Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter two hundred and four people panic

"Hermione, are you... okay?"

As a friend, Harry felt that he needed to care about Hermione. Her current state was obviously abnormal.

"It's okay." Hermione shook her head, the hollow in her eyes disappeared, and she regained a bit of agility. Seeing this, Harry couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something else, Hermione slapped the newspaper on the

He stood on the table, pointed to the corner of the fourth page and said: "I think we should focus on this..."

"What? I haven't seen it yet..." Harry came closer and read word by word, "The Ministry of Magic employee died violently... Broderick Bird died?"

"Balde? Who is that?" Ron asked.

"We met him at St. Mungo's, remember?" Hermione whispered, "In the ward where Neville's parents were, he kept lying and looking at the ceiling. We also saw the potted plant on his bedside table, and we thought

It's a crab claw orchid. After all, no one would have thought it could be a devil's net..."

"Devil's Net... Damn it, we should be able to recognize him. We've seen him before... He didn't have to die." Ron said with some annoyance.

"There is no doubt that this was murder, a very clever murder," said Hermione.

As Harry listened to the conversation between the two, he recalled in his mind the day he went to the Ministry of Magic for trial. He had seen this man when he went down the elevator to the ninth floor.

"I met Bode, with your father at the Ministry of Magic, the day I was tried..." Harry said slowly. After hearing this, Ron thought about it and immediately exclaimed, "I remember! I listened to my father at home.

Get over him!"

"He's a silent man who works in the Department of Mysteries!"

"Department of Mysteries, where is that?" Harry asked.

Hermione rolled her eyes when she heard this, stood up the newspaper to block a few people, and whispered: "The Department of Mysteries is the most mysterious place in the Ministry of Magic. The people who work there are the Silent People, and the things they study are all

Top secret!"

"Remember where Mr. Weasley was attacked?"

"I remember...it was the Department of Mysteries!" Harry suddenly remembered what they overheard at St. Mungo's.

"Yes, obviously, this should be... done by the mysterious man and the others. There is something he wants there... but what exactly does he want?" As she spoke, Hermione suddenly fell into deep thought, her hands unconscious.

He was stroking the pendant on his chest and muttering something unknown.

Seeing this, Harry and Ron looked at each other, shrugged, and returned their attention to the food in front of them. They were used to it. Hermione was like this when she was thinking about things this semester. It would just take a while.

.

Before they could take a few bites, Hagrid saw Hagrid walk in from the door. He went to the professor's chair and spoke to Dumbledore for a few words before leaving. Seeing this, Harry and Ron ran over and called out.

When Hagrid walked in, he discovered that several new wounds had been added to Hagrid's face before they were completely healed.

"Hello." Hagrid wanted to smile, but it hurt the wounds on his face.

"Are you okay?" Harry stepped aside to let a few Hufflepuff students out of the way, his face full of worry.

"It's okay, very good." Hagrid's expression looked very unnatural, "It's just that he's very busy, you know... preparing lessons, attending classes, and was kept on probation..."

"Keep it for inspection!"

"Yes." Hagrid sighed and said, "This is to be expected. The results of the last investigation were not very good... Forget it, I still have things to do. Goodbye, Harry, Ron...

"

Watching Hagrid leave, Harry felt that there must be a lot of things he hadn't said yet, and it wasn't like good news.

In the next few days, everyone was talking about Ekko's attack on Azkaban and rescuing a dozen Death Eaters. All kinds of unreliable speculations came out. It was also said that Ekko wanted to

He became the new generation of Dark Lord, so he rescued those Death Eaters. Some said they had seen those people in Hogsmeade, and some even speculated that they were hiding in the Shrieking Shack, just like Sirius back then.

Rumors spread, and people were panicked for a while, especially those who grew up in wizarding families. Their previous generation or even the two previous generations had experienced that dark time, and some of them had relatives who died.

In the hands of those escaped Death Eaters. This kind of news could not be hidden at all. Within a few days, everyone knew who had such an experience.

Undoubtedly, this caused them great pain.

The same pain is felt by the Little Eagles, especially Stewart and others who are in the same grade as Ike. They have completely become the center of attention. Wherever they go, a large group of people will secretly look at them and say some irrelevant things. Some say that they are

Some of Ike's spies at Hogwarts also said that they were lackeys. In short, they were not nice words, but they were all very unpleasant.

Faced with such looks and comments, Stewart could not hold back several times, but Terry and the others stopped him every time.

"I'm going to give him a good beating when I see him again!"

"When the time comes, count me alone. Even if we put together we can't beat him..."

Thinking of this, Stuart and the others couldn't help but feel depressed. Looking at the people who looked at them with strange eyes, they couldn't help but feel pity in their hearts: These people had no idea that if it was really as what the newspaper said, it would be like this.

What a terrible thing...

Gradually, I don’t know when, the content of people’s discussions changed. Someone collected the Daily Prophet for more than half a year, studied it carefully, and believed that the Ministry of Magic has been lying. This argument quickly gained a lot of attention.

approved and spread throughout the school.

So, why did the Ministry of Magic lie? People quickly realized that what Harry and Dumbledore had been telling since last year was true - Voldemort was back!

As a result, panic set in, and people became even more panic-stricken. However, Stuart and the others were in a much better situation, and almost no one looked at them strangely anymore.

Just when everyone thought that life would not get worse, they discovered that they had thought too simplistically. After canceling a large number of clubs, associations, societies, and visiting professors, and only reading Defense Against the Dark Arts books, Umbridge

Depriving them of the right to talk freely about things. Although "Education Order No. 26" only prohibits professors from telling students information that is irrelevant to the courses they teach, in fact, even discussion among students is prohibited.

In just a few days, Umbridge indiscriminately arrested several students who were whispering in the corridor, even if they were just arguing about such a nutritious issue as whether mutton or beef was better.

They were all put in solitary confinement. A few days later, a few more unlucky ones with bloody arms appeared.

Harry and the others escaped, but Umbridge didn't seem to pay attention to him recently. She frequently appeared in Care of Magical Creatures and Divination classes, and she seemed to be weighing which one to expel.

Show her authority.

"An outstanding little wizard went astray due to poor education, causing this incident with extremely negative consequences..." What Fudge said in the interview undoubtedly gave Umbridge confidence.

Made her even crazier.
