HP: The New God from Hogwarts

Chapter 248 You didn’t let him go either

Tao Wu walked down the damp stairs. The further she walked, the more familiar the scenery below seemed to her, as if she had been there before.

But before she could think carefully, she saw an old acquaintance, her former mentor.

Professor Figo.

"Long time no see, my child. You are exactly the same as before."

The white-haired old man was in good spirits. When he saw her, his eyes lit up and he came towards her with open arms.

"You are not much different from before." Tao Wu immediately trotted forward and hugged this old man who she loved the most in the past, "except that the few gray hairs you had originally have turned completely white."

Professor Figo's hug was a little forceful, and his old hands patted her back gently twice.

That was the child he brought back to Hogwarts. He watched her grow from a little wizard who knew nothing to a great wizard who mastered ancient magic and defeated the rebellious Lanlock.

To him, Tao Wu is his child.

Even if they are not blood related.

Figo loosened his arms, gently stroked her cheek with his right hand, and tears filled his old eyes.

"It's great. It's exactly the same as before. When Papi told me that, I didn't believe it..."

At the beginning, upon learning the news of Tao Wu's sudden disappearance, the already elderly Professor Figo fell seriously ill and almost died.

Fortunately, he recovered in the end. He never expected to see the child he had been thinking about again, even if it was a hundred years later.

He always remembered that at that time Tao Wu always liked to say when they parted that as long as they were alive, they would see each other again one day.

So, he tried hard to live.

Lived to see the day we met again.

The anger caused by the witch hunters' sudden attack was largely dissipated by the joy of meeting her old mentor again, but Tao Wu still did not forget the business.

She looked behind Professor Figo, and the faint blue light from the night pearls on the wall illuminated the frightened young faces.

All the students of Hogwarts are here.

Snape and Nicolas Flamel were also there.

"Excuse me from your reminiscence. I think we have more important things to deal with here. Unless, to you, they are just a bunch of useless slugs."

The sarcastic voice arrived as expected, and Snape limped in front of them. In addition to the legs that were burned by Grindelwald's dark magic, there were several bloodstains on his face. There was a hole in the sleeve of his wizard robe, and the edge of the hole was a little darker in color.

"Slugs are not useless. Slugs are needed to make scabies medicine."

A second-year Gryffindor girl retorted in a low voice. Her voice was not loud, but it stood out in the empty and quiet basement.

Snape turned his head sharply and glared at her with sharp eyes.

"Miss Whipster, please don't show off your shallow Potions knowledge in front of your Potions professor!"

The girl shrank back and buried her head in the crook of Ginny's arm beside her, and when Snape turned back again, she stuck out her tongue at the back of his head.

"Is there no other exit here?"

Tao Wu stood on tiptoe and looked around the huge underground cave. The more she looked, the more familiar it seemed.

Snape replied unhappily, "If there is another exit, what are we doing here? Another Potions class?"

"If there are ingredients for brewing, I think it's a good idea. If we can't get out of here, we have to find something to do."

Ron hooked Harry's shoulders and dragged him in front of Snape, but he didn't look at Snape, his eyes were towards Taowu.

"If your spells are as powerful as your mouth, I think we might not have to be stuck here, Mr. Weasley."

Snape looked at the red-haired man who suddenly rushed towards him with an unhappy face.

Tao Wu met Ron's gaze, and she knew that he didn't come here to challenge Snape.

Snape was actually a little angry.

Not to the sharp-tongued Ron.

He is not that naive.

The students had been in this dull and dark cave for half a day. He and the other two old men searched the place thoroughly but could not find any other exit.

The longer it takes, the more dangerous it becomes.

The Ministry of Magic is so small, the mole within the Ministry will definitely find this underground cave.

Speaking of the traitor, Snape lowered his eyelids and looked at Tao Wu: "Have you seen Fudge and the others?"

Tao Wu nodded: "I found Fudge and other people from the Ministry of Magic in the compartment of the courtroom. Selwyn brought me there. He was slightly injured because of it."

Hearing this, Snape frowned and asked sinisterly, "Did he tell you who that person was?"

Tao Wu glanced at Ron who seemed to want to ask her something, pursed her lips, and said:

"Fudge said he saw Percy joining the witch hunters..."

"This is impossible!"

The rebuttal came out subconsciously, and Ron didn't believe what she just said.

"I know that you have a very bad impression of him, including my mother. He is selfish, brainless, fame-seeking, and has a lot of shortcomings. He only thinks about how to gain power. I don't deny these, but I know him. He will never betray the wizards!"

When he said these words, his eyes were firm and without any wavering.

Snape frowned, with an ugly frown across his brow.

"Although this family is not very smart, no one in the Weasley family would do such a thing."

You didn't let him go either, Professor!

Ron was touched by Snape's protection of his family, but he really wanted to use the iron from the Muggle world to iron his brows and his mouth flat as well.

"I trust Ron, but if you meet Percy, you'd better be cautious."

Harry, who had been silent, pushed up his glasses.

"If we can find another exit, we won't have to encounter this." Professor Figo ended the atmosphere of suspicion and looked at Tao Wu. "You used to love picking doors and locking them and running around everywhere. Haven't you been here before?"

"what?"

The suspicious look fell on Tao Wu again.

Harry asked, "How come you are so familiar with Professor Figo? Professor Figo was about to retire when Professor Dumbledore was not yet enrolled."

It’s a bit difficult to answer, so I won’t answer it.

She was just being willful, and Harry wouldn't fight with her anyway.

Looking around the cave, the fog in Tao Wu's mind gradually dissipated. She bypassed Snape, walked through the students, and came to the center of the cave.

She remembered—

When she was collecting secret treasures, she had indeed come here, but she did not come here through the secret passage of the Ministry of Magic.

She looked at the huge stone pillar in front of her.

If you are lucky,

They can indeed leave here smoothly.
