What does Link want him to do?

Snape had already figured this out.

But can he really do that?

Abandon Lily's only child and let him be swallowed by darkness, while he is happy?

Snape didn't have an answer to this question.

Just at this moment, he recalled the previous dream again in his mind.

In the dream, the person who kept saying 'I love you' to him had such a gentle voice and such a warm embrace.

So much so that Snape's consciousness was briefly in a trance just by recalling it.

"Call—"

Snape took a deep breath.

He slowly straightened up, bowed to Link and Dumbledore, and quietly left the headmaster's office.

…

France.

Principal Beauxbatons' office.

Compared to Hogwarts, Beauxbatons' headmaster's office is more luxurious.

It is located at the top of the tallest tower in the whole school.

And like the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom, all the windows here are also equipped with magic curtains, which can be isolated from outside prying eyes, and the scenery outside the windows can also be arbitrarily arranged.

At this moment, the window is cloudy.

Norton, on the other hand, was flipping through the documents in front of him with a sad face.

Since Maxim's death in battle, he has become the new headmaster of Beauxbatons.

This is the result of the support of No. 1 Sombra, and it is also the result of the vote of all Beauxbatons teachers and students.

After all, apart from his accident, there is really no one in Beauxbatons who is more suitable for this position.

This should have been something to celebrate.

However, the newly appointed Principal Norton was not happy at all.

"Ugh-"

He sighed deeply, put down the document in his hand, got up and walked to the window.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, he could overlook the entire Beauxbatons.

Compared to when Link and Dumbledore first left, Beauxbatons at this time has been reborn from the ruins.

Sombra No. 1 fully fulfilled his previous promise to restore the Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to its original state before the official opening of the school.

But unfortunately.

Some things cannot be repaired by matter alone.

Link and Dumbledore's battle with Liro that night, it wasn't just Beauxbatons' buildings that were destroyed.

It even opened a wound in the hearts of all Beauxbatons.

Since Link and Dumbledore left, hatred has spread like poison in the hearts of everyone in Beauxbatons and even in the entire French magic world.

Not only that, but Beauxbatons' morale also fell to the bottom.

The current Beauxbatons no longer have the arrogant look they used to face foreign guests.

Beauxbatons has also been labeled as unsafe.

And this label does more harm to Beauxbatons.

No parent would be willing to send their child to an unsafe school, no matter how high the school's teaching level is.

As a result, almost all foreign students who were scheduled to enroll in Beauxbatons this year, their enrollment plans all fell through.

Letters of reprimand and notice from their parents almost filled Norton's letter shelf.

Not only those prospective students who have not yet entered the school, but even those teachers and students who are still in school, did not have enough loyalty to Beauxbatons as Maxim expected.

In fact, a large part of them fled Beauxbatons as early as the first time Beauxbatons were attacked, and never came back afterward.

Right now, Beauxbatons is at its lowest level ever.

Maxime worked hard for the first two years, and the progress that took countless gold Galleons to develop was almost beaten back to the prototype overnight.

Right now, Beauxbatons is almost nothing but a gorgeous empty shell.

The only remaining students in it are not only small in number, but their morale is also severely depressed.

And if you want to change all this, you have to take a strong medicine.

For example - revenge!

Revenge is necessary!

This can fully vent the resentment in everyone's heart and make people cheer up again.

At the same time, it can also prove to the world that Beauxbatons' strength still exists.

What Hogwarts can do, they can do too!

So, just a month ago, the team gathered by Norton set off for the country.

Norton had high expectations for them, and even paid a huge sum of money to satisfy all their needs in order to make them feel at ease to complete the task.

And now, it's time for them to pay back.

"crunch-"

The door of the office was gently pushed open.

A woman wearing a slim low-necked robe walked in, pushed the gold wire glasses on the bridge of her nose, and said excitedly:

"Principal Norton, all communication channels and even the borders have been blocked in the magical world of the country, and now there are people over there who want to Apparate or use the door key to escape, even an owl does not want to fly out. Therefore, we have absolutely no way to obtain the information over there, but judging from their big moves, the expatriate team has already started!"

Norton turned his head slightly, and a smile finally appeared on his originally indifferent face.

"In that case, let the Observer Daily publish the pre-prepared articles."

Norton said quietly.

But when she heard the words, the woman opposite was stunned for a moment.

As Norton's most trusted secretary, she certainly knew what Norton was talking about.

It was an article written by Norton himself, which roughly described the chaos in the wizarding world and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and fully expressed "sympathy" for the loss.

Its entire article is crazy about the magic world and Hogwarts.

The sense of schadenfreude in this makes people even if they don't know the details of the matter very well, just reading this article can roughly speculate that this matter has nothing to do with the French magic circle.

Is such an article really suitable for publication?

Especially in the current situation where they don't even have a clear understanding of the current state of the magic world in the country?

Taking a deep breath, she still didn't have the courage to speak up.

She is very clear about her position.

She was just a tool to help Norton.

As for the tool people, they only need to complete the work and do not need to have their own consciousness.

After saying goodbye, she quickly left the office.

And Norton was alone, continuing to overlook the entire Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

As one of the shadow men, how could the female secretary's idea be hidden from him.

As early as the first time the other party had doubts, all the thoughts in her head were already perceived by him.

He does not deny that the idea of ​​a female secretary has some truth.

But is that really necessary?

He absolutely trusts the expat team.

Those people will definitely not betray him.

And as long as this is ensured, then the affairs of the magical world of the country will not be related to him.

At least not on the bright side.

Of course, the most important point is that.

Norton couldn't help it.

For revenge, he has endured for so long, and now, it is time to release!

Norton just stood in front of the window, his expression ferocious and fierce.

I don't know how long it took until a large cloud composed of owls flew from a distance and fell all over Beauxbatons, Norton's expression finally calmed down.

The Daily Observer moved quickly.

Now that the article has spread, it is time for him to appear.

Norton took a deep breath, sorted out his gorgeous robe, and walked straight towards the auditorium.

Along the way, he could clearly perceive that Beauxbatons, who had been so quiet that he was even depressed, was waking up little by little.

Every student who received the Observer Daily and read the article above was cheering wildly.

Their cheers gathered together and turned into Beauxbatons' strongest voice!

The Daily Observer, which is constantly being sent by the owls, is like a shot in the arm, which is constantly reviving the dying Beauxbatons.

No, not just Beauxbatons!

Norton could even foresee that similar scenes were happening all over the French magic circle.

Just imagining that scene, Norton's heart involuntarily quickened his pace.

As he got closer to the auditorium, the cheers of the students became louder and louder.

In the end, when he really pushed open the door of the auditorium and appeared in front of everyone, the terrifying sound inside the door even made his eardrums hurt.

All the students, all the professors all stood up at this moment.

They looked at Norton with great excitement, and some even had tears in their eyes.

This is Principal Norton's revenge for them.

Even if not a single letter in that article confirms this, it is still beyond doubt!

Principal Norton is their hero!

Under everyone's attention and cheers, Norton slowly raised his hand.

The next moment, the entire auditorium fell silent.

This is the instinctive reaction of Beauxbatons students. They all know that Principal Norton will speak next.

When the principal and the professor spoke, as Beauxbatons students, they had to stand up and keep quiet.

They were even ready for Norton's next tirade.

As usual, they might complain and curse afterwards.

Right now, none of them are willing.

Because, it was Principal Norton who avenged them!

What about Hogwarts?

What about the magic world of the country?

You can do what we do, and the pain you make us feel, we can also inflict on you!

Beauxbatons is the best magic school!

The French magic world is also the strongest magic world!

However, to the surprise of all of them, Principal Norton did not inherit Principal Maxim's long speech habit.

Facing the excited faces under the stage, Norton's eyes were also red.

He raised his hands high and simply said aloud:

"Celebrate! Classmates! Today we have a day off to commemorate Ms. Maxime and those who have passed away! Come on! Let's celebrate!"

Norton's hands were constantly waving.

And along with his actions, the entire auditorium was completely chaotic.

Cheers and weeping resounded throughout the auditorium.

The professors were also running around to tell each other, some of them winked, and even got up and ran to the kitchen together, and began to order the chefs there to prepare the banquet.

But just when everyone was immersed in this happy atmosphere, the door of the auditorium was pushed open.

A team of wizards wearing traditional wizard robes and pointed wizard hats quickly broke into the auditorium.

They looked serious all the way and walked towards Norton aggressively.

The crowds in front of them along the way will be pushed away by a gentle but unstoppable force.

With their appearance, the cheers in the auditorium gradually subsided.

Almost everyone in the auditorium was looking at them with bad expressions.

And they don't care about it at all.

I saw that they came straight to Norton, and then the man in the lead pointed to the blood-colored W brooch on his chest and said:

"We are investigators of the International Confederation of Wizards, Headmaster Norton, your alleged collusion with the Death Eaters and planning to attack Diagon Alley and the Hogwarts Express has been appealed by the Ministry of Magic to the International Confederation of Wizards. , this move violates Article 132, Article 4 of the International Wizarding Law. Next, please cooperate with our investigation."

After saying that, the wizard stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

This is to take people away.

After realizing this, the cheers in the entire auditorium instantly dissipated.

The faces of the people who were still cheering also changed.

Everyone gathered in an instant, blocked in front of the group of people, and stared at them fiercely.

As you can see, the group of pointed hat wizards didn't seem flustered at all.

The man in the lead continued to look at Norton and said:

"So, Principal Norton, are you going to violently resist the law? I need to remind you that this kind of behavior is absolutely intolerable to our International Federation of Wizards."

Hearing this, Norton shook his head.

The smile on his face has been completely replaced by seriousness.

The presence of this group of International Wizards Confederation personnel is enough to explain a lot of things.

At least, the attack team he sent out was not as reliable as he thought.

There is definitely someone among them who chose to arch him out after being arrested.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Now he just wants to know one thing, and that is...

"Your Excellency Investigator, may I ask what happened to Diagon Alley and the Hogwarts Express, did they... suffer a lot of damage?"

As soon as Norton said these words, a sneer rose on the face of the leading investigator.

He took out a copy of the Daily Prophet from his pocket and handed it to Norton, then said loudly:

"The two attacks on Diagon Alley and the Hogwarts Express, respectively, ended in failure! Among them, the Hogwarts Express was spearheaded by Link Foley, the current Hogwarts trustee and commissioner, He directed the students on the train to counterattack in self-defense and annihilate all the incoming Death Eaters! The attack on Diagon Alley was carried out by the Auror troops of the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom in cooperation with Link Fowler, who is currently a member of the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom of China. interest was subsided, and all the criminals were arrested and brought to justice. Not only that, they also formed an investigation team after the incident, and it took less than three hours to capture the French team behind the planning and agitation of this incident, and passed the The confession of one of them confirms that you are the mastermind behind this incident, Principal Norton!"

The investigator paused, then continued with a smile:

"The Ministry of Magic is very angry now. They have publicly executed all the participants except the required witnesses. So I'm sorry, Headmaster Norton, and all the students, for letting you down."

As soon as the investigator finished speaking, there was an uproar in the auditorium.

They are still planning to celebrate their successful revenge!

But who would have imagined that the article published by the French magic circle authoritative newspaper "Daily Observer" turned out to be fake!

The magic world of the Kingdom was indeed attacked, but unlike the magic world of France and Beauxbatons, the magic world of the Kingdom of China was able to achieve this level in the face of a riot attack of this level.

It was the first time that everything was over!

And suppressed all losses to the limit!

They are telling the French wizards and the whole world that the magic world of the country is different from the magic world of France.

Everyone present felt hot on their faces.

They are hitting all the wizards in France in the face!

On the podium at this time, even after hearing the bad news, Norton's expression did not change much.

But his slightly swaying body and increasingly pale complexion still betrayed the great change in his emotions at the moment.

銆毯xuan嗗圄銞銞鮑鐷彷勞寮嬬岰鈞堸堸宸宮宮宮實業宭鍜鈧 Xuan partner 紒熺壒綔寔寮嬬岰鈞戞堸堸寮寮app锛屽挭鍜蒧長頒琪熺壒嶔寠寮€qi︺€麺浔鍓嶉兘闱劺堓嶓湕芕孉嶔︽卙戞椂闂 Da 溴杩欓噷鍙each other/p>

This should have been a perfect plan.

The Death Eaters who remained in the magical world of the kingdom could not be considered weak.

That group of people is a huge force that cannot be ignored no matter if they are placed in any other area controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and it is enough to set off a violent riot.

But in the country, they failed.

Strange, Dumbledore and Link Foley are too strong!

Now, not only did Norton's fire not ignite the entire magic world as he expected, but it burned himself on the contrary.

At this moment, Norton's emotions were so complicated that it was hard to describe.

"Principal Norton, time is running out, please don't embarrass us, let's go!"

The investigator captain next to him spoke impatiently.

Hearing this, Norton finally regained his senses. His gaze swept over the faces below, which were either gloomy, disappointed, or sad, and finally landed on the investigator's face.

"I…"

"etc!"

Norton's voice just remembered, when it was interrupted by an eager voice.

Immediately afterwards, a thin middle-aged man trotted into the auditorium with a group of Aurors.

When he came to Norton and the investigator, the person who came here wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a sigh of relief:

"Mr. Investigator, we respect the International Federation of Wizards, but this is definitely not what Principal Norton did. I think there must be some misunderstanding here!"

"Mr. Minister," the investigator captain said with a sneer, "do you also want to obstruct our law enforcement?"

"No no no! Of course not!"

The French Minister of Magic waved his hands again and again and said, "I just said, there must be some misunderstanding here! Why don't you do this? Anyway, Mr. Norton can't escape, why don't you go back to the Ministry with me and sort it out?"

While speaking, the French Minister of Magic smiled as if to please.

This made the sneer on the investigators' faces even more intense.

They looked at each other and then slowly left under the leadership of the Aurors.

Before leaving, they even made a throat-slashing gesture at Norton.

Obviously, the matter didn't end there.
