Chapter 139: Unpleasant lunch

Ai Wen, Harry, and Hermione left the school hospital. When they arrived at the auditorium hall, they found that the long tables used by the four colleges were moved to the wall. Only one piece was placed in the center of the room. The party table for ten people dining, people who are planning to stay in school this year are sitting around the table.

Ai Wen did not see Dumbledore, his position was empty.

In addition to him, Professor McGonagall, Snape, Professor Flitwick and Hagrid are all there, and the gatekeeper Filch is also there.

Filch has taken off his usual brown coat and wore a very old and rather outdated tuxedo. Next to Prof. Flitwick are two extremely tense first-year students, all of them at Ravenclaw College; on the left side of Snape, a sixth-grade student of the gloomy Slytherin College.

And Ron, he was sitting alone at the very end of the table, no one wants to be close to him.

undefinedHarry hesitated and walked over to Ron, his face full of worry.

Evan hurriedly pulled Harry, he couldn't just pass. Because of the matter of Professor Lu Ping last night, Harry now reacts normally and should hate Ron.

If you are close to it, it is easy to catch a snake.

The little dwarf Peter is an awkward opponent and has to be careful.

The three of them looked at each other, away from Ron, and sat down against Hagrid.

Except for Snape's mouth, which has been hung with a weird smile, the atmosphere on the table is very low and depressed. There is no happy atmosphere for Christmas. Everyone is quietly eating lunch, no one is talking.

"Ai Wen, Hermione, how are you two?" Hagrid asked with a sad face.

"Don't worry, Madam Pomfrey said that we have no problem, just need to..." Avon's words have not been finished yet. He saw three owls fly into the auditorium.

They had three red envelopes in their mouths and flew straight to the empty position of Dumbledore.

"It's enough, it's these screaming letters, they've been ringing for one morning!"

Professor McGonagall stood up, and she looked at the three screaming letters that were thrown at the table by the owl, and the corners of the envelope were burning.

She pulled out her wand and waved at the screaming letter.

The red envelope, which was slowly burning, slammed out three blue flames, turning the envelope into ashes in a blink of an eye, with no sound at all.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable!" Professor Flitwick said with a sharp voice, "Isn't these people crazy?! They actually sent a message to Dumbledore. I haven't seen such madness for years. Things."

"Stupid owl, and the same stupid screaming letter!" Snape sneered.

"I noticed that these screaming letters were all sent by the students of your college, Severus?!" Professor McGonagall said with a grin.

"Thank you for reminding me, I didn't find this before!" Snape's mouth showed a cold smile. "However, I can understand the reasons why the parents of the students did this. In my opinion, the principal did have this practice. If you can't think of it, can anyone think of the school professor's meeting as a werewolf? Who would have thought that this tamed werewolf would attack his own students? With this lesson, I believe that the principal will definitely hire the staff in the future. Very, very careful!"

"Professor Lupin is innocent!" Harry looked at Snape angrily and shouted involuntarily. "He didn't hurt anyone, he..."

"Quiet, Potter! Gryffindor deducted five points!" Snape turned to look at Harry, smirking and said, "I don't want to know what relationship you have with the werewolf, but I have to remind you, Pay attention to the tone of your speech, don't yell at me like an uncultivated werewolf nephew!"

Harry sat down in a hurry and forced himself not to look at Snape.

"Do not worry, Harry! There is Dumbledore, Professor Lupin will be fine." Hagrid whispered comfortably and seemed to have some lack of confidence. "It's terrible. I can't remember the three owls today. A few, they came with a screaming letter, and they continued to fly."

"This is the whole morning?" Ai Wen said.

"Yes, you and Hermione didn't come when they had breakfast. They didn't see the scene. In front of everyone in the school, more than 400 letters were blasted at the same time!"

"I told them just now!" Harry asked weakly. "Hagrid, is there any new news from Professor Dumbledore or Professor Lupin?"

"There is really a bad news." Hagrid hesitated. "I just heard that the Ministry is preparing to directly transfer Professor Lupin to Azkaban!"

"There is no trial yet, how can they do this!" Harry looked at Ron and his eyes quickly moved back. He lowered his voice and said, "Ron's accusation is obviously absurd, Professor Lupin will be proved. It is not guilty."

"I know, all the guys of Lucius Malfoy are behind the ghosts!" Hagrid replied angrily. "I don't believe in Lupin, but if it is me, I would rather die than be locked." Azkaban."

"Is it terrible, Hagrid?" Hermione asked cautiously.

"You can't imagine it. When I was killed by a monster in the control room 50 years ago, I used to stay there for a few days." Hagrid said calmly, "Nowhere is it, I thought I was going crazy. I was thinking about terrible things in my mind. On the day I was expelled from Hogwarts, the day my father died..."

"Because the dementors?!"

"Yes, you have seen these monsters this year, but you probably haven't seen thousands of dementors together, that kind of horrible feeling..." Hagrid closed his eyes and his face was painful. Recall, "Azkaban prison is built on a desert island far from the coastline. The island is full of dementors. Just stay there, after a while you don't know who you are, and you also I don't know what it means to be alive. I still remember that I used to want to sleep and die. When they let me out, I seemed to be alive again, and everything was remembered. It was the most wonderful in the world. The feeling. Remember, the dementors are not willing to let me go."

"But you are not guilty?!" said Hermione.

"Crime?!" Hagrid snorted angrily. "Do you think they value this? They don't care. They have already made five hundred people together with them. They can completely drain the happiness of these people. They don't care who is guilty and who is not guilty."

When he heard Hagrid, Harry felt that his stomach had turned into water, and his blood became cold instantly.

"Don't worry!" Seeing Harry and Hermione's face, Ai Wen hurriedly said, "Professor Lu Ping will not be detained in Azkaban. If we pass this evening, we can prove that he is innocent. of."

Harry didn't talk, he was still thinking about Azkaban.

He suddenly remembered that Sirius Black had been locked there for 12 years, and this feeling must be very bad.
