In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

A student goes missing, which is the first time something has happened in the carriage since the exile.

Moreover, Percy will be entering seventh grade after the summer vacation. He is considered a half-adult wizard. Not to mention that his grades are excellent and he can be said to be the best among the students in his class.

Even if someone sneaked into the carriage and kidnapped him, it was impossible not to make some noise.

The originally planned small welcome dinner was cancelled. After searching the entire carriage to no avail, McGonagall immediately conveyed the news to Dumbledore, who was dealing with other matters in the Order of the Phoenix. Soon Dumbledore came with a pale Weiss. Mr. and Mrs. Rai came to the carriage together.

Apparently, Ron's parents, Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley, were with Dumbledore when they got the news, so as soon as they learned that their son was missing, they followed him Came to the carriage.

In the principal's office, all the professors came here except Hagrid who was driving the car and Filch who was watching over the students in the cafeteria.

Arthur and Molly were restless, and even Molly's eyes were a little red, but at least they remained calm and listened to the professors sort out today's situation.

"Percy was not found on the carriage. He is most likely no longer here."

Mag's voice also obviously became a little urgent, and it was obvious that she actually cared about Percy's safety. It wasn't that she had a preference for Percy, but that she would be so nervous if such a situation happened to any student on the carriage.

Lily's voice was much calmer.

"This morning, I took the last freshman of the year back to the carriage. At that time, Hagrid stopped the carriage once. The fireplace on the carriage is only connected to the Floo network of Grimmauld Place, and there is no way to use Apparition in the carriage. , if there is no other person to assist, he can only leave the carriage at that time."

Arthur took a deep breath, his mind still calm.

"Why did he leave school quietly? When he returned home some time ago, he was obviously very happy about becoming the boys' president when school started, and he kept showing off this to his younger brothers and sisters."

"You forgot, Arthur." Molly's eyes were red, "Before he returned to school from home, he had a big fight with George Fred, saying that they had no respect for him as a brother at all."

"There have been many quarrels between them before." Arthur shook his head and sighed, "I don't think this time is any different from the previous times, and even if there is trouble between the brothers, they should not leave the school, he will go where?"

"Maybe he went home to find us?" Molly guessed with a hopeful tone.

"If this is really the case, then we should see him at home at noon. He will disapparate and want to go home after leaving the carriage. It will take less than a minute."

There was a brief silence in the office. Dumbledore did not participate in the speculation between them, but kept looking at the fireplace thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.

It wasn't until everyone calmed down and looked at him that he turned to Flitwick and asked.

"You said before that you found a ceremonial robe left by Percy in his dormitory?"

Flitwick nodded.

"That was his Christmas gift from the school last Christmas. I found two things in the pocket of his robe."

In the principal's office, all six eyes turned to him. Flitwick took out a small glass bottle and a badge from his pocket and put them on the desk.

That badge was the boy's president badge that Percy just got during the summer vacation, and the small glass bottle contained one-third of a bottle of glittering green powder, which looked a lot like Floo powder.

"Remus and I checked this badge together. There is no trace of any spell on it." Flitwick said, "But neither of us recognized what the powder in the bottle was. At first I thought it was just an ordinary floo. powder, but Remus reminded me and made me realize that this thing is different from the Floo powder, it does not seem to have the function of connecting to the Floo network."

Dumbledore's eyes paused on the chairman's badge for a second, and then looked at the bottle of powder that seemed to be Floo powder.

He picked up the glass bottle, pulled out the cork, put the mouth of the bottle to the tip of his nose and sniffed.

"This is a variant of Floo powder." He said, "Two years ago, the magic company that made Floo powder launched a new product. Put the powder on the fireplace, and you can record an video against the fire. To see this image, you only need to sprinkle the collected powder into the fireplace. However, because the practicality is not high, it is very troublesome to collect the powder again, so most wizards do not have much need to take pictures. The thing was only on the market for less than a year and was no longer produced.”

He put the glass bottle back on the desk. Both Arthur and Molly stared at the small glass bottle.

"What message is this that Percy wants to leave us?"

"During the time this thing was sold, as far as I know, Percy never left the carriage." Dumbledore crossed his hands and looked deeply, "You have never even heard of this thing, so you don't know. Maybe he brought it to school from home, so if he wanted to leave us a message, how did he get it?"

The principal's office suddenly became quiet, and everyone else had obviously followed Dumbledore's words and thought of this.

Molly's face was frighteningly white.

"My, my son was kidnapped!"

Arthur's lips were trembling, but he still grabbed Molly's hand, giving her the reassurance that he was still around, and he said as calmly as he could.

"Whoever left this behind, let's take a look, Dumbledore."

Dumbledore nodded, and he handed the glass bottle to Lupin, who poured the powder inside into the fireplace that had been extinguished in the summer.

The moment the powder fell into the fireplace, green flames rose up. Soon, the flames formed a familiar face and appeared in the fireplace.

This person is none other than Percy who disappeared from the carriage!

Seeing that familiar face, Molly's tears already flowed from her eyes.

Everyone in the principal's office was looking at the thin boy with glasses who was approaching adulthood. His face made of green flames could clearly see that he looked very cold when recording this video.

He looked forward, as if he were looking at all the professors at Hogwarts and his parents.

"I have always believed that outstanding people should get more rights, Professor Dumbledore."
