Chapter 278 276 Letter was intercepted

Although Professor McGonagall's attitude prevented her class from being disturbed, other professors' classes were not like this.

Especially Hagrid’s Care of Magical Creatures lesson.

Because Feeney didn't choose this elective, he didn't know the specific situation. I just heard that Hagrid was severely targeted, which made Hagrid, who was not very smart, make many mistakes.

Umbridge specifically targeted the issue of Hagrid's bloodline. You know, Hagrid rarely uses his brain, so when faced with Umbridge's questions, he missed many things. Fortunately, those things were all It's not very important. Dumbledore didn't reveal any of his subsequent orders.

Hagrid was also targeted at Finny. After all, if there is anyone in the entire Hogwarts who trusts Dumbledore the most, obeys all Dumbledore's orders unconditionally, and is absolutely trusted by him, then it must be him. Hagrid,

This old boy with giant blood, a somewhat slow mind, was expelled from Hogwarts and had his wand broken. Because Dumbledore kept him and gave him a new wand, he firmly believed in his heart that Dumbledore must be Yes,

Before the matter against the professor was completely finished, Umbridge came up with another thing, a new education order.

Hogwarts High Inquisitor Order

All student organizations, associations, teams, or clubs are hereby disbanded.

Hereby defined, blocks, associations, teams and clubs mean regular gatherings of three or more students.

Reorganization can be requested from the Senior Inquisitor (Ms. Umbridge).

No student organizations, associations, teams and clubs may exist without the approval of the Senior Ombudsman.

If any student is found to have formed or joined any organization, association, team or club without the approval of the Senior Ombudsman, he or she will be expelled immediately.

The above conditions comply with the "Education Order No. 24"

sign:

senior investigative officer

Dolores Jane Umbridge

The promulgation of this law means that all organizational teams in Hogwarts are illegal, which naturally includes the professors' clubs, including the Charms Club, the Transfiguration Club, etc.

Feeney had every reason to suspect that the Ministry of Magic was doubting whether Dumbledore was forming his own army at Hogwarts. This was also digging into Dumbledore's foundation in Hogwarts.

The little wizards didn't expect this. They were focused on another thing, that is, Umbridge divided the Quidditch team into a private organization, that is, without Umbridge's consent. , Quidditch matches cannot be played.

This made Harry and the others very angry,

"She can't do this! She doesn't have the power!"

Hermione sighed and said,

"But in fact she has such power, and she actually did it,"

Ron kicked the stone under his feet angrily.

"Damn it!"

Feeney gently patted several of them on the shoulders and said,

"That's not the most important thing. If it doesn't surprise me, she may want to interfere with the teaching content in the Hogwarts classroom."

"What?"

Hermione shouted in shock,

"She can't do this!"

Feeney shrugged.

"Just like what you just said, she can. Although this may make more professors angry with her, if the Ministry of Magic wants to interfere with Hogwarts, it needs to start from the fundamentals. Don't forget, Hogwarts Gwarts is a school, and apart from students and teachers, the foundation of the school is the classroom. The review of professors is aimed at the students. Then, the next step will definitely be aimed at the classroom, that is, teaching rectification. "

While several people were discussing this matter in the Room of Requirement, Astoria suddenly said to them,

"Guys, there's one more thing I thought you might need to know,"

Feeney turned around and saw the little girl holding his owl popsicle.

Popsicle looked a little sluggish at this time, and his feathers were unusually disheveled. His wings were even folded upside down, and he made wailing sounds from time to time.

"It hurt."

Feeney frowned and saw the letter from Popsicle.

Hermione looked at the popsicle wings carefully and said,

"There's something wrong with its wings, it's not an injury caused by nature."

Several little ones gathered around the popsicle and carefully examined its injuries, judging the circumstances that caused such injuries - this was what Feeney had given them. A good fighter requires not only combat experience and methods, but also Learn to use your brain, know the fighting skills in different situations, and judge the environment, the injuries of creatures, etc. to determine your enemy's situation.

Feeney closed the letters in his hands. This was a letter sent to him by Lisa. It had been opened by someone. Fortunately, the content on it was encrypted. If you don't know the decryption method, this is a query. A recent letter from home.

\u0026quot;The letter was opened,\u0026quot;

Feeney said to several people,

"I think, if nothing else, the communication channels inside and outside Hogwarts may be monitored,"

When Harry and others heard this, they all took a breath. It was different from the original work because no one actually saw the return of the mysterious man. This was just Feeney's judgment, plus some clues that proved it. , so Hermione, Ron, Neville, and the twins have not yet come into contact with the Order of the Phoenix,

But even so, they still knew about the return of the mysterious man. Finny told them on the Hogwarts Express, so they could think that Dumbledore Finney and the others must have done a lot of things outside of Hogwarts. ,

In this case, they would not have imagined what the control of communication channels means.

Finny sighed,

"If nothing else, we need to change the channel to communicate with the outside world. At least common channels such as Floo Network and Owl cannot be used."

George and Fred looked at each other and laughed.

Feeney heard this and looked over. When he saw the expressions of the two of them, he knew that they had some pretty good ideas.

"George, Fred, what did you think of?"

Several others looked over in confusion. Only Astoria was still holding the popsicle and carefully applying medicine to its wound.

The twins smiled and said in unison,

"We still have a regular channel."

Feeney was stunned. After a moment, he thought of it and asked with a trace of uncertainty,

"Hogsmeade?"

The twins nodded,

"That's right, the Pig's Head Bar."

Feeney nodded, this was a good choice. If Feeney hadn't read the original work, he wouldn't have thought of that secret passage. Now there are only a few people in Hogwarts who know about that secret passage, including Feeney, Jordan, George, Fred, and Dumbledore. profitable,

After all, the Pig's Head Bar, the exit of the secret passage, is Aberforth's place. He didn't have any special meaning in building the bar there. Feeney didn't believe it.

Seeing the confusion on the faces of the other people, Feeney smiled, took out his wand and clicked on each of them.

Suddenly, there were no other figures in the entire Room of Requirement.

"Illusion Curse?"

Hermione's voice sounded in the Room of Requirement.

It was Astoria who answered her;

"Finney is probably worried that someone in Hogsmeade is watching."

Feeney's voice sounded,

"That's right, okay, let's go."

After saying that, a door appeared on the wall of the Room of Requirement. Then the door was opened for no reason. A moment later, the door was closed again.

Under the influence of the Illusion Body Curse, even I can't see myself, which creates a strange scene like Piao in the Room of Requirement.

Feeney and the others walked a long way in the tunnel and came to the back of another door.

Knocked lightly on the door. After a moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and then it was opened.

Feeney walked out first, although no one else, including himself, could see it.

An old man who looks exactly the same as Dumbledore, or who is very similar to Dumbledore, is standing behind this door.

And this door is actually a portrait of a young girl. The girl bowed slightly towards the place where Fini and the others were hidden, as if she could see them.

Feeney's voice sounded.

"There are some accidents at Hogwarts. I will tell you the details later. Please inform the Black family. I have something to tell them. Please forgive me, Mr. Dumbledore."

"Dumbledore?"

Harry's shocked voice sounded,

Hearing this, Aberforth ignored Harry's voice, turned around and left directly.

Feeney then smiled and replied,

"This is the professor's brother, Aberforth Dumbledore. However, his relationship with the professor is not very good, so it is best not to mention the professor in front of him,"

Suddenly, the entire bar's back kitchen was silent, as if everyone was digesting the gold content of Feeney's words.

After a while, Aberforth came back with a child who looked young.

In the meantime, the child bowed in the direction of Finny and the others. Of course, he couldn't see Finny and the others. He just heard Aberforth say that they were here, so he had to bow.

Feeney said,

"The external communication channel of Hogwarts has been monitored. Popsicle has been intercepted once before. I am not sure whether the letter has been opened and read. Therefore, for the sake of safety, at the same time, all the power of the Black family will be sent through The third set of codes must be used to deliver messages by letter, and the closest place to receive letters can only be Hogsmeade, but it is best to be farther away."

"In addition, inform Lisa to prepare several sets of disappearing cabinets, double-sided mirrors, etc. These things are safer and faster to use to convey messages."

The child nodded, said nothing, and stared directly at Aberforth.

Feeney's smiling voice sounded again,

"Mr. Dumbledore can be trusted, so there is no need to avoid him,"

The boy then spoke,

"Sister Lisa informed us a few days ago. After that, many strangers came to Hogsmeade. Some of them were from the Auror Department of the Ministry of Magic. We recognized them, and some of them were unknown. The only thing that can be determined now is that they are dark wizards."

"Well, it's You-Know-Who's man!"

Feeney said matter-of-factly,

"Professor Dumbledore is now facing a conspiracy from the Ministry of Magic. He may be removed from his position as the principal of Hogwarts at any time, and his life safety may even be in question. After all, he is now a centenarian. , it is impossible to be so careful around the clock.”

Finny's words were not actually speaking to the child, but telling Aberforth that Dumbledore was in a very dangerous situation at this time.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Aberforth's face became a little ugly. The boy was also very confused.

Feeney opened his mouth to receive it,

"You don't need to understand. Write down everything I said and give it to Lisa. Remember, you have to go to London in person, find her, and hand my words to her with your own hands."

The boy nodded and Feeney smiled and said,

"Okay, let's go."

The boy then turned and ran away,

Looking at the boy leaving, Feeney said,

"This is Black's information dealer in Hogsmeade. He usually sells information. In comparison, he can collect the required information for Black and deliver information. Although he looks like a child, in fact he He is forty years old and a great wizard."

"Okay, I have demonstrated to you the method of delivering the message. If there is any message that needs to be delivered secretly, you can come to the Pig Head Bar to find this person and hand it over to him. Black has his own way of delivering the message. Although the message channel is not very fast, it is very safe. It can not only transmit information, but also quickly mobilize personnel without being easily discovered. "

This is not so much a channel for transmitting information, but rather a way for Finny to connect to the Pig's Head Bar through the Room of Requirement, a way to quickly leave Hogwarts.

There is also Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, which is also a very hidden road that can lead to outside Hogwarts, and it is even more secret than this road.

As long as you enter the Forbidden Forest through Spark's lair, you can disapparate and leave. By the time others notice it, the traces of magic in the air will have long since disappeared, making you extremely safe.

Feeney finished talking and turned to look at the portrait.

"Ariana, please,"

The girl in the portrait nodded, turned around and walked behind her. Following her footsteps, the scenery in the portrait was constantly changing until a door appeared in front of her. She opened the door. The secret passage behind the sub-portrait was also opened.

"Ariana is Dumbledore's sister. I will tell you the specific situation when I have the chance. However, she can come back here and the Room of Requirement. She can also be used temporarily to deliver messages when needed. However, it needs to be noted that this There were some problems while the painting was being made and Ariana couldn't speak."

While introducing a few people, Feeney returned to Hogwarts through the tunnel.

After parting ways with several people, he came to the principal's office. Letters were intercepted and opened, and Hogwarts' external communication channels were monitored. These things needed to be told to Dumbledore.
