Hogwarts Advanced Guide

Chapter 294 Identity Exposed!Damn title!

Harry's body was extremely stiff, his forearm holding the doorknob was trembling slightly, and his chest heaved violently.

The person behind him is definitely not Dumbledore! ! !

Harry was sure of it!
Dumbledore always called 'Voldemort' by his first name, and Harry still remembers how Dumbledore taught him in his first year.

"It's called Voldemort. Always use the right name for things. Fear of a name intensifies fear of the thing itself."

But the 'Dumbledore' that Harry saw today, he never said Voldemort's name once from the beginning to the end, even referring to him as 'Dark Lord'.

Damn, how could Professor Dumbledore
"Harry!" Seeing Harry walk to the door, Hera stopped him, and Harry was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.

"Professor, is there anything else?" Harry turned back stiffly, and then he watched 'Dumbledore' slowly take out his wand from his pocket.

Harry closed his eyes nervously, thinking wildly, what's wrong with him?Are you going to make a move on me?Where is Professor Dumbledore?Who else can stop him?
Hera took out her wand and poked at his face, the overgrown beard made his face itchy, and he wanted to scratch it with the wand.

"Harry, please don't tell anyone about Neville's parents. He should tell everyone when he is willing to talk." Hera put the wand on the desk and reminded Harry.

Harry's body was shaking, he could only feel his back was drenched in cold sweat.He let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the words of 'Dumbledore', "Okay, Professor."

Saying that, Harry turned and hurried out of the office, before Hera even had time to wish him 'good luck' in his third project.

"What! Dumbledore was replaced?" Hermione asked quietly, unable to believe her ears.

Harry had told Ron and Hermione everything he had seen in the Pensieve, and almost everything he had seen and heard in 'Dumbledore' since.They stayed up late that night in the common room, discussing these things over and over until finally all three of them lost their heads.

Ron stared into the fire in the common room.Harry could seem to see Ron shivering slightly, despite the warmth of the night.

"Who else can we trust?" Ron asked. "Even Professor Dumbledore has been replaced. Could it be him who manipulated the Goblet of Fire?"

"I don't know," said Harry.

Hermione didn't speak for ten minutes, she sat with her forehead in her hands, her eyes on her knees.It seemed that she needed a pensieve more than Hera did. Her head was probably too full of thoughts, and it would be nice to have some out.

"Hera," Hermione murmured.

"Why are you worrying about him now?" Ron asked in disbelief.

"No, I'm not worried about him," Hermione said into her knees. "I'm just Hera, the reliable person I thought of at the first time. But he's not at Hogwarts now, and no one knows where he went. Tell me, is it possible?"

"You mean Dumbledore who was attacked by Hera, and then disguised as him, right?" Ron said, clapping his palms.

Hermione and Harry both rolled their eyes at him.

"Obviously not the case." Hermione analyzed calmly. "We all know that Hera is loyal to Dumbledore, and obviously the person pretending to be Dumbledore deliberately dismissed Hera. Not good! Hera is in danger!"

"Huh???" Harry and Ron looked at each other, they couldn't keep up with Hermione's train of thought.

"The person who pretends to be Dumbledore must know who is loyal to him. In order not to show his feet, he will definitely distract people who are familiar with Dumbledore and let them do dangerous or impossible things. Since when did Hera disappear?" Hermione spoke very fast, but Harry could barely keep up. As for Ron?

He has gone completely stupid.

"The day after we found Mr. Crouch, we haven't seen him since," Harry said truthfully.

"Then." Hermione stood up and paced back and forth in front of the fire in the common room, "So that means that that guy was probably pretending to be Dumbledore that day, and the first thing he did was to send Hera away. He must have some dark secret. We'd better tell the professors."

"Hermione, aren't you a little too sensitive," Ron said slowly, "Harry, don't you think so too?"

"Too sensitive!?" Hermione raised her head and said sharply, "A dark wizard is hiding in Hogwarts. Someone will be attacked at any time. At this moment, you actually say I am sensitive?"

"Hermione, maybe I was too nervous and misheard." Harry said slowly, he didn't believe that the 'invincible' old man in his mind would fall down one day.Let alone being replaced.

"Then you all go to bed, I'm going to find the professor!" Hermione said, she looked at her watch, gritted her teeth and went out of the common room through the hole in the wall.

Harry and Ron looked at each other and smiled wryly. Ron went to stop Hermione, and Harry hurried upstairs to the bedroom to get his invisibility cloak.When he returned to the dormitory, he looked at Neville who was lying on the bed in his pajamas and sighed, but left quickly.

Hermione and her two good-for-nothing men were walking down the corridor, lighted only by flimsy torches on the walls, so they walked slowly.

They didn't know who to talk to about this matter. Maybe Professor McGonagall would be a good candidate. She has always been a loyal supporter of Dumbledore.

So, the three of them decided to go to Professor McGonagall's office—it was a small study on the side of the corridor on the second floor.

"Who's where?"

It was Dumbledore's voice, and the three little wizards stared nervously at the end of the corridor, staring at the Invisibility Cloak. 'Dumbledore' was wearing a purple robe. He didn't look as stable as before, because there was still a large bottle of potion in his hand—bubbling and bubbling.

"Could it be Harry and the others?" Hera murmured. He didn't bring the Marauder's Map with him. Dumbledore took it away and hadn't returned it to him. Harry's Invisibility Cloak, as one of the three Deathly Hallows, is undoubtedly powerful. At least if they don't make a sound, it's hard to find them.

Not wanting to get too involved with Harry and the others, Hera quickly walked towards the marble stairs. His goal had been achieved - the Polyjuice Potion that Snape specially prepared had been consumed before, but Snape couldn't leave his cauldron, so Hera had to come down to get the decoction herself.

"It's Polyjuice Potion!" Hermione whispered, her brows were tightly knit together, she could tell from the color and smell of the potion that what 'Dumbledore' was holding was definitely Polyjuice Potion.

"How is this possible?" Ron was dumbfounded.

"But obviously, we can't sit still!" Hermione said quickly, and she waited for the moment that 'Dumbledore' disappeared in the corridor, and immediately ran down the stairs.Harry and Ron had to trot behind Hermione.

"Miss Granger!"

Hermione slipped and stopped, just as Snape poked his head out from downstairs.His pupils shrank as he waved Hermione over.

"Look who I've caught, little nightwalker wizard." Snape recalled in the hallway with his grim and greasy tone. "What are you doing here? Miss Granger, and your two 'best friends'? I don't believe you're going on a night tour alone."

"I want to see Professor McGonagall," said Hermione, as she continued down the corridor, she was on the third floor, very close to Professor McGonagall's office.Snape grabbed her, and she had to stop. Just as she was about to explain, a bad guess came to her mind.

Who at Hogwarts can make Polyjuice Potion?
Or who is the least likely to be found making the compound decoction?

Without a doubt, Snape, Severus Snape, their Potions teacher.

And he seems to have an inexplicable relationship with Karkaroff.

Hermione's face turned pale, "I have to see Professor McGonagall, I won't say anything until I see her."

"What nonsense!" said Snape, his black eyes sparkling. "What are you thinking? A little wizard who travels in the night, and is a Gryffindor top student. I think Professor McGonagall will be very 'surprised' to guide this matter."

Hermione kept her mouth shut, knowing she'd better not say anything until she saw Professor McGonagall, God knows if Snape was really trustworthy.

"Very well," said Snape, his thin lips twisted into an ugly smile.

Harry and Ron, hiding in the Invisibility Cloak, watched in disbelief as Snape took Hermione.

"What should we do?" Ron said with a sigh.

Harry gritted his teeth, "Let's go to the principal's office and see what that guy wants to do. I know the password for the principal's office."

"But it's obviously not safe." Ron swallowed. He didn't think Harry's decision was wise. If that guy was a dark wizard, the best thing Harry could do was to stay away.

"Ron!" Harry shouted, "Professor Dumbledore has been replaced by someone unknown. Hogwarts is no longer safe. Where else can I hide? With the Invisibility Cloak, he won't find us."

"." Ron's face was pale, and he swayed, "Okay, Harry, but we're just taking a look, from a distance, it's not our business to intervene, professors"

"I know," Harry said to Ron.

When Hera returned to the office with the compound decoction, he was not in a hurry to go to bed. He took another big gulp of the compound decoction to ensure that he would not return to his original state in a short time. Then he stood up and said softly to the sleeping portrait hanging on the wall:

"Phineas, Phineas, wake up."

"Oh, Albus, it's so late, even if you are the principal, you have no right to disturb our rest." Phineas stretched himself in the portrait, "You must not persuade me to persuade Connery, you know him, he has always been headstrong."

"That's not my intention." Hera smiled wryly. It seemed that Fudge was notorious, even the portrait of Hogwarts knew it.

"That's really great, you'd better say it quickly, or I'll go to another picture frame, at this time, I should go to sleep." Phineas yawned and still didn't intend to get up, he leaned against the edge of the picture with his shoulders in his arms.

Hera raised her eyebrows, trying her best to sound like Dumbledore, "Actually, I'm thinking of awarding Hera a prize for his special contribution to Hogwarts."

"Albus, are you crazy?" Phineas rubbed his eyes vigorously, "I thought you always had a prejudice against Slytherin, and you are so friendly to the children of the Lestrange family?"

"Well, he's always been a reassuring kid, hasn't he?" Hera blinked.

"Okay, this look of yours is really disgusting. Stop making that expression, I'm not a teenage wizard anymore." Phineas waved his hand in disgust, "You can give it to him if you want, anyway, you are the headmaster of Hogwarts."

"I'm just worried that I've forgotten it. I hope you can remind me sometime." Hera finally revealed his purpose. Although he really wanted to award himself a bonus when he 'replaced' the headmaster of Hogwarts, it was obviously not a good time for Dumbledore to catch Barty Jr.

"Okay, okay." Phineas muttered, and closed his eyes again, "It's best not to disturb my sleep anymore."

Hera smiled wryly, and he nodded silently.Naturally, he didn't do this for the little Galleon, he just did it to ensure his safety.

He revealed through Phineas that he desires money and does not want any power or privilege.The purpose is to let Dumbledore think that he only loves Gallon and will not pose any threat to him at all, so he can let go of his worries.

After all, a person with weaknesses is not worth worrying about at all.

Dumbledore is a smart man, and Hera is not stupid either. He naturally knows how to hide himself from the old fox.

As long as Dumbledore is still alive, Hera will not dare to really expose herself. God knows which one of Voldemort and Harry will be the one who survived the prophecy.Hedging is obviously the wisest choice.

Hera was sitting on the chair, holding the end of her long hair with her fingertips, carefully thinking about her next move, when there was a sudden sound, he looked up, and the door opened, although there was no one there.

Hera frowned. At this time, there are still invisible people, who else?

It can't be Barty Jr., right?

"Harry?"
