Chapter 146 Overconfidence

[Dear readers, please give me a five-star rating! I will give you another five-star rating for another chapter! ]

"I think there are some nice refreshments in my office. Please follow me!" Dumbledore said, turning and walking towards the castle.

Rowling had no choice but to follow! Harry also came over at this time! Seeing that Rowling was safe and sound, he sighed deeply!

As soon as Rowling entered Dumbledore's office, Professor McGonagall, Snape and other professors also rushed over, including Filch!

Professor McGonagall was very serious and a little angry, but also concerned, and asked, "Mr. Rowling, I need you to explain it carefully!"

At this moment, Luo Lin was very touched. He didn't expect that so many professors cared about him!

Without hesitation, Rowling used his magic wand to extract a piece of memory and injected it into the crystal ball! The fragments of him following Peter Pettigrew after hearing the prophecy until he escaped emerged one by one!

Professor McGonagall and the others watched the scene in the crystal ball quietly. As the clips played, their expressions gradually became serious. When they saw Peter Pettigrew turning into a mouse and running away, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but exclaimed, "So that's how it is!" Professor Snape frowned and fell into deep thought. Filch stamped his feet in anger and muttered that he would strengthen patrols.

After the memory ended, all the professors fell into deep thought. Voldemort was still alive and hiding in another country!

Luo Lin sighed deeply and said, "Dear professors, this is what happened. I hope you can believe me. I did not violate the school rules intentionally."

Professor McGonagall said seriously, "Is this against school rules? Although your behavior this time is brave, it is too risky. If you encounter similar situations in the future, you should report to the professors first instead of acting on your own. That's Voldemort!"

"Minerva, I think we should not blame little Rowling! For something like this, I need to go to the Ministry of Magic and inform them of the situation!" Dumbledore said and was about to leave Hogwarts!

When Rowling heard this, his heart tightened immediately, and he shouted quickly: "Principal Dumbledore! I think it is difficult for the Ministry of Magic to believe such a thing. Compared with the magic world that is about to fall into panic, I think they hope that the current situation is safe and sound!"

Dumbledore and the professors looked at Rowling in surprise. How could he suddenly say such a thing? This was totally unlike the knowledge a student should have!

"Little Rowling, I don't think the Minister of Magic, Mr. Fudge, would be so foolish as to deal with such an important matter! He will definitely refer to my opinion!" Dumbledore said confidently!

Rowling secretly despised Dumbledore in his heart. Although Dumbledore was powerful, his understanding of the Ministry of Magic might not be as profound as his own. Those people in the Ministry of Magic not only had profit-oriented people, but also many so-called whitewashed Death Eaters. They cared more about their own interests and status, rather than the truth.

Rowling knew that if he told the Ministry of Magic about this, it would only cause more chaos and trouble.

Rowling shook his head helplessly and sighed inwardly: "Sure enough, overconfidence can blind a person's eyes! Does Dumbledore really naively think that if he pushes Fudge to the position of Minister of Magic, the other party will listen to him and obey him in everything?

It seems that the lesson of being dismissed from his post in the secret room incident did not teach him enough experience! "Thinking of this, Luo Lin couldn't help but shook his head secretly in his heart, with a helpless bitter smile on his face.

However, despite some dissatisfaction in his heart, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said solemnly to Dumbledore: "Since the headmaster has made a decision, I hope you will not reveal my information to anyone."

Hearing Rowling's words, Dumbledore nodded slightly, indicating his understanding and agreement. Then, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, child, I will never mention your name." After that, he turned and walked into the fireplace, and his figure gradually disappeared.

Just as Rowling was about to leave, Snape suddenly called him. Rowling stopped and looked back at Snape, who said seriously:

"It seems that even the omnipotent Mr. Rowling is afraid of being caught in the whirlpool of public opinion! I need some spiritual water." After saying that, Snape took out two bottles of magic-enhancing potions from his pocket and placed them on the table.

Rowling looked at the magic potion on the table, with a flash of surprise and emotion in his eyes. It seemed that Professor Snape had noticed the lack of his magic power and magic potion, and a warm current surged in his heart.

"Thank you, Professor Snape. I'll have the house elf deliver it to you!" Rowling said gratefully. He knew that although Professor Snape was strict on the surface, he was kind and caring about his students. Rowling cherished this care and support!

Professor Snape nodded, still maintaining a serious expression on his face, and turned and left!

Rowling returned to his dorm and quickly sent Dolly a message. However, not long after, Harry and the Weasleys came to his dorm, excited to share their experiences over the past few days.

Rowling looked at them and did not reveal any information about Voldemort. He did not want to cause unnecessary trouble or suspicion, so he just perfunctorily explained to them that this was just a simple trip.

"Okay, Rowling, I have to tell you a great news! Just as you predicted, Sirius Black was really wronged! The real murderer turned out to be Peter Pettigrew! What a pity, we let him escape." Harry excitedly recounted their thrilling experience.

Rowling opened his mouth in pretended surprise: "Oh?! It sounds amazing! Harry, you seem to have had a thrilling adventure!" He tried his best to look shocked, but there was no ripple in his heart.

Harry continued, "Yes, it's unbelievable! There is good news and bad news. Many wizard parents learned that Lupin was actually a werewolf, and they strongly demanded that the school change professors." His voice was full of disappointment and frustration, as if he had lost an important mentor.

Rowling nodded silently, indicating that he understood Harry's feelings. For Harry, Professor Lupin was not only an excellent teacher, but also a mentor and helpful friend in his life. Now, he had to face the reality of losing this special teacher, which would undoubtedly be a blow to him.

"Indeed, Professor Lupin's identity as a werewolf is bound to cause him to suffer a lot of prejudice!" Rowling added!

"There is one more thing. Hermione and I saved Buckbeak! We used a time-turner!" Harry talked incessantly about everything that had happened recently, and Rowling listened patiently!

As he was talking, Harry suddenly showed a hesitant expression, as if he had something to hide. Rowling was keenly aware of this, and quickly looked at Harry and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Harry? Did something happen?"
