Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"Don't worry about it. Let's talk about what everyone lost." Dean brought the topic back on track.

"Neville lost his memory ball, Harry and I lost a few gold galleons..." Seamus said this and glanced at Ron, who was blushing.

"...I haven't lost anything. Maybe even the thief thinks I have nothing worth stealing." The expression on Ron's face could not be defined as shame or shame.

"If I must say it, Ron's pet Scabbers is missing." Harry added hastily.

"Harry, Scabbers often sneaks out to find food by himself..." Ron said frustratedly.

"Nothing was lost... Are you doubting Ron?" Dean looked at the others angrily.

"No, no one said that." Seamus waved his hands in panic.

Looking at other people's expressions, Dean felt relieved. Even if no one said it explicitly, the attitude shown by some people was already obvious.

Dean sighed inwardly. Young wizards of their age did not have strong judgment ability. They must simply think that something was lost, and the most suspicious person would be the poorest one.

It just so happened that Ron didn't lose anything, which made it easier for others to suspect him.

"I believe everyone here!" Dean said with emphasis, "If I have to talk about suspicion, I was not in the dormitory just now. Isn't it the biggest suspicion? Maybe I went out just to hide the stolen goods."

"Dean, stop joking. Do you still lack some Galleons?" Seamus patted Dean on the shoulder and said solemnly to Ron, "Ron, I'm sorry, my attitude just now might... be a bit annoying. Misunderstanding, actually I really didn’t doubt you.”

"Everything is over, isn't it? The most important thing now is to find the real thief and get back what we lost - Galleons don't matter, what's important is Neville's memory ball, and Neville can't live without that thing now." Harry quickly smoothed things over.

"Dean, you haven't checked to see if anything is missing," Ron reminded.

"I don't have anything valuable to throw away..." Dean said nonchalantly. All his important things were kept close to his body in the dragon skin bag.

But when his eyes fell on the bedside, his face suddenly stiffened, and he found that the small silver alarm clock that had been with him for many years was missing.

"What? You have something missing too?" Neville asked carefully.

"You should all have seen the silver one in my head on the bedside, but now it's gone..." Dean felt helpless.

It seemed that they were indeed recruiting a thief. They dared to steal from him. How brave they were!

"Is it valuable?" Ron immediately tensed up when he heard it was made of silver.

"That's not the case, it's just that I've used it for many years and it's very memorable." Dean waved his hand.

Dean understands Ron's feelings. I'm afraid he won't be relaxed until he finds the real thief. After all, Ron is only 11 years old and does not have such a strong endurance.

It seems that the "real murderer" must be found as soon as possible.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to try a spell." Dean thought of a spell he read in the "Medieval Witchcraft Guide" called "Past Retrieval Spell".

The effect of this spell is very simple, that is, it can reproduce scenes that have happened in a short period of time.

At that time, Dean thought that this spell would be very useful, and it was not difficult to learn. After practice, he had activated this spell in the magic talent system, and he did not expect that it would come in handy now.

Dean spent 3 skill points and raised the "Past Retrieval Spell" to level three. He felt that it was enough to solve this small case.

"Of course, no problem, hurry up!" Ron urged quickly.

"You all stand back so that you don't disturb me as much as possible." Dean motioned for everyone to retreat to the door.

"Eddie Mux!" Dean waved his wand towards the dormitory.

The originally brightly lit room suddenly darkened, and everyone seemed to have a curtain in front of them, and then some hazy scenes appeared on the curtain.

"What's going on?" Neville asked with a little fear.

"Don't be afraid, this should be the scene not long ago when you didn't return to the dormitory." Dean explained in a low voice.

"Look, look there -" Neville said tremblingly, pointing to the position of his bed.

Everyone saw a furry little shadow jumping onto Neville's bed and pulling out a sparkling object from under his pillow - everyone recognized it as Neville's memory ball.

Immediately afterwards, the little thing began to sweep through the entire dormitory. Not only Dean's silver alarm clock, Harry and Seamus' Galleons, but even a copper nut that Ron left in the corner of the bed at some point was stolen by the little thing. gone.

The "Past Retrieval Spell" did not last long, and soon the light returned to the dormitory. Everyone already knew who had stolen the things.

"It's Scabbers! It's been in my house for so long, and I've never found it to have this problem." Ron said angrily.

"No wonder Scabbers disappeared suddenly." Harry obviously had the same view as Ron.

"Ron, I never thought your pet was so smart..." Seamus said with emotion.

"What do you want to say? Was it me who ordered Banban?" Ron was like a powder keg ready to explode.

"I didn't say that." Seamus' answer made Ron even more furious.

He stared at Seamus fiercely and said word by word: "Seamus Finnigan, I know what you think! But I repeat, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

"To put it lightly, you can't deny that Banban is your pet." Simo was getting angry at this time.

"Shut up!" Dean interrupted the dispute between the two. They were both his good friends and he didn't want the two to have conflicts because of this.

Dean didn't say anything just now. He always felt that something was wrong. He wanted to use the past retrieval spell again, but it seemed that it wouldn't work now. Ron would probably object.

Just when Dean said this, the system threw out a task at the right time.

“Mission: Ron’s Wrongful

Your dormitory was robbed, and the thief seemed to be Ron's pet Scabbers. Ron was wronged for this and tried to find a way to clear him of the injustice.

Reward: Ron's favorability +100, 2 skill points. "

Although it was a bit untimely, Dean was still a little excited: if Ron's favorability is +100, then the "Ron's Bond" that can bring luck will be raised to level 2, and Dean is looking forward to this very much.

"Seamus, even if Scabbers really stole those things, Ron can't be blamed." Dean said fairly.

He remembered something was wrong, Scabbers was Peter Pettigrew.

Even if Peter is short of money now, as long as he is in his right mind, he will not steal in Hogwarts. If the matter gets bigger, it will undoubtedly focus the attention of the professors and even Dumbledore on him, and he will frame Sirius. Things will come to light immediately.

It’s too late for Peter to keep a low profile now, he’s crazy to do this!

So that little thing is probably not Scabbers.

Dean felt that Banban's suspicion could basically be ruled out, but unfortunately he couldn't put this reason on the table and could only think of another reason...
