HP: I just wanted to drop out of school, but I saved the world

The trial ended amid chaos at the scene.

Almost at the moment Lockhart was imprisoned, the photographer from the Daily Prophet rushed forward, with the camera pointed directly at Minister Fudge's face, almost touching his nose, and the flash of the camera almost blinded the person on the stage.

"The defendant Lockhart claimed that you, Minister, destroyed the evidence of his crime. What do you think of this?"

"You interrogate the criminal before the trial and use the Vanishing Charm when facing his evidence. Is there any problem with this work procedure?"

"Miss Jade Jane was cursed by the defendant in court. May I ask if the Wizengamot fulfilled its duty to protect the witness?"

Fudge's face turned red. He wiped the spit on his face that was splashed by the reporter, pushed the camera and shouted:

"Slander, this is all slander! It's groundless!"

The reporter's bright green shorthand quill moved quickly. She wore a pair of jeweled glasses, her blond hair was tied into strange curls, her bright red two-inch-long nails were pinching the parchment, and her eyes were glittering with a cunning light:

“Since the minister believes this is slander, please allow us to film the criminal evidence you have obtained.”

"You have no right to ask the Ministry of Magic to produce evidence!" Fudge shouted. "Well, today's interview ends here!"

He walked down the stage with difficulty, escorted by several wizards, and disappeared through the door.

Almost the moment he left, Jian Yu and Dumbledore's surroundings were occupied by reporters and photographers.

"Dumbledore!" The reporter looked delighted. "What do you think of this?"

Dumbledore's expression didn't seem to change, but Jian Yu could tell from the slightly drooping corners of his mouth that he was in a very bad mood:

"Rita, I'm afraid I can't answer your questions for now."

"I need to take this child for a physical examination, please let me—"

He led Jian Yu through the crowd, and the wizards around him made way for them.

But the reporter named Rita grabbed the camera and continued to chase after the two of them, asking them questions:

"Did you bring this child? How do you feel about her being cursed?"

"Do you think Fudge made a mistake in his work?"

Seeing that Dumbledore did not answer, she tried to pull Jane Yu away again, but was stopped by Bones, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

The witch with short grey hair had a loud voice and a frightening look on her face:

"I believe the interview time allowed by the Ministry has ended, Miss Skeeter."

She turned and nodded to Dumbledore and Jane, motioning them to go first.

......

Dumbledore Apparated Jane Yu to the Hog's Head Inn extremely quickly.

Aberforth paused in wiping his wine glass with the rag as he stared in amazement at the awful look on his brother's face.

"Why are you here at this hour?" He looked up at his watch. "Luckily there aren't many people here."

He began to rudely kick customers out, and the patrons in the bar complained. Soon, the first floor was empty.

"She is cursed," Dumbledore said simply. "I need a place where I won't be disturbed to examine her."

Aberforth waved his wand to cast several protective spells, and then checked the store with heavy breathing to see if there were any eavesdropping props left by any customers, and then signaled Dumbledore to start.

Dumbledore began to cast various spells on Jane Yu, but his expression became more and more confused.

"What's going on?" Aberforth asked, "Who cursed it? Can it be removed?"

Dumbledore stopped casting spells, and he pulled out a chair and sat down, as if he had encountered some worldly problem:

"Lockhart... Strange, really strange... There seems to be nothing wrong with his soul... This situation has never been seen before."

Aberforth spoke irritably:

"Lockhart? That idiot? Are you sure he can curse people? I doubt he even knows how to use a wand!"

Dumbledore nodded, then shook his head:

"He really has no real skills, and he didn't carry a wand at the time, so I don't think the curse would be successful."

"But..." His expression was still confused, and he looked at Jian Yu, "Your body has indeed changed. This kind of magic..."

Aberforth waved his hands in the air and said angrily:

"That's success? Damn it, I only let you take care of the child for two days, and you watched her being cursed--"

Dumbledore picked up his wand again and cast two spells, but he was still puzzled:

"I'm not sure...it seemed to work and it seemed not to work, but I think Lockhart must have paid a price."

"Yu, do you feel any discomfort?"

Jian Yu shook her head. She felt refreshed and in great shape.

You can even go outside the bar and run around the village thirty times.

Besides, carrying such a curse is actually a buff for her!

Maybe I have to start learning a foreign language again...

Like German, French, etc...

Then she spoke to her guardian:

"I don't think I'm fine, maybe we can just let it go and not worry about it?"

"Besides, it's not such a vicious curse."

But Dumbledore obviously didn't think so. He looked at her with guilty and heartbroken eyes:

"No, there must be a way. I will help you to solve it."

In order not to make them worry, the child actually comforted them so much!

It's so considerate that it makes people feel heartbroken!

Expelled? Leaving the UK? Displaced?

Don't even think about it!

As her strongest supporter and competent guardian...

——He would never let this curse come true!

He then analyzed the principle of the curse in detail:

"Curses are flexible. They originate from the wizard's negative emotions and require great skills and powerful magic to use."

"Lockhart obviously does not have such skills and magic. The only thing that supports him in making the curse is hatred."

"This means that he must pay a huge price... You should feel that your magic power has increased again."

Jian Yu suddenly understood.

No wonder she felt better all over!

My waist isn’t sore anymore, my legs aren’t painful anymore, and I don’t vomit when I Apparate!

It turned out to be a magical nourishing gift package sent by Lockhart!

Thanks to this old friend, it’s like timely rain!

No blessing could be more sincere than this!

Dumbledore wiped his wand and continued:

"In order to complete the curse, he transferred part of his power into your body at the cost of his magic power."

"Thank Merlin—" he muttered barely audibly, "that he didn't learn to split his soul."

Aberforth became even angrier, staring at his brother with sharp eyes:

"What are you going to do? From your tone, it seems that you think the increase in magic power brought by the curse is pretty good?"

Dumbledore pressed his forehead and said helplessly:

"Relax, Aberforth. This is not an instant curse. We have a long time to deal with it."

"I'll take her to some of my old friends, and I think that'll work. Just as I had planned--"

Aberforth felt like he had a headache when he heard the word "plan". He covered his ears:

"Alright! Alright! Stop planning!"

"Go! Go! How long do you want to keep the child away?"
