Chapter 172 Dumbledore disappears! The Ministry of Magic is tough!

"Professor McGonagall, do you know the position of Headmaster Dumbledore?"

"We have found some problems with the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets and need his assistance in the investigation."

Alan Mitchell was neither humble nor arrogant.

He did not graduate from Hogwarts, and unlike most British wizards, he had an instinctive fear when seeing his former teachers.

His respect for Professor McGonagall was limited to her status as a professor and dean, and her fair and strict attitude.

"Headmaster Dumbledore is looking for a way to treat Harry and Ron, and is not in Hogwarts for the time being."

"If you have anything to do, you can come to my office to discuss, and don't disturb the little wizards in class."

Professor McGonagall noticed something was wrong.

But she had just come out of the office and didn't see the report in the Daily Prophet.

She just thought that the Ministry of Magic had noticed something.

She wanted to find Dumbledore and Argus to re-investigate.

Alan Mitchell didn't care about the sidelong glances of the little wizards in the castle hall.

To be precise, he came here this time to break the image of Dumbledore in the minds of the little wizards in Hogwarts.

"Professor McGonagall!"

"The Ministry of Magic found many scars on the basilisk that did not match the description of Headmaster Dumbledore."

"Moreover, according to our investigation, there were more than just Mr. Grindelwald and others in the Slytherin Chamber that night!"

"You should know what I mean."

As soon as these words came out, Professor McGonagall felt something was wrong!

She was someone who knew part of the truth, and subconsciously thought that the Ministry of Magic had really found something.

The little wizards around heard what Alan Mitchell said, and then looked at the report of the Daily Prophet on the table.

Although Alan Mitchell did not say it explicitly, his words hinted at it.

The Slytherin Chamber incident was related to Dumbledore!

The little wizards only felt that the beliefs they had held for many years began to collapse.

Why did Headmaster Dumbledore hide the truth?

Could it be that he really allowed the basilisk to hurt students in order to keep his position as the headmaster, as the Daily Prophet had written before?

The eyes of the little wizards changed instantly, and they looked up at the headmaster's seat.

The respect in his eyes was gone as when he entered the school.

Although it has not been confirmed that Dumbledore did these things, the seeds of doubt have been planted.

All that remains is to wait quietly for it to take root and sprout.

Professor McGonagall frowned: "Is the Ministry of Magic going to arrest Principal Dumbledore!"

"No, Principal Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts, the chairman of the Wizengamot, and the greatest white wizard of this century."

"We just want him to assist in the investigation, not to arrest him."

Alan Mitchell was explaining on the surface, but there was some dissatisfaction in his tone.

The meaning was very clear. If it weren't for Dumbledore's identity, he would never have been given the opportunity to assist in the investigation!

Dumbledore dared to act recklessly just because of his status in the magic world!

Professor McGonagall heard the implication of Alan Mitchell's words, frowned and shook her head.

His eyes swept to Argus not far away, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"You won't ask Mr. Grindelwald to help with the investigation, will you?"

Once they heard Professor McGonagall's question, the other young wizards in Hogwarts also became nervous.

Let alone the relationship between Argus and them, who hasn't received help from Argus during their time at Hogwarts?

Let alone anything else, just solving the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is enough to make most young wizards grateful.

Not to mention that he is now teaching the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for first and second graders!

"What does this have to do with Mr. Grindelwald!"

Colin, who has recovered from petrification, held his camera in front of Argus.

The thin and pale face was full of anger.

"Mr. Grindelwald is the hero who saved Hogwarts! I will never allow you to take him away!"

"That's right!" Justin was a little timid, but he also stood up.

"If you want to take Mr. Grindelwald away, take us with you!"

Some other petrified students also stood up one by one.

Although they didn't speak, they had already shown their attitude with their actions.

In fact, there was one thing that this group of people didn't say in their hearts.

Argus was only twelve years old, how could he do such a thing to play tricks on the entire British wizarding world!

Even if there was really a problem, even if everything was under Dumbledore's surveillance, he might not be able to find it!

Before, it was Argus who protected them and eradicated the basilisk for them.

Now, it's his turn to protect Argus!

Alan Mitchell didn't expect the people of Hogwarts to react so strongly, nor did he expect that his boss's popularity in Hogwarts was so high.

He hurried to explain, fearing that he would cause public outrage.

"Don't worry, little wizards, we haven't found any evidence that Mr. Grindelwald was involved."

"He won't be taken away."

"Everyone, thank you for your kindness." Argus stood up and stopped everyone from continuing to stop Alan Mitchell's behavior.

He knew that there was only one person targeted by the whole thing, and that was Dumbledore.

It was impossible to burn the fire on himself.

Alan finally brought the Aurors here, and such a good opportunity couldn't be ruined by the little wizards of Hogwarts.

He continued to comfort the young wizards, "Don't worry, the Ministry of Magic is also acting in accordance with the laws of the wizarding world and will not arrest people indiscriminately."

Turning to look at Alan, "Mr. Mitchell, if the Ministry of Magic really has something to investigate, I am willing to cooperate."

"Thank you Mr. Grindelwald for your understanding." Alan Mitchell walked down the stairs.

"Since Headmaster Dumbledore is not here, we will not delay the class time at Hogwarts."

"I hope Professor McGonagall can contact Headmaster Dumbledore earlier."

"If I can contact Headmaster Dumbledore, I will remind him." Professor McGonagall nodded.

But I felt a little more anxious in my heart.

"Goodbye!" Alan Mitchell achieved his goal and did not waste time.

Leaving openly.

"Okay, little wizards, although I admire your courage to stand up for your friends."

"But I still want to remind you."

"There is less than half an hour left before your first class. If you haven't finished breakfast, please speed up."

"Otherwise, you will have to go to class on an empty stomach."

Professor McGonagall did not punish Colin and others for their behavior, but showed some appreciation.

He looked up in the direction where Alan Mitchell left.

A trace of worry flashed across his eyes again.
