The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

What does Link want him to do?

Snape had already figured this out.

But can he really do it?

Abandoning Lily's only child, allowing him to be swallowed by darkness, while he is happy?

Snape didn't have an answer to that question.

Only at this moment, he recalled the previous dream again in his mind.

The person in the dream kept saying "I love you" to him, his voice was so gentle, and his embrace was so warm.

So much so that Snape's consciousness went into a trance for a short time just thinking about it.

"call--"

Snape took a deep breath.

He straightened up slowly, saluted Link and Dumbledore, and left the principal's office without a sound.

...

France.

Beauxbaton Principal's Office.

Compared with Hogwarts, Beauxbaton's headmaster's office is more luxurious.

It sits atop one of the tallest towers in the entire school.

And like the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom of Nation, all the windows here are also decorated with magic curtains, which can be used to isolate the outside prying eyes and at the same time arrange the scenery outside the windows at will.

At this moment, the window is cloudy.

Norton, on the other hand, flipped through the official document in front of him with a sad face.

After Maxim's death in battle, he became Beauxbaton's new principal as a matter of course.

This is the result of the unanimous support of No. 1 shadow person, and also the result of the vote of all Beauxbaton teachers and students.

After all, apart from his accident, there is really no one in Beauxbatons who is more suitable for this position.

This should have been something to celebrate.

However, the newly appointed principal Norton couldn't be happier.

"Ugh--"

He sighed deeply, put down the documents in his hand, got up and came to the window.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, he can overlook the entire Beauxbatons.

Compared with when Link and Dumbledore just left, Beauxbaton has been reborn from the ruins at this time.

Shadowman No. 1 fully fulfilled his previous promise and restored Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to its original state before the official start of school.

Unfortunately, however.

Some things cannot be repaired by matter alone.

Link and Dumbledore's battle with Lilo that night destroyed more than just Beauxbaton's buildings.

It also severely tore a wound in the hearts of all Beauxbatons.

Since Link and Dumbledore left, hatred has spread like poison in the hearts of everyone in Beauxbatons and even the entire French magic world.

Not only that, Beauxbaton's morale also fell to the bottom.

The current Beauxbatons no longer have the haughty look they had when they faced foreign guests.

Beauxbaton has also been branded an unsafe.

And this label hurt Beauxbaton even more.

No parent would be willing to send their child to an unsafe school, no matter how high the standard of teaching is.

As a result, almost all foreign students who were supposed to enroll in Beauxbatons this year, their enrollment plans fell through.

All kinds of reprimand letters and notification letters issued by their parents almost filled Norton's letter shelf.

Not only those prospective students who have not yet entered school, but even the teachers and students who are still in school are not as loyal to Beauxbaton as Maxim expected.

In fact, a large part of them fled Beauxbaton as early as the first time Beauxbaton was attacked, and never came back afterwards.

Today, Beauxbaton is in the most sluggish period in history.

Maxim had worked so hard in the previous two years, and the progress he had spent countless Galleons to develop was almost knocked back to its original form that night.

Right now, Beauxbaton is almost left with a gorgeous empty shell.

The only remaining students inside are not only small in number, but their morale is also extremely low.

But to change all this, we must take strong medicine.

For example - revenge!

Revenge is necessary!

This can fully vent the grievances in everyone's hearts and let people cheer up.

At the same time, it can also prove to the world that Beauxbaton's strength is still there.

What Hogwarts can do, Beauxbatons can do too!

So, just a month ago, the team assembled by Norton set off for the country.

Norton had high expectations for them, and even paid a huge amount of remuneration for them to complete the task with peace of mind, meeting all their needs.

Now, it's time for them to pay back.

"Crunch—"

The door of the office was gently pushed open.

A woman in a slim, low-necked robe came in, pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and said excitedly:

"Principal Norton, all communication channels and even national borders have been blocked in the magical world of the country. Now let alone someone wanting to Apparate or use the Portkey to escape, even an owl cannot fly out. !Therefore, we have no way to get the information there, but judging from their big actions, the dispatched team has already taken action!"

Norton turned his head slightly, a smile finally appeared on his originally indifferent face.

"So, let the Observer Daily publish the pre-prepared article."

Norton spoke quietly.

But the woman on the opposite side was stunned for a moment.

As Norton's most trusted secretary, she certainly knew what the article Norton was talking about.

It was an article written by Norton himself, which roughly described the chaos encountered by the Chinese wizarding world and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and fully expressed "sympathy" for their losses.

Its entire article is devoted to the magical world of Crazy Yin and Yang and Hogwarts.

The sense of gloating in this makes people even if they don't know the details of the matter, they can roughly infer that this matter has nothing to do with the French magic world just by reading this article.

Is such an article really suitable for publication?

Especially in the current situation where they don't even have a clear understanding of the status quo of the country's magic world?

Taking a deep breath, she finally didn't have the courage to speak out to dissuade her.

She is very clear about her position.

She was just a tool for Norton to do things.

The tool man only needs to complete the work, and does not need to have his own consciousness.

After saying her resignation, she quickly left the office.

And Norton was alone, continuing to overlook the entire Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

As one of the shadow people, how could the female secretary's thoughts be hidden from him.

As early as the first time the other party had doubts, he had already perceived all the thoughts in her head.

He did not deny that there was some truth in the female secretary's idea.

But is that really necessary?

He absolutely trusted the expatriate team.

Those people will definitely not betray him.

And as long as this is ensured, he will not be involved in the affairs of the country's magic world.

At least not on the bright side.

Of course, the most critical point is that.

Norton couldn't bear it anymore.

For revenge, he has endured for so long, and now, it is time to release him!

Norton just stood in front of the window with a ferocious and fierce expression.

I don't know how long it took, until a large cloud made of owls flew from a distance and fell all over Beauxbatons, Norton's expression finally calmed down.

The Daily Observer moved quickly.

Now that the article has spread, it is time for him to appear.

Norton took a deep breath, straightened his gorgeous robe, and walked straight towards the auditorium.

Along the way, he could clearly feel that Beauxbaton, who was originally so quiet that he was depressed, was waking up little by little.

Every student who received the "Daily Observer" and read the article clearly cheered wildly.

Their cheers gathered together and turned into Beauxbaton's strongest voice!

The "Daily Observer" sent by the owls is like a shot in the arm, which is constantly promoting the dying Beauxbatons to come back to life.

No, not just Beauxbatons!

Norton could even foresee that similar scenes were constantly happening throughout the French magic circle.

Just imagining that kind of picture, Norton's heart involuntarily quickened his pace.

As he got closer to the auditorium, the cheers of the students became louder and louder.

In the end, when he really pushed open the door of the auditorium and appeared in front of everyone, the terrifying sound from inside the door even made his eardrums hurt.

All the students, all the professors stood up at this moment.

They watched Norton excitedly, and some of them even had tears in their eyes.

This is Principal Norton's revenge for them.

Even if there isn't a single letter on that article to prove it, it's still beyond doubt!

Principal Norton, is their hero!

Under everyone's gaze and cheers, Norton slowly raised his hand.

The next moment, the entire auditorium fell silent.

This was the instinctive reaction of Beauxbaton's students. They all knew that Principal Norton was going to speak next.

And when the principal and the professor were speaking, as Beauxbaton's students, they had to stand up and keep quiet.

They're even getting ready for Norton's tirade to come.

As usual, they might complain and curse afterward.

But right now, none of them are willing.

Because, it was Principal Norton who avenged them!

What about Hogwarts?

What about the magic world in the country?

You can do what we do, and the pain you make us feel, we can do to you!

Beauxbatons is the best magic school!

The French magic world is also the strongest magic world!

However, to everyone's surprise, Principal Norton did not inherit Principal Maxim's eloquent speech habit.

Facing the excited faces in the audience, Norton's eyes were also red.

He raised his hands high and just said loudly:

"Celebrate! Students! Today we have a day off to commemorate Ms. Maxim and those who have passed away! Come on! Celebrate!"

Norton kept waving his hands.

And with his actions, the entire auditorium became completely chaotic.

Cheers and weeping resounded throughout the auditorium.

The professors were also running around to tell each other, and some who were winking, even got up and ran to the kitchen together, and began to order the chef there to prepare the banquet.

But just when everyone was immersed in this joyful atmosphere, the door of the auditorium was pushed open.

A group of wizards in traditional wizard robes and pointed wizard hats rushed into the auditorium.

They walked towards Norton with serious faces all the way.

All the people standing in front of them along the way will be pushed away by a gentle but unstoppable force.

Their appearance gradually subsided the cheers in the auditorium.

Almost everyone in the auditorium looked at them with unfriendly expressions.

And they don't care at all.

I saw them coming straight to Norton, and then the leader pointed to the bloody W brooch on his chest and said:

"We are investigators of the International Federation of Wizards, Principal Norton, you are suspected of colluding with the Death Eaters and planning to attack Diagon Alley and the Hogwarts Express in China, which has been appealed to the International Federation of Wizards by the Ministry of Magic. , This action violates Article 132, Article 4 of the International Wizarding Law, next, please cooperate with our investigation."

After speaking, the wizard stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

This is to take people away.

After understanding this, the cheers in the entire auditorium dissipated instantly.

The people who were still jubilant also changed their faces.

Everyone gathered in an instant, blocked in front of the group of people, and stared at them fiercely.

It can be seen that the group of wizards with pointed hats did not appear to be flustered at all.

The leader continued to look at Norton and said:

"So, Principal Norton, are you going to violently resist the law? I need to remind you that this kind of behavior is absolutely intolerable by our International Federation of Wizards."

Hearing this, Norton shook his head.

The smile on his face has been completely replaced by seriousness.

The arrival of this group of members of the International Federation of Wizards is enough to explain a lot of things.

At least, the raid team he dispatched was not as reliable as he thought.

Some of them definitely chose to arch him out after being arrested.

But this is not important anymore.

Now he only wants to know one thing, and that is...

"Your Excellency Investigator, may I ask what happened to Diagon Alley and the Hogwarts Express? Did they... suffer a lot?"

As soon as Norton said this, a sneer appeared on the face of the leading investigator.

He took out a "Daily Prophet" from his pocket and handed it to Norton, then said loudly:

"The two attacks on Diagon Alley and the Hogwarts Express respectively ended in failure! Among them, the Hogwarts Express was led by Link Foley, the current Hogwarts school director and committee member, Commanded the students on the train to fight back in self-defense, and wiped out all the incoming Death Eaters! The attack on Diagon Alley was carried out by the Auror troops of the Chinese Ministry of Magic in cooperation with the current member of the Chinese Ministry of Magic, Link Fowler. Li calmed down and arrested all the offenders. Not only that, they also formed an investigation team afterwards, and it took less than three hours to catch the French team behind the scenes planning and instigating this incident, and passed The confession of one of them confirmed that the man behind this incident is you, Principal Norton!"

The investigator paused, smiled and continued:

"Now the Ministry of Magic of the country is very angry. They have publicly executed all the participants except the necessary witnesses. So I am sorry, Principal Norton, and all the students, let you down."

As soon as the investigator finished speaking, there was an uproar in the auditorium.

They are still planning to celebrate their successful revenge!

But who would have guessed that the article published by the authoritative newspaper "Daily Observer" in the French magic circle turned out to be fake!

The magic world of the country was indeed attacked, but unlike the magic world of France and Beauxbatons, the magic world of the country was able to achieve this level in the face of this level of riot attack.

It was the first time to end everything!

And suppress all losses to the limit!

They are telling the French wizards and the whole world with practical actions that the Chinese magic world and the French magic world are different.

Everyone present felt that their faces were burning hot.

They are slapping all wizards in France in the face!

And on the podium at this time, even after hearing the bad news, Norton's expression still didn't change much.

But his slightly swaying body and paler face still betrayed the great change in his mood at the moment.

▽ This is the most important thing to do in the future./p\u003e

This should have been a perfect plan.

The Death Eaters remaining in the magic world of the country, they can't be considered weak.

That group of people is a huge force that cannot be ignored no matter in any other area controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and it is enough to set off a violent riot.

But in the country, they failed.

Oddly enough, Dumbledore and Link Foley are just too strong!

Now, instead of igniting the entire magical world of the country as he expected, the fire of Norton burned on himself.

At this moment, Norton's mood was so complicated that it was hard to describe.

"Principal Norton, time is running out, please don't make things difficult for us, let's go!"

The investigator captain next to him spoke impatiently.

Hearing this, Norton finally came back to his senses slowly. His eyes scanned the faces that were either dark, disappointed, or sad, and finally landed on the investigator's face.

"I……"

"and many more!"

Just as Norton thought of it, he was interrupted by an urgent voice.

Immediately afterwards, a thin middle-aged man trotted into the auditorium with a group of Aurors.

After reaching Norton and the investigator, the visitor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a sigh of relief:

"Mr. Investigator, we respect the International Federation of Wizards, but this matter is definitely not the work of Principal Norton. I think there must be some misunderstanding!"

"Mr. Minister," the investigator captain said with a sneer, "do you also want to obstruct our law enforcement?"

"No no no! Of course not!"

The Minister of the French Ministry of Magic waved his hands again and again, "I'm just saying that there must be a misunderstanding here! How about this, anyway, Mr. Norton can't escape, why don't you go back to the Ministry with me to sort it out?"

As he spoke, the French Minister of Magic smiled flatteringly.

This intensified the sneer on the investigators' faces.

They looked at each other, and then slowly left under the leadership of the Aurors.

They even made a throat-slitting gesture at Norton before leaving.

Clearly, the affair didn't end there.
