Chapter 379 Confidentiality Law

"Oh my god, Harry! Are you still training in this weather?"

Hermione said in surprise.

It was raining heavily all day today. Students going to class had to run quickly with their heads in their hands when passing by the corridor. Unexpectedly, the Gryffindor team hadn't stopped training yet.

"The match against Slytherin is approaching and Wood doesn't want to miss any training - thanks, Ryan." Harry said tiredly.

Ryan used magic to help make all the water and mud on him disappear.

Michael cleaned up the muddy footprints on the ground and asked, "You didn't run into Filch when you came back?"

"When I met him...he didn't make things difficult for me."

Harry dug out a bunch of snacks from the pantry, stuffed his mouth with chocolate, and said vaguely.

He saw everyone gathered in a circle and asked, "What are you doing?"

"How about Vader casting an invisible stretching spell on our schoolbags? Isn't that cool?" Michael said excitedly.

"...It's really amazing." Harry sighed sincerely: "I know that spell is difficult."

Whenever he felt that he was extremely tired, he would look at Vader and Hermione and wonder if he was not working hard enough.

But when compared with his roommates Ron, Seamus, Dean and others, Harry felt that he was working too hard.

Vader cast a traceless stretching spell on everyone's schoolbags. Seeing that they were happily loading their things, he turned around and asked Harry, "Do you need it too?"

Harry shook his head and said, "Sirius took care of it for me."

He hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "Vade, do you remember what Remus and the others said before? It was... that vampires might be controlled by Muggles..."

Wade nodded and said, "Of course, it's only been two days, I will certainly remember it."

"Then do you know why Remus and the others seem... unwilling to investigate?" Harry asked, "I don't know exactly, but they just give me this feeling."

"It's simple, because whether it's tracing, interrogating or retaliating against Muggles, it violates the Statute of Secrecy," Wade said.

"Is it because of this?" Harry was startled: "But... Hagrid once transformed my cousin Dudley into a pig tail..."

"So he has actually broken the law."

Vader said: "But for some reasons - for example, because of your relationship, the place where you live is under the strict supervision of the Ministry of Magic, and your aunt and uncle are all insiders in the magic world, so it does not count as a cause of death." A leak in the magical world, so he was not punished.”

"But if it is those powerful people in the Muggle world, any action against them must be careful, otherwise it may become a big trouble for the entire wizarding world - the Ministry of Magic in various countries is very wary of this."

"Even if the Muggles are the unreasonable party? Even if they have done something to our people?" Harry asked in disbelief.

Vader was silent for a moment and then said: "The Statute of Secrecy is the most stringent law in any country. Even Dumbledore cannot violate it at will."

"——Dumbledore? This has happened to him too?" Harry asked.

"When Professor Dumbledore was young, his sister was injured by several Muggle boys; his father attacked the three boys in order to avenge his daughter, and was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban, where he finally died. "Wade said.

Harry was completely stunned.

In his impression, the principal seemed to have always been so wise, powerful, and old, as if he had been born like this.

Harry had never thought that Dumbledore had been weak and powerless, and he could not imagine that such a tragedy had happened to his family.

"So do you understand?"

Wade patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Sirius and Lupine will not let go of those who do it secretly, but this kind of thing can only be investigated secretly. It cannot be made public or publicized, nor can it seek help from the Ministry of Magic."

"If other people know that they are investigating some Muggles, the ignorant people will only laugh at them, while those with a little ability and knowledge will hinder them and not allow them to investigate or take revenge."

"You yourself too, just keep it in your mind and don't tell this matter even to Hermione and Ron."

Harry nodded silently.

…

There is a Defense Against the Dark Arts class the next day.

Vader used the time turner and arrived at the second floor of the castle earlier than the other students. He saw Professor Abigail wandering outside the classroom from a distance.

The professor frowned slightly and turned the wand in his hand casually, like turning a fan. From time to time, a wisp of sparks would shoot out from the tip of the wand.

Wade looked at it for a while before walking forward.

"Oh, Wade." Professor Abigail raised her eyebrows when she saw him, as if she wanted to smile, but restrained herself.

"Professor." Wade took out a bag, handed it over and said, "I have completed what you told me last time."

"Done?"

A look of astonishment appeared on Professor Abigail's face. She paused for a moment before revealing a surprised smile.

"——So fast?"

——What, is it too fast?

Wade looked at her strangely.

"Oh, show me."

Professor Abigail took the bag and looked carefully at the snakeskin bag, which was only a little bigger than a fist, before unzipping the tie on it.

The bag contained a bunch of magical puppets. At a rough glance, there seemed to be twenty or thirty of them, all of which were only as big as a knuckle.

"Uh..."

Professor Abigail glanced at Wade, wondering if he had not heard her request clearly, but she felt that Wade would not make such a basic mistake.

So she reached out and took out a Kaba.

This is a water monkey, or what Japan calls a kappa. It is green all over, covered with scales, with webbed fingers, a turtle shell on its back, and a shallow, water-filled dish on its head.

The Kaba was taken out of the bag and its body immediately grew larger. Professor Abigail threw it to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the Kaba was more than one meter tall, with its triangular eyes looking at the two people opposite insidiously.

On his chest, there was also a line of "Kaba 03" symbols.

Professor Abigail subconsciously held the wand and was full of vigilance. When she realized that it was just a puppet, she slowly relaxed.

"It's so realistic... It's unbelievable that this is a man-made product." Professor Abigail asked: "Can it move?"

"Of course." Wade said: "It's waiting for your order!"

-It looks like this.

Professor Abigail suppressed her excitement and ordered: "Kaba 03, show me what you can do - attack the students who will enter this corridor later."

Wade: "..."

This professor's style is the same as always!
