Hogwarts, this professor is too stable.

August 8, "Daily Prophet"

The female reporter, who was wearing a black suit and had a straight and slender figure, stood in front of Gringotts. She looked back at the gilded door in the newspaper, with tears on her face that had not yet been wiped away.

[At 1991:8 on August 1, 19, Gringotts was attacked by two dark wizards. Under the instructions of the Minister of Magic, Mr. Cornelius Fudge, the Ministry of Magic deployed control of the attack in advance, and Aurors and strike In a joint operation, they captured a fugitive Death Eater and killed a dark wizard on the spot.

Although one of the dark wizards even broke into vault No. 713, the contents of this vault had been completely taken away. Not a single Copper Knut was lost in Gringotts. Wizards should not worry about the safety of their property.

The dark wizard who sneaked into the underground vault used extremely evil black magic to summon a large number of Inferi underground in Gringotts. Currently, all of these Inferi have been eliminated by the Ministry of Magic.

The Minister of Magic, Mr. Cornelius Fudge, pointed out after the completion of this operation that the safety of the magical community is a top priority, and maintaining the security of the magical community is the solemn commitment of the Ministry of Magic to all wizards. The overall concept of magical security proposed by Minister Fudge is lofty, profound, and rich in content. It deeply integrates a series of important statements by Minister Fudge on the security of the magical world, and is also reflected in the specific practice in the field of magical security since the election of the Minister of Magic... …

Following the press release, there was a photo of Mr. Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, giving a speech. In the photo, he was wearing a very colorful suit and was giving a speech with enthusiasm and solemnity.

In the back, there's a photo of the Inferi rushing out of the tunnel, like something out of a Muggle apocalyptic zombie movie.

Finally, there are the two Aurors and Strikers who died in this operation.

For a time, this news caused an uproar in the magical world.

[Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office. 】

"Minerva, I think we have to find a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Dumbledore put down the letter in his hand, looking tired.

The Ministry of Magic has not disclosed to the public the identities of the two dark wizards who attacked Gringotts, but Dumbledore is obviously not a member of the public. He almost immediately received the letter from Fudge asking for credit, as well as News that gave him a headache.

Dumbledore knew that the course was cursed by someone, but he did not expect that in the year when Harry Potter was about to enter Hogwarts, the curse would be so strong, and the newly recruited professor would actually start the semester. Dumbledore died in Gringotts a month ago, still as a robbing dark wizard. Dumbledore could still almost remember the scene where Quirrell had coffee with him in this office not long ago.

Compared to Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall was much more haggard. Those reporters didn't know where they got the news. They knew that Quirinus Quirrell was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts this year. Writing to Hogwarts, those damn owls put them all on her desk.

Although it was very rude, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but take off her glasses in front of the principal and rubbed her sore and swollen eyes, "Dumbledore..."

She looked directly at the wise principal, thinking who could not make mistakes? Even if he is Dumbledore.

"It's only been a month. Where do you want me to contact a new professor who is good at Defense Against the Dark Arts? Is it possible that you want me to go to Azkaban to find one for you?" After a pause, she seemed to feel that she The tone of his words was too blunt, and he quickly explained, "This matter of Quirrell has attracted the attention of many people. They are questioning the level of selection of professors at Hogwarts. We need to carefully review every new member who joins Hogwarts." Professor, this kind of thing must never happen again."

Now that it's fine, Dumbledore has an even bigger headache, and it seems that the entire wizarding world knows about it.

"Minerva, I will write to Moody personally. There is no better candidate than him now." Dumbledore directly ignored Professor McGonagall's angry words about going to Azkaban to find a new professor. Although the idea is indeed attractive, Dumbledore does not intend to commit crimes at a time when the credibility of Hogwarts is being questioned by the public.

"Those two children, Minerva, you know who I'm asking, how are their families?"

Professor McGonagall was silent, and after a long time she slowly spoke, "Don't worry Dumbledore, my friends at the Ministry of Magic have written to me, they will be fine..."

……

The Ministry of Magic had no intention of just letting this matter go.

Operation Gringotts has come to an end, but the huge results achieved by the Ministry of Magic in this operation cannot come to an end.

Mr. Cornelius Fudge met with reporters almost day and night. His staff and secretaries broke several quills when writing manuscripts. It is estimated that within a week, Mr. Minister’s wise leadership will cover everyone in the wizarding world. In one corner, it even entered the conversation of those young wizards who were still in school after dinner.

Unlike Mr. Minister, Mr. Fonseca, the batter, left immediately. Holding a letter with an albatross in his hand, he apparated to the place where the letter was sent.

As expected, here he met the Auror Cheikh Kayo who had been fighting side by side just now. The other person also held a white envelope in his hand.

The two looked at each other, and the silence around them was a bit strange. They both saw deep sadness and suspicion in each other's eyes.

Who sent this letter? Whose patronus is that albatross? What did that person want in this incident?

The moment Alajo's hole was opened, a smell of dust and mold came from the house.

Mr. Fonseca fanned himself with his hand, but his heart grew cold—it seemed that no one had lived here for a while.

He looked at Mr. Cayo. Aurors were very good at site investigation and trace inspection.

Sure enough, the Auror captain quickly discovered something was wrong, but this did not require high-level reconnaissance skills, because the wrong thing was placed on the table covered with a layer of dust-proof cloth.

It was an envelope with an albatross painted on it.

"I am Zaining Lee, an enthusiastic citizen. Regarding the bounty of the Death Eater Duluha, I hope to divide it equally into the hands of the families of the two fallen heroes. I deeply regret this."

The two looked at each other, shook their heads, and apparated away from here.

……

And under the large boiler in the kitchen cupboard of No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

An old house elf with a dirty rag around his waist and almost naked body was holding a newspaper in his hand. He stared at the photo of the Inferi on it, tears welling up in his big eyes.

Even among the pile of infernal corpses whose faces were unclear, even though the person was covered with only rotten flesh, Kreacher still recognized that person at a glance...

"Kreacher, you filthy bug, get out of here!"

The call from the portrait of the late mistress came again from the living room.

But the house elf was unmoved. It still stared at the newspaper closely, and the picture of the Inferi that looked like purgatory was folded at the front respectfully.

"Master, Master Regulus..."

The old house elf, who could hardly walk, hit his head hard on the boiler until it bled.

The portrait of a woman kept shouting its name.

"Kreacher is not a good house elf. Kreacher failed to protect the things that Master Regulus asked Kreacher to protect. Kreacher is going to get them back and take Master Regulus's things from the wizard's hands." Take back!"

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the house elf disappeared there.
