I Have a Big Problem with My Hogwarts

"sure."

Professor Fox drew his wand and gave it to Kingsley.

Kingsley sighed with emotion as he held the wand that had already looked rather old.

"I still remember its material, willow wood, phoenix tail feathers, 11 inches long. When I held it to cast the Flashback Charm, I was completely stunned."

"That's not a glorious history." Professor Fox said calmly.

Kingsley nodded, he could see that Fox didn't want to talk much about the past, so he picked up his wand and docked Professor Fox's wand before, and used the Flashback Charm.

"Incisor Swelling Charm, Bat Essence Charm, Stinging Charm, Sticky Foot Charm, Hard Tongue Charm, Eye-Blinding Charm... Have you used many different poisonous spells many times recently?"

The results of the inspection left Kingsley very puzzled, and these spells should be rarely used by adult wizards.

"Experimental needs." Professor Fox answered very simply.

Kingsley has also heard about his experimental research, but although it is a bit borderline, it is barely within the legal range, so he can't say anything more.

Professor Fox shrugged: "Since there is no problem, can you give it back to me?"

Kingsley handed the wand back to him with no regret or disappointment on his face, but a sigh of relief.

Then he turned to Professor McGonagall.

"Professor McGonagall, can you help me make an appointment with the students who arrived at the scene for the first time? I have some questions to ask them."

Afterwards, they left Professor Fox's office and came to Professor McGonagall's vice-chancellor's office.

Lynn and Cedric were quickly called here, along with the Slytherin girl who was the first to see Hubert.

On the way, Cedric secretly told Lynn what had happened in the auditorium.

"Professor McGonagall is said to be very angry with Professor Fox, who was reported on the spot to the two Aurors from the Ministry of Magic."

Lynn nodded: "I know, when I came over, I watched a group of people surrounding him in the lounge and was listening to him tell about his glorious achievements."

"Then do you think the murderer is Professor Fox?" Cedric couldn't help asking.

Lynn never took a stance on the matter while practicing the spell with him.

"I never jump to conclusions about a thing," Lynn said softly, "especially when most people are prejudiced."

Cedric scratched his forehead, as if thinking about his words.

In the vice-principal's office, Kingsley's main question was not the two of them, but the Slytherin girl.

"When you saw the boy, did you notice something special around him?"

The girl was obviously nervous, she stammered looking into Kingsley's eyes.

"Sir, I, I don't quite understand what special phenomenon you are referring to?"

Kingsley was silent for a few seconds, then spoke.

"Just... do you have a feeling that an invisible person is staring at you beside Hubert?"

Hearing his words, the girl shivered suddenly, and she became even more nervous.

"I, I don't know sir, when, I was so scared, I didn't notice anything."

Kingsley looked a little disappointed, this girl was too timid, he couldn't ask anything at all.

"What about you?" He turned his gaze to Lynn and the others, "Did you notice anything suspicious or anyone at the time?"

Lynn and Cedric shook their heads and said no.

Just when Kingsley was disappointed, Cedric suddenly remembered something.

"When Lynn and I were practicing magic spells by the Black Lake, we saw a little wizard returning to the castle from the outside looking very embarrassed."

In an instant, Kingsley regained his spirits, he asked hastily.

"At what time? In that direction did he come back? What's his name?"

"Around 6 o'clock in the morning, he walked along the Black Lake, in the direction of the beating willow that the professor usually kept us away from. His name... I don't know him, and I don't know what his name is."

At the same time, with Cedric's reminder, Lynn also recalled this matter.

"His name is Ian Campbell, a first-year Ravenclaw."

Kingsley looks so excited now!

He suddenly stood up from the chair, as if he was going to find the little wizard named Ian himself.

However, after hearing the name, Professor McGonagall's expression changed again and again.

"We will go to him now. I have a hunch that even if this little wizard is not the murderer, the murderer must have something to do with him..."

"Sit down! Kingsley!"

Just as Kingsley was gearing up, Professor McGonagall's scream startled everyone present.

Both the Aurors and the little wizards stared at the excited Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall tried to calm down his emotions and ordered Lynn and the others:

"You can leave now, but be careful! Don't tell anyone what you saw Campbell the other day, remember it's anyone!"

Although Lynn and Cedric were a little unclear, they also knew that the current situation was not for them to participate in. The two nodded quickly, and then quickly left the vice-principal's office.

Kingsley also found that things were not easy, he did it again and went back to his chair, frowning.

"Is there a problem with that student? Professor."

Professor McGonagall did not speak, her emotions seemed to have gradually recovered, and she said to Cevich who was standing aside:

"Would you please avoid it? I want to talk to Shackle about something more personal."

Cevich nodded hurriedly, and then left.

Only Professor Kingsley and McGonagall remained in the office.

Professor McGonagall stared closely at Kingsley.

"Shaker, I can assure you that the kid has nothing to do with this attack, you can't continue investigating him!"

Kingsley looked puzzled: "Can you tell me why?"

Professor McGonagall took a deep breath and was silent for a while before speaking.

"You are our man Shaker, but I can't tell you this very clearly without Albus's permission. Do you remember Remus?"

...

The Aurors were ultimately unsuccessful.

After they left, Professor McGonagall announced in the auditorium that the Aurors had proved Professor Fox's innocence and that the black magic attack was not his.

Although some young wizards have identified Professor Fox as a dark wizard, most of the students are still quite convinced by Professor McGonagall's words.

This attack was a bit of a letdown, and Hogwarts gradually loosened its guard over time.

For the next two months, until after Halloween, Hogwarts remained calm.

It's not just that the murderer isn't committing murder, but most importantly, before Halloween, Professor Dumbledore is back at Hogwarts.
