A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

"You'll have to take care of yourself from now on!"

“Mr. Gaius, it…” Professor McGonagall stared wide-eyed at Abbe, “How far can its healing abilities go?”

"It can't bring the dead back to life, but it can handle most diseases, curses, injuries, and even poisons."

Professor McGonagall was deeply shocked. She knew this dragon was unusual, but she hadn't expected it to be this special.

I need to treat it better from now on; you never know when I might need it to save my life!

“By the way, Professor McGonagall, there’s something I need your help with.” Aaron cleaned up a relatively clean area. “Erase Ekmor’s memories, and also arrange a bed for me at the university hospital later.”

"What?" Before Professor McGonagall could react, she saw Aaron lying on the ground, pointing his wand at his temple, "Fainted."

Snapped!

A flash of white light, and Aaron's hand landed on the floor, his wand slipping away.

Abe quickly went on high alert, its four claws sprouting blades as it carefully guarded its master.

Professor McGonagall was both amused and exasperated; this was just too nasty.

"Miss Ekmo, you should be ready by now!"

Marietta nodded blankly. She knew too much. If this memory wasn't erased, not only would Aaron, Professor McGonagall, and Dumbledore be worried, but even she herself wouldn't be at ease.

Professor McGonagall drew her wand and pulled out a few strands of silver filaments from Marietta's head, only breathing a sigh of relief after they had completely dissipated into the air.

After a few minutes, the effects of the Stunning Curse gradually wore off.

Fudge groggily opened his eyes and then struggled to get up from the floor.

Where is he? Where is he?

“I don’t know.” Kingsley staggered to his feet. “Minister, you may not like Dumbledore, but he was truly remarkable.”

"Hiss!" Umbridge was about to speak when he felt a sharp pain in his face.

She nervously picked up a shard of mirror, glanced at it briefly, then threw it away, cursing angrily, "Damn it, damn Dumbledore!"

How dare he treat me like this! Minister, you must stand up for me!

Fudge, Kingsley, and the newly awakened Delilah all gasped at the sight of Umbridge's swollen face, and the three grown men took a step back in unison.

Not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

It was Marietta's face that boosted their immunity; otherwise, they probably would have retreated by more than one step.

“You…” Umbridge opened her mouth, but a lump remained in her throat.

“Don’t come any closer,” Fudge said immediately. Kingsley and Delilah strongly agreed with the minister’s wise decision.

"Hmm..." Aaron rubbed his eyes and sat up groggily. "My head hurts so much!"

"Minister, you must have captured Dumbledore, right?"

Fudge and the others looked at each other, feeling as if they had been stabbed in the heart.

They were full of confidence when they made their move, but who would have thought that all of them combined wouldn't last more than a few moves against Dumbledore?

"Something went wrong, and he got away," Kingsley said, sounding forced.

Aaron nodded as if he understood, then his eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at Umbridge in disbelief. "Wow, Dumbledore actually dares to keep magical creatures in the headmaster's office?"

Although it looks somewhat frightening, there is no doubt that it is a rare species.

"What?" Umbridge blinked blankly, feeling as if a million alpacas were stampeding through her mind, one after another ravaging her inner world.

"Ah!" Umbridge roared, drawing her wand and pointing it at Aaron. "Stuff a club into your front teeth..."

"Expelliarmus."

Before Umbridge could even utter the spell, her wand flew out.

Aaron seemed to realize something, and then looked at the 'magical creature' opposite him in astonishment. "Are you Professor Umbridge?"

I'm so sorry, I really didn't recognize him.

Marietta's face seems to be better, but what happened to yours?

Umbridge took another 10,000 points of damage and was about to retaliate when he was interrupted by Fudge's cough.

"Ahem, calm down, Dolores."

"But Minister..."

“This has nothing to do with Mr. Gaius. He was also under the Stunning Curse, wasn’t he?” Fudge seemed to see through the truth. “This was all Dumbledore’s doing. Catching him is the important thing.”

“He couldn’t have Apparated,” Kingsley said thoughtfully. “The stairs, he couldn’t have gone very far.”

"Quick, after them!" Fudge said immediately. Dexter was the first to rush out, followed closely by Kingsley and Umbridge.

Fudge hesitated for a moment, dusted himself off, and then glared at Professor McGonagall. "Minerva, I think your friend Dumbledore is finished this time."

"That's how it seems on the surface, but who really knows?" Professor McGonagall said dismissively.

“Minister, may I leave?” Aaron said in a low voice. “Your fight was too intense just now. I think I was accidentally injured. I need to go to the school hospital to lay low for a while. No, I mean, get checked out.”

"Minerva, I think you wouldn't mind taking Mr. Gaius to the hospital for a checkup!"

Miss Eckmore, she also needs to go back to her dormitory to rest.

"I don't need your reminder," Professor McGonagall said coldly, then led the two away.

Chapter 484 Brilliant Fireworks, Neither Teaching Nor Learning

when!when!when!

Filch pinned a new notice to the wall.

Ministry of Magic Order

Dolores Umbridge succeeds Albus Dumbledore as Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

The above regulations comply with Article 28 of the Education Order.

Signature: Minister for Magic – Cornelius Fudge

The notice caused a huge stir at Hogwarts. The students seemed to know that Dumbledore had left the school after subduing Fudge, along with two of his Aurors and Umbridge, but there was no further explanation.

Of the three people in the know, Professor McGonagall is the vice-principal, and the students don't expect to get anything out of her. Aaron is lying in the school hospital, and Professor McGonagall seems to have given instructions to forbid anyone from visiting him. Marietta becomes the students' main target, but she has had her memory erased and knows nothing about what she is doing.

Umbridge finally got the principal position she had always dreamed of, but the principal's office was automatically locked, and she couldn't even get past the stone beast guarding the door, so she had to stay in her office.

Therefore, most students had great faith in Dumbledore and believed that his departure was only temporary.

In order to further consolidate his power, Umbridge not only formulated various rigid doctrines, but also established an investigative task force.

Only those who support the Ministry of Magic can join this organization, whose members have the same power as prefects, but are even more unscrupulous.

......

School hospital.

Aaron changed into a hospital gown and sat comfortably on the hospital bed practicing magic circles.

Abe squatted obediently next to him, occasionally taking out some snacks from her pocket and putting them in her mouth.

Ms. Pomfrey looked at him helplessly. "Mr. Gaius, you're really putting me in a difficult position. You're clearly healthier than anyone else."

You've been lying here long enough; staying here is just taking up school resources.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Pomfrey,” Aaron said apologetically. “I’m well aware of my situation, but what I did was rather outrageous, so I need to lay low at the school hospital.”

I promise I'll be discharged as soon as the Easter holidays are over, and I won't stay any longer.

"What did you do?" Mrs. Pomfrey asked curiously.

"Well... before Dumbledore left, he knocked Fudge and the others unconscious. I got a sudden urge to slap Umbridge, so I slapped him twenty-eight times."

"What?" Mrs. Pomfrey stood up in surprise. "You did this to her face?"

"low profile."

“Well done! I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. She’s made a mess of Hogwarts.” Madam Pomfrey scolded indignantly, but her gaze toward Aaron softened considerably.

"She still thought it was Dumbledore who did it, and she kept cursing and swearing when she came to me for treatment yesterday."

"It's good that you don't doubt me." Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Now you understand why I'm here!"

“Understood,” Mrs. Pomfrey nodded. “For the sake of those twenty-odd slaps, you can stay until the Easter holidays, or even until the exams.”

boom! Boom!

The floor shook slightly, and countless excited screams came from outside the window.

Aaron and Mrs. Pomfrey instinctively turned their heads to look, and saw fireworks of various colors blooming in the sky.

Dragons of green and gold fireworks flew through the corridor, emitting huge explosions. Wheel-shaped Catherine fireworks streaked through the air like pink flying saucers. Rockets and sparklers wrote various profanities in the air. Firecrackers in the corners exploded one after another, but they lingered for a long time, leaving behind a dazzling spectacle...

Umbridge and Filch screamed in terror as they frantically dealt with the fireworks. Her investigative team was of no use whatsoever, running away faster than the two of them.

"Who did this?" Mrs. Pomfrey asked incredulously, but seeing Umbridge, who was being relentlessly attacked by the fireworks and looked utterly disheveled, she felt a long-lost excitement.

These fireworks were definitely contraband, but they brought a bit of life to the stagnant waters of Hogwarts.

"Who else could it be?" Aaron chuckled. "Besides the Weasley twins, I doubt anyone would dare to do this."

However, they have thoroughly offended Umbridge, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he is already prepared to be expelled.

"What? The price is too high."

They'll graduate in another two or three months.

"They're already preparing to open a shop in Diagon Alley. You should know them; they've decided to start their own business, so certificates and such are naturally optional."

Mrs. Pomfrey paused for a moment, "That seems to make sense."

“But setting off fireworks in broad daylight is a bit inappropriate, so I’ll give them another hand,” Aaron said meaningfully, before a mass of darkness appeared in his palm.

A massive black magic circle rapidly formed in the school hospital, followed by endless darkness that enveloped Hogwarts, creating a black barrier that blocked out most of the sunlight.

It was midday, but Hogwarts felt as if it were under the cover of night.

The joyful shouts outside abruptly ceased. Both students and teachers were completely bewildered by this sudden turn of events, with only the unfinished fireworks still dancing freely in the air.

"Tsk! Looks like I'll have to add something, or I'll make things worse."
