The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

"Is that just a little thing?" After listening to Jon's brief introduction, Principal Phineas Black said lazily: "Then I will take my leave and I will tell Dumbledore!"

Although the other party's attitude seemed cynical, Jon knew very well that the old Hogwarts headmaster from Slytherin was quite reliable.

"Thank you very much..."

Phineas Black didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, but made a very casual expression, and added: "By the way, for the sake of your politeness, I will tell you another piece of information..."

"...The latest news, in a cabin in eastern Siberia, Russian wizards found the body of Igor Karkarov, with the Dark Mark hanging above—" Phineas pouted: "Frankly Speaking of which, I am quite surprised that he was able to escape for so long!"

Karkaroff dead?

This is not surprising news. After all, when the mysterious man lost power, Igor Karkaroff betrayed all the Death Eaters he knew in order to clear him of his guilt.

Compared with the plot of the original book, Karkaroff's death seems to be a few months later, which is fully explained...

Just when Jon was frowning and guessing, Phineas' voice was heard again: "Dumbledore believes that Tom Riddle personally participated in the hunt for Igor Karkaroff..."

Voldemort personally participated in the hunt for Karkaroff?

Jon couldn't help but look lifted... If Voldemort was in remote Siberia during this time, it would not be so easy for him to get back to England in time; moreover, that also meant that his actions on the Isle of Man had to be done as soon as possible !

Just about to say thank you to Principal Phineas Black, Jon looked up and found that the figure in the portrait had disappeared.

"Did I just talk to you?" At this moment, Astoria Greengrass walked into the room with a smile on his face.

Ever since she left Greengrass Manor, her mood seemed to have come out of the shadow of her mother being caught in Azkaban, and the once pure smile was restored on her face; Nothing out of the ordinary.

"No!" Jon denied, glancing at the empty portrait on the wall.

Then he motioned for Astoria to come and sit on the bed, and at the same time suggested: "It's getting late, why don't you take a good rest... Tomorrow morning we'll go to the beach in Port Douglas!"

Astoria nodded obediently.

After a moment of silence, she asked softly, "What about you, Jon...you look like you're going out?"

"Yes!" Jon replied: "I'm going out for a stroll, you stay in the room and don't move around..."

"Then...then be careful..." Astoria lowered her head and murmured.

"Sure!" Jon smiled, and then took out a crystal bottle from his pocket, which was filled with the "smoke potion" he had prepared before.

At the same time, Jon warned: "If you encounter any trouble, smash this bottle, and I will come back immediately after seeing the smoke... Be careful, don't use any magic!"

After all, Astoria is an underage wizard, and she is not like herself, and her traces have disappeared... If she uses any magic outside of school, it is very likely that her position and even her intentions will be exposed.

So Jon had to tell her this.

"I understand..." Astoria whispered.

After settling in Astoria, Jon walked out of the hotel alone, while observing the surroundings seemingly inadvertently... He was looking for traces of magic.

If all goes well, it would be great to find traces of the giant before Voldemort returns to England!

...

Meanwhile, at Hogwarts.

With the chilly night air blowing against his face, Draco Malfoy walked carefully on a cobbled path, taking his steps as lightly as possible along the way.

At the end of this path is the junction of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade...

After the Dark Lord officially announced his return, the defense of Hogwarts became stricter... At least ten Aurors guarded the various exits of the campus, including Hogsmeade of course.

Malfoy wasn't going to sneak out of the campus in the dark, because he knew it was impossible...he couldn't fool Albus Dumbledore's magic, and he couldn't escape the guarding Aurors.

Pacing vigilantly on the cobblestone path, his real purpose is to wait for someone!

Even in such an emergency, there is someone who walks freely between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade... and that is Mrs. Rosmerta, the mistress of the Three Broomsticks.

She is responsible for providing the butter beer, mead and rum needed by the students and teachers on campus... This lady boss who still has a charm and is very popular, whether she is with Filch, the professors or the Aurors The relationship is very good; generally speaking, she will not be troubled when she enters the campus.

Moreover, the Three Broomsticks Bar has a long history with the Malfoy family... So as early as the summer vacation, Draco Malfoy found an opportunity to use the "Imperius Curse" on Mrs. Rosmerta.

But after using the spell, Malfoy didn't give her any instructions, so that she wouldn't show any strangeness.

...

As time passed by, Malfoy became a little impatient, and he even began to wonder if there was any deviation in his plan?

Finally...he saw a middle-aged woman with a graceful figure appearing from the end of the path.

Malfoy didn't go up to her rashly, but carefully looked around, and after finding nothing unexpected, he walked to her side——

"Master Draco..." Madam Rosmerta said with blank eyes and a blank face, "The bottle of oak-aged mead you want me to bring is produced in Grunwald and is of very high quality."

Malfoy took the bottle, looked it over carefully, and nodded.

Then, he carefully took out a package from his backpack, which contained a gorgeous opal necklace.

"When the Hogwarts students go to Hogsmeade tomorrow, give it to a random student and ask him to bring it to Headmaster Albus Dumbledore!" Malfoy instructed softly.

Mrs. Rosmerta nodded dully.

Then, stiffly, she tried to reach into the package for the opal necklace—

"Don't touch it!" Malfoy growled hastily, "Don't touch it...I mean, I forbid you to touch it!"

Madam Rosmerta nodded dully again.

...

Draco Malfoy heaved a sigh of relief seeing Madam Rosmerta going away.

Lifting the bottle of top-grade mead, he also began to tiptoe back to Hogwarts Castle.
