Hogwarts: Where the Pokémon Are - #212 - Chapter 212 Xia Lin: I am the principal

“It’s all you Ron. If it weren’t for your bad idea, how could we have had to pick up Pokémon’s poop?”

Harry, who was all smelly, complained to Ron.

“And everyone was deducted fifty points.” Hermione was devastated. Just because of this incident, they were deducted two hundred points! After a while, when I return to the Gryffindor lounge, I wonder what kind of complaints I will get.

“At least I’m not expelled.” Neville breathed a sigh of relief.

“I only care about whether I can still have dinner now.” Ron sighed, rubbing his shriveled belly.

“Dinner? I guess all the house elves have rested.” Neville said, when they heard the bell, it was almost twelve o’clock.

The four people walked dejectedly in the corridor.

“Kill…kill someone…tear him to pieces…”

Harry suddenly shouted, making the other three jump to the side.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“That voice!” Harry said, turning his head and looking back. “I just heard it again – did you hear it?”

But Hermione and the others shook their heads.

“Harry, can you tell where the sound came from?” Neville asked quickly.

Harry immediately settled down and listened. The voice had gradually faded away, but it was still echoing.

“He passed me and then… went to the back!”

“Follow me quickly!” Neville shouted quickly, and the four of them rushed forward without even thinking about what to do if they really encountered the monster.

“This way! Go left! It’s going upstairs!” Harry said in a panic. It wasn’t that he felt scared, but that the monster was getting farther and farther away from him. If this continues, I’m afraid I’ll lose track of you!

Several people rushed up the stairs quickly. Neville stepped on a trap and almost fell down. Fortunately, Ron helped him.

But after a while, the monster had already run away.

When they ran to the bathroom door on the third floor, they only saw two stiff bodies lying in the wet shallow water.

“Percy?” Ron turned pale and screamed sharply.

“The other person is the prefect from Ravenclaw, why are they here?” Hermione said strangely. But now is obviously not the time to dwell on this, another victim appears, and one of them is Ron’s brother, Percy.

——He is a pureblood!

“Is that heir crazy?” Neville also felt crazy.

“Harry, where’s the voice? That voice!” Ron grabbed Harry’s shoulders excitedly, looking very angry.

“The sound disappeared…” Harry said guiltily. He felt that he had a responsibility, and if he remembered it faster, he might be able to save Percy and another student.

But it’s too late to say anything now.

“What’s the matter?”

A dark figure rushed out quickly, it was Lockhart.

Seeing the professor, Harry and the others seemed to have seen a savior: “Professor, someone was attacked again, it was Percy and -” He opened his mouth, but found that he did not know Penello’s name.

Lockhart pushed him away, knelt down and took a closer look at the two bodies that seemed to be frozen.

“It’s okay, they were petrified. We’d better take them to the school doctor’s office first, and then notify the principal. The attacker is getting more and more aggressive.” Lockhart stood up and said, but he looked confused, “I Remember, he is from the Weasley family, right? Doesn’t that person even spare pure blood? Or is it an accidental attack?”

“I don’t think it was an accidental injury.” Ron looked calmer, but he was already very worried. “You know that everyone in Slytherin cares about the pure-blood traitor who is the corner of the Weasley family. I think the other party probably started. Just identify us as the ones who need to be cleared out.”

“What nonsense. I never think anyone in the school should be eliminated!” Lockhart looked very angry. “Everyone is admitted into the school with the double guarantee of the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance, right? You are qualified and it shouldn’t be judged by that person!”

Harry felt that what Lockhart said was very reasonable, and he felt very angry at the unknown attacker.

“That makes sense, Gilderoy.”

Dumbledore arrived. Lockhart’s eyes flickered for a moment, and then he made room for Dumbledore.

“Principal, I think we must find the murderer immediately, and we cannot delay it any longer.”

“What you said makes sense, Gilderoy. It would be better if you are willing to help. As for you, it is best to go back to the dormitory early to rest. On days like this, don’t wander around.” Dumbledore cast He cast a levitating spell and took Percy and Penello away.

The four Harrys were also sent away by Dumbledore.

Little Barty looked at Dumbledore’s leaving figure, wondering whether he had discovered that he was the attacker.

If not, then the timing of Dumbledore’s appearance is too coincidental. But if he was discovered, how could he allow himself to help find the murderer?

“Forget it, after thinking so much, why not just drive Dumbledore away from the school!”

The next day,

News of the new victim spread from inside the school.

Cornelius Fudge’s face was not very good, and he hurried to school. However, he did not go to Dumbledore immediately, but went to Xia Lin’s office.

“I’m under a lot of pressure now!” Fudge took off his hat and wiped his sweat. He looked fatter than before, and his figure was now almost as tall as Harry’s uncle Dursley. Apparently he had eaten a lot of oil and water.

“Barty Crouch keeps urging me to find the murderer quickly, or else the school will be closed!”

“Barty Crouch? Didn’t it mean that he was sick at home and hadn’t gone to work for a long time?” Xia Lin asked.

“You know all about this?” Fudge was also a little surprised, but he continued, “Occasionally he still comes to see me. I think he wants to regain power! Since that incident more than ten years ago, you know – —If there is an opportunity to make meritorious deeds and increase the popularity of the banner, he will not let it go!

“Scrimgeour also wanted to add some more guards to Hogwarts, but I thought you might not be so happy, so I kept it down.”

Xia Lin nodded and did not continue talking.

In fact, he himself had no objection to the Ministry of Magic sending Aurors to the school. But he didn’t really want the Ministry of Magic to get involved in the school’s affairs.

“If we still can’t find the murderer, then my prestige will drop.” Fudge said, “I think it’s best to let that Hagrid go to Azkaban for a while, and then hurry up. Find the real murderer. Don’t worry, the Soul Eaters are all gone now, and we won’t let him suffer in Azkaban.”

“Fudge, I know what you think, but I think it is obviously unjust to send an innocent person to prison.” Xia Lin rejected Fudge’s proposal, but he also gave Abs an idea, “You Go back first and emphasize that you have reached an agreement with me and Dumbledore and will find the real attacker as soon as possible. I agree with you to send someone over, just – Tonks. By then the murderer will be caught, and there will be You deserve some credit.”

“Okay.” Fudge didn’t dare to show off his authority in front of Xia Lin, so he had to obey the arrangement honestly.

But he actually doesn’t hate the current situation.

Charlene, unlike Dumbledore, allows Fudge to have gray areas. Fudge is actually a typical Slytherin, his character is somewhat similar to Slughorn, but a little more cowardly.

For him, nothing matters, only interests and reputation.

On the one hand, he wants to be greedy, and on the other hand, he wants to be praised.

Xia Lin doesn’t care about his greedy side, as long as it’s not too outrageous, and as long as Fudge really drives the development of the Ministry of Magic, it’s actually pretty good.

“Yes, yes, about Dumbledore -” he suddenly stopped, “I heard from Lucius that someone seems to want him to leave the position of principal.”

“Oh?” Cyrus raised his eyebrows, “Malfoy never told me about this.”

“It probably happened not long ago, and he didn’t think he needed to tell you. It’s a good thing. If Dumbledore is no longer the principal, you are the most suitable one.” Fudge smiled, then put on his hat and left.

Xia Lin pursed his lips.

Make him the principal?

Isn’t that annoying?

Wait, the principal doesn’t seem to be in class?

He was suddenly eager to try.

“Barty Crouch? I told you which Death Eater had the chance to escape, and it turned out to be you.” Xia Lin finally understood, “But just driving Dumbledore out of the school would be too much. You look down on me so much.”

Lucius Malfoy came just a little later than Fudge, but he came in fear of the pyre.

“Mr. Gold, I want to know why the Chamber of Secrets was opened again?” Malfoy asked in panic.

When Voldemort gave him the diary for safekeeping, he told him that the diary could open the Chamber of Secrets. Now that the Chamber of Secrets was opened again, he thought that the haunting Voldemort was back.

Of course, this is actually the case.

“Don’t worry, Lucius. Dumbledore deliberately asked Voldemort to act. He wanted to train the young wizards’ abilities. Haven’t you noticed that Voldemort hasn’t been able to kill anyone yet?” Xia Lin said.

Hearing this, Malfoy was indeed relieved, but he still felt a little nervous.

“He asked me to keep the diary back then, but now there’s something wrong. I’m worried that he won’t let me go. What’s more, I still–“

“Don’t worry Lucius, if anything happens, I will be your secret keeper. And Draco, he is my student. If Voldemort wants to harm his life, it depends on my consent.”

Xia Lin knew that even her words of comfort might not be able to reassure Malfoy. His fear of Voldemort was already engraved in his bones. But such a promise made him say nothing more.

“Thank you, thank you-” Malfoy almost burst into tears.

“There is also the matter of the school board meeting——”

“Fudge mentioned it to me.” Xia Lin said, “He probably wanted to drive Dumbledore out and then deal with me. But he miscalculated my ability. Just follow his plan. Maybe it’s all right. Without my intervention, the students alone are enough to crush their conspiracy.”

In the afternoon, Xia Lin moved to the principal’s office.

“I can finally rest.” Dumbledore didn’t look sad at all, he was even very happy.

“Do you know? In fact, I wanted to travel a hundred years ago, but during these hundred years, I was almost trapped in school.” Dumbledore said with emotion. When he was young, he made appointments with several people to travel and gain more knowledge, but none of them came true in the end. Grindelwald is just one of them.

“Of course, this doesn’t mean that I don’t like Hogwarts. In fact, I like it here, and, you know, Aberforth complained a little about me, although I asked for it. But there is definitely a better atmosphere in school. Home is much warmer.”

Xia Lin nodded and agreed with him.

“Since you are so happy, I think you wouldn’t mind finding a companion for your journey, right?” Xia Lin conjured up a letter with a three-dimensional, capital red letter “R” pinned to the seal.

“Grinder, I’m going to look for the legendary Pokémon, but I don’t even have a helper so far. I think you wouldn’t mind helping me keep an eye on him?” Xia Lin gave him a step. But Dumbledore was very magnanimous.

He took the envelope with nostalgia and sigh in his eyes.

“I have been waiting for this opportunity for too long. Looking for the legendary Pokémon is like when we met to find the Deathly Hallows.” He laughed, but his eyes were full of pain.

Then he accepted the letter and put down the Elder Wand.

“I would also like to ask you to make me a new wand.”

“I have plenty of wands.” Xia Lin tried almost every Pokémon material to make wands. Among them, materials like Slowpoke are not very suitable, and the resulting wand is very slow. And some materials are too sensitive.

“Take it, it’s made from the fallen feathers of Roaring Moon.”

Dumbledore took the wand, immediately happily greeted the other professors, and then left. McGonagall and him were old best friends, and she knew all about Dumbledore’s unspeakable love, and was very reluctant to leave him.

But with Xia Lin here, she wasn’t too worried about school.

“Now, I am the principal!” Xia Lin’s office moved to another location, but he still kept the protected area in its original place. Now the reserve has almost become a weekly meeting place for trainers.

As for the breeding house and laboratory, Xia Lin plans to move them to Alola by then.

You only need to keep one switching machine here.

——

“This is definitely a conspiracy!” Hermione swore, “That man drove Dumbledore away! He thought no one could stop him.”

“But there is still a professor!” Ron and Harry were both puzzled. Charlene Gold was the one who drove Voldemort out of England.

“Maybe he thinks that now that he has a monster himself, he doesn’t have to be afraid of the professor’s Pokémon?” Neville guessed.

“No matter what? Now that Dumbledore has left, that person has one less obstacle. I believe he will definitely do something in the near future, such as launching the next attack! We must be vigilant and never let him succeed again. !”

And the fact is similar to what they guessed, little Barty is indeed planning to take action.
