Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

"Dear Auror, if it is all right, could you please move aside?"

At the entrance of Diagon Alley, a double-decker bus was forced to stop here. The conductor looked at the circle of Aurors around and said impatiently: "I have told you many times that the person you are looking for has never taken the Knight Bus."

"But we understand that someone has indeed taken the Knight Bus here." The leading Auror said expressionlessly.

"Is there any problem with this?" The conductor became even more annoyed. "We are here to help wizards in distress. Not only today, we receive passengers from Diagon Alley every day."

"But today is the most special." The Auror continued, "Someone killed five wizards in Knockturn Alley. With such cruel behavior, he will definitely attack other wizards. We must catch him as soon as possible. You don't want to be targeted by a cruel dark wizard, do you?"

"Killed... five wizards..." The ticket seller panicked instantly and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his ticket wallet. "Oh, you just mentioned Knockturn Alley, could it be the wizards there who did it?"

"Knockturn Alley has its own rules. We won't mess around, and we won't get ourselves into trouble."

"So you're sure he left on the Knight Bus?"

"These are not questions you should ask." The Auror said coldly, "Now you just need to cooperate with us."

"Okay, you want to know something," the conductor said, "but you'd better ask quickly, because there are many wizards waiting for our help."

"Don't worry, it won't take too long." The Auror said, "But your answer is too vague. I may have to take some other measures."

"Legilimency."

Before the conductor could react, she saw a wand, and then everything that had happened in the past three hours began to flash through her mind rapidly.

But besides her, the Auror on the opposite side could also see these clips.

"You actually... dared to use... Legilimency on me!"

The conductor reacted and exploded, "You can't do this, I'm going to the Ministry of Magic to complain to the Minister!"

"It's okay, go ahead." The Auror said calmly, "The situation is urgent, and some measures are necessary. As long as we can catch that dark wizard, I will accept the punishment."

"That's a nice thing to say." The conductor was not calmed down by his words. "So, have you found any clues?"

The Auror said nothing.

He did not find the rich strange wizard described by the shop owners in the ticket seller's memory.

Only two people have ridden the Knight Bus in this memory.

The first one is a middle-aged wizard, who is also the first to be excluded. It is not because of his appearance. In the wizarding world, it is too easy to change one's appearance, whether it is Transfiguration or Polyjuice Potion.

Mainly because of that man, he didn't even have a complete Sickle, and he had to count a handful of Knuts twice. It was obvious that he was very tight on money, which didn't fit his character of spending money lavishly.

As for the second one, she was a witch, and she looked very anxious. It was possible that she was the person they were looking for, but it was just a possibility.

Because these cruel dark wizards are usually very cunning, they have many ways to avoid the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic, and perhaps they have already slipped away without his knowledge.

The Auror rubbed his forehead. No matter what, he decided to go and take a look. At least he had to keep himself busy, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the Ministry of Magic.

All he could do now was to make as much noise as possible to make the other party afraid to act rashly and keep quiet for a short period of time.

Otherwise, if five more wizards died, his career as an Auror would be over.

He waved his hand, signaling that the Knight Bus could leave.

The conductor snorted and got on the bus.

"You guys stay here." Then he turned to the people following him and said, "Bartok, come with me to Northamptonshire."

"Captain, you don't really believe that guy would leave on the Knight Bus." An Auror came over and asked, "A wizard so rich, he may not even know there is such a means of transportation.

"I still think that we should investigate that old guy Malfoy. Everyone knows that Holicon works for him. Is it possible that he knew too much and was silenced?"

"Do you have any evidence? Malfoy is the favorite guest of many directors." The Auror Captain said in a deep voice: "We may be asked to evacuate as soon as we enter his manor."

"We can find evidence," Bartok said, "We got the news that someone saw Holiken get a dragon egg, but the egg disappeared in the end.

"Malfoy was the person who was most opposed to the establishment of a dragon sanctuary. Perhaps the reason why Horrican was silenced was related to this incident.

"That makes sense." The Auror Captain said without turning his head, "Then you don't have to go to Northamptonshire with me to look for dragon eggs. If you can find them, my position will be yours."

"This..." Bartok scratched his hair awkwardly, "I, I don't know where to find it."

"It doesn't matter. I know that the dragon egg was most likely taken away by the dark wizard who killed Horliken. As long as you can find him, you can find the dragon egg."

Bartok was even more embarrassed... Searching for the dark wizard, wasn't that what they were doing?

He had no choice but to shut up and follow quietly.

"But you are right about one thing." The Auror Captain thought for a moment and said, "So, you go to the vicinity of Malfoy Manor and monitor every move there. Be careful to hide yourself and don't expose yourself. I will find a way to ask the Minister for a search warrant."

"Can it be done?"

"Give it a try. Killing five wizards in a row is a very bad thing even in Knockturn Alley. The Minister will not let any possibility go."

……

Meanwhile, in Godric's Hollow.

Kyle had found the Valley Bar that Bathilda Bagshot had mentioned.

It was at the lowest point of the valley, not far from her home, only a few minutes away, and it was also one of the most popular places for nearby wizards.

Many people like to come here for a drink in their spare time and chat with a few familiar people. This is also the best way to entertain themselves.

When Kyle came over, it was already lunchtime, but there were still a lot of people in the Valley Bar, it was noisy and lively.

Kyle walked in, and probably because of his unfamiliar face, he immediately attracted a lot of attention. They all looked over.

But Kyle didn't care. He walked straight to the counter and found the boss wiping the cups.

“I want a room,” he said, then added: “Ms. Bathilda Bagshot sent me here.”

When he heard Bathilda's name, the boss, who had been careless just now, immediately raised his head.

"Bathilda...are you her great-nephew too?" The boss looked Kyle up and down, finally staring at his black hair.

"No..." Kyle shook his head and said, "I just came to Godric's Hollow today. I'm a student who likes magical history."

"Oh!" The boss nodded in understanding. "No wonder. It's rare to find wizards who share the same hobbies as her."

He took out a key and handed it to Kyle, "Your room is on the second floor. It's on the left when you go up. How long do you want to stay?"

"Let's set it at one month for now." Kyle said after thinking for a while.

"The fee will be settled in one lump sum. You need to pay me ninety Sickles."

"Ninety Sickles?" Kyle thought he had misheard.

It's not too expensive, it's too cheap.

That works out to about three Sickles a day, and even a hundred years ago, that price was so low that Kyle thought he was staying in a shady place.

Is Bathilda's name so useful?

Although he was confused, Kyle still took out six Galleons and handed them to the boss.

"Please give me the rest of the lunch, if there is any here."

"Too much." said the boss.

"Then add tomorrow's lunch."

The boss didn't say anything this time.

Kyle took the key and went upstairs and opened the room on the left.

The environment here was much better than he had imagined. Although it was a little small, it had everything he needed, and many of them looked new. If it was placed in the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley, such a room would cost at least two Galleons a day.

Of course, it was the Leaky Cauldron at his time.

Kyle took out his wand and tapped it lightly. A circular wave like a bubble quickly spread out in all directions, and after hitting the wall, it spread to the ceiling.

The Search spell, a small spell learned in fourth grade, can detect objects or creatures related to dark magic within a certain range.

After making sure there was no problem with the room, Kyle sat down in the chair with peace of mind.

At this time, lunch was also delivered.

In a place like this, you can forget about having a fancy meal, just a very standard portion of food.

Fried fish, fried potatoes, roasted whole potatoes in the jacket, boiled mashed potatoes, a loaf of bread and butter, a bottle of pumpkin juice.

The taste was just average, the potato strips were too thick and still raw inside, and the mashed potatoes were just as its name suggests, with potatoes and mash.

But Kyle didn't find it strange. After all, it was 1899 and this was very normal. Even a hundred years later, it would be almost the same standard.

That is to say, places where there are more wizards... such as the Leaky Cauldron or the Three Broomsticks, I will be a little more careful.

Kyle ate a few bites and after filling his stomach, he left the room and returned to Godric's Hollow again.

He needed to find the barn Grindelwald had told him about ahead of time.

According to Nico, Dumbledore would suddenly appear at a certain point in time in the place he thought was most appropriate.

What Kyle needed to do was to take him away immediately at that time. For more than two months, no one knew how many times Dumbledore had repeated the same thing here. Even if he was the greatest white wizard, his spirit might not be able to bear it.

This is still based on the premise that he did nothing. If he did something and tried to change what had already happened, the cost would only be greater.

Kyle returned to the place where he was before, and this time he deliberately bypassed Bathilda's house and was not seen again.

He walked a little further and finally found the legendary barn on a hidden hillside.

This place has indeed been abandoned for a long time. As soon as you come in, you can smell the smell of rotting straw, and aphids and fox moths can be seen everywhere... This place has almost become a paradise for these pests.

Unfortunately, Kyle did not meet Professor Dumbledore here, nor did he find any trace of his existence.

"Yeah, that definitely won't happen." Kyle shook his head.

He showed up earlier than Dumbledore, so there was definitely no trace of him at this time.

Kyle walked to the middle of the barn and looked up at the only window.

The window is very small and the visible area is not very wide, but it happens to be opposite to a person's attic and all the features match.

Grindelwald said that the attic belonged to Dumbledore's family and Ariana lived in it all year round. There was nothing that could be done about it.

As an Obscurus, once Ariana is stimulated by the outside world, she will most likely release the Obscurus.

If it is unconscious, Obscurus will indiscriminately attack everything around it until there are no living creatures or intact buildings around it, and then it will return to Ariana's body again.

And she will remember none of this when she wakes up.

But if Ariana was still conscious, she would probably resist the Obscurus and do her best to stop it.

Ariana can suppress Obscurus's normal emotional fluctuations, but she will become weaker, and this weakness cannot be eliminated until she can no longer suppress Obscurus.

There is another situation, that is, if Ariana's emotions are too strong and she tries hard to suppress them, the Obscurus will explode in her body, and the violent dark matter will kill her directly.

The Dumbledore family should have known about this situation, so they kept Ariana in a place where she couldn't be contacted by anyone, not allowing her to go to school or go out.

Only in this way can we ensure that Ariana will not be stimulated.

But this method forced Ariana to stay in the small attic. Apart from Dumbledore and Aberforth, her world only had that small window.

Kyle sighed. This kind of imprisonment-like protection was a bit too cruel for a child.

Especially since Ariana is already a teenager, the age when she is curious about everything.

He didn't know if it was because his gaze was too eager, but he suddenly saw a small head appear in the attic. It was a little girl, who was also looking at the abandoned barn.

Kyle quickly took two steps forward to get out of the window.

He didn't know if Ariana saw him, but she probably did. But no matter what, he didn't want to have any contact with this girl at this time.

Kyle shook his head. Now that he knew the location, it was time for him to go back. Now he just had to wait for Dumbledore to come.

Before leaving, Kyle placed a telescopic ear in the corner of the barn and carefully hid it with straw and a broken wooden barrel. This way, even if he didn't come here, he could still understand the situation in the barn.

But just when Kyle finished doing all this, the barn door creaked open from the outside, and a golden figure immediately occupied Kyle's field of vision.

"You?" Grindelwald looked at Kyle. "What are you doing here?"

Kyle's mouth twitched. He couldn't understand why Grindelwald came to this abandoned barn.

And it happened at this time.

"Oh, you are the great-nephew of Ms. Bagshot," he said casually. "I just stumbled upon this and came in to take a look, hoping to find some interesting traces."

"You're lying. You didn't find this place by accident." Grindelwald narrowed his eyes and said, "But I don't care what you want to do. Although you are suspicious and must have some purpose for coming here, I don't think you will do anything bad to us."

"intuition?"

"No, I can see that," Grindelwald said, still staring at Kyle, which made Kyle somewhat uncomfortable.

"By the way, you said you were studying the history of magic." Grindelwald suddenly asked, "Do you know the Three Hallows?"

“Those three alchemical objects mentioned in The Tales of Beedle the Bard?” Kyle said.

"You think they are alchemical items?" Grindelwald's voice rose slightly.

"Of course, how else can I explain it?" Kyle said, "It's impossible that they are really the creation of God. There is no magic at all. I prefer to believe that they are the masterpieces of a powerful alchemist, and they have been given a mysterious legend over the course of hundreds or thousands of years.

"What's wrong? Why are you asking this suddenly? Do you believe that story?"

"Nothing, just asking."

After hearing Kyle's words, Grindelwald's expression suddenly became much duller, and he seemed to have lost interest in Kyle.

"I have something else to do, please continue..."

"No, I'm done looking," said Kyle. "This is clearly just an ordinary barn. It has nothing to do with Godric Gryffindor."

"This time Grindelwald didn't even stop and left without looking back."
