Chapter 213 The Magician Teaches You How to Be the Dark Lord

"We have confirmed that ten felons escaped from Azkaban late yesterday."

Hermione was sitting at the long table in the bustling Hogwarts Great Hall, reciting the "Daily Prophet" she had just received.

"We strongly suspect that the mastermind of this prison break is a man who has escaped from Azkaban, a notorious murderer -"

"Sirius Black!"

After reading this, Hermione looked at Harry sitting next to him, and as expected, there was an angry look on his face.

"Shit! Everyone knows that Voldemort did it! Professor Tang has already predicted this!"

"I really didn't expect that the Ministry of Magic actually allowed him to succeed even after knowing the prophecy in advance!"

"Obviously, not everyone believes Professor Tang's prediction." Ron said: "It's not like you didn't see what happened at dinner yesterday, those roaring letters, and the look on Professor McGonagall's face. I can be sure that she received There are enough reports about Professor Tang to fill her desk."

"But the fact is that Professor Tang's prediction has been confirmed!" Harry shouted: "Now people should always believe that Voldemort has returned, right?"

"This was mentioned in the newspaper." Hermione shook the newspaper and continued reading: "Our reporter asked Minister Fudge and mentioned that earlier yesterday afternoon, the new Divination professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Sen Tang believes that the so-called mysterious man has been resurrected and will attack Azkaban in the near future."

"Why is it that despite the prophecy, the Ministry of Magic is still not sufficiently prepared?"

"Good question!" Harry waved his fist, "At least there are sane people in the Daily Prophet! Which reporter is this?"

Hermione turned the page forward and when she saw the author of this report, she looked like she had eaten a fly and said, "Rita Skeeter."

"." Harry immediately closed his mouth.

Hermione continued reading:

"Minister Fudge responded that Professor Tang is an excellent diviner. In fact, I personally approved and recommended him as the divination professor at Hogwarts. I believe Professor Tang's prediction, but this prediction is not what everyone thinks." The circulating version.”

"Minister Fudge said that Ms. Umbridge, the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, the senior investigator of Hogwarts, and the current professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, has personally confirmed with Professor Tang that the other party has never said that the mysterious person has been resurrected. Such remarks only predict that a certain prison will undergo changes in the near future."

"Based on the belief in Professor Tang's prophecy, the Ministry of Magic immediately dispatched Aurors to Azkaban, but time was too tight. By the time the Aurors arrived at the scene, the prison break had already occurred. We regret that we did not catch it. Chances are, the Ministry of Magic will work hard to hunt down these fugitives, including of course the mastermind of the escape, Sirius Black."

"This is a lie!" Harry stood up excitedly: "We have all heard it, Professor Tang said it himself, Voldemort has been resurrected! And will attack Azkaban!"

Hermione sneered and continued: "Our reporter said that this mistake by the Ministry of Magic is regrettable, but it is understandable that out of a responsible attitude towards the public, the Ministry of Magic needs to spend time to confirm the truth of the rumors. False. And there were only a few hours between the prophecy and the jailbreak."

"As for those rumors, after investigation by this reporter, we have reason to believe that the source comes from the boy-who-lived Harry Potter. He has always liked to sensationalize and regard himself as a savior. As far as the reporter knows, Mr. Potter His academic performance is not ideal, and he has long lost his former aura. Perhaps it is this gap that makes him do this kind of thing, to gain a sense of superiority and existence by spreading some childish rumors."

Hermione paused, seeing that Harry's face was already red with anger, and read out the last paragraph: "Of course, such a shameful and unrealistic rumor can be spread widely in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and even let people Many students believed it to be true, and our reporter believed that this might not be something that just a fifth-grade student could do, and that someone was behind it to add fuel to the fire."

"Senior Investigator Ms. Umbridge said that she is trying her best to discipline and teach the young wizards so that they can have sound and independent thinking abilities and will not be taken advantage of by some students headed by Harry Potter. Of course, , during this process, she felt huge resistance, and many of her actions and plans could not be executed smoothly at Hogwarts. This reporter has reason to speculate that someone is preventing Ms. Umbridge from doing the right thing."

"And who will be the person with this right in Hogwarts Castle?"

Harry was so angry that he was shaking all over. He snatched the "Daily Prophet" from Hermione's hand, looked at the dynamic picture of Sirius on it, and the Azkaban whose corner was broken by the curse, and shouted with extreme anger. Said: "Can this reporter tell the truth? How could she write about me like this!"

"This is not the first time." Hermione said: "Moreover, she also tried to lead readers to think that your actions were instigated by Professor Dumbledore. Although she did not mention Professor Dumbledore in the report. name."

"I'm going to find Professor Tang!" Harry shouted: "Professor Tang can prove that everything she said is false!"

"Calm down, Harry." Hermione pulled him and said, "What's the use even if Professor Tang proves it? The Daily Prophet is controlled by the Ministry of Magic and will never publish the truth."

"Even if the students at Hogwarts know that what is in the newspaper is a lie, we have no channel to speak out. Moreover, I am afraid that except for the fifth-year students, other grades have begun to be a little doubtful."

Harry noticed the various looks he received from other students in the auditorium and gritted his teeth.

"This reporter, or the Ministry of Magic, will get us all killed!"

"We are still students, and many things are beyond our control." Hermione said soberly: "The most we can do is to stop Malfoy's attempts. Speaking of which, I didn't see Malfoy today. "

"Who knows what this bad guy is planning. Anyway, Professor Tang can no longer stand on Voldemort's side. He has exposed Voldemort's secrets. Damn it, I have to remind Professor Tang that Voldemort may cause trouble for him. ” Harry jumped to his feet.

"Are you going to alert a fortune teller?" Ron interrupted: "Harry, let's take care of ourselves first. Isn't there any good news every day?"

He picked up the newspaper casually, scanned the other pages, and read: "A violent incident occurred in Knockturn Alley, and two wanted dark wizards died in public."

"Huh? Isn't the person in this photo Professor Snape?"

Ron's words attracted the attention of the two people. They came over and saw a thin and tall man standing in the dynamic photo. He was holding a cane and standing in the middle of an alley. He could see There were raging flames burning everywhere in the alley. Two corpses were lying in the flames, and opposite the man was a black-robed wizard.

Even though it was just a back view, Harry could still tell the other person's identity at a glance.

"Ha, it's indeed Snape, you can tell by his hair." Harry mocked: "I really hope someone can give him a bottle of shampoo."

He quickly glanced at the report and let out a light sigh.

"Magician? I remember that Snape mentioned this name yesterday in Professor Dumbledore's office. Is this the person he was talking about?"

"What did Professor Dumbledore say?" Hermione took the newspaper. She was always interested in these news, so she picked a passage and read it out loud: "Obviously this is a wizard who has entered the country illegally. We have not found it yet. The origin of this man, he killed two wizards, and although he was a wanted dark wizard, he still violated the law."

"The Department of Magical Law Enforcement has set up a team to search for this person in England. The director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement said that the British wizarding community will never tolerate the occurrence of such public murders. There is only one ending for this person - to be killed. Imprisoned in Azkaban."

"According to the reporter's interview with the people present, the person claimed to be a 'magician' and came to the UK with the purpose of saving the wizarding world. From these words, we can see that this person is mentally abnormal and extremely uncontrollable. The reporter tried to I interviewed the person who had close contact and had conversations with this person, Mr. Severus Snape, the Potions Professor of Hogwarts School, but was refused by the other party.”

Hermione frowned, looked at the photo again, and said, "This person doesn't look like a madman."

"Normal people wouldn't say anything about saving the wizarding world." Ron complained: "Unless he also cuts a lightning scar on his forehead."

This joke, which was not funny at all, succeeded in getting Harry's glare. Ron suddenly laughed and said: "I mean, the wizarding world has been chaotic enough since last year. For example, near Harry's home Encountering dementors, like in Azkaban. Now there's another madman, and damn, I don't know if we can graduate successfully."

"You don't have to worry about this, Ron." Hermione said, "Even without these things, you may not be able to graduate with your current grades."

She ignored the two of them and continued reading: "Late yesterday, a fire broke out in a house outside London, which frightened several Muggles. The Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters confirmed that there were traces of wizards in it and was cleaning it up. Muggle memories and when investigating the scene, the staff discovered a body."

"The body was severely burned. We are temporarily unable to confirm the identity of the body, but we found the Malfoy family crest on the body."

Hermione looked up sharply and saw Ron and Harry looking equally horrified.

"Malfoy is dead?"

"No, it's impossible. It should be someone from the Malfoy family."

Hermione quickly continued reading: "On the wall at the crime scene, we saw a message that was most likely left by the murderer."

"For a more brilliant civilization."

"The Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters suspects that this is related to the 'Magician' and the case has been transferred to the Department of Legal Enforcement."

"If anyone can provide any information and whereabouts about this criminal, you can write to the Department of Law Enforcement. The reward ranges from one hundred gold galleons to five hundred gold galleons."

The three of them fell into silence for a long time.

"Tsk, tsk."

Tang Sen sat in the room of the Leaky Cauldron, stuffing the meat on the plate into his mouth while reading the newspaper in his hand.

"Voldemort is not kind in what he does. He is not willing to accept a corpse for his own men."

The plates were quickly cleared. Tang Sen took out a small bottle of lavender potion, poured a drop into his mouth, waited quietly for a moment, then stood up and shook the bell placed in front of the door.

There was a slight airburst sound, and a house elf appeared in front of the door, holding a large plate of new stew in his hands.

"This is the seventh plate of breakfast, Mr. Tang." The elf said respectfully.

"How many are left?" Tang Sen looked at the clock on the wall: "Bring it over together. I don't have much time to eat, and I have to rush to Hogwarts."

If during the previous meal time, Tang Sen was worried that he couldn't eat so much, now Tang Sen was even more worried that he was eating too slowly.

After getting the digestive potion from Snape yesterday afternoon, he immediately tested it. He was indeed a potion master. The effect of the potion was indeed good. Tang Sen finished it that afternoon and usually took it for ten days. amount.

The effect was immediate. Tang Sen felt that his physical fitness had increased by about one-tenth, and the floating spell he released changed from a small flame to a larger flame. The weak gains described by the shepherd's characteristics now seem to be really only weak.

Tang Sen can predict that after he eats the fire dragon, he should be able to obtain one-twentieth to one-fifteenth of the fire dragon's physique and extraordinary characteristics——

This is powerful enough for normal humans.

Of course, Tang Sen also tried changing the recipes. Among the "ingredients" sent by the Department of Fantastic Beasts, there were not only fire dragons, but also some other large magical animals. However, so far, he did not feel that the characteristics of fire dragons were more obvious. Reaction.

Of course, while improving his strength, Tang Sen also did not forget to transform into a "magician" and do what the Dark Lord should do.

He knew very clearly that when he told the prophecy about Voldemort, he had already appeared in the other person's sight.

This is inevitable. As long as you want to confirm your identity as a fortune teller who can see the future, and want your reputation to spread throughout the UK and even the wizarding world around the world, you must be high-profile. Voldemort or Sooner or later, you will know your existence.

Even with the addition of Smaug, Tang Sen was not sure of defeating the Dark Lord who had studied black magic to the extreme. Although in the original work, the opponent's strength and fighting scenes did not appear to be terrible, and he was defeated several times. Being resolved by Harry Potter, Tang Sen was not naive enough to think that the other party was really that ordinary.

Instead of waiting for the other party to come to trouble you when they are ready, it is better to take the initiative in your own hands. At least Voldemort has not fully recovered his strength now, and it is even less possible to break into Hogwart where Dumbledore is in charge. Castle.

And in this gap, Tang Sen had countless means to prevent Voldemort from paying attention to a diviner who was impossible to catch.

"I hope last night's little visit didn't make Voldemort too angry."

"After all, the fun has just begun."

"Let the magician teach you how to be a qualified Dark Lord, Mr. Nose Tom."

My health is not good yet, so I can barely code one chapter. Sorry.
