Chapter 148 [Pure-Blood Family and the Deathly Hallows]

This Auror looks extremely arrogant.

The Malfoy family is not convinced?

How dare you speak to the holy pure-blood family like this?

Malfoy was suddenly furious at the Auror's words.

He took out his wand and wanted to teach the other party a lesson.

"Why take out the wand! Huh? A little wizard still wants to duel with me?" The Auror was startled and hurriedly stopped him.

Malfoy suddenly realized at this time that the adult who was pressing his head was an Auror. No matter his age or strength, he was just a real child in front of him.

"No... No..."

"I don't want to duel with you..."

Malfoy's tone suddenly became smaller, his steps subconsciously retreated, and even his hand shook accidentally, and the wand almost fell out of his hand.

He stood there with a red face, not knowing what to do.

He wanted Rock to look up to him, but he never thought that the Auror would not give face to the pure-bloods at all. The little wizards around were still watching, but he couldn't even say a word in front of this Auror.

And... this was the person who embarrassed himself in front of Rock.

At this time, Malfoy was so ashamed and angry that he felt dizzy and dizzy, as if the Hogwarts Express was shaking.

"Okay."

Rock's voice suddenly interrupted the farce.

He closed his book and looked up at the Auror: "I killed the Dementor, so the two Aurors should not embarrass my classmates."

"I think Principal Dumbledore will know about the course of this incident." Rock probably knew the Auror's thoughts, after all, his Legilimency was not a decoration.

Obviously, what Rock said seemed to be no different from Malfoy's "tell your father", but the two Aurors were obviously relieved.

However, one of the Aurors, the one who had just pressed Malfoy's head, was more relieved than the Auror next to him after hearing Rock's words.

Because he had prepared to be knocked away by Rock's magic.

He dared to tease the only son of the pure-blood Malfoy family, but he didn't dare to tease the user of the Patronus Charm just now, even though the two looked about the same age.

The Auror knew everything about the pure-blood family. More than a decade ago, more than half of the pure-bloods had been killed by Voldemort. Now the pure-blood families only have gold Galleons, but not many people.

Now even many of the people in power in the Ministry of Magic are half-blood wizards.

In addition, the Ministry of Magic has just been attacked recently, and the status of the Auror has been raised. If he dared not say a word when he met a child from a pure-blood family, then he would have nothing to do.

However... a broken ship has three thousand nails. If he can avoid offending people, the Auror doesn't want to offend people.

But there is no way, he really understands Fudge.

This bastard has no bottom line in shirking responsibility for the sake of his career.

So he is not afraid that the Malfoy brat will hate him, as long as he can shout out the name of Minister Fudge, whom he "respects" the most.

And Rock is different from pure-bloods...

Both of them saw Rock's strength just now.

To be frank, even if Rock said at this time: "Why take out the wand! Huh? A little Auror wants to duel with me?"

Their reactions would not be much better than the Malfoy kid, and they would probably stand there with red faces and bewilderment.

The original intention was just to drag Fudge into the water, but if he was taught a lesson by Rock because he looked like he was "bullying", the Auror would have no choice.

Fortunately, Rock is much more mature than his appearance, and seems to know what the Auror is thinking.

"Ahem!" The Auror looked at Rock with a guilty look, but decided to finish his words and act out the drama: "So what if Dumbledore? Minister Fudge has long disliked him!"

"I said, I, Minister Fudge, will do everything! No one can stop the Ministry of Magic from searching!"

The little wizard was immediately furious. They were obviously the victims. It was good enough that they did not report the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic actually dared to trouble them.

"It was the negligence of your Ministry of Magic that led to the Dementor riot!"

"Rock, don't worry! You saved us, and nothing will happen! I will write to my family as soon as I get to school..."

"Is the Minister of Magic so great? My dad often says that Fudge's brain is full of feces."

"Neville fainted. This is what you did. The Longbottom family will definitely not let Fudge go!"

Hearing the excitement of the little wizards, one of the Aurors hurriedly glared at the Auror fiercely, as if blaming the other party for his bad idea.

However, judging by the reactions of these students, the goal was indeed achieved.

The voices in the carriage suddenly became noisy, and a large number of students accused the Aurors, who seemed to stutter: "You! Just wait!"

"Minister Fudge will arrest all of you for obstructing the Ministry of Magic's law enforcement, and none of you will be able to escape."

After saying that, he hurriedly used Apparition to leave.

He looked frightened by the momentum of the united Hogwarts students, which was a bit like the villain in children's literature.

But it was because this carriage was full of young wizards in the lower grades, and the older wizards, like Cedric, who had brains, were basically on the periphery.

The audience cooperated too much, which made them feel good about blackening Fudge.

However, this trick is really useful for the little wizards. The little wizards who have just experienced the ordeal of Dementors have finally regained some vitality.

They cheered around Rock, thinking that this was a victory for students against power.

Even Malfoy, who felt dizzy just now, was praised for being the first to stand up, but Malfoy felt that he was actually very embarrassed just now, so he didn't like these praises.

He just sat aside with a red face, and didn't dare to look at others after failing to pretend.

"They won't really take us to Azkaban, right?" Ron on the side shrank his neck and asked in a low voice.

He had just seen what Dementors looked like. If he was really imprisoned in Azkaban, it would be too scary.

Miss Otter was more worried: "No, maybe it's worse than that. We may be expelled from school for disobeying the Ministry of Magic."

Ron frowned in confusion. Why would being expelled from school be worse?

...

The train continued to move forward.

As a new professor, Lupin began to show his face in front of the students. Along the way, he controlled his patronus to help calm the hearts of the lower grade students.

Because he was a werewolf, Lupin did not often use his patronus charm. He was always worried that his wolf patronus might expose his identity.

But unexpectedly, on the Hogwarts train, he was unanimously sought after by the little wizards because of his wolf patronus, because they also wanted a patronus like Rock.

What is this?

The little wizard Hermione who followed Rock actually nodded and said seriously: The patronus is the same as Rock, you don't need to feel inferior.

Lupin was stunned for a moment, and he seemed to know why Harry said he was not afraid of wolves.

For a while, Lupin felt that life was a little subtle.

And Rock, along the way, looked at the little wizards in the carriage, not knowing what to say.

He glanced at Ron in the carriage, who was explaining to the twins enthusiastically about the Auror coming to the carriage just now.

On one side, senior students such as Cedric were also listening to the junior students' explanation of what had just happened.

Rock witnessed step by step how Fudge went from being the Minister of Magic to being rumored to want to overthrow the existing pure-blood family system...

Rumors are really deceptive. Even students like Cedric began to half-believe and half-doubt. This is something Rock has learned.

Sometimes it may be easier to deceive a person from his information channels. To deceive the emperor, you may only need to deceive the eunuchs around him.

For example, now, the junior wizards pass it on to the seniors, then to the professors, and then to Dumbledore and the parents. Even with Dumbledore's shrewdness, he still needs to personally identify whether the rumor is true or not.

And if you want to distinguish the truth of the information you take in, you have to pay a cost. Voldemort paid a lot of cost back then.

He lost his life directly.

Rock looked thoughtfully at Ron's pocket, where a little mouse was hidden.

Unfortunately, Lupin was on the train the whole time, and the mouse didn't dare to show his head.

I don't know if the little mouse can hear what the little wizards said.

...

In the night, the train arrived at the station with a hum.

It was really a hustle and bustle when getting off the train: owls were hooting, cats were meowing, and Neville's pet toad was humming under his hat. Even the small platform was frozen, and the cold rain was pouring down beside them.

The senior little wizards had to take the Thestrals to Hogwarts, while the first-year little wizards had to take a boat to retrace the path of the four founders.

"I still can't see the Thestrals..." Hermione in the carriage was a little regretful.

"That's a good thing, Hermione. You have to see death before you can see the Thestrals."

Hermione glanced at Rock, but didn't ask why Rock could see the Thestrals.

She remembered that when she first entered school, she sat in the same carriage with Rock, Harry, and Neville.

At that time, she asked a question out of curiosity, and the three people in the same carriage had a more miserable life story than each other, which made Hermione feel guilty for a long time, and at least gave her the first lesson in life.

If you want to see the Thestrals, you have to see death. It is obvious that this is not a good thing, and it may be another sad past, so Hermione wisely chose to keep her mouth shut this time, and just leaned towards Rock with a little maternal love.

This is not the first time Rock has ridden in a Thestral carriage. He rode it once in the second grade last year, and it is not new to him.

However, although it is not new enough, Rock is still curious about the creature of the Thestrals.

The condition that "you can only see the Thestrals if you have witnessed death with your own eyes" is full of fantasy.

In the magical world, death has always been a relatively unique word. This originated from the Deathly Hallows and the legend of the three brothers, and this legend was recorded in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard".

The story of the three brothers revolves around the three holy artifacts, and it is said that these three holy artifacts were created by the god of death.

However, Dumbledore believed that the creators of the three Hallows might not be Death, but the Peverell brothers, who were both very powerful and dangerous wizards, and the legend was just a story inspired by some of their real experiences.

The three Deathly Hallows are the Resurrection Stone, the Invisibility Cloak, and the Elder Wand.

The Elder Wand is in Dumbledore's hands.

The Resurrection Stone is on the Gaunt family ring, and strictly speaking, it belongs to Voldemort.

The invisibility cloak is in Harry Potter's hands. Rock often borrows it from Harry and plays with it when he has nothing to do.

But it is because of this unique invisibility cloak that Rock becomes curious about the Thestrals.

The general invisibility cloak is made of the hair of invisible beasts. This kind of invisibility cloak is not effective forever and will lose its magical effect over time.

But the invisibility cloak of the Deathly Hallows is very special and will always be as good as new. Rock has studied the material of the invisibility cloak. He does not think that the Deathly Hallows has anything to do with the hair of invisible beasts.

But if it is said that the skin of the Thestrals is used, Rock does not think it is likely. He just thinks that the Thestrals and the story of the three dead brothers fit well.

In the story of the three deadly Hallows, the youngest brother, who holds the invisibility cloak, calmly chooses to witness death in the end.

Invisibility and witnessing death always give Rock a sense of déjà vu that the story comes from the Thestrals.

As Rock thought about it, the carriage drove along. After passing through the muddy road and a section of uphill road, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of Hogwarts Castle.

Above the Hogwarts Castle, there were still terrifying cloaks flying constantly. They were the Dementors familiar to the students.

"Oh my God, I have a bad feeling..." Ron stared at the Dementors above his head, his face pale with fear. Would they have to spend a semester with Dementors?

The other little wizards didn't look very good either. Everyone walked into the hall with trepidation.

...

The dinner in the hall started and ended very quickly. After the Sorting Hat sorted the freshmen into houses, the biggest attraction of the dinner disappeared.

However, the result of this sorting was somewhat beyond the professors' expectations. Many students were dissatisfied with the sorting hat's sorting.

They all said they wanted to go to Ravenclaw.

In the past, this situation would only occur in Gryffindor College, because the headmaster Dumbledore was from Gryffindor, and Dumbledore had his own appeal.

Everyone hopes to be like Dumbledore.

But why do you want to go to Ravenclaw?

The professors looked at each other. They didn't have time to learn all the details of the train. They only knew that something big happened on the train.

Dumbledore looked at Rock, his eyes gleaming.

He stood up and made a welcome speech to the students at the sorting ceremony: "Welcome!"

"Welcome to Hogwarts in the new school year!"

"I have a few words to say to all of you, one of which is very serious. I think it's better to make it clear before you are confused by this delicious meal..."

"You must all know that our school is currently hosting a number of Dementors from Azkaban. They are here to perform official duties for the Ministry of Magic."

"During their stay here, I must make it clear that no tricks, tricks or disguises can deceive Dementors-"

Dumbledore looked at Harry and added: "Not even the invisibility cloak."
