I Have a Big Problem with My Hogwarts

Chapter 34 034. Hogwarts Search!

Professor McGonagall had anticipated this.

Now that Dumbledore is not sitting at Hogwarts, she is basically taking care of the big and small affairs in the school.

On the day Hubert was attacked, in addition to communicating the matter to Dumbledore who was far away in the Soviet Union, she also reported it to the Ministry of Magic.

If it was just an ordinary campus attack, of course it wouldn't do this, but since black magic is involved, it already falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic.

Even if Professor McGonagall did not, Hubert's parents would have reported the matter to the Ministry of Magic.

So, on the third day of the attack, the two Aurors came to Hogwarts.

Their speed of action is actually not slow. Yesterday, they conducted a professional examination and questioning of Hubert at St. Mungo's Hospital.

Although the information they received was very limited, they also preliminarily concluded that the murderer was probably still at Hogwarts.

Because the most important function of the Cruciatus is to interrogate, and why would a dark wizard take such a big risk to interrogate a child?

The biggest possibility is that the murderer was plotting something in Hogwarts that the little wizard who was attacked owned or knew where it was.

Now Hogwarts seems to have not responded on the surface, but in fact it is only loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

Professors and senior prefects patrolled the castle, day and night.

So far, no changes have been found, which proves that the murderer is still dormant. He may have obtained what he wanted, or he may not have obtained it yet, and he was waiting for an opportunity in the dark.

Of course, there is also a very small possibility that he fled Hogwarts on the day of the incident.

"We need to take a look at the scene first," Kingsley demanded of Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall led them to the corner of the corridor leading from the Slytherin lounge to the Great Hall.

This is the only way to the corridor from the Slytherin lounge, so it is no longer what it was at the beginning of the incident.

And even when Hubert was first discovered, there were no traces left.

But the Aurors have their own way.

"Cevich, Pink." Kingsley crouched down where Hubert had fallen before and instructed the assistant behind him.

Savage took a bottle of black powder from his robe and handed it to Kingsley.

Kingsley swayed the powder from the glass bottle around, and the black powder floated in the air. After contacting the air, the color began to lighten rapidly, and finally it was completely transparent and disappeared in the air.

"Red powder is our common method of checking black magic remnants. It can react with the residual magic power of black magic that has been retained for five days. If someone has released black magic in this place, the red powder will change from black to red. If not, then It will be like this," Kingsley explained to Professor McGonagall.

"So what clues do we get from this?" asked Professor McGonagall.

Savage answered her questions.

"This is not the scene where the little wizard was actually attacked. Someone threw him here."

Kingsley stood up: "Come on, it's been a long time since I saw the Hogwarts portraits, let's go say hello to them."

Afterwards, they asked along the corridor, but the portraits all said that no suspicious person appeared on the day of the attack, and Hubert, who was broken, seemed to appear there out of thin air.

"Has the Anti-Apparition Charm in the castle been loosened recently?" the young Auror Cevich asked a silly question after cutting off the clues.

Professor McGonagall shook his head without hesitation and said, "There is no doubt about this, no one can Apparate in the castle."

With nothing new at the scene, Kingsley was already planning to start investigating the attack from a different angle, just as he was about to ask Professor McGonagall to take them to her office.

A little Slytherin wizard who followed them all the way suddenly came over and asked boldly:

"Are you Aurors of the Ministry of Magic?"

Kingsley raised his eyebrows, and he had a hunch that this little wizard would bring him something.

"Yes boy, my name is Kingsley Shacklebolt, and I'm a working Auror at the Ministry of Magic. Do you have anything to say to me?"

Slytherin's little wizard's body trembled a little. I don't know if it was because of nervousness or excitement. He said loudly like an elite who reported the underground party to Taijun.

"Professor Fox! Professor Fox must have done this! He used to be a dark wizard, and he is the only one at Hogwarts who would have a reason to do such a thing!"

Professor McGonagall's face darkened instantly, and she said angrily:

"Reproach the professor! Reproach the professor! Who taught you this! Now! Immediately! Leave me! Also, give me a foot-long review in three days!"

Professor McGonagall's long-standing majesty caused the little wizard to turn around and run away, but what he wanted to say could no longer be taken back.

Professor McGonagall looked at Kingsley with a contemplative face, and said solemnly: "Adrian does have a criminal record, but I think you as an Auror will know better than me, so I believe him, Ah Believe him without thinking, the real murderer will never be him!"

Kingsley waved his hand to comfort Professor McGonagall and said:

"I understand the professor. Of course I know about Fox's past, and I naturally believe that he can't do such a thing. But you can also see that since there are students who are bold enough to sue me in front of you, this It means that his image among the students is already very negative."

Professor McGonagall's face was still not very good-looking.

"Then what do you say?"

Kingsley said calmly: "Take us to Fox's place to see, we will prove his innocence."

Ten minutes later, in Professor Fox's office.

Kingsley sat in his chair and surveyed the decor in his office.

Professor Fox prepared black tea for the three of them and talked to Kingsley like two old friends who had not seen each other in a long time.

"I thought you guys at Hogwarts would be the first to find me."

Kingsley and Professor Fox didn't seem to want to meet for the first time, and the two were not strangers at all.

"Of course I'm sure you're not using your research against your own students. But you're not very well-reviewed at Hogwarts these days."

"Stop gossiping, how do you need me to cooperate with you?" Professor Fox looked into Kingsley's eyes with a very skilled expression.

"Just like ten years ago, old Fox, please give me your wand."

Kingsley didn't avert his gaze either, and the scene in this scene reminded him of that day ten years ago.

Not long after he became an Auror, he was in charge of examining Fox's wand.

The test results at the time were.

That wand, in just three days, released countless Cruciatus and...

Five Life Sutras!

Even if I die, I have to make a rotten cry in the coffin: "Ask for a ticket!!!"
