I really didn't want to practice immortality at Hogwarts

Chapter 246 Better to be prepared than to fight

Hearing Fox's whine, Professor Dumbledore also lost his composure.

The old principal lowered his hands, closed his eyes and tilted his head, as if he couldn't believe the facts in front of him.

"...Let's think of another solution, Headmaster." Professor Sprout took a step forward, as if wanting to help Dumbledore.

But Professor Dumbledore shook his head.

Several professors obviously had their own thoughts. Professor Snape was thoughtful, with no expression on his stern face, but the wand in his hand pointed at the four-color magic relic in the corner of the room.

Professor Flitwick jumped up on the table very rudely, gently picked up a black magic trace, took out a monocular, looked at it carefully, nodded to Snape and everyone, "It should be Is such that……"

These magical relics are the remnants of an evil force that didn't exist very long.

"Devil! Damn devil!" Professor Moody shouted out first.

His words seemed to make the air that had just fallen into dead silence jump.

Everyone looked at him together.

Professor Moody said angrily, "Why, isn't this a fact? Since the devil has appeared again, we must find a way to expel them back to hell!"

Everyone was silent.

Demons are not a taboo topic like Voldemort. Of course, everyone can talk about demons casually; but to be honest, people would rather talk about Voldemort's "you know who he is" in a hoarse voice than to talk about demons.

Because the devil is an extremely terrifying existence in the traditional wizard context.

The fact was already so obvious, but no one broke the tacit understanding that everyone knew. This time Professor Moody directly shouted out his judgment, leaving everyone speechless.

"Ahem..." Professor Umbridge cleared her throat, as she usually did when she wanted to interrupt.

"There is no evidence, Professor Moody! There is no evidence that those evil gods from ancient legends have ever really appeared... Especially under the leadership of Minister Fudge, the entire British wizarding world is peaceful, and even werewolves and dark wizards have disappeared. This is the best time for the entire wizarding world. We should not doubt Minister Fudge..." Professor Umbridge raised her head vigorously as she spoke, as if trying to increase the authority of her words.

But right under her feet, a trace of magic mixed with black, dark blue, and dark green was rising like a fine evaporating mist - this trace was the legendary "pure black magic" that only demons can perform. .

Professor Moody looked at her with disgust, "Do you dare to point your wand at the pure black magic at your feet? If you don't believe in demons at all."

"This..." Umbridge was already feeling guilty, but she couldn't refute what he said, so she was speechless and stopped talking.

"The Ministry of Magic must be notified," Professor McGonagall's voice was cold, and her words attracted the professors' glances.

After all, everyone knows that Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic are at odds with each other, and Professor McGonagall firmly supports the principal.But in the current situation, she was the first to propose "reporting to the Ministry of Magic."This is an unusual signal.

"That's right..." Professor Dumbledore sighed.

Everyone focused their attention on him again.

The emergence of demons in the wizarding world is a serious event with a super-priority alert level.Even if there are personal grudges and disagreements, Professor Dumbledore will always ensure the overall situation first.

If the occurrence of demons is made public, the entire wizarding world will be on full alert. Not to mention that Hogwarts will be closed, wizards may once again impose martial law in accordance with the law. This will be the first time since the last goblin rebellion.

"... Ridiculous." Umbridge muttered with her lips curled up.

But no one cared what she said.

"Now, Professor Moody, Professor Flitwick. You two are going to the Ministry of Magic with me. I want to explain the seriousness of the current situation to Fudge face to face... Flitwick, please keep the evidence."

"Yes, Professor," Flitwick replied sharply.

Then, he waved his wand, made magic imprints, took photos, and preserved samples of the demonic magic relics.

"I want to see Minister Fudge too!" Umbridge said suddenly.

"Okay, Professor. You're coming too, since you insist." Professor Dumbledore nodded towards her.

Then, the principal said to Snape, "Professor Snape, I need you to patrol around with Hagrid to ensure the border security of the entire campus. Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout... you are responsible for the safety of the students... Hagrid, you came just in time, did you hear my arrangement, follow Snape!"

Hagrid had just come in. He didn't know what happened yet, but he could clearly feel that the room was strange.

"Okay, Professor Dumbledore."

Then, Professor Dumbledore turned to Professor McGonagall and spoke in a particularly serious tone, "Minerva, remember. The safety of students comes first at all times. If something goes wrong, I will allow you to Override and activate the defense system of the entire castle, try to gather the students together, and all classes will be suspended starting from the afternoon."

"Understood, Professor." Minerva also looked serious.

Professor Moody clenched his fists tightly. He once again browsed the demonic magic relics in the entire dormitory before he said bitterly, "I think Zhang Chun is right... If we really face evil, we must take action first." Strong, we need to rearm ourselves."

Professor Dumbledore nodded, "So I asked you to come with me... remember to prepare a new wand. Moody."

Professor Moody's wand was broken during the last battle in Crimson Vision.

"No! Not a wand, Professor, I need a staff!"

"Oh?" His words caused Professor Dumbledore to look sideways, and other professors also looked at him in surprise.

The staff is a weapon from the pioneering period of wizard combat. Due to its high power, complicated production, and large size, it is no longer suitable for the modern wizard world.Everyone loves small, portable wands.

To use a metaphor, a magic wand is equivalent to a pistol in the Muggle world. Even a gentleman can be equipped with a pistol; but a magic wand is equivalent to a machine gun. It is a bit incomprehensible for people nowadays to equip a machine gun casually.

"Yes, the wand." Moody said affirmatively, "And I also need to back up the wand. Just like Zhang Chun once said, it is better to be prepared than to fight, and not to fight without being prepared."

Professor Dumbledore nodded, "I agree, does anyone else need backup weapons?"

After everyone hesitated for a moment, Snape raised his hand first, and then almost everyone started to raise their hands.
