Chapter 272 Banban
In the principal's office.
Ryan and Flitwick actually saw Kingsley and Arthur from the Ministry of Magic.
"Long time no see, you two," Flitwick said as he stepped forward.
"Mr. Kingsley, it's been a while since we parted ways at Gringotts. I didn't expect to see you again so soon," Ryan greeted him.
Harry was there too!
Ryan sensed something was wrong. He strongly suspected that Harry's recent actions had displeased Dumbledore, so he was going to hold a three-way trial to properly deal with the culprit who had led Harry astray.
Harry has been making headlines lately, and Lane has no idea what Harry actually understood back then, what kind of trauma Harry suffered later, or how Lockhart, who was terrified, came up with the idea for Harry.
In short, Harry, dressed in overalls and Muggle-style clothes, transformed and began chanting on the screen.
For example, Lockhart's own play, "The Death of Voldemort," garnered widespread attention.
The dialogue in the play was so awkward that it could make you want to dig out a huge villa after listening to it, but the novelty of the format made the wizards eventually realize that the dialogue wasn't so bad.
Ryan also watched some clips on the communicator, including a passionate scene between Harry, dressed in Muggle clothes, and Filch, who volunteered to play Voldemort.
"Voldemort," dressed in a flamboyant, distinctive wizard-influenced Muggle style, brandishing a skull, said: "Oh, Pott, my destined nemesis, you're doomed! My powerful magic will crush you, leaving not even ashes!"
After seeing this version of Voldemort, even Ryan wanted to exonerate him. Voldemort's crimes didn't warrant such treatment. Voldemort always killed with gusto, meticulously leaving his victims with a complete corpse. Furthermore, Voldemort would never use such a greasy tone before committing a murder.
Voldemort's ability to curse anyone he dislikes to death is a quality that embodies "decisiveness and ruthlessness." Unfortunately, he is not the protagonist, and the wizarding world is not known for its dark and brutal themes.
Harry's behavior reminded Lane of the classic scene—"Stop fighting!"
But no matter how awkward the scene was, it was very popular in the wizarding world, and almost every wizard had seen it.
Now, perhaps even the Ministry of Magic feels that it's inappropriate to let the mighty savior Harry Potter do such a thing, and then Harry confessed—Ryan racked his brains, starting to think about how to turn black into white.
But what followed had nothing to do with Harry's actions, and instead gave him a real fright.
"A message has come from the fairy settlement that their High Elder Bowers has been confirmed dead today."
Kingsley, expressionless, read the sent document: "When Bowles left the goblin settlement, he claimed he was going to Hogwarts to visit Professor Flitwick and others he hoped to help. However, according to the Ministry of Magic's investigation, none of the other individuals were visited by Bowles, so Director Arthur and I have come to inquire about the situation."
He could only remain expressionless, after all, what kind of person was Flitwick!
He was a professor at Hogwarts, the headmaster of Ravenclaw House, and Ryan Welsh's first teacher.
If it weren't for his duty, he would never have come to Hogwarts to say such a thing. He would have preferred to suppress the matter and pretend that nothing had happened, and that it didn't matter whether Bowles lived or died.
After all, what if they find something they shouldn't have found?
"That old vixen is dead?"
Ryan's surprised expression seemed to confirm that he was unaware of this.
Kingsley followed up, saying, "Who knows? The goblins are adamant that their Grand Elder is dead. So we had no choice but to come and ask."
Arthur didn't believe at all that this had anything to do with Hogwarts: "Now that we've found out, let's go back to the Ministry of Magic and tell the goblin representatives to think of another way."
"Ryan, what do you think about this?"
Dumbledore asked.
"I don't know, I'm surprised, and I'm worried," Ryan replied.
Seeing that the two representatives from the Ministry of Magic didn't quite understand, he explained, "Leaving aside whether I had the motive to do it, if I were to kill an old goblin, I wouldn't need to hide it. However, judging from the goblins' comments, perhaps he really did die on the Hogwarts campus—that's what I fear and worry about."
Kingsley agreed. Back in Gringotts, he had personally witnessed Ryan neglecting the lives of the goblins, and those goblins who were always criticizing everything didn't dare to point their fingers at Ryan for not rescuing them immediately.
"Something's wrong with Hogwarts! How could this be? Mr. Dumbledore is here!"
Arthur was speechless.
"I think we need to be clear, Arthur. I'm just an ordinary old wizard."
Dumbledore laughed. He was much more relieved to be certain that Ryan wasn't behind it. His biggest worry was that Ryan would suddenly be blinded by his status and praise.
He said to Harry, "We've all been busy lately. We might not have noticed all the strange things happening at school. So, Harry, have you noticed anything odd?"
"Strange things really do happen."
Harry had been called over and was about to tell Dumbledore about the strange things he had encountered.
"Here's the thing, Ron discovered this semester that his pet Scabbers is being very unruly, often wandering around the school. One night, I followed Scabbers with him, but we lost him. George and Fred happened to be out at night too, and they, along with the Ravenclaws who were passing by, helped us look for him."
All I can say is that Harry truly lives up to his reputation as someone who has mastered Voldemort's power; he only mentioned one strange thing, yet he managed to reveal that a group of people were out at night, violating school rules.
Mr. Weasley, who was standing nearby, heard that all three of his children were among them, and he was just short of pulling out his belt and heading straight for the Gryffindor common room.
"Those twins, you and Ron, and some Ravenclaws. What an interesting combination. What's next?"
"We couldn't find Scabbers anywhere after that. Finally, as if they had made up their minds, George and Fred showed us a precious magical item."
Harry recalled the scene from that night.
The search was fruitless.
Ravenclaw and Beauxbatons, who was mixed in with Ravenclaw, were already planning to go to the library.
At this moment, George and Fred exchanged a glance and took a deep breath: "We obtained this thing with Ryan's guidance. It came from the help of a friend."
"So it's only right to use this treasure to help friends."
The two men pulled out a piece of parchment from their pockets as if they were cutting flesh and bones.
Then they encountered magical items beyond their comprehension.
Accompanied by a voice saying, "I solemnly swear that I will not do good deeds."
A person's name is displayed on the map.
"Later on, we searched the entire Marauder's Map but couldn't find any information about Scabbers. Ron kept insisting that Scabbers wasn't included in the Marauder's Map."
A look of confusion flashed in Harry's eyes.
"But while we were arguing, Banban's name mysteriously appeared again. We followed her all the way to the bathroom where Myrtle was and saw a rat crawling outwards. That rat was Banban. But when Banban saw us, it went crazy and scurried back into the pipes."
