Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 536: Destiny has changed, this is not the predetermined future

The relationship is not just bad, it looks like they are incompatible.

The old wizard spoke in an aristocratic tone, speaking slowly and calmly: "I have received news that Death Eaters have infiltrated the defensive rune formation, so an emergency investigation is required."

The Aurors who heard this couldn't help but frown, their expressions cold.

Out of trust in their companions, their first reaction was disbelief. They thought that the old man in front of them was deliberately trying to cause trouble and was making up an excuse.

The Auror said sternly: "We know our companions. If someone is really replaced by a disguise, we will definitely find it out at the first time. You don't need to worry about it!"

Lin Xia and others stood behind the old man and wisely did not speak.

This is an internal fight within the Ministry of Magic, and it would be inappropriate for outsiders like them to interfere.

The old man snorted coldly: "Then if something really happens to the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic later, can I assume that you are also one of the accomplices of the Death Eaters because you prevented me from investigating this time?!"

The other Aurors sneered, "We have absolutely nothing to do with the Death Eaters, you are slandering us!"

Old man: "If it's not related, then why do you want to stop us from investigating? Besides, I brought so few people with me, and they are not from the Ministry of Magic. Are you still worried that I will put you in danger?

Are you afraid that we will find out something, so you are hesitating? Or do you think I am a Death Eater?"

The old man's words were quite sharp.

Lin Xia looked at the reactions of the Aurors. They were all a little confused. One of the Aurors responded quickly and said:
"We don't have such thoughts, and we have never said that you are a Death Eater. You should blame yourself for what you have done, not us!"

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows. This Auror answered so quickly, as if he had been tricked by this kind of rhetoric before.

The old man sneered, "It's neither this nor that, neither this nor that... Then what do you want?
If you continue like this, you will let all the Death Eaters hiding among the Aurors escape!

We are just here to check with the Patronus Charm, we are not going to attack you, we are standing here, if we feel like attacking the Aurors, you can attack us at any time!"

Suddenly, the Auror guarding the node of the defensive magic rune array said, "Are you just going to check it with the Patronus Charm?"

The old man said proudly: "This is the fastest way to test. If anyone among you knows how to cast the Guardian Spell, you can join us in the test."

The Auror thought for a while and sent a message to the two wizards. After a while, two wizards walked out of the queue.

They said reluctantly, "We also know how to cast the Patronus spell and will join you in the inspection."

A wizard emphasized: "We have agreed in advance that this is just an inspection. You cannot cast an offensive Patronus Charm. If we find that any of you have attacked anyone, we will wave our wands at you immediately!"

The old man sneered: "Alright, hurry up and check. You guys are wasting your time."

With the addition of these two wizards, the subsequent inspection went smoothly.

Many Aurors in the queue did not trust the old man, but when they saw the two wizards following behind them, they were willing to let them use the Patronus Charm to check the team members inside.

Not only that, the wizards in the queue who knew the Patronus Charm also stood up and checked other queues with them.

As more and more people come, their inspection efficiency becomes faster and faster.

You don't know until you check, and you'll be shocked when you do.

There were no Death Eaters mixed in except for the first three queues checked. However, in the fourth queue, they saw someone screaming after being exposed to the Patronus Charm.

The accident happened suddenly.

The light of the Patronus Charm blew across the Aurors in the queue like a breeze. The Aurors who had no problems felt that this power was joyful and full of energy, which lifted their tired spirits.

At this time, the Aurors did not think that the Patronus Charm was released in order to find out the spies in the team, but thought that the Ministry of Magic was considerately using the Patronus Charm to relieve their mental stress.

I just don't know why he cast such a high-end magic as the Patronus Charm, when more ordinary magic could have the same effect without consuming so much magic power.

Until a scream was heard, and the Death Eater with black bugs mixed in his body was burned by the white light of the Patronus Charm. The skin on his face immediately festered and itched, and his hair fell off instantly, as if he had suddenly suffered a very cruel punishment.

The other Aurors then began to react - there was a spy among them!

Because the Aurors were divided into many small teams, each team was separated by a distance.

Therefore, only the queue where the problem occurred at that time understood what happened. The other queues could only hear screams and had not received any other news.

A Death Eater was captured, and even the most relaxed wizard in the inspection team couldn't help but look grim.

They felt heavy in their hearts, and even the arrogant old man had a grim expression.

If possible, he would rather not have any Death Eaters sneak in, as he would only be branded as someone who took advantage of his seniority and abused his power.

Lin Xia suddenly said, "We have to speed up our actions. We can keep the news secret this time since we caught the Death Eaters. But if we catch Death Eaters in other teams, the news will probably spread completely.

At that time, the Death Eaters who are mixed in might become desperate and attack other wizards first, causing the nodes of the defensive magic array to be lost, and then the magic array will become ineffective. "

"Yes, that's very possible!"

"We deliberately set up shielding magic when we were inspecting to prevent outsiders from discovering it?"

"Although this method is feasible, there are too many teams. Why don't we act in batches? We have so many people anyway."

The old man looked at the team behind him. At the beginning, there were only a dozen wizards.

But later, after each check of a queue, an Auror who knew the Patronus Charm would come out and join the check with them. At this time, the team had grown to 20 people.

The old man immediately made a decision and said, "We will divide into four teams, five people in each team, and go to check at the same time to speed up the action!"

A Patronus Charm team of five people is enough to complete the inspection of an Auror team.

This time, none of the wizards who came out of the Auror queue jumped out to refute the old man's words.

Even the elite Auror standing in the node in the queue they were testing did not say much, but quickly urged: "Hurry up and don't let those cunning Death Eaters escape!"

Draco and Hermione had been secretly observing the actions of the Aurors.

They found that the large group of people were divided into 4 small teams, and the testing speed was accelerated. They couldn't help but feel relieved.

Draco whispered, "At this rate, we will be able to check all the queues in ten minutes. Do we still need to continue using the Stunning Spell?"

Hermione shook her head: "No, leave this to them, we will go to the next place.

I saw a node in my dream, where many werewolves would appear out of nowhere. I planned to make a large trap to trap the werewolves that appeared there and weaken their abilities!"

Draco heard this, and he did not foresee that things would be easy at all. Instead, he said with some worry:
"Hermione, the dream you had was very much like a precognitive dream. Did you come into contact with something dangerous? This is very dangerous." If a wizard possesses the ability to predict the future, then if he has precognitive dreams from time to time, it is very likely that his body is sending him a warning, or that he has received a little favor from the goddess of fate, allowing him to change the outcome.

But if a wizard has no precognitive abilities but has a precognitive dream, this is a bit dangerous.

It is very likely that you have unknowingly come into contact with something related to time and space, causing yourself to be affected.

This influence may be good or bad, but it is often bad.

The main reason is that the ability of predictive knowledge places very high demands on the wizard's physique.

If a wizard who does not have the ability to predict the future starts to have frequent predictive dreams, he is likely to suffer a mental breakdown.

A thought flashed through Hermione's mind. When she was having this dream, she also had some guesses, why did she have such a dream?

Suddenly, she thought of the time converter.

She had previously used the time-turner to rewrite Ron's ending, which may have had some effects on her body.

It’s just a little strange that she used the time converter to study all subjects in Hogwarts for a whole semester, but she didn’t have any precognitive dreams.

But this time, I don’t know how to do it.

Could it be because the impact of her use this time was greater?

Judging from the current results, her dream was beneficial to them.

Everything that happened in the dream was verified, and she also solved the crisis one step ahead based on what happened in the dream.

Hermione whispered, "Draco, I know this is unusual, but we don't have time for such trivial matters."

Just as they were about to head to the next location, suddenly, a commotion broke out in the Auror queue not far away.

The information checked with the Patronus Charm was eventually leaked out. The Death Eaters mixed in the crowd noticed something was wrong and launched an attack ahead of time!

Fortunately, most of the Death Eaters had been controlled, so the danger they caused was not a big deal and was quickly subdued by others.

On the other side, the three professors of Hogwarts set up a defensive magic array at the edge, observed it for a while, and found that there was no problem with the operation of the magic array, and were about to leave.

Suddenly, a werewolf appeared at the edge of the forest, jumped onto a huge tree in a few seconds, and roared to the sky.

"Ouch!!!"

The three professors turned around and recognized the werewolf. Their expressions instantly became serious.

"Fenrir Greyback, the most violent male leader under the Death Eaters, who takes pleasure in biting children."

McGonagall said grimly, "Professor Lupin was once bitten by him."

Flitwick flexed his wrist, waved his wand and said, "In terms of size, he is stronger than the other werewolves. Have you finally forced the leader out?"

Snape sneered and said sarcastically, "Werewolf leader? Where are his men? I have never seen a leader more naked than him. Even the giant monster leader with a negative IQ has several subordinates."

Fenrir turned his neck and stared at Snape with his scarlet eyes. In werewolf form, his attack power was stronger and his defense ability was also stronger.

The bonus that the full moon night gave him was greater than anyone imagined.

Even under normal circumstances, he can maintain his wolf form and intimidate other werewolves.

With the blessing of the full moon night, he is the undisputed king among werewolves.

Fenrir roared and ran towards the three professors. As he ran, his body turned into afterimages and actually split into three werewolves.

And these three werewolves are not Fenrir's limit.

While running, the three werewolves split into a shadow, turned back into six werewolves, and then continued to split.

Finally, dozens of werewolves pounced on the three professors.

The three professors originally thought that these dozens of werewolves were all clones of Fenrir disrupting their vision, and only one of them had the ability.

But as the professor fought with the werewolves, he was surprised to find that each werewolf was able to exert its true strength and was no worse than an ordinary werewolf.

No wonder Fenrir dared to attack the three professors without fear even though he had no subordinates.

Because he alone is equivalent to a werewolf army!
But the three professors are no pushovers. They are all veterans with rich combat experience and have fought against werewolves before.

When they cannot fight head-on, they will use Apparition to dodge and attack the werewolves from an unexpected angle.

Originally, Fenrir came here to destroy the defense line established by the three professors.

But the three professors, relying on their extraordinary strength and tacit cooperation, managed to keep these dozens of werewolves where they were and contain them!
On the other side, Draco and Hermione had already gone to the next location.

When Draco saw that place, a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes, "Hermione, is this where the werewolf army that you predicted in your dream will appear?"

Hermione nodded, her eyes firm: "Yes, I didn't remember the place wrong, it's right here!"

She was about to take a few steps forward, trying to dig a big hole and set an ambush, but was caught by Draco and pulled back.

"Don't go any further. There is a trap set by the house-elves ahead." Draco said solemnly.

Hermione was stunned: "The house elves also set a trap? But I didn't see this scene in my dream."

Draco said confidently: "It was in this place. I saw them set it up."

Hermione frowned and kept recalling the contents of her dream.

"But something is wrong. I didn't see any house-elves in that dream. Did they really join the battlefield?"

Draco said, "But from my observation, they are not only traps set on the ground, but also in the sky. Lin Xia also saw this scene, and she can testify for me."

He murmured, “I once heard Professor Trelawney say that fate is a broad river, and all we can glimpse is the waves that occasionally break.

But countless waves are generated every day, and what we see is just one of the outcomes.”

"So," he paused, "the prophetic dream you had is just one of the possibilities that may happen, but it does not represent the predetermined future." (End of this chapter)
