Hogwarts: Don't call me the Staff Maker

Chapter 799 The Peaceful Hogwarts

Alecto Caro was puzzled. She wondered when the atmosphere in the castle had suddenly improved. Before, no matter what decision she made, there would always be some reckless students who would jump out to oppose it, but recently, these voices seemed to have disappeared overnight.

Especially after Halloween, her work at Hogwarts suddenly became much smoother. Not only did no one contradict her in class anymore, but the gossip also decreased significantly.

Although some people still object to her decision during class, their voices are negligible compared to before.

And those Slytherins on the patrol team—they haven't caught anyone violating the new school rules for a whole week.

Carol initially didn't believe it was true. She called the patrol members into her office one by one and repeatedly used the Reveal Charm and the Dispel Charm on them before confirming that they were all real and not imposters disguised by Gryffindor using Polyjuice Potion.

But this also shows that no one in the castle is breaking the new school rules anymore.

Carol was pleased, despite Crabbe's repeated assertions that it was likely a Gryffindor conspiracy, but she remained unconcerned.

"No one can be without fear of the Dark Lord, Crabbe." On Christmas Eve, Carlo looked at the massive figure before him and said with immense pride, "Those Gryffindors simply made the right choice; joining the Dark Lord's embrace was the only way to survive. In fact, they should have done it a long time ago."

Seeing Carlo's nonchalant attitude, Crabbe subconsciously frowned.

Even Goyle knew that those Gryffindor brutes wouldn't surrender so easily, so why did Carole, a seasoned Death Eater, believe it so readily? Had she lost her mind?

Then he wanted to go find Snape.

Gryffindor couldn't be that honest, and Longbottom and Ginny Weasley couldn't possibly be in the Dark Lord's arms; they must be plotting something.

But they were too well hidden. The patrol team tried every possible method and made countless attempts, but they couldn't find a single clue.

But Crabbe wasn't going to give up so easily. He decided to just arrest them. He figured that if he used the Cruciatus Curse, they would definitely reveal their plans.

But Professor McGonagall would never allow him to do that, including the fact that every time the patrol team caught someone, Minerva McGonagall would arrive immediately.

This also meant that if their patrol team wanted to arrest someone, they needed someone like Carol or Snape to stop McGonagall.

Now that Carol has been deceived by Gryffindor, Crabbe has no choice but to go to Snape. In his view, the former Headmaster of Slytherin must be more rational than that mad witch and would surely be able to see through Longbottom's plot.

Crabbe arrived on the eighth floor, where the familiar dripping stone beast stood before him. He remembered the password was "Narcissus," a common potion ingredient.

Thinking of this, Crabbe couldn't help but quicken his pace.

He couldn't wait to capture Longbottom and use the Cruciatus Curse to extract information about his plot; that would be very interesting.

However, just as Crabbe was about to reach the dripping stone beast, a small figure entered his field of vision.

"Flitwick!" Crabbe blurted out instinctively.

"Until graduation, you should address me as Professor Flitwick." Professor Flitwick sighed. "Mr. Crabbe, the arrogance of the Death Eaters has made you lose the most basic manners as a student."

"So what?" Crabbe said dismissively, completely ignoring Flitwick's words, and even showing a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Since joining the Death Eaters, Crabbe has become increasingly convinced of the slogan of pure-blood supremacy. In his view, Flitwick, who has goblin blood, is just as bad as that Squib Filch.

He only kept his strength hidden because Flitwick was stronger. He was waiting for the Dark Lord to completely take over Hogwarts before dealing with this half-blood bastard.

However, Flitwick had already seen through Crabbe's thoughts. He remained silent for a moment, as if he had made a difficult decision, and gently raised his hand.

"What are you doing!" Crabbe frowned. "Get out of the way, I need to find—"

"Forget everything, and all is emptiness!"

Crabbe's eyes quickly became empty and unfocused, and he stood there blankly.

"Mr. Crabbe, weren't you going to the library to do your Potions class homework?"

"Oh right, I have to do my Potions homework." Crabbe's eyes regained focus, but he had completely forgotten why he came here, and he ran downstairs in a panic.

Watching his hurried departure, Professor Flitwick sighed again.

"If I could, I really wouldn't want to use this magic on the students."

"I already told you to let me do it, but you didn't agree." A black cat jumped onto the railing next to it and in the blink of an eye, it transformed back into Xilun.

"Oh!" Professor Flitwick was startled, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Sirlen, this is the Headmaster's office, Snape—"

"Don't worry, Snape isn't here." Cyren waved his hand to interrupt him. "He left school this morning and isn't in the headmaster's office at all."

"Even so, you shouldn't have shown yourself so rashly," Professor Flitwick emphasized. "Carlo and some Slytherins could appear nearby at any moment."

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing," Celen said. "But Professor, why didn't you let me stop him just now?"

"Can you assure me that you will only erase Mr. Crabbe's memory?" Professor Flitwick looked at Siron and asked seriously, "Anything else in mind?"

Xilun raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

But on the other hand, he has already given his own answer.

"This is Hogwarts, Shillen," Professor Flitwick said softly. "I cannot stand by and watch a student kill another student in the school, even if the other is a Death Eater."

"I've never thought of it that way, Professor," Siron said, pursing his lips.

He genuinely had no intention of killing Crabbe and Goyle directly at Hogwarts; Professor McGonagall would never agree to such an act, which was exactly the same as that of the Death Eaters.

But Celen couldn't let Crabbe and Goyle, who had plotted against him, get away with it. So when Crabbe approached Caro for the third time, suggesting that Neville be arrested and interrogated, Celen came over, ready to get rid of this troublesome man.

It's perfectly normal for the Oblivion Spell to go wrong; it's a good opportunity to collect some interest in advance.

However, Professor Flitwick seemed to have guessed his thoughts and rushed over, abandoning his half-finished class, thus resolving Crabbe's problem before Siron could.

It's a real shame.

"Not at school, Sirius," Professor Flitwick said again. "They are still Hogwarts students, at least until they really decide which side they're on—oh, I have to get back to class."
