Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

Neville's reaction was the strangest. He had always been anxious, but it didn't seem to be because of Snape's speech.He did not join the conversation of his friends, his eyes searched carefully everywhere.

"This year, several teachers will leave Hogwarts. The first is Keridi Bubage from Muggle Studies, whom we have lost contact with; and Ferenze, a horseman who is also a professor of divination, Its teaching methods are not in line with Hogwarts’ educational philosophy; in the end, Hogwarts will re-enable Wilmina Grapland as a teacher in the protection of magical creatures, eliminating Rube Hager’s professorship, and still Serving as a hunting field guard."

"At the same time, Alecto Carlo will serve as the professor of Muggle Studies, and Amicus Carlo will fill the vacancy in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Muggle Studies will be officially changed to a required course."

The students whispered and exchanged eyes and opinions in surprise.Many of them don’t care about the safety of Professor Bubbaji, or whether the horses come to give them divination lessons (although some girls lament this), except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson, which is changed every year , Hogwarts has rarely hired new professors, but this year it has replaced three professors in a row.

A small group of students knew more, and understood that these appointments meant that Voldemort was extending his claws to Hogwarts, Snape was already in control, and the appearance of Brother Carlo was more like the beginning of a new nightmare.There seemed to be a heavy cloud over Hogwarts, and even the eye-catching starlight from the dome could not be dispelled.

After Snape sat down, only Slytherin clapped excitedly. The applause of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw was sparse, and the students of Gryffindor would rather be in a daze than give face to the new principal.Delicious food poured out from the large plates on the dining table. Although the atmosphere was somewhat depressing, the students immersed themselves in eating and drinking.

"Luna?" Padma had just put some hot butter potatoes on the plate and was about to fetch some roasted chicken, only to find that the girl sitting next to her was in a daze, without any intention of picking up a knife and fork.

She called again several times, and Luna finally recovered."What's wrong?" she asked softly.

"Unless you want to break the school rules the first day, Luna, you have to eat something." Padma pushed the lamb chop plate in front of Luna, but her face was also very bad, and she didn't even talk to her friends around. to chat with.

"Those who were taken away by the Ministry of Magic will all be killed, right?" she asked in a daze.

"Luna, I don't want to talk about this now, you can eat something first..." Padma's tone was pleading.

"While we were sitting in the auditorium enjoying the dinner, someone was tortured in the cell, as if we were living by eating their flesh and blood." Luna pushed the plate out, and Padma frowned and followed Put down the knife and fork.

"I'm sorry." She noticed the other's disgust, and lowered her head. "Tomorrow I will have breakfast."

After eating, the chiefs of the hospitals shouted loudly as usual to gather the team, hurriedly leading the freshmen team up the stairs.Old students are much more laid-back, they don't need to follow the team closely.Luna declined Padma's invitation to go with her. She knew that the other party wanted to find a chance to comfort her, but she felt that she didn't want to discuss that topic with Padma.

"Your face is so ugly that it can be compared to a dead person." When she got into the doorway and entered the empty bedroom, a voice appeared in the bedroom.The silver transparent woman sat on a chair in the house and looked at her quietly.

"If I die like this, will Helena stay with me?" Luna asked, sitting on the side of the bed.

"You won't stay." Helena replied, "You are much stronger than me, Luna. You will go through the curtain and go where you should be, and I will witness this scene."

"...I don't understand why she did that." Luna fell on the bed and said softly.

"I understand Padma's kindness, but how can I eat? My best friend has become a murderer! She is still hurting others, and the truth is no longer found in the Daily Prophet "She turned her head melancholy, and the bed belonging to the other person was as clean as new.

"Helena, can you give me a hug?" The requestee sighed helplessly. The moonlight passed through the window to make her body transparent. She floated to Luna and hung low in the air.Her arms crossed Luna's shoulders, and the deceased's unique chill rushed through the body in the blink of an eye.

That is the proof that Helena Ravenclaw is still alive today. Luna felt the discomfort in her body and closed her eyes.

Chapter 18 Split and Resistance (Part 1)

"Severus, you are finally back." Just as Snape opened the door of the principal's room, he ran into an excited Slughorn head-on.The fat bald man looked a little anxious, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief from time to time.Snape stepped back quietly, avoiding Slughorn's hand that was trying to grasp his shoulder, and strode into the office.

"What can make you break into my office near midnight?" He put the oil lamp on the table, and turned his face in a daze.Slughorn's size was too conspicuous, he didn't notice Flitwick standing behind him, "Felius, do you have the same reason as Horace?"

Flitwick's performance was calmer than Slughorn's, but his brows were frowned: "We knocked on the door, it was not locked, and you were not there. The situation was urgent, so Horace and I went straight in." Flitwick’s explanation was not enthusiastic, and for the little man with exposed emotions, it could be called a disguised resistance.

"A student in Slytherin has disappeared." Slughorn's worries were overwhelming, but it seemed unusual.Snape frowned, Slughorn's reaction was a little overdone, which far exceeded his care for ordinary students.

"There are also missing students at Ravenclaw." Flitwick said dissatisfied. "I mean, except for those taken by the Ministry of Magic."

"Who?" Snape asked.

"Malfoy's children." Hearing the answer, Snape's facial muscles trembled. "I asked other people. He got on the express train and talked to the students in the same hospital, but no one saw him again after getting off the train. Now, the boy who spoke with him, according to my guess, was hit by a coma curse..."

"You mean Draco attacked him." Snape stopped him, his face gloomy, "then ran away halfway."

Slughorn opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. After a while, he nodded: "That's what I thought. He was wearing a broom and couldn't find his luggage... You don't know where he is?" Rugerhorn seemed to be worried that Snape would be wrong and added, "I mean, after all, you and his father are very good friends. Is it possible that Draco left at the behest of someone? "He pretended to say lightly.

"If that person needs to let Draco perform the task, I can't get no news at all." Snape said coldly. "It could be seen that Slughorn was greatly relieved. He didn't want to get into this trouble at all. With Snape's assurance, he could finally go back to sleep at ease.

Snape looked at Flitwick: "Who else is missing?"

"Daisy Longbottom. Her friends told me that she ran away with other students after attacking members of the committee." Flitwick stepped forward.

"Longbottom." Snape raised his eyebrows in disgust. When he was still teaching potions, he often troubled Neville. "Is this family born to trouble people? I thought that since she could be chosen Entering Ravenclaw, one should always be a brainy person."

"In my opinion, her choice is the result of real thinking. How can a person who has abandoned his conscience find the treasure of gold?" Flitwick glared at him.

"So, did Gold tell you the end of this incident, Filius?" Snape said calmly. "Don't worry, she will be brought back soon. She is still carrying traces and hunts. The team’s hounds are also aggressively trying to earn a bounty... You should be thankful that the pure-blood identity can protect her from harm—at least not lethal."

"How can you say such a thing!" Flitwick shouted in disbelief, "If you were caught by someone from the Ministry of Magic, would you be unclear about the fate of the students with her?!"

"That has nothing to do with me, Felius, the savior is not here, isn't it?" Snape said, "If you are finished, please leave." He waved his wand and the door opened silently.

"...I made a mistake." Flitwick stood there for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Snape's eyes full of disgust. To this good-tempered little man, it was already extremely It's rare, "I shouldn't have illusions about you. You are really just a murderer with bloody hands. I will have a good drink when you get retribution."

Snape didn't care about Flitwick's slamming door, he thought for a moment, took out the parchment and wrote quickly.

*********

"Why can't we wait for the sun to come out for an hour or two at night before setting off?" Dlex yawned and rubbed his eyes and complained, "Will Azkaban run away?"

"But our prisoners are not those bulky rocks. The ministry needs to consider the possibility of the prisoner's escape." Ian rubbed his hands nervously, and he lowered his head to adjust the condition of the broom. The Auror office has never subsidized. This will include the purchase of new broomsticks for the members. This old sweeping brand broom has followed Ian for many years.

The sky showed a grayish dark color, much like the contents of the cauldron after the failed potion production. The dotted starry sky is no longer visible, but the light of dawn has not yet arrived.

"Where is the prisoner?" Ian asked.

"Over there." Dawlish lifted his chin. Three people were trapped in the carriage-like cage. The cold fog filled the surroundings, making people tremble with the cold, and the dementors floated around the cage.Jensen, the most injured of the three, lay in his cage, moaning unconsciously; Casper sat on the ground, sobbing in a low voice; Penello rubbed his hair in awe.

"They have to follow us?" Ian asked in disgust. "I don't want to deal with dementors here."

"We don't have a choice, do we?" Dawlish shrugged, "We need them to help negotiate, and Gardvin's previous defect..."

"Gadvin escaped because they wanted to kill him!" Ian growled, "I am not a damn Scrimgeour supporter, they want to treat me as a prisoner? No way!"

"My buddy, it's useless to tell me. You know that Gardvin has taken at least half of the Aurors, and everyone is nervous now." Dawlish said nonchalantly, "I really don't understand the persistence of those people. Nian, as long as I can maintain my current life, what does it matter who is in power?"

They drove their broomsticks into the air, guarding the prison car from left to right, and a little further away, the dementor's worn robe fluttered in the wind.After the new Minister of Magic took office, perhaps he wanted to avoid a single possible problem with the escort route. He allowed Aurors to use flying broomsticks when transporting prisoners, but then they must bring dementors to avoid being treated as enemies. attack.

The scenery on the ground flowed back quickly, they crossed the plains, woods and mountains, the bright colors of the sky gradually receded from the darkness, the shadows gradually fell, and finally the outline of the sea appeared in the distance.After a safe journey, Ian gradually relaxed and finally had enough energy to start observing the surroundings.

"Did you see that way?" Delish roared beside him, the wind was loud, and only by shouting with all his strength could the other party hear clearly, "Something is shining!"

Ian looked in the direction of his fingers.Dawlish was right, the silver flash rushed close enough in the blink of an eye, and when Ian saw the true face of the light, his eyes widened in surprise, as if he had seen something that shouldn't have happened.

For example, suddenly there is a majestic lion attacking you in the sky.

The lion fluttered his mane, opened his mouth and leaped towards Ian.In panic, Ian remembered that he was an Auror after all. He drew his wand from his pocket, and the spell tore the lion to pieces. The silver-white shards gleamed in the air, and the wind swept across Ian’s cheeks. At the moment the scroll broke, the resurrected lion had already thrown down a dementor.

"Patron saint!" Dawlish exclaimed, "Someone is attacking us!"

As soon as the voice fell, a spell laser shot towards his face.Dalis quickly leaned on the broom to avoid it.Suddenly his broom shook like crazy, like a fierce horse trying to throw the rider off.If Dawlish didn't want to fall to death, he could only hold on to the broomstick tightly. He desperately watched his wand slip out of his pocket and fell into the woods below, never to be seen again.

These dementors could not get close to the sphere of influence of the patron saint, and fled one after another in the dazzling light."Either you voluntarily give up resistance; or I will turn you into a prisoner first, and then humiliate you severely." The rude warning sounded very familiar, Ian noticed the black-robed people in a circle from his side, and gave up Raised both hands to express submission to the opponent.
