Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Chapter 53, Before Making a Big Mistake



In the snoring Slytherin common room, several students were floating in the air.

This magical human body is suspended in the air. Even David Copperfield would say "this is simply magic" when he saw it.

Dumbledore joined Snape, who waved their wands in unison and moved the students sleeping on the carpet to comfortable armchairs.

Although the fire in the fireplace is burning brightly, it is still easy to catch cold and get sick after sleeping on the cold ground for a night.

Professor McGonagall, who was checking the girls' dormitory, walked back to the lounge first.The situation in the girls' dormitory was the same as in the common room. The girls were all sleeping deeply and Professor McGonagall was unable to wake them up from their sleep.

Professor McGonagall's face looked ugly, half flushed with anger, and generally unable to hide sleepiness.

It is really immoral to torment an old man who is over fifty years old in the middle of the night.As for Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster is over 100 years old anyway, so just do whatever it takes.

"What should we do," Professor McGonagall rested on an armchair, "convene a school board meeting to discuss countermeasures, or close the school for a while first?"

According to Professor McGonagall, it is important to teach students magic, but it is also important to protect their safety.The students of Slytherin House are in danger, and the school must protect them.

The first time was when seven Quidditch players fell ill at the same time. The second time was when all the students in the college fell into coma. So what will happen next time?

Being able to put so many students into a deep sleep without knowing it, the ability of the person behind the scenes should not be underestimated. It is very likely that he has the ability to destroy Slytherin House.

Professor McGonagall did not want to see the people behind the scenes display this amazing energy in the students.

"Things have not reached an irreversible point yet, Minerva." Dumbledore comforted, "There will be a turn for the better soon, and then all the conspiracy will be revealed."

Unlike Dumbledore who had everything in his mind, Professor McGonagall had no idea at all. She couldn't see where the turning point was, she could only see the dark clouds hanging over Slytherin.

"Should we just do nothing and let the people behind the scenes continue to do evil?" Professor McGonagall continued, "They are students, not pieces of meat."

Two things happened one after another...no, it should be three things, and the incident of entering the common room on Christmas holiday night.

It can be seen from these three things that the conspiracy of the person behind the scenes revolves around Slytherin.If you want to catch him, you can use Slytherin students as bait to lure him to the bait.

But this approach would be too risky.

A little carelessness will put Slytherin students in danger, and even their lives may not be saved.

"In fact, if we want to unravel the mystery, the best way is to wait and see what happens." Snape said, "Wait patiently for his next move, and then - both the person and the person will get the stolen goods."

Dumbledore and Snape had long suspected who the person behind the scenes was, and what happened tonight helped them confirm the answer.

The reason why they have not intervened for a long time is because the evidence they have is not sufficient yet. This is the disadvantage of following the rules and doing things according to the rules. The second reason is that although the two professors had different starting points, their ideas were achieved. Ingenious agreement, different paths to the same destination.

Snape's concern for the answer was limited, he just didn't want to simply reveal the matter and let it end hastily.

Snape wanted to have more tangible evidence, and it was best to catch the other party in action.When the time comes and everyone gets the stolen goods, no matter who comes forward, they will not be able to save the man behind the scenes. At least he will be sentenced to ten or eight years.

As the headmaster of Slytherin, targeting Slytherin House is targeting Snape and slapping Snape in the face. How can I bear this!

When it comes to grudges and vindictiveness, Snape can beat Mesa ten times over.Severus Snape really couldn't bear to swallow this bad breath if he didn't send this man to Azkaban.

Dumbledore's eyes followed Snape as he spoke his thoughts.But Snape always turned his back to the principal and did not give any response.

"I agree with Severus," Dumbledore said slowly. "On the premise of ensuring the safety of students, I want to know his ultimate purpose and the reason why he did this."

One is the principal of the school and the other is the dean of Slytherin. The two have similar ideas, and Professor McGonagall can't say anything more.

But Professor McGonagall was not convinced by the two. She still believed that protecting the safety of students was the top priority.

The common room fell into silence until the sound of Steele Martin's footsteps made the three people in the common room start talking again.

"What are you talking about?" Steele Martin said, walking towards where the three of them were.His face was solemn, and he seemed to be more worried about the students' safety than Snape.

"We are discussing how to wake up the students." Dumbledore said in a gentle tone, "We must be able to wake them up from their sleep without leaving a bad influence on them. It is better not to let the situation of the Quidditch players happen again. .”

Slytherin's poor performance on the Quidditch field was obvious to all the teachers and students in the school.

The performance of the team members was simply eye-catching. Several old men and old ladies were better than them.

Although the performance on the field was poor and the record was poor, no one criticized them too harshly.The psychological shadow of the team members will take time to heal, maybe quickly, maybe very slowly.

"Indeed, those students are so pitiful." Steele Martin continued. "Although their previous performance on the field was a bit rough, their love for Quidditch can still be seen. But now... well……"

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor sighed, and Snape frowned in disgust, as if something dirty had entered the Slytherin common room.

"Severus, I think Poppy should be waiting for you in the school hospital." Dumbledore said, "Steele, you are relatively young, so Argus asked you to help send you back."

Following Dumbledore's instructions, Snape, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, was the first to leave the common room.Later, Steele Martin also helped Filch, who was sleeping soundly, and walked to the administrator's office.

The last ones to leave were Dumbledore and McGonagall. The two old men walked slowly along the underground corridor. The torches along the way illuminated the faces of the two professors.

Professor McGonagall, who was wearing a plaid dressing gown, was in sharp contrast to the meticulous Transfiguration Professor of the past.

"Minerva, I know what you are worried about. I will not allow that to happen." Dumbledore said, his words always gave people a sense of security.

"But I still can't help but worry about the safety of the students." Professor McGonagall said with a worried look.The night was long and full of dreams, and Professor McGonagall was worried that if it continued, it would bring greater danger to the Slytherin students.

Dumbledore stopped and looked at McGonagall seriously.

The principal said sternly: "Minerva, please believe in me, believe that I can prevent misfortunes from happening. Please also believe in your former student, believe that he will recover from his mistakes."

"You mean..." Professor McGonagall exclaimed in surprise, "What happened to him over the years to make him what he is now!"

Steele Martin graduated from Gryffindor House with honors.

"I want to know that too," Dumbledore continued, "but I want to stop him before he makes a big mistake."
