Chapter 483 Back to the Topic
After returning to Hogwarts, Sainz immediately followed Hermione's method in the original trajectory and went downstairs to the principal's office to use the Summoning Charm, trying to summon dark magic books related to Horcruxes.
As a result, nothing was gained.
Seeing that there was no one around, he flew to the window of the principal's office on the eighth floor to check. The window was closed and there were no books that could not fly out from the window.
Very reasonable!
This situation was totally within his expectations. Anti-summoning spells must have been cast on these important things. Old Dumbledore was just unconscious and had not yet died, so the magic was naturally not ineffective and it was normal that he could not be summoned.
He looked inside through the window. The layout of the office was still the same as when Old Deng was in office, and there was no sign that anyone else had moved in.
"It seems that Snape is still living in his basement," Sainz thought to himself, "I don't know whether the office refused him entry or he didn't try to open the office door."
He figured that Snape might not have even tried to enter the headmaster's office, but it was also possible that the office refused to acknowledge his identity as the headmaster and refused to let him in.
Whether in the original trajectory or in the present life, Snape seems to prefer staying underground.
When he was the Potions professor, the classroom was in the basement. It could be said that was his original choice, but after he became the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he still did not change the location. The offices of other Defense Against the Dark Arts professors were all on the third floor, and the classrooms were on the fourth floor.
Slughorn, also a professor of Potions, likes spacious spaces, so he chose the seventh floor for his office and classrooms.
Sainz didn't care about not receiving the relevant books. If he couldn't summon them, then others probably couldn't summon them either. As for directly destroying the office's defenses to enter, it would definitely make a lot of noise. As long as the person still wanted to stay in Hogwarts, he wouldn't be so desperate.
Of course, the most important thing is that Sai has already mastered the method to restrain the Horcrux holders, and he does not absolutely care whether the method of making Horcruxes will spread.
On the third day of school, the Daily Prophet finally published a report about Sainz Autumn's open confrontation with the Aurors, accusing him of openly resisting arrest and insulting Ministry of Magic employees, which was simply lawless.
In fact, the Evening Prophet published the same content the night before, but the number of subscribers and influence of the evening paper were far less than those of the daily paper, and the speed and efficiency of information dissemination were far inferior.
However, although the Ministry of Magic once again increased the reward for Sainz Autumn in the newspaper, it seemed like much ado about nothing.
The new Minister of Magic, Thicknesse, only publicly denounced his evil deeds but was vague about how to capture him next.
It is said that Autumn is extremely vicious and has been lingering in Hogwarts and refuses to come out. Considering the safety of the students, the Ministry of Magic does not plan to break into the school to hunt him down, but will temporarily adopt a siege strategy. As soon as he leaves the school, he will be arrested as soon as possible.
When asked whether they would allow a dangerous dark wizard to stay with the students if the other party did not come out, Thicknesse said that the siege was only a temporary strategy that would not last long. The Ministry of Magic was actively mobilizing its forces and would take action as soon as it was sure that the students' safety could be guaranteed.
At the same time, Thicknesse spoke to Sainz Autumn in the newspaper, urging him to immediately put down his wand and walk out of Hogwarts Castle to surrender to the Aurors outside the wall.
The Ministry of Magic will not let any bad guy go, nor will it wrongly accuse any good guy. If Autumn is dissatisfied with the current accusations, she can appeal to the Ministry of Magic. I believe that the fair Aurors will investigate the whole story and give justice to everyone.
Sainz Autumn's uncooperative attitude is undoubtedly the worst. I hope that people in the magic world who are familiar with him can give him comfort and make him turn back as soon as possible.
"Damn it," Sainz threw down the newspaper, "These people are so inefficient!"
Sai, who was angry, immediately circled the high wall of the school and hung all the Aurors guarding outside on the outer wall to expose them to the cold wind for a day and a night.
The handling method is similar to before. Hang up those who make light moves, and hang up those who make heavy moves after destroying their wands.
The Aurors were wiped out, and all the newspapers fell silent after a frenzy, apparently having all received a warning.
A few days later, the Ministry of Magic came up with a new trick. They announced that thanks to the efforts of the new minister, the Dementors that had defected had returned to the Ministry of Magic.
Given that the country is so large and the Aurors have other duties, they cannot all be stationed outside the school, and Dementors will be dispatched to carry out siege missions soon, just like they used Dementors to search for Sirius Black.
All kind-hearted people can rest assured that the Dementors are absolutely loyal. They are only stationed outside the wall as surveillance personnel to prevent Sainz Autumn from escaping from the school, and will not be allowed to enter the school.
It is also implied that the last time the Dementors rioted in the school was because they found a wanted criminal in the school. They were just faithfully performing their duties and did nothing wrong. However, Dumbledore, the then headmaster, was furious about this, which was an exaggeration and completely unnecessary.
The Ministry of Magic showed stronger execution this time than last time. Just two days after the news that Dementors returned to the leadership of the Ministry was released, more than 200 Dementors were sent to Hogwarts.
Everyone at Hogwarts, professors and students, became nervous. No matter how good the Ministry of Magic said, people only believed their own personal feelings.
They didn't know whether the Dementors surrounding the school would make Saien Autumn uncomfortable, but it was certain that it would make them unhappy.
It has been less than a week since school started, and the weather in early September seems to have suddenly entered November, with the sky becoming gloomy, wet and cold.
Snape angrily found Sainz, his gloomy face seemed to be dripping with ink, and said sarcastically, "Autumn, more than twenty Aurors are like unweaned children in your hands. You are so powerful, why do you stay here and let innocent people be your shields?"
"A shield?" Sainz sneered. "I think you misunderstood. I don't mean to use anyone as a shield. You can even announce a suspension of classes and let the students go home directly."
"What on earth are you doing?" Snape's voice was filled with suppressed anger. "Is there anything here that you want?"
Sainz smiled mysteriously and pointed at Snape's wrist, "Oh? Is this really what you want to know?"
Snape's face changed drastically, and the hand holding the wand trembled.
"This is the third time I've said something like this, and it's the last time," Sainz said calmly and coldly. "I don't care what some people are planning. I only look at his final choice and behavior."
After a slight pause, he continued: "Everyone has to make a choice, especially at the end.
And a choice may very likely determine a person’s fate…”
