Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 175 The First Escapee from Azkaban

“Then, Professor Levi,” Vera bowed slightly, “as you wish, we will disappear completely—my promise remains valid, and please feel free to ask if you need our help.”

"If I were to give you a piece of advice," Levi said slowly, watching Vera gather the children, "stop actively producing Obscurians."

Vera turned to look at him.

"If you started producing Obscurus to protect yourselves, then now that you are powerful enough, why do you still want to turn your own people into this grotesque state?"

"This is the choice of the God of Magic."

Vera’s tone was calm, yet filled with an undeniable firmness.

"The God of Magic? Is that your faith?"

"Yes—we are all children of the God of Magic, and one day He will lead us to the source of magic."

Would God be pleased to see you do these things?
The thought crossed Li Wei's mind, but he quickly dismissed it—if there truly is a god, then it would indeed only relentlessly observe everything.

Thinking of this, Li Wei gave up the idea of ​​communicating with her—what kind of god of magic was she, but she was just using faith to kidnap people's minds.

It's no wonder that, despite the lack of any constraints, the members of these families still follow the ideas of their ancestors—their minds have probably long been corrupted by certain classic texts.

"Remember your promise, and disappear."

Li Wei waved his hand.

He didn't care about the benefits promised by the other party—he had already found his own direction.

As for becoming Minister of Magic?
This position held no appeal for him.

After receiving two medals, Li Wei was certain that he had no interest in the bureaucratic system.

Moreover, unlike Dumbledore, he doesn't have PTSD—he doesn't mind using force to get to the Ministry of Magic when necessary.

However, even with Deng Xiaoping still alive, things might not be so easy.

Li Wei shook his head, putting these things out of his mind—he somewhat loathed thinking about them; they were incredibly boring and limited his thinking.

As long as he holds the reins of education for the next generation, Fudge and his ilk won't be able to cause much trouble—once students like Cedric and Harry grow up, the world will naturally change for the better.

No sooner had Levi thought of Harry than something happened in the wizarding world that was closely related to Harry—something that even overshadowed Levi's awarding of his medal.

Sirius Black, a vicious criminal who once murdered thirteen people with a curse, has successfully escaped from Azkaban!
This news, like a chilling wind, swept through the entire magical world in an instant.

After all, in the public's perception, Azkaban is the most feared thing in the magical world.

It houses the most dangerous and vicious criminals in the magical world and is considered an inescapable prison—in the history of the magical world, no prisoner has ever left there alive.

But this perception has been shattered.

Sirius Black's mere escape from Azkaban made him a legendary figure of terror—the inability to comprehend how he did it fueled a deeper fear.

As Sirius Black's past deeds were unearthed and spread, people were even more horrified to discover that he was also Voldemort's loyal henchman. This news made many purebloods uneasy.

With the complete downfall of the mysterious figure, many of them had long since regarded him as a thing of the past, and had not even bothered to look for him, since it would not benefit them at all.

But knowing Voldemort's close associates as they did, it was hard to say whether Sirius would cause them trouble. This terrified them, and many quickly went to Fudge, the Minister of Magic—coincidentally, Fudge was already terrified.

With the help of these people, he even recklessly informed the Muggle prime minister of the news—now even Muggles know that a serial killer named Black is on the run with a handgun.

Fudge's actions undoubtedly amplified the panic among the wizarding world's inhabitants—his reckless behavior further cemented Black's reputation as a criminal.

On the front page of the Daily Prophet, a disheveled Blake howled menacingly, his bloodshot eyes looking ferocious and terrifying, like a rabid dog.

Dumbledore approached Livy with great concern.

Right there in Li Wei's office, Barton served him iced lemon tea with five cubes of sugar—but this time Dumbledore wasn't in the mood for jokes.

"Thank you."

He thanked them heavily, his expression showing some fatigue—whether it was the Horcrux, the Seven Saints, or Sirius.

Although Livy said that the Seven Saints no longer posed a threat to them, Dumbledore still couldn't be completely at ease after learning the truth—if the Seven Saints were to one day become legendary wizards, the world would undoubtedly become even more chaotic.

As for his retirement plans... well, Dumbledore isn't even thinking about retirement anymore—he just wants to quickly put some dangerous signs in check and resolve some other thorny issues—so that he can free up more energy to figure out the remaining things one by one and deal with them slowly.

"Li Wei, have you read today's newspaper?"

Dumbledore laid the Daily Prophet out on the table.

"I saw it, Sirius Black, the first prisoner to escape from Azkaban—you mean that, right?"

As Li Wei spoke, he recalled Blake's appearance when he was young—he always looked down on people, but because of his handsome looks, he was quite popular among students.

However, he always hangs out with James and the others, willingly playing second fiddle to James.

“It’s not just a simple prison break; in fact, I’m very worried about what he’s going to do next.”

Dumbledore didn't drink the iced tea in front of him, but raised his eyebrows and looked intently at Livy:

"Sirius was one of Voldemort's most loyal followers—he was Harry's godfather, and James and Lily trusted him implicitly. They chose Sirius as their confidant, but that very night he suffered a fatal betrayal, and you know the rest."

Li Wei nodded. Although he had different thoughts and opinions, he felt it was better to let Dumbledore finish speaking first.

"Such a loyal man to Voldemort, who was tortured in Azkaban for twelve years, I fear his loyalty has been twisted into an even more fanatical belief."

I think he can only do two things after escaping from prison.

First: Find out about his master's situation—in fact, given his loyalty, he most likely doesn't believe Voldemort is truly dead; he will definitely try to find out, perhaps even attempting to resurrect him! I will always be on guard against this.”

"And the second thing he had to do was equally important—in the eyes of all the remaining loyalists to Voldemort, Harry was a symbol of shame for their master's defeat."

As his most loyal servant, Black would very well want to kill Harry with his own hands to avenge his master.

Dumbledore's eyes were pleading.

“Levy, I can’t be with Harry all the time. Hogwarts is safe, but Black was able to break through Azkaban. No one can guarantee that he won’t find a way to sneak in.”

I hope you can protect Harry.
