Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Upon hearing this, the others looked up and saw only vague figures outside the castle.

They immediately picked up their wands, aimed them at themselves and cast the "supersensory spell" to amplify their vision.

After a while, they could see the people below clearly. There were several wizards wearing light blue wizard robes.

There was also a wizard who was very tall, like a giantess.

Hermione said, "I saw the emblem on their wizard robes. It's the logo of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. The accident happened just the day before yesterday, and they're here just two days later."

Ron asked, "Who is that giantess, and does she know Hagrid?"

Hermione said immediately, "It should be the headmaster of Beauxbatons, Madam Olympe Maxime. She is a half-giant, nearly 4 meters tall. The students of Beauxbatons love her very much and say that she is a very good headmaster."

Harry asked, "Was the press conference so noisy that even the headmaster of Beauxbatons came?"

Lin Xia then said: "You don't know what happened next. After we left, Hogwarts checked the scholars who attended the press conference and found a Death Eater among them.

The Death Eater was disguised as Professor Fina Owen of Beauxbatons. The professor was a local noble with a high status and was very popular among students. Now that she had fallen into the hands of the Death Eaters, she was probably in great danger.

I'm afraid Beauxbatons came here specifically for this matter. They want to investigate Professor Fina's whereabouts."

After hearing this, everyone was silent.

Harry said: "The Death Eaters are the most evil wizarding group I have ever seen. If I had the power, I would definitely eradicate this organization!"

Lin Xia glanced at Draco, who had an expressionless face, and said, "Study hard, we will have the opportunity to fight against the Death Eaters in the future."

Madame Maxime came in a hurry this time, bringing only a few professors who were good at tracking magic. They entered the lobby on the first floor of Hogwarts Castle and were personally greeted by Professor McGonagall and a group of professors.

"I am very sad, ma'am," Professor McGonagall took the initiative.

Madame Maxime's eyes were slightly red. She took a deep breath and said calmly, "I want to know where Fina is now. Let's find her first and talk about other things later."

McGonagall led them to the magic elevator and said in the elevator: "Dumbledore is waiting for you in his office."

Madam Maxime's tone was a little cold. "Why bother Headmaster Dumbledore with such a small matter? We can investigate it ourselves."

McGonagall understood her sadness and anger, and said, "Ma'am, when the headmaster heard about this, he was very sad and rushed here from the Ministry of Magic. He wanted to discuss with you in detail how to find the person. Hogwarts will provide all its strength for Beauxbatons."

After hearing this, the expression on Madame Maxime's face eased a little.

When we arrived at the headmaster's office, Professor McGonagall said, "Go in and talk to the headmaster first."

Maxime walked into the headmaster's office, and the people behind her wanted to follow, but were stopped by the Hogwarts professors.

Maxim gave them a look and asked them to stay where they were.

In the headmaster's office, Dumbledore was looking down at the Pensieve.

Maxim walked up to him and asked anxiously, "Dumbledore, what can you do? Since arriving in England, I have asked the professor who is good at tracking magic to keep looking for Fina, but there is no movement."

Dumbledore looked at her and shook his head. "After knowing the disguised identity of the Death Eater, our professors have been looking for Professor Fina, but they have also found nothing."

He waved at Maxim and said, "Come, take a look. This is the route Fina took to get to Hogwarts. She passed through four small countries along the way, one of which was a country that had been at war for many years. It would be the most difficult to investigate if something happened in this country."

Maxim looked down and saw that the Pensieve had transformed into Professor Fina's path.

She frowned. "But she contacted me every day when she left, and even sent me magic calls. She kept in touch with me even when she came to a war-torn country. Could it be that something went wrong after she came to England?"

Dumbledore said calmly: "No, Maxim, think about it carefully.

It's normal to be able to get in touch with you after passing through other small countries, but the magic magnetic field in this place of war-torn country is disordered. Even if I go there, I can't get in touch with people 100% accurately. "

He asked back: "Then how did she contact you? Is Professor Fina's magic power so profound?"

Maxim couldn't help but be stunned.

Dumbledore looked at her with his azure eyes: “Before she went to the war-torn country, she had been replaced. The one who contacted you later was the Death Eater who stole her memory.

After that, everything she said was unbelievable. Although you maintained a magical communication, your voice, appearance, and demeanor could be disguised. You couldn't see where she was, and she could find a place with a similar background to fool you. "

Maxim closed his eyes slightly, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart.

If Fina was really replaced in a place like War-torn Country, she would probably be...

Maxim didn't dare to think about it any further, she would rather Fina was just missing!

Dumbledore said, "I want to show you the footage from the press conference, which details the demeanor and movements of Professor Fina's pretender."

You have to watch the video, otherwise whether Professor Fina was disguised or accidentally injured by Hogwarts all depends on a word from Hogwarts.

In the wizarding world, Hogwarts cannot be so domineering.

Madame Maxime buried her head in the Pensieve and watched everything at the press conference.

She not only paid attention to Fina, but also observed other scholars, perhaps she could find a clue from them.

Suddenly, Maxim noticed a scholar who looked a little strange.

The scholar was sitting behind Fina. Although he pretended to be listening to the press conference seriously, he was actually staring at Fina out of the corner of his eye. His legs were shaking from time to time, and he looked a little anxious.

Madame Maxime looked up and immediately said the scholar's name.

Dumbledore looked at the Pensieve for a long time and noticed something strange about the scholar. He said:
"I have sent people to investigate. After leaving the press conference, he did not return to his residence, but immediately went abroad. However, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic reacted quickly, and the man was arrested by the Aurors as soon as he was about to enter another country."

Dumbledore leaned slightly to the side and the wall rolled over, revealing the bound scholar, his mouth gagged.

When the man saw Madame Maxime, his expression changed drastically and he kept shaking his head.

Madame Maxime angrily used magic to remove the rag from his mouth, "Tell me, what do you know!"

A strong wave of magic surged, and the man began to tremble in panic: "No, I didn't, I don't know anything, I didn't mean to get involved.

I just happened to see her wand, and then I started talking to her, and then I found out that she was not Professor Fina.

The wand she used was not the wand that Professor Beauxbatons would use. Instead, it was the wand that was more commonly used by dark wizards. When the Death Eater found out that I had seen through his disguise, he threatened to kill me. I was forced to swear to keep it secret before he was let go.

But actually I don’t know who he is, I haven’t even seen his true appearance, even if you give me a potion to break the oath, it won’t work, I don’t know anything, I really don’t know anything…”

Dumbledore added, "We have given him a potion to break his oath. He really doesn't know who the Death Eater is. He just thinks that he is a dark wizard who wants to sneak into Hogwarts and steal things."

All Death Eaters are Dark wizards, but the group of Dark wizards is broad and there are others besides Death Eaters.

Some black wizards are not good at production and only want to steal; some black wizards have committed murder and hide their identities to escape arrest; and some black wizards simply think that white wizards are hypocritical, so they would rather be a black wizard. There are all kinds of people in the black wizard community.

Maxim put his magic wand against his throat and asked him fiercely: "What else do you know? What else did you hear? Tell me!"

"Crystal ball!" The man closed his eyes in fear and said tremblingly, "He also has a crystal ball. I secretly used the eavesdropping charm to hear him talking with the crystal ball!"

"On Christmas Day, they will go to Hogsmeade to start a civil strife and light the Death Eater Mark in the air, announcing that the great Dark Lord will soon be resurrected and return!"

After these words came out, Maxim looked a little dazed and took a step back.

But she was a female giant who was 4 meters tall. Even if she just took a small step back, it felt like the giant was about to collapse.

"The Dark Lord...it's actually the Dark Lord..."

Dumbledore was standing next to her. He had known the news for a long time, but he did not react at all.

He turned to look at Maxim with a serious expression: "Please stay a few more days, we need to hold an urgent meeting."

By the time Ron had his last Magical Creatures class in the afternoon, he was still wondering how the people at Beauxbatons would handle the situation.

Ron's mind wandered, and he made a bold guess: "The professor was killed on his way to the Hogwarts paper presentation. Will they cause trouble for Hogwarts?"

It had rained some time ago, and the Forbidden Forest was a little damp, with occasional puddles of water on the ground. The little wizards walked to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, taking one step forward and one step back.

Ever since Hagrid became the professor of Care of Magical Creatures, he has been taking them to study outside the castle, not only to better experience nature, but also to let the little wizards see real magical creatures that come alive from books.

This method of teaching is dangerous, as magical creatures will not be friendly to human wizards, even if they are not hostile.

But thanks to Hagrid's strong affinity for creatures, none of the magical creatures he captured for class were dissatisfied.

Under Hagrid's guidance, he would occasionally interact with the little wizards.

Every interaction would cause the little wizard to be amazed.

Hermione rolled her eyes at his speculation: "It's not like Hogwarts forces her to attend. If they're worried about the danger, they don't have to come.

Our professors often go to other places to exchange ideas about magic. If someone is killed during an exchange, should we also blame the organizers for holding such an exchange?"

Lin Xia said: "No one wants death to happen, Ron, but we can't avoid death."

Ron shrugged. "I was just worried that Beauxbatons was unreasonable. You said even the headmaster came here. This matter is probably very serious."

Draco said calmly, "That's not something we should worry about. If the sky falls, there are still professors to hold it up. It's not our turn as students."

We've arrived at the Care of Magical Creatures classroom!

"Welcome to the last class!" Hagrid said warmly and cheerfully.

He held an upside-down colorful chicken in his hand. Seeing the little wizard staring at his chicken without blinking, Hagrid explained: "This is the food I prepared for the hippogriffs. They like to eat chicken, but I only give them a snack occasionally."

He quipped: "If we let them eat freely, there won't be any chickens left in the Forbidden Forest."

"Okay, little wizard, let's not waste time. Take out the Billywig worms you raised. I will check them one by one and then give you a score."

Hagrid looked around and saw Harry. His eyes lit up and he said, "Harry, you guys help me maintain order. I'll take care of this chicken first."

As soon as Hagrid left, the little wizards started chattering about what they were doing. They were all looking at the Billywig worms that others were raising.

"Why is your insect missing a pair of wings?"

"I was collecting its naturally fallen wings and saw one pair of wings stuck on the newly grown wings and refused to fall off, so I couldn't help but pluck it out.

I ended up accidentally pulling off both the old and new wings, so it's only got a single piece left."

"Are you still a Billywig worm? How come you are so fat? I don't dare to feed my worm too much, for fear that it will eat too much and die by accident."

"I didn't control its diet on purpose. I would just add more food when I saw it had finished eating, and it got so fat accidentally.

But it's OK, you see it can still fly, just a little slower and a little lower."

……

Harry and the others were also observing the Billywig worms raised by their friends.

Hermione and Lin Xia raised the best, Ron and Harry raised them averagely, and Draco's Billywig worm was raised very standardly, but too standardly, as if it was just the same as when he got it.

Ron asked Draco about his experience in raising insects. He felt that being able to raise insects as if they were not raised at all was also a skill.

Draco whispered, "Have you been too busy with experiments recently? I completely forgot that I had to keep Billywig worms, so I bought a new one from someone else."

Ron's eyes lit up, and he whispered, "If I had known this method, I wouldn't have come back to the dormitory so tired every day, and I wouldn't have to take good care of them, and I would have changed a new worm like you."

"Everyone, please line up and let me check your Billywig worms one by one. This is your final exam, and the condition of the worm will determine your grade."

Hagrid came back and changed his clothes. He looked a lot fresher, but also limited.

His tall figure was wrapped in a moleskin coat, and his unkempt beard was carefully trimmed, but there were still some crumbs of feed for the blasting-tailed skrewts on his cheeks.

Every time he checked a little wizard's homework, he would pat the student's back with his rough hands to give them encouragement.

Although it was painful, every student who was photographed was very happy.

Well, except for Slytherin.

But they were already used to Hagrid's way of teaching. His classes always had a chaotic vitality.

"Well, you're a little fat, but I can see that you're well-fed and have excellent test scores!"

"How come half of your wings are missing? Don't make this mistake again next time. I hope you will get excellent grades in the exam!"

Soon it was Draco's turn, and Hagrid was observing his bug carefully.

"You Billywig worm..."

Draco's heart skipped a beat.

"It looks quite iconic, which is the ideal state for a bug. Excellent result!"

Hagrid patted his shoulder heavily, and Draco felt relieved, thinking that Hagrid was a very good professor, and he shouldn't reject Hagrid's field class! (End of this chapter)
