Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Chapter 232 Flitwick: I just watched quietly without saying anything

Fudge lowered his voice and said:

"We received a piece of news that Black might be a werewolf, and the Ministry of Magic has also interviewed some people. Sirius was removed from the Black family tree, which might be related to his identity..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

As soon as Fudge finished speaking, Douglas choked on the glass of wine that had just reached his throat.

"I'm sorry, Minister. I haven't drunk in a long time. I'm a little uncomfortable. Please continue."

Fudge's words not only made Douglas choke, but also made the others at the table stunned.

Hagrid burped and exclaimed in surprise:

"How is this possible? We all know werewolves are..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted angrily by Professor McGonagall.

"Hagrid!"

After saying this, Professor McGonagall looked around, and the guests who heard Hagrid's voice lowered their heads.

Douglas poured Hagrid a glass of wine, handed it to his mouth and said:

"Drink, don't talk!"

Fudge obviously didn't know that Lupin was a werewolf, but he thought Hagrid was talking about the well-known werewolf Fenrir Greyback. He shrugged and said:

"Hagrid, you should know that Greyback is not the only werewolf in the world. Sirius is very likely a victim of Greyback..."

Madame Rosmerta said doubtfully:

"If I remember correctly, Black and Potter were as close as brothers when they were in school. If Black is a werewolf, did it happen after graduation?"

Fudge shook his head, glanced around cautiously, and then whispered:

"No, according to our investigation, we found that the Black family had expelled Sirius from the family a long time ago. We suspect that the real reason behind this may be that Black's werewolf bloodline has tainted the pure bloodline of wizards.

The reason why he has such a good relationship with Potter can only be that Potter is a very kind person and is so friendly to werewolves... Alas."

Hagrid stared, looking at Fudge in surprise, then at Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall also looked surprised. She looked at Douglas and blinked, meaning that the news you released was also part of your plan?

Douglas shook his head.

The table suddenly fell silent, and Fudge was very pleased with everyone's shocked expressions.

Professor Flitwick first glanced at Professor McGonagall and Douglas, who had strange expressions on their faces, and then asked Fudge:

"Mr. Minister, how did you confirm that Sirius was a werewolf? I mean, was it simply because he was expelled from the family? I remember that there were various reasons why pure-blood families expelled members, and most of them were because of their thoughts..."

Those at the table, whether they knew the truth or not, all looked at Fudge curiously.

Douglas sighed silently. He had already guessed the source of Fudge's information. It was likely that the discussion in the Charon Detective Agency was told to his family by a student, and then passed on to Fudge.

This gave Sirius a very good excuse to escape from Azkaban. As long as this matter was announced to everyone at the right time, no one would worry that other people in Azkaban would also escape.

When Fudge heard everyone's questions, he smiled mysteriously:

"I'm sorry, this involves the secrets of the Ministry of Magic. But I can tell you the purpose of Black's coming to Hogwarts."

Hagrid said in surprise:

"Purpose? Isn't his purpose to find Harry?"

Fudge shook his head and said:

"Not only that, as far as we know, there is a group of werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, and Black's target is them. It is obvious that he intends to form a werewolf army. Of course, Harry Potter will also be his target."

Hagrid put down the cup in his hand and said doubtfully:

"But there are no werewolves in the Forbidden Forest. There are only wolf cubs born from a group of werewolves mating during the full moon... well... although they are as intelligent as humans, they are not werewolves and do not obey the calls of werewolves. I am very sure of this.

And when Professor Scamander established the Werewolf Registry, he once came to the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts and recorded this in the files of the Ministry of Magic..."

When Douglas heard Hagrid mention the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, he immediately placed a soundproofing spell around their table.

He also knew the group of wolf cubs living in the Forbidden Forest. They were born from werewolves mating during the full moon. They were more beautiful than ordinary wolves and had intelligence close to that of humans. He once wanted to take the leader among them as his younger brother, but was rejected by the other party.

However, in order to prevent students from entering the Forbidden Forest at will, the professors tacitly did not explain to the students the rumor that there were werewolves in the Forbidden Forest.

Fudge was stunned when he heard this. It was obvious that he didn't know about this situation. The Werewolf Registry had been abandoned for many years. Who would look through those files?

He raised his glass awkwardly and took a sip, then said

"Really? Maybe it's been so long that they forgot to report it to me."

Douglas said helplessly:

"Mr. Minister, if Sirius is really a werewolf, why doesn't he go find Greyback and the others?"

Fudge was obviously a little annoyed at this time, but he suppressed his anger and said:

"I don't know about that. This time I came to Dumbledore because I wanted to send someone into the Forbidden Forest to make contact with the werewolves in advance..."

Hagrid said belatedly:

"If Black is a werewolf, then many things would make sense. Why would he betray me? And when he wanted to take Harry from me, he must have wanted to turn Harry into a werewolf like him... Do you know what I did? I comforted that werewolf."

Douglas rubbed his head. Hagrid was completely misled. He believed that Black was a werewolf. However, people who knew the inside story were indeed easily misled. After all, if there was a werewolf among friends, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Madame Rosmerta paused for a moment and said:

"Of all the people who turned to the dark side, Sirius Black was the last person I would have expected, considering what he was like at school.

But if he is a werewolf, then all these things can be explained."

Douglas coughed lightly and said:

"Harry knows about this."

Fudge was stunned, then looked at Hagrid.

Hagrid stared, wondering what you meant, and quickly waved his hand and said gruffly:

"That's not what I said."

After saying that, he looked at Douglas again.

Douglas lowered his voice and said:

"I actually know who said that. Lucius Malfoy's son told Harry. I heard that this matter is a secret in the Ministry of Magic, and it was so easily known by a child. Tsk tsk!"

Hagrid looked at Douglas in surprise. That’s not what you told me at the beginning.

Fudge raised his glass awkwardly upon hearing this.

Then the table fell silent again.

Then Hagrid began to sob quietly, and then denounced Black in various ways.

Fudge and Rosmerta also joined the condemnation.

Professor McGonagall said nothing, and looked at Douglas with a look of resentment in her eyes. Is this your plan?

Professor Flitwick sensed the strange atmosphere between McGonagall and Douglas from the beginning, especially since the two of them had no comment on Black's affairs.

He keenly felt that there must be something he didn't know, so he simply kept silent.

After a while, Rosmerta choked up and said with a hint of satisfaction in her tone:

"Fortunately, he didn't escape in the end. Pettigrew's sacrifice was worth it. Poor child, the Ministry of Magic's approach is very popular."

After saying that, the three of them took another big sip of wine.

Douglas noticed that Professor Flitwick was looking at him with a smile on his face, and he would look at Professor McGonagall from time to time. Douglas smiled at him awkwardly.

Chapter 233 A Bucket of Butterbeer

At this moment, two rough and childish voices suddenly came from the door of the bar.

"Boss, give us a bucket of butterbeer!"

"A big bucket of it, we're taking it away!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire bar fell silent for a moment.

After hearing this, Rosmerta stood up and said with a smile:

"Haha, it looks like they are two newcomers!"

However, the expressions of several professors present changed.

Douglas casually removed the soundproofing magic.

Hagrid turned around and shouted in surprise:

"Harry! Ron!"

Professor McGonagall roared angrily:

"Potter, Weasley, what do you want with a keg of beer?"

Hogwarts does not prohibit students from drinking beer, but ordering a bucket at a time...

After saying that, Professor McGonagall looked at Douglas. She was full of resentment towards Douglas today. She even felt that Harry became addicted to drinking after living with Douglas for a summer vacation.

Douglas was also stunned when he saw Mag's eyes, and shouted to the two dumbfounded people at the door:

"You two, come here!"

Ron and Harry's heads were buzzing, and their legs felt like they were filled with lead, nailed to the spot.

Didn't George and Fred just say that Douglas went to the Hog's Head Inn, saying that was where adult wizards went?

That's why they came to the Three Broomsticks so confidently and boldly.

I never thought that this would cause trouble for the professor.

The two of them turned around with despair and glanced at Hermione at the door.

Because the bar door was soundproofed, Hermione did not hear Professor McGonagall's voice.

Seeing the two of them looking at him with strange expressions, he complained softly:

"Really? You can't even do this."

He walked towards the bar, not noticing Ron's slight wave of his hand.

Seeing Hermione walk into the bar, the two looked at each other and sighed, it's over, all wiped out.

After Hermione walked in, she glared at the two of them, then shouted as if to give herself courage:

"Boss, don't you want to sell me a barrel of beer?"

Professor Flitwick shouted in a surprised, shrill voice:

"Miss Granger!"

Hermione's expression froze, and she slowly turned her head to look at the corner of the bar. Four professors and eight pairs of eyes were looking at her.

Ron whispered:

"I told you not to come in!"

Hermione was about to retort when Douglas said kindly:

"What are you mumbling about? Come here, the three of you."

Hermione took a deep breath and whispered:

"There's nothing in the Hogwarts school rules that forbids students from drinking. Don't be afraid!"

This sentence was said to the two of them, and also to encourage myself.

After saying that, Hermione clenched her fists and walked towards the corner.

Ron and Harry looked at each other and followed Hermione step by step.

When other people in the bar saw this scene, they all burst into laughter.

Professor McGonagall snorted coldly and glanced around. Suddenly, the bar fell silent. Everyone lowered their heads and stared at the cups in front of them.
