Although he knew the key to completing the test, Lu Ke was not ready to go to the principal's office now.

After all, it was dinner time, and after dinner, it was time when students were not allowed to leave the common room.

Lu Ke was sitting in the hall, with only a few students left around him.

Almost all the students went home, and except for Lu Ke, the only ones who stayed were those who had something to do at home.

Together they are only four or five people.

Lu Ke sat alone at the long table, finished his dinner, and then took out his textbook.

Although it was winter vacation, Lu Ke had not forgotten the problems left by Snape and Professor Sputraw. He had made almost no progress on these two problems so far.

There is also Nico Flamel's alchemy class, which is really difficult for Lu Ke.

Of course, Nico Flamel never left any homework, and he didn't even have textbooks. Lu Ke had to borrow textbooks from the library and start from scratch.

Lu Ke got up very early the next day.

After breakfast, sitting in the hall, Lu Ke took out the Ravenclaw map.

He really missed the Marauder's Map now. If it were there, he would know if Dumbledore had gotten up.

But the Ravenclaw map controls the castle and cannot know where the people in the castle are.

That is probably something that can only be done after passing the final test.

It wasn't until the morning that Lu Ke went to the front of the principal's office.

The monster stone sculpture guarding the gate did not take the initiative to get out of the way this time.

Lu Ke noticed something strange.

He tried all the possible passwords he knew, but the principal's office still didn't open.

In the end, Lu Ke left helplessly.

It seems that Dumbledore is also on winter vacation.

This weekend, when Lu Ke and Snape went to find Harry together, he mentioned this matter to Snape.

But Snape shook his head: "Dumbledore didn't go to winter vacation."

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment.

Snape shook his head and said nothing more.

The two arrived at Privet Drive together. The Dursleys were not surprised, and Harry rushed out happily.

Snape took them to his home.

Now this is a nice place. Even in Lu Ke's opinion, the level of comfort is second only to the common room in Hogwarts.

Snape looked at Harry and Luke for a long time.

At some point, Snape suddenly said: "When you go to Hogwarts, move here, Harry."

At that moment, Lu Ke was even more surprised than Harry.

But he remained silent in front of a surprised Harry.

It wasn't until Harry was sent off at night and the two of them left Privet Drive and returned to the door of Hogwarts that Lu Ke asked the question in his mind.

"In the end what happened?"

Snape shook his head but did not answer.

Then he disapparated and left.

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Hagrid who came to open the door: "What happened to Dumbledore?"

Hagrid shook his head.

Lu Ke instantly understood what Hagrid was hiding.

"A few wizards entered Hogwarts on Tuesday. Who were they, Hagrid?"

Hagrid looked at Lu Ke and shook his head, then sighed: "This is not something you can interfere with, Lu Ke, don't ask."

Numerous doubts instantly arose in Lu Ke's heart.

But he said nothing more and simply returned to the castle.

Now, only one person is left who can give Lu Ke the answer.

On Monday of the next week, Lu Ke went to the alchemy classroom early.

When it was time for class, Nico Flamel walked in.

"Professor, what happened to Dumbledore?"

Nico Flamel was stunned for a moment: "Why do you ask this?"

Lu Ke had noticed the subtle change in Nico Flamel's tone.

"I heard strange things."

Nico Flamel smiled and shook his head: "He just finally figured it out. Well, this is a good thing for the old man. Anyway, you will understand it after school starts."

The ominous premonition in Lu Ke's heart became more obvious.

"Lu Ke, at the moment when the experiment was completed, you were sure that you would never be able to cast a spell for the rest of your life. How did you feel in your heart?"

Lu Ke looked at Nico Flamel. Although he was a little confused, he still replied: "I'm relieved. I finally don't have to waste time holding on to vain hopes."

Nico Flamel nodded: "This is probably how Dumbledore feels now. In short, I think he is happier than before."

Lu Ke shook his head helplessly and said nothing more.

Nico Flamel and Dumbledore have been friends for many years. If he said so, Dumbledore should be fine.

In this way, the winter vacation passed peacefully day by day. Although it was a bit strange why neither William nor Johanna asked Lu Ke anything, there was nothing surprising.

But Lu Ke was surprised to find that Johanna did not come back.

Lu Ke finally determined that something very important had happened.

Hogwarts is still the same as before, the professors have not changed at all, except that Dumbledore has never appeared.

Lu Ke finally decided to find Professor McGonagall.

Of all the professors at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall is the most reliable, and Lu Ke has always believed in this.

When Lu Ke expressed his doubts, Professor McGonagall showed a complicated expression.

Then she hesitated for a long time and finally told the truth.

"Johanna has dropped out of school because..."

"She has a very serious disease. Because it is inherited from her ancestors, no one knows whether it can be cured. She cannot come to school until she is cured, and it will take at least a year to cure."

Lu Ke was stunned.

"I don't know because?"

Professor McGonagall shook her head: "She doesn't want you to know about this. Besides, all the professors have been busy with another thing this winter vacation."

Lu Ke was silent.

"Don't blame Professor Snape, he has other things to do."

Lu Ke nodded.

Then he let out a long sigh: "Can you take me to see Dumbledore?"

Professor McGonagall showed an extremely surprised look on her face: "Lu Ke..."

Lu Ke sighed: "I have something very important to tell him, related to the founder."

Professor McGonagall was speechless with surprise.

She took two steps back and forth, then shook her head: "No, Lu Ke, he doesn't have time to see you yet."

Lu Ke shook his head helplessly: "Then... can you tell him for me? He can come to me at any time. This matter is very urgent."

Professor McGonagall sighed: "I will tell him, but Luke, be prepared."
