Hiding in Hogwarts as a professor

Stubbornly, he took a bite of the small cake. Before he could swallow it, Tver was pulled up by Dumbledore, climbed the stairs together, and strode to the third floor.

The place was already crowded with young wizards watching the show. Percy stood at the front and tried to maintain order, but the effect was not as effective as Dumbledore’s face.

The appearance of the professors immediately separated the students and allowed Tver to see Harry, Ron and Hermione standing in the middle of the corridor.

The three of them looked at Dumbledore at a loss. The little wizards around them obviously did not dare to approach them. They looked particularly conspicuous and helpless.

Beside them, a cat hung from the base of a torch stand.

It was hanging motionless, and its body looked very stiff. To put it mildly, even if it was dead, it would not become so stiff so quickly.

Tver knew that this was Mrs. Norris without Filch’s reminder.

On the wall one foot high from the ground, there were red writings painted on it, which shimmered under the light of burning torches.

The secret room was opened.

Be wary of those who are enemies of the heir.

Filch was still yelling there, but Dumbledore quickly stopped him and untied Mrs. Norris.

“Professor, I…we don’t.” Harry stammered to explain to Twil.

Tver did not speak, but gave them a gentle smile, which made them feel a little more at ease.

“It’s you!” Filch pointed at them and yelled, “Who else could it be besides you?”

“Filch,” Dumbledore raised his voice, “come with me, including the three of you.”

His blue eyes glanced around, and finally paused on Harry before turning to look at everyone.

There are not many rooms on the third floor. The most conspicuous one is the office of the two Defense Against the Dark Arts practitioners, but Tver is not interested in taking a group of people to visit his office.

Fortunately, there was Lockhart, so it was not his turn to perform in this situation.

“Headmaster, go to my office!” Lockhart straightened his clothes and said loudly.

So the stronger team followed Dumbledore again.

Only Professor Flitwick stayed to maintain order, calm the panicked or overly excited little wizards, and drive them back to the lounge.

After entering the office, Lockhart neatly cleared the table and lit the candle inside.

Dumbledore put Mrs. Norris on the smooth desk without hesitation, and he and Professor McGonagall leaned down and looked at the stiff cat.

His crooked aquiline nose almost touched Mrs. Norris’s hair. His blue eyes looked at it through half-moon lenses, and his long fingers gently poked here and there.

Professor McGonagall’s movements were similar, but the confusion in her eyes was even greater.

Tver stood behind them, also quietly sizing up Mrs. Norris, trying to find out the secret of the basilisk’s deathly look.

Snape folded his arms, his whole body in the shadow of the office, the faint firelight shone on his sneering face, and his cold eyes lingered between Harry and Tweel.

The three Harrys were frightened by this look, and their hearts that had just been relaxed suddenly rose again, and their buttocks sitting on the stools twisted uncomfortably.

Lockhart began to show off his ignorance.

“I bet the cat is dead—”

“It is not dead, but has been infected by very deep black magic and is in a petrified state.” Dumbledore straightened up, “I need your help, Tweel.”

Looking at the old man’s invitation, Tver nodded.

He did not check again, but immediately took out his wand and tapped Mrs. Norris’s stiff body.

In an instant, a plume of black smoke came out from the place where it was touched. It was very subtle, but it was clearly captured by everyone.

The black smoke floated in the air and circled around, then returned to Maomao’s body.

“This is?” Professor McGonagall, who has the least research on dark magic, asked.

“This is analysis. The essence of magic is analyzed through the remaining magic power, and then displayed in a concrete way.” Dumbledore said with emotion.

Being able to do this, although it is against black magic, also means that Tver has gradually approached the essence of magic.

This is what it took him decades to reach, and Tver is only eighteen years old now!

“What does that mean?” Filch asked anxiously.

“This means that unless a specific method is used to remove it, this black magic will continue to exert its influence, such as-”

Tver waved his wand again, outputting a small amount of magic power and life force.

But this time, Mrs. Norris’s feet suddenly lifted up, which made Filch look happy.

But it only lasted less than a second, and the little feet

It fell again.

“Even if I temporarily eliminate part of the power of the magic, I can’t stop the magic from continuing to take effect.”

“Then… what should we do about this?” He looked at Dumbledore and Tweel for help with a sad face.

Dumbledore said with relief, “Don’t worry. Once the mandrake cultivated by Professor Sprout matures, a potion can be prepared to treat petrification, and Mrs. Norris will be able to recover by then.”

“But the question is, why was this cat turned to stone?” Snape sneered and walked out of the shadows.

“Ask them!” Filch pointed his hand at the three Harrys again.

Snape was satisfied with his cooperation and immediately turned his firepower to focus on Harry and the others.

But Tver was no longer interested in listening.

He was thinking about what he had just discovered – the basilisk’s ability to cause death is very overbearing!

Some characteristics of magical creatures can be understood as their exclusive magic, and the Basilisk’s exclusive magic is to achieve the effect of death through staring at each other.

This ability is similar to rules. If it were not necessary to look at each other, Tver would definitely stay as far away from the basilisk as possible.

Because as of now, even he can’t resist the basilisk’s eyes.

However, under the restriction of having to look at each other, the basilisk was too weak in his eyes.

The Iron Armor Curse Badge alone is enough to ensure that the students will not be affected by the fatal effect.

This means that he can wait for the basilisk to wreak havoc in the castle, wait for Dumbledore to be removed from office, wait for the plot to develop step by step, and then use it!

When Tweel came back from his thoughts, the professors’ interrogation of Harry and the others ended.

With their hesitating looks, even Lockhart could tell that they were not telling the truth, so Dumbledore had no intention of letting Snape ask further.

“You guys should go back quickly.”

The trio breathed a sigh of relief and left the office as if they were running away.

“They are lying!” Snape said immediately.

Professor McGonagall sighed.

How can students from my own college do so well?

“No matter what, as long as there is no evidence to prove their guilt, there is no right to punish them.”

“Actually, I think it’s probably just your attitude that scared them, preventing them from saying something that might have suspicions about them.”

“Since they don’t want to say it, there’s no point in asking,” Dumbledore said calmly, “What’s your opinion, Turville? I see you’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”

Everyone’s eyes immediately turned to Tweel. Lockhart tried to puff out his chest to attract attention, but obviously no one would pay attention to him.

“I care more about whether this attack is an isolated incident or the beginning of a series of attacks? If the murderer attacks a second time, how can we protect students from more serious harm?”

Tver can only use this method to remind professors and students to pay attention to safety.

Everyone immediately realized this terrible possibility. They did not dare to bet that this time it was just an accident, or that the attacker only attacked cats.

The expressions of Dumbledore and Snape became much more serious, and Professor McGonagall took a deep breath of air.

“Pay attention to the safety of the children,” she said solemnly, “We can no longer indulge the students, especially the two Weasley children, we must keep an eye on them!”
