Chapter 162

The truth is, it is not easy to make mistakes.

"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes."

Argus knew what Ginny was talking about and responded softly.

"Instead of hiding and worrying about the guilt, it is better to find a way to make amends."

"What if this incident causes my closest...other people to get hurt..." Ginny had the urge to tell Argus everything.

She changed her words when the words came to her lips.

Argus smiled: "You said it was hurt, and since it is hurt, it is possible to heal."

"Just feeling guilty is useless."

"If one day, I do something wrong and hurt you, will you forgive me?" Ginny's eyes were full of pleading.

She was even more afraid of Argus's answer.

She was afraid that he would say something negative.

Argus rubbed her head: "As long as you sincerely change, I will forgive you."

"The same goes for the people you hurt."

"Really?"

"Of course! Like I said, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and we can't let that person have no chance to change because of a certain mistake."

"I understand, thank you, Argus!"

Ginny's eyes flashed with light, and her eyes looking at Argus were full of dependence.

Wiped her red eyes.

Finally, a smile appeared on her face.

"Don't be so polite, I didn't do anything."

"Now, can you enjoy dinner with peace of mind?"

"Now that I mention it, I'm a little hungry."

...

St. Mungo's Hospital.

Dumbledore and Snape's expressions were extremely serious.

Staring at Harry and Ron who had just been fed the potion.

Their eyes were full of tension.

A bottle of potion emitting light green fluorescence was drunk by the two.

But the two of them just burped lightly, without any intention of recovery.

"Failed again. It seems that it is not easy to restore their memory and consciousness." Dumbledore sighed.

Snape said in a cold tone: "Lockhart, that idiot, is not very good at other spells, but he is good at the Oblivion Spell!"

"Forget it, I'll go to my old friend to think of other ways."

"No matter what, Harry can't get into trouble!"

Dumbledore knew very well that it was impossible to deal with Voldemort at his age.

Even if he could kill him again, it would only delay the time of his resurrection.

As long as the Horcrux is still there, he will be resurrected sooner or later.

At that time, the task of defeating Voldemort will still be placed on Harry.

"If our headmaster hadn't asked a twelve-year-old wizard to deal with the basilisk, how could this happen!"

Snape sneered and was extremely dissatisfied with Dumbledore's original decision.

Dumbledore also regretted his original decision.

If he had known that Harry was going to get into trouble, he would never have let Argus follow him alone.

Even if he didn't take action, he would have let Snape or other professors follow him.

With the professors present, at least Lockhart wouldn't have the chance to sneak attack!

"Severus, do you think Harry and Ron might have hurt their... souls!"

A trace of worry flashed across Dumbledore's eyes.

The soul level has always been a taboo in the magic world.

Even Dumbledore didn't dare to say that he was very proficient in this aspect.

Snape obviously thought of this, thought for a long time, and shook his head: "Lockhart shouldn't have this ability."

"No matter how strong his Oblivion Charm is, it is also limited by the level of magic."

"It's impossible to touch the soul level."

"I'll go find a few old friends to take a look. I'll trouble you to keep an eye on him these days."

Dumbledore has been running around for Harry's affairs these days, but unfortunately with little success.

There were a few people who could help Harry recover, but it took too long and was eventually rejected by Dumbledore.

Only left as a reference or alternative.

"There is one more thing I need to remind you, Headmaster."

Snape suddenly said: "Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is gone."

"But the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is still there, and the final exam is coming soon."

"Have you thought about the new professor?"

When this matter was mentioned, Dumbledore frowned even more.

Yes, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, it was a dereliction of duty to find Lockhart, a fake who caused students to be injured.

If he really couldn't find a professor at that time, he, as the headmaster, would probably be criticized by British wizards again.

But now, even if he wanted to find a professor, he would have to

It is not an easy task.

Not to mention that the students did not learn anything for the whole semester.

The bad reputation left by Lockhart alone is enough to make most well-known wizards stay away.

"If the headmaster can't find a candidate for a while, I can..."

"No!" Dumbledore refused without thinking.

"You already have Potions class, and you have to take care of Harry and Ron during this period."

"It's too tight to take care of Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

Snape's face darkened.

He guessed that Dumbledore would refuse, but he still wanted to give it a try.

Dumbledore's mind quickly passed through a series of figures, trying to pick out the right candidate.

Gradually, one candidate after another was abandoned by him.

"Severus, how much do you know about Alan Mitchell?"

"The new head of Auror? Is our headmaster old and confused?" Snape sneered.

"The Ministry of Magic is eager to put its hands inside Hogwarts, and now you are going to take the initiative to hand over a professor's position to them?"

Dumbledore was also very troubled: "Except for him, no one will be willing to take over this position in the short term."

"It is impossible to find just any wizard to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts."

He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Horace Slughorn!"

"He used to be the head of Slytherin, and also a potion master!"

"He is more than qualified to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts! Perhaps it will also help Harry and Ron's condition!"

"But he has been retired for decades and is hiding. It may not be so easy to call him out." Snape was very unhappy with this colleague who took his position.

He continued: "Besides, at his age, he probably doesn't have the energy to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for the entire Hogwarts."

"Don't worry, I've found a perfect assistant for him!"

"Let him take full charge of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for the first and second graders!"

"Perfect assistant? Full charge of the first and second graders?"

"Who?"

Snape didn't react for a moment.

He was a little confused about what Dumbledore meant.

Dumbledore stared into Snape's eyes.

He whispered the name.

"Argus Grindelwald!"
