Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 507 Big Boss Stands Up
To be fair, the professors at Hogwarts were not the kind of people who liked gossiping.

But the combination of the two parties involved today was too magical. One was from the Black family, an old wizarding family, and the other was the most unpredictable professor in Hogwarts. The two of them actually came back from Hogsmeade together at night, and it was said that they were holding hands. Even Snape couldn't help but hold a bottle of potion and pretend to go to the corridor outside the school infirmary to listen to gossip. Even when the school was paying salaries, people didn't get together like this.

But the door of the school infirmary was locked, and there were only two unlucky guys, Harry, and Lupin inside. Even Dumbledore had to watch the live broadcast on the communication notebook with everyone in the corridor.

Charles was hiding under a hospital bed at this time, sending everything he heard to the outside world.

For example, how Black found Trelawney and invited her to dinner, and how the two people who were not in tune with each other found that they had something in common.

Just when Blake confessed that he had other intentions, Peeves' voice rang out in the ward: "Haha! You were eavesdropping here, and Peeves found out!"

Then there were the sounds of spells being cast, and a hole was blown in the doorway, and a mouse jumped out. As soon as it landed on the ground, it turned into an owl and flew away. The professors who were gathered together looking at their communication notebooks did not see it.

The next second, Blake pushed the door open, his wand still glowing, looking angry and yelling, "Where's Charles?!"

Dumbledore said to the professors in a serious tone, "So I told Charlie that the dragon's arrival at Hogwarts was an opportunity. I want some dragon blood and plan to study its thirteenth use..."

He turned back again and said in bewilderment, "Charles? We didn't see him?"

Blake gritted his teeth and said, "It's that mouse from before. He actually secretly learned how to transform into an Animagus!"

Dumbledore said in surprise: "He actually learned the Animagus transformation? I have never heard of it. I will talk to him about it."

This surprise was not fake. The professors had long thought that Charles would do this, but they had never caught him. They didn't expect that he would actually learn it quietly.

Dumbledore raised his hand and waved the Elder Wand, repairing the door of the school infirmary, and then said, "You continue, don't worry about us."

Blake glanced at the professors. Needless to say, it was definitely them who instructed Charles.

He found another problem: "Where's Mag?"

One professor is missing.

Dumbledore opened his eyes and said, "Minerva was here just now. You said Charles turned into a mouse. Maybe Minerva found out and went to catch him."

Black catching mice was meddling in other people's business, but it was only natural for Professor McGonagall to catch them. Dumbledore found himself very smart to come up with such an excuse in 0.0001 seconds.

Blake knew there was something wrong, but he was unsure. Finally, he said, "I'm going home first."

Dumbledore immediately said, "I think you haven't recovered yet. You can rest here for a few more days. It's okay."

Blake knew that this old man was a bad guy, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him and just ran away.

Trelawney ran away shortly afterwards.

There was nothing exciting to watch, so everyone just dispersed.

Harry and Lupin emerged from the ward, and finally a cat ran out from behind a ward cupboard and transformed back into a human.

At this time, a white-faced horned owl flew over and transformed back into Charles in front of Professor McGonagall.

"Hey, is the show over?" Charles asked.

Professor McGonagall said to him seriously: "Charles, don't worry about Black for now. When did you learn the Animagus transformation?"

Animagus transformation is a very dangerous thing. Professor McGonagall had always been on high alert against Charles, but she didn't expect that he actually learned it.

"No!" Professor McGonagall found a more important problem, "Didn't you just turn into a mouse?"

Charles smiled and said, "Professor, this is not an Animagus transformation, it is Catherine Clayt's animal transformation technique."

Katherine was going to publicize this magic at this year's Animagus International Conference, and Charles was going to help her build momentum, and today she would take this opportunity to officially debut in front of the Transfiguration masters. Professor McGonagall knew Katherine, and Charles had discussed some Transfiguration issues with this girl from Vagado through letters.

She asked in surprise: "Clete actually succeeded?"

In her opinion, Catherine's idea was too fantastic, but she still tried to explain it to her.

Charles nodded and said, "Yes, she has been through a lot, but when I stopped by to visit her a few days ago I learned that she has achieved great success."

He turned into a white stork, and after turning back, he said, "But this is difficult to learn. I spent a lot of time learning the first stage of the spell, and it took me two days to learn this spell."

Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and said to Charles, "Come with me to the headmaster's office."

Dumbledore prepared hot tea and snacks in his office, waiting for Professor McGonagall and Charles to come over and continue gossiping.

He had long been planning to find a wife for Blake, and had organized many blind dates but failed. Unexpectedly, the right person was right in the castle.

Although Black said that he had other intentions, what bad intentions could this young man have? The other party was not Snape.

Now that Minerva has brought Charles here, it's time to have a good talk about this matter.

Dumbledore thought that since Minerva had experience in relationships with the opposite sex, Charles should also have experience and a lot of clever ideas, so he should be able to come up with a good solution.

As soon as Professor McGonagall saw her best friend's preparations, she knew that he was going to start gossiping, so she said, "Albus, I want to talk to you about Charles."

Dumbledore asked in confusion: "What happened to Charles? Could it be that he also likes Sybil?"

It suddenly occurred to him that Charles liked older women.

Charles calmly drew out his wand and said, "Headmaster, I want to challenge you in a duel!"

Professor McGonagall held Charles' hand and said helplessly to Dumbledore: "Have you reached the age where your brain is not working well?"

Charles replied with certainty: "Yes, so I suggest that Mr. Dumbledore retire and no longer serve as the headmaster of Hogwarts."

Dumbledore knew he had misunderstood, so he changed the subject and said, "Who do you think should take over as headmaster?"

Charles said seriously, "Peeves."

Dumbledore didn't know how to respond to this, so he simply ignored it and turned to Professor McGonagall, "Are you talking about Charles secretly learning the Animagus transformation?"

Professor McGonagall did not answer, but said to Charles: "Explain yourself."

Charles immediately transformed into several animals, including an argali, a white-faced scops owl, a lynx, etc., and then told the story of Catherine.

Dumbledore listened carefully and said, "She is a genius, but she will face a storm."

This animal transfiguration is revolutionary in the field of transfiguration, and it is even more revolutionary in the field of Animagus transformation.

Catherine was previously expelled from Vagado for this reason. Now that she is out in society, she will face more and more intense criticism.

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then said to Professor McGonagall, "Minerva, we should protect the young people from the wind and rain."

Professor McGonagall nodded.

With the two of them on her side, the criticism Catherine faces is just an academic debate, and there won't be any personal safety issues. Radicals also have to carefully consider the consequences of offending the big guys.

But the boss's support is not impermanent, Catherine understands it, and Charles understands it too.
