Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

But in any case, if Tom is sent to the Ministry of Magic, he will eventually be sentenced to Azkaban.

Upon arriving in Azkaban, Tom was met with those pesky Dementors.

At that time, a large number of Dementors will begin to torment Tom.

Even if he were Tom, and even if his teacher were Merlin, he couldn't do anything about those Dementors.

The Dementors will steal all of Tom's happiness; he will... wish he were dead.

“Perhaps I should consult someone about this, or rather, with whom…” Dumbledore suddenly looked up, “Severus!”

He and Snape had to do everything in their power to protect Tom, or he might really die.

Dumbledore quickly went out the door.

……

Meanwhile, Hermione and her two companions also arrived at the Momo Mountains.

Gara flapped her wings in the air and slowly descended, placing the three of them on the ground.

"Tom, the Rainbow-scaled Giant Chicken has disappeared. You can ask the Unicorn; he's often with the Rainbow-scaled Giant Chicken."

I'll rest for a while. Come find me when you want to go back to school, and I'll take you home.

"Thank you, Gara."

Hermione thanked him, and then mentally asked Tom.

"Tom, how can I find the unicorn? And... I can't understand the unicorn's language."

“Isn’t that me?” Tom sighed. “I’m your human translator.”

Okay, now, whistle a little loudly, and the unicorn will come to you.

After hearing Tom's words, Hermione put her finger to her lips and whistled.

From afar, the unicorn heard the familiar voice and, as expected, quickly ran towards Tom.

"Tom, she's so beautiful!" Hermione thought to herself with delight.

Chapter 143 The Ministry of Magic's Counterattack

Inside the Ministry of Magic, Lucius was arguing loudly with several Ministry members sitting in front of him.

At that moment, Lucius felt as if the Ministry of Magic members in front of him were a bunch of curly-haired baboons.

Perhaps I overestimated these people's intelligence. I didn't expect that they couldn't even understand human language and were still thinking about breaking into Hogwarts School of Magic and expelling Dumbledore from Hogwarts in the name of their Ministry of Magic.

Lucius sighed and decided to give up arguing.

Even before he met Tom, he had already considered replacing the headmaster of Hogwarts.

But the most important question is, if Dumbledore is replaced, who will take his place?

If someone could replace Dumbledore, they would have done it long ago; there's no need to wait until today.

The reason he hadn't made a move against Hogwarts for so long was because Dumbledore was irreplaceable.

As the most powerful wizard in the magical world, the most powerful White Mage, Dumbledore's reputation is not only prominent within Hogwarts.

Even if you're outside of Hogwarts and haven't studied there, you've definitely heard of Dumbledore.

In addition, many students have graduated from Hogwarts, and Dumbledore has taken on many outstanding students!

If the Ministry of Magic is truly determined to expel Dumbledore from the school, then these students will surely unite and challenge the Ministry.

If that day ever comes, Lucius thinks the people at the Ministry of Magic will be weeping bitterly.

"Lucius, what do you think?" A fat, curly-haired baboon who couldn't understand human speech leaned close to Lucius. "Dumbledore has gone too far this time. I never expected that one of his students would be able to use Avada Kedavra. He absolutely cannot be allowed to continue as the headmaster of Hogwarts this time."

I think Snape would be great. What do you think about making Snape the headmaster of Hogwarts?

Lucius sighed and shook his head: "I don't think it's very good. If you all think Dumbledore is not qualified to be the headmaster of Hogwarts, perhaps you can take over yourself."

At that time, you will see the students go crazy.

Perhaps you've become a bit arrogant, to the point that you look down on the students at Hogwarts.

In many cases, the true strength of Hogwarts lies not in the professors, nor in Dumbledore, but in the diverse array of students they mentor.

The obese wizard curled his lip in disdain; he didn't think a group of students could cause much trouble.

“Hey, Lucius, they’re just a bunch of students. You don’t need to be so worried.”

If these students are disobedient, you can use your own methods to educate them, can't you?

Think about it, this is Hogwarts. You could easily stop them from studying, lock them in solitary confinement, or use other methods, such as…”

Before the obese wizard could finish speaking, Lucius shook his head: "I'll say it again, if you think you're confident you can stand up to those Hogwarts students, then go yourselves. Don't drag me into this. I have nothing to do with you."

“Lucius, you’re so heartless… No, you’re not scared, are you? Scared of a bunch of Hogwarts students.” A slight smile played on his lips as he looked at Lucius.

There's no doubt that Lucius is now terrified of Hogwarts.

"Say what you will." Lucius glanced at the man with utter indifference, inwardly cursing his stupidity.

Such a foolish person should be sent to confront Tom directly. Only after truly interacting with Tom will he realize how insignificant he is, just like Lockhart back then.

When Lockhart first entered Hogwarts, didn't he also consider himself the boss of the school?

That day, Tom rode back on his fiery dragon and landed on Lockhart's head. In just one night, Tom silenced Lockhart forever.

And Lockhart now doesn't dare to look Tom in the eye at all.

Lucius knew that if Tom had acted like Lockhart back then when he was at home, his status would probably not be much higher than Lockhart's now.

Moreover, she has another identity, and if Tom finds out about that identity...

It was a secret that no one knew: Lucius was actually a Death Eater.

He was followed by Voldemort.

However, after meeting Tom, Lucius also considered whether he should continue to follow Voldemort.

Without a doubt, Voldemort was incredibly powerful.

But will Voldemort's future belong to the wizarding world?

Even if Voldemort were to be resurrected, would the future of the wizarding world still belong to him?

To be honest, Lucius felt that in the future, it would be Little Tom's world.

Although Lucius was cowardly, he valued his life and would never put himself in danger.

To put it bluntly, he's just a fence-sitter.

But being a fence-sitter has its advantages; at least until Tom falls into a disadvantageous position, Lucius will stand by his side.

This is why Tom and Lucius got along well.

“Lucius, why did you say we should wait a week before entering Hogwarts? I think now is our best opportunity.”

“I’ve said it so many times!” Lucius slammed his hand on the table and stood up from his chair. “You should use your brains instead of just thinking with those brains full of shit.”

We only know that someone used Avada Kedavra at Hogwarts, so now I ask you, who used this spell?

Everyone present fell silent.

They had speculated about many people, but the issue at the meeting gradually shifted from discussing who should use Avada Kedavra to how to remove Dumbledore from power.

"I've already asked Dumbledore at Hogwarts, but even Dumbledore doesn't know who used Avada Kedavra."

I ask you, does investigating this matter take time? And where will that time come from?

Lucius slammed his fist on the table, his eyebrows arching with anger: "You're all so smart, why don't you just predict who the killer who used Avada Kedavra is?"

Or do you not believe my investigation and think I lied to you?

"No, no, no, Lucius, of course we believe you, it's just that we don't believe Dumbledore."

Lucius looked coldly at the person who had just spoken: "You mean, you think Dumbledore used Avada Kedavra in his own school?"

Then let me ask you, who did he use Avada Kedavra on, and why did he use it? Don't you think this reasoning is utterly absurd and laughable?

Everyone lowered their heads and fell silent.

Lucius was absolutely right. No matter how much they hated Dumbledore, they could never come up with such an absurd conclusion as that Dumbledore used Avada Kedavra.

How could someone who treats all his students as children possibly use Avada Kedavra on people?

Furthermore, Dumbledore placed great importance on the rules of the wizarding world.

Although he occasionally breaks the rules himself, he would never disregard such a major rule.

“Lucius, what do you mean? Do you think we should just wait here? What if Dumbledore still hasn’t given us an explanation after a week?”

What should we do then? Should we wait another week?

Week after week, how long will it take before we can finally catch the person who used Avada Kedavra?

Such a person is extremely dangerous in the wizarding world. As someone from the Ministry of Magic, Lucius, I think you should understand that!

Lucius snorted coldly: "If you don't trust me, you can go to Hogwarts yourself to find that prisoner. You'd better bring your wand and a Dementor, so everyone knows you're here to cause trouble."

By then, I hope you'll still be walking out of Hogwarts unscathed.

"..."

The scene fell silent for a moment, everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward and say that they wanted to go to Hogwarts.

They dare to push others out as scapegoats, but if it comes down to them personally taking the lead, they'll be a little cowardly.

Putting aside everything else, they at least had to give Dumbledore some face.

"Lucius, did you find out who the culprit is when you went to Hogwarts today?"

"With your abilities, after investigating at Hogwarts for so long, don't you have even a single clue?"

Lucius said, "Sorry to disappoint you, there isn't."

While saying sorry, Lucius showed no remorse on his face.

Even if I did, I wouldn't tell these people.
