Chapter 384 Dumbledore's Escape

Dumbledore, who was facing the window, seemed to have noticed Mike's gaze. He suddenly smiled and winked at Mike mischievously.

Mike's slightly open mouth immediately closed, and the admiration he had originally felt completely disappeared.

Dumbledore's action was so incongruous!

In Mike's impression, a powerful person like him should be taciturn and extremely cold, but Dumbledore behaved like this... approachable, even a little ridiculous!

"Are you all right?"

Dumbledore said with a smile.

"It's okay!" Professor McGonagall helped Ron and Neville to stand up, then looked at Fudge and others who were lying silently on the ground, "Are they okay?"

"Don't worry, I was very measured, and Delis and the others can testify for me." Dumbledore smiled and nodded to the portraits of former headmasters on the wall, then looked at the black man named Kingsley beside him with a worried look, "But I had to attack Kingsley. He was clearly speaking for me just now. Promise me, Minerva, you will apologize to him for me later.

Besides, Fudge and the others should wake up soon, and it's better for us not to let them know that we have communicated. So you'd better pretend to be knocked unconscious by me, so that..."

"Where are you going?" McGonagall suddenly interrupted, "To Black's place?"

"Oh, no." Dumbledore pursed his lips and shook his head. "Don't worry, I won't run away and hide. It won't be long before Fudge will regret that he drove me out of Hogwarts. When that time comes, I will come back, I promise you."

Professor McGonagall frowned and nodded worriedly.

Mike stepped forward and said:

"Dumbledore, I don't understand why you..."

"No, Mike, I have to do this. This is the best solution." Dumbledore smiled kindly, "Of course, I also need to ask you for something."

"Go ahead!"

"Okay." Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction, "I hope you can teach Harry how to close his brain. Oh! Don't rush to refuse, I know you have learned the brain block technique, and your level is not low.

Listen, Mike. You must teach Harry the brain block technique, this is very important, understand?"

Mike looked at Dumbledore's serious expression and finally nodded.

Snape, who had already stood up, became very ugly after hearing Dumbledore's words.

You have to know that Harry Potter's original brain-blocking tutor was him, and now Dumbledore has entrusted someone else. This is simply a great shame for him!

Of course, he actually knows that it is the most correct thing for Dumbledore to let others teach Harry Potter, because Harry Potter is particularly resistant to him, and Harry can't learn brain-blocking at all in this state.

So the fundamental reason why he feels unhappy is that in this way he has no reason to bully Harry. However

, Dumbledore did not pay attention to Snape's expression. After seeing Mike nod, Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction, and then said:

"Okay, I should go too."

After that, the phoenix Fawkes lying on Dumbledore's shoulder flapped his wings and chirped, and then a large amount of flames burst out of his body, wrapping it and Dumbledore in it!

Gradually, the flames disappeared, and Dumbledore and Fawkes also disappeared.

Mike and others were stunned, and Ron and Neville were eager to chase them.

However, at this moment, the few people lying on the floor suddenly moved.

Professor McGonagall quickly pushed Ron and Neville to the ground, and signaled with her eyes for Mike to do the same.

But she didn't need to remind him at all, Mike had already laid on the ground, pretending to be unconscious.

Not long after they lay down, the senior Aurors got up from the ground, and then Fudge and Umbridge woke up one after another.

"Where is he? Find him!"

Fudge rubbed his head and shouted anxiously.

Dawlish and others reacted quickly and began to observe the surroundings.

However, there was no sign of Dumbledore at this moment, and the surroundings were all messy garbage and various wood fragments.

"Quick! Quick! Stairs!" Fudge shouted, "He can't Apparate in Hogwarts, he must have run down the stairs, go chase him!"

Dawlish shook his head helplessly and said:

"It's useless, Mr. Minister. You probably forgot that Dumbledore has a phoenix, and the phoenix can Apparate with people. And what's worse is that the anti-Apparition spell in Hogwarts is ineffective against the phoenix. In other words, Dumbledore must have been sent away by the phoenix."

Fudge stared at Dawlish for a long time before reacting. He kicked the wall fiercely, shaking the magic portraits on it and also incurring a scolding from the portraits.

At this time, Mike, McGonagall and others also stood up pretending to have just woken up.

"Hmph! Minerva." Fudge patted the dust off himself and said viciously, "He won't always be so lucky, I promise!"

"Really? I don't think so."

As if he was angered by Professor McGonagall's words, he waved his hands fiercely at McGonagall, Mike and others, and said:

"We'll see when the time comes! But now, you'd better take them away from here!"

Professor McGonagall did not say anything else, and silently led Mike, Ron and others out the door.

Mike looked deeply at the embarrassed Fudge, with a meaningful smile on his face.

...

Today is Friday, Mike and others should have gone to class as usual.

But after leaving the principal's office, Professor McGonagall asked Mike and others to return directly to their respective lounges so that they could make up for the fatigue of last night.

Mike did not have any psychological burden, so he slept soundly.

When he woke up and went to the hall to enjoy dinner, he found that a notice had been posted in every corner of Hogwarts.

Ministry of Magic Order

Dolores Jane Umbridge (Senior Inquisitor) is hereby appointed as the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to replace Dumbledore, who has fled from the crime.

The above regulations are in accordance with the Education Order No. 28.

Signed:

Minister of Magic

Cornelius Oswald Fudge

Seeing that Mike had woken up, the members of the Mutual Aid Society also dutifully began to report to Mike about the changes in the school that day.

Mike then discovered that there are all kinds of opinions about this notice in Hogwarts now.

Some people swear that Dumbledore and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic had a shocking battle, and they also retreated after killing several Aurors.

Some people also said that Fudge and his men attacked Dumbledore, but were all defeated by Dumbledore. Poor Fudge was seriously injured, his head swollen as big as a pumpkin, and he was lying in St. Mungo's to heal his wounds.

But no matter what the statement is, one thing is confirmed.

That is, a violent conflict broke out between Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, and then Dumbledore left Hogwarts.

As for the punishment of Mike and others, the members of the mutual aid society also heard some news.

The new headmaster Umbridge did not seem to have any intention of punishing Mike and others.

Mike guessed that she had just taken over Hogwarts and was immersed in the feast of power and had no time to care about them.

Shaking his head, Mike came to the corner of the hall, where Harry, Hermione and others were gathered to comfort Ron, who was covering his face, and Neville, who looked lost.

"Mike, are you okay?"

Hermione stood up from her seat excitedly and groped Mike hard.

"I'm fine, Hermione." Mike stopped Hermione's action and said with a smile, "I feel great after a good sleep."

"You actually fell asleep?"

Ron said in disbelief.

"Of course!"

"Oh! That's great, I feel terrible!" Ron lowered his head in disappointment, "I didn't close my eyes at all."

Hearing this, Harry and Hermione looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

Obviously, they had already persuaded Ron before Mike arrived, but the effect was not very good.

"Dumbledore left, it's all my fault! If it weren't for me not being able to keep a secret, Umbridge, the old toad, would never have been the headmaster!"

As soon as these words came out, Mike noticed that Hermione beside him lowered her head in disappointment.

Mike knew very well that she must be blaming herself at this moment.

Because the list full of DA members was actually kept by her.

But in order to save trouble, she did not hide the list well, but hung it directly in the Room of Requirement as a normal roll call manual.

This also made it easy for Umbridge's men to find the list, which indirectly forced Dumbledore to leave Hogwarts.

Mike didn't say anything, but patted Hermione's back gently and gave her a comforting look.

The latter forced a very forced smile at Mike.

"Oh! You can't be blamed for this!" Harry frowned and said, "We all know that Umbridge used terrible torture on you to make you speak. The result would be the same no matter who was in charge!"

Mike's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and he looked at Neville and said,

"That's not necessarily true."

Harry also noticed Neville, and his expression immediately became very embarrassed.

"No, I'm just a waste!" Ron hung his head in frustration, "They used the same torture on Neville, but Neville insisted on not saying anything, while I... woo woo woo!"

Mike and others looked at each other in silence, while Neville raised his hands, a little overwhelmed.

After crying for a while, Ron raised his head again and said to Neville:

"Neville, if anyone says that you are not worthy of Gryffindor College in the future, I will definitely kick their asses! Your courage is stronger than all of us! I wish I had your courage!"

Mike nodded silently. As a time traveler who has read the complete original book, he has a deep impression of the character of Neville.

This little fat boy who initially looked cowardly and incompetent actually has great courage in his heart. He is definitely the little wizard who best represents the spirit of Gryffindor in the entire Hogwarts.

Such a character deserves any boasting!

Harry and others also nodded when they heard this, but they didn't say anything. It can be seen that their mood has become not so good because of Dumbledore's departure.

Mike shook his head and said to Harry:

"Harry, are you still learning brain occlusion from Snape now?"

After this, Harry looked at Mike in surprise, and the expression on his face became very strange.

"Uh, yes." Harry said awkwardly, "But I had an accident recently, and I found out... Hey! Forget it, I won't say it anymore!"

Looking at Harry's dejected look, Mike immediately understood what was going on.

The plot of the original book should have happened. Harry should have used the armor to bounce back the Legilimency spell that Snape used to test the effect of his brain closure, and thus knew what happened between Snape and his father.

As for the experience between Snape and Harry Potter's father, James Potter, it was a complete tragedy in Mike's opinion.

Young Snape and his childhood sweetheart, the beautiful girl Lily Potter, entered Hogwarts together, and the two entered Slytherin College and Gryffindor College respectively.

Later, James Potter took Lily away from Snape with his humorous personality, handsome appearance and prominent family background.

And because of jealousy and Gryffindor's natural disgust for Slytherin, James also teamed up with Sirius and others to bully Snape inhumanely.

Of course, this is entirely McGonagall's personal opinion. The love-hate relationship between them is too complicated to say who is right and who is wrong, but there is no doubt that Snape must have been treated badly by James.

And what Harry saw was exactly the situation where his father bullied Snape.

That's why Harry's expression was so tangled.

After all, his father had always been a righteous and good man in his imagination. Now that he suddenly discovered his father's dark history when he was young, Harry couldn't accept it at all.

Shaking his head, Mike continued:

"Well, what I want to say is that I actually know how to do Occlumency. I didn't tell you before because Snape's teaching skills are better. Now if you think Snape can't teach you, then you can try to let me teach you."

Hearing this, Harry and Hermione's expressions became very exciting.

"Really!? This is really great!" Harry jumped up from his seat and shouted excitedly, "I can finally stop tolerating that old bat Snape!"

"Then come directly to my dormitory after class tomorrow, and I will have lessons with you there. Originally, the Room of Requirement was the best choice, but now...ah, never mind."

"Understood, I'll be there on time!"

Mike nodded with satisfaction and was about to leave, but Hermione said weakly at this time:

"Um..."

"What's wrong, Hermione?"

"Can I go? I also want to learn the Brain Blocking Spell."

"Of course, I welcome everyone who wants to learn." Mike said with a smile, "The same goes for you, Ron, Neville. If you want to learn, you can come too."
