Chapter 170 The Days when the Principal Is Away (Modified)

News of Hagrid's capture and Professor Dumbledore's forced departure from Hogwarts spread throughout the castle overnight.

People in the castle were panicking: "Professor Dumbledore is gone, what should we do?"

"The school will probably be closed soon!"

"Is Hogwarts still the safest place in the world without Dumbledore?"

"After he leaves, there will be attacks every day!"

Such talk abounds in the castle.

With Dumbledore gone, fear spread like never before, so the sun that warmed the castle's outer walls seemed unable to penetrate the mullioned windows.

Every face in the school looked apprehensive, and every laugh that rang out in the hallways was harsh, weird, and quickly suppressed.

After Lockhart was captured, another person from the school was sent to Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic. The important thing is that Alan and his group no longer have a teacher in their Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Professor McGonagall, who acted as the temporary principal, and Professor Flitwick, the headmaster of Ravenclaw, called Alan to the office.

"Harris, under the current situation of the school, there is no way for us to find a suitable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor immediately." Professor McGonagall frowned and stared at Allen closely.

"You have performed very well as Dumbledore's course assistant. We have heard him praise you many times." Professor McGonagall took out a large piece of neatly stapled parchment, and Alan glanced at it. His name is - Hermione Granger.

"And the classmates also think that you have the ability to continue to lead everyone's learning. Professor Flitwick also praised you, thinking that you are the most outstanding student in the history of Hogwarts!" Professor McGonagall is obviously not used to this. The way of complimenting others is rather blunt.

"Of course, your performance in the Transfiguration class is unparalleled by almost no one." As if aware that his tone was not good, Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and said in praise.

"Your boss praised you so much and didn't hesitate to praise you. He must have a task to assign to you..." Alan, who was rich in inner activities, didn't say a word. He vaguely guessed that Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick had asked him to come. Purpose.

"You are very responsible and extremely self-disciplined in everything you do. Your classmates and professors speak highly of you. Therefore, we would like to give you an important task."

Professor McGonagall was very serious and solemnly asked Allen to "lead the second-year students to continue learning Defense Against the Dark Arts, even if they just read some books."

Professor Flitwick nodded his head, looking proud.

It's not like they haven't considered letting senior wizards, such as Percy Weasley, lead their classmates in their studies.

However, firstly, the senior little wizards may not be able to convince the students of the four colleges; secondly, they may not be able to get close to the mental state of the little wizards; thirdly, the little wizards are very anxious and very few can Study calmly and as usual.

The most important thing is that the Defense Against the Dark Arts course is very large and it is impossible for a young wizard to complete it completely.

After the discussion of several professors, courses in other grades were either taught by professors or taught by the little wizards themselves.

In the second grade, the emergence of an elite wizard like Allen was enough to reassure the professors that they would leave the second grade Defense Against the Dark Arts study to Allen.

Under Professor Flitwick's expectant gaze, Allen nodded in agreement and took over the task.

In essence, the task was not difficult for Allen, who has been a course assistant for some time.

Although his understanding of magic theory may not be as profound as Dumbledore's, he is still familiar with the course content and can do it easily.

Students from the four colleges had no objection to Allen standing on the stage of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The strong are respected, this is an unchanging truth since ancient times.

Even the arrogant Malfoy, who loves to find trouble the most, had no objection.

Ever since Malfoy was rescued from the Acromantula by Allen in the Forbidden Forest, he has rarely continued to target Allen. In addition, the pure-blood status of the Harris family... Therefore, the Slytherins are under the control of the Dark Spider. His performance in the Magic Defense class was also quite satisfactory.

In fact, Allen's course went particularly well. His fluent expressions, complete and detailed lecture notes, and profound knowledge...all this made the second-grade wizards respect and admire him.

When I was a student, there was always someone who left a very deep impression on other students, who was incredibly good and made people look up to them, and Allen was such a person.

Summer came quietly to the grounds around the castle; the sky, like the lake, turned into a light blue with purple light, and flowers as big as cabbages bloomed in the greenhouse.

Compared with the calm situation in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the interior of the castle was already a mess.

Alan wanted to visit Penelope and Hermione, but visitors were blocked outside the hospital. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

"We can't take any more risks," Madam Pomfrey opened the hospital door a crack and said seriously to the visitors, "No, I'm sorry, the attacker will probably come back and kill these people completely... "

Not only Madam Pomfrey, but also the professors in the school seemed more serious than usual, teaching students sternly and restraining them strictly.

The little wizards were ordered not to wander around without permission, but to move around the castle in groups with other students.

In fact, the little wizards seemed happy to have their teacher escort them from classroom to classroom, while Alan found it extremely annoying.

However, one person seemed to particularly enjoy this atmosphere of fear and fear.

Draco Malfoy walked around the school with as much air as if he had just been appointed Head Boy.

In fact, everyone knows what he is thinking: he is a pure blood of Slytherin and will not be targeted by the heirs of the Chamber of Secrets; his father is a director of the school and has the right to participate in voting to determine the position of principal; he hates Dumbledore , Dumbledore's suspension was exactly what he wanted.

Such a proud Malfoy made Alan have the urge to beat him severely.

The Ravenclaw common room was always packed these days.

Because after six o'clock in the evening, Ravenclaw students have nowhere else to go.

And they always had a lot to talk about, and as a result, the common room was often occupied well after midnight.

This also brought inconvenience to Allen's life. Allen has been looking for an opportunity to leave the castle these days. He wants to return to the Forbidden Forest while no one is paying attention, and find the passage for the Cockatrice to enter and exit the Forbidden Forest by groping for traces of the Cockatrice's activities.
