Change the world from Hogwarts

Chapter 50: Night Walker

After all, Connor didn't come to the library to study.

The reason why he spent so much time on the book "Human Metamorphosis" was partly because he found the book's way of answering questions very interesting.

On the other hand, he really needs something to kill time and get through the afternoon without classes.

After Mrs. Pince left and locked the door of the library, this was his time alone.

"Fluorescence."

There was no need to carry an oil lamp around, just a simple spell, and a ray of light appeared on the tip of Connor's wand.

That cool glow is enough to illuminate the labels on the bookshelf.

"Here are the textbooks, over there are the storybooks, and the news from past issues..."

Fortunately, those things are not hard to find.

As part of the history of magic, those past news carriers are well protected and have their own dedicated classification area.

Although Mrs. Pince did not give him a detailed introduction to the library's major categories, after casually walking around the spacious library, he quickly found the newspapers where past issues of news were placed.

Row after row, even the year and month have special marks.

The next step is to find the corresponding news.

"I remember it happened in 981, and the month should be...October."

Then, the first newspaper I bought recorded the relevant events.

Voldemort is dead! The world returns to peace!

The huge title is placed there, with a ruined house in the background.

The second newspaper recorded the news of the arrest of the Death Eaters:

The traitor who betrayed the great Potters! Sirius!

On the cover is a lost man, his eyes reveal despair, and beside him, a fat wizard seems to be showing off his power.

"The arrester was... Cornelius Fudge, but he was not an Auror at the time, he just happened to pass by that place..."

This was followed by a series of news about the celebratory parades to celebrate Voldemort's fall.

But soon there was another tragedy, the news of Death Eaters attacking Aurors.

The Longbottoms were tortured. When will the Ministry of Magic catch the Death Eaters?

Who should be blamed for the tragedy of the Prewett brothers?

Bones' family died tragically, and Miss Amelia, the Auror Commanding Officer, announced without any restraint of emotion that the guilty would be judged by law.

After going through a series of titles, Connor also discovered the surnames of many acquaintances.

October 1981 was destined to be filled with joy and blood, and the struggle between the Ministry of Magic and the crazy Death Eaters reached an extreme point.

Of course, this final result has already been determined.

With a large number of Auror casualties and deaths, all the Death Eaters were captured and brought to justice.

This should have been something worth bragging about. After more than ten years of turmoil, the magical world was finally able to settle down.

But the news that followed was no different from a joke in Connor's eyes.

Although Severus Snape was accused of being the backbone of the Death Eaters, Dumbledore testified in court that he was a spy sent there.

There is also news about the Malfoy family.

"Mr. Lucius Malfoy claimed that he was controlled by the Imperius Curse..."

After being attracted by the title about the Malfoy family, Connor glanced through the contents.

But the content in it can’t help but make people laugh when you think about it.

For example, about being controlled by the Imperius Curse, thanking the Ministry of Magic for saving him from suffering, etc. The personal interview about Mr. Lucius probably described these contents, and the focus is on the second half.

"To express our gratitude, we donate 100,000 gold galleons..."

What Imperius Curse, what expressions of gratitude, at first glance it seems like you are buying peace with money.

In addition to Malfoy, who made the headlines, Connor also saw the names of several other families.

For example, Goyle, Crabbe, etc. I bet he was right before. Is Slytherin really the home of Death Eaters?

Does Principal Dumbledore really have no control?

In addition, the person in charge of this work at the time was Mr. Barty Crouch, who also approved the Aurors to use the Death Curse to fight the Death Eaters.

In addition, he seems to have arrested his own son.

But unfortunately, he does not seem to have gained any reputation as a selfless person.

On the contrary, some people accused him of being inhumane, and some even thought that it was Mr. Crouch's upbringing that caused his children to become Death Eaters.

What's the point of this?

According to this statement, Dumbledore must not step down from the position of principal?

How bad is the school spirit at Hogwarts?

After reading a series of news from that period, Connor only felt a strong sense of absurdity in his heart.

Except for the people who really died, everything was like a joke. After defeating the big devil, no one pursued other matters at all. It seemed that as long as Voldemort was defeated, the mistakes made by others could be forgotten.

Everything can be explained by the Imperius Curse...

"This is the Ministry of Magic..."

After putting the newspapers back in place, he selected some of the information he needed:

Peter Pettigrew was awarded the Order of Merlin First Class for his heroic death in stopping Sirius.

And the person who does this is...

"Still Cornelius Fudge."

It was also clearly recorded in the Daily Prophet that today's Minister Fudge was very busy with this, dealing with the aftermath of the fallen hero, and received a lot of praise.

From this aspect, this is even a powerful achievement for him to ascend to the position of minister.

Arrest Sirius who murdered the Potters, deal with the aftermath of the fallen hero's family, give him the honor he deserves, etc.

And if this matter is overturned, what will happen to the current minister?

It can only be said that it is difficult to do...

After rearranging the newspapers in their original order, Connor thought about his next move.

In the end, the trouble may not be re-capturing Pettigrew, but the subsequent series of operations.

But after thinking for a while, Connor discovered something very important.

"Hey...why should I think about this kind of problem?"

Shouldn't it be left to Dumbledore?

Anyway, he just needs to make his own preparations.

If the Ministry of Magic was still functioning normally, they should know how to deal with it.

But will they really admit their mistakes so easily?

In the library late at night, Connor was just thinking deeply.

But the final conclusion was not very good.

Obviously, it would be in the greater interest of the Ministry of Magic for Sirius to continue to stay in Azkaban.

"Click"

Just when Connor came to the conclusion in his heart, something sounded in his ears.

That was the sound of the door lock being opened. At that moment, Connor directly extinguished the light source on the wand.

'crunch'

There was a sound, and the ancient wooden door was pushed open.

However, there was no one at the door.

The moonlight shines into the library through the open door, making it look a bit eerie and strange.

However, Connor had clear feelings.

His senses deceived him, as targeted illusions were cast.

"Is it the Illusion Body Curse..."

After taking a deep breath, Connor waved his wand gently, and his figure also disappeared.

He knows how to do this.
