Chapter 781： rumor

This summer, the magic world is destined to not be peaceful.

Everyone has not recovered from the imprisonment of former Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, and there is a grapevine that Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, is dying soon.

At first, everyone thought it was just some nonsense. After all, Dumbledore went to the International Wizarding Federation to receive a medal not long ago.

But as time passed, Dumbledore had not appeared in front of everyone and even the students for a long time, and this "rumor" seemed to gradually become true.

Some people recalled that at the beginning of the school year, Dumbledore's right index finger was palpitatingly black.

Suddenly, people at Hogwarts became panicky.

"Harry, is Dumbledore really dying?" Ron quietly pulled Harry aside and asked worriedly.

He suddenly remembered that after Harry and Dumbledore went to get the Horcrux, he became mature, stable, diligent and eager to learn, and Dumbledore also became reclusive after that.

Facing his friend's question, Harry's expression suddenly became a little tangled.

He didn't want to deceive Ron, but Dumbledore explained that this matter must be kept secret...

However, when Harry was hesitating, his embarrassed expression immediately made Ron misunderstood.

"No wonder..."

Dumbledore was injured while searching for the Horcrux before, and the injury Fisch could not heal, so it was very reasonable to do it again.

After the two injuries were superimposed, Dumbledore knew that he would die soon, so he made some kind of explanation to Fish and Harry, so Harry had changed so much...

Ron connected the events before and after, and immediately came to this conclusion.

When Harry returned to the Gryffindor common room with Ron in a trance, he immediately found that the atmosphere was not right, and everyone had a look of sadness and disbelief on their faces.

Just when Ron asked Harry about Dumbledore's situation, others found Fish, who had always been well-informed, and before he was surrounded by everyone, he left a sentence "Fish doesn't know", and then He dragged Hermione and ran away.

The performance of Cat Cat also caused everyone to misunderstand, and after seeing Harry with a strange expression and Ron with a trance, they immediately thought of the changes in Harry during this period.

"Harry...is that thing true?" Ginny asked in a trembling voice.

Others also looked over.

Facing everyone's gazes, Harry's expression became tangled again. In the end, he didn't say anything at all, lowered his head and didn't look at everyone, and ran back to the dormitory in despair.

This time, the Gryffindor students believed the news even more, and everyone fell into grief for a while.

At the same time, other professors at Hogwarts also found Professor McGonagall here.

"Minerva, is that thing true?! Dumbledore is about to die?" Hagrid, who hurried from outside the castle, asked gruffly, his voice full of panic.

Like other professors, Hagrid, who didn't quite believe it, went to the principal's office first, but found that the previous password could not enter, so he hurriedly ran to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall turned her head and replied dully, "Severus will tell you about this..."

Like Harry, she really didn't want to lie to her colleagues, so she left the task to Snape.

The others immediately turned their attention to Snape.

"Yes, Dumbledore is less than a month away." Snape replied with a blank face: "Originally, his previous injuries, relying on my potion and Fish's spells, still have some hope of healing. , but then in order to deal with the Dark Lord, he aggravated his own injuries, and even Fish and I couldn't do anything."

"But, but... Wasn't Albus alright not long ago?" Professor Flitwick retorted stumblingly.

"That was to confuse the Dark Lord." Snape's cold words shattered everyone's hopes, "The previous attack by Umbridge and the werewolf was actually to confirm Dumbledore's situation. Obviously, it is now impossible to hide it. Living."

"Take me to see Albus," said Professor Slughorn, "maybe I can help."

"Yes, I can also try to treat Albus." Madam Pomfrey also agreed.

In fact, when they heard that even Fei Xu had no choice, they didn't hold out much hope, and they only wanted to try it with the last bit of luck in their hearts.

Snape's gaze swept across everyone's faces one by one, and continued to say expressionlessly, "Yes, but it's just the two of you. Too many people will disturb him."

Although the others were also worried about Dumbledore's situation, they still obeyed Snape's arrangement very honestly.

"I'll be waiting here!" Hagrid said in a loud voice, looking at Professor Slughorn and Madam Pomfrey pleadingly, "You can bring back good news, right?"

The two smiled bitterly, did not answer Hagrid's question, and left Professor McGonagall's office behind Snape.

The others also stayed, wanting to know Dumbledore's condition as soon as possible.

And Professor Trelawney, after fiddling with the Carroll cards in his hand, vowed: "I just gave Dumbledore a divination, and the prophecy shows that he will be safe and sound!"

It's just that no one paid any attention to her words, or... After listening to Professor Trelawney's divination, everyone's heart became even colder.

On the contrary, Professor McGonagall glanced at her in surprise, a little confused whether she was comforting others, or whether the blind cat hit the dead mouse.

As for Professor Trelawney's divination to find out the truth, Professor McGonagall never considered it.

"Let's drink something, can you drink black tea?"

Professor McGonagall shook his head, put the matter aside, then took out a teapot and a few cups and placed them in front of the depressed professors.

……

In the principal's office, Dumbledore and Fish were sitting opposite each other, eating the pile of cockroaches crawling around in a box on the table, while Hermione nibbled a chocolate frog and showed disgust for the two of them. expression.

"Well."

Dumbledore threw a pile of cockroaches into his mouth, and while biting it creaking, he looked towards the door.

"someone is coming."

He quickly stood up, put away the cockroaches on the table, took out a small bottle of dark red liquid from the drawer, pinched his nose and poured it.

As Dumbledore drank the potion, his skin quickly turned yellow, his lips lost their blood, and he looked sick.

Then, he ran quickly into the bedroom of the cubicle, got into the quilt and started to play dead.

And Fei Xu also followed him to the bedside, lowered his head, drooped his ears, and pretended to be sad and lost.

(._.)

Hermione, who was not very good at acting, went around to the inside, also lowered her head, and used Fish's body and her hair to block the expression on her face.

After the three pretended to pose Snape also walked in with Professor Slughorn and Madam Pomfrey.

"Albus!" Madam Pomfrey immediately exclaimed when she saw the scene in the bedroom.

She covered her mouth, staggered back a few steps in disbelief, and almost fell, thanks to Professor Slughorn, who was beside her, reaching out to support her.

And after Professor Slughorn comforted Madam Pomfrey softly, he walked over to Dumbledore with a sad face, and checked his health with the feeling that a dead horse was a living horse doctor. situation.

However, as the examination progressed, Professor Slughorn's expression gradually became strange...

"It seems that my potion still can't be concealed from Professor Slughorn..." Snape smacked his lips with regret, and then said to Dumbledore on the bed: "Stop acting, it has already been discovered. ."

Madam Pomfrey, who was still wiping her tears, said, "Huh?"

Dumbledore opened his eyes, and sat up from the bed with a smirk under the surprised eyes of Professor Slughorn and Madam Pomfrey.

And Fish's ears perked up instantly, and he took out a pile of cockroaches from his pocket and handed it to Professor Slughorn and Madam Pomfrey.

(??ΦωΦ??)つ??

"Horace, Poppy, come and eat something, don't be angry meow." Cat Mao said decisively while delivering the food: "Fishu doesn't want to lie to you either, it's Albus' idea meow. !"
