The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 503: A Fish Takes the Bait

Emily suddenly stopped what she was doing.

Link didn't pay attention to it at first, he was still enjoying Emily's knee pillow - just now Emily's massage and the occasional elegant aroma from his nose almost drove him to sleep.

It wasn't until Emily frowned and pinched his nose that Link opened his eyes.

"Link, do you feel that something is not right during this time?"

Of course Link knew what Emily was referring to, he closed his eyes again and said:

"Wouldn't it be better to relax a bit?"

Emily pinched Link's nose again in dissatisfaction and said:

"It's just because it's too leisurely that something is wrong!"

Link looked at Emily helplessly, and Emily, who saw that Link had finally become serious, broke her fingers and continued:

"Look, during this period of time, the M.O.M.H.L factory is running very well, the D.A. army's assembly is held week by week, and the smiles on the faces of the professors have increased. Even Umbridge's side has been quiet recently. It's amazing, and there is no more trouble at all.

Uh, of course, I'm not saying that if you have nothing to do, you have to hope for something to happen.

I just... just feel like there's something so wrong about this being a little peaceful. "

Link nodded slightly, and said calmly:

"I really don't know why Umbridge didn't make trouble, but the reason why other parts of Hogwarts are so calm is entirely because of Dumbledore's return."

"Even if Dumbledore is back... what!?" Emily suddenly noticed in the middle of speaking, lowered her volume and continued, "You said Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts? When did it happen? ?”

Link pouted and said:

"No one knows the exact date, but according to the time, it should be shortly after the end of the Christmas holiday."

Emily carefully arranged a shielding spell to ensure that Newland and Sceffen in the distance could not observe the situation here before saying:

"How do you know so clearly? Most people in Hogwarts, including me, don't know this news!"

Emily looked visibly agitated and excited at this moment.

As soon as she finished speaking, before Link could answer, she waved her hands repeatedly and said:

"Wait, let me guess...it's Professor Snape, right? Hasn't he been passing on information to us? He also told us about the Death Eaters attacking Azkaban last time." , so this time should be no exception, right?"

Hearing Emily mention Snape, Link's mood became a little depressed.

He shook his head and said:

"Not Professor Snape, but Hagrid."

"Hagrid?"

"That's right, it's Hagrid. Haven't you heard? Umbridge's charges against Hagrid about bringing giants into the Forbidden Forest privately and attempting to attack Hogwarts have all been overturned. Currently Hagrid is only He was only punished for probation, and had never been reviewed by the Ministry of Magic. Naturally, I would not intercede for him, so who in the whole country has such great power and is willing to help Hagrid? Isn't it obvious that he was exonerated?"

Link explained, "Of course, these were just my guesses. But when I visited him with a bottle of Flame Whiskey as a Highgren, the fact that Dumbledore had returned was completely confirmed.

You also know that once Hagrid drinks alcohol,

The mouth became something like a sieve, and it couldn't hide things at all. "

Emily's face was a little pale, she bit her finger and said:

"It shouldn't be! Link, do you think this news might be fake?

If Dumbledore really came back, Professor Snape would definitely know.

Since he already knew, why didn't he tell us? "

Hearing this, Link fell into silence.

He really didn't know how to answer Emily.

In fact, after Snape leaked the situation in Azkaban to him last time, he once felt that Snape was going to join their camp.

This made Link happy for a while.

After so many years of teacher-student friendship, Link still didn't want to use coercion on Snape if possible.

After all, twisted melons can also quench thirst, but they are not sweet after all.

But after Link thought about it for a period of time, he realized that Snape hadn't changed at all, he was still the old paranoid who was immersed in his first love and couldn't get out!

The information about Azkaban he handed over was of no value either.

Because by that time Voldemort and the Death Eaters' invasion of Azkaban had reached a stage where it was almost impossible to reverse even if Link intervened.

It was precisely because he knew that even if Link knew the information, he would not be able to affect his status among the Death Eaters, so he gave the information to Link so easily.

In fact, Link can roughly see it from such actions.

In Snape's mind, he and Emily were not that important.

At least not as important as Harry Potter.

The cruel truth Link didn't intend to tell Emily.

Unlike Link, Emily really liked Snape as a teacher, and even treated Snape like her father.

Link couldn't imagine how sad Emily would be when she learned the truth.

Just with Emily's ingenuity, how could she not discover anything?

Just looking at Link's silent appearance, Emily vaguely guessed something.

Her breathing suddenly became heavy, and her hands were tightly held together with Link. After a long silence between the two, Emily took the lead in changing the subject and said in a hoarse voice:

"Then tell me, Dumbledore, why did he hide the news that he has returned?

That doesn't make sense at all, he's Dumbledore. "

Link hugged Emily with some distress, and explained directly:

"He is trying to create the illusion that he has been away from Hogwarts for a long time, so as to attract some people with ulterior motives to come out.

If you insist on describing it, his behavior is like fishing.

Deliberately drop a piece of bait and then keep quiet.

If a fish really takes the bait, he will use all his strength to throw it ashore, and finally take it home and eat it. "

"I'm afraid we are also the target he wants to fish ashore?"

Emily said coldly.

Hearing this, Link smiled lightly and said:

"Of course he wanted to catch us, but our fish wouldn't take the bait.

You know, we've been very honest recently.

How can you catch a fish that has completely sank to the bottom of the lake in a silent state with just a fishing rod? "

Emily finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the expression on her face was still not very good-looking.

Seeing this, Link got up and said:

"It's getting late, and it's time for us to go back to the M.O.M.H.L factory for a rest.

This is also for the good of Newland and Sceffen. With the two of us here, they probably don't have the heart to study. "

Emily was a little shy at first.

Because a special office in the M.O.M.H.L factory is the third bedroom for the two of them besides their respective college dorms.

When Link said that he would go back to the M.O.M.H.L factory with her to rest tonight, it was almost not a hint, but an explicit statement.

However, Emily was taken aback when she heard Link mention Newland and Sceffen again.

She pushed Link away in a panic, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the library area.

Sure enough, although Newland and Sceffen were shielded by the shielding spell, they still glanced this way from time to time.

"Ah! Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Emily beat Link angrily, and Link didn't run away, and directly hugged Emily into his arms with his backhand and said:

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, there is a shielding spell, so they can't see anything, and they can't hear anything."

The two left the Room of Response while fighting and fighting, and then gradually subsided.

Link stared at Emily's flushed face under the light of the torch, and his mood finally improved.

With such a noisy and beautiful life, Link feels that he should still be able to live for a long time.

After all, Dumbledore's fishing skills are really not very good.

The nests made are not fat at all.

There should be no one who can't see through such a rough layout and such an obvious intention, and jumps out in a hurry, right?

Link grinned, looking at the moon outside the window and sincerely hoped that Dumbledore would never catch a fish.

However, things like wishing on the moon are not very reliable after all.

Especially as a time traveler, Link still upholds the common belief concepts of the nation he lived in in his previous life-seeing Buddhas and worshiping Buddhas, seeing gods and worshiping gods. Believe in everything on the surface, but believe in nothing in your bones.

Ever since, it may be that Link is not devout enough.

When Link and Emily came to the auditorium the next morning, they were surprised to find that there was already a large circle of people around the sign.

This gave Link, whose mental power was so strong that he had almost formed a sixth sense, a bad premonition.

"Link! Come here!"

John's familiar voice sounded from the front.

More and more people have discovered the existence of Link and Emily because of this call.

The originally gathered crowd dispersed spontaneously, making way for Link and Emily to go straight to the sign.

Link stepped forward helplessly and took a few steps before he realized that the billboard, which was originally messy and covered with various small advertisements, had been cleaned up at this moment.

All that remained was an exceptionally large piece of parchment.

It clearly says:

Hogwarts High Inquisitor Order

Due to the increasingly busy Hogwarts investigation,

Starting today, the formation of a student inspection team dedicated to assisting Hogwarts senior investigators in the investigation work begins.

Members of the inspection team will get extra points in the NEWT exam, and have the priority to enter the Auror Command for internship.

Note: Interested participants please arrive at the Defense Against the Dark Arts office before the end of next month to register.

The above regulations are in line with the Education Decree No. 24.

sign:

senior investigator

Dolores Jane Umbridge

"This notice is not only posted here, but also in the common rooms of various colleges."

John whispered in Link's ear, "But there shouldn't be too many people responding, after all, Umbridge's reputation is already rotten."

After finishing speaking, John pointed to the surrounding crowd with his chin.

Link looked around, and as expected, almost everyone's face was full of sarcasm.

Some even chanted 'Fuck Umbridge' outright.

Obviously, under Link's continuous and powerful publicity, and Umbridge's own continuous death, Umbridge's reputation in Hogwarts has reached a bottom.

However, even though John has been observing here for a long time, what John sees is still too superficial.

Under the effect of Legilimency, Link can easily see that many people here are thinking about going to Umbridge's office to learn more about the treatment of the inspection team after a while.

The reason why he stays here and scolds Umbridge hypocritically is just because he can't save face.

This situation was also expected by Link.

After all, the image of good treatment established by Auror over the past ten years has already penetrated into the hearts of every little wizard.

Compared with the substantive benefits of being able to join the Auror army first, simple likes and dislikes become unimportant.

From the current point of view, Umbridge's hand is indeed beautiful.

If the inspection team plan can be carried out smoothly, Umbridge might not be able to divide the originally united students collectively, thus forming a situation of relying on strength to fight strength.

But the problem is, Dumbledore is in Hogwarts right now!

How could he have allowed Umbridge to disrupt Hogwarts, which he had run for decades?

Umbridge bit directly on Dumbledore's hook!

"Tsk, a fish has been baited, and it looks like our leisurely days are coming to an end!"

After speaking, Link sighed and rubbed his waist.

Last night, because he wanted to comfort Emily, Link was busy until midnight.

Now being treated like this again, Link instantly felt more pain in his waist.

Emily on the side blushed when she saw this, and secretly pinched Link, which made Link stop rubbing his waist.

And at this moment, a group of students wearing armbands suddenly walked over.

They violently pushed away the crowded crowd and rushed towards the notice board.

The few strong senior Gryffindors in the crowd were also really reckless, and they were not at all used to seeing this, and directly blocked them.

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, the people around were all excited.

In fact, they also saw that this group of guys who looked like volunteers had been upset for a long time, but they just swallowed their anger because of the school rules.

But now it's best if someone is willing to be the first bird.

When things get really messy, it's also good to go up and kick and punch to vent your anger.

Anyway, the law does not blame the public is also established in the wizarding society.

What these people didn't expect was that those Gryffindors had just appeared, and before they even had time to say a few harsh words, a volunteer had already pulled out his wand and pressed it against his chest.

"We are Hogwarts senior investigators—Ms. Umbridge's inspection team. We have the right to investigate independently and use spells. Are you sure you want to fight us?"

The volunteer holding the wand, or the inspector, narrowed his eyes and said quietly.
