Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Chapter 66 The Situation Turned Suddenly, The Incident Fermented

In the classroom of the Dueling Club, Clark finished his speech.

The lazy expressions on the faces of the little wizards present have completely disappeared, and they began to cheer up and concentrate on listening to Clark's lecture.

However, at this moment, the door of the classroom was pushed open vigorously with a "bang".

The wooden door slammed against the wall, and Ron ran in with a panicked expression.

"Clark, it's not good! Hermione... Hermione..."

"What's wrong with Hermione?" Clark hurried to Ron, reaching out to support him.

"Hermione has been attacked!"

The entire classroom was in chaos in an instant.

...

On the corridor leading to the school hospital, the sound of hurried footsteps came from far to near.

Under the leadership of Ron, Clark trotted all the way to the ward, and Neville followed closely behind.

They pushed the door open, and as soon as they walked in, they saw Madam Pomfrey bending over a girl with long brown curly hair. It was Hermione Granger.

"Hermione!"

Clark exclaimed, even though he had already heard the news from Ron, seeing such a scene at this moment, he still couldn't help swallowing even more.

Hermione lay there motionless, her eyes, which were originally big and full of spirituality, now only remained dull, and a trace of fear.

"She was found near the library."

Professor McGonagall, who was standing next to Hermione, said to them, "I don't think any of you can explain this? It was found on the floor beside her..."

Professor McGonagall held up a small round mirror.

"Hermione usually doesn't wear makeup, so she should keep this mirror with her so she can observe the corners." Clark said while suppressing his sadness, but his eyes were still fixed on Hermione.

"This damn murderer, I must catch him!"

Professor McGonagall's heart is also very heavy,

"Enough, Clark, this is our job..."

Before she finished speaking, she looked at Hermione who was lying there motionless, and sighed again.

"Forget it, I'll escort you back to Gryffindor Tower, anyway, I'm going to address the students anyway."

With that said, she pulled away Clark who was in grief.

"All students must return to the common room of their college before six o'clock in the evening."

In the Gryffindor common room, a large group of students huddled together, listening to Professor McGonagall's speech in silence.

"No student is allowed to leave the dormitory after this time.

Each class will need to be escorted by a teacher.

No student shall use the restroom without the presence of a teacher.

All Quidditch practices and matches are postponed.

No activities can be carried out at night. "

Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment document she had just read, and said in a somewhat stifled voice.

"Actually, needless to say, you should have already guessed that if this matter continues like this, then the school is likely to be closed unless the criminals who planned these attacks are caught.

So I urge everyone who thinks they know something to come forward. "

She crawled awkwardly through the portrait hole, and the Gryffindors were immediately chirping.

"A Gryffindor student has already fallen. It's too scary. That monster will attack the wizard!"

"I don't want to stay in such a dangerous place anymore, I want to go home."

Lee Jordan, a friend of the Weasley twins, even raised his arms and shouted: "Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, Slytherin's heir, Slytherin's monster—why don't they just put all the Slytherins in the house?" How about getting out?"

The audience nodded frequently and there were sparse applause.

On the side, Percy Weasley sat in the chair next to Lee Jordan, and for the first time in his life, he seemed not eager to express his views.

His face looked serious.

"Ginny, you will come with me from now on, you are not allowed to act independently."

Ignoring the pouting Ginny, he looked at George and Fred again, "You two...forget it, you two are smart enough, you should be fine."

Finally, he looked at Ron and Clark, "Clark, Ron will take care of you."

At this moment, he really looked like an older brother.

After arranging his younger siblings, he pulled Clark aside again.

"Clark, what about the school magazine? A child has already had an accident. We may not be able to suppress this matter."

Clark didn't hesitate, his eyes were red, as if he had just finished crying.

"Hermione has been attacked, why am I still helping the school? Hurry up and get ready to work overtime, add a special issue, and report on the Chamber of Secrets."

"But Headmaster Dumbledore?" Percy said with a worried look on his face.

"So this matter is up to you!"

Of course, Clark wouldn't expose this matter by himself. He's going to trick the school trustees in the future. If he writes this report by himself, it's hard to guarantee that those people won't think too much.

"Huh?" Percy's eyes widened when he heard Clark's words, thinking that this cousin was trying to kill him.

However, Clark saw his thoughts at a glance, and directly persuaded: "You are about to graduate and leave school soon, and you are going to go to the Ministry of Magic next, right, Percy."

Percy nodded.

"In this case, a reputation is more useful than any resume, isn't it? This is an opportunity to be the first to report on the events in the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets.

If I'm not wrong, Principal Dumbledore will definitely find me tomorrow, trying to suppress this matter.

And you will become a hero who resists the power and exposes the truth. "

The expression on Percy's face loosened, "But this thing is right..."

"You have to understand politics. Today's Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, was supported by Principal Dumbledore, but it is precisely because of this that he resents and fears Principal Dumbledore in his heart.

After all, there have always been voices saying that Principal Dumbledore is the most suitable candidate for the Minister of Magic. Cornelius Fudge can be helped up, and Dumbledore can also be brought down.

And a Hogwarts student who has just graduated and is not standing with Dumbledore is naturally easier to get into his sight, isn't it? "

This sentence completely convinced Percy. He nodded and said nothing. He just rushed out a manuscript overnight.

The next day, this manuscript was published in the newly issued "Hogwarts School Journal", and spread to thousands of households in the wizarding world along with the owls.

The Slytherin Chamber of Secrets and the monster attacking the students were known to all the wizards in an instant.

In the early morning, when Clark and Neville came to the auditorium together, the letters from the parents of the students were thrown onto the teacher's bench by owls like snowflakes.

Harry watched the situation with a sad face, and he suddenly realized that if the criminal was not caught soon, he would go back to the Dursleys for the rest of his life.

On the other hand, Ron complained loudly to Percy, "How could you do that? Because of your article, Professor Dumbledore will be kicked out of school!"

On the cover of the "Hogwarts School Magazine" he was waving in his hand, there was a big headline "Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?" Crisis at Hogwarts! "

Percy, who was eating seafood porridge, plunked his spoon into the bowl at his words.

"Why can't I do it? Isn't everything I said true?"

He also happened to have a "Hogwarts School Journal" at hand, Percy turned to the side where his own article was printed, and read it without any scruples.

"The Chamber of Secrets incident at Hogwarts, in the final analysis, was caused by the school's poor management. When danger emerged, it did not attract high attention, which led to a safety accident.

When the Chamber of Secrets incident occurred, the school should conduct a comprehensive investigation of Hogwarts to find out the hidden dangers in the campus, and at the same time take the initiative to report to the Ministry of Magic and bring in the help of external forces.

When necessary, for the sake of the safety of students, conservative measures such as suspending classes and closing schools can even be implemented, and the school will be reopened after the problem is completely resolved.

Instead of putting the students in danger and worrying all day long, something that no one wants to see happens in the end.

Sending their children to Hogwarts is a sign of trust in the school, and the school should ensure the safety of the children.

Although no more serious safety accidents have occurred at present, the school's inaction and blindly covering up the facts still need to bear the responsibility for dereliction of duty.

And once again, the author also urges the school to handle it properly immediately, resolve this safety accident as soon as possible, and give students a safe campus life. "

After reading his newspaper, the little wizards around frowned, but no one stood up to accuse him.

First of all, what Percy wrote is indeed reasonable, and the solution is very appropriate, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Secondly, considering their own safety, the little wizards faintly agreed with Percy's statement in their hearts, but they were too embarrassed to say it.

Ron was rendered speechless by Percy's rebuttal, and in the end he could only murmur stubbornly: "That can't be at this time, you are adding insult to injury, betrayal..."

Percy ignored him, and George and Fred, who also worked in the school magazine, also smoothed things over.

"This article has been approved by all our magazines. After all, it is a news media, so we have to consider credibility.

Things have become so big, if we pretend that nothing happened and don’t report anything, will the students still believe us in the future? "

Clark also said at this time: "Yes, Percy's manuscript was first shown to me, and I agreed."

Ron could only sit down reluctantly, and Clark leaned into Harry's ear again, and asked softly, "Do you think they will suspect Hagrid? He has a criminal record."

Harry made up his mind immediately.

"I can't care about that much anymore. We went to find him at night. Although we don't believe that he did this incident, but since the incident in the secret room was related to him last time, he must know something. This may be a breakthrough point. "

"But Professor McGonagall said that we have to stay in the tower unless we go to the classroom, let alone at night, which is too dangerous." Ron was a little worried.

"I think." As a reckless Gryffindor, Harry didn't care much about these rules, but there were other students around, so he lowered his voice.

"It's time to bring out my father's old cloak again."

Clark nodded too.

But after breakfast, he had to separate from Harry and the others. Professor McGonagall brought a message, and Headmaster Dumbledore wanted to see him.

When Percy heard the news, he looked at Clark worriedly, but Clark gave him a reassuring look.

It was still the principal's office. When Clark opened the wooden door and walked in, Principal Dumbledore was not the only one in the room.

Elijah Yaxley, Theodore Abbott, and Darren Bock, representatives of Hogwarts' school board, were all sitting in the headmaster's office.

Among them, except Elijah Yaxley who still maintained a calm and gentlemanly demeanor, the other two were already restless.

As soon as the two of them saw Clark walking in, they stood up immediately.

"Our Burke family is going to launch a dragon farm project." Darren Burke's first sentence was this, and Clark could hear a trace of schadenfreude in his tone.

Obviously, there were twists and turns in the project of the dragon farm, which made him secretly happy.

And Theodore Aibo, who followed him up, also expressed the same meaning. Not only that, he also brought the opinions of several school directors, and they all wanted to withdraw from the project.

"We have read all the news in the newspaper. Now is a sensitive time. If the matter is not resolved, even if the dragon farm is built, it will have no effect."

Theodore Aibo's words can be said to be the concerns of all school managers. They have invested real money, and they don't want to reap an unfinished project.

Principal Dumbledore sat aside, playing with his fingers intently, as if the matter in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Facing this situation, Clark didn't rush. He pulled up a chair and sat down, as if sitting on a throne, looking down at his subjects.

Theodore Abbott and Darren Burke averted their eyes guiltyly under his gaze with [Shock] ability, but Elijah Yaxley was still like an old-fashioned gentleman, Looking at him with a smile on his face.

Only then did Clark slowly utter a word.

"The contract is magical."

Yes, this is the magical world. The contracts he signed with the twelve school management families back then were not only protected by the laws of the Ministry of Magic, but also protected by magic based on the magic power of the twelve people.

It was a magic contract ceremony similar to the Fidelity Curse. Anyone who wanted to violate the contract would be backlashed by magic, causing their own magic riots, depriving them of their status as wizards, and becoming a squib.

The faces of Theodore Abbott and Darren Bock turned blue and white, and it was all because of their family's desire for profit. Besides, they were at Hogwarts, so they never thought that such an unexpected situation would happen today.
