Chapter 71 Let’s have some fun with Professor Dumbledore
"Fluorescent flash~"
As Ivan recited the spell, the dazzling light penetrated the darkness and shone on the devil's net. These plants that were afraid of light and heat immediately retracted the outstretched vines.
The bottom was about four meters high. After Ivan made a simple judgment, he asked Harry, Ron, and Hermione to help him use the floating spell to send Lu Wei down.
Harry also hung the music box on the chain around Lu Wei's neck to prevent him from waking up midway.
Lu Wei was so big that even if the four of them used the levitating spell at the same time, they almost couldn't hold on. Lu Wei almost came to his senses halfway through.
Fortunately, the music didn't stop, and after a final struggle, everyone successfully sent Lu Wei down. The devil's net that had been dispersed before was also re-closed during this time.
"But what about this trap door? And the fact that it's empty will definitely arouse Minister Fudge's suspicion." Hermione worried.
"Do you have anything useless with you? I'll decorate this place with a transformation spell." Ivan sighed helplessly. He felt that he was almost becoming a professional cleaner, and Dumbledore didn't pay any more. Give him gold galleons.
After hearing this, the three of them rummaged through the pockets of the wizard's robes, and actually found a lot of small items.
Ron dug out a pack of cocoa beans from his pocket, Harry followed with some gold Galleons and Silver Sickles, and Hermione found a few small wooden combs and round mirrors and other small items.
The total amount is quite large, especially Ron's cocoa beans, there can be hundreds of them in one package.
It was immediately obvious that the level of the Transformation Spell was too low, so Ivan directly refused their help and released it himself and completed the arrangement.
"Well, it's not bad." After finishing it, Ivan looked around and nodded with satisfaction.
"Isn't this a little bad?" Harry looked at the thing hanging from the ceiling and suddenly felt scared.
"Never mind it, I think Professor Dumbledore will have a way to explain it!" Ivan said with deep resentment. He was not the kind of person who didn't fight back after being tricked.
He originally wanted to give Dumbledore more fun.
Ivan was a little disappointed, because they didn't have anything big on them, and it was probably impossible for him to make big news.
Just as Ivan was casting the spell, Professor McGonagall's loud voice was heard coming from a distance.
"The corridor on the fourth floor is nothing special. Adding a door is just for convenience to separate the space."
Now how to do?
Harry didn't dare to speak, but hinted with his eyes.
Ivan also didn't expect people from the Ministry of Magic to arrive so quickly. He thought Dumbledore would take Fudge around the school to buy them time.
Fortunately, Professor McGonagall knew how to remind them aloud.
"We can jump down. There is a devil's net below. We just need not to resist." Hermione lowered her voice, pointed to the trap door, and jumped down first.
She had already seen that the vines of the Devil's Net had re-closed. With this as a buffer, she didn't have to worry about being thrown to death.
Harry and Ron also gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, and jumped down. They could only pray that Lu Wei was still sleeping down there.
Ivan had no time to stop him, the three of them had already jumped.
"Actually, I know how to use the Disillusionment Curse," Ivan complained silently, used the Transformation Curse on the trap door, and then entered the trap door before the Transformation Curse was completed.
Just as the trap door slowly closed and merged with the floor, the wooden door was pushed open, and Umbridge's disgusting voice sounded in the corridor.
"I don't think so. Maybe there is some secret hidden in it."
Umbridge walked in with a smile on her face. As soon as she turned her head, the empty corridor seemed to have been triggered by some mechanism, and the ghost faces hooked by thin ropes on the ceiling fell down one after another. They were hanging and swaying in the air, smiling or happily staring at her with empty eyes. One of them was hanging right in front of Umbridge's eyes.
"Ah!!!" Umbridge sat down on the ground and let out a high-pitched cry.
McGonagall outside the door suddenly became nervous. Dumbledore also thought that it was Umbridge who discovered Lu Wei, and suddenly felt that he had made a mistake in leaving the transfer of Lu Wei to a few children.
It is indeed impossible for a few little wizards to transfer a three-headed dog in such a short period of time.
But after entering, Dumbledore discovered that things were a little different from what he imagined. Rows of ghost faces with different expressions were hung from the ceiling in the corridor. Dumbledore was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
Mag was also startled for a moment, and gave him a questioning look.
Dumbledore shook his head subtly, indicating that he didn't know anything about it. It seemed that Ivan would give him a different surprise every time.
"Albus, what is going on?" Fudge looked at the corridor that looked like a haunted house, with a wonderful expression on his face, and looked at Dumbledore with extremely strange eyes.
He had to wonder if Dumbledore was doing some dangerous black magic behind his back. Even Fudge regretted coming to the fourth floor. Wouldn't he be silenced?
But taking a closer look at these ghost faces, Fudge found that these did not seem to be black magic items, just ordinary masks.
Dumbledore pondered for a while. He had no preparation for these arrangements of Ivan, but it was obvious that this little trick was not enough to faze him.
In just a few seconds, Dumbledore changed into the look of someone suffering from Alzheimer's disease who often forgets things, and clapped his hands.
"Ah, I remembered. I asked Severus to buy these for Halloween. If I hadn't come here to take a look, I would have forgotten them here."
Dumbledore said as he picked up a mask and put it on. It was a vampire mask with red paint sprayed on the corners of the mouth, which looked a bit like blood.
"Looks good, doesn't it?" said Dumbledore.
Severus?
The corner of Professor McGonagall's mouth twitched. The reason Dumbledore gave was so casual. She didn't believe that Snape would do such a thing.
Fudge doubtfully picked up a mask and looked at it. It was an exquisitely crafted evil ghost mask that seemed to be made of mahogany, with nothing visible on the surface.
Umbridge also got up from the ground at this time. Making a fool of herself in public made her lose her mind. She drew out her wand angrily and chanted a spell at the ghost faces around her.
"Emergency appearance~"
A ripple of magic power extended in all directions along the top of the wand, and the ghost face hanging in the air kept shaking and making a slight sound.
