Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

In the principal's office at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall sat behind her desk, concentrating on reading the parchment in her hand.

Although she has been the actual manager of Hogwarts for the past few years, there are some things that only the principal has the authority to know, such as the use of apparation in Hogwarts Castle, and only she can do this. Access to all generations can only be achieved behind the desk.

After a long time, Professor McGonagall put down the parchment in her hand, rubbed her brows, and picked up the teacup beside her.

After finishing half a cup of tea, Mag turned her head and looked at the portraits of past principals on the wall of her office. The principals in the portraits were either yawning or chatting, and some kept looking at her.

Finally, Professor McGonagall stopped at Dumbledore's portrait, but the old Dumbledore in the portrait had been napping, and she couldn't wake up this old friend who had worked with him for decades.

Looking at the portrait of Dumbledore sleeping soundly, Professor McGonagall recalled the decades she had known Dumbledore.

As a student, Dumbledore was McGonagall's Head of House and Professor of Transfiguration. It was Dumbledore who discovered her talent for transfiguration, and she became an Animagus under Dumbledore's guidance.

After graduating and working in the Ministry of Magic for two years, and experiencing a failed relationship and a lot of things, McGonagall sent a job application letter to Hogwarts, and then Dumbledore hired her.

After working at Hogwarts for several years, McGonagall received a letter from her mother saying that McGonagall's first love had married someone else. That night, Dumbledore found McGonagall in tears in her classroom, and McGonagall told him the whole story. Dumbledore comforted her and told her some stories about his family. From then on, the two established a relationship of mutual trust.

Just when Professor McGonagall was remembering his old friend, two loud noises suddenly sounded in the principal's office, and then two figures suddenly appeared in the office and fell to the ground.

"Where is this?" a rich man's voice called, "Cedric, are you there?"

"You're holding me down, Minister!" Cedric's voice came from under Scrimgeour's butt.

"Oh my God!" Professor McGonagall raised her wand and shouted in disbelief, "Your Excellency Minister, Cedric, why are you here?"

"McGonagall?" Scrimgeour, who was pulling up Cedric, asked doubtfully, "Where is this place? Is it safe?"

"This is the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

"Professor McGonagall replied, as for the question of safety, she thought there was no need to answer.

At this time, Scrimgeour also recognized this place. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained to Professor McGonagall: "The mysterious man led the Death Eaters to capture the Ministry of Magic. It was Cedric who took me to escape here. of."

After hearing the news, not only Professor McGonagall, but also the principals on the wall were shocked. Only Lao Deng had been sleeping in the portrait.

Then Scrimgeour continued: "I remember that Dumbledore had made a plan for Hogwarts to deal with such a situation. It seems that the name of the plan was 'Cockroach Pile'."

At this time, Dumbledore, who had been dozing in the painting hanging on the wall, suddenly opened his eyes, and then shouted loudly: "The box at the bottom of the bookcase!"

Professor McGonagall immediately walked to the bookcase, opened the bookcase and found a large box under a pile of old books at the bottom.

After taking out the box and placing it on his desk, Professor McGonagall found that the box was locked and there was a line of words written on the lid: "Meow".

Professor McGonagall looked at the box, then at Old Deng who fell asleep again in the oil painting, and made a note for someone in the little black book in his heart.

At this time Scrimgeour said to Professor McGonagall: "I need to go to Hogsmeade. Cedric, you stay here first and keep in touch at any time."

Scrimgeour left the principal's office after saying this, and Professor McGonagall decided to send Cedric away as a liaison before opening the box.

"Can you tell me about the current situation?" Professor McGonagall asked, "How did you and Scrimgeour apparate here?"

Compared with the plans left by Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall now needs to understand the current situation more.

After Cedric sat down on the chair in front of the desk, he organized his words, and then said: "I'd better answer the second question first."

"When I was still at Hogwarts and participating in the Triwizard Tournament, Dumbledore and Zhang were afraid that our two Hogwarts warriors would encounter fatal danger, so they made escape masks for the two of us. Insole door key.”

"Before the third game, Zhang gave me the portkey through Qiu. But I didn't use it at the time. Later, Dumbledore said that I might be able to use it in the future, so I kept it with me. I didn’t expect that I would use it today and save the minister.”

Professor McGonagall nodded. This matter was indeed in line with Dumbledore and Zhang Xu's usual style of preparing for a rainy day. And she also knew how Harry came back after being tricked that year.

"How is the situation at the Ministry of Magic?" Professor McGonagall asked.

Cedric's recovered soul trembled again, and then he said with lingering fear: "Earlier, the mysterious man came out of the fireplace in the hall with an unknown number of Death Eaters, and then forcibly attacked the Ministry of Magic. At that time, the mysterious man personally led The Death Eaters came towards the minister's office. After the minister arranged for each department to initiate an emergency evacuation plan, the mysterious man had already arrived at the door of the office and blocked the two of us in the office. Later, I took advantage of the mysterious man to finish talking nonsense and prepared to report to the minister. When I started, I suddenly activated the door key with the minister."

"According to the 'generator' plan we made in advance, when the mysterious people start to attack the Ministry of Magic, if we are unable to stop it, then we will immediately arrange for the evacuation of personnel from various departments to Hogsmeade, and the Ministry of Magic will resume normal work there. "

"Fortunately, today is the weekend and there are only a few people working in the ministry. The entire evacuation operation went smoothly."

After understanding the general situation, Professor McGonagall pondered for a while, and then said to Cedric: "Mr. Diggory, please go to the kitchen to find Dobby and ask him to quietly tell the professors at Hogwarts to return to Hogwarts immediately. Gwartz.”

There are only three people living in Hogwarts during the summer vacation. In addition to Professor McGonagall himself, there is Hagrid who lives by the Forbidden Forest, and an old man who no longer pays attention to the grievances in the world in front of Dumbledore's grave. Professor Sprout occasionally comes back to see the plants in the greenhouse.

Just when Cedric got up and turned around to leave the principal's office, there was another loud noise in the office, and then a young girl he had never seen before appeared in front of him.
