Chapter 400 "Dobby's" Midnight Plea for Help! Gathering at the Mysterious Affairs Department! (Two-in-One)
Ethan stroked the smooth yet hard scales in his hand.
Feel the profound vitality inherent in dragons.
When concocted using secret methods, this magical potion can grant the user the power and vitality of a dragon, generating immense energy!
"I've been searching for it for so long, but I got it without any effort at all."
Ethan curled the corners of his mouth, put away the dragon molt, and felt a burning desire in his heart.
With that, all the preparations are now complete!
All that remains is to race against death, using everything at all costs to create a painting powerful enough to "kill the gods"!
In Ethan's cobalt blue eyes, calm as the ocean, a dark glint, like the prelude to a storm, surged.
He raised his head and looked at the white dragon that had been reborn.
Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly felt an incredibly powerful aura continuing to approach!
"roar--!!"
A roar, dozens of times more powerful than the white dragon's cry, swept in from afar!
As if a gust of wind had swept through, the trees shook violently.
Hair and robes billowed up, and the students had to struggle to keep their balance so as not to be knocked over!
next second.
Accompanied by a chilling pressure, a huge shadow descended from above!
A pair of scarlet vertical pupils emerged from the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, a jet-black claw, as large as half the white dragon's body, suddenly seized its gleaming, beautiful body!
"call!"
With a flap of its wings, the carriage could move freely, ignoring the white dragon's terrified howls.
In the blink of an eye, the entire dragon soared into the air!
Carrying its "trophies," it leisurely flew into the depths of the forbidden forest.
"roar"
The students stared in disbelief at the two figures that were getting further and further away.
A gradually fading roar echoed from the sky.
"...That...that was the Norwegian Ridgeback from before?" Ron trembled as he reached out his hand, his eyes wide open. "I remember it was definitely a female dinosaur."
The son is not her own, and the husband was taken from her.
What a well-assembled family!
Are all dragons this wild?!
Ethan also fell silent, which was unusual for him.
After a long while, he raised his wand and emitted golden streaks of light like fireworks.
Looking at the two dragons that had turned into black dots in the distance, he smiled and said, "Happy wedding."
Everyone:
'
Don't just accept it like that!!
Hermione: "But it seems... there's really nothing we can do. The white dragon is male, and it's also a Norwegian Ridgeback, so there's no reproductive isolation."
Considering the enormous size difference between the mother dragon and the white dragon...
Well, I can only silently wish it peace in the future.
This little incident brought the students an unprecedented grand drama about the dragon race.
It also completely ruined this amazing animal protection class, which was already teetering on the edge of illegality.
The emotionally charged Hagrid clapped for the happiness of the Forbidden Forest dragons, wetting his third handkerchief in the process.
Finally, belatedly, I realized:
His lesson plan for this class has flown away.
Not only that, the lesson plan also attacked his students, incidentally ruining his teaching career as well.
His face immediately turned as pale as snow.
Looking at Professor Norn in despair, he finally slumped down, saying, "I... I just wanted to give my students the most interesting lesson on magical creature conservation... but I've messed everything up again."
"Thank you for protecting my students just now, Merlin. I can't believe what a tragedy would have happened without you! I will never forgive myself!"
Large tears streamed down Hagrid's face.
He sobbed and wailed, "I...I'm a complete failure! I'm utterly unfit to be a professor! I should just be a hunting ground manager for life, thanks to Headmaster Dumbledore's kindness!"
Hagrid's wild howls echoed through the silent Forbidden Forest.
The students looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Hermione sighed and muttered, "Unless Hagrid abandons his idea of being 'funny,' he's really not cut out to be a professor."
Some of the students, including her, even looked at Professor Norn with some anticipation.
Hopefully, he can find a reasonable way to get Hagrid to give up the Magical Creatures Protection class.
However-
"very good."
Ethan raised his head slightly and looked at Hagrid with admiration: "You did indeed give me a very good lesson. You passed the test."
"I hope you keep it up and keep up the good work."
talking.
Ethan picked up the notebook with satisfaction and put a big checkmark next to the name "Rupert Hagrid".
Hagrid: "I'm packing my bags and leaving right now. I understand your dissatisfaction—what?"
He froze, looked up, and stared blankly at Ethan with bloodshot eyes.
It's like suddenly not understanding English anymore.
"Blood mother hell!" Ron slapped his forehead and said in despair, "I knew this would happen."
The torture and persecution of magical creatures are forbidden, so they've turned to persecuting students instead.
This makes sense.jpg
Hermione also let out a long sigh, but she felt relieved.
Looking at Hagrid's delighted face, he couldn't help but give a helpless yet gentle smile.
Hagrid: "W-why? I totally messed up this lesson!"
Ethan thought to himself, "Hmm, I don't think you messed up the class; your topic was very interesting. I think all you need is a helper."
talking.
Ethan pressed the tip of his tongue against his palate and let out a short, sharp whistle.
Almost the instant the whistle blew, a streak of red light teleported over!
In the blink of an eye, a tall figure clad in silver-white armor appeared silently before Ethan.
Kneeling on one knee and bowing his head, he displayed absolute respect and obedience!
Only the two constantly trembling pointed ears and the incessantly wagging tail revealed the newcomer's inner joy and excitement.
"A werewolf?!"
Hermione gasped, staring in astonishment at the thick, flowing fur.
This is actually a werewolf knight with reason!
"It's been a long time, Miss Eve Black, my most loyal knight."
Ethan laughed, raised his hand, and ruffled the fluffy wolf's head.
It feels so good, I couldn't help but knead it a few more times.
Then you could see its fluffy tail wagging even more enthusiastically, just like a snowplow.
Ethan turned to meet Hagrid's surprised gaze and said, "Protecting students is a professor's duty. How can I abandon teaching just because there's a slight danger in the classroom?"
Ethan waved his hand and said in a booming voice, "Don't worry! My purpose in coming here is precisely to help you professors teach better and enable students to learn more!"
"Therefore, I will send my wolf riders to protect the students."
"From now on, if students encounter any sudden danger in the Forbidden Forest, she will lend a helping hand."
Originally, the wolf riders were meant to protect the students who entered the Forbidden Forest to some extent.
Now, the only change is that the protection period has been extended from nighttime to daytime.
Ethan looked at the stunned Hagrid and gave him an encouraging look: "From now on, you don't have to be so restrained anymore, you can attend classes to your heart's content."
"I believe that under your guidance, the students will gain a deeper understanding of magical creatures."
Who knows, maybe we'll see another Newt-like senior.
Yes, yes!
Hagrid was so excited he trembled, looking at Ethan with eyes that seemed to worship him.
He immediately started planning: "I also have a second Blasttail, a hybrid of a Thestral and a Unicorn, and yes! We can also go visit the Giants! Gropp must be really looking forward to seeing his new friends."
Incessant chatter.
The students' faces looked as if they had seen a direct route to hell.
Perhaps hell is more than Hagrid's Forbidden Forest in the mortal world.
Ron: "...Hermione, do you still have a Time-Turner? I want to go back to when I first chose my courses in third grade and strangle the me who chose Magical Creatures Protection!!"
If he had known from the start that there were those who "aid and abet evil," he might as well have just jumped into the Black Lake!
At this time.
Ron suddenly remembered something.
He exclaimed "Huh?" and looked at the wolf knight who was affectionately rubbing his head against Ethan's palm, asking in confusion, "How come I remember that wolf knight being Ethan's subordinate?"
"George and Fred told me that the key ingredient for making the werewolf potion, the field of evening primroses, is guarded by a wolf knight."
"Could it be the other one?"
If you sneak into the forbidden forest at night, she will most likely throw you out.
A flash of red light, and the person had already flown out of the forbidden forest.
Because Professor Norn is Ethan.
Harry silently grumbled to himself, without responding.
He staggered to his feet, staring at the cracked open space left by the white dragon, clenching his fists, and muttered, "I was saved by Ethan again..."
'
After Hagrid's wondrous adventure in the Forbidden Forest came to an end.
Professor Norn was actively present in every classroom.
He filled the Transfiguration classroom with jagged snakes, which not only bent the wooden beams but also made Professor McGonagall furious.
During Potions class, a few strands of red hair floated up from Professor Snape's cauldron, successfully eliciting the old bat's most piercing scream.
He messed up almost every subject, from divination to botany.
For some reason, Professor Norn remained completely quiet during Charms class.
At the end of class, he praised Professor Flitwick, calling him one of the best professors he had ever met.
Professor Flitwick, who had been looking rather gloomy, was so flattered that he accidentally fell off the tall stack of books.
But apart from that, Professor Norn was never seen.
Even though Hermione chased after him with a pile of books as soon as get out of class ended.
They could only watch helplessly as Professor Norn walked straight into the wall and disappeared.
...It's like the world has bugged out.
"Or perhaps, Professor Norn himself is a bug."
Dean Thomas, a Muggle-born football enthusiast, summarized with exaggerated gestures: "You guys know what a bug is? It's when something goes wrong in a Muggle game."
"That's good, General." Ron lazily devoured Seamus's King. "Professor Norn is always busy with something, which is good, as he doesn't have time to bother with us."
"And recently, Harry hasn't been having nightmares anymore. Everything is getting better—unless it's the Overwatch exam."
Harry, sitting alone on the sofa, managed a weak smile, his face gloomy.
Is everything getting better...?
For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
In the past five years, there has never been a single end of the semester that went smoothly.
Will nothing really happen this time?
Harry thought of Ethan's undisguised attitude, and a strong sense of unease arose within him.
It's as if... he's destined to lose something.
And soon, Harry's premonition came true.
With the Overwatch Common Wizarding Level exams approaching, Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Norn left the school together.
Together with the other examiners, they discussed and decided on the content of the exam.
That night.
A figure burst into the Gryffindor dormitory.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Potter..."
..!
Harry was jolted awake by a violent shaking. He opened his eyes groggily and immediately spotted two "big light bulbs" pressed against his face!
"Hooray—"
"Bang!"
A strong, sweaty hand covered Harry's mouth tightly, forcibly silencing his shout.
Harry hurriedly put on his glasses, surprised, "Dobby? What are you doing here?"
Round, big eyes, pointed, long ears, and a thin, bony body.
Without a doubt, it was Dobby, the free elf and Harry's loyal companion!
Dobby blinked his bloodshot eyes and whispered urgently, "Something terrible has happened! Dobby has something very important to tell Mr. Potter. Poor Sirius Black has been kidnapped by Ethan Vincent!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing his godfather's name, Harry's eyes widened instantly! His heart leaped into his throat!
He grabbed Dobby by the shoulder and demanded, "What happened?! Ethan kidnapped Sirius? Why...why would he do that?"
Dobby: "Dobby didn't know the reason either, he only heard Ethan say something about 'sacrifice' and 'ritual'..."
'
Sacrifice, ritual?
That's exactly the kind of thing Ethan would do.
Harry was in a state of panic, and cold sweat seeped from his forehead.
Dobby kept urging, "Come quick, Mr. Potter! They're going to the Department of Mysteries. Dobby heard Ethan call out his name when they moved!"
"It will be too late if we wait any longer, Mr. Potter!"
Urged on repeatedly, Harry paused, then said hoarsely, "I need to gather my companions first, then use fire to contact the ancestral home..."
'
In the midst of conversation.
Harry hurriedly put on his robes, his hands rummaging in his pockets as if looking for his wand.
In the end, the magic wand was found on the bedside table.
...What a clumsy idiot.
Behind Harry's back, where he couldn't see, Dobby's eyes suddenly turned incredibly cold.
He grinned smugly and sinisterly.
No matter how hard Harry tried to verify it, he could never find a flaw.
Because the fact that Sirius was captured is undeniable!
It was taken away by his esteemed mistress, Ms. Bella!
The one who disguised himself as "Dobby" to seduce Harry was none other than Kreacher, the Black family's house-elf.
Sirius Black's capture was a trap that Harry had no choice but to fall into.
Harry will definitely go to the Department of Mysteries no matter what.
I will personally present the prophecy ball.
"Once this is all done, my esteemed mistress will surely accept me...! Kreacher will finally be able to serve a noble pure-blood family again!"
Kreacher murmured almost imperceptibly, his eyes sparkling.
It was as if he could already see his own head being chopped off and hung on the prestigious wall of the Blake family's house, a bright future ahead.
It's a great honor for them to keep a pet elf.
"A foolish savior trusted the wrong person and betrayed the wrong person! By the time you discovered the truth, it was too late for regrets... Hehehe..."
,only.
What Kreacher also failed to see was the fleeting glint of brilliant gold from Harry's robe pocket.
Department of Mysteries.
"Boom!"
The elevator crashed down, and as soon as the doors opened, the crammed members of the Qimingdeng Society tumbled out.
What came into view was a completely black corridor.
At the end of the corridor, there is an old-fashioned dark blue door.
"This is the place I dreamed of."
Harry said hoarsely, the white glow illuminating his sweaty face.
The hushed footsteps echoed through the silent corridor.
"Squeak—"
The door was slowly pushed open.
When the scene inside the door appeared before Harry's eyes.
He blurted out, "Sirius!!!"
His godfather was lying on the ground, disheveled and forced to kneel.
His face was covered in blood, and upon seeing Harry, his eyes instantly lit up with frustration. He shouted anxiously, "Run! Harry!! This isn't an enemy you can handle—ugh!"
A spell flashed by.
Sirius's mouth snapped shut!
The upper and lower lips stuck together and eventually melted into the skin, rendering the person speechless!
"Damn it! Stop the curse immediately!"
Harry shouted, raising his wand and casting a spell into the surging darkness behind his godfather.
However, the curse disappeared without causing any ripples.
【Heh, heh, heh...】
A hoarse, inhuman laugh echoed from the darkness.
Amidst the astonished, ever-raising gazes of the crowd.
A pale, smiling face emerged from the darkness.
One is high in the air, close to the ceiling.
"Gurgle!"
Suddenly, Neville let out a muffled thud from the crowd.
He stared intently at that face, his hand gripping his wand tightly.
"Merlin... what kind of monster is that?"
Ron muttered in a daze.
Rustling.
A gigantic body, spiraling like a wheel, appeared behind that smiling face.
It resembled a centipede magnified dozens of times, with a long, dark red exoskeleton and countless wriggling legs.
The enormous body, surrounded by cabinets filled with glass spheres, completely filled the space!
In deathly silence.
Dobby suddenly pounced on him!
Kneeling excitedly before the terrifying centipede monster, she cried out in a hoarse voice with utmost devotion, "As you commanded, I have brought you the savior! My beautiful and powerful mistress!"
"Miss Bella Lestrange!!"
In the darkness, that incongruous smile stretched wide at the corners of its mouth.
As if programmed, he spoke slowly and deliberately:
[Go find the prophecy orb, Harry Potter...]
[Or, watch your godfather die!]
