The day of the duel at Hogwarts

Chapter 144 Snape's Illusion
Fudge looked at the corpses covered with white cloths on the side, with a rather ugly expression on his face.

Hogwarts is the only magic school in the UK, and it is also one of the best in Europe. Near such a magic school, such an extremely vicious case happened. With some status and influence, this is definitely not a good thing for Fudge.

Even in the depths of Fudge's heart, he very much hoped that this incident would happen within Hogwarts, so that the responsibility of the Ministry of Magic would be minimized, instead of the current situation where the responsibility of the Ministry of Magic occupies the majority, Hogg Woz was a secondary liability, a huge blemish on Fudge's future political career.

At this moment, Fudge saw Dumbledore and Snape rushing from Hogwarts, and immediately curbed the thoughts in his mind, and quickly came to Dumbledore, saying: "Dumbledore, You are here, what did the surviving student say about this incident?"

"Mr. Cotton is currently resting in the Hogwarts school hospital. He is seriously injured. What happened this time was that Mr. Cotton and others were having a private gathering. As a result, they encountered a dark wizard hovering nearby. In the end, the conflict escalated and caused heavy casualties. At present, those dark wizards have escaped. According to Mr. Keton, the appearance and name of the other party have been basically determined, and the specific information is here."

Looking at the parchment handed over by Dumbledore, Fudge's eyes lit up. A vicious case is certainly a big problem, but if the murderer can be solved and arrested in a short period of time, coupled with proper guidance of public opinion, it may not be possible to become a big problem. Good thing, but at least my political career will not be affected too much by this incident.

Looking at Fudge in front of him, even if Dumbledore didn't use Legilimency, he could roughly guess what Fudge was thinking, but Dumbledore didn't care about it, as long as Fudge didn't make mistakes in the general direction, he wouldn't go What do you mind, besides, he didn't say all of what he said just now.

When we were at Hogwarts just now, Dumbledore first notified Fudge of the incident here, and told him the specific location. At the same time, he asked Barrett what happened this time, and Barrett didn't hide much. The fact that they worshiped Voldemort with Dicky told Dumbledore, and those dark wizards also came because of this, and there was a conflict during the assembly, which caused this fight.

Considering that it was related to the worship of Voldemort and the protection of Barrett, Dumbledore did not tell Fudge the truth of the matter. At least in terms of protecting the students, Dumbledore was quite competent, although some students In fact, there is no need for protection.

Fudge's Aurors searched the mountains in groups, but Marlowe's follow-up process was really too clean, and they didn't find any noteworthy clues at all, and this was also Marlowe's plan, as long as they couldn't find any clues If there are other clues, then we can only rely on Barrett's confession.

In this way, they will inevitably fall into the investigation route arranged by Marlowe according to Sean's order, and eventually find the two black wizards who were abandoned, and when they were arrested, they were fiercely resisted by the two black wizards. The ending is either that the two dark wizards are killed, or they commit suicide, thus ending the whole incident.

Dumbledore and Fudge talked about this case together. Fudge kept asking Dumbledore what he should do, and Dumbledore also conveyed his views to Fudge.

Snape looked down on Fudge, a political bureaucrat. He left Dumbledore's side and checked the scene. The fact that he was a Death Eater before may be a secret to most wizards, but for the proud people at the scene Luo said it was absolutely nothing new, so even though Snape was the Potions professor at Hogwarts, most of the Aurors present ignored him.

Of course, with Snape's personality, he didn't mind talking to these Aurors.

Before walking to those corpses, Snape didn't want to look at them at first. He liked Potions, not forensic science. Besides, these corpses were also burned by things like flames. I didn't intend to continue watching.

But just as Snape was about to leave, two staff members of the Ministry of Magic were using magic to lift the body of a Hogwarts student. Unfortunately, one of them was too tired and accidentally failed to master the magic, causing the body While being floated up, he turned around on the spot and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse. This scene happened to be seen by Snape.

Originally, Snape was still mocking these officials from the Ministry of Magic with brains like trolls, but when he looked away, he happened to see the wound on the neck of the corpse, and his complexion changed slightly, but Snape didn't He didn't step forward to check anything, his eyelids drooped slightly, and Snape returned to Dumbledore's side as if he didn't see anything.

At this time, Dumbledore just finished talking with Fudge and was about to go back to deal with the aftermath.

The four people who died were all students of Hogwarts after all. Even if they didn't die in Hogwarts, the murderers were all those dark wizards. However, Hogwarts still has certain responsibilities after all, and the corresponding aftermath needs to be dealt with. Dumbledore to deal with.

Snape followed Dumbledore back to Hogwarts without saying a word.

Under the effect of Occlumency, even Dumbledore couldn't easily see through what Snape really wanted to hide. As usual, the two separated after returning to Hogwarts.

Snape returned to the Hogwarts dungeon without any abnormality, but he did not return to his office immediately, but went directly to the warehouse behind the Potions classroom, opened a cabinet in the corner of the warehouse, After searching, I successfully found my old textbook from school days.

After careful inspection, Snape found that there was still a layer of dust on the textbook, and it didn't look like it had been turned over by someone, so he swept the dust on it, put it in his arms, and muttered: "No It looks like someone flipped it, so there is no other way for my magic to flow out. How can I put it, was it my illusion just now?
Or it might be some other black magic, plus the body was burned, it looks similar...

I should be overthinking, but this book can no longer be placed here. Last time when I packed things, I put it in the cabinet. This time I have to find a place to put it away. "

　Good night everyone
