A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 890: The Girls' Bathroom is Outside the Vanished Cabinet?

Back at Durmstrang Castle, William and Hermione again took the secret passage.

Since the Carlo siblings have already started working, it's best to be cautious about staying at the school.

After quietly avoiding the students, the two entered the principal's office.

Sirius returned shortly after.

"How are things going with the Carlo siblings?" William asked, sitting on the sofa.

Voldemort left the Carol siblings at Durmstrang as professors to facilitate intelligence exchange.

Sirius didn't like the two of them very much, and pouted, saying:

"They not only wanted to teach, but also wanted to maintain discipline. The two of them even suggested that I use the Cruciatus Curse on the students who were put in solitary confinement."

This is the Death Eaters' style of doing things... brutal, unrestrained, and without any bottom line.

If they controlled Hogwarts, they would probably do the same thing.

Therefore, no matter how the situation in Britain changes, William will absolutely not hand over Hogwarts to Voldemort.

Sirius was also somewhat hesitant.

In the past, there would have been no question; those Death Eaters would have been killed outright.

But things are different now... William is pretending to cooperate with Voldemort under the identity of Grindelwald.

He didn't know how to deal with the two Death Eaters and was worried about ruining William's plans.

Looking at his expression, William immediately understood what the other was thinking, and smiled:

Sirius, don't be timid.

You are now not representing the Order of the Phoenix, but rather Grindelwald's subordinate.

This is the territory of the first Dark Lord, not Voldemort's lair.

The Death Eaters are our partners, but that's all... more like superficial brotherhood.

If the Carlo siblings are disobedient, don't hesitate to take action.

The premise is not to kill them.

The more forceful your attacks, the more they believe you are one of Grindelwald's men, and the more polite they become to you.

If you're too submissive, they'll only take advantage of you.

The current situation is that Voldemort is begging Grindelwald to cooperate, not the other way around.

If you need to ask someone for a favor, you should be aware of the importance of asking for a favor.

"If that's how you put it, then I understand." Sirius rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"The matter in Northern Europe is temporarily resolved." William glanced at his watch and said, "Hermione and I should return to Hogwarts."

The main purpose of this trip is to protect Sirius Black from being killed by Voldemort.

Now that the strategic goal has been achieved, they've even used Grindelwald's name as a shield to form a "holy alliance" with Voldemort.

Sirius will definitely be safe for a period of time.

"You're leaving so soon?" Sirius asked, somewhat reluctant to see them go.

Durmstrang was free, but he had no familiar companions.

William and Hermione spent the entire day at Durmstrang, and for most of that time, their whereabouts were unknown.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"William, may I go to Hogwarts today?"

"Of course," William said with a smile.

Sirius Black has been working undercover at Durmstrang for a year now.

Now that there are disappearing cabinets, you can certainly go and take a look.

Otherwise, it will always be three years after three years... Nobody can stand it.

"Use magic to close the door to the headmaster's office. Hermione and I will go back and check first. If everything is alright, then you can come back," William said.

Sirius nodded.

William led Hermione into the Vanishing Cabinet, and the door closed again.

The magic was activated, and a dizzying sensation, like an earthquake, followed.

When the "cabinet shake" ended, William and Hermione had already returned to the vanishing cabinet in their office.

William pushed the cabinet door, only to find that he couldn't open it.

Hermione's wand lit up, and she whispered, "What's wrong?"

"Someone locked the cabinet door from the outside." William frowned slightly.

Before leaving, he sealed his office with magic; only those with the password could enter…

The two looked at each other and said at the same time, "Annie!"

William banged on the cabinet and shouted, "Anne, is that you?"

But no one spoke; the office seemed empty.

"Watch me." Hermione blinked and tentatively asked, "Pineapple Head, are you there?"

"~Meow~"

William rolled his eyes and said, "Annie, your cat's here, what are you pretending for?"

After a moment, the little girl's reluctant voice came through.

"I just fell asleep," she said deliberately. "By the way, who was talking?"

"It's William and me! Open the cabinet door now!" Hermione shouted.

"Oh, it's Hermione..." Annie drawled, her tone tinged with confusion.

"Didn't you say you were going abroad for a conference over Easter? Why are you hiding in your desk or vanishing into the closet?"

William pressed himself against the wall of the Vanishing Cabinet and made up a story: "We used the Vanishing Cabinet to attend the meeting."

"But, brother, I checked the recent news and even asked Professor Dumbledore."

He said there was no meeting at all, and that the two of you were simply on vacation and didn't want me to bother you!

"..."

Dumbledore... he's really not a fair person.

Yes, William did help Vida Rozier deliver a message to Grindelwald, but did he really have to do something like this?

Outside the vanishing cabinet, Annie was still nagging, listing all the faults of the two men, and finally she angrily said:

"You and Hermione team up to lie to me! You lie to me every single time!"

"I'm not lying to you, I even brought a gift, do you want it?" William began to change the subject.

"If you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else!"

What? You dare threaten to give the gift to someone else?

The little girl was immediately furious and snorted:

"I've already brought the locker to the girls' dormitory bathroom, and I've placed it right next to the sink."

Luna, Ginny, and I are all taking a bath here.

Even if I open the cabinet door, would you dare to come out?

As they spoke, the sound of running water could be heard outside the cabinet.

William: "..."

Who are you scaring?

Who are you trying to scare!

What a foolish thing to do!

Do you think I'm afraid to go out just because it's a women's bathroom outside?

Even if you called all the pretty girls at Hogwarts to come and take a bath, I'd still go out... Go ahead and call them if you dare!

Hurry up!

I'm waiting for you!!

(gritting his teeth)

Of course, William only thought about it; he couldn't possibly say such a thing out loud.

Otherwise, before Anne could even open the door, Hermione would suffocate him in the vanishing cabinet with her chest.

After making a fuss for a while, Annie muttered something under her breath, waved her wand, and moved the box blocking the cabinet door.

William peeked out... and sure enough, it wasn't the girls' bathroom.

fraud!

He took a breath... well, there was absolutely no disappointment in it.

Annie, holding her pineapple head, stood a short distance away, glaring at the two of them.

William slipped out as if no one else was there and straightened his clothes a little.

After Hermione came out, he casually locked the Vanishing Cabinet.

What are you doing in my office?

"Do your homework, there are no seats left in the library." Annie rolled her eyes at him.

Well... the library at Easter is completely different from the library at the start of the school year.

"I'll also keep an eye on the vanishing cabinet for you two, to prevent anyone from taking it."

Annie gave me a look that said, "Come on, praise me!"

"No one else can come in except you, okay?" William delivered a chop to her head.

Annie winced in pain and groaned a few times in dissatisfaction.

"This is a gift for you," Hermione said with a smile, pulling Anne along.

It was an Olaf, perched on Hermione's shoulder, staring curiously at Anne and the silly cat in her arms.

Outside the Snow Queen's palace, there are many Snow Babies.

Following the principle of "a thief never leaves empty-handed"... oops, I mean, "cherish magical creatures," William took the opportunity to abduct a few before leaving.

"It needs to live in a cold environment, so you'll have to build an icehouse inside the safe zone using the Freezing Charm," Hermione warned.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go make it now." Annie grinned.

She took out her safety watch, and the three of them went inside.

Before going inside, William felt like he had forgotten something.

Forget it, if I can't remember, I won't think about it... It's probably not a big deal.

After waiting for ten minutes, Sirius, who was getting impatient, finally crawled into the vanishing cabinet.

After the world spun around him, he hurriedly pulled the handle, only to find that the cabinet door was already locked from the outside.

"..."

Sirius knocked hard, but there was still no response. He shouted loudly:

"Where are they, William? Hermione? Where did you all go?"

Could it be that damned Voldemort has invaded Hogwarts?

"Hurry up and let someone in! Open the door!"
