Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 515: Trap?
,!
"According to your instructions, I sent someone to investigate secretly——"
At the desk, Remus Lupine looked a little tired, his suit was a little wrinkled, and his stubble hadn't had time to shave.
"The addresses of the missing children have not changed, but their original families have basically suffered great changes—" Lupine sighed, "The parents who still live in the original place, almost everyone has been cast with the Forgetting Curse, and they, their friends and relatives have forgotten the existence of the child. What's more, some families have complicated interpersonal relationships, and there are too many people who need to cast the Forgetting Curse. They...they have been cast with the Imperius Curse..."
Hearing Lupin's report, Sean frowned even tighter. It was almost as he expected. With so many children missing suddenly, if the parents had called the police or engaged in other activities, he should have received some relevant news long ago. But if it wasn't for the trip to the cabin that night, Sean would have been kept in the dark until now.
The returnee cast a spell on the parents of those children...
However, what made Sean puzzled was that Lupine's report did not mention the situation similar to the Roynd couple. It seemed that only the poor couple were affected by the magic power of [Laziness].
Is Luo Yinde's child special, or is it just an attempt by the returnees?
Sean is more inclined to the former. He suspects that the boy named Lonte Roynd may have something special, for example, a certain quality on his body meets the requirements of [Container of Blame].
However, the specific situation needs to be checked after they rescue those poor children.
After thinking for a while, Sean said: "Withdraw all of our people, don't startle the enemy, and everyone who withdraws must be carefully checked to prevent compound decoction, Imperius Curse, weaving memory and other methods. Although the chance of being discovered is not high, you still have to be careful."
Lupine nodded: "Don't worry, I have ordered you to go down."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Remus."
After exchanging pleasantries with Lupine, Sean returned to Hogwarts. After leaving the Room of Requirement, he walked towards the auditorium.
Eating time every day is the only chance to meet Durmstrang's students. Since he beat up Reinhardt Nott that day, Durmstrang's students have all avoided him.
Sean originally planned to find a chance to test Leon Schneider again, but the other party didn't give him a chance at all. That guy never showed up in Hogwarts Castle except for meals.
When he came to the auditorium, he waved to Daisy and Hermione on the Ravenclaw table, and Sean habitually looked at the long table where the Durmstrang students were dining.
Then, Sen Leng cast his gaze over unabashedly, it was Reinhardt Nott.
The corner of Sean's mouth curled up, this guy is out of the hospital...
He waved friendlyly at the other party, with a warm smile on his face, as if greeting an old friend.
The hatred and coldness in Reinhard Nott's eyes were undisguised, and he made his usual hand gestures to Sean again, wiping his right hand across his neck.
It's kind of interesting, remember to eat or not... Sean smiled indifferently, this guy's stubbornness was beyond his expectation.
However, he is not so interested in Reinhardt Knott now. In that temptation, the other party did not seem to have unconventional power, whether it was silence or [crime].
Sean's focus has now shifted to Leon Schneider sitting next to Reinhard Knott.
He ignored the other party and walked straight towards Daisy and Hermione.
"It seems that Wallep doesn't think much of you at all." Leon Schneider chuckled.
Reinhard Knott picked up a piece of medium-rare steak, and myoglobin dripped on the plate and slowly smudged.
He tore at the steak indistinctly, and even licked his fingers.
"He will regret it..." Reinhardt Knott glanced at the latter, "However, isn't your plan a little too obvious? That kid is not an idiot. When everything is too logical, he will definitely doubt it, and then find out the flaws."
Leon Schneider shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "You just have to do it. My promise to you is that as long as you complete this task, you can join us, no matter what the final result is - as a classmate, I have fought for the best rights for you."
Reinhardt just sneered and didn't speak.
Best interest?
Continue according to the other party's plan, no matter what the final result is, I will definitely face Sean Wallep during the period, and according to the character of that kid, I'm afraid it can't be solved by lying in the infirmary for a month...
However, as long as you don't die, everything is acceptable...
On Ravenclaw's long table, after Sean sat down, Hermione leaned over and whispered, "That guy Nott sat with Leon Schneider after he came back, and he seemed to have been discussing something."
Sean didn't look there, but curled his lips: "What is the plan against me..."
"I don't know why, I always have a bad feeling..." Hermione hesitated for a while, but still said her feelings.
Sean did not hide the fact that he sneaked into the Durmstrang ship that day. Hermione and the others knew about his thoughts and plans. Now that the other party raised this question, Sean also asked, "Why do you say that?"
Hermione looked very distressed: "It's because I can't analyze the specific reason, so I am distressed... Logically speaking, they didn't find out that you already knew their secrets, and the arrangement they made now is also to deal with you. Check out the secrets on the big ship, but I always have a bad feeling... What they want is actually something else that we haven't noticed..."
"What we didn't notice..." Sean unconsciously chewed the food in his mouth, and then fell into deep thought.
He wasn't cocky enough to think his plan was flawless, and Hermione's sixth sense might be able to remind him of things he hadn't noticed before.
Normally speaking, the returnees didn't know that Sean had learned their secret. What they wanted to guard against was that Sean sneaked into the big ship... At that time, Strong Hartman, who was under his control, wandered back on the deck for a long time without being caught.
The other party should set the trap for himself, the boarder of [Arrogance]. Considering the other party's research on the magic power of guilt, Sean has sufficient reasons to suspect that the other party may have thoughts about the [Arrogance] in his body.
It is unrealistic to directly deprive [Arrogance], but maybe the other party has a way to extract part of the magic power from [Arrogance]...
Sean glanced at Hermione, the girl still had distress and doubts on her face, thinking about which important piece of information he had missed.
I should find a chance to reveal my situation to them from the side... Xiao En thought.
Grindelwald had hinted to himself that day that he could tell his close friends about the guilt through tactful hints, but Sean has been hesitant.
He can't figure out the boundaries of this hint. If there are too few hints, Hermione and the others will only be confused. If there are too many hints, Hermione and the others will also be involved in the prophecy. This will not only make it more difficult for Sean to deal with [Arrogance] in the future, but also put Hermione and the others in danger.
After all, guilt, which was born from the will of the world, once involved, cannot be shaken off.
Right now, even Professor McGonagall and the others are only aware of the prophecy and the situation of the returnees, they don't know exactly what Sean's status is in the prophecy.
Dumbledore, Grindelwald, Stephanie, and himself, these are the four people on the friendly side who clearly know everything about it, and on the side of the returnee, Sean has always tacitly acknowledged that all members of the other side know.
The number of returnees has not been clear yet, but Sean estimates that there must be at least a few dozen people. The strange thing is that the awakening speed of [Arrogance] in Sean's body has not accelerated even though so many people have known the prophecy.
Either, the other party already knew it, and the current awakening progress of the guilt happened while the returnee was aware of it, or it was special to the cube, and the returnee's half-human, half-ghost state would not cause additional impact when participating in the prophecy.
There is nothing to say about the former, and it is unlikely. After all, the returnees have not appeared in this world for too long. If it is the latter, it will be interesting.
Sean suddenly had an urge to enter the Misty Illusion and take a look.
It is not to enter the empty island where one's own [arrogant] exists, but to go in and see from the entrance and exit of the blurred illusion and the present world.
He never forgot one point. In his junior year, Dumbledore mentioned that the key to the Misty Illusion stored in the Ministry of Magic was stolen.
In other words, the entrance to the Misty Illusion and the present world is currently open.
It's just that I don't know where the entrance is - he can't feign death once like Harry in the original book, and enter the blurred environment in a strange way, that's not realistic.
Come back to your senses, Sean comforted Hermione: "Don't worry, the other party has been hiding in the dark. Since I'm going to deal with them, I won't take it lightly."
Hermione gave him a worried look, and finally just told him to be more careful.
After dinner, several people walked towards Ravenclaw's common room. Halfway through the walk, the Shadow Worm in Sean's arms suddenly squirmed.
Did Malfoy send himself a message?
Sean said to Hermione, then quietly walked around the crowd and walked towards the place where he usually communicated with Malfoy.
When we came to the empty classroom, Malfoy was already waiting inside.
"What's the matter, Draco, what's the matter?"
"There's a situation with Nott—" Malfoy said straight to the point.
"Reinhardt Nott? Oh, no, Theodore Nott?" Sean froze for a moment before he realized it.
Who knows, Malfoy frowned and said, "It's related to both of them."
"It's all related?" Sean suddenly became interested.
Although both of them are surnamed Nott, according to the information found before, Reinhart Nott and the British Nott family have no kinship relationship, they just have the same surname.
"I've been in contact with Theodore Nott all the time, but that guy doesn't care about anything, and he does everything alone—" Speaking of this, Master Malfoy was a little dissatisfied, and his posture was already very low, but Theodore Nott's mouth was almost harder than the stone wall of Hogwarts Castle, and he still didn't get anything out of it until now.
This made Malfoy, who had accepted Sean's mission, feel a little embarrassed, but the all-time focused attention still made him discover the strange situation tonight.
"Theodore Knott and Reinhardt Knott obviously don't know each other, and they are not related by blood, but I just found out that they are secretly in touch."
"Secretly contacting?" Sean blinked, did the two secretly contact?
Malfoy nodded: "They did it very secretly. If I hadn't been paying attention to Theodore, I wouldn't have discovered it."
"When did it start? These two days? Or did it start before?" Sean asked.
"It should have started in the past two days, after Reinhardt Knott was discharged from the hospital—" Malfoy said uncertainly, "If the two of them had been in contact before, I couldn't have noticed..."
Sean nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "What's the specific situation?"
"After dinner, Theodore Nott returned to his dormitory alone as usual. I was planning to follow the past and invite him to join the Pure Blood Society, but before I followed, I lost my vision. I was a little strange, so I hid in the dark. After a while, Theodore Nott suddenly appeared from nowhere. family emblem."
"Family emblem..." Sean narrowed his eyes, which he did not expect.
Could it be that Reinhart Knott is really related to the Knott family in England?
It's a bit weird...
"Shawn, what are we going to do?" Malfoy asked.
After thinking about it for a while, Sean said: "Everything is business as usual, I will find a chance to 'meet' with Theodore Knott."
Malfoy looked a little unwilling, as if he was ashamed to let Sean do it himself, but he finally followed Sean's plan.
Separating from the other party, Sean took out the Marauder's Map and checked it.
After all, the map has limitations. After the students from the other three schools flooded into Hogwarts Castle, the Marauder's Map only shows the students and staff of Hogwarts, and the personnel of the other three schools are not displayed at all, and even some ghosts will not be fully displayed.
Now, Sean basically only uses it to check whether Dumbledore is in the headmaster's office.
Opening the map, the footprints belonging to Theodore Nott were in a corner of the Slytherin common room. The footprints were motionless, as if the other party was resting.
"Tsk, it feels like a trap..." Sean touched his chin.
