Harry Potter's Catastrophe - Chapter 464

Although he wanted the magic mirror largely because he could see whatever he wanted most in the mirror, he definitely didn’t use it to see indescribable and shameful things.
It’s a very legitimate purpose, of course to recall things from the previous life, I originally wanted to recall the original work, or other things.
“Oh, I almost forgot about the real thing.” After Carney said that, a few ice-hard spiders fell from the ceiling. “Sure enough, this excuse is completely unconvincing? Just say that Malfoy broke it, and use fakes to match Malfoy’s. Take the blame, Lucius has money to pay for it anyway.”
Carney said as he led the frozen spider out of the room, and sure enough, every suitable excuse could not be used.
The environment of the greenhouse is not conducive to the use of magic, and it is also an attractive place for reptiles to gather.
“You have to be careful. These plants are very precious species. Don’t hurt them again.” Professor Sprout said to the other teachers. Faced with the spider’s sneak attack, several plants would inevitably be damaged during the battle. Sprout could only pray that the spiders would stay away from the precious plant.
“This!” a teacher yelled, asking Dean Flitwick to deal with it, because he didn’t dare to cast spells randomly, and if he broke something, he would have to be taught a lesson by Dean Sprout.
Several spiders were suddenly floated up, without any resistance, allowing Flitwick’s magic to hit them.
It was the house elves who were dispatched. They were much more sensitive to monsters than human wizards, and they could also find the location of monsters in the dark.
“Oh, elves, that’s a big help.” Professor Sprout breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he could be solved so easily. “Let’s go to the next greenhouse quickly.”
With the help of house elves and ghosts, the progress was much faster. Finally, we met Professor McGonagall and the others, and all the Acromantulas in the castle were cleaned up.
Professor McGonagall has already sent a message to the Ministry of Magic, and he does not intend to force him to get a job. It must be those dark wizards who did not patrol Hogsmeade carefully enough and went to the Forbidden Forest.
The students’ interest that was aroused in the second half of the night was quickly extinguished by sleepiness, and they received the news that classes would resume as usual tomorrow.
At dawn, there were five or six black spots flying from Hogsmeade. It was only after flying close to Hogwarts that I saw that they were Aurors.
The Minister of Magic didn’t come. What a big deal. Maybe he didn’t dare to come.
Carney bets that if the minister came riding a broom, he would be frightened when he saw the spiders outside the ice wall, and he might even fall down.
Carney went back to the castle, and Professor McGonagall had already gone out to greet him. He seemed to be the director of the Legal Department. Carney had met him at the Ministry of Magic before, and he was somewhat impressed.
“Director Crouch, this is a serious attack by a dark wizard. We hope that Aurors will provide protection around Hogwarts.” Carney eavesdropped on their conversation.
“Deputy Dean McGonagall, are you sure? But I didn’t see the shadow of the dark wizard.” Barty Crouch still regarded this as a disaster caused by magical creatures. He should look for magical accidents and disasters Department or Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.
The Acting Headmaster of Hogwarts requested that he also have to make a trip.
“Is there any need to doubt this? I am absolutely sure that the other three deans have seen it.” The three deans were also present.
“Yes. There are indeed people in the Forbidden Forest who cast magic in an attempt to interrupt our spellcasting.” Flitwick asked Professor McGonagall’s eyes while he was speaking, and put the external defense measures on the professors.
“I saw it too. It’s really terrifying. There must be a dark wizard controlling these reptiles. You can’t imagine how many there are in them.” Lockhart also spoke as a witness, in order to prevent the pride present. Luo Men didn’t know him and introduced himself in a special way, “I am——”
“Only a few hundred?” an Auror interrupted. They took a general look around the situation as they flew over the ice wall. The Acromantulas were not very harmful. It would be more dangerous if there were a large number of them. However, it would be more dangerous to clean up a few hundred. Not difficult.
“If there were only a few hundred, we wouldn’t need to build such a high wall, sir. There were no less than ten thousand of them last night.” Professor McGonagall said, “If they could eat trees, there would be no more trees around Hogwarts.” One more piece of grass.”
“The specific number will wait until you go to the Forbidden Forest to investigate before we can argue. Some of the spiders have seriously mutated and appear to be the work of evil black magic.” Snape took out the spiders he caught.
The entire head of the Acromantula is dyed red, not their blood. As we all know, the Acromantula’s blood is green, its abdomen is covered with red pustules, and its tail can no longer weave silk.
“It does look quite serious. We will solve this matter.” Barty Crouch pinched his nose. The smell of spiders was not ordinary disgusting.
“Hogwarts is in deep danger now, and we must ensure the safety of the students.” Professor McGonagall said, “We have to prevent dark wizards from approaching Hogwarts. We need the protection of Aurors, at least for this semester. Before the end.”
“We will investigate, conduct an in-depth investigation into the forest, and arrest the dark wizard.” Barty Crouch winked at the Auror beside him.
“Sorry sir, it’s not that I’m dissatisfied with the security of the wizarding world, but Hogwarts is the only wizarding school in England with hundreds of students. Even if this kind of thing doesn’t happen, their safety should be guaranteed.” Professor Ge said seriously.
As the agency that manages the wizarding world, the Ministry of Magic is responsible for the safety of the school, especially in the event of an attack.
This is different from the attack of the basilisk. In the past, the basilisk could not be found, so the school would be closed. Now this is an external factor, and the Ministry of Magic has to provide protection.
“Of course.” Barty Crouch said as a matter of course, and left the meeting room with the Aurors. “These dark wizards are really troublesome.”
“Go back to class as usual.” Professor McGonagall said, and the deans also returned to their posts.
Kenai still remembered those red pustules. They seemed to be in the blood forest. They were infected or cursed by the land, so they became like that.
“Carney, you should go back to class too.” Professor McGonagall found him early in the morning.
“Okay, professor.” Carney wanted to ask the professor for extra points, but it was not easy to say it. He had to be shameless to ask Dumbledore.
Everyone got up very early today. Some guys even got up and went out first instead of going to the auditorium for dinner, but went outside to see the spider ice sculptures that had not been cleaned up, and the huge ice wall that was dozens of meters high.
There were many corpses of eight-eyed spiders in the huge ice wall. Once they were swirled in by the water, they could not get out until they were frozen.
“There’s nothing to see. Don’t interfere with the Aurors’ work.” Snape led several Aurors to remove the remaining spider corpses. They had to take them back to the Ministry of Magic.
