Chapter 336 The Magic World Begins to Become Unsettled
After bidding farewell to the kind Mr. McNeill, Sainz Apparated to the Forbidden Forest and took out a large amount of raw meat that had been prepared long ago.
After about ten minutes, he finally saw the Thestral he had been thinking about.
His appearance is indeed unique. Compared with the Divine Horse, his looks are several levels lower, but his magic power is much higher than the former.
They are tall and skinny, with dragon-like heads, white and shining eyes but without pupils, and their wings are similar to those of bats, tough and huge.
The skin all over the body is black, a bit like very thin translucent leather. It feels very smooth to the touch, and it feels like you are touching directly on the bones.
While they were eating, Sainz observed and studied them carefully. He had touched them many times before, but they were always like a blind man touching an elephant, and it was never as clear as what he could see directly now.
Although all five senses are very important, we have to admit that vision is the fastest way to receive information and has the highest information density.
After satisfying his curiosity, Sainz came to the castle.
All the students went home, and most of the professors also went home, and the whole castle was quiet.
"Good day, Professor McGonagall." Professor McGonagall was one of the few people left in the school, and she was still dressed meticulously.
"Good day, Professor Autumn, would you like to have afternoon tea together?"
"Of course, that would be awesome."
Sainz followed Professor McGonagall to her office.
"Autumn, recently..." Professor McGonagall seemed to have something to say, but was a little hesitant about whether to say it. "...Recently, the wizarding world has been a little...not so peaceful. Someone has gone missing. I heard that it was an official from the Ministry of Magic."
"..., thank you, professor, I know," Sainz understood what she meant. Professor McGonagall was reminding him to be careful. "I will be careful."
"That's good," Professor McGonagall concealed her worries by drinking tea, "You may not know that more than a decade ago, everyone was worried every day..."
Sainz didn't feel deeply about this. He couldn't quite understand the fear of Voldemort that these older generations had.
But on second thought, although Professor McGonagall is a very great wizard, strictly speaking, she is actually a commoner.
It can be said that the vast majority of wizards in the wizarding world - except for the Aurors who specialize in dealing with violent incidents - are just civilians. It is understandable that they would be afraid of a gang of lunatics and murderers who are gathered together to form a mafia group.
Even the Aurors cannot be considered as a military force, at best they are just police officers. Think about it, in some areas where the mafia is rampant, even the police have to bow to the mafia. With this in mind, it is not particularly incomprehensible that the Aurors later became involved with Voldemort.
"...Now that man is back again," Professor McGonagall tried to keep her voice as calm as possible, "and you, you ruined his plan, you stopped him... from trying to kill Harry Potter, he won't give up easily..."
"Don't worry, Professor," Sainz said without saying much, comforting her: "You know, I seldom leave the school. I think nothing will happen if I stay in school. Dumbledore is here. Isn't that person most afraid of Dumbledore?"
Speaking of Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall's expression brightened up a lot, "Yes, Dumbledore is the only one who can stand up to him... He is really amazing."
"Besides, Professor, I was invisible when I rushed there, and I didn't show up," Sainz said meaningfully, "Unless someone betrays me, the other party shouldn't know it was me. Professor, do you think someone who knows would betray me?
You know, even Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick were not told about this, and the others, including Fudge... he was so busy covering it up... wouldn't that be tantamount to acknowledging the other party's return... he seemed to have been trying hard to deny it.
You and Dumbledore certainly won't, Mr. Black and the other party have a deep hatred, Professor Snape... Professor Snape... He is a professor who has taught at the school for many years. "
"You're right... As long as no one tells on you, that person shouldn't know about you, but..." Professor McGonagall seemed relieved, then a little hesitant, "... But... Maybe I shouldn't say this, but past experience has taught me not to have too high expectations of politicians."
Professor McGonagall's words were correct. Politicians' promises were bullshit. However, Sainz estimated that Fudge would keep it a secret because it was in his interest. "Thank you for your reminder, Professor. I will pay attention to it. I know they cannot be trusted."
Professor McGonagall said with emotion, "It's amazing. We are all proud of you. You are the most talented student in hundreds of years. Don't live up to your talent, Sainz." This was the first time she called him Sainz so affectionately.
Sainz could feel her deep love and care, which was a great expression of true love for the serious Professor McGonagall. Perhaps in her eyes, Sainz was still a child who needed to be protected under her arms.
"I am also proud of the professors," Sainz said sincerely, "You are worthy of the position of professor. This is one of the reasons why I can't give up Hogwarts."
Professor McGonagall also felt Sainz's sincerity, smiled, and then said angrily: "You didn't disappoint Pomona. She always shows you off every time she talks to me."
"Hey, I'm not only a Hufflepuff, I'm also a Hogwarts."
"Good, good!" Professor McGonagall said with relief and a little sadness: "How great it is for you... Alas... But that person is back again. This... This is really unfortunate."
"Professor," Sainz assured her, "It won't last long. His rampage won't last long."
He said to himself that even if Dumbledore's plan didn't work, Mr. Sai wouldn't let him keep jumping around.
Professor McGonagall probably just took his words as comfort and smiled with difficulty, "I hope so."
Sainz guided the conversation away from the uncomfortable topic and talked to Professor McGonagall about other things. After drinking two cups of tea, he said goodbye.
Coming out of the Gryffindor Headmaster's office, I headed straight to the eighth floor.
"I need a place to hide my things. I need..."
A big door appeared on the wall. He pushed it open and came in. Except for the toilet he asked for at the beginning, this was the third room Sainz needed in his request.
"That's good. I thought I couldn't summon it. It seems that magical creatures are not considered the masters of the room."
This room is obviously different from the "room that only I can enter". This is a public room with mountains of miscellaneous items. It is not an easy task to find things in such a room with mountains of miscellaneous items.
"Here comes the Ravenclaw diadem!"
no response.
It’s no use!
This is not easy to find!
The original track only said that the crown was worn on a stone bust. It is not easy to find a small crown in a mountain of garbage based on such a small clue!
