The students watching the statue in front of the principal's office were soon driven back to the auditorium by Mr. Pringer.

In addition, in the auditorium, Mr. Pringer also conveyed Principal Rozier's orders to allow all students to gather in the auditorium.

So Matthew didn't "wait" for long, and saw a large group of senior students from various academies, who came one after another... The auditorium was suddenly filled with people, and each of their faces was full of confusion.

All the students in the school are here.

"President Rozier and professors, as well as the Aurors, need to conduct a comprehensive search of the entire castle," Mr. Pringer told everyone, "In order to ensure everyone's safety, no one is allowed to leave the auditorium before the search is over... Chiefs, please keep the entrance of the auditorium; if any special situation occurs, send a ghost to deliver the message."

"Woom!" Mr. Tang seemed to be echoing and barking loudly.

After saying that, Mr. Pringer hurriedly left the auditorium with Mr. Tang, and it seemed that he had joined the search.

With Mr. Pringer's departure, the entire auditorium exploded instantly.

Noisy sounds come one after another.

The presidents of the male and female student union and several senior leaders tried their best to maintain order, but such efforts seemed to be futile.

...

Everyone started to discuss it very eagerly.

Someone sneaked into Hogwarts and tried to break into the principal's office, causing damage to the statue at the door of the principal's office... This is a big deal at any time.

Everyone was chattering and arguing.

The students who had been to the principal's office had begun to tell others what had happened at that time.

"That must be a very powerful extreme magic!" Someone described it, "The statue of the hawk-headed beast in front of Principal Grindelwald's office has been said to have a history of hundreds of years. Several principals have cast magic on it so that it can protect the principal's office smoothly... As you have seen, the statue was made like that..."

"It must have been done by a very powerful black wizard!" someone speculated.

"It must be the three fugitives from Azkaban. Have you forgotten that they have been at large for several months..." Another said, "There will be no worse wizards in Britain than them."

In the auditorium, everyone was discussing these things very enthusiastically—

At the same time, a panic began to spread.

Every little wizard has heard of the infamous reputation of Azkaban (whether he was a Muggle or a pure-blooded wizard). The three criminals who escaped from Azkaban have become popular topics since their successful escape from prison several months ago.

But discussion is about discussion, when you truly realize that those criminals who "do evilly" appear around you, anyone will feel a little frightened. In this way, everyone has to start to worry about their own safety.

...

At Slytherin's long table, the second-year students were also discussing.

However, they almost agreed with one thing, that is, the person (or those people) who tried to break into the principal's office must have something to do with those fugitives in Azkaban.

After all, from Auror to Dementors, Hogwarts has been so tightly protected in the past month that people with a little brain will guess something.

And a normal wizard would probably not do anything like breaking into Hogwarts and trying to break into the principal's office.

After all, Hogwarts is the most tight and safest place in the world to let go.

"You think those fugitives will still be in Hogwarts?" Theodore Nott asked in fear.

"At least Professor Rozier thinks they are still there..." said Draco Malfoy.

Around them, several freshmen in the first grade were asking each other the same topic: "How did they break into Hogwarts?"

"Maybe it was flying in with a broom," Malfoy guessed.

"It may also be through phantom movement, or Floornet..." Nott had this view.

"Maybe they were secretly plagued by themselves and sneaked in..." Crab said, holding his fat chin with his hands.

Obviously, their statements are all wrong.

Hogwarts is already strong enough just for its own protection.

The castle has all kinds of magic. In addition to the principal, it is absolutely forbidden to move and display the phantom here. Floornet or door keys will also be subject to extremely strict restrictions.

Moreover, at the entrance of the castle and in the sky outside, dementors who are loyal to the Ministry of Magic are always responsible for patrol and guarding... It is completely impossible to get in through ordinary methods.

...

However, if according to Horas Slughorn, the three Azkaban fugitives, namely James Porter, Sirius Black and Peter Pediru...

Then it is not difficult for Matthew to guess how they sneak into campus.

These three people are very familiar with Hogwarts' secret passages, and they are all Animagus themselves... After turning themselves into animals through Agmagus magic, they can simplify their consciousness, thereby achieving the effect of dementors... After all, Dementors can only affect the consciousness of wizards or Muggles.

But... after all, this passage was said by Slughorn, and Matthew couldn't believe it all now.

Matthew only hopes that what Slughorn said at the time was true…

Because if those who get into Hogwarts really only have pointed forks, bigfoots and bug tails, there is no need to worry about anything.

The people of the Order of the Phoenix must have been Gellert Grindelwald; the struggle between them will not affect the ordinary Hogwarts students.

...

Every hour later, a teacher will appear in the auditorium to see if everyone is safe.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, everyone was already very impatient. Many students even started to lie on the table and sleep...

Vice President Professor Vita Rozier finally appeared in front of everyone again.

"The castle is fine, everything is normal..." she said, "Everyone can go back to the public lounge in an orderly manner and have a rest."

We were finally able to leave the auditorium, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Matthew looked up at the sky, and the magical ceiling was dotted with countless stars, just like the ceiling outside.
