Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

The two of them stayed like this for half an hour, but they still didn't see Chiara come out of the forbidden forest.

"Stephen, should we go in and take a look." Rowan asked quietly.

"No, Rowan. Let's go back directly. If we stay here, we won't be able to go back to the common room later." Stephen rejected Rowan's suggestion. "There is no need to risk our lives. We don't know what will happen in the Forbidden Forest." Something."

Rowan nodded and quietly left the hiding place with Stephen. Not far from them, Chiara, who was hiding in the dark, observed the two leaving and reached out to touch the wolf beside her. She was about to return to the school hospital.

"Miss Loboska, I think you need to explain to me where you were during the time just now." Chiara was stopped by Madam Pomfrey as soon as she entered the campus hospital. "I think it is necessary for me to investigate. What’s going on with my patients.”

Chiara did not expect that Madam Pomfrey would discover her departure, and she was speechless.

"Is it that?" Madam Pomfrey thought of something, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

"Yes, Mrs. Pomred." Chiara whispered, as if she had done something shameful.

"That's a normal phenomenon, but I think you'd better pay more attention." Mrs. Pomred pulled Chiara into her room, and after a while Chiara came out of the room. She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was not questioned all the time.

"Rowan, what do you think about this?" Stephen and the others had returned to the common room, sitting in the corner and communicating quietly.

"I think Chiara is really weird, I think we should suggest Penny"

"No, no." Stephen interrupted what Rowan was about to say, "First, we don't have enough reasons to ask Penny to do what we said; second, just seeing Chiara enter the Forbidden Forest cannot explain What."

"But if it's just the two of us, it's difficult to deal with dangerous situations." Rowan expressed his worries.

"However, even if Penny is dragged into this investigation, it will be difficult to deal with it with the abilities of three first-year wizards." Stephen expressed his opinion, "There is not enough evidence to prove that Chiara has a problem, even if there is , I believe that Principal Dumbledore and professors can also solve these troubles."

"But it may be too late by then. Maybe Chiara is related to the mysterious man" Rowan questioned.

"Don't worry, she can't be related to the mysterious person." Stephen took out his notebook and turned to the page with Chiara's information. "She is a Muggle-born wizard."

"But isn't your brother also a Muggle?"

Stephen was stunned. Rowan was right. Jacob and he were from the same family and were both Muggle-born wizards.

"But why can he join the Death Eaters? Or maybe he is not a Death Eater at all, then who is he working for?" Stephen tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought, "It's very possible for Dumbledore, but he is... Which organization is lurking?"

Stephen felt that the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters might just be the tip of the iceberg of the crisis in the British wizarding world. Then he thought of the note Martin gave him. At first, he thought that r might refer to the Mysterious Man, but now he felt that r might be someone else. Something pointed out.

"Rowan, do you know r?" Stephen ended his thinking and looked at Rowan.

"I saw this letter on the note you burned that day, but I thought about it and thought that no one I knew had the abbreviation R." Rowan did not hide the fact that he was staring at Stephen's movements that day.

"I once had a guess that r refers to the mysterious person, but now it seems that I may have guessed wrong."

"How is it possible that r refers to a mysterious person?" Rowan said with a hint of confusion in his voice.

"His previous name was Tom Marvolo Riddle. After breaking it up and reorganizing it, I was." Stephen paused at Voldemort, "but I now think that Mysterious and R are two people."

"What's the reason and how do you know these things?"

"What the You-Know-Who wants is to rule the wizarding and Muggle worlds, but his main purpose is to restore the dominance of the pure-blood family. And my brother Jacob is the same as me. I think it is impossible for him to be accepted by the You-Know-Who." Stephen did not say where he knew it, because after telling his conjecture, he could no longer use Jacob as an excuse.

"Stephen, although I think what you said sounds reasonable, it is just a conjecture. You must know that your brother Jacob is called the mysterious man's right-hand man in the Daily Prophet."

"Yeah, we don't have evidence, and we can't prepare based on speculation." Stephen nodded, "But I think we should prepare for the worst case scenario, even if we just keep ourselves out of the incident."

Rowan nodded. He felt that he and Stephen were just freshmen and there was no need to do such dangerous things. But then he thought of Chiara.

"Then how do we guard against Chiara?" Rowan was still worried about this potential danger, "I think we still need to remind Penny."

"I will remind Penny when I see her tomorrow." Stephen responded to the matter. "As long as she is still in Hogwarts, Chiara cannot mess around. Professor Dumbledore will handle the situation in the school. dangerous."

He remembered what was mentioned in the original book. When the mysterious man first made trouble, Hogwarts did not suffer much impact.

Stephen feels that the school is still very safe, at least for this ten years.

After going to bed, Stephen looked at the sleeping eaglets around him. They all rushed back to school at night, and took out their pocket watches to observe.

Stephen still doesn't know what this pocket watch represents. According to his observation, it is a very ordinary pocket watch.

Jacob once said that it should not be used casually, but he still does not know how to use it.

"If the pocket watch is related to the cursed treasury and represents a gift from the God of Death, then could it represent time?"

Stephen thought of a possible time converter, "But this pocket watch is different from the time converter. You cannot move the hands at will. If it represents time, how should it be used?"

Stephen got up from the bed, took out Jacob's notebook from his robe, and turned to the page he wanted to turn to. The beginning of it read: The impact of spell casting time on magic power loss.

This was the only record in the notebook that discussed time. Stephen looked through it, but found that there was nothing he wanted to find. It seemed that Jacob had not recorded relevant clues here.

Stephen sighed, stuffed the notebook back, and put the pocket watch away. He lay down again and began to collect his thoughts.

"It seems that I have to go to the library to look for clues, but what should I do if I'm in the district?" Thinking about it, Stephen fell asleep.

However, even in his sleep, there were various ideas and clues about it. The cursed treasure house was like an indelible impression, always lingering in Stephen's mind.
