This Hogwarts isn't normal.

The badgers had already dispersed when they arrived at the fourth floor.

The Black Swan Activity Room was still intact.

But the four lying down looked like they wanted to kill, and the ones standing stood with strange expressions.

Split was the first word Justin thought of.

He looked at the Owl Court Activity Room behind him and found that there were several people at the door talking excitedly about what had just happened.

"As soon as Vincent walked in, they obediently made way for him..."

James exaggerated the facts a little, "You know the troll-like Marcus? He was so scared that he threw away his wand and didn't even dare to resist!"

The badgers knew he was bragging.

"If you don't believe me, go ask Neville. It's just a few hits, and Malfoy has lost his temper."

"Really?" Hannah blinked her bright eyes.

Neville looked at a table in the corner.

Vincent was talking to Byron and the others over there, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Yes, yes." Neville timidly stretched out his hands and touched them together, "That's it, Malfoy and Zabini are both down."

Ernie and Justin looked at each other.

The result is there, but what's the reason?

James and Alfred both grinned.

"You all know Vincent's character, right?"

"Yes."

"Last year, Neville was bullied, and he even retaliated against girls.

Hannah's big eyes glanced at another corner.

Pansy and Daphne once...

Hmm? Boys can't enter the girls' dormitory, so it can only be Hermione sitting opposite?

Don't you remember grudges?

"This is the terrifying thing about Vincent." James lowered his voice as much as possible,

"No matter who stands in his way, he will clear these obstacles. "

Justin didn't understand and asked: "Who is it this time?"

"Well, this~" James and Alfred both gave him a little look of "those who understand, understand."

"Greengrass?"

"Shhh-"

"Is there Granger? "

James gave him a thumbs up, then patted Neville on the shoulder,

"They are girls after all, and you were not injured last time."

"Ah?" Neville scratched his head, "Why do I always feel that you are hinting at something."

"How can a person standing at the top of Hogwarts not have a girlfriend~"

Alfred quickly shook his arm to remind him, "Don't say it, James, you are in big trouble."

James turned around with all his feelings and saw Vincent standing behind him with a smile on his face.

"Ah-Old Vin, how come you can always show up in time?"

"I cast a tracking magic on you. No matter where you hide in the world, I can hear all the bad things you say.

"You-are you kidding?" James felt a chill on his spine.

"Yes." The smile on Vincent's face was meaningful, "I just keep an eye on you recently."

Neville and Alfred both mourned for three seconds in their hearts.

Until before dinner, there was a figure running in the castle.

...

...

Such a serious incident happened in the school, of course, it could not be hidden from the headmaster.

After dinner that day, Dumbledore made an appointment with the two deans.

Before they walked into the headmaster's office, they had roughly known what was going on.

If Fred and George had not spread rumors, it was indeed the Black Swan that was not kind this time.

Snape had nothing to say.

McGonagall did not say anything, but just asked him to manage his students well and not let the same thing happen again.

"Compared to the greater interests, he made an irrational choice."

Dumbledore said to himself, "Being able to do this for his companions proves that he is indeed not affected by the dark magic."

Snape narrowed his eyes, "You want to use the Horcrux to lure that person out?"

"If you can find an intact one."

McGonagall neither agreed nor disagreed.

Vincent played a key role in the Quirrell incident last year and the Lockhart incident this year.

In Voldemort's must-kill list, he would not be much lower than Horace and Lucius.

Rather than being frightened, it is better to be a bait.

As long as Vincent and one of the Horcruxes are "accidentally" exposed to the public, Voldemort will most likely confirm whether the remaining Horcruxes are safe as soon as possible.

Saving time and effort, Snape certainly has no reason to object.

Since Dumbledore will not pursue today's matter, the reason for calling them over is interesting.

"Minerva, Vincent's safety is in your hands."

Snape's face was gloomy, and he always felt that there would be more trouble.

"Severus, since you already know that Harry has a piece of his soul fragment-"

"No, Dumbledore!" He seemed a little excited, "I won't be a nanny for anyone!"

Dumbledore smiled lightly, "Severus, you seem to have misunderstood something.

Although he can no longer sense other soul fragments, Harry is not a real Horcrux."

No matter how the situation changes, the possibility of Harry being affected will only increase.

Quirrell and Lockhart are an example.

Even if Voldemort doesn't know it now, he will definitely know it in the future.

If he wants to use Harry...

"Okay." Snape agreed.

He knew Dumbledore would be busy until the Horcruxes were found, and he knew Vincent couldn't teach anyone.

"Please be quick, Severus."

Snape left without saying a word.

Occlumency is an alternative until you are mentally prepared.

"Albus, I still have something to discuss with you." McGonagall glanced at the portraits of the former principals intentionally or unintentionally.

Dumbledore picked up the Elder Wand and waved it gently, "Speak, Minerva."

"This is about something I just heard from an old friend..."

A well-known reporter from the Daily Prophet already knew what happened today.

According to the news from her old friend, it seems that many people want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fuss.

Lucius probably wouldn't dare, but Mrs. Zabini, who was about to get married for the seventh time recently, might not dare.

She has a beauty that drives men crazy and a huge inheritance from her first six husbands.

Her only son was beaten today, how could she bear it?

Dumbledore pinched his eyebrows gently.

Lucius and other pure-blood gentlemen might worry about reputation, but Mrs. Zabini doesn't care so much.

For a short time, Vincent was safe.

But the Greengrass family...

"Minerva, please ask that child to come here."

Mag nodded and left.

Everyone is careless sometimes, and Dumbledore is no exception.

His view of Vincent has not changed, and he is even a little lucky that such a thing can happen sooner.

As status and power increase, people tend to blindly believe in themselves.

At that point, small oversights can become fatal weaknesses.
