Hogwarts Card Drawer

"Why doesn't she go and investigate it herself?" Kronos refused very dissatisfied.

"She is the senior investigator of Hogwarts, Master Chronos." Mr. Filch hastened a few steps to follow behind Chronos' butt.

"So?" Kronos said lazily without looking back.

"So she may not have time to deal with these problems!"

"Heh...heh..." Kronos sneered.

They turned around the corner of the corridor in front together, and the originally quiet atmosphere suddenly became noisy. It's Fred and George demonstrating the latest addition to their joke shop.

"Toque!" George yelled, and Fred waved a pointed hat trimmed with pink feathers. "Two Galleons apiece, please see."

Fred grinned and put the hat on his head, looking silly for a split second, and then the hat and head disappeared.

Several girls screamed, and the others roared with laughter.

"Hats off!" cried George, and Fred groped his shoulders pretendingly for a moment. His head reappeared, and the pink feather hat was removed.

"The Weasley brothers are definitely good at magic." Chronos was also distracted, observing Fred and George carefully, "Obviously it's an invisibility spell, but they extended the invisibility area to the magical object It's pretty smart too...but I don't think the magic will last long."

"Do you want to stop them?" Mr. Filch asked respectfully behind Chronos, "According to the decree of Professor Dolores Umbridge, who has been checked by the senior Hogwarts, no one is allowed to The use of Weasleys in Hogwarts Castle..."

But before he could finish speaking, Kronos interrupted him mercilessly. "Put away your extremely boring rhetoric! If Hogwarts handed in according to the Ministry of Magic's standards, I'm afraid those who handed in are fools who can only pass the exam."

"But..." Mr. Filch was still unwilling. He still liked this decree very much, and he didn't like others to cast magic in front of him very much.

"You have to think clearly. So far, no one has been able to take the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for the second year." After Kronos finished speaking, he ignored Mr. Filch and went back to the Slytherin public. The lounge has gone, and he still has a mountain of homework waiting for him!

Early the next morning,

Chronos entered the auditorium as usual to enjoy his breakfast. But the atmosphere in the auditorium made Kronos feel a little strange.

He looked towards the staff table, and there was a different scene. Kronos finally saw Professor Dumbledore for the first time since the beginning of school. He looked a lot haggard, and under the half-moon-shaped lenses, the dark circles under his eyes were much thicker.

At this moment, Professor Dumbledore is talking closely with Professor McGonagall, and both of them have extremely serious faces. On the other end, Professor Sprout leaned the "Daily Prophet" against the bottle of ketchup and read the first page intently, holding the spoon in the air, not even noticing that the egg yolk in the spoon dripped onto his lap .

Professor Umbridge, sitting at the top of the table, was the strangest. She was gulping down her porridge, and for the first time her toad eyes were not searching the hall for misbehaving students. He ate with a frown, casting vicious glances at Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall from time to time.

"What's the matter?" Kronos muttered and sat opposite Daphne, and she buried her head deeply in today's morning paper.

"Uh, my God..." Daphne screamed, but she couldn't help but put down the newspaper in her hand.

"What's the matter? What a fuss." Kronos asked.

"...It's terrible." Daphne folded the tenth edition and handed it to Chronos.

"Many people in Azkaban have escaped from prison, and the Ministry of Magic is worried that there are still fugitive Death Eaters calling them."

"Death Eaters? Hehe..." Kronos sneered, "I'm afraid the Death Eaters didn't escape in large numbers, but slipped out one by one until there was no one left in Azkaban. Minister Fudge only found out!"

"Hush!" Daphne looked worriedly at Professor Umbridge's position, "It's not this version, it's here." Daphne carefully pointed at Chronos with her hand.

"The tragic death of a staff member of the Ministry of Magic

Ministry of Magic employee Broderick Byrd, number 49, was found dead in his hospital bed last night, having been strangled to death by a potted plant.

St. Mungo's Hospital has promised to conduct a full investigation. At that time, medical personnel had already arrived at the scene, but they still could not save Byrd. The deceased had been admitted to the hospital a few weeks earlier due to a work-related injury.

Physician Meliam Strout, head of Byrd's ward, was suspended with pay yesterday and declined to comment. But a spokesperson for the hospital stated:

‘St Mungo’s Hospital deeply regrets the death of Byrd, whose health was steadily recovering prior to this tragic event.

We have strict rules about the decorations in the ward, but the healer Strout was busy with Christmas business at the time, and ignored the danger of the potted plant by Bird's bed.

With Byrd's speech and behavior recovering, Strout encouraged him to tend the plant himself, unaware that it was not an innocent flyflower but a section cut from a devil's trap, So when Byrd, who was gradually recovering, touched it, he was immediately strangled to death mercilessly. '

St. Mungo's Hospital still cannot explain why the plant is in the ward and is now asking any wizards in the know for clues. "

"Bode..." Kronos said, "Bode, it sounds familiar."

"You should have seen him." Daphne whispered, "He was also the recipient of the Medal of the Order of Merlin at the ceremony of the Order of Merlin."

"At the end of 1995, he was wounded by Death Eaters during the hunt for Death Eaters. Bode lost his ability to speak and his mind became abnormal. He always thought he was a teapot," Daphne said.

"So, you want to say that Bode's death was not that simple?" Kronos took a bite of oatmeal.

"Don't you think these two pieces of news together are terrible?" Daphne was no longer in the mood to eat, "The Death Eaters just escaped from prison, and Bode, who participated in the siege of Death Eaters, died strangely in the hospital. "

"Hmm." Kronos nodded, "There is a certain possibility of what you said, but I think it is really possible that he was strangled to death by the devil's vine. After all, you also said that he is out of his mind. So good, he always thought he was a teapot."
