The King of Flags at Hogwarts

With a flick of his left hand, the water prison quickly froze, turning into solid ice.

Dumbledore truly lives up to his name; after learning the ancient magic of the Olympian pantheon, he was immediately able to master it and incorporate it into his own combat system.

But the solid ice began to crack visibly, and Dumbledore knew he couldn't hold her any longer, so he quickly gestured to Fawkes.

The somewhat aged Fox immediately grabbed Lockhart's shoulder and vanished without a trace the next moment.

The woman broke through the ice and, seeing that Lockhart was gone, flew into a rage.

She lunged at Dumbledore with bared teeth and claws, displaying the same strange phenomena that had occurred when Poppy went berserk last time: black mist swirling around her, and seven-colored light flashing.

If Bobby were still sober, she would definitely complain: This is the colorful black that the client wanted!

The two started fighting, and stone chips flew everywhere in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. Fortunately, Hogwarts Castle had its own healing magic, and the walls were repaired as they were damaged.

However, as the battle intensified, the rate of recovery gradually couldn't keep up with the rate of destruction.

The woman was clearly conscious and much more difficult to deal with than when Poppy went berserk last time. Moreover, Poppy's trip to Mount Olympus had further enhanced her strength.

Fortunately, this woman seemed to have not fought in a long time, her combat awareness was somewhat weak, her reactions were always a beat slow, and she did not know how to use Poppy's Apparition skillfully, which greatly relieved Dumbledore.

He just needed to finish the fight quickly, otherwise it would be very disadvantageous if the woman found her rhythm.

With a wave of his wand, Dumbledore stirred up a cloud of sand. As the woman broke through the sand's barrier, Dumbledore had already Apparated to another corner of the room.

"Take the God's Protection!"

The enormous silver phoenix guardian pounced on the woman, temporarily obscuring her vision. Dumbledore then unleashed a water bomb, a whirlwind, and lightning in succession.

A water bullet came flying, and the woman casually waved her hand to intercept it, causing it to explode in mid-air. The ensuing gale swept the scattering water everywhere. Lightning shot out, and the woman dodged to the side, but unexpectedly, she was surrounded by conductive water and was struck squarely by the silver-blue arc of electricity.

Although Poppy's body had extremely high resistance, the paralyzing effect of the lightning still caused the woman to lose her senses for a moment.

In that split second, Poppy uttered four words: "Forbidden Forest Werewolf!"

This was Bobby's original voice; she took advantage of the woman's momentary lapse in concentration to speak and remind the teacher.

Dumbledore reacted swiftly, grabbing the still-dazed woman and Apparating into the Forbidden Forest.

The woman, finding herself being taken away from the castle, roared, "How dare you? That man must die!"

They were now standing in front of the gate of an abandoned camp that looked like it had been abandoned for many years and was devoid of any human presence.

Faced with the woman's roar, Dumbledore Apparated to the doorway, smiled, and waved the Elder Wand. A colossal blue fire giant rose from the ground, first its head, then its neck, then its shoulders...

The woman naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch Dumbledore complete his spell. She let out a shriek and flew towards Dumbledore, skimming the ground, her fingers transforming into claws of multicolored light, determined to tear apart anything that stood in her way.

But the Dumbledore who was casting the spell was an illusion; the woman missed and flew into the camp.

In an instant, the black mist radiance on the woman's body vanished, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Where am I! Where am I! Why is there no magic here!"

The woman roared, "You treacherous brat! What kind of place is this?!"

Dumbledore didn't reply, but simply held the Elder Wand level, fully alert, ready to send the woman flying back if she dared to step out of the anti-magic zone.

He was clearly overthinking it; Bobby's hair had returned to its burgundy color, and she collapsed to the ground. The woman must have "left."

Despite the discomfort of losing his magic, Dumbledore went to Poppy's side.

He crouched down to check on her, and thankfully Bobby was alright; her breathing was very steady.

However, she wasn't wearing the demon-binding bracelet on her wrist.

Chapter 56 Li Xiaoxiang is here, who dares to hurt her?

Bobby had a dream.

In her dream, she returned to a long, long time ago.

She walked through the stinking streets; the city was small, and even two-story buildings were rare.

Those who can afford to live in a two-story house are either rich or noble.

But these superior people always dump their excrement and urine from the second floor, soaking passersby.

She entered the castle, where a handsome knight had just come out after finishing a meeting.

He was so elegant, sunny, and devout.

Her long, golden hair shone in the sunlight, like the shimmering reflection of the setting sun on a blue lake.

She felt her heart pounding, and she stepped forward, wanting to express her feelings.

But suddenly, an unbearable itch appeared under her armpit!

She laughed heartily, so unrestrainedly that even the handsome knight was taken aback.

He nodded slightly and left very politely.

She stopped laughing, feeling utterly heartbroken; her love had ended before it even began.

Anger exploded in her chest. She turned around and saw the woman on the second floor of the castle.

Guinevere!!!

Grinning widely!!!

Guinevere's image merged with Gilderoy Lockhart's, and she was furious. But suddenly the surrounding scenery vanished, leaving only a white expanse.

Her vision went black, and she fell into a deep sleep.

----------

Bobby has been in a coma for a month.

Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick, and Sprouse took turns looking after her.

Her magic-binding bracelet was in her storage bag, and it was now being put back on her wrist.

Gilderoy Lockhart was fired for assaulting a student, and his crimes of plagiarizing others' experiences and abusing the Oblivion Charm were also exposed—do you really think the Old Bee didn't know these things?

Dumbledore was getting on in years, and after teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts for a few days, he found it difficult, as he also had other matters to attend to.

The advertisement for a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has been running continuously, but no one has applied. The curse surrounding the position is well-known, and now it seems the curse is even stronger.

The professor from the previous academic year didn't even make it to the end of the semester before being brutally killed by a three-headed dog. This academic year is even more outrageous; the professor was sent to Azkaban right at the start of the semester.

Just when Dumbledore had almost given up hope, two people came to Hogwarts to apply for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor!

One is a half-Anglo-German named Gail Depp, who claims to have grown up in a small town in Hungary and has years of experience fighting vampires and werewolves.

One is Li Xiaoxiang, a newly renowned Defense Against the Dark Arts Master from China, who currently works part-time as a special advisor in the Auror Office of the British Ministry of Magic.

Dumbledore rubbed his temples as he looked at the two people in front of him.

Do you two really think I'm stupid?

“Headmaster Dumbledore,” Gale said confidently, “is it difficult for you to decide between the two of us?”

Dumbledore sighed inwardly. The two most powerful dark wizards of the world as professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts? Are you planning to teach Avada Kedavra or Fiendfyre? You two probably can't even summon a decent Patronus.

Patronus Charm?

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Then allow me to conduct a small test. Since you two wish to apply for this position, you need to prove your abilities. So, gentlemen, may I see your Patronus?"

Gail remained smiling, while Li Xiaoxiang slightly tugged at the corners of her mouth.

"Protect Me!" ×2

A huge silver phoenix, almost identical to Dumbledore's Patronus.

A giant silver python, with a magical herb bearing round, pearl-like fruits growing on its head.

Although Dumbledore was shocked that they could release their Patronus, especially Li Xiaoxiang, there was something he really wanted to say:

You're too lazy to even act anymore!

Dumbledore was now in a dilemma. Considering his words, he spoke slowly:

“Excellent guardianship! I am well aware of your abilities, and I understand your desire for this position. However, there can only be one position, and we should…”

Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, Li Xiaoxiang's expression changed. He only said "Excuse me" before rushing out of the principal's office.

With the troublesome person gone, Dumbledore took off his glasses and shouted, "Gellert, what exactly do you want?"

Gellert Grindelwald, now using the pseudonym Gale Depp, smiled and relaxed, leaning back comfortably. "As you can see, you're here to apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship."

Dumbledore sighed, "At such an advanced age, do you still want to stir up trouble?"

“No, Albus,” Grindelwald said solemnly, “I have come to help the savior of the wizarding world, the true savior.”

"what?"

“I saw it. I saw the future twelve years ago. That child will lead the wizards to stand in the light again.”

He stood up. “Matilda relayed her story to Vader, who then informed me, so I came,” Grindelwald glanced at Dumbledore. “You’re old; you can’t even protect a child!”

------------

Harry, Jady, and Hermione came out of the infirmary together.

Harry shook his head. "Hey, my cousin's been in a coma for a month now. Is she really alright?"

Hermione remained silent.

Jady looked even more sorrowful. In this world, only her parents, her brother Li, and Bobby truly cared for her. If something happened to Bobby, she would feel as if she had lost a quarter of her soul.

The three walked toward the auditorium. This passageway was usually deserted, but it was never as empty as it was today.

A bad feeling rose in Harry's heart. Suddenly, he heard a deep, hoarse, and extremely unpleasant voice: "Harry Potter, kill, kill, Harry Potter!"

Harry was startled and stopped, looking around.

Hermione asked, "Harry, what's wrong?"

Harry yelled, "Didn't you hear that? There's a voice talking, and it's trying to kill me!"

Jady stopped and asked curiously, "What's that sound coming from?"

With a loud crash, a colossal object fell from the ceiling, its thick, hard tail bringing down a large amount of rubble and breaking the hot water pipes. Scalding hot water poured down, immediately creating a large amount of steam.

Through the steam, a huge serpentine creature loomed in and out of sight, and the three of them screamed in surprise.
