Chapter 539 Unexpected reinforcements

"How come you are here?"

Benjamin and Harry said at the same time.

Harry quickly reacted and explained:

"We were just about to go find Professor McGonagall. Her Transfiguration class had already started, but she didn't come. So we came to see the situation. After all, you know, it's incredible that this kind of thing happened to Professor McGonagall."

Hearing this, Benjamin nodded in agreement. He knew very well that Professor McGonagall was indeed the kind of person who was strict to others and herself.

At this time, Hermione's eyes lit up. She looked at Benjamin with a piercing gaze and said impatiently:

"How is Mike's current situation? Have you found a way to rescue him?"

"I came here today for this matter." Benjamin shook the file bag in his hand and said, "Dumbledore gave us some help."

"How is this possible?"

Harry and the other two said in unison. In their opinion, it was already very good that Mike and Dumbledore didn't fight when they met under the current circumstances. How could they help each other?

But then they fell silent again. As Dumbledore's students and Mike's friends, they had no right to comment on this matter.

"We can help, too."

After a long silence, Hermione finally said.

Benjamin smiled bitterly and said to the three people:

"I have received your kindness, but forget it. This matter is too dangerous and not suitable for the three of you to participate. Especially Harry and Ron. If I ask you two to help, Sirius and Mrs. Weasley will definitely kill me."

Hearing this, Harry and Ron also lowered their heads. They also knew that what Benjamin said was true. Black and the Weasleys would definitely be willing to participate in rescuing Mike, but once they were involved, it would be completely different.

But Hermione was still unwilling to give up, and gritted her teeth and said:

"No, we must help if we can!"

"This..."

Benjamin smacked his lips and was about to continue persuading, but saw Hermione continue:

"House elves, those house elves in the Hogwarts kitchen are also willing to help!"

"House elves?"

"Yes, those house elves are willing to do anything for Mike!"

"Well," Benjamin narrowed his eyes and pondered, "In this case, it's not impossible to ask you to help."

Hearing this, Harry and Ron looked at each other, and Hermione's face showed a surprised expression. She dragged Benjamin and started running towards the kitchen.

This scared Benjamin. Although he was a big man and his strength was naturally not less than Hermione, he knew the relationship between Hermione and Mike very well, and was afraid that he would hurt Hermione if he stopped suddenly, so he could only let Hermione drag him all the way to the kitchen.

At this time, the kitchen of Hogwarts was still a scene of bustling activity. In other words, the kitchen of Hogwarts was very busy most of the day. It was not an easy task to provide food and drink for the entire Ministry of Magic school. The house elves could only rest for a while late at night.

But even so, there were still naughty children who always came to them in the middle of the night to ask for supper!

From a human perspective, this was even more excessive than "blessings", but the house elves thought that this was a real blessing.

After all, in the consciousness of the house elves, work was the meaning of their existence. The more work they did, the happier they were.

Just like at this moment, although there was a lot of work on hand, they still sent a few house elves to receive Hermione and Benjamin when they saw them coming.

After learning that Benjamin was actually a good friend of Mike, the performance of the house elves became more submissive and excited.

This made Benjamin understand two things. One was that Mike's reputation among the house elves in Hogwarts was really high. Second, what Hermione said before was not empty talk.

Thinking of this, Benjamin directly informed the house-elves of Mike's current situation and asked for their help.

But he didn't expect that the house-elves looked confused after hearing his words.

"Um, you mean... Mr. Mike Townley is in trouble and needs our help?"

One of the house-elves with the biggest ears asked hesitantly.

Just by looking at his expression, Benjamin knew that the other party didn't understand most of what he had just said. Shaking his head, Benjamin simply gave up the idea of ​​explaining to the other party and said directly:

"Yes, when the time comes, I will need you to leave Hogwarts with us to help Mike."

"This..."

Hearing this, several house-elves showed difficulty on their faces, and Benjamin was also very considerate of them. Knowing that their identities did not allow them to leave Hogwarts casually, he said:

"How about this, you can mention this matter to Dumbledore first, I believe he will agree."

Having said that, the house-elves had no reason to refuse, and finally nodded with gritted teeth, and quickly disappeared into the kitchen, probably to discuss with other house-elves.

Hermione saw all of this from the side. She frowned and said in an apologetic voice:

"Sorry, Benjamin, I didn't expect it would be so troublesome for them to leave Hogwarts."

"It's okay, I believe Dumbledore will agree."

Benjamin's mouth corners rose. Although he didn't understand why Dumbledore wanted to help them, judging from the current situation, the other party was still very sincere.

Benjamin believed that Dumbledore would not be reluctant to let go of some house elves.

At the same time, the matter of the house elves also reminded Benjamin.

There are actually many powers that they can use in Hogwarts.

You must know that since ancient times, students have been the most easily exploited group, and because of their identity issues, the effect these people can exert is much greater than that of ordinary people!

The only problem is that it is not very ethical to do so. After all, these are all their classmates. Benjamin is undoubtedly using his classmates as cannon fodder. But Benjamin can't care so much now that things have developed to this point. As long as Mike can be rescued, no matter how big the sacrifice is, it is worth it in his opinion!

Secretly making up his mind, Benjamin took Hermione and Harry and Ron, who came panting later, to visit the prefects of various colleges, and easily obtained their support.

Benjamin was not surprised at all. After all, Mike's reputation in Hogwarts was too loud!

I believe that as long as those prefects nod, and with the encouragement of those prospective employees of Los Santos Security Company, it won't take long for them to have a special student team!

After doing all this, Benjamin said goodbye to Harry and others, and returned to the Masonic Secret Realm with satisfaction.

But what he didn't know was that everything he did in Hogwarts today had been recorded by Professor McGonagall!

Looking at Benjamin's gradually disappearing figure, Professor McGonagall's lips were almost squeezed into a pile!

When Benjamin completely disappeared, she turned around and left, and walked to the principal's office at almost the fastest speed in her life, and stood in front of Dumbledore.

Dumbledore at this time was much better than the last time he met Chris.

Although his body was still shriveled like a mummy, at least the strong smell of decay had disappeared from him.

Looking at Dumbledore on the recliner, Professor McGonagall's eyes instinctively flashed a trace of sadness, but she quickly adjusted her emotions and poured out all of Benjamin's actions.

After saying that, Professor McGonagall was so angry that she was shaking. She stood there and gritted her teeth and said,

"Albus! You must stop him! He wants to tie the students of Hogwarts to their chariots! Those students will not have a good result if they fall into it!"

But Dumbledore's face showed no expression. He said slowly in a dry voice,

"Promise him."

"You can't..."

"Promise him!"

Professor McGonagall stopped talking. She just stood there, looking at the unrecognizable Dumbledore on the recliner with the eyes of a stranger.

In her impression, Dumbledore was definitely the person who loved students the most in the whole Hogwarts, but now, such a headmaster personally sent his students into the fire pit.

For a moment, Professor McGonagall even thought that Dumbledore had been released from the Imperius Curse.

Fortunately, she woke up quickly.

Because Dumbledore was originally that kind of "good person".

Since he could personally get rid of McTownley, a student he had high hopes for, for the sake of peace in the wizarding world, he could naturally sacrifice other students for the same reason.

For a moment, Professor McGonagall's eyes turned cold when she looked at Dumbledore. The

reason why she had stayed with Dumbledore for so many years was that she liked the profession of professor, and she still had some fantasies about Dumbledore, hoping to have an answer.

But now it seems that even after so many years, Dumbledore is still the same Dumbledore, without any change.

Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore coldly and left without looking back.

Dumbledore on the recliner naturally noticed the change in Professor McGonagall's mood. He sighed heavily and cast his sight out the window again.

"McTownley, it's up to you now."

...

'Where is this...? That's right! I was defeated by Dumbledore, so this is hell? '

Mike thought in confusion, perhaps because he had slept for too long, his mind was always hazy now, but soon, his conclusion was overturned, because as his consciousness gradually became clearer and his perception gradually recovered, waves of piercing pain quickly came from all parts of his body!

As we all know, dead people can't feel pain.

After confirming that he was still alive, Mike didn't open his eyes immediately, but tried to keep his body still, while stretching his body with a small amplitude.

This is the valuable experience he has gained from years of struggling in society!

And through this method, Mike quickly confirmed three things.

First, he should have been locked up by someone, and judging from the restraints on his wrists and ankles and the posture of his body, he should have been tied to something similar to a cross.

Second, his body was still normal, at least his limbs were still intact, and there was no missing limbs. As for whether the fifth limb was still there, Mike didn't know, but judging from the fact that there was no pain in his lower body, there should be no problem.

Third, the person who imprisoned him should have cast a special spell on him that was similar to the spell of relaxing his strength and suppressing the recovery of his magic power, which caused him to be not only limp without any strength, but also almost exhausted his mental strength and magic power, and extremely weak.

After figuring out these points, Mike breathed a sigh of relief and began to feel heavy.

Although it seems that his life safety is not a problem at present, no matter who imprisoned him, the means used are too comprehensive, right?

With these restrictions on his strength, it is now difficult for him to twist his limbs, let alone break free!

Thinking of this, Mike gave up pretending and opened his eyes directly.

All he saw was pitch black.

This was not unexpected to Mike. After all, if there was light, he could sense it even with his eyes closed.

But the strange thing is that it is reasonable that human eyes can gradually adapt to changes in external light, so even at night, as long as there is some light, normal people can vaguely see some things.

But at this moment, Mike can only see darkness.

This is extremely unscientific.

Seeing this, Mike's last bit of luck was extinguished.

Because he knew very well that the reason for this situation was actually very simple. Either he was directly sealed in a completely sealed object, or there was a large amount of mysterious substance around him that was similar to the "darkest black in the world" that did not refract light at all.

But no matter which situation it was, it was not something Mike could solve now.

After figuring this out, Mike could only close his eyes again and think about Dumbledore.

Mike actually knew why Dumbledore wanted to attack him. He

was just afraid that Mike would become the next generation of the Dark Lord and mess up the magic world.

But Mike really didn't expect that Dumbledore still had the strength to spare and was willing to use this last bit of strength to deal with him.

In Mike's opinion, shouldn't he and Dumbledore already be friends?

Or a relatively good relationship.

Facing his good friend, Dumbledore could actually do it! ?

Dumbledore! Are you really a cold-blooded animal?

Unable to suppress it, a rage quickly rose from Mike's heart, gradually expanded and spread, and finally turned into a raging flame!
