"This is the end of the review lesson on advanced summoning. By the way, the time for this year's NEWTs has been confirmed, May 5th."

Like a drop of cold water dripping into a frying pan, the classroom exploded instantly.Even the seventh grade, who is about to enter the society as an adult, cannot bear the devastation of the exam.

"Merlin's socks, I haven't started reviewing yet!!!"

"It was almost two months earlier, why?"

"Is the Ministry of Magic still letting people live?"

……

"Quiet! Quiet-quiet-" Dumbledore drew his voice. Objectively speaking, his voice was not loud, but it exploded in everyone's ears like thunder, forcing everyone's attention to focus on him.There was a soothing power in his blue and calm eyes. "We all know that there are frequent accidents during this school year. Out of consideration for everyone's safety, the Department of Education of the Ministry of Magic and the school board unanimously decided to end this semester early."

He looked around the classroom and saw that the students were as quiet as chickens resigned to their fate.He smiled slightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, good luck."

In the classroom, the rustling of robes and the friction of tables and chairs can be heard one after another.The seventh graders who were under the pressure of exams rushed out to the library one after another, and soon Dumbledore was the only one left.He waved his magic wand, and the messy teaching props and lesson plans disappeared out of thin air.Dumbledore never brought a wand to class.

He bowed his head and thought for a while, then cleared his throat: "Very beautiful invisibility, Miss Carter."

The wall a few feet away behind the tall wizard peeled off like paint, and a relatively thin figure gradually appeared.Blonde hair, blue eyes, pale face, it was Wendy.

"I'm here to see the scene of the third case." She said softly.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to find any clues. This classroom has been checked no less than ten times."

Wendy lowered her eyes, as if a complex calculation process was going on in her mind. "I found an item in Mr. Malcolm McGonagall's bedroom," she organized her words very carefully, looking up as she spoke, and finally met Dumbledore's eyes. "There is a triangle in the middle of a circle." The mark of the vertical bar, the mark of the saints."

Dumbledore was surprised for a moment, but overall he was very calm, far beyond Wendy's imagination. "What about that item?"

"I didn't dare to touch it, and stayed where I was."

Dumbledore smiled, shaking his long reddish-brown beard with pleasure. "Very... sensible. Clever and sensible...Miss Carter, I believe you used invisibility to infiltrate Hufflepuff dormitory, but I still want to ask, if you don't mind telling me, why you did Do?"

Wendy said without thinking, "I suspect that Mr. McGonagall needs to be partially responsible for the first two disappearances."

Professor Dumbledore's eyes swept across her face meaningfully.Wendy was sure that the suspicion of "planting the blame" must have appeared in the vice principal's mind, but he immediately suppressed the thought.

This is probably considered trust.

The patron saint in the form of a phoenix fluttered away, and after a while, Hufflepuff's prefect was called over.By the time Wendy followed Dumbledore into Malcolm's dormitory again, all the students who should be evacuated had already been evacuated.

There is a small transom on the wall, through which the sun shines into the room, making the yellow sheets and quilt covers present a warm and cozy texture.Hufflepuff's home is like a hamster's warm cave.

A small potted plant with a strange appearance was on the bedside table, trying to stretch its branches to try to touch the sunlight.Wendy searched "Thousands of Miraculous Herbs and Mushrooms" but could not find any information about this plant.It looks like a green calla lily, the cup-shaped flowers are exactly the same color as the leaves, and it looks like a rolled green leaf from a distance.It's just that on the top of the flower pot, there is a slightly raised saint's logo, which is not conspicuous, and you have to look closely to find it, but it is indeed there.

According to the children in Malcolm's dormitory, this potted plant is Malcolm's treasure. He named it and sometimes talked to it.

"Very beautiful, very well-grown. Charming child." Professor Gump, who did not know when he appeared, marveled at the plant, "Ah—yes, yes, ear grass. The savior of the Middle World, but It gradually became extinct due to the infection of bacteria in the era of great exploration." Professor Gamp wiped the dirt off her wand vigorously, and then carefully placed it on the stamen.

Wendy blinked, that plant was still that plant, nothing had changed.

Dumbledore on the side seemed to see her doubts, and cast the "Loud Voice" spell on the potted plant three times.

The voice from the green flower finally reached the volume that normal people can hear.

"The Wizarding Level exams are brought up, it's inhuman - thanks, I'd like to borrow the NEWTs Review Guide." This is the library.

"Let me tell you, I found a secret passage behind that ugly wizard statue on the fifth floor. As long as XXX the secret passage will open." This is the Gryffindor common room.

"Miss Blake asked us to prepare Ceylon tea and butter cookies for afternoon tea, soon, hurry up!" The shrill, nervous voice of the house-elf mingled with the clattering of pots and pans in the kitchen.

"Miss McMillan, I like you." "Thank you, I already have someone I like." Emmmmm, this is probably in a deserted corridor...

"Isn't it a headless thing? He didn't have a head because he was beheaded by a group of Muggles when he flirted with the British Duchess. It's embarrassing to say it." He didn't even let the gossip of the ghost go.

……

Dumbledore used a Levitation Charm to make the eargrass float in the air. "It seems that we have discovered the source of Mr. Bao Inquiry." He looked serious, and even couldn't hide his anger.As long as there is even a little tampering on this magical grass, Hogwarts will be as transparent in front of the saints.

"We need to clean up the pollen." Professor Gamp woke up from the frenzy and was extremely decisive.

Dumbledore dragged his ear grass with magic power to listen and search all the way.Four lounges, library, classrooms, corridors, dining room, kitchen... the pollen of the ear grass is only a millimeter in size, dusty, looks like dust, but it is the most sensitive bug in the world today .

Wendy didn't move, she froze in place, replaying all the shady actions this semester in her head over and over again.Danger!very dangerous!

The first thing she thought of was the resurrection stone.When she told Tom the password to enter the Response Room in the corridor on the eighth floor, she lowered her voice and whispered to her ears, but the possibility of being eavesdropped by ear grass still cannot be ruled out.

For a moment, she had the urge to go to the Room of Requirement to confirm the resurrection stone.

No, calm down.If the saint has found the resurrection stone, there will be no such messy things as disappearance and injury.Maybe it was because Malcolm hadn't had time to sprinkle pollen on the eighth floor at that time, maybe the listener walked away at that time, in short, the resurrection stone should not have been exposed.

Then what happened later.Did a single word of her reasoning about the disappearance case and where Tom found the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets fall into the opposite ear?

Wendy covered her temples on both sides, feeling the temperature under her palms gradually calm down.The effect of the ear grass is not as bad as she imagined at first.It needs to jump back and forth between different channels, and it is a tool for real-time monitoring, and there is no recording function.Taking a step back, even if the eargrass can record sound, the saints want to obtain all the sound information in detail, unless they call a channel of 24 people and each of them is on duty [-] hours a day like a spy agency.This is unrealistic in the hands of wizards.

In conclusion, there must be omissions of information.Whether it will be heard is a matter of probability.

The problem of probability is also a big problem.

It would be nice if the SMS notebook was invented earlier, and it would be nice if more SMS notebooks were used.

The fear and remorse came too fast and too fast, which made her a little numb.After being numb to the extreme, the brain can function normally.

As soon as she suspected Malcolm, the evidence was brought to her eyes. The situation was so smooth that it seemed to be a demon.Abandoned!Malcolm is just a small fish, not the mastermind.Just as Voldemort's Horcrux was able to manipulate Ginny, the Saint's magic item manipulated Malcolm.That child may have just missed a thought and was confused by the superficial effect of the ear grass, but at least his nature is not bad.

Wendy took two steps forward.The position of the sun has shifted two inches, further away from the bedside table.

The most pressing questions now are two.

The upline who intends to silence Malcolm is still lurking in the school, who is this person?

What was the fragment that Malcolm was holding in his hand when he was attacked?What message is he trying to leave behind?

These two questions may ultimately lead to the same answer.

Wendy took another two steps forward.Boys' dormitories are messier than girls' dormitories.Probably because he left in a hurry, half an old crumpled sock was exposed under a canopy bed.She took one last look at Malcolm's half-ball-shaped quilt, and exited the room.

She had to apologize to Tom for acting privately this time.Whether you feel sorry in your heart is one thing, but you must have a candid attitude on your face.

Wendy spread out her text message notebook, and wrote down everything that happened today—from her sneaking into Malcolm's bedroom, until the results of the professors' handling—all in detail, and then her worries, And told Tom to be careful.

She bit her pen and thought for a long time, and finally she said a word:

"Malcolm's bed gave me a sense of incongruity, but I couldn't figure out what it was for a while."
