From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

"The culprit who destroyed the magic node is Professor Luo Lei!" Xiwen said.

His words echoed in the corridor on the basement floor, shocking all the professors.

"Little Xiwen, don't you dare say such nonsense." Professor Kettleburn, who was on crutches, quickly winked at Xiwen and signaled him to apologize to the principal. "Principal, little Xiwen should be doing it for the good of the school.

So he gave his own speculation. He did not slander the professor casually."

"Professor, I can confirm that the person who destroyed the magic node was Professor Luo Lei." Xiven didn't pay attention to the ugly expression of Principal Dippet, and just shook his head at Professor Kettleburn and said. "Do you remember that the two of us were banned?

The two dark wizards we met on the day of the attack in the forest?"

"I still have impressions, what's wrong?" Professor Kettleburn nodded blankly and asked.

"The eyes of the man whose whole body was wrapped in bandages were exactly the same as Professor Luo Lei's." Xiwen said. "And although his voice was disguised, if you look carefully, it is still similar to the voice and intonation of a normal lecture.

Place."

Professor Kettleburn also became serious and said solemnly: "It's strange, it seems like this is really the case!"

At this time, Principal Dippet said: "But these are just your speculations. It is impossible for us to question a school professor out of thin air without any evidence!"

"So it's okay to imprison a ghost without evidence?"

Suddenly there was a voice, and then the ghosts Xiwen and Helena flew over hand in hand.

"Mr. Strange, I think you are not allowed to leave the Ghost Hall." Principal Dippet's face darkened and he said. "You have blatantly violated our agreement, which may lead to unnecessary suspicion."

"Do you also know that this is just suspicion?" Ghost Xiwen stared at Principal Dippet sharply and said coldly. "Because of special circumstances, a ghost can be detained just by suspicion, but in more urgent cases, it cannot be interrogated.

A professor?”

"Mr. Strange, this cannot be confused." Principal Dippet said. "Professor Lorre has worked at Hogwarts for many years. We have enough trust in him, but you happened to come during this special period.

When we get to Hogwarts, we have no choice but to take precautions against this."

"Besides, this happened as soon as you left the dungeon. I have to suspect that the destruction of the second magic node was related to you."

Xiwen laughed in anger and was about to argue a few more words when Helena next to him spoke coldly.

"I stayed with Stephen throughout the ghost dinner tonight, and I can prove that he did not do anything detrimental to the castle!" She stared into Principal Dippet's eyes and said. "Or, you will think that we are sabotaging

Where are the Magic Node’s accomplices?”

"Ms. Grey, I didn't mean that." Principal Dippet already knew that Helena was the daughter of Ravenclaw, so naturally he would not rashly doubt her, so he bowed slightly and apologized.

Helena shook her head and said with some disappointment: "If the next magic node is destroyed again, then the castle's magic system will be paralyzed. I have already said it, you can figure out the rest by yourselves."

Hearing Helena's words, everyone present felt nervous. This means that if the person who really destroyed the magic node is not found, the operation of the entire castle will be greatly affected.

The little wizard Xiwen spoke at this time, and he said rudely: "Mr. Principal, in this emergency, are you still unwilling to believe my words?"

Principal Dippet gritted his teeth, and finally shook his head with difficulty and said: "I'm sorry, Rosier. Although we cannot bear the risk of the castle's magic system being paralyzed, we also cannot bear the risk of the professors losing their trust in Hogwarts.

.”

"If Professor Lorre is interrogated according to your idea, it would be fine if he is really the one who caused the damage. But if he is not, then the credibility accumulated by Hogwarts in the past thousand years will suffer heavy losses, and the outside world will also think that Hogwarts is the one who caused the damage.

If Watts lacks trust in his employees, then we may be faced with the dilemma of never being able to recruit new professors in the future."

President Dippet's expression was serious, and other professors around him seemed to be moved by his words. If he really interrogated Professor Lorey at this time, it would probably cause public outrage among the faculty and staff.

Xiwen stared at the principal's eyes for a long time, and finally laughed out loud.

"That makes sense." He tilted his lips and left here without looking back.

Seeing Xiwen leaving, the old principal breathed a sigh of relief and began to assign tasks to each professor. He warned the professors to catch the real murderer lurking in the castle before the next node was destroyed!

At the same time, Professor Lorre was not completely unsuspected. He was placed under strict surveillance by two house elves.

Before Principal Dippet could reveal his arrangements, Ghost Sivan stopped Dumbledore: "Professor Dumbledore, please send me back to the dungeon."

Dumbledore came over, looked at him in surprise, and said, "I thought Mr. Strange would refuse to return to the dungeon?"

Xiwen chuckled lightly and said: "This may be the last night in that dungeon, so you have to cherish it!"

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiwen smiled and said nothing.

…

In the entrance courtyard, a crescent moon hung in the night sky, casting bright moonlight and reflecting the figures on the ground.

Xiwen stood alone in the center of the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, waiting for someone.

Slightly heavy footsteps sounded from the direction of the auditorium, and a bloated figure appeared in the light of the torch.

"Thank you very much for coming over, Professor Slughorn." Sivan smiled at him.

"Xiwen, why did you signal me to come to you?" Professor Slughorn's expression was a little confused. He always felt that Xiven had not completely given up his plan against Professor Luo Lei.

"Professor, I need a bottle of truth serum." Xiwen said calmly.

"What?" Professor Slughorn was shocked and quickly refused. "This is not possible. Veritaserum is a potion strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic and is extremely dangerous!"

Xiwen had long expected that Professor Dao would refuse, so he came up with the rhetoric he had prepared long ago and said: "Professor, from now on, the Rozier family will provide you with a 50% discount on various properties. In addition, I will accept Faguo's offer in the future.

The branches of the family property and the industry of the country also provide you with the same benefits."

Professor Slughorn swallowed, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Why is this so embarrassing?"

He said he was embarrassed, but he acted extremely quickly. He took out a box that seemed to have a traceless stretching spell cast on it from his pocket, and took out a bottle of magic potion from it and placed it on the ground.

"Hey, I seem to have a bottle of potion that I can't find. I have to go look for it." He said pretending to be confused, while walking towards the stairs.

Xiwen showed a knowing smile and said, "Don't worry, Professor, I just picked up this bottle of truth serum by chance."

Professor Slughorn smiled and nodded, and then added seriously: "Remember, three drops of Veritaserum is enough. Overuse can be life-threatening!"
