Chapter 718 Dumbledore’s plan
Is this little bastard Wayne causing trouble again?
Snape sneered repeatedly, making Kingsley frown.
"Professor, you-"
"That's not some weirdo." Snape met Kingsley's questioning eyes, "That's Wayne, that's Batman."
Bruce Wayne, son of Gotham, Dark Knight, Batman, is a well-known comic character in the Muggle world.
However, Kingsley and the Aurors had never heard of it.
"Professor, are you kidding me? Bat-monster - Batman is Wayne? Is he the Vincent Wayne we know?"
Snape snorted, "That's the little bastard."
After speaking, he gritted his teeth and his eyes were full of hatred. Even a fool knew that they had a deep personal grudge.
Can you believe this?
Kingsley glanced at the Aurors beside him, "Professor, since Batman's true identity is Wayne, then who is Catwoman?"
Snape narrowed his slender eyes, "Granger has a pet cat, she must be Catwoman."
"Where's Red Hood?"
"Afraid to show his face... Then he is either Scamander or Diggory."
Kingsley couldn't help but lower his head and think.
What Snape said was not completely unreasonable.
Tonks often said that her younger brother was not simple, and now it seems that it is not impossible.
Kingsley was more polite, "Professor, do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence?" Snape's lips trembled slightly.
If there was evidence, he would have used it to deal with those little bastards. Why would there be any need to report it to the Aurors?
Seeing that he was speechless, Kingsley emphasized, "Professor, if you don't have definite evidence, then everything you just said is just your personal guess."
Snape's expression was particularly wonderful at this time.
I was filled with resentment and felt extremely uncomfortable, looking like I was constipated.
Kingsley's eyes became cold, "Professor, we have interviewed some students, and they all agreed that you are the elusive Batman."
The first grade fights against Quirrell... The second grade searches for Jomgande who is controlled by Parseltongue...
It was obviously Wayne, the little bastard who did it!
Being silent will only increase suspicion.
The Aurors all had evil eyes, as if they were ready to take down the suspect in front of them at any moment and seek justice for the three injured colleagues.
Even if Snape jumped into the Ganges this time, he wouldn't be able to clean himself.
In the afternoon,
Several students who naughtily broke into the dungeon heard a fierce argument in the potions office.
Oh boy, the rumors have escalated again.
"Snape is going to Azkaban."
"Ah? Why?"
"Isn't he that weird bat? The Aurors went to arrest him during the day, but he refused to cooperate. I heard there was a fight."
"Merlin's beard! Snape is probably going to be doomed!"
Fred and George looked at each other in the distance and left with satisfaction.
The rumors didn't come from them, they just slightly artistically processed it.
At this time, Snape was in the headmaster's office.
Dumbledore persuaded him kindly for a long time, finally suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Severus, remember to put the overall situation first."
Snape snorted and agreed.
Fudge wanted to interfere with Hogwarts, and Vincent deliberately gave the Aurors a good reason. The whole thing was starting to get complicated.
Dumbledore raised the corners of his mouth slightly and glanced at the comic book on the table, "Severus, I will tell Kingsley to stop."
Snape sneered, "Things had better go the way you want. I don't want to take the blame for this little bastard Wayne."
"If it goes well, we might even be able to lure out the guy who's been hiding."
Snape's pupils shrank instantly, and his entire face was filled with deep hatred.
He took a deep breath to stop the trembling of his hands, "Dumbledore, if Black appears, please let me deal with him personally."
Dumbledore shook his head and whispered, "Severus, you have to learn to let go of your hatred."
"Oh -" Snape sneered again and again, "I will get all the information you want before killing him with my own hands."
After saying that, he stood up and left with an extremely cold breath.
Dumbledore stared at his back silently.
Hatred can destroy a person, but it can also make a person successful.
And people who are driven by hatred are not only pitiful but also sad.

……
Ministry of Magic, Auror Office.
Scrimgeour frowned and put down Kingsley's latest report.
He pinched his eyebrows and sighed several times.
Sirius's search has yielded no news so far, and the Aurors sent by Hogwarts have been attacked by a group of weirdos.
If the matter was reported, Fudge would definitely transfer people to Hogwarts.
If Sirius succeeded because of this, he, the Director of the Auror Office, would definitely be the one to take the blame.
"Alas - I can only take one step at a time..."
Scrimgeour stood up, opened the door, and walked slowly toward the minister's office.
"Knock Knock-"
"Come in."
Fudge was in a good mood, after all, nothing big happened recently.
But his good mood ended completely after hearing Scrimgeour's report.
"Batman? Catwoman? Red Hood?"
Fudge looked like he had seen a ghost, "Rufus, are you kidding me?"
Scrimgeour's face was serious, "Mr. Minister, the report came from Kingsley. If the content has not been tampered with, I think it is probably true."
Kingsley has been doing his job since he entered the Auror office. He is a well-known outstanding cadre in the department, and it is unlikely that he would dare to exaggerate the facts without authorization.
So, is there really a Batman haunting Hogwarts?
"Any suspects?"
"Yes, many students think Professor Severus Snape is Batman."
"What about Catwoman and Red Hood?"
"There are no clues yet."
Fudge fell silent and tapped his fingertips on the table.
"Rufus, what do you think?"
Scrimgeour stood up straight, his eyes extremely firm, "I think we should wait and see what happens and take precautions."
Fudge shook his head, "Rufus, this will make the outside world think that our Ministry of Magic is weak and cannot even deal with small school ghost stories."
"Mr. Minister, our current focus should be on Sirius."
"Rufus, in addition to Batman, there is also Catwoman and the Red Hood." Fudge looked a little unhappy.
"They are Severus Snape's accomplices, and we must get to the bottom of this matter."
Scrimgeour's aura was much weaker, and his eyes were not as firm as before, "Mr. Minister, there is no direct evidence to prove that Professor Snape is Batman."
"There's no proof he's not, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Minister." His broad shoulders dropped.
I have tried my best, but still can't change the Ministry of Magic's decision to send more manpower to Hogwarts.
After all, he is just the director of a small Auror office, so how can he be compared to the Minister of Magic.
