Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

() In the principal's office, nothing seems to have changed much.

The sorting hat is still resting on the shelf at the back, Phoenix Fox squints and squints, and the silver flask on the long table next to the bookshelf is still murmuring green smoke ...

Only the top of the wall behind the desk, in rows of golden frames, added another.

That was the portrait of the former principal of Hogwarts School of Magic. Whenever the principal departed, an additional portrait of the principal appeared on the wall.

At this moment, in the new photo frame that just appeared, the old wizard with half-moon glasses on the bridge of his nose squinted his eyes, seemingly closing his eyes.

But if you look at it for a long time, you will find that unlike other portraits that can freely move around in the frame, the old wizard in this frame has not been doing anything.

It's as if it were a Muggle photo.

"Mileva, the minister will come this afternoon. The schedule is already set ..."

Suddenly, a person walked into one of the empty frames and said something.

"Thank you, Evra."

He has been standing at his desk since just now, staring at the last portrait of Professor McGonagall, who turned his attention to the person who spoke, and nodded gently.

Just as she looked again at Dumbledore's portrait, the door of the principal's office was knocked.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

"... Come in." McGonagall slowly turned around and pointed the wand with his wand.

The words didn't fall, the door quietly opened, and three professors, Flivi, Snape, and Sprout, came in in turn.

They are all deans of the colleges. With the death of Dumbledore and the temporary absence of the principal, the deans of the colleges became the highest decision makers in Hogwarts.

Although Professor McGonagall was temporarily elected as the principal's agent, she did not have the absolute right to deal with some major school affairs.

"It's all here," McGonagall said slightly. "The Minister of Magic will arrive in the afternoon, but before then, I think we should talk about ... the direction of Hogwarts' future."

"How do you say?" Asked Flivi, sharply.

Professor McGonagall looked at the deans in front of him, and went through the things he was thinking about before he continued to speak.

"First of all," she pursed, "according to Snape's description, Dumbledore's cause of death should not have been homicide-he 'fall' from the astronomical tower, right? "

As he spoke, McGonagall glanced at Snape, and Snape nodded expressionlessly.

"There were no signs of being invaded by the school. We searched together last night. There should be no problem with this." She said earnestly. "At least, I don't think anyone can slip into Hogwart without any trace." Hereby, Dumbledore is silently killed. "

Professor McGonagall's statement was unanimously agreed by the other two deans.

"So, Dumbledore's actual cause of death--"

"... It was suicide."

As the door of the principal's office was opened again, Maca quickly walked to the deans and made a clear conclusion about the matter.

"McLean?" "Maca?"

When all four of the principal's room looked at him, he nodded calmly, and then his eyes fell on Professor McGonagall.

"It was suicide," Marka repeated the words just now, and then continued, "I don't know the specific circumstances for the time being, but it's something that Dumbledore himself conveyed to me ..."

"This ..." Professor McGonagall froze.

"But why is he doing this?" Professor Flitwick squeaked. "It's not reasonable at all?"

"Procrastination is probably one of the reasons," Maca shook her head. "Of course, for Professor Dumbledore, there are other more important reasons for this."

Judging by what Dumbledore said to him, there may be more changes next.

Although Dumbledore was "selfish" once, as he said, but he chose to continue on the path of magic, apparently still working hard for the future of this world.

He even used suicide to abandon the flesh, and went to the edge of death.

"In short," Maca said, "there will definitely be worse things going on next. Whether it be Hogwarts or elsewhere, we need to watch closely and step up precautions."

"Maca, is this what Albus told you?" Professor Sprout asked.

"Almost!" Maca spread his hands, a little helplessly, "Professor Dumbledore has never liked to say things too clearly, you know that ..."

"Then ... what should the students do next? Any suggestions?"

Maca can see that after Dumbledore's death, Professor McGonagall's usual courage and decisiveness shrank greatly.

Maybe she's confused too!

After all, so far, Dumbledore has made all kinds of decisions behind Hogwarts alone. When looking at the status quo and development of the entire school, the position will vary, and the field of vision will also change greatly.

Although Dumbledore did intend to train Professor McGonagall, there were too many big facts that had to be handled by Dumbledore himself in the most crucial years.

Although Professor McGonagall has the ability to be the head of a school, taking over Hogwarts during this stressful period is a very fatal test for anyone.

Coupled with Dumbledore's death, it also gave her a very heavy blow.

"Professor McGonagay, don't worry ..." Marka looked at her calmly. "Just do what you want, and we'll all support you-Hogwarts wasn't started by someone from the beginning. A place where one can stand alone. "

To be honest, McGonagall had planned to suspend the school temporarily. The reason she had this idea was entirely because of the pressure coming from a landslide and tsunami.

As soon as Dumbledore's death was announced, the parents of the students would inevitably shake the authority of Hogwarts.

In the minds of many parents, the existence of Dumbledore was one of the important reasons they chose to enroll their children in Hogwarts.

However, when Voldemort struck successively, Dumbledore died somehow?

Public opinion in the magic society, the intervention of the Ministry of Magic, the anxiety of the students ... all these things will make the school enter a period of turbulence.

Whether to reunite people's hearts or to fall apart in this way is a major issue that will soon be faced.

When there is no clue, choosing to temporarily suspend classes and rectify, and to protect the safety of students as the first priority, will undoubtedly be the most reassuring measure for parents.

but……

"Curriculum arrangements for all grades remain unchanged, and priority is given to the completion of teaching goals for students." Professor McGonagall nodded towards Maca, then said with a serious expression, "Under the above prerequisites, strengthening the security of the entire school, At the same time, the most minute investigation and filing of all people entering and leaving the school is filed. "

"I agree." "Agree."

Both Flitwick and Sprout immediately responded to Professor McGonagall's decision, and Snape nodded, naturally Maca was even more dissatisfied.

The measures decided by Professor McGonagall are clear-first let the little wizards continue their normal classes, and then strengthen the school's security alert, but the entry and exit of the school are only investigated and recorded.

This is obviously a series of coping arrangements that are loose and tight.

Marka understood that Professor McGonagall had understood Dumbledore's intentions and wanted to use this to confuse the outside world.

"But ..." Professor Flitwick frowned slightly, screaming, "What should I say to the board of directors? The sudden death of the current principal needs to act according to chapters ... The board of directors should not let this happen. Is it just hasty? "

"Yeah! And the Ministry, in the afternoon ..." Professor Sprout hesitated.

"Of course you have to do things according to chapters," Professor McGonagall is no longer confused at this time, she said decisively, "We not only do things according to chapters, but also hold Dumbledore's funeral in public!"

"This is indeed a good idea," Maca agreed, and continued, "but before that, there is one more thing to discuss ..."

"What's the matter?" McGregor asked, puzzled.

"Professors, who are you familiar with Gellert Greenward? I need to focus on this Dumbledore's ... well ... should be considered a 'former friend'?"

The words of Maca made the other four in the principal's room beat.

"Are you saying ... Sybil's prophecy?" Flivi said solemnly.

"To be honest, I have never seen such a clear prophecy," Marka frowned. "If the prophecy is fulfilled, then Greenward will be one of the enemies we have to face next ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Regarding Greenward, it may be more appropriate for Old Bins to talk about it ... "Professor McGonagall thought," Although speaking of Greenward, everyone will certainly think of Deng Bledo and his duel; but his most dangerous place is in the control of the overall situation. "

"Milleva is right," Flivi said, a little skeptically, "but ... Greenward, is he ... alive?"

"... who knows? Probably ..." Maca shook her head.

At first Greenward expanded his terrorist activities, but did not extend to the British magic world. So here, not many people know the specific situation at that time.

It's been a long time now, and although his name is still in various historical sources, who can really understand him, how many are left?

Is Gellert Greenward alive?

Here, only Maca still vaguely remembers that the first Dark Lord was indeed alive.
