I Was Spotted By Grindelwald and Went To Hogwarts

,!

"According to your instructions, I sent someone to investigate secretly——"

At the desk, Remus Lupine looked a little tired. His suit was a little wrinkled, and he didn't have time to shave his beard.

"The addresses of those missing children have not changed, but their original families have basically suffered huge changes -" Lu Ping sighed, "Almost everyone who still lives in the same place has been cast a forgetting spell. , they and their friends and relatives have forgotten the existence of the child. What's more, some families have complicated interpersonal relationships and too many people need to be cast with the Forgetting Curse. They... they have been cast with the Soul Imperius Curse..."

After hearing Lupine's report, Sean's frown deepened. It was almost as he expected. With so many children suddenly disappearing, if parents had called the police or carried out other activities, he should have received some relevant news. That's right. But if it hadn't been for that night's trip to the cabin, Sean would have been kept in the dark until now.

The returnees cast magic on the parents of those children...

However, what puzzled Sean was that Lu Ping's report did not mention a situation similar to the Luo Yinde couple. It seemed that only that poor couple was affected by the magic of [Laziness].

Is Luo Yinde's child special, or is it just an attempt by the returnee?

Sean is more inclined to the former. He suspects that the boy named Lonte Royde may have something special. For example, there is a certain trait in his body that meets the requirements of the "Guilty Container".

However, the specific situation needs to wait until they rescue those poor children before checking.

After thinking for a while, Sean said: "Withdraw all our people, we can't alert the snake, and everyone who is withdrawn must be carefully checked to prevent polyjuice, soul-stealing curses, weaving memories and other methods. The chance of discovery is low, but you still have to be careful.”

Lu Ping nodded: "Don't worry, I have already told you."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Remus."

After chatting with Lupine for a while, Sean returned to Hogwarts. After walking out of the Room of Requirement, he walked towards the auditorium.

The only chance to meet the Durmstrang students was during the daily meal time. Ever since he beat up Reinhard Knott that day, all the Durmstrang students had avoided him.

Sean originally planned to find an opportunity to test Leon Schneider again, but the other party didn't give him a chance at all. The guy never showed up in Hogwarts Castle except for eating.

Arriving at the auditorium and waving to Daisy and Hermione at the Ravenclaw table, Sean habitually looked at the long table where Durmstrang students ate.

Then, Sen Leng's eyes were cast over without concealment, it was Reinhard Knott.

The corner of Sean's mouth raised a slight arc. This guy has been discharged from the hospital...

He waved friendly to the other party with a warm smile on his face, as if he was saying hello to an old friend.

The hatred and coldness in Reinhard Nott's eyes were undisguised, and he actually showed Sean his usual gesture again, wiping his right hand on his neck.

It's interesting, remember to eat or not... Sean smiled nonchalantly, this guy's stubbornness was beyond his expectation.

However, he is not that interested in Reinhard Nott now. In that test, the other party did not seem to have any unconventional power, whether it was Obscurus or [Guilty].

Sean's focus now has turned to Leon Schneider, who is sitting next to Reinhard Knott.

He ignored the other party and walked directly towards Daisy and Hermione.

"It seems that Wallop doesn't take you seriously at all." Leon Schneider chuckled.

Reinhard Knott forked a medium-rare steak, myoglobin dripping onto the plate and slowly smearing.

He tore into the steak nonchalantly and even licked his fingers.

"He will regret it..." Reinhard Nott glanced at the latter, "But isn't your plan too obvious? That kid is not an idiot. When everything goes too logically, he will definitely Be suspicious and then find the flaws.”

Leon Schneider shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Just do it. My promise to you is that as long as you complete this task, you can join us, no matter what the final result is - As a classmate, I fought for the best rights for you."

Reinhard just sneered and said nothing.

Best benefit?

If he continues according to the other party's plan, no matter what the final result is, he will definitely face Sean Wallop during the period. And according to that kid's character, I'm afraid it won't be solved by lying in the infirmary for a month...

However, as long as I don't die, everything is acceptable...

On the long Ravenclaw table, after Sean sat down, Hermione came over and whispered: "That guy Nott sat down with Leon Schneider after he came back. It seems that he has been discussing something."

Sean didn't look there, just curled his lips: "What's the plan to deal with me..."

"I don't know why, I always have a bad feeling..." Hermione hesitated for a while and finally expressed her feelings.

Sean did not hide the fact that he sneaked into Durmstrang's ship that day. Hermione and others knew his thoughts and plans. Now that the other party raised this question, Sean also asked: "Why do you say that? ?”

Hermione looked distressed: "It's just because I can't analyze the specific reason that I'm distressed... Logically speaking, they didn't find out that you already know their secrets, and the arrangements they are making now are also to deal with you going." I found out the secrets of the big ship, but I always have a bad feeling... what they want is actually something else that we haven't noticed..."

"What we didn't notice..." Sean chewed the food in his mouth unconsciously and then fell into deep thought.

He wasn't arrogant enough to think that his plan was flawless, and Hermione's sixth sense might be able to remind him to notice things he hadn't noticed before.

Normally, the returnees don't know that their secret has been learned by Sean. What they want to prevent is Sean sneaking into the ship... At that time, Strong Hartman, whom he controlled, has been wandering on the deck. He hasn't been caught for a long time, which means that the other party is using this to set up a trap. This is something Sean can guess.

The other party should have laid the trap for himself, the [arrogant] host. Considering the other party's research on the magic of guilt, Sean has ample reason to suspect that the other party may have ideas about the [arrogance] in his body.

It is unrealistic to directly deprive [Arrogance], but maybe the other party has some way to extract part of the magic power derived from [Arrogance]...

Sean glanced at Hermione. The girl's face still showed distress and confusion, and she kept thinking about what important information she had missed.

You should find an opportunity to reveal a little about yourself to them... Sean thought.

Grindelwald had hinted that day that he could tell his close friends about his guilt through subtle hints, but Sean had always been hesitant.

He couldn't figure out the limit of this hint. If there were too few hints, Hermione and the others would only hear in confusion. If there were too many hints, Hermione and the others would also be involved in the prophecy, which would not only increase the risk of Later, Sean's difficulty in dealing with [Arrogance] will also put Hermione and others in danger.

After all, guilt, an existence born from the will of the world, cannot be escaped once it is involved.

Now, even Professor McGonagall and others only know about the prophecy and the situation of the returnees. They don't know what role Sean plays in the prophecy.

Dumbledore, Grindelwald, Stephanie and himself, these are the four people who currently know everything on the friendly side. As for the returnees, Sean has always acquiesced that everyone on the other side knows.

The number of returnees has never been clear enough, but Sean estimates that there must be at least dozens of people. The strange thing is that even though so many people know the prophecy, the awakening speed of [Pride] in Sean's body has not accelerated.

Either the other party has known about it for a long time, and Guilty's current awakening progress occurred under circumstances known to the returnee, or the other party is special, and the returnee's half-human, half-ghost state will not cause additional consequences when participating in the prophecy. Influence.

There is no explanation for the former, and it is unlikely. After all, the returnees have not appeared in this world for too long. If it is the latter, it would be interesting.

Sean suddenly had the urge to enter the trance and take a look.

It’s not about entering the empty island where one’s own [arrogance] exists, but about entering through the entrance and exit between the trance and the real world.

He had never forgotten that when he was in the lower grade, Dumbledore once mentioned that the key to the Twilight Zone stored in the Ministry of Magic had been stolen.

In other words, the entrance to the trance and fantasy world is currently open.

However, he doesn't know where the entrance is - he can't just fake his death and enter the blurred environment in a strange way like Harry in the original book. That's not realistic.

After coming back to his senses, Sean comforted Hermione: "Don't worry, the other party has been hiding in the dark. Now that I am ready to deal with them, I will not take it lightly."

Hermione glanced at him worriedly, and finally just told him to be more careful.

After dinner, they walked towards the Ravenclaw common room. Halfway there, the shadow bug in Sean's arms suddenly squirmed.

Malfoy sent himself a message?

Sean said to Hermione, then quietly walked around the crowd and walked towards the place where he usually communicated with Malfoy.

Arriving at the empty classroom, Malfoy was already waiting inside.

"What's wrong, Draco, what's going on?"

"There's a situation there with Nott—" Malfoy said straight to the point.

"Reinhard Nott? Oh, no, Theodore Nott?" Sean was stunned for a moment before reacting.

Unexpectedly, Malfoy frowned and said, "It has something to do with both of them."

"Is it all related?" Sean suddenly became interested.

Although both of them have the same surname: Knott, according to previous information, Reinhard Knott is not related to the British Knott family, they just have the same surname.

"I have always been in contact with Theodore Nott, but that guy is indifferent and keeps to himself in everything he does -" Speaking of this, Master Malfoy was a little dissatisfied, and his attitude was already very low. But Theodore Nott's mouth is simply harder than the stone wall of Hogwarts Castle, and so far nothing has come out of it.

This made Malfoy, who accepted Sean's mission, feel a little embarrassed. However, his constant focus still allowed him to discover the strange situation tonight.

"Theodore Nott and Reinhard Nott obviously don't know each other, and they are not related by blood, but I just discovered something. They are communicating secretly."

"Contacting secretly?" Sean blinked. Did the two people contact each other secretly?

Malfoy nodded: "They did it very secretly. If I hadn't been paying close attention to Theodore, I wouldn't have discovered it."

"When did it start? In the past two days? Or did it start before?" Sean asked.

"It should have started in the past two days, after Reinhard Nott was discharged from the hospital-" Malfoy said uncertainly, "If the two of them had been in contact before, there is no way I wouldn't have noticed..."

Sean nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "What's the specific situation?"

"After dinner, Theodore Nott went back to his dormitory alone as usual. I was originally going to follow him and invite him to join the Pure Blood Club, but before I could follow him, I lost sight of him. I was a little strange. , hiding in the dark. After a while, Theodore Nott suddenly appeared again from nowhere. After he left, Reinhard Nott also appeared from where he just appeared. And I saw what the guy was holding, which was the emblem of the Nott family."

"Clan emblem..." Sean narrowed his eyes. This was something he didn't expect.

Could it be said that Reinhard Knott is really related to the Knott family in England? He is a certain bloodline left behind by the other party, and now he wants to recognize his ancestor and return to his family?

A little strange...

"Sean, what should we do?" Malfoy asked.

Sean thought for a while and then said: "You can continue as usual. I will look for an opportunity to 'meet' Theodore Nott."

Malfoy looked a little unwilling, as if he was embarrassed to let Sean take action himself, but he finally followed Sean's plan.

Separating from each other, Sean took out the Marauder's Map and looked at it.

After all, the map had limitations. After students from the other three schools poured into Hogwarts Castle, only the students and staff of Hogwarts were displayed on the Marauder's Map, and no personnel from the other three schools were displayed. Even some ghosts will be incompletely displayed.

Now, Sean basically only uses it to see if Dumbledore is in the Headmaster's office.

Opening the map, the footprints belonging to Theodore Nott were in the corner of the Slytherin common room. The footprints were motionless, as if the other party was resting.

"Tsk, it feels a bit like a trap..." Sean touched his chin.
