The impact of Dumbledore's death was far-reaching.
The most obvious change is that many students who were supposed to return to school after the memorial service left directly accompanied by their parents.
The parents of these little wizards do not think that Hogwarts is still the safe Hogwarts that has lost Dumbledore.
"Sorry, Professor Flitwick, my mother doesn't agree with me coming to class again and doesn't want me to continue studying."
"Professor Sprout, your Herbology class is great. I am honored to be a member of Hufflepuff, but my whole family is moving to Belgium and I must say goodbye to you."
"Professor Slughorn, I would like to ask you to tell Professor McGonagall that my child Pomona will be transferred to Beauxbatons Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry and will not come to class from today on."
Outside the cemetery, many parents of students have found professors they are familiar with to discuss transfers and withdrawals.
Such a dropout turmoil was unimaginable in Dumbledore's era. Wang Xu made a rough calculation and found that the number of dropouts was as high as 30%.
This means that one out of every three wizard apprentices has chosen to drop out or transfer to another school, and the remaining two are also undecided, apparently weighing whether to continue studying.
Hogwarts...
"There are too many people dropping out, and we must take countermeasures. If this continues, Hogwarts will have to be closed."
"Most of the students who dropped out and transferred schools are Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students. Gryffindor was relatively less affected. As for Slytherin, not a single one dropped out."
"Yes, Slytherin is from the Dark Lord's camp. These people are eager for the Dark Lord to come back. I'm afraid they can't wait to celebrate."
After sending away the difficult parents, Professor Wang Xu returned to Hogwarts and gathered together for a meeting.
Listening to the noisy sounds in his ears, Wang Xu always sat on the chair and closed his eyes to relax.
After arguing for a long time, no one could come up with a countermeasure. The fundamental problem before them was that there was no second Dumbledore who stood up and came to the stage to resist Voldemort. No matter how much everyone said, it was useless.
"Although the Dark Lord is crazy, he will not embarrass the college. We teach students quietly and live our lives with the door closed. Can the Death Eaters still kill us?" Professor Basilda from the magic pattern class,
Having said this, he looked at everyone and whispered: "As long as the Dark Lord still has sense, there is no way he would let a group of Death Eaters become teachers for the students."
Not every professor at Hogwarts stands firmly on the opposite side of Voldemort, and Professor Basilda of the Demon Pattern Course is one of them.
Wang Xu raised his head and glanced at Professor Bascida. He knew the direction of the plot and knew that what Bascida said was correct.
In the movie, although Voldemort took over Hogwarts after Dumbledore's death, he did not kill these professors, including Professor McGonagall, who had always opposed him, and Dumbledore's loyal friend Hagrid.
The only victim was Professor Bubbaji from the Muggle Studies class. Although she was a pure-blood wizard, she believed that mudblood wizards were no different from pure-blood wizards. She objected to Voldemort's claim that even though his parents were not wizards, he himself was a wizard.
Qualified Mudblood wizards are considered pests in the wizarding world and encourage wizards to marry Muggles.
There was a certain inevitability in her death. Voldemort believed in blood and did not have a good look on mixed-race wizards. How could he tolerate Professor Bubbaji's monstrous words to deceive the public.
Whether it is for his own blood supremacy or to reduce the opposition in the magical world, Professor Bubbaji must die.
Except for the mudblood wizards, Voldemort did not want to go on a killing spree.
During the decisive battle, he once said personally that every drop of wizard's blood was precious, and hoped that Hogwarts, which resisted him at the time, would surrender, and promised to forgive everyone, even if they had been against him before.
.
Although it can be thought that this is because Voldemort saw victory in sight and wanted to take Hogwarts without bloodshed.
But it cannot be denied that a proud person like Voldemort usually will not let himself break his word, and his pride is no less than what he did.
"Let's not mention the Dark Lord for now. I want to know what Harry will do. The prophecy says that Harry is the only one who can defeat the Dark Lord. Dumbledore used to protect him at Hogwarts, and the Dark Lord didn't dare to do anything.
.Now that Dumbledore is gone, I think when the Dark Lord comes back to his senses, the first one to deal with is Harry." Professor Flitwick suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
Upon hearing this question, all the professors present fell into deep thought, and no one knew how to respond.
"Let Harry take a break from school. Hogwarts can no longer protect him. Staying in school will only harm him. Maybe we can let him go abroad to avoid the limelight." Professor Sputraw said, and came up with a countermeasure.
countermeasures.
Everyone whispered for a while, and some people thought this method was good. As long as Harry left Hogwarts, Voldemort would not vent his anger.
Some people think this is a sign of weakness. Harry is a student at Hogwarts, and asking him to seek refuge abroad does not mean that the British wizarding community can no longer protect him.
Moreover, Harry is the prophesied savior, and the way to defeat Voldemort may very well fall on him.
If Harry was discovered midway, a few elite Death Eaters would be able to finish him off without much effort, and Voldemort's last scruples would disappear.
"Don't worry about Harry. I think at this time, members of the Order of the Phoenix have already found him and taken him to a safe enough place. What we want to discuss is not Harry, but the coming era of Voldemort.
Where should Hogwarts go?" Professor McGonagall interrupted her speech and brought the topic back on track.
After hearing that there was no need to worry about Harry, Professor Flitwick shrugged and expressed that he had no objection.
Professor McGonagall looked around, and after seeing that no one spoke, he took the initiative and said, "Professor Wang Xu, what do you think we should do?"
Wang Xu was closing his eyes to rest. When he heard Professor McGonagall calling him, he opened his eyes slightly and whispered: "The enemy will not move, I will not move, and I will remain unchanged to cope with all changes."
"Do nothing?" Slughorn scratched his head, not thinking this was a good idea.
Wang Xu nodded lightly, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and whispered: "Everyone can think about what the Dark Lord is going to do now. First, he will hold a celebration meeting and summon all the Death Eaters.
Announce that he has killed Dumbledore. This is essential. Voldemort needs to use this victory to establish his invincible and powerful posture.
This is a psychological offensive. If you think about it, even the strongest white wizard is no match for the Dark Lord. Who else in the world can stop him? Following the Dark Lord is very promising. Then, he will look for Harry while attacking.
The Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic is the orthodoxy. The effect of occupying the Ministry of Magic is far greater than that of occupying Hogwarts. Moreover, Voldemort needs to use the Ministry of Magic to claim that what he is doing is correct and appease the fears of ordinary wizards.
.
When public opinion is in his hands, I think the Dark Lord will not come forward on his own, but will ask the Ministry of Magic under his control to send officials to Hogwarts. This official will probably come to everyone here for tea one by one,
Then he will ask you if you still want to do it. If it doesn't matter, you can get out. If you want to do it, just go to class. Then, he will threaten that Hogwarts is not an independent kingdom and needs to accept the leadership of the Ministry of Magic.
At that time, the Ministry of Magic was already the puppet department of the Dark Lord. Everyone knew that accepting the leadership of the Ministry of Magic was accepting the leadership of the Dark Lord in disguise. However, the other party was holding high the banner of the Ministry of Magic. Hogwarts
Unless funds from the Ministry of Magic are not needed, we have no choice but to accept that there is no other way out. So I think we don’t need to do anything, just wait and see.”
Everything Wang Xu said actually happened in the original work. If it were to happen again, I think Voldemort would make the same choice.
After all, Voldemort promoted the theory of blood, with the purpose of purifying the wizarding world, and was not a madman who only wanted to destroy.
From his point of view, he is doing the great work that Slytherin has not yet completed.
Thousands of years ago, one of the founders of Hogwarts, Salazar Slytherin, who later disappeared mysteriously, was a young wizard who firmly opposed Muggle birth and came to Hogwarts as a pure-blooded person.
Salazar Slytherin believed that young wizards of Muggle origin would lead to the degradation of the wizarding world, and he wanted to purify the school several times to eliminate those who he believed were of low origin and unworthy of learning magic.
As the descendant of Slytherin, Voldemort happily inherited the legacy of his ancestor, and he had great intentions of carrying forward the theory of blood.
And it should be noted in particular that Voldemort was targeting people from Muggle families who were born with wizard blood, commonly known as Mudbloods. Mixed-blood wizards were not an example of this. After all, he was also a mixed-blood, and it was impossible to oppose him.
"Dark clouds cover the sun and the wind does not move. What can we, a group of sheep grazing on the ground, do?" Professor Slughorn stood up and walked out without looking back.
: "You can continue the discussion, I will not participate in the subsequent discussion."
As Slughorn left, Bathida soon followed, and then Snape pulled away.
There are only a dozen professors in Hogwarts, and three of them left in a row. There is no need to hold the meeting, and there is no point in holding it anyway.
Wang Xu also chose to leave. If he had time for a meeting, he might as well go to Diagon Alley and try to buy a suitable shop and open his own potion shop. He didn't care about the dispute between black and white wizards.
He still has the same idea, whether it is a white wizard or a black wizard, it is the same as having a surname of She or a surname of Zi. In the end, he is still the same as a bird.
As for the persecution of mudblood wizards by dark wizards, Wang Xu only listened to it as a news broadcast.
On the news network, there are disaster forecasts every day, and the small country of South Africa is at war all the year round. There is no Virgin Mary to serve as a charity ambassador.
What's more, Wang Xu is the Holy Mother who is compassionate and merciful, so he shouldn't be treated like the world of Harry Potter. How wonderful is the wasteland plane, where there are endless poor people waiting to be rescued by the Holy Mother, and the wasteland where people eat people.
Compared with other planes, Death Eaters are as kind as angels in fairy tales. At least they won't cut off your penis and then roast it for you to eat, and they don't add cumin.
