Parents of Hogwarts

The principal's office was once again filled with silence.

The previous headmasters in the portrait didn't even dare to breathe, and Fox gently rubbed his head on the back of Dumbledore's hand.

Meadows was also looking at Dumbledore, her expression a little uneasy, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Come in," Dumbledore finally said.

After the door opened, Professor McGonagall walked in solemnly.

She was still wearing pajamas, her hair was messy, and she only had time to throw on a robe.

What happened tonight was so sudden.

"Principal Dumbledore." She nodded and said, "Mr. Tonks is receiving treatment in the school hospital. He should be able to fully recover in a few days."

"The Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest are gradually waking up. In order to prevent them from eating Aragog's body, I took it to another place to hide it."

After a pause, she added: "Hagrid doesn't know about this yet."

Dumbledore nodded slightly.

Before he could say anything, Professor McGonagall suddenly glared at Meadows and asked her, "Did you already know that this would happen?!"

"You also concealed Andromeda's injury. Did you plan this in advance?!"

After what happened tonight, Professor McGonagall found something was wrong inexplicably, and she immediately thought of Meadows' original actions.

It was she who first chose to hide all this, otherwise Ted wouldn't have suddenly become so reckless.

Meadows avoided Professor McGonagall's gaze with a guilty conscience and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Minerva."

Dumbledore stopped McGonagall before she could become even more furious.

"It wasn't Meadows' fault, at least not entirely."

"She's not our real enemy either."

Professor McGonagall slightly suppressed her inner anger. After a moment of silence, she said in a stiff tone: "There is one more thing."

"Among the students who found Ted tonight, Mr. Sangster is missing. He is not in the dormitory and has gone somewhere."

Upon hearing this, Meadows immediately looked at Dumbledore.

She did not tell Professor McGonagall the whole truth, so Professor McGonagall naturally did not know what Callan had done, nor did she know that Lucius was the real culprit who hurt Ted.

As for the abnormality caused by the Acromantula under the influence of the potion, Meadows used excuses to get rid of it. She first took the initiative to bear all this, and planned to leave it to Dumbledore to make a decision.

After thinking silently for a while, Professor Dumbledore nodded.

"I know," he said.

"Then go and appease the other students first."

"As for Mr. Sangster"

He thought for a while and then said: "I will find a way to deal with it alone. There is no need to rush to find him now."

"Are you sure?" Professor McGonagall asked doubtfully: "He just disappeared from the school, especially after what happened just now. Could it be that he just left it alone?"

“What’s so special about this Sangster?”

She couldn't help but ask: "When school first started, you deliberately asked me to arrange for him to be the last one to be sorted?"

"why is that?"

However, Dumbledore just shook his head and said softly: "Mr. Sangster left a choice, so he will naturally want to hear the answer."

"He will not leave Hogwarts before this happens."

After saying this puzzling words, Dumbledore then said in an inexplicable tone: "Perhaps, there is more than one."

Professor McGonagall left with her head full of questions.

In the principal's office, only Dumbledore and Meadows were left again.
