Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Not only was Harry's faith broken, but most of the students at Hogwarts felt this way.

Because they also received an expedited edition of "The Quibbler" that Penello spent a lot of money urgently printing.

The ironclad evidence on "The Quibbler" made them have to believe a fact.

That's their hero, captured in a shameful way by the person they most respected.

For a time, the originally noisy auditorium suddenly became silent, and everyone's faces were filled with strong confusion.

You must know that in their impressions, Mike and Dumbledore are both in the same camp. The two comrades who fought Voldemort together, why did they fight each other?

Moreover, since Dumbledore was able to subdue and kill Voldemort's Mike with a crushing attitude, it means that he is at least capable of fighting against Voldemort.

Then comes the problem.

When Voldemort and the Death Eaters ran rampant in the wizarding world, why didn't Dumbledore take action?

Is it true that, as "The Quibbler" says, their headmaster is docile in the face of evil, but slams the punch in the face of heroes?

Most teenagers' thinking is always two points and one line, and their superficial social experience is not enough to support them to think about problems from more angles.

So when they found that their wisdom alone could not give a reasonable answer to this series of questions, they chose the most direct way - to question Dumbledore.

So, after a brief silence, the Hogwarts Hall became noisy again.

The students started rushing towards the headmaster's office at Hogwarts like crazy.

This surprised the professors who stayed in the auditorium to maintain order, and quickly blocked in front of the students to prevent them from moving forward.

In the past, students like these professors would be scattered as soon as they came forward to make troubles, but today is different. Under the stimulation of a series of events, many of the students have lost their minds, and some even took out their wands and started. Attack the professors.

Professors at Hogwarts have always been synonymous with powerful names, a reputation that Flitwick, Snape, McGonagall and other senior professors have made.

But in fact, as a whole,

The strength of the Hogwarts professors is not high. You must know that Hogwarts is still a school after all. What they need is not high-strength combatants, but teachers who have mastered all kinds of esoteric knowledge.

And the professors who are now stuck in the auditorium belong to the latter group. These scholar-type professors are stunned the first time they are attacked.

In a sense, wizard battles are similar to Muggle gun battles. They are both very strong on offense and weak on defense. Although this is only an attack by students, if you really want to be hit by these spells, then These people probably won't feel too well.

As a result, in the face of the aggressive students, these high-ranking professors in the past withdrew.

A large number of students directly broke through their defense lines and continued to rush towards their destination.

At this moment, a huge force emerged from the stairs and pushed the students back into the auditorium.

Snape, who was wearing a black robe, walked out of the stairs slowly, staring at the students silently with eyes as deep as a lake.

Seeing this, the students who were still aggressive at first immediately persuaded them.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree!

The name Professor Snape has left such a shadow in the minds of their students over the past few years that they instinctively flinch when they see Snape now.

For a time, the scene returned to the previous confrontation state again!

But just when the situation was stalemate, Chris' tall figure suddenly appeared in the auditorium.

In this auditorium, where at least more than 100 people have gathered, Chris walked around the crowd in such a grand manner, looked around the Hogwarts hall, and touched the walls or tabletops beside him from time to time. look.

The strange thing is that the students standing around turned a blind eye to the person who suddenly appeared beside them. They just let Chris walk through the crowd and arrive at the stairs.

Looking at Snape who was blocking the stairs like a doorman, the corners of Chris' mouth suddenly rose.

I saw him put his face in front of Snape and carefully scrutinized his shiny hair. After confirming some things, he frowned slightly with disgust and shook his head. He accelerated his pace and walked around the stairs behind Snape. mouth to go.

Snape, who was observed closely by Chris, also seemed to have noticed something. He frowned and looked behind him, but in the end he still didn't find Chris's figure. He could only turn back angrily and continue to stare at the group of students. .

At this time, Chris had already stepped on a staircase, and let the floating staircase send him to a higher passage before walking down.

Looking back at the familiar staircase with some nostalgia, Chris embarked on the journey again.

But before he could go far, an illusory figure appeared in front of him.

That's Peeves!

I saw Peeves grinning and drifting towards the auditorium.

A gleam of joy flashed in Chris's eyes, and he looked at the bastard with interest. Although Peeves was basically a disgusting character at Hogwarts, at this moment, in Chris's eyes, he was more like him. It's an old friend who hasn't seen the front for a long time.

While Chris looked at Peeves, Peeves was watching Chris.

Originally, Peeves didn't want to deal with this student. You must know that his uncle Peeves, as the most famous prankster at Hogwarts Castle, also went to the auditorium to attend the 'banquet'!

But Chris's act of staring straight at him aroused his anger.

Are all the little kids now so ignorant?

It's fine if you don't run away when you meet Peeves, how dare you stare at him like this?

So, Peeves decided to teach this ignorant kid a lesson!

But just as Pippi swooped down with a smile, ready to pass through Chris's body to give him a chill, his translucent body suddenly froze.

"You...you are..."

Before he could finish speaking, Peeves' body trembled violently, and he turned sharply and wanted to get into the wall and escape.

But it's too late.

I saw that Chris's fingers were lightly hooked, and Peeves' body was forcibly pulled in front of Chris as if it was caught by a big hand.

"Peeves." Bayi Chinese Website

Chris murmured as he reached out and rubbed Peeves' illusory body repeatedly.

His hands seemed to have a magical power, and under his rubbing, Peeves quickly turned into a ball, and he moved forward as he swayed.

After getting the Peeves ball, Chris seemed to be in a better mood. His footsteps were much lighter, and he arrived in front of the principal's office in a short time.

Unlike usual, the huge and hideous monster stone statue was not guarding the office door at the moment. The dark fan-shaped corridor was exposed in front of Chris, as if the owner inside had long expected that there would be guests. Arrive, so open the door ahead of time.

Seeing this, Chris smiled at the twisted and frightened grimace on the ball in his hand, threw it aside and strode in.

As he expected, the ancient ornate wooden door at the end of the corridor was also wide open. For some reason, he seemed a little nervous at the moment. After hesitating for a moment, he sorted out his clothes and entered the office.

As soon as he entered the office, Chris smelled a rotten smell, which made him frown.

But soon his brows relaxed, because looking around, the situation in the principal's office was almost the same as when he came here, and even the positions of the portraits of the old principals on the wall had not changed.

"Oh!"

On a wooden shelf in the corner of the office, Phoenix Fox tweeted vigilantly at Chris.

Unlike other things, Fox's body was noticeably smaller than the last time he came.

But Chris was not surprised by this. He knew very well that phoenixes were reborn from ashes every once in a while, so it was very common for them to change in size.

He smiled at Fox, then turned his gaze to a reclining chair behind the center planetarium.

On that reclining chair at this moment, there is a figure lying on it - Dumbledore.

Today's Dumbledore has become thinner, and there is almost no flesh on his body, and the shriveled and wrinkled skin is so tightly wrapped around his skeleton, which is much thicker than normal.

The long white beard and hair on his head were in disarray, and coupled with the dry, slender body, it made him look like a large brush that had been written on.

If the angry students downstairs were shown what Dumbledore looked like now, they would have firmly believed that Dumbledore had been dead for many days, because at the moment he looked almost indistinguishable from a mummified corpse.

But Chris knew that Dumbledore was not dead, and although he was not far from death, at least he was still alive.

Taking a deep breath, Chris walked slowly to Dumbledore, squatted down carefully and called softly:

"Professor, Professor Dumbledore."

"Um?"

Dumbledore opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at the source of the sound. His originally beautiful blue eyes had disappeared at this moment, and a thick layer of white shadow covered his cornea, which made people very suspicious. Whether Dumbledore could still see at this moment.

Chris was also deeply puzzled by this, so in order to allow Dumbledore to see himself as clearly as possible, he deliberately brought his face closer.

"Tom, so you're not dead yet."

A hoarse, rock-like voice came from Dumbledore's dry throat, but hearing this, a smile bloomed on Chris's face.

"Yeah, Professor Dumbledore!" Chris said with a smile. "Of course I'm not dead."

Dumbledore nodded and continued to say with difficulty:

"Are you here to kill me?"

As soon as Dumbledore said this, the expression on Chris's face immediately froze, and he didn't say a word there.

At this moment, the portraits on the wall who were still sleeping soundly also opened their eyes and looked at the pair of teachers and students below vigilantly.

What is surprising is that among the magical portraits of the old headmasters is a portrait belonging to Dumbledore.

Different from the mummified corpse on the reclining chair, Dumbledore in the portrait was full of red, tall and straight, with the same smile, and a full of vitality.

And in this eerie silence, Chris suddenly spoke.

"Professor, there is a question that has been bothering me, can you help me?"

Chris asked, but did not give Dumbledore a chance to refuse, and continued:

"Why did you reject my request to be a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts in the first place?"

As soon as these words came out, Dumbledore's gray eyes seemed to become clearer. He looked at the expressionless Chris and slowly shook his head and said:

"Because of your eyes."

"look?"

"Yes, that look is familiar to me. It belongs to the resentful. Although I don't know what you went through before returning to Hogwarts, it must have been a period of pain and cynicism. Experience." Dumbledore said with some sense, "I am also a past person, so I know very well that you are not suitable to be a professor at Hogwarts at the time. Every student is a blank parchment. , your extreme emotions at the time will infect them and eventually make them as extreme as you. So... I rejected you and hoped that you would improve and come back here again. As a result..."

"It turned out that I did come back, but in a more extreme way?"

Chris interrupted Dumbledore's words, and a grimace gradually appeared on his expressionless face.

Dumbledore was silent.

Seeing this, Chris seemed to be unable to suppress his emotions any longer, got up and pointed at Dumbledore and roared:

"You clearly saw it at the beginning! You clearly saw it! Then why don't you want to help me? Hmm!? As a professor, isn't it your duty to help students get out of trouble?"

"You always... look down on me like this! You burned down my closet the first time we met! Later, when you got to Hogwarts, you kept targeting me! Did I make you hate me like that?"

Along with Chris's roar, a terrifying magic power suddenly emerged from his body.

The portraits on the wall immediately closed their eyes and pretended to sleep, and even Phoenix Fox hid in the corner and covered his eyes with his wings.

As for Dumbledore, at this moment, as Chris's direct target, the pressure he is under is almost several times that of Phoenix Fox.

But he looked at Chris's scarlet eyes as if he didn't notice it at all.

After a long time, a line of turbid tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and he saw his dry lips gently open and close, choked and said:

"You've suffered, Tom, and I'm the one who's sorry for you."
