Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 1059: Block the door

Views:

"It seems that Umbridge has finally lost her patience."

After receiving the breaking news from Lee Jordan, Albert was not surprised. Instead, he felt like he had been waiting for him for a long time.

"What should we do now? I dare say Toad is definitely prepared. If Harry..." Lee Jordan lowered his voice and said, "Although everyone hates the Ministry of Magic, we will definitely suffer if we have a head-on conflict with the Ministry of Magic."

"Don't worry, and don't think Potter is that stupid. After using the sedative, Potter will definitely be able to deal with Fudge calmly, and maybe even bring unexpected surprises to everyone." Albert took out a special atlas from the seamless stretch leather bag and turned directly to the page of the principal's office to check the situation in the principal's office.

"What if Toad keeps hanging on to the DA? She might actually find some clues."

Lee Jordan was more worried that Toad would directly produce evidence. No, he believed that Umbridge would definitely produce evidence, otherwise the other party would never tear off her disguise and act rashly.

"Besides, didn't you also say that Umbridge would drive out Dumbledore and become the new headmaster of Hogwarts?"

"Don't worry, the situation is not as bad as you think." Albert smiled and comforted, "Even if Dumbledore really wants to leave school, he must really want to leave."

"Why?"

Lee Jordan was confused and totally unable to understand.

"Who knows?" Albert shrugged. "Perhaps Dumbledore wants to reduce the pressure from the Ministry of Magic and do something he wants to do. After all, it is inconvenient to be watched all the time. Leaving school temporarily may not be a bad choice. It can also let the students see the true face of Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic, and let the students of Hogwarts feel the cruelty of reality, so that they will not always hold unrealistic fantasies. It is a win-win situation."

Lee Jordan stared at Albert in amazement.

"If the situation gets completely out of control, let everyone knock them down, and then use the Oblivion Charm on them, or modify some of their memories."

Albert's words showed that he had no regard for Fudge and the Ministry of Magic at all. He even dared to say something about modifying the Minister of Magic's memory. It was really... too cool.

"Will there be no sequelae?"

Lee Jordan still had some concerns. After all, he was the Minister of Magic. When facing authority, everyone would inevitably feel awe.

"No, Fudge will no longer be a minister anyway. Even if he does remember it in the end, what can he do?" Albert asked with a smile, "Can he still bite you?"

Lee Jordan's mouth twitched, but he had to admit that it made a lot of sense, especially since they had no plans to work for the Ministry.

"How many Aurors did Umbridge bring?" Albert asked as he flipped through the atlas.

"I only saw two," Lee Jordan asked in confusion. "What's wrong?"

“The number of people is a bit small.”

"Few people?"

At first, Umbridge had asked several Aurors to drive Peeves away. After so many losses, how could Umbridge only ask for two Aurors? "Albert shook his head and analyzed, "Isn't she afraid of knocking herself unconscious again?"

"You mean..."

"I see. It's really a big deal."

At the school gate, Albert found a pile of densely packed ink marks, most of which were wizards he didn't know.

Albert closed the atlas, quickly packed up the things on the table, and walked out of the library with big strides.

"What, where are you going?"

Lee Jordan hurriedly chased after him, but found that Albert was not going to the principal's office, but was walking downstairs, and he didn't know where he was going.

"To the hallway."

"What are you doing in the hallway now?" Lee Jordan was even more confused.

"Of course we have to block the door. We can't let those wizards enter Hogwarts, or else Umbridge's arrogance will increase." Albert stopped and explained to Lee Jordan, "Fudge only has a few people, they can't cause any trouble. Can't you handle them?"

"Dumbledore won't do that for some reason, but you can, just remember to cast the Oblivion Charm and take this with you."

"Why are you giving me this?" Lee Jordan took the white fresh essence thrown by Albert with some confusion.

"You can use it to beat people up, so remember not to save it, and don't leave any evidence."

Did this mean they could beat up Fudge and Umbridge

Lee Jordan looked odd.

"This is really..."

"Fudge will be out soon. As long as there is no evidence left, there will be no problem. No one will care anyway. And even if I don't say anything, Fred and George will probably do the same. Toad caught Ginny and probably used Veritaserum."

For some reason, Lee Jordan couldn't help shaking all over as he stared blankly at Albert walking towards the hallway with the bottle of distilled essence in his hand.

This is going to cause trouble!

When Albert went downstairs to the entrance hall, a group of Aurors were already approaching the stone steps, ready to enter the castle through the oak door.

Suddenly a strange wind blew up and almost knocked the Aurors to the ground.

"What's going on?"

There was a brief moment of confusion among the Aurors.

"Ladies and gentlemen, did you make an appointment?"

Albert stood in front of the oak door on the stone steps, holding his magic wand, looking at the uninvited guests with a smile on his face.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"We are Aurors from the Ministry of Magic."

An older, slightly balding, middle-aged Auror stepped forward to negotiate with Albert.

"Auror gentlemen," Albert asked gently, "what are you doing at Hogwarts?"

"We have a special mission and cannot tell you."

"Why are you telling him this?"

A younger Auror was very impatient and walked directly up the stone steps, completely ignoring Albert. As a result, he had just taken a few steps forward when he was thrown out by an invisible force and fell heavily on the lawn.

"Do you have an appointment with the headmaster? I mean, does Professor Dumbledore know you are coming?" Albert was still smiling and looking down at the wizards below, not taking the little conflict just now to heart at all.

"You idiot..."

"We are here to carry out a secret mission for the Ministry of Magic. This is my Auror ID." The middle-aged Auror stopped his companion from being rude, took out a small notebook from his pocket, and explained to Albert, "We are not suspicious people."

"I'm sorry, there are so many of you here at once, and it's so chaotic outside. God knows whether you are Aurors from the Ministry of Magic." Albert raised his wand and lightly removed the immobilization spell, smiling and said, "The certificate can be forged. If that doesn't work, you can steal one. And you actually planned to attack me by surprise. It's really hard to imagine that Aurors would do such a thing."

"We know you are a duelling champion and we don't want to have a conflict with you." An Auror said firmly, "But if you hinder us from performing our duties as the Ministry of Magic, no matter how powerful you are..."

The Auror was interrupted by the bald Auror before he could finish his threat.

"What do you want?" The middle-aged, slightly bald Auror frowned and asked, not looking down on Albert because he was a student.

"I didn't think anything of it." Albert said with a smile.

"How can you let us in?" he continued.

It is definitely impossible to force your way through, because the guy in front of you is the youngest duel champion in history. It is said that he has subdued a fire dragon alone within a few minutes.

Even if we use our numerical advantage to knock down this guy in front of us and get into the castle, it probably won't end well.

Look at those students who gathered here, all staring at them unfriendlyly, and some even drew their wands and stood behind Albert.

If this matter is not handled properly, who knows what will happen.

"Please wait a moment. I will ask someone to find the professor to handle this matter. After all, it concerns the safety of all students in Hogwarts. I can't just let you enter the castle." Albert politely proposed a solution.

To be honest, this was not an excessive request, but... it really made them feel helpless. The mission they received was to reinforce Hogwarts and prevent some things that might happen.

Honestly, this is all a bit weird, but orders are orders.

"I thought the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic were busy chasing the escaped Death Eaters." A Hufflepuff boy sneered sarcastically, "If you don't know, you would think something big happened in Hogwarts."

"Actually, I'm also very curious about why you all have to put down the burden of hunting down the escaped Death Eaters and come to Hogwarts." Albert raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Aurors were all embarrassed. There was nothing they could do. After all, it was ridiculous enough for a group of Aurors to come to Hogwarts. Even though they were not all Aurors, but...

"Maybe, they are just a bunch of impostors." A Ravenclaw girl muttered, "After all, the Aurors are busy hunting down dark wizards. Who would be so busy to come to Hogwarts, and in a group?"

"Maybe they think there are a group of dark wizards in Hogwarts." A Gryffindor boy sneered.

"Damn it, the Ministry of Magic has been getting more and more ridiculous lately."

"Albert is so handsome."

Several girls looked at Albert who was standing in front of the gate without fear, and their eyes were almost full of stars.

"Ahem, girls, please go and find the professors first, and then go to the principal's office to see if there is anyone there. If possible, inform Principal Dumbledore about this."

The girls looked at each other, but still followed Albert's instructions and walked away.

"This guy..."

The Aurors looked at each other.

"If he graduates and joins the Ministry of Magic, I dare say he'll be the Minister of Magic within ten years." A famous Auror muttered.

Although I don't want to admit it, this is the personal charm of a leader.

Few people were truly willing to work for Fudge and Umbridge, so they were naturally willing to stall for time here. Moreover, the person in front of them was not easy to mess with, and the International Dueling Champion was not a bad title.

The first person to arrive was the administrator, Mr. Filch.

In fact, no one was looking for Filch. It was just that the administrator saw a bunch of students crowded here and wanted to come over to disperse them.

"Oh, Mr. Filch, you've arrived just in time. Please ask these Aurors to register their names first so that we can confirm their identities and whether they are on the invitation list."

"Oh well."

Filch was a little confused, but when he looked at Albert standing in front of the oak door with his wand in hand, he looked at the wizards blocked outside the door and swallowed.

He had obviously never seen such a big scene.

The Aurors took the parchment and quills handed to them by Filch and signed their names on them.

They waited outside for a long time, but no professor came.

Albert seemed helpless as well, and turned to the students behind him and said, "Go and help find other professors, any professor will do, or find the school's ghosts and ask them to find the professors."

"Mr. Filch, please take the signature to Professor McGonagall. If possible, it would be best if Professor McGonagall comes in person." Albert did not reach out to take the parchment handed to him by Filch, but gave the order calmly.

"Oh, okay, I'll go right away." Filch glanced at the group of Aurors, turned and walked towards Professor McGonagall's office.

The Aurors were getting very impatient. They were blocked at the door by Albert for half an hour, but they had no way out because they all knew that the man in front of them would not let them into the castle without a positive answer, and he had sufficient reasons for that.
