MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 367 365. Office of the Vice-Chancellor

  Chapter 367 365. Office of the Vice-Chancellor

  The imitation of Cedric's arrows all played a key role.

Kingsley first took one of them for an experiment, and then passed the warning magic around the Forbidden Forest. After not attracting half of the Aurors, all the Wupingxian wizards at the scene began to enter the Forbidden Forest through this arrow. Including Jon as well.

   Once they entered the Forbidden Forest, it would not be a problem to find Firenze and the others.

  Jon led the way and finally came to the place he and Firenze had agreed upon. This was an open space near the cliff, where the horsemen were temporarily stationed, and they were not disturbed by the Aurors for the time being.

  Seeing that Jon brought Kingsley and others here according to their original agreement, even Firenze, who is known for his wisdom and calmness among the centaur, showed excitement and joy on his face.

After being separated from Jon in the Forbidden Forest, the group of horsemen also sensed the occurrence of the dragon disaster, but with only a dozen old, weak, sick and disabled left, they had no way to provide Jon with anything. Such valuable help.

   Some horsemen even felt that Firenze had found the wrong partner for cooperation, and Jon would definitely not be able to survive this game.

  He can indeed deal with a fire dragon with his own hands, but once the dragons gather in groups, they are basically two species.

  These centaurs felt that not only would Jon have no chance of helping them, but there was also a great possibility that he would be caught by Voldemort himself and eventually expose the information of the only remaining centaurs.

  So they are all persuading Firenze to think of other ways, no matter how confident they are in Jon, they have to move away from the place where they are temporarily stationed.

   But Firenze, just like more than ten years ago, resisted all opinions and did not have the slightest doubt about Jon.

  The only difference is that more than ten years ago, he was not the horseman who had the final say in the horseman tribe, but in this small tribe with only a dozen people, he has the right to vote.

   Firenze felt that the more trouble Jon encountered in such a game, the more it proved that Voldemort valued him very much.

   This further proves the ability and importance of Jon, and the remaining centaurs want to embrace this only thigh.

   And now the final facts prove that Firenze's choice is not wrong.

   Being in the Forbidden Forest, the news of the horsemen was blocked. They didn't know what happened on the night of the game, and how the dragons finally returned to calm.

  It wasn't until Jon took Kingsley and the others to find Firenze today that they realized that the centaur finally made the right decision this time!

   Firenze knelt down on the first two horseshoes and gave Jon a heartfelt hug.

"Thank you for bringing people to find us as promised, Jon, thank you very much, you saved the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest, although we have almost nothing, and we can't give any valuable gifts Come out, but this kindness of yours will be remembered by all the horsemen today, and you can bring it up if there is any need for us in the future."

  Jon was very generous about this.

   "There is no thanks, no thanks, I only know that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, no matter what choice you have made, but now we are friends, aren't we?"

   Regarding his words, Firenze didn't make any more verbal promises, but just looked into Jon's eyes and nodded solemnly.

   Reunited with these horse people, Hagrid was very happy at first, but soon after he found that there were more and more names he knew, and he could no longer find the parties involved, he became silent and sad.

He was very sad, especially after learning from these centaurs that his closest friend, the acromantula named Aragog, had died, he was sitting alone on a big rock and clutching his hands. The face is in a daze.

  Jon felt sympathy for Hagrid now, but he didn't bother him.

  He knew that Hagrid could adjust himself. After all, he had lost many animal friends in the past ten years on the run. Aragog was just one of them, not the first, and certainly not the last.

   After seeing these centaurs, Kingsley immediately got into work.

  As he said to Jon at the beginning, no matter how powerful the anti-apparition magic of Hogwarts Castle is, it cannot cover the entire Forbidden Forest.

   What Kingsley and the others have to face is how to escape the strict magic review of the British Ministry of Magic around Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

   But as he himself said, since they have a way to apparate to Hogsmeade, they can also apparate out from here, and of course it's not a problem to take a centaur along the way.

The night before Jon and Kingsley came to the Forbidden Forest, they had actually prepared countless plans for emergencies, including what to do if they were discovered by the monitoring of the British Ministry of Magic, surrounded by Aurors, or A professor at Hogwarts castle discovers what to do when trapped in the Forbidden Forest.

But none of this may have happened. They brought the centaurs out of the Forbidden Forest very smoothly, because the number of Wupingxian wizards who came to the Forbidden Forest was not as many as the centaurs here, so the apparition was divided into two waves, The first wave took away half of the people first, and the second wave waited for the personnel to return before conducting another evacuation.

"We will take you to France first, Mr. Firenze. After you settle down there, Dumbledore will meet with you to discuss the follow-up arrangements for your people. Let's talk about astrology."

   After watching half of the centaurs being taken away, Kingsley said to Firenze with a serious face.

   Firenze also nodded calmly.

  Even if Kingsley didn't say it explicitly, he could hear that the matter about the astrology should be related to the astrology divination he talked about when he first met Jon in the Forbidden Forest that day.

Not long after, after a sufficient number of Wupingxian wizards returned to the Forbidden Forest, Kingsley, Jon, Hagrid, and Firenze finally followed a sound like a whip whipping the air. Disappeared in this quiet Forbidden Forest.

  What neither Jon, who was always vigilant, nor Kingsley, who had sufficient anti-reconnaissance experience, noticed.

  In an unobtrusive shadow, a figure in a black robe watched the whole process of them rescuing the centaur.

  But from the beginning to the end, he just stood there quietly, quietly watching what Jon and the others did.

  Hogwarts Vice-Headmaster's Office.

  When Voldemort was not in the castle most of the time, it should be said that this was the center of power in the castle.

  But the wizard who was endowed with this power, Severus Snape, did not fully have the same position of power in this castle.

  In the hearts of the students, his sense of presence is not weak. As the vice principal, he is also the professor of potions at the Pure Blood Academy and the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at the Half Blood Academy.

   Whether he was facing students in class or in private, he always showed a very cold face. He always had that cold face that seemed to be frozen. This point did not change even when facing Voldemort.

However, among the mixed-race students, there have always been rumors that this vice principal is actually a cold outsider and hot inside. If you dare to reach out to him on Halloween, he will not hesitate to go from the full Grab a handful of candy from the candy pocket and place it in your hand.

Of course, this is just a rumor. Even the students who heard these words would not dare to make such an attempt on Halloween. Even if some brave ones had already stood in front of Snape, when they saw the After the empty and cold gaze, he would apologize in fear and then run away in a hurry.

   It can be said that Snape's reputation in the castle is not low, nor does he lack the respect of the students.

But for some unknown reason, if they bring him up with Professor Crouch who only has the title of Charms professor, the students will subconsciously think that no matter how powerful Headmaster Snape is, he should just be with Crouch. Professor Rauch is on par.

  Even if the students don't know what kind of outstanding achievements this professor who once won the first class medal of the Order of Merlin has.

  They just know that Professor Crouch usually smiles and is kind to everyone, but he is also responsible for the admission of mudbloods that few professors are willing to do.

  But somehow felt that this professor was very powerful, on par with Vice-Principal Snape.

If one day, in the absence of Voldemort, Snape's orders to the students conflicted with Crouch, then it is estimated that the students would be divided into two factions, half of them chose to obey Snape, while the other half chose to follow. Follow Crouch.

   It was precisely because of this that whether it was among the adult professors or the underage students, Snape's power was divided in half by Barty Crouch Jr.

  But Snape didn't care much about it from the beginning to the end.

  Even if he sometimes confronts Barty Jr. in public, the sarcasm in that tone sounds only aimed at Barty Jr. personally, and he doesn’t have many complaints about what he should have had.

  In the blood-ruled political system established by Voldemort, what Snape showed was that not only was a pure blood occupying a high position, but he was also an outlier with a mixed blood.

  Compared with other people, that kind of character who seems to be indifferent to the world is even more weird.

   It is precisely because of the double superposition of blood and character that he is now isolated under Voldemort. Even though he is deeply trusted by Voldemort himself, few of the Death Eaters really listen to him.

  Voldemort never said anything about this situation, or maybe he himself was happy to see this situation.

  Snape's office was ordinary.

   Located on the sixth floor of the castle, a room without windows.

   Because of this, even in the daytime, candles must be lit here, so that we can work normally.

  The furnishings in the office are very simple. On the old wooden bookshelf, apart from some simple books, there are only a few glass bottles filled with transparent and unknown liquid.

   When Barty Jr. walked in from the door, Snape was reading a book.

   It was a "Powerful Potion" that seemed to have been rummaged through, one of the very few banned books left in the library. This book was not brought to the Ministry of Magic by Voldemort, but was left with Snape.

   "Obviously you are so talented in potions, why were you so obsessed with the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

  Snape glanced up at Barty Jr., and didn't intend to answer his question at all.

   "When will you have the courtesy to knock when entering someone's office?"

   "We are all colleagues, sometimes the relationship doesn't have to be so rigid, right?"

   Little Barty's expression is still so kind, with a smile on his face, like a middle-aged man who really wants to get along with his colleagues.

   "I don't want to waste time with you, if you have something, it's best to speak up."

  Snape was cold and did not put down the book in his hand.

  Jr. Barty didn't seem to care about his alienation, and sat directly opposite Snape, staring into Snape's eyes with those seemingly peaceful but vicious eyes.

   "Things are a bit unexpected, right? According to the master and our plan from the beginning, that little Mudblood should have died in the Forbidden Forest."

  Snape remained unmoved, his gaze still on the page.

   "So the master didn't put all his love on those dragons, he is still fully prepared. When will the dragon blood I need be delivered, pay attention to the way your people handle it."

   Little Barty finally restrained the disguise on his face, agitated by Snape's inattention.

"Don't worry about those **** fire dragons! You know, at the beginning we all thought that this plan in the Forbidden Forest should be foolproof! The master's backup plan is just a last resort. What he wants to do most is to kill that mud Seed! Kill him!"

   At this time, Snape finally raised his head from the book, and he stared at Barty Jr., his voice still indifferent.

   "So you can kill him by yelling at me?"

   Little Barty suddenly turned to speak plainly.

   "Of course we can't here, but we can use other ways to share the master's worries."

   "Those fire dragons have failed, what else are you going to do?"

  Jr. Barty narrowed his eyes, and he answered the wrong question.

   "You say a boy of about 15 years old, what should he think about all day? For example, you, Severus, what were you doing when you were 15 years old?"

   While he was talking, he inadvertently glanced at a framed photo on Snape's desk.

  It was a photo that had not been exposed to magic, and there was only a beautiful, quiet, smiling girl in the black and white photo.

   "Falling in love with that Mudblood who later married Potter?"

   My hometown is too noisy at night during the Chinese New Year. I guess the typo is still there after I proofread it three times. If you still find something, just point it out in that paragraph.

   Sorry, this is my problem (╥_╥)
