Chapter 412 Good things happen to good people
When Mike settled the Los Santos wizards and Arthur back to Hogwarts, the sky was already bright.
Mike originally thought that the army members who had been tossing around with them in the Ministry of Magic all night should have been exhausted by now, but he obviously underestimated the vitality of young people.
Because when he came to the auditorium to eat some breakfast to replenish his energy, he suddenly found that the army members were telling other students about the battle in the Ministry of Magic last night!
And looking at their excited expressions, it didn't look like they hadn't slept all night.
Mike's arrival instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the auditorium, and the first guy who discovered Mike exclaimed, and the whole auditorium was in an uproar!
"Mike! I heard that you killed a lot of Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic last night?"
"Oh my God, I heard that you killed them all, is that true?"
...
Looking at the students who were chattering around him, Mike suddenly felt a headache, but he still had a helpless smile on his face, explaining what happened last night to the students around him over and over again.
However, when talking to these students, Mike also noticed that there were no faculty members in the hall at this time, and the Slytherin students were also gathered in a remote corner of the hall at this moment. From their expressions, they were not in a very good mood.
After finally getting rid of the "siege" of these people, Mike sat down and began to prepare to enjoy his breakfast.
However, just as he took a sip of milk, Hermione's familiar voice came from beside him.
"Mike, are you seriously injured?"
"Oh! Thank you for your concern, Hermione." Mike muttered while eating, "But I must reiterate again that I am not injured, I am just a little weak now because of excessive consumption of magic power, which is why I am in a hurry to eat breakfast."
"Really? Then you should eat more quickly, and I will give you my share too!"
Hermione's face showed a surprise when she heard it, and she pushed her unfinished breakfast in front of Mike.
Looking at the bread that had been bitten twice, Mike was about to refuse, but Harry's voice came from the side again.
"Mike, is Sirius okay?"
Mike turned his head and saw that Harry's face was not very good at the moment, and he was obviously a little worried. He said:
"Black was injured, but it's not a problem. I have arranged for him to go to St. Mungo's. You know, the medical level in the wizarding world is much higher than that in the Muggle world, so you don't have to worry."
"Really? That's great." Harry finally smiled, "What about Dumbledore and the others? Aren't they with Sirius?"
Mike's expression became a little stiff after hearing this. Black is a senior member of the Order of the Phoenix. To be honest, Dumbledore and the others should indeed send someone to take care of Black.
But at this moment, there are only Los Santos Group staff around Black.
This is not that Dumbledore doesn't care about Black. In fact, the person who doesn't want any member of the Order of the Phoenix to take care of him is Black. Mike guessed that he was frightened by Moody's ruthless attempt to kill him, so he also had some bad thoughts about the Order of the Phoenix.
However, Mike was also happy to see this happen. After all, if Black really had some conflicts with the Order of the Phoenix, then his success in recruiting Black into the Los Santos Group would soar.
Thinking of this, Mike raised his eyebrows and said:
"Dumbledore and the others have other things to deal with, so they are not in St. Mungo's. But don't worry, I have sent someone to Black's place, and he will not be in danger."
"That's good."
Harry let out a long sigh, and the faint worry between his eyebrows gradually dissipated.
Then, Harry and others asked Mike many questions, including whether he really met Voldemort last night. After Mike answered truthfully, the crowd watching on the side also exclaimed.
To be honest, everyone still has many questions to ask. After all, a big event like last night may not happen once in decades in the wizarding world.
But unfortunately, today is the day of the Transfiguration exam. After Mike answered several questions in a row, the bell rang to remind the students that the exam was about to begin.
Seeing the students around him leave the temporary restaurant with sad faces, Mike also breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he didn't really like dealing with this kind of situation, because it was too tiring.
The process of the Transfiguration exam was basically the same as the previous spells exam, consisting of a theoretical written exam in the morning and a practical exam in the afternoon.
And Mike was surprised to find that the types of questions in the two exams were almost the same, all of which were about a lot of spellcasting taboos.
This made Mike feel a sudden reduction in pressure. He was a complete pragmatist, so most of the knowledge he mastered was for practical use.
So what Mike was most afraid of was that the examiner would give some knowledge that was of little use value and very remote. Fortunately, knowledge such as spellcasting taboos also belonged to practical knowledge, so Mike's written exam went very smoothly.
It is worth mentioning that after the initial excitement, the members of the da army who participated in the Ministry of Magic's action last night also began to yawn.
Fortunately, everyone drank the Dolphin Magic Drink before entering the examination room, so although they yawned constantly, generally speaking, no one fell asleep in the examination room.
Compared with the written test in the morning, the practical test in the afternoon was easier for Mike.
Because Professor McGonagall predicted the topic very accurately, the main topic of the practical test was the Vanishing Charm.
Many students breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the test subject. In the past two months, Professor McGonagall tried her best to make them learn the Vanishing Charm, so as of now, almost all students have been able to skillfully make invertebrates disappear without a trace.
And this is exactly the minimum requirement for passing the ordinary owl exam. In other words, as long as you review seriously and are not ridiculously stupid, you can basically get an 'A (pass)' grade for the Transfiguration owl exam.
Of course, the ratings of good and excellent still require you to go further on the basis of passing, and Professor McGonagall's newt-level Transfiguration course will only accept students who have at least obtained the owl 'O (excellent)' grade certificate. This means that the 'A' grade owl certificate is just a certificate of proficiency to save your face, and it is not of much use.
But even so, most of the students were happy after the exam, even Hermione and Neville, who were always worried about their exam results.
After the exam, Mike's troubles came again.
Except for a few people who were extremely energetic or had a strong desire to show off (Ron), the soldiers who participated in the action last night had gone back to catch up on their sleep and rest, after all, there were other exams the next day.
But those ordinary students who did not participate in the action and only heard about the content of the action were different.
They surrounded Mike, the initiator, almost as soon as the exam was over, wanting to know more details.
Mike was naturally overwhelmed by this, but fortunately the members of the mutual aid association were not vegetarians. They originally felt a little guilty for not participating in the action last night. When they saw Mike being surrounded, they immediately surrounded Mike to help him out.
With their help, Mike also successfully got rid of the siege and came directly to the forest villa of the Order of the Phoenix through Shuke.
...
In the forest villa, as soon as Mike stepped into the hall, he was taken to a guest room by the enthusiastic house elf Little Teacup.
The facilities in the guest room are much better than other places in the villa. Whether it is the solid wood bed or the various furniture, it feels more like home.
Mike was surprised by the layout of this guest room at first, but when he saw Lupin lying on the bed, he understood instantly.
This room is basically a hospital room.
Lupin on the bed was covered with a white quilt, his eyes were closed and he was obviously still asleep. His face looked very ugly. Tonks was looking at him with a worried look on her face, and she didn't even notice Mike's arrival.
Dumbledore, who was also in the ward, noticed Mike's arrival, but before Mike could speak, he gave Mike a "go out and talk" gesture, and then took Mike out of the ward.
"How is Lupin?"
As soon as he walked out of the room, Mike couldn't wait to ask about Lupin's situation. Mike still had a good impression of this former professor, so he didn't want him to get into trouble.
"I asked many old friends to help, they are all renowned healers." Dumbledore's expression was a little ugly, "But, the diagnosis they gave was not very good."
"He's going to die? This shouldn't be!"
Mike's expression became extremely surprised. Last night at the Ministry of Magic, he also made a preliminary observation of Lupin's injuries. Apart from the loss of a hand and some damage to his internal organs, there was basically nothing serious.
But now Dumbledore said that Lupin was about to die?
"Well, that's not the case." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, "It's just that his hand has been eaten by Fenrir, and when we found him, there was no way to reattach it. So, Lupin will most likely lose his right hand forever."
Hearing this, Mike let out a long sigh and said,
"Huh! Isn't this great?"
"Huh? What's good about it?"
"Professor Lupin has lost his right hand now, and his fighting ability has been greatly reduced. Instead of letting him drag his crippled body into dangerous work again, it is better to let him retire and find a place to spend the rest of his life." Mike said as a matter of course, "Although it is a bit early to retire before the age of 40, it is actually a good thing for him. After all, the work of fighting Voldemort is too dangerous. He survived this time entirely because the goddess of luck favored him."
After this, Dumbledore did not speak. He just turned his head and looked quietly at the closed door of the ward, as if he could see Lupin and Tonks inside through the door.
Sighing, Mike continued:
"Don't tell me you can't see, Dumbledore. Tonks likes Lupin, and doesn't even care about his identity as a werewolf. This is rare. Generally, werewolves like Professor Lupin can only be single for life. After all, the offspring of a werewolf will also be werewolves. This time, with the death of Fenrir, Lupin's obsession has disappeared. If he and Tonks can find a safe place to get married, and then have a few children to spend their lives, it should be the best ending for Lupin. I think Professor Lupin is a respectable person. The suffering he suffered in the first half of his life is enough for him to spend the second half of his life happily. What do you think?"
The scene was silent again. Dumbledore seemed to have not heard Mike's words, still staring at the door of the ward.
And Mike did not speak, just quietly waiting for Dumbledore's decision.
In his opinion, if Lupin can really retire due to injury this time, and then marry Tonks and spend the rest of his life happily, then this will undoubtedly be a happy ending for Lupin.
However, this would make the already understaffed Order of the Phoenix even weaker, so the final solution would still depend on Dumbledore's decision. Otherwise, if Dumbledore didn't let go, Tonks and Lupin would never leave the Order of the Phoenix.
Finally, after a long silence, a smile appeared on Dumbledore's face.
He slowly turned his head, looked at Mike with a look of relief and said:
"Mike, I'm very glad that you can think of this. It proves that you are a kind child."
Mike's expression was a little unnatural. After all, his mental age was over fifty years old. He would definitely feel embarrassed to be called a child again, but looking at Dumbledore's sincere smile, Mike nodded decisively and said:
"I just hope that a good person like Lupin can have a good ending."
"You are right, good people should be rewarded. I accept your proposal, and after Lupin wakes up, I will consult Tonks and Lupin separately. If they are both willing, we will do as you said." "
That would be great."
Mike's face also broke into a smile. He turned his head to look at the closed door of the ward, and in his heart he was happy for Lupin's upcoming new life.
"You didn't come to me today just to talk about this, did you?" Dumbledore continued, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Mike looked at Dumbledore again, the smile on his face became more meaningful, and said:
"Of course, I came here today mainly to have a good talk with you about the secret of Voldemort's resurrection." As
soon as these words came out, Dumbledore's expression changed, he looked at Mike in surprise, and was a little stunned.
