Chapter 716: Luohate Arrested

~6 min read 1,118 words

"It seems, one of us has taken a big tumble?"

Dumbledore walked in from the door with a smile; the bright light in the corridor was blocked by him, and the Room of Requirement returned to the dimness only illuminated by torches.

"Isn't that so! I shouldn't have come here, the famous Harry, the Green who is being sought by the entire Wizarding World and hiding in Hogwarts, I thought this would be a great opportunity to improve my reputation..."

Luohate, who had drunk the Veritaserum, chattered on.

He grabbed his mouth in horror, but that thing muttered and made sounds too.

"Oh, Gilderoy, your lying mouth can't tell lies now?"

Dumbledore said, his long, silver-white beard trembling slightly.

"I wanted to lie. Fanatical admirers with ill intentions, made terrible moves; or young wizards who learned several Dark Arts... this is not allowed in Hogwarts... I have so many reasons, but now I can't... mm-mm..."

Luohate's appearance was as if he wanted to tear his own mouth off.

"You have revealed your true colors, Gilderoy. If you have any cunning words, go tell the Ministry of Magic, or perhaps the Dementors?"

Dumbledore seemed to be disposing of an insignificant thing; he waved his fingers, and Luohate was tied up tightly.

He raised his head, and Hagrid appeared in his gaze.

Hagrid first winked at Sean, then carried Luohate away.

"Professor Dumbledore, I will take him to the Aurors outside Hogwarts Castle now."

Hagrid said in a muffled voice.

He then grabbed Luohate and turned to leave, looking as if he were carrying a chick.

"The Ministry of Magic has made a new judgment for Hagrid, not an easy thing."

Dumbledore said to them with a smile; he looked to be in a very good mood.

"Hagrid's judgment has been overturned?!"

Hermione exclaimed.

Overturning an old case, no matter how you look at it, was a thankless task.

Hermione knew that whether in the non-magical world or the Wizarding World, this was a fantasy.

"Yes, Miss Granger, soon you will also receive good news.

But for now, please allow me to keep you in suspense."

Dumbledore said.

"Again... adults always think that not letting us know anything is for our own good."

Hermione said quietly to Sean.

"Hmm."

Jia Siting seemed to have been thinking about something, and now after hearing Hermione's words, he immediately expressed agreement.

But Sean was unexpectedly silent.

"Alright,"

Dumbledore noticed their little actions, but acted as if he knew nothing; he strode to the door and opened it,

"Now, you can go to bed and rest, perhaps, you should also drink another large cup of steaming hot chocolate milk, I have always felt that is very good for improving my mood."

He said, while looking down and winking at them kindly.

"As for me, I am writing a letter to Azkaban here—we should let our Professor Luohate go where he belongs.

I also have to draft a recruitment advertisement to post in the "Daily Prophet","

He said thoughtfully,

"We need a new teacher to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts again. Good heavens, the teachers for this subject are consumed so quickly, aren't they?"

Several young wizards nodded like pounding garlic.

This was what they most wanted to see.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, may I ask you what a Dementor is?"

Jia Siting was still thinking about what Dumbledore had inadvertently revealed.

"Dementors,"

Dumbledore paused,

"Perhaps the most evil and terrifying things in the magical world."

He then turned and left.

Hermione hadn't yet reacted to the question Jia Siting asked, but was stunned by Dumbledore's words.

She pursed her lips tightly and moved a little toward Sean.

"Sean, do you know what a Dementor is?"

Jia Siting clearly hadn't expected to get this answer; he was somewhat stunned.

"Guards of Azkaban, a type of Dark magic creature that lives by feeding on wizards' happiness.

Dementors are perhaps the only known creatures that can make wizards unable to use magic.

It cannot be killed physically, only temporarily driven away..."

Sean expounded simply and profoundly.

"Cannot be killed..."

Even though the Room of Requirement was completely enclosed, Hermione always felt she was being buffeted by cold wind.

"How should we drive it away?"

Jia Siting asked cautiously.

"The Patronus Charm is the preferred method of response. Sometimes, eating chocolate is also a first-aid method people use after being attacked by Dementors."

Sean said.

"Chocolate?!"

Jia Siting subconsciously believed Sean, but still felt surprised.

"Eating some chocolate, or drinking a large cup of steaming hot chocolate milk, is very good for improving a wizard's mood."

Sean explained.

"You are really..."

Hermione seemed to have remembered something; she said to Jia Siting,

"That sentence just now, Headmaster Dumbledore just said it... did you notice? Sean has always been very like one person... and that is Headmaster Dumbledore. Now even more so."

Jia Siting nodded in bewilderment, and they soon walked out of the Room of Requirement together.

From far away, one could see firelight in the Forbidden Forest, which then disappeared.

It was as if a dragon were making trouble inside, and was finally taken away by a keeper.

Sean looked out at that place from afar, then disappeared in place.

Hermione and Jia Siting didn't even have time to say goodbye to him.

"More and more like him..."

Hermione frowned and examined the corridor,

"Coming and going without a trace..."

When Sean arrived at the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid and the house-elf Dobby were staring at each other.

"This is my hut, sir."

Hagrid said in a rough voice; he looked like he had just finished escorting Luohate.

It was not hard to imagine that after Luohate was caught, tomorrow's news would definitely be flying everywhere.

And Hermione and Jia Siting had already rushed to contact Luna and Rita—they had asked Sean for contact information before the plan started.

The students of Hogwarts, the wizards of the entire Wizarding World, would all know that Luohate was a fraud.

But Sean didn't care about these.

Wei Er didn't care either.

"Before the arrival of the respected Lord Green, no one is allowed to enter."

Wei Er held a bow and arrow, looking like he would shoot if they didn't agree.

And the house-elves' archery was quite superb. William, the house-elf Wei Er admired most, had once shot dead the descendant of Slytherin and saved Lady Isobel.

"But I am the master here!"

Hagrid was anxious.

"I am the butler here!"

Wei Er wouldn't give an inch.

"Sean didn't tell you..."

Hagrid softened a bit; he was very curious about the magical creature in front of him, but now he wanted to return to the hut more. ===== CHAPTER 717 =====
