Chapter 115
An acquaintance was also there, Rufus Scrimgeour, Head of the Auror Office.
They hurried over, and John could see that Fudge's face was not good, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a trembling handkerchief.
He was also scared. He really didn't expect dementors to break into Hogwarts.
That was a school, and behind it stood the entire British wizarding family.
If those families knew about this, they would probably unite to protest against themselves, the Minister of Magic.
He was afraid. He was used to this hard-won power.
John saw Fudge entering the principal's office in a hurry, and then John received a notice asking him to go to the principal's office.
As soon as he entered the office, John saw Dumbledore's face, which was the most angry and serious he had ever seen.
Fudge's eyes lit up when he saw John. He walked out at a speed that was not suitable for his big-bellied body, and excitedly grabbed John's hand and shook it.
"Are you John Wick, the man who stopped the Dementors?"
"Thank you so much. You prevented a tragedy and at the same time restored the reputation of the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic will never forget your kindness."
Fudge said this, extending an olive branch, with a smile on his face, and the sweat on the tip of his nose almost fell.
"If you are willing, I can send you an invitation after you graduate. The Ministry of Magic needs talents like you."
As he spoke, he secretly looked at Dumbledore with his eyes.
It seems that wooing himself is not necessarily true, but wooing Dumbledore is definitely true.
Rufus Scrimgeour looked calm and turned a blind eye to Fudge's actions.
John looked at Dumbledore, with disappointment in Fudge on his face.
Fudge did something wrong. As long as he was devoted to the wizarding world, Dumbledore would be his biggest backer.
It's a pity that everything he did was to keep his power. It was right for him to push the envelope on this matter and make Dumbledore disappointed with him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, Principal Dumbledore is looking for me." A perfect fake smile appeared on his face, and John took his hand away.
He came to Dumbledore, who turned his attention to John, with a look of relief on his face, "John, we need you to describe the whole process."
John nodded, and then explained everything from finding the dementors rushing into the Quidditch field to how to subdue them.
He looked calm throughout the whole process, as if he had done nothing serious.
Fudge's expression became increasingly ugly, and John didn't mind giving the Minister of Magic a little extra kick.
He said calmly: "I think the Dementors may have not suppressed their nature because of their joy in Quidditch."
Leaving students' safety to dementors is like letting a greedy cat guard the fish.
Dumbledore nodded slightly and looked at Fudge.
John didn't need to participate in what happened next. Dumbledore could be said to have used a scolding tone to make Fudge lose his face.
In the end, the two parties broke up unhappily, and John watched the whole process, with a light emerging inside.
"This is an opportunity."
Fudge was so incompetent that he could even be said to be a pig teammate, causing all sorts of trouble after Voldemort was resurrected.
In this case, John is ready to see if he can pull the minister down in advance.
Rufus Scrimgeour was not blamed, and he remained resolute in using Aurors to control the Dementors.
It's a pity that Fudge thought it was a power grab, so he didn't give him a chance.
After this incident, John knew his opportunity had come.
He wrote a dozen letters and sent them out, each of which would find its way into the hands of a pureblood or influential person.
With these people attacking together, even if the Minister of Magic made no mistake, he would still have a headache, not to mention the current situation where Fudge is in the wrong.
…
the next day.
The dementors were taken away. The more than twenty dementors were not as active as before, and some of the dementors even had their clothes one size too short.
Rufus Scrimgeour meets with Professor McGonagall, promising that the Dementors will be punished.
There was confidence in his words because Lord Johnny Silverhand promised to help him.
That night, after he and Fudge left Hogwarts, he saw Fudge being hastily called back to his office.
Soon, Fudge heard the sound of furious smashing.
It should be Mr. Johnny Silverhand who contributed.
This made him happy, because he had also been unhappy with Fudge for a long time.
Who wants to be pressured by someone who can be the master of the family?
Before Harry woke up, he fell at least 50 feet.
At night, John looked up to the sky.
After the storm, the sky was clear and cloudless, and a full moon hung on it like a jade plate.
The time has come.
John took out the mandrake leaf and put the leaf into his mouth.
The journey of the Animagus officially begins.
Although he couldn't speak, John had a solution.
He took out his wand and passed it through the air. Wherever he passed, red sparks remained in the air.
The mark appears.
You can communicate with people this way.
To the outside world, all he had to do was declare that his throat was swollen due to excessive consumption of magic power yesterday.
There is no disease in the magic world, and this kind of thing might happen.
After the full moon, Harry woke up.
He was heartbroken that the team lost because of him.
This was not the first time, especially for Wood. He stood in the rain and wanted to drown himself.
This is Wood's last year, and he has never been able to win the trophy despite his passion for Quidditch.
Harry thought it was bad enough, but life was never the worst.
His Nimbus 2000 was blown by the wind to the Whomping Willow, and the Whomping Willow directly tore the broom into pieces.
His companion of three years was gone, and Harry was in a terrible mood.
There was a steady stream of people visiting Harry, and John also brought him a box of cockroaches.
"John, what's wrong with you?" Hermione looked at John in confusion. He didn't say a word the whole time.
John pointed at his throat, and then used Mark Appearance to write down the reasons he had thought of.
Hearing that it was caused by saving him that day, Harry felt even more guilty.
…
Chapter 133 Lu Ping comes back and asks for leave
Because he could not speak, John received fewer points.
Lu Ping came back from the full moon. Although his face was still not very good, he put on a smile.
When the students saw their favorite Professor Lupin return, they all complained about Snape's actions.
Malfoy was a little dissatisfied. He didn't like Professor Lupin. Only Professor Snape was the best.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts course was not boring, and John's silent spell made Lupine look at him in a new light.
This is a method of casting spells that can only be learned in the sixth grade, and John has mastered it skillfully in the third grade.
At the same time, Lupine's eyes fell on John's hand.
He stared at John's ringed hand, as if he wanted to see something.
"Is not it?"
Although the rings are similar in style, they are in different colors.
And one more thing, the ring is worn on the right hand, not Johnny Silverhand's left.
With doubts in his heart, Lupine deliberately found John after class and asked casually, "When did you wear the ring?"
John glanced at Lupin in surprise, his wand writing quickly in the air.
"Gift."
Lupine was startled, and then thought that Halloween had just passed.
This reason was reasonable, but Lu Ping always felt that something was wrong.
He had heard of John's glorious deeds, using the Patronus Charm to fight off the dementors, which he had seen on the train.
"Am I overthinking it?" Lu Ping frowned and fell into deep thought.
One of the biggest characteristics of dark wizards is that they cannot use the Patronus Charm.
This is a common understanding of everyone.
Based on Lupine's understanding of Johnny Silverhand, that man was ruthless and had an extremely evil curse. He was definitely a dark wizard.
Being able to use the Patronus Charm is enough to prove that John is not.
But Lupine suspected that John might have some connection with Johnny Silverhand.
Having contact with that person made Lu Ping feel a little uneasy.
"Perhaps Sirius's escape has something to do with him."
Thinking of Snape's words, combined with what he had seen Johnny Silverhand do before, Lupine felt that it was really possible to do it.
Lord Johnny Silverhand.
A benevolent man who created a foundation for a cursed little wizard.
Everyone thinks so. Only people like Lu Ping who have seen cruel methods don't think so.
That is a man with obvious ambitions. He will be a good friend and a terrible enemy.
Lupine said worriedly: "I don't want you to have anything to do with that man, John."
Whether as a teacher or an ordinary passerby, Lu Ping sincerely did not want his students to get involved with that person.
…
Potions class.
For the third time, John received an eye-roll from Professor Snape.
He could feel the resentment in his eyes, which made him curse: "You are a professor, so keep your character up. What's going on with this resentful look?"
Well, Snape felt aggrieved too.
He reminded him like that, but John's voice suddenly became hoarse.
You can't blame others. John became like this in order to repel the dementors and protect the eyes that were the same as Lily's.
It was because of this that Snape felt aggrieved.
With John's powers of observation, it must not be difficult to detect that Lupine is a werewolf.
That way, he could kick Lupine out of Hogwarts on the grounds that he was a werewolf, and he could also get rid of a guy who was suspected of being Sirius's spy. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
Too bad everything is broken.
John spent this lesson under Snape's resentful gaze.
Daphne was very worried, and she was even more anxious when she saw that John's usual habit of eating three bowls of rice at one go turned into half a bowl.
Because he was afraid of swallowing the mandrake leaves, John always drank the paste directly.
