Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

While eating dinner and chatting, the Auror came.

This scene really surprised all the young wizards present. Many of them stood up like groundhogs and looked at the Aurors in confusion.

In fact, even the several deans who rushed over after receiving the notice were also a little surprised by the sudden appearance of these Aurors.

"Rufus, what are you doing here at school?" Professor McGonagall asked the middle-aged wizard headed by Xiang. Although the latter has now become the director of the Auror Office, he was also a graduate of Gryffindor College before. s student.

Moreover, even the appearance of Rufus Scrimgeour is somewhat similar to that of the old lion in the Serengeti savanna in the animal world.

His tawny hair and thick eyebrows were mixed with wisps of gray. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses were a pair of sharp yellow eyes. Although his legs were a bit lame, he walked with the grace of a meteor, making people immediately feel that he was A sharp, tough guy.

"Dean McGonagall," Scrimgeour first said hello to his former dean, and then nodded gently to the other deans.

However, when he saw Snape, his eyes stayed for a second or two.

"The purpose of our presumptuous visit this time is to take away Professor Snape." He said concisely and concisely: "Something happened just now, just over at Spider Alley, Professor Snape's old house..."

Perhaps sensing that many young wizards were looking at him curiously, Scrimgeour lowered his voice and spoke a few words.

Immediately afterwards, Professor McGonagall's face turned pale. It was like she was hit in the head by something, and it took her a few seconds to recover.

"I cannot agree to your request," Professor McGonagall shook her head. "Severus is the Potions Professor at Hogwarts. He has two classes that he must attend tomorrow, and they will be next week." It’s time for the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination and the Ultimate Wizarding Qualification Examination, which are crucial for young wizards in fifth and seventh grade.”

"Dean McGonagall, we have no choice." Scrimgeour frowned, "This decision was not made by the Auror Office, but a magical ruling signed directly by Minister Fudge. We cannot violate it."

While he was speaking, several Aurors who had followed him to Hogwarts had spread out into a loose formation, vaguely surrounding Snape and several professors.

Seeing this situation, Professor McGonagall's attitude softened, but she still insisted: "I have to communicate with Dumbledore."

"Master Dean, we have nothing else..."

Scrimgeour reluctantly repeated what he had just said, but at this moment, a clear cry suddenly sounded over the auditorium.

Fox, the fire phoenix, appeared here at some point. It kept hovering over the auditorium, its dazzling orange-red feathers reflecting the light emitted by the floating candles, as if little sparks were shooting out of its body.

"I have to say, Principal Dumbledore is really cool to have a fire phoenix as a partner!" Ron said with excitement.

Then, perhaps thinking of his pet rat, his face suddenly fell.

"I have to study the color-changing spell later. George and Fred assured me that the spell was not a squib. Maybe it was because I pronounced the wrong syllables or something, so I couldn't make Scabbers' fur change."

Bourne, who was sitting next to him, picked up a fork and poked a piece of barbecue into his mouth, hiding the change in his expression with the action of chewing salt pork.

Unlike other little wizards, because of his excellent hearing, he just heard clearly what Scrimgeour and Professor McGonagall were whispering.

"The house is on fire, the Dark Mark has appeared, and all the amnesiacs at the Ministry of Magic are being forced to work overtime." He tried hard to search through his memory, and was finally 100% sure that there was definitely no similar plot in the original Harry Potter books.

"So, who did this?"

While Byrne was constantly calculating whether this variable would affect some of his plans, the negotiations between several deans and Scrimgeour also made some progress.

Through some channels, even though he was far away in Southern Europe, Dumbledore still knew the situation of the British Ministry of Magic (especially the Auror Department) very well.

He asked Fox to bring back a note expressing his opinion.

Although he agreed to Scrimgeour's request and allowed them to temporarily invite Snape to the Ministry of Magic to ask some questions, it was only limited to questioning.

Moreover, this inquiry can only last until the early morning of tomorrow at the latest.

What Dumbledore means is that just as the sun will rise tomorrow as usual, the Potions Professor must also return to Hogwarts Castle on time, step onto the podium, and impart knowledge to the little wizards who are "waiting for food".

As for whether the Auror Office could ask anything at this time, and whether there was any way to find clues about the suspects of this "extremely bad" fire, that was none of Snape's business.

Of course, Dumbledore's real thought may be: It doesn't matter what your Auror office does about this matter, he will take action in the end anyway.

However, this may have to wait for a few days, because he still has an urgent problem that needs to be solved and cannot spare any time for the time being.

For the guidance given by the former headmaster and the greatest white wizard in the world - even if it slaps the entire Auror office, the result is better than not being able to take away the person, or worse, requiring the use of force in Hogwarts. It would be better to ask Snape away - Scrimgeour had no reason not to agree.

If you don't agree, you are being shameless. He is a serious British man, and he is not a general, so he will not be so ignorant.

After dinner, on the way to the library for self-study, Hermione had been a little worried: "Those Aurors took Professor Snape away, who will teach us Potions class next week? Will Principal Dumbledore find other teachers?" The professor comes to teach for us? What if the new professor reorganizes the focus of the exam? "

"Instead of worrying about the potions test, I think it's a good thing that Snape was taken away by the Aurors." Ron shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Anyway, no matter who comes to take over the potion test, it will be better than Snape's magic." Medicine class is a hundred times better.”

Harry is also a supporter of this view.

He was even a little excited in his heart, and at the same time he did not forget to share his guess with his friends in a low voice:

"You guys are saying, could it be that Professor Dumbledore discovered Snape's little tricks with the Sorcerer's Stone, so he just asked the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to capture him and lock him up?

In this case, no one in Hogwarts should have bad intentions towards the gem anymore. "

Bourne, who was walking in front of them, couldn't help grinning after hearing these words and shook his head slightly.

The results deduced by these little wizards are not to say that they are far from the point, but they can also be regarded as completely wrong. Just relying on the words of the three of them, if Dumbledore hadn't arranged everything secretly in the original work, Nick Flamel's Philosopher's Stone would have definitely been stolen by Quirrell.

"Bourne! Come here quickly, we have something to do with you!" Just before they were about to enter the door of the library, two figures suddenly appeared at the far corner of the corridor. Even though they were half a corridor apart, George and Fred's loud voices attracted the attention of many young wizards.
