Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

Stephen and his party said goodbye to each other after entering the campus. Stephen, Rowan, and Martin returned to the Ravenclaw common room. For them, the real meeting was just beginning.

"Stephen, why didn't you tell all these things when you were at Hagrid's place?" Rowan asked not long after the three of them sat down, "Don't you have some concerns about Petunia and Hagrid?"

"Of course not." Stephen immediately shook his head in denial, "I don't think we should bring more people into danger."

"Danger" Rowan asked in confusion, "If you are talking about the encounter in the fantasy world, it is indeed quite dangerous. But does this have anything to do with not telling Petunia and Hagrid the complete truth?"

"I think you have a lot to tell us," Martin said, putting down the Quibbler he had taken out at some point.

"Let me think about it." Stephen nodded, "A lot of things happened while you were away..."

After Stephen told Rowan and Martin all what he had encountered in the past few days, they gradually frowned.

"So, there is a secret organization in the school, and r is the code name of the organization." Rowan took out a notebook, and he had already roughly written down what Stephen said, "And Ben is also a member of this organization. "

"So what do you think they are looking for?" Martin asked, staring at Stephen's face, "or what do they want to get from you?"

"Maybe it's the pocket watch I have on me."

"What I'm curious about is why you didn't enter Hufflepuff's room, since you've already entered the rooms of the three founders... wait, kitchen," Rowan said with realization, "so maybe The environment you're entering could just as well be Hufflepuff's handiwork."

"Rowan, you are really too whimsical." Martin objected to Rowan's point of view, "Hufflepuff does not have the ability to foresee the future."

"That's not certain, maybe she is also an excellent prophet." Rowan was about to bring out a series of historical research to support his point of view, "You must know that it is also recorded in some histories of magic."

"Stop, I'm off topic. Now is not a good time to discuss history." Stephen knocked on the table and brought the topic back, "We can put aside the matter of R for now. We will know when Professor McGonagall comes back. Who attacked me? For an organization that has been exposed, there is no need to use too much energy, the professors will deal with it."

"Even if Dumbledore has no idea of ​​dealing with this matter at all." Stephen added in his mind, he did not think that Dumbledore was unaware of these organizations in the school.

"Among the many things Piet said, there was one thing that interested me the most. After he saw my pocket watch, he said it was a time turner, and according to the dense forest outside Hogsmeade, there are hundreds of There’s a guy miles away who has it too.”

"But you can't prove that the events that happened in the fantasy world are real." Rowan objected, "Your idea is not rigorous."

"Indeed, but if we can ask Professor Binns about what happened during the goblin rebellion, we might be able to gain something."

"Then the question is, do we know where his office is?" Martin interjected, which made Stephen and Rowan stunned. After all, few people in the school would go to Professor Binns to ask questions about the history of magic. , so few people know the location of Professor Binns' office, or even whether he has an office.

"Um...this question is difficult to ask, but we can wait until the vacation is over before asking him." Stephen was stunned for a few seconds and gave his own plan.

Martin nodded, "Then this issue has been put aside for the time being. Now we can discuss about r. I should have told you that they had invited me to join them, but out of caution, I did not agree."

"Did they tell you about the organizational philosophy or anything like that?" Rowan picked up the pen again and prepared to record it.

"Unfortunately, not at all." Martin recalled for a while, and finally shook his head, "I only remember that the reason they invited me was to unite all the people who suffered misfortune because of the Death Eaters."

"Then the question is, Ben comes from a Muggle family, and he has never been threatened by Death Eaters, so why would he join this organization?" Stephen recalled many details about Ben, "He was targeted by R At that time, it could only be after getting on the train to the branch at the beginning of the semester, but it is very difficult for any student to find out his background so quickly."

"That's why I'm wary of them." Martin pulled out a piece of letter paper from the magazine and handed it to Stephen. "The above is my observation record of some people who participated in R in the past three days."

"Where did you get the money and time?" Stephen became more and more curious about Martin.

"The Daily Prophet gives me some allowance every month." Martin turned to the next page of the devil's book and explained casually, "I don't have much money to spend, so I saved a lot of money."

"They may never have thought that the person receiving the stipend from their newspaper is a die-hard fan who is against the grain." Rowan joked.

"Perhaps die-hard fans are not that big. Watching ridiculous things is good for your physical and mental health." Martin thought for a while and then focused his attention on the magazine in his hand again.

Stephen listened to their conversation, opened the letter in his hand and looked at the contents. The names of three people were recorded on it: Michelle Hinton, Victor Preece and Eli Brooks.

In his mind, these three people were not freshmen. He suppressed the matter for the time being and focused on the subsequent content.

"Have you all been to Bartwell Bar?" Stephen compared their activity routes in recent days and confirmed that they had indeed been there.

"Do you know where the Bartwell Bar is?" he looked up and asked.

"A very unknown tavern, in a neighborhood in Surrey." Martin recalled his itinerary, "very close to Privet Drive."

"Interesting." Stephen handed the letter to Martin, "So are they also interested in Harry Potter?"

"If it's what they said, Mr. Potter meets their requirements." Martin stuffed the letter back into the magazine, "By the way, I remember that the Butterwell Bar seemed very busy on the day they went."

"Perhaps the R organization we are dealing with is a behemoth."

"On the bright side, they're not enemies yet."

"Don't worry, Stephen, I will definitely be on your side." Rowan helped his eyes, "Of course, the premise is that I think you are on the side of justice."

Stephen gave Rowan a grateful smile, and then looked at Martin.

"Don't look at me the way you look at Rowan." Martin shrugged, "I will only stand on the side that I think is right. I just recognize you now."

"That's enough." Stephen smiled, he didn't want to become enemies with Martin.
