From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

Chapter 122 Dumbledore’s Army at Hogwarts

"What? You said you destroyed Urxtag Prison?!"

In the bright Hogwarts Great Hall, the Charms Professor of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry asked in surprise.

"Uh, don't be so loud, Professor Hicks." Xiwen looked around guiltily at the little wizards who were eating and said to Professor Hicks. "Actually, it can't be said that it was destroyed. It just cut off the extremely inhumane punishment method in the prison from its roots!"

"Yes, the three of us killed a manticore!" Theseus smiled and patted the magical animal breeding box that Newt put at hand.

Newt was sitting on a long table. The transparent box next to him contained two light orange small magical animals with two crab claws and a scorpion tail. The two manticore cubs no longer looked as ferocious as they did in the prison, but instead looked pitiful.

"To be precise, Strange killed the manticore alone." Newt silently moved Theseus's hand aside and said softly. "The two of us only played a supporting role."

Professor Kettleburn, who had only one arm and half a leg left, stepped on his wooden prosthetic leg and walked over with a clang. He looked curiously at the breeding box next to Newt and asked: " Is this the cub of a manticore? Why doesn’t it look like it!”

"It should be the wizards of the country who experimented and transformed them. They eliminated the most intelligent human head part of the manticore and completely transformed it into a beast bred with human blood!" Newt said gloomily. Professor Kettleburn explains.

"Those people in China are so abominable!" Professor Kettleburn cursed emotionally.

"Yes, I think so too." Newt nodded in agreement.

"..."

Newt and Professor Kettleburn hadn't seen each other for a long time, and with the common topic of manticores, they quickly chatted together.

Theseus tried to use his anger towards the country's Ministry of Magic as an entry point to join the conversation between the two. However, he was completely unable to intervene in the academic conversation between the two magizoologists, so he could only silently turn around and look at Professor Hicks.

"Hey, so you saved a candidate at the International Federation of Wizards' banquet?" Theseus asked without finding anything to say.

"That's right." Professor Hicks nodded. "Grindelwald wanted to murder candidate Visencia Santos and poisoned her cup."

"Is Grindelwald so unconfident that he will be elected president of the Federation based on his strength?" Hearing her words, Xiven frowned and asked in confusion. "His actions of slandering other candidates will only arouse the resentment of voters, right?"

"I don't know what he thinks." Professor Hicks shook his head and said to Sivan and Theseus. "But it's possible that he did more than just assassinate the candidate."

"How to say?" Theseus also frowned and asked.

"Grindelwald deliberately sent Queenie Goldstein to deliver the poisonous wine to Santos, as if to deliberately arouse Jacob's emotions." Professor Hicks glanced at him from a distance and was chatting with the young wizards. Jacob, who was looking up to the sky, whispered to Sivan and Theseus.

"Jacob was too worried about Queenie, and he was quickly angered by Grindelwald and took out the wand without a core at him. Grindelwald secretly cast a spell to create a scene where Jacob wanted to attack His illusion. Thus the poisoning of Santos was also blamed on Jacob."

"I don't know why Dumbledore gave Jacob the wand, or whether he had anticipated this. But the current situation is that, at least those who don't know the truth here, most of them will think that the assassination candidate is Muggle Jacob Bu's plan." Professor Hicks said with a solemn expression.

"Assassinating the candidate, if it succeeds, there will be one less competitor; if it fails, it can be blamed on a Muggle, provoking a confrontation between wizards and Muggles." Theseus shook his head and sighed. "Grindelwald really used a good trick!"

"So now I want to know, is everything in our so-called 'plan' still on track?" Xiwen crossed his arms and thought silently.

At this time, Xiwen's eyes suddenly twitched and he looked at the Slytherin table speechlessly.

……

Hogwarts Great Hall, Slytherin Table.

Abraxas was discussing something with the young wizards Sivan and Mobley.

"How dare they? How could they let a Muggle come to Hogwarts?" Abu looked extremely angry and shouted to Mobley and the young wizard Sivan. "This is a blasphemy to Hogwarts! It is an insult to the wizarding world!"

"I think we need to teach him a lesson, Abu!" Mobley also rolled up his sleeves and said angrily.

The little wizard Xiwen quickly grabbed their hats and pulled the two eager guys back.

"No, no, that Muggle was invited by Dumbledore." Sivan said to the two of them. "You don't want to offend Dumbledore directly, do you?"

Abu and Mobley's expressions were obviously hesitant, but they still looked a little unwilling.

"How could Dumbledore invite a Muggle? He is openly betraying the honor of our wizards!" Abu said through gritted teeth.

Mobley was also very angry. Looking at him, he would find Jacob at any time and cast a curse on him.

"Don't be impulsive, Ravenclaw is waiting to surpass our academy points!" Xiwen stared at the two of them and said seriously. "If you maliciously curse the guests of Gryffindor Dean, I can't guarantee what kind of punishment you will be punished!"

"Okay!" Mobley sat back in his seat and shrugged helplessly. "For Dumbledore and Sivan's sake."

At this time, Abu saw some candies and snacks on the table and suddenly had an idea.

"Xiwen, there shouldn't be any problem if we go give that Muggle some gifts, right?" Abu asked.

"Probably, no..." Xiwen was stunned for a moment, looked at Abu, and asked unclearly. "Are you so kind?"

Abu took a pack of cockroach piles from the snacks on the table and laughed happily.

Xiwen: "...I really belong to you."

……

Dumbledore arrived in the Great Hall just as lunch was being served.

"I'm glad to see that everyone arrived at Hogwarts safe and sound, with no missing arms or legs." Dumbledore greeted everyone playfully.

"Dumbledore, I want to know if our 'plan' has taken effect." Theseus couldn't wait to ask after seeing Dumbledore. “It’s like we’re back to square one again.”

"Theseus, our situation is actually worse than it was initially." Dumbledore shook his head slightly, but laughed softly. "Now that Grindelwald has obtained the right to vote, it can be said that the situation is very unfavorable to us."

"Then what should we do next?" Xiwen asked with a frown.

Dumbledore smiled slightly and said nothing. He just motioned to the members of Dumbledore's Army to follow him, and then walked straight to the front of the auditorium.

"Minerva, can you help me evacuate the little wizards?" Dumbledore said to a young witch sitting in the professor's chair. "We have something important to discuss."
