Hogwarts: Where are the Pokémon?

Chapter 194 The Opened Chamber and the Raider

The power of the Rockets has grown stronger in the outside world.

With the financial support of several big family wizards, and Xia Lin's continuous supply of Pokémon materials, the Rockets' funds became more abundant.More and more wizards are also thinking of joining the Rockets, with two days off every week, a basic salary of 100 Galleons, and meal allowances, high temperature subsidies, low temperature subsidies, attendance subsidies, and performance commissions...

In other words, even senior officials of the Ministry of Magic may not be able to match their benefits.

Even if you are poisoned, there is a professional medical team. The nurses and sisters at the Ji Li Egg Hospital are good-looking, with a sweet voice, and uniform temptations. Isn't this much better than those aunt pharmacists in St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital?

I heard that the nurse's uniform in the Lucky Egg Hospital came from the Muggle world. As expected of a Muggle, it is 1000 years ahead of the wizarding world in the way of dressing!

The only thing that disappoints them is that not everyone can get Pokémon.

The number of wizards joining Team Rocket is simply too high.So Sakagi simply came with a performance reward.If you want to get Pokémon, you still have to show your achievements first, or show your own abilities.

But even though I don't have one, watching others get Pokémon is also a great motivation for these newly joined wizards.Make them work harder to complete the mission of the rocket.

Most of these tasks issued by the Rockets are not very evil tasks.

As Sakagi said, Team Rocket is a villain organization, not an evil organization.Creating chaos has never been his purpose, world domination is!

The goal of the Rockets at this stage is to continue to attack the reputation of the Ministry of Magic of various countries in addition to development, to destroy some international magic exchanges and cooperation, and to stir up a little trouble with the secrecy law from time to time, so as to distract the energy of the International Federation of Wizards Come.

Therefore, although the magic circles of various countries are severely cracking down on the Rockets organization, the more they crack down, the more the Rockets will grow stronger like a Hydera who keeps coming back from the dead.

But none of this has anything to do with the British Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts.

Now, the British wizarding world has become the safest place in the entire world, contrary to the norm of decades ago.

But in reality, it's not that safe.

Like today—Halloween, when nothing happens.

Like the usual Halloween, the hall is decorated with many huge pumpkins and bats. The only difference is that there are a few more people in the professor's seat, and a few fewer people in the student's seat.

Lockhart dressed like a dog, constantly attracting the attention of other people.Slughorn released some of his Pokémon and watched them climb on the dining table.

Mag frowned, but still persuaded: "Horns, Horns! Usually we don't release Pokémon in the castle at will."

Slughorn was a little surprised. "Why? They're very good."

"Because some little wizards brought Pokémon to make trouble in the castle before." Professor Flitwick explained, "This caused a lot of trouble to our administrator, Mr. Filch, so Albus thinks it's better to Let Pokémon stay in the Poké Ball when they are in the castle."

"This is too cruel!" Slughorn immediately shook his head, "I don't think this one-stick-to-death rule is really wise. Pokémon can move around in the castle, as long as there are some restrictions. And I think it would make his job easier if he had a Pokémon for him as well."

Slughorn actually knew Filch too, after all Filch had been a guard here for a long time.But he never remembered Filch's name.

A Squib with no magical abilities, only Dumbledore would give him a job.Even his family members don't care about his life or death.How else can you say that Dumbledore is a saint?
However, this saint is not a real saint.

"For example, small Pokémon are allowed to move in the corridors of the castle. Just like little wizards are not allowed to cast magic, they are forbidden to release moves. Although the edge of the Black Lake is a good place for a walk, it is still a bit too far away. If the courtyard in the castle is still It would be cruel not to allow walks." Slughorn's proposal apparently had the support of many young wizards.

"Okay, Horns, I will think about it, no, I think, let's start now!" Dumbledore said after thinking for a while.Then he looked at Xia Lin again, "Would you like to let Argus cultivate a Pokémon?"

Xia Lin naturally nodded.

He didn't really like Filch, he knew that Filch was definitely not a good person.But Xia Lin doesn't care much about this. The important thing is that Filch has a deep affection for his cat, Mrs. Norris.Training Pokémon to him may not necessarily make him stronger, but at least he won't have a bad life.that's enough.

"I'll give him a suitable Pokémon."

The students in the auditorium immediately cheered and released their Pokémon.

It turned out to be a bit of a mess this Halloween—

"Wood! Toucan is not a small Pokémon, take it back quickly!" Professor McGonagall shouted forcefully, "Seamo, and your Thunderbolt ball, you think it can just-"

"boom--"

Before she could finish her sentence, Seamus' thunderbolt exploded, and the two students closest to him were disheveled.

Neville didn't pay attention and let the little Snorkel slip out.The kid squinted his eyes and came to the Slytherin dining table like a ghost. He yanked the tablecloth and threw all the food that was nearly a hundred meters long into the air. It swallowed all the food like a bottomless pit.

The Slytherin students were immediately dumbfounded.

Fortunately, as long as food is copied, all the little snakes will be hungry.

In this way, the dinner party passed in a tumultuous manner.

However, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same. When the three of Harry stood at the door of the bathroom on the third floor and looked at the hanging cat, he only felt that the sound of more than 100 approaching footsteps was very noisy .

The real culprit, Draco Malfoy, got out of the crowd at the right time, twisted his face and shouted: "Enemies with the heir, be careful!"

"Harry Potter! You killed the cat!"

"You are the heir!"

Malfoy said without hesitation.

"What? It's not me!" Harry immediately cried out in a panic.

At this time, Filch, who originally thought he could suppress Pokémon, happily pushed away the crowd:

"What's going on here? What's going on?"

Then he saw Mrs. Norris, and he stumbled back a few steps, clutching his face in horror.

"My cat! My cat! What happened to Mrs Norris?" he screamed.

At this moment, his bulging eyes caught sight of Harry.

"You!" he screamed, "You! You killed my cat! You killed it! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to—"

"Argus!"

Xia Lin rushed to the scene with Dumbledore and other professors, and the petrified cat was obviously not what Dumbledore expected.

"It seems that he didn't do what you thought, but controlled the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets." Xia Lin looked at Dumbledore, but he didn't say anything.Dumbledore didn't respond, but walked briskly past Harry, Ron and Hermione, and unhooked Mrs Norris from the torch holder.

"Come with me, Argus," he said to Filch, "and you, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger."

"My office is closest to here, Headmaster - it's upstairs - you can -" said Lupine with a worried face.

"Thank you, Remus," said Dumbledore.

Hundreds of students parted ways for them, Lockhart also followed with excitement, and naturally Slughorn and Snape would not be absent.

When the group arrived at Lupine's office, Dumbledore put Mrs. Norris on the clean table and began to examine it carefully.After a nervous exchange of glances, Harry, Ron and Hermione settled into a few chairs out of the candlelight and watched closely.

Dumbledore's long, crooked nose almost touched Lady Norris' hair.He looked at it carefully through the half-moon-shaped glasses, poking here and there with his slender fingers.Professor McGonagall bent over, squinted her eyes, and almost touched the cat with her face.Snape stood behind them, half hidden in the shadows, looking eerie.The expression on his face was odd: it was as if he was trying desperately not to laugh.

Filch slumped in a chair by the table, covering his face with his hands, not daring to look at Mrs. Norris.Harry, despite his dislike for Filch, couldn't help feeling a little sympathy for him at the moment, but he felt more sympathy for himself.If Dumbledore had believed Filch, he would have been expelled.

At this time, Dumbledore whispered some strange words, and tapped Mrs. Norris with his wand, but there was no response: Mrs. Norris was still lying there stiffly, like a freshly prepared specimen.

Finally, Dumbledore straightened up.

"It doesn't look dead to me," Slughorn said first.

"Not dead?" Filch choked out, looking at Mrs. Norris through his fingers, and then at Dumbledore. He trusted Dumbledore more than Slughorn.

Dumbledore nodded immediately.

"Then why is its whole body—the whole body stiff, as if it's frozen?"

"It was petrified," said Dumbledore, "but how, I don't know..."

Not sure?Xia Lin smiled, it would be strange if she didn't know.But he had made up his mind not to get involved.The diary was chosen by Dumbledore to be released, and Dumbledore would naturally solve the problem by himself.

"Ask him!" screamed Filch, turning his mottled, tear-stained face to Harry.

"It's impossible for a second year student to do that," said Dumbledore firmly, "it would require the highest Dark Arts—"

"He did it, he did it!" spattered Filch, his fat, sagging face turning purple. "You saw what he wrote on the wall! He found out— My office—he knows I'm a—I'm a—" Filch's face twitched horribly, "he knows I'm a Squib!"

"I didn't touch Mrs. Norris at all!" cried Harry, uncomfortably aware that everyone was looking at him, including all the Lockharts on the wall. "I don't even know what a Squib means."

"Nonsense!" growled Filch. "He saw my correspondence letter for a quick spell!"

"Allow me to say something, Headmaster." Lockhart somehow put in good words for Harry. "Perhaps Potter and his friends just shouldn't be in that place at that time."

Seeing this, Harry, Ron, and Hermione scrambled to explain that they had gone to the Deathday Party: "... There are hundreds of ghosts here, and they can prove that we are there-"

At the same time, Harry turned his attention to Snape. If it was normal, Snape would have happily watched them suffer.But now, Snape just stood behind the crowd without saying a word, seemingly thinking about something.

After Voldemort's downfall, Snape actually didn't have much intention to fight against Harry. After all, he was also Lily's son.Although she looks "a bit shabby", her eyes are still so beautiful.Sometimes it is unavoidable to deduct points in class.

but now--

If the Chamber of Secrets thing is true, this is no joke.

But Filch was unwilling to accept this outcome.

"My cat is petrified!" he screamed, eyeballs bulging outward. "I want to see someone get some punishment!"

"We can cure it, Argus," said Dumbledore patiently. "Professor Sprout has got some mandrakes recently. Once they're big enough, I'll have a cure that will make Lore Lady Liz came back from the dead."

"Let me configure the potion." Slughorn took the initiative to take over the refining potion, and Snape, who was about to speak, almost choked to death.

However, his hostility towards Slughorn is not as great as towards Lockhart in the original books.

"Ah, I forgot, the real potions professor is still here!" Slughorn remembered that Snape was still there, "Severus, you better come, I won't bother."

The professors said something to each other, which made Harry and the others very nervous.

Seeing that they were just like this, Xia Lin said, "Since there is no evidence to prove that Harry did it, then I want to take them away. They must have been starved to death after attending a party of ghosts."

"Excuse me, Xia Lin." Dumbledore nodded.

Then, Xia Lin took Harry and the three out of Lupine's office. Before leaving, Lupine gave each of them a piece of chocolate to satisfy their hunger.

"I'm afraid there's nothing to eat in the kitchen."

"Don't worry, I'll take them to my office first, there's food there." Xia Lin smiled.

After leading Harry and the others out, Xia Lin recalled the strangeness he noticed in Lupine's office just now.

When Lockhart saw the line of blood, he was very excited.

Although he tried his best to anesthetize his emotions, Xia Lin still noticed this.But why should a saint care so much about the Chamber of Secrets?

Does Grindelwald also want to seek the power of Slytherin?
