All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 154 The delayed trial

The most popular subject of the new school year is without a doubt Defense Against the Dark Arts.Because the professor is beautiful—no, it's because Ms. Moon Shadow's lectures are very interesting. Everyone comes to Hogwarts to study, so how can scholars treat a class differently just because the professor is good-looking.

But one thing is certain, after two days of school, Ms. Moon Shadow will have her own fan group, and her charm can be enjoyed by both men and women.Originally, Linde's support team had directly switched sides, and most of the members had become Ms. Moon Shadow's fans.As for the transfer student De Lin, I really don't know him well.

Ms. Moon Shadow's class went smoothly and was not limited by the teaching materials.

Even more impressive than her beauty is Moon Shadow's magical attainments. She seems to know everything. She can always see the students' problems at a glance and give positive and reasonable suggestions.

Defense Against the Dark Arts is a more practical course with a lot of freedom in teaching. A bad professor can just follow the instructions like an idiot, but a good professor always finds ways to give students more opportunities to operate.

To Hermione's relief, this great magician from another world finally stopped doing shocking things after experiencing Muggle life for a period of time. Her class was lively and steady. She did not create any big scenes or talk about high-level theories. Instead, she was based on practice and devoted herself to improving the dueling level of the little wizards.

She did mention some of the origins of magic, but it was only mentioned as gossip, and the students didn't take it to heart after hearing it.

Compared with the Defense Against the Dark Arts taught by Linde, Ms. Moon Shadow's courses are more life-like and approachable.Whenever she came to the students, no matter how old they were, these children would be fascinated by her.

Students who perform well in class can ask questions to the professor. These guys are not doing their job properly and always take the opportunity to ask about the professor's preferences, favorite colors, favorite foods, favorite flowers, etc.

Ms. Moon Shadow is also good-tempered and answers all questions, so the students compiled a list of Professor Moon Shadow's preferences. It is said that her fan group will also hold regular tests. If she cannot answer the questions, she will be kicked out.

Students' preferences are just like this, coming from time to time, just like most people in the world.

Just as everyone was still insulting Gilderoy Lockhart a few days ago, his two Muggle sisters and Muggle father also announced that they had severed ties with this person. Recently, as Lockhart's tragic situation continues to stimulate public sympathy, his reputation has slowly reversed.

Even in the Internet age of the early 21st century, no one has ever achieved the popularity Lockhart has today.

As he said himself, fame is influence, and influence is power.

Lockhart, who was imprisoned, continued to be interviewed in prison. The conditions of his cell were actually quite good. Compared to a mansion, it not only had a bedroom and bathroom, but also a recreation room. Reporters who came to visit were surprised and said that the wizard was like a king living in prison.

From the First World to Asia, Africa and Latin America, from radio to word of mouth, people all over the world are doing their best to get the latest news on Lockhart. People in developed areas lie on the sofa and watch TV, while people in backward areas stand on grassy hillsides waiting for the messenger. The older generation turned on the radio to broadcast in the dead of night, while the young students went to secluded fields to set up radio stations. The natives of the tribe walked through the dense forest and walked into the colonial city to ask people. The astronauts in space would also talk about the news with the space center on the ground during their leisure time reporting on the mission.

Owls were flying around, the Floo flames in the fireplace were bright, and newspapers were delivered faster than the wind and hotter than the fire, reaching every wizarding community as quickly as possible.

In the days after Lockhart was arrested, everyone said this guy was doomed. A Muggle would give him a good whack with a metal wand. From now on it's all over.

But things didn't end that easily.It is said that the scourge lasted for thousands of years, and Lockhart's life has not yet come to an end.

Lockhart's trial has been repeatedly postponed due to delays in finding a suitable defense attorney.Any lawyer who wants to defend Lockhart must be prepared to fight against his colleagues around the world.This has a huge impact on their careers.The timid dared not accept it, and the daring squeezed their heads again.

But Lockhart denied that he was a wizard and refused to accept Muggles as his defense attorneys.

According to the principle repeatedly emphasized by Minister Humans, wizards are also human beings, and they shouldn't have accepted Lockhart's sophistry.Unexpectedly, however, the Muggles readily agreed to Lockhart's request.

So a few days later, a letter asking for help was placed on the desk of the Minister of Magic Fudge.

Cornelius Fudge squeezed the letter, looked at the signature Gilderoy Lockhart, his face was as gray and gloomy as a piece of half-rotted fat.He thought about it and couldn't make up his mind, so he had to ask Dumbledore to discuss the countermeasures.

"Ah, Mr. Minister, they really gave you a problem." Dumbledore gently put down the letter, and the half-moon-shaped lenses reflected light for a moment. The old wizard's calm and wise posture made Fudge feel reassured and fearful at the same time.

"What are your thoughts?"

"By what channel did Mr. Lockhart send this letter?"

"owl."

"Is our Muggle Prime Minister still connected with the Ministry of Magic?"

"It has always been rare." Fudge frowned worriedly, "It's just that when every Prime Minister takes office, we will send a formal letter informing him of the existence of the wizarding world."

"It's time for more letters."

"But we don't have this tradition."

"Then start today."

Dumbledore stared at Cornelius Fudge. This man was of mediocre ability, specialization, and a completely confused minister. In peacetime, the public could tolerate him, and officials of the Ministry of Magic would favor him, but today's wizarding world needs him. A decisive leader.

Fudge never disappoints.

He vaguely changed the subject, hoping only that Dumbledore would recommend a highly respected wizard to attend Lockhart's trial.

"The members of the Wizengamot all have this virtue and ability." The old wizard smiled faintly.

"Yes." Fudge breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I will extend an invitation to the Wizengamot. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Me." Dumbledore said concisely.

"What?" Fudge was taken aback for a moment, "What about you?"

"I will attend Lockhart's trial." Dumbledore stood up, "as his defense attorney."

"Is this appropriate?" Fudge was ecstatic at first, and then stuttered. He stared at the old wizard suspiciously, guessing Dumbledore's motives and purposes. He realized that his eyes were too explicit, and quickly explained, "My It means that this is a major task, and you, as the Headmaster of Hogwarts, may not have the time."

"It is because of the seriousness of the situation that someone needs to stand up. If the flood strikes, would you rather drown yourself with a dead tree, or cut down the tree and make it into a canoe?" Dumbledore put on his wizard hat, not waiting for Fudge Answered, turned and strode away.
