Chapter 105 Dumbledore’s Big Trouble

Daphne couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw the fragments of the crystal ball.

She whispered: "I didn't know how to release the nightmare inside. Voldemort was pressing hard at that time, so I broke it in desperation. Isn't this expensive?"

Very expensive? Les felt the temperature on his forehead rising. This crystal ball was beyond your description. But in the end, thousands of words turned into just a sigh: What else can be done? It's not easy to get angry at her, after all, he didn't tell her in advance how to operate this kind of thing.

He has to bear at least 80% of the responsibility, and he cannot tell Daphne due to various reasons. If he continued to hold it in like this, Les felt like he was going to die.

So he planned to tell Daphne the origin of the crystal ball - although he didn't intend to let the child pay compensation, he should still let her know what she dropped.

"This is a treasure left by Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the founders of the school."

Daphne:......

She was even more grateful that this was an ownerless treasure. Otherwise, if this crystal ball is taken outside, with its unique background and identity and the magical magic inside, it may be comparable to the Sorting Hat left by Gryffindor.

She lowered her head in shame and studied the lines of her socks.

After putting some pressure on Daphne, Les turned his attention to the remains of the crystal ball.

Maybe after Ravenclaw regains consciousness, he can fix it for himself? Such an idea came to his mind, and then a very ridiculous idea emerged: This crystal ball should still be within the warranty period, right? Because he remembered Rowena's promise that if it broke, he could ask her to fix it.

Isn’t this what a lifetime warranty means?

But you can’t rely on Rowena for everything. You can try it yourself first. What if it can be fixed? With this idea in mind, Les pointed at the fragment of the crystal ball and tried a simple repair spell.

Several fragments of the crystal ball suddenly came together.

"Fixed!" Daphne suddenly raised her head.

Les shook his head. He had only repaired a shell, and the spell inside had been destroyed. The current crystal ball may be able to store objects in it, but it's hard to say what will happen.

Suddenly, Les felt that one of the marks he had left was touched. He raised his eyebrows, turned to Daphne and said, "Someone is here, you can leave now."

"Eh?" Daphne didn't understand what Les meant.

"What I want is for you to take him and the red-haired boy and leave here as soon as possible." Les pointed at Harry on Nightmare's back.

He felt that the person who triggered his mark was most likely Dumbledore. He didn't want to see the current headmaster of Hogwarts at the moment, so he decided to speed up cleaning up the remaining traces of the scene.

"Okay." Daphne nodded blankly. As soon as she mounted Nightmare, Les slapped Nightmare on the butt.

Under the attack, Nightmare burst out at extremely fast speeds, almost throwing Daphne off her back.

When Daphne was about to leave the room, she heard a vague sentence coming from behind her that could not be heard clearly due to the interference of the wind——

"Let me show you the real water magic——"

After Nightmare ran out of the room with Daphne, Les pulled out his wand and stuck it hard on the ground. The next moment, the ground shook.

Rice knew that this underground building was actually only one wall away from the Black Lake. He only needed to gently seduce the water in the Black Lake, and he could divert the lake water back and submerge the classroom and the series of levels in the water.

Once it was filled with water, no trace was left.

"Forbidden Spell: Call the Tide!"

With the use of magic, vibrations spread from the ground to the entire room. Cracks began to appear on the walls, and the swamp mud was seeping out rapidly. Within a few seconds, a layer of one-inch thick water accumulated on the ground, and gurgling sewage flowed down the walls.

In the end, the walls and the ground could no longer hold on, and large areas of stone bricks collapsed, and large jets of water spewed out from the ground like a volcanic eruption.

boom! The lake water rushed into the underground classroom like a giant dragon, sweeping everything away and annihilating it.

Gulu gulu gulu——

A string of bubbles appeared on the surface of the calm black lake.

puff! laugh--

Les emerged from the Black Lake. He took two deep breaths of fresh air, cast a disillusionment spell on himself, then rose from the lake and flew towards the castle.

The hot summer sun and hot wind dried the water stains on his body. By the time he returned to the school hospital, his clothes were completely dry.

……

Dumbledore is in trouble.

The Ministry of Magic did send him an email, but unlike what he had arranged, this email was really urgent - Minister Fudge's tone in the letter was almost crying.

When Dumbledore hurried out of the school gate, he was very surprised to find Cornelius Fudge waiting for him outside the school gate.

As soon as they met, Fudge told Dumbledore a shocking news: Gringotts' curse breakers had created a big trap in northern Scotland.

Curse breakers are wizard employees of Gringotts. They are responsible for finding and excavating the relics left by ancient wizards. They can be said to be the masters of death in the wizarding world.

The incident began with a discovery by several senior Gringotts Cursebreakers in northern Scotland.

They found a ruin that was most likely left by the founders of Hogwarts, and after several years of persistent deciphering, they finally opened the entrance to the ruins. What's bad is that there are no treasures left by the founders in the ruins. What's waiting for them is a monster that has lost its mind - obviously, this ruins is a seal left by the founders.

When people from the Ministry of Magic received the news and rushed to the scene, all the curse breakers were dead, and more than a hundred Muggle villagers witnessed the battle.

This news came as a bolt from the blue to the Ministry of Magic.

After mobilizing all mobile forces, Fudge also came to Hogwarts to bring reinforcements. He hoped that Dumbledore could help them get rid of the monster wandering outside.

Dumbledore realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately set off to the scene of the accident. This is why he really missed Harry's "trial" - it's not that he is big-hearted or has great confidence in Harry, but he is really inseparable.

Worse developments were yet to come. Dumbledore finally succeeded in finding the monster that had escaped the seal. After fighting it, he was surprised to find that the monster's strength exceeded his expectations, and it could also use a very powerful weapon. The strange domain-like magic allowed it to retreat completely in front of Dumbledore.

At this point, Dumbledore's plan was completely disrupted. In a hurry, Dumbledore, who was eager to hunt down the monster, could only send a message to Professor McGonagall using his patronus, hoping that she could take over his duties.

When Professor McGonagall received the news, she felt like she was torn apart.
