The Christmas was very happy with the Freemasons, especially Victor, although his human-modified mecha had not supported even ten minutes in the confrontation with Mike - this was when Mike did not use the Great Destructive Curse.

But Victor was not discouraged. He believed that the reason why he lost so badly was largely because he could not think as rationally as a machine, so he wasted too much energy.

So he once again proposed to Mike to transform his brain.

Of course, Mike didn't agree.

After the Christmas holiday, Hogwarts students also faced another difficult problem - the start of school.

In the auditorium, Mike, Franklin and others were enjoying their first meal after returning to Hogwarts. Since they "comfort" Penelo for several days during Christmas, Mike was in a good mood and was humming a song while eating.

But the other students beside him were different. They were all frowning and turned a blind eye to the breakfast that was much more abundant than ever on the plate.

In Mike's view, this is completely a manifestation of phobia at the beginning of school.

In the past, this symptom never occurred to Hogwarts students, because for many ordinary wizards, campus life in Hogwarts is much more interesting than life in their small family.

But this year is different because there is an annoying professor in the school - Umbridge.

"Damn it, our first session this morning was the Black Magic Defense Class! It's so annoying!"

"Hey! Stop talking! Are you feeling uncomfortable with me? I still have five days of confinement and have not been executed. Now that school is on, Umbridge will definitely continue to come to me!"

"Hey!*2"

...

Listening to the lament of the students around him and looking at their desperate appearance, McC shook his head silently and withdrew his gaze.

At this moment, a large group of owls suddenly flew in from the foyer. They grabbed one by one, one by one, hovered over the heads of everyone, like bombers carrying out air strikes, throwing down a package from time to time, making people unable to help but want to escape from this dangerous place.

But the only ones who really put their ideas into action are the first-year students who have just joined. The old students have long been used to this scene. They are very confident in the throwing skills of these owl messengers - they will at most smash your breakfast, but they will not smash the parcel on your head.

"Bang!"

With a light sound, a bundle of newspapers was thrown into the plate in front of Mike by the owls, but the food on the plate had long been wiped out by Mike, so there was no food residue or soup flying or splashing.

The owl who threw down the newspaper seemed very disappointed, circled over Mike's head for a while before slowly leaving.

Mike opened the latest Prophet Daily with a calm look on his face.

"Shocked! Hogwarts Principal Dumbledore was taken away by Auror last night and is suspected to be deeply involved in a case of embezzlement of public funds!"

As soon as I opened the newspaper, this conspicuous title that was enlarged and blacked out came into Mike's eyes.

Mike was stunned at first, then continued to watch.

At around 17:37:42 yesterday, the famous white wizard, the principal of the Hogwarts Magic School, and the president of the International Federation of Magicians... was taken away by Aurors in the office of the Hogwarts Principal.

According to Mr. Rufus Sclinger, the director of the Auror office, who led the team, Dumbledore was reported to have repeatedly embezzled public funds during his tenure as principal of the Hogwarts Magic School, resulting in insufficient funds in the school.

So they will take Dumbledore back to the Ministry of Magic for the next step of interrogation.

Another important member of the Ministry of Magic, Ms. Umbridge, senior examiner of the Ministry of Magic, said that Dumbledore was what she reported.

During her tenure at Hogwarts, she found that many senior students often encountered insufficient materials when studying courses such as potions, such as courses that require a lot of expensive materials, which she could not understand, because every year the Ministry of Magic and the school managers would send a large amount of materials to Jin Gallon to Hogwarts. Logically, this situation would never happen.

Therefore, she investigated the matter, but unexpectedly discovered the secret of the corruption of principal Dumbledore.

At present, Ms. Umbridge said that she has obtained a lot of evidence and will definitely give justice to all teachers and students of Hogwarts!

...

After closing the newspaper, Mike's expression on his face was a little weird.

Because many of the words Umbridge said in an interview were from him.

But this is not the point of the matter. The key now is that Dumbledore left Hogwarts again!

Mike turned his head and looked around. Sure enough, most of the students around him became turbulent, obviously he had discovered the explosive news in the Prophet Daily today.

After packing up the tableware, Mike walked straight out of the auditorium.

Dumbledore's arrest was undoubtedly Umbridge's revenge. It is estimated that Dumbledore himself never expected Umbridge's revenge to come so quickly and with such great strength, he actually directly asked the Ministry of Magic to take him away.

But things have happened, and now we need to see whether Dumbledore can escape as soon as possible, otherwise Hogwarts would soon become Umbridge's one-man show.

Mike's morning class was ancient magic literature. The professor in this class obviously heard about Dumbledore's arrest, so he seemed absent-minded during class, and the things he taught were also scattered, and basically he was distracted throughout the whole process.

In fact, it was not only her, but also the students in the classroom were constantly talking about this matter, and many girls even had their eyes red.

After class, Mike was blocked by Harry and the other two.

"Mike! Have you heard of it?"

"You mean Dumbledore was arrested?" Mike said to Hermione. "Of course, I saw that article early this morning."

"Now Umbridge should be happy," Ron pouted, looking annoyed, "Hogwarts is hers again!"

"I don't think it's necessary to worry too much."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Harry.

"Dumbledore should come out soon. After all, a person like him will not do anything like corruption. Such false accusations will not defeat Dumbledore. So we should be concerned about another thing!"

"What's up?"

"They are hiding something from us!"

Harry leaned into McEl and lowered his voice.

Mike and Ron looked puzzled.

"Do you remember Mr. Weasley was attacked by a snake? I had a dream at that time. In the dream, I was that snake! It was a very wonderful experience. I could clearly sense all the feelings of the snake, including its thoughts!" Harry said, "So I know very well that the snake was not for Mr. Weasley at all. Its target was something in the room behind Mr. Weasley. Why did Mr. Weasley appear in that place in the middle of the night? Isn't it good to sleep at home? So the answer is already very obvious. Mr. Weasley must have been..."

“…Precautioned for something!”

Harry and Ron said the final answer in unison.

"This is not the most terrifying thing. I discussed it with Black and others. We all felt that the giant python that attacked Mr. Weasley was sent by Voldemort! In other words, the person who really wanted that thing was Voldemort!"

Everyone present was confused when they heard this, while Ron looked around, nervous, as if he was afraid that others would know that Harry called the person's name directly.

Suddenly, Hermione next to him slapped his palms suddenly, and then he put the Prophet Daily this morning in front of everyone as if he was remembering something.

"Ministry Staff Died in a Violent Life"

St. Mungo Hospital promised a comprehensive investigation into the death of Ministry of Magic staff Broderick Border last night.

Mr. Bode, forty-nine years old, was strangled to death in a hospital bed by a pot of plants, and the therapist rescued him ineffectively.

Mr. Bord was injured several weeks ago in a work accident.

Melianm Straw, the therapist in charge of Mr. Bode's ward, was suspended with a paid time and did not accept an interview, but according to reliable sources, Mr. Bode died entirely because someone gave him a devil vine as an ordinary potted plant.

At present, we do not know the exact source of this devil vine, but there is no doubt that the administrators of St. Mungo Hospital have an unshirkable responsibility...

After reading the entire report, Ron said with envy:

"Paid suspension? It's great. I want to find such a job in the future."

Hermione gave him a blank look and said, "Pullblack in the newspaper," she said:

"Why is your focus so strange? Take a look, we have seen this Mr. Bode before! It was in the ward next to Mr. Weasley, and the light was lying on the ceiling. We also saw the Devil Net, and the therapist said it was a Christmas gift!"

"Oh! Wouldn't that mean that if we could have looked more carefully at that time, Mr. Bode wouldn't have..."

"Come on, we can't blame this. After all, who can think that Devil Net will disguise itself as an ordinary potted plant?" Ron retorted Harry's words, "If you want to blame, you have to blame the person who gave the gift. Who made him so stupid that he didn't even know what he bought."

Hermione rolled her eyes again, and Mike said:

"I think this shouldn't be an accident. After all, no one is really stupid enough to give a devil net to others as a gift. So this is murder, a very smart murder!"

Harry and Ron took a breath when they heard this, while Hermione snapped her fingers and said:

"Mc answered correctly! And I also found out some interesting things there. Mr. Bord was working for the Department of Mystery Things, and he was a silent man!"

Ron exclaimed again, and Mike nodded, only Harry was still confused.

"The Ministry of Magic's Mystery Department, just like its name, is a place dedicated to mysterious experiments. The people there specialize in researching curses, prophecies, space, universe and even time. The employees inside have signed confidentiality agreements and cannot mention anything in it. So the employees inside are also called silent people." Mike said, "I understand what Hermione means. You want to say that Voldemort (Ron shivered again) is likely to be placed in the Department of Mystery Department, so they want to try to question and silence Mr. Bode, right?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"I don't think this matter can be solved by ourselves. We'd better tell Dumbledore that it's better for them to handle it."

"I told them!" Harry suddenly raised the volume, "but they just said they knew and didn't want to tell me anything! Especially Dumbledore, who seemed very cold to me recently. He forced me to stay at St. Mungo Hospital on Christmas, and now he asked me to learn some brain closure from Snape. I guess he must think I'm crazy!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Hermione's expression immediately became very exciting. Mike's mouth raised slightly, while Ron looked shocked.

"What? He actually asked Snape to teach you?" Ron said, "This is really terrible. Snape's old bat will definitely torture you."

"Who said no? Alas! I'm going to his office tonight to take the first class. I really don't know what to do."

"Uh, I think you probably don't know what kind of curse is brain closure, right? Harry."

Hermione asked slowly, her face a little embarrassed, while Harry shook his head inexplicably when he heard this.

"The brain closure technique can close the user's brain, making it invalid for curse like soul-catching and chanting curse that can invade the brain. This is an extremely difficult curse. To learn it, you must have extraordinary talents in addition to having enough magic power." Mike explained, "I have to say that although Professor Snape is not very good, he is indeed a very talented wizard. In the spell of brain closure technique, he can be regarded as a master. So Harry, I think Dumbledore is already very interested in you. The master shaman personally teaches you brain closure technique, and such opportunities are rare."

Hermione, who was standing by, nodded quickly and said that if she could, she even wanted to take classes at Professor Snape instead of Harry. As long as she could learn brain closure, she would be willing to accept it even if Professor Snape scolded her and punished her.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore did not think she had to learn this spell.

"But...but I..."

Harry looked dissatisfied, and it can be seen that he was racking his brains to think about the reasons for refuting.

"Anyway, Harry," said Mike, "you try to learn it first. Although Snape is not against you, it is worth it if you can learn brain closure. If you really can't lose weight, you can make your request to Dumbledore, right?"

“…Okay!”
