Chapter 958 Snape's Hearing

The next day was the weekend, and it was also the first weekend after Hogwarts reopened. Although the results were only available for one day, the students still looked like they had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Perhaps in order to eliminate the influence of Voldemort as soon as possible, this time it is Hogsmeade week.

Early in the morning, students in third grade and above eagerly gathered in the foyer, waiting for the professor to take them away.

"How long has it been since we last been to Hogsmeade?" Ron asked slightly excitedly in the team.

"I can't remember clearly." Harry thought for a moment, "It seems that since Voldemort started to act, we were not allowed to leave the school in the afternoon."

"This is also for our safety." Hermione said, "Death Eaters may be hiding in Hogsmeade.

It's not as safe as school. "

"Yeah, it was really depressing at that time." Seamus, who was standing in front, turned around and said, "It's still today, Voldemort has been defeated, the Death Eaters have no time to take care of themselves, and they don't dare to come out anymore, haha ​​-"

"Yeah." someone said, "Zizzy Bee Candy, Bibi's Multi-flavored Beans--I almost forgot their taste?

"And Joko, I hope they reopen."

To buy candy, it’s better to go to Lan Broom for a glass of butter beer.

As for those students who are under three years old, they can only watch and listen.

First and second years are not allowed to go to Hogsmeade, and even war cannot change this rule.

"Oh, why hasn't the professor come yet?" There were complaints from the crowd.

"Quiet, everyone come here!" Filch took a special instrument and scanned everyone who passed by.

This is an instrument for checking dark magic items. Before Voldemort attacked Hogwarts, every little wizard entering and leaving the castle had to be checked by the instrument.

Although Voldemort has been defeated now, the professors have not yet made clear regulations, and Filch has not eliminated this step.

After all, this is one of the few opportunities for him to cause trouble for students.

Filch's actions were as rough as ever, which also made the crowd complain louder.

Fortunately, at this time, the professor they had longed for finally entered the castle.

"What are you doing standing here? Hurry up and line up outside, ready to go." Kyle waved and he was the teacher leading the team this time.

The other professors all had serious things to do, but he was the most idle. If he didn't find something to do for himself, he would be troubled by "Wait a minute, we haven't finished the inspection yet!" Seeing the students starting to move outside, Filch immediately shouted loudly. road.

"There's no need to check." Kyle glanced at him, "There's also the old antique you're holding. I suggest you throw it back into the warehouse. After that, the students can freely enter and exit the castle as usual. No need to Wang He checked——Well, that’s it.”

There were bursts of cheers all around.

Only Filch's face was ashen, but he couldn't do anything to Kyle.

Although Kyle was a student who had to undergo an examination before entering the castle at this time last year, his status has now become a professor.

Even a professor of ancient runes with the smallest number of students could speak more effectively than him.

But Filch wouldn't just let it go.

"I'll go find the principal!" He said with a cold face.

"Whatever you want, if you can find it." Kyle waved his hand nonchalantly, and cheers rang out again.

Afterwards, everyone followed Kyle out of the school and arrived at Hogsmeade noisily.

When they saw those spire huts from a distance, some students subconsciously broke away from the team and ran over at a faster speed.

"As a reward for obeying the rules -" Kyle looked at them and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "If you go to Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, you can get a 20% discount by saying my name."

"marvelous!"

"You are the best professor!"

Several little wizards ran away cheering, but only one person stood there without moving.

"Hermione, do you have anything else?"

"Is this what you said, reward?" She looked a little strange.

"Yeah, you don't like it?"

"But I heard Ron say that today is Fred and George's day to celebrate the opening of the branch."

Hermione looked at Kyle and said word by word: "Even if I don't tell you your name, everything is 20% off." But they gained happiness, didn't they? "

Kyle shrugged and said, "I suggest you go buy something - Oh, remember to give me my name.

You will know then. "

After that, before Hermione could say anything else, Kyle walked forward on his own and came to the door of the Three Broomsticks.

Kai Xiaojin cleared away his worries, and when he met the corpse, he turned round and round, looking for a cross to catch Kang Na.

Across from her sat Cedric and Cho.

"Don't worry, I've made inquiries. Professor Snape is very good, and the Auror didn't make things difficult for him." Cedric handed Connor a piece of parchment, "He asked me to give it to you."

Kangna took it and took a look and breathed a sigh of relief, "Then when will he come back."

“I don’t know that.

Cedric shook his head, "Some things cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences - you know that,

At the end of the last wizarding war, many Death Eaters used excuses such as the Imperius Curse to escape punishment, but this time it turned out that they were all lying. "

"Of course, I'm not saying Professor Snape is a Death Eater, I mean the Ministry of Magic has stricter scrutiny." I understand. "Kanna nodded.

Kyle just walked over at this time.

"Didn't we make an appointment to meet at eight o'clock? Why are you all here so early?"

"If you look at the time now, you will find that we are not early." Cedric said helplessly.

As expected of Kyle, he was ten minutes late and could still confidently say that they were early.

It’s really a strenuous job. "

"Maintain order——Are you sure?" Cedric looked at Kyle suspiciously.

He thought of when Kyle was a prefect and almost all the work was delegated to him.

Cedric didn't think Kyle would change this habit after becoming a professor.

"It's not important." Kyle waved his hand and took the initiative to change the topic, "How about it, what you wrote in your letter yesterday was about Snape's hearing."

"I've already told Connor the specific situation." Cedric said, obviously not intending to repeat it to Kyle.

In other words, it's not necessary.

He came here to see Connor this time. After all, Snape's hearing had nothing to do with Kyle---it didn't matter so far.

On the other hand, Qiu next to him suddenly became nervous after seeing Kyle.

"I'm sorry that I locked you out at St. Mungo's yesterday -" she said sheepishly, "I just feel a little embarrassed that I couldn't participate in the real war."

"No, you are wrong." Kyle looked at her and said seriously: "You are also participating in a war, but the battlefield is different."

"You don't have to comfort me anymore -" Qiu scratched his hair, "Those Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic don't even know how to cast a decent curse.

"Yeah, you really should be sorted into Hufflepuff." Kyle said, unable to help but laugh.

As if thinking of something, Qiu also smiled.

She looked at the three people in front of her and sighed, "Mediocrity, this is definitely the biggest misunderstanding that all wizards have about Hufflepuff."

Cedric, the best graduate of his class, received perfect scores in all ten N.E.W.T certificates.

Conna, also ten certificates, is also the youngest member of the Society of Extraordinary Pharmacists.

Not to mention Kyle, a graduate who can challenge Voldemort, the youngest Hogwarts professor, a recipient of the Order of Merlin's Second Class Medal... he can talk about the title alone for five minutes.

And they are all mediocre Hufflepuff students.

"Let's continue talking about the hearing." Cedric took over the topic at the right time, continued to talk about Sneijin, and told Kangna some details of the hearing.

It was almost noon before a few people left the Three Broomsticks.

At Kyle's suggestion, they went to Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes (branch) located at the entrance.

After the unremitting efforts of Fred and George, they finally succeeded in acquiring Zuko and opened a branch next to Hogwarts.

In the store, Fred and George welcomed them warmly and introduced some new products with great interest.

Derek Han took a fancy to a color-changing tie.

Brother.

Kyle didn't have any particular solution for this - as long as Snape was still in the Ministry of Magic, she couldn't help but worry.

At noon, they had a not-so-luxurious lunch at the Three Broomsticks, and then Cedric and Akira were going back.

Connor also wanted to go home to find more evidence that could help Snape prove his identity and prepare for the hearing.

Although Kyle didn't think Snape would leave any clues about his identity where he lived, he didn't say so.

It would be nice to give Conner something to do before the hearing.

When it got dark, Kyle took the remaining students back to Hogwarts again, which was considered to be the completion of today's work.

Just like this, a few more days passed, and the time for the hearing was getting closer and closer, and Professor McGonagall became even busier.

Traveling more frequently between Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic.

One morning, Kyle even helped her with two lower-grade transfiguration classes, which she had never had before.

"I knew you were fine." When Kyle walked out of the classroom, Professor McGonagall had just returned. She looked at Kyle and nodded slightly. "I think it's okay for you to be a professor of Transfiguration."

He glanced at the parchment held in Professor McGonagall's hand.

"Professor. What is this?"

"Based on the contents of my memory, I compiled some things about what Severus has done, which Ying Hai can use later in the hearing."

"Snape's hearing?" Kyle was stunned for a moment.

"Yes."

"when?"

"I'm going to the Ministry of Magic now." Professor McGonagall said, "I just received the letter this morning, otherwise I wouldn't need you to help me in class.

"Can I come along?" Kyle asked.

"Yes, yes, but have you also received an invitation?" Professor McGonagall took out an envelope with a pattern of Sengama on it.

"No." Kyle shook his head honestly. He had just learned about the start of the hearing.

How could I possibly receive a letter?

"Then I suggest you stay at Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall said softly: "This hearing is very formal, and people who have not received an invitation are not allowed to attend, so even if you go to the Ministry of Magic, I can only wait outside.”

"Second Medal——Oh, I forgot." Professor McGonagall patted her forehead.

The main reason was that it had been so long that she almost forgot that Kyle still had this honor.

Membership of Sir Merlin is considered the highest honor for wizards. Even if it is only a third-level medal, he is eligible to participate in any hearing, let alone Kyle's second-level medal.

"Then let's go together." Professor McGonagall said no more words of rejection, "I'm afraid Miss Prince will have to wait for blindness, so we'd better get there quickly."

"good."

This time Professor McGonagall did not change the restrictions of Hogwarts, but left the school with Kyle.

In front of the gate, the two used Apparition one after another, and came to the Ministry of Magic from Hogwarts.

As soon as they appeared, Kangna, who had been waiting here for a long time, ran over quickly.

"Principal McGonagall——Kyle, you are here too."

After seeing Kyle following closely behind, her eyes suddenly lit up and she subconsciously walked over.

"Relax, our evidence is very strong." Kyle took the initiative to hold Kangna's hand, "But you should have told me earlier. If I hadn't met Professor McGonagall, I wouldn't have known that the hearing had started."

"Um----"

Kangna didn't say anything, but just held Kyle's hand.

"You two, this may be a little inappropriate to say, but we'd better leave as soon as possible." Professor McGonagall couldn't bear it, and Connor seemed to be really not so nervous anymore.

"The letter to me said that the hearing will be on the second floor." Connor took out a folded piece of parchment from her pocket.

"Which courtroom is on the second floor?" Kyle asked.

"The second courtroom." Professor McGonagall said.

"Not bad." Kyle nodded. There are ten trial rooms in the Ministry of Magic. The higher the number, the smaller the number.

"We have sufficient evidence to prove Severus' identity. Of course they can't mess around." Professor McGonagall said. She still looked a little dissatisfied.

"They said the first courtroom is still being repaired - that's nonsense. It's taken so long, even if it's enough to rebuild the Ministry of Magic, why can't we repair a small courtroom?"

"That's good."

"Forget it, let's get there quickly, lest they make any more tricks-" She still remembered that when Harry was being sentenced a few years ago, the Ministry of Magic had implemented a temporary change of courtroom.

At that time, Kyle seemed to have been tricked into coming to the Ministry of Magic.

Although Amelia Bones is now more disciplined than when Cornelius Fudge was the Minister, Professor McGonagall still feels that it is better to be cautious.

"Minerva, Connor, you are finally here."

Mr. Weasley had been waiting here for a long time, and he came up to him immediately after the elevator door opened.

"Oh, Kyle? Did you get the invite too?"

"No, but I have a second-level medal and can attend."

"..——-Oh, yes, that's right." Mr. Weasley paused for a moment before suddenly saying.

It can be seen that he, like Professor McGonagall, has ignored Kyle's honor.

Mainly because it's been too long, and Kyle has been doing big things from time to time over the years, so it's very common not to remember.

"How's it going, Arthur, is there no problem?" Professor McGonagall asked as she walked out of the elevator.

"Not this time, it's in the second courtroom." Mr. Weasley said, "I've been watching, but it's still early for the king to show up, and many people haven't come, but Amelia Bones has already arrived. "
