maybe it flew in with a broomstick. Malfoy guessed.
"Maybe it's through the illusion, or the Floo ......," Knott said.
"Maybe you disguised yourself and sneaked in......" Crabbe said, holding his chubby chin in his hand.
Obviously, they are all wrong.
Hogwarts is strong enough for its own protection alone.
The castle has all kinds of magic, except for the headmaster, apparition and apparition manifestation are absolutely forbidden here, and the Floo net or portkey will also be extremely restricted.
And at the entrance to the castle, as well as in the surrounding sky, there are always Dementors loyal to the Ministry of Magic patrolling and guarding them...... It's completely impossible to get in through the ordinary way.
......
However, according to Horace Slughorn, the three fugitives from Azkaban are James Potter, Ciris Black, and Peter Pedirul......
So the way they infiltrated the campus is not difficult for Matthew to guess.
All three of them were very familiar with the secret passages of Hogwarts, and they were all Animagus themselves...... By turning yourself into an animal through the magic of Agmagus, you can simplify your consciousness and deceive the Dementors...... After all, Dementors can only affect wizarding or Muggle consciousness.
But...... After all, this passage was said by Slughorn, and Matthew can't believe it all now.
Matthew now only hopes that what Slughorn said at the time was true......
Because if all that comes into Hogwarts is the Pointed Fork, the Big Foot and the Wormtail, there's no need to worry about anything.
The people of the Order of the Phoenix, their target must be Gellert Grindelwald, and the struggle between them will not affect ordinary Hogwarts students.
......
Every hour, a teacher would show up in the auditorium to see if everyone was okay.
By 10 o'clock in the evening, everyone was already waiting very impatiently, and many students even began to sleep on their desks......
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Vita Rozier, was finally in front of everyone once again.
"The castle is fine, everything is normal......," she said, "and everyone can return to the common room in an orderly manner to rest." ”
It was finally time to leave the auditorium, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Matthew looked up at the sky, and the enchanted ceiling, like the ceiling outside, was dotted with countless stars.
