Chapter 398
With the efforts of several professors and the headmaster, the two groups were finally separated.
The injured and unconscious were sent to the school infirmary by Professor Flitwick, while the others were detained.
Professor McGonagall regretted coming out with them. She looked around and was even more troubled when she didn't see Snape.
Recently, Snape didn't know what had happened. He stayed at home and his whereabouts were erratic.
Except when he could see him at meals, he could never see him at other times. He also smelled of medicine.
At this time, Katerina and Karkaroff also learned about the incident from their respective students.
Karkaroff's face sank early, and after listening to it, he looked at Costorius's students with disgust without disguising it.
Other headmasters came over one after another, and when they found that there was nothing wrong with their students, they were also happy to stand aside and watch the show.
This Hogwarts is indeed a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. They didn't have so much fun in school before.
The students were all in class peacefully, without any disturbance.
It has only been a short time since they came here, and they have encountered two or three large-scale group fights. It is really too exciting.
Feeling their playful eyes, Karkaroff knew that if he didn't handle it well today, Durmstrang's reputation would be greatly reduced.
"Principal Katerina, let your students apologize and give appropriate compensation, and this matter will be over."
"That's right." Malfoy shouted. He didn't know who slapped him just now. The right side of his face was swollen and his speech was unclear.
"If you don't apologize, I'll tell my dad!"
Several Slytherin students also shouted, but Professor McGonagall didn't stop them. Instead, she came to Wayne and whispered:
"Who started it first?"
Wayne pretended to be dumb and shook his head: "I don't know. We started fighting and I couldn't stop him."
Damocles rolled his eyes crazily.
Did you stop?
Why did I hear you cheering crazily on the side.
Professor McGonagall saw the old man's expression and guessed something. She pointed at Wayne unhappily.
She was so stupid. How could she expect Lawrence to be reliable at this time.
This guy is also a person who likes to watch the fun.
"Professor Karkaroff, I don't think this is a big deal?" The students quarreled for a while, and Katerina finally spoke.
"It's no big deal?" Karkaroff looked at her like a monster: "More than ten of my students have been admitted to the school infirmary. Do you think it's okay?!"
"Five of my students were injured as well." Katerina didn't care about his anger:
"Children are full of energy and have nowhere to vent. There's nothing wrong with some exercise. It's a bit too much of a fuss."
Karkaroff's face turned from black to red. Compared with Katerina's calmness, he seemed to be a man withfussing over every little thing.
"Everything has its right and wrong. It was your students who spoke rudely first, which led to today's farce."
Karkaroff said forcefully: "Professor Katerina, I find your students' ideas are very dangerous. Pure-blood families are the important pillars of the magic world."
"Why do Costolis' students have such a big prejudice against us?"
"We never interfere with students' thoughts." Katerina's expression suddenly became serious:
"Besides, I think there is nothing wrong with what they said."
"You..." Karkaroff was about to get angry, but was interrupted by her:
"The teaching philosophy of our school does not need outsiders to worry about it. If you want to prove that pure-bloods are better, let the competition speak for itself."
After saying that, Katerina turned around and left without waiting for Karkaroff's reply.
Her students followed behind, and the onlookers could still hear her scolding.
"Five people were injured in the fight against these rubbish. Did they drink fake wine? You are not allowed to drink this week. Go out and run five laps for me every morning! You are not allowed to wear a coat!"
The crowd: "..."
As expected of a fighting nation, they are so tough.
Wayne retracted his gaze and saw that Karkaroff's face had turned purple.
"What are you still doing here? Get out of here!" He yelled at his students, spitting.
The students of Durmstrang ran away in disgrace.
Before leaving, Karkaroff didn't even say hello to the other professors, and glared at Professor McGonagall fiercely to express his dissatisfaction.
"What are you so proud of?"
Wayne sneered, quietly took out his wand and pointed it at his back, muttering something.
There are countless black magics recorded in "The Most Toxic Magic", and he used the most vicious one among them - the hemorrhoid curse!
Damocles noticed his little move, but just curled his lips and ignored it.
In the heart of this old man, he didn't care about anything except the wolfsbane potion.
If Wayne said that if he killed Karkaroff, he could take out the potion to completely eradicate wolfsbane tonight, he would definitely do it without hesitation.
And he would ask Wayne before doing it, what kind of death he wanted to see.
"Professor McGonagall, what should we do?" Malfoy asked aggrievedly.
"I will talk to Professor Snape, you guys go back first." Professor McGonagall sent the Slytherin students away, and the other onlookers also dispersed.
Wayne asked Damocles to have a good rest, and he came to Hermione.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet."
"Let's eat together."
Taking Hermione back to the suitcase, Gardevoir prepared a sumptuous meal.
Wayne had been tortured by Damoclesi these days. He didn't even have a good meal. He just sat down and started to wolf it down.
Hermione was not happy.She was absent-mindedly cutting meat and picking vegetables for Wayne.
Seeing that something was wrong with her, Wayne did not ask directly, but waited until she was full of wine and food, stretched her body with satisfaction, and then said: "What profound question is our Miss Know-it-all thinking about?"
Hermione did not pay attention to the boy's ridicule, but thought for a while and asked: "Wayne, how much did you hear about the conversation just now?"
"Let's start by scolding the pure-blood nobles, what's wrong?"
"Do you think Costolis's students are right?" Hermione supported her chin with one hand, "Can Muggle-born wizards really not gain a foothold in the magic world?"
"What is a foothold?" Wayne asked back.
"Get an equal opportunity to compete and get a good job." Hermione said.
"It is indeed difficult." Wayne said frankly: "Let's not talk about other things for now. In the UK, almost all the senior positions in the Ministry of Magic are occupied by pure-bloods."
"Oh, sorry, I shouldn't use almost, it should be all."
"How is it possible." Hermione said in a lost voice.
"The Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the Bones family, the International Exchange and Cooperation Department, the Crouch family, the Transportation Department, the Greengrass family, the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, and now the Diggory family."
"In the Auror Office, Scrimgeour is not one of the 28 pure-blood families, but he is also a pure-blood. The same is true for Fudge, not to mention the Wizengamot, there are very few half-blood wizards in it."
"Even Mr. Weasley, although he is just a director of a small department, he also has legislative power and can get a ticket to the first-class box."
After Wayne finished talking one by one, Hermione was already sweating profusely.
You don't know until you count, and you will be shocked when you count.
After Wayne finished speaking, she realized that even at the end of the 20th century, the magic world was still controlled by these pure-blood families.
"Where did the Muggle wizards go?"
"The best ones enter the grassroots and serve as the backbone of the Ministry of Magic, but it is very difficult to get promoted. Ordinary people may be able to be a clerk or drive a Knight Bus."
"The class has been solidified." Wayne spread his hands helplessly: "After all, people have lived in the wizarding world since childhood, and it is normal for a family to have a aunt or uncle working in the Ministry of Magic."
"Such a society is unhealthy! It is even more unfair!" Hermione said excitedly.
"Then go and change it." Wayne did not pour cold water on her, but encouraged her:
"You don't have the ability now, but who can say for sure in the future? When you enter the upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic, you can slowly change this situation."
Miss Granger set a goal to strive for - "I must become the Minister of Magic!"
"I don't think it's good." Wayne shook his head, facing the little witch's puzzled eyes, Wayne explained:
"The minister is elected, and there are term limits, so it is easy for the phenomenon of people leaving and the government ending."
"If possible, it is the best choice for you to stay in the position of Director of the Law Enforcement Department."
Just like his uncle HumphreyIn this way, the Prime Minister has the most power in name, but in reality, the civil servants are the ones who control the lifeline of the country.
Of course, this also requires a premise, that is, the Prime Minister should not be too strong, otherwise it is easy to snatch power from them.
Now Huck has this tendency, but the cooperation between the two is quite pleasant, and there are not many conflicts.
He really hopes that Hermione can take a path of her own choice. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Everyone should have their own ideals and pursuits. He will not interfere, but will provide help.
Otherwise, all the girls will be around him like vases all day long, and he will be too busy.
Hermione seemed to understand, and Wayne was not in a hurry. When she really enters society in the future, she will slowly understand.
After dinner, the little witch went into the library to study as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
Wayne slept soundly.
The next day
Lupin came to Hogwarts secretly, and Wayne met him in Hagrid's hut.
"Mr. Damocles." Lupin greeted Damocles respectfully. He naturally respected and was full of gratitude for this wizard who had been working for werewolves all his life.
However, Damocles looked at him as if he was looking at a little white mouse, which made Lupin a little uncomfortable.
"Let's go to the Shrieking Shack." Wayne suggested. Lupin's identity was a little sensitive, and it would be easy for other young wizards to be scared when he appeared on campus.
"No problem."
The three of them came to Hogsmeade and had a meal at the Hog's Head Pub.
Aberforth was a little unhappy that Wayne hadn't come for so long. The two quarreled for a while, and finally Wayne took a large portion of fish and chips, smiled provocatively at Aberforth, and slipped out of the bar. []
The Shrieking Shack.
Looking at the dark purple potion in front of him, Lupin swallowed hard:
"Wayne, are you sure this potion is okay?"
"Of course I'm not sure." Wayne said confidently: "Because I'm not sure, I called you here to try the medicine?"
"Mr. Lupin, don't be nervous." Damocles comforted: "After our calculations, Mr. Lawrence's potion has basically reached the most perfect state."
"Even if it doesn't work, there won't be any side effects."
One of them played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, and they tricked Lupin into drinking the medicine.
His face wrinkled with bitterness: "Can you improve the taste of this medicine? It's too hard to drink, second only to the medicine Snape gave me."
"Next time I'll give you honey." Wayne said perfunctorily, and looked at the sky again.
It's still a while before evening, so he conjured a rocking chair and went outside to bask in the sun.
And Damocles dutifully recorded Lupin's feelings and changes.
Sirius arrived soon after. He knew his brother was going to try the medicine today, so he came to help.Busy.
"Don't worry Remus, if you transform tonight, I will knock you out and prevent you from going out to hurt others."
Lupin forced a smile: "Thank you, Sirius."
"Why are you being polite to me?" Sirius patted his chest: "This is what I should do."
Lupin had reason to suspect that this guy wanted to beat him up openly.
Finally, night fell, but the weather was not good. A large dark cloud floated over from a distance, covering the full moon in the sky.
Wayne summoned Mia, and the strong wind blew away the dark clouds again.
"Remus, you can come out!" Sirius stood at the door and shouted nervously, holding his wand.
Lupin's voice came from the Shrieking Shack: "Stand away. If you find any signs of my transformation, knock me out immediately."
After getting a positive answer, he pushed the door open and looked up at the full moon in the sky.
A minute later, he still hadn't changed. Sirius laughed loudly, and Damocles looked as happy as a child.
Lupin was in tears and his body was shaking.
But just when everyone was happy, his body suddenly changed, and Sirius, who had just approached, stepped back and pretended to cast a spell.
"Wait a minute!" Wayne stopped him: "Lupin's condition is fine, and he didn't show any pain. Let's wait a little longer."
Hearing what he said, Sirius stopped, but still stared at Lupin anxiously.
Five minutes later, except for the long hair growing all over his body, Lupin had not lost his sanity and was no different from usual.
"Mr. Damocles, I think we have succeeded." Wayne said happily: "As long as we go back and add the potion that inhibits hair growth, we will be completely successful."
"That's right!" Damocles was also very excited.
Sirius got permission and moved closer to Lupin, and curiously touched his hair.
"Don't say it, Remus, it feels quite comfortable to touch."
He used a hair removal spell to remove all of Lupin's hair, and then collected it, preparing to go back and make a coat for himself.
Lupin, who was so happy that he was almost crazy, didn't care about his actions at all, nor did he care that he had become a big bald head.
He just kept thanking Wayne and Damocles.
Just because he knew that from today on, he could live like a normal person and didn't have to disappear for a few days every month.
One night later, the four of them squatted in the Shrieking Shack to prevent Lupin from changing in the second half of the night.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
As soon as the sun rose, Wayne let Lupin go, and he and Damocles went back to make the final improvements.
Last night, Lupin's furry image gave him a hint of inspiration.
Beast mothers... are not bad either.
Let Grace try it when she gets back, and see what it feels like to become a cat-eared girl. .
