Snape frowned slightly when he heard Seans words, Are you that skilled, Wallup?
The corners of Seans eyes twitched, Leave that aside for a mont, professor. Did you check his wand with a Reverse Spell Effect Charm?
If there was sothing wrong with Dawson, there must be sothing wrong with his wand. Sean had been noticed before, but Lavender did not have this kind of strength, proving that the lurker must have been there.
If that person was really Dawson, to deal with Snapes investigation, he forgot his mory and weaved a new one in a short ti.
mory checks are cumberso, but using Prior Incantato to check wands is much more convenient.
Snape glanced at him, Do you think I wouldnt know about such a basic inspection? His wand is normal and shows only Lumos and several other common spells.
The wand is normal. Sean frowned.
Could it be that he was overly suspicious? However, the possibility of Dawson having a spare wand cannot be ruled out.
Wheres his place? Is there anything out of the ordinary, like another wand or an empty glass bottle or sothing?
Everything is normal. Snape said coldly.
The easiest place to hide things in Hogwarts is the Room of Requirent, but the Room of Requirent is Seans territory. As for other places, Dawson is secretly watched by ghosts in the castle most of the ti, except for his own room, but his room is normal, too.
This lurker has tried their best to control the students with the Imperius Curse and has made many thorough preparations. On the one hand, he does not want to expose himself. On the other hand, he had to send ssages to the outside world about the prophecy made by Trelawney.
However, the mory bottles that Trelawney extracted were not found with Dawson. Regardless of whether the lurker is Dawson or not, this person dared to use the Imperius Curse at Hogwarts.
Because a student has been used for a long ti and has experienced frequent erasure of mory, their state will definitely be different later. If Sean hadnt happened to bump into them tonight, Lavender and the others anomalies would not have been discovered.
Also, how did that opal necklace that nearly killed Parvati get into the schools grounds?
New teaching assistants have to go through strict inspections when they enter the school, and sothing tampering with their mory cannot be detected. Sean narrowed his eyes slightly. That lurker must have a way to communicate with the outside world and even send items.
It took only a mont to think like this. Sean raised his head, searched around, and found his target.
He moved naturally to the side of the pearly white ghost, Hey, Sir Nicholas, how are you doing?
Headless Nick smiled after hearing Seans words, and proudly puffed out his chest, Very well, it is an honor for a man to serve Hogwarts.
Sean set up a barrier and asked straight to the point, Nick, you are in charge of coordinating the inspection of the new teaching assistant, right?
Oh, yes, Professor McGonagall has entrusted with this task, and I will not disappoint her. By the way, dont you call Sir? Headless Nick was fiddling with his head.
Listen, Sir Nicholas, I need you to tell what Max Dawson has been doing these days.
Whats going on? Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape have already asked , everything is normal. Nick said.
No, describe it to in detail.
Nick thought while playing with his head, According to the professors instructions, the ghosts should monitor his usual travels, except when he returns to his room. Most of the ti, in his spare ti, he stays in his room or the staff lounge. I was looking through the wall by the fireplace last ti you were talking to him.
What about his usual travel route?
His usual route is also normal; he basically went to offices, classrooms, the library, the lounge, the Great Hall, and the bathrooms, and occasionally went to the library. Oh, Mr. Dawson often disapproves of Hogwarts things, but in my opinion, he is still very polite, and he would not go out to find any secret rooms in Hogwarts.
From this point of view, everything is normal.
Headless Nick continued, Oh, by the way, hes been to Hogsade a few tis.
Hogsade? What has he been doing?
Oh, nothing much, Sean. Mr. Dawson behaved normally when he went to Hogsade. After all, students are not allowed to go to Hogsade now, and he has been going there as a teacher recreation. All he does is get so butterbeer and buy so candy or clothes.
When was the last ti he visited there?
Oh, I know that very well. It happened that I followed him secretly that ti. Headless Nick puffed out his chest proudly. Just the day before yesterday, he went to Hogsade in the evening.
The day before yesterday. The suspicion that Sean had just dispelled suddenly resurfaced. Its hard not to be suspicious at this point in ti.
Explain in more detail, Nick.
Its Sir Nicholas, Sean Nick corrected him and then said, It must have been about five oclock in the afternoon, and he ca out of his room to relax.
Along the way, he t a few students and greeted them. When he left the school gate, he t Hagrid. The two exchanged a few words. After arriving in Hogsade, hesitating for a while between the Three Broomsticks Inn and Madam Puddifoots Tea Shop, I finally chose Three Broomsticks Inn, which happened to et Professor Trelawney.
Sean frowned.
Nick continued, The two of them didnt look very familiar, greeted, and walked into the Inn together. Professor Trelawney ca out first, and after a while, Mr. Dawson also ca out. Oh, he also t Professor Lockhart after he ca out. Fortunately, Mr. Dawson didnt go to Madam Puddifoots Tea Shop. Thats where Lockhart ca. If he went there, he would have to endure that guys bragging story.
Wait, wait, Sean quickly interrupted Nicks comnt, What happened in the Inn? Mr. Dawson and Professor Trelawney, what happened to them in the Three Broomsticks Inn?
I dont know. Headless Nick spread his hands.
Sean was taken aback for a mont. He and the professors had forgotten one thing. Ghosts can only wander around where they have been before. Headless Nick died more than five hundred years ago. Although Hogsade existed, the Three Broomsticks Inn doesnt exist yet.
Nick said, There were no bars and teahouses when I was alive. I couldnt get in, so I could only watch the outside part. I could have gone there if only he had gone to the Hogs Head Bar, which had just been established when I was alive. You cant even imagine how bright the place was in there at um, Sean?
Nick looked at Sean suspiciously. He leaned his head against the wall, thinking about sothing, and said nothing.
In Hogsade, on the cobblestone road, Seans figure was revealed with a twist of the air. He had to co to the Three Broomsticks Inn to see the situation, so he left a clone on the spot and teleported to Hogsade.
Sean sighed, hid his figure, and pushed open the door of the Three Broomsticks Inn.
Welco. Are there still so people this late? Huh? Rosrta looked suspiciously at the door of her bar, which was pushed open and closed, and there was no one there.
Is it just a wind? In doubt, she put down the wine glass in her hand and went to the door to check with drunken eyes.
Sean behind her has narrowed his eyes.
Maam, can you tell what happened to Dawson and Professor Trelawney? Sean directly revealed his figure.
His appearance didnt shock Rosrta. On the contrary, these words seed to trigger a switch, and her eyes beca even more dull.
Sure enough, her mory was also tampered with.
Rosrta was confused for a while, and pulled out her wand and pointed it at Sean, Avad-
A red light hit her body. Sean waved his wand and restrained Rosrta. The Imperius Curse can only be solved by soone whos an expert, and he cant do anything now.
He turned around and searched the bar. Finally, Sean finds sothing amiss in Rosrtas bedroom: extra wands that were well hidden. Sean tested them one by one with Prior Incantanto.
Many spells relating to controlling a person and tampering with the clues were listed. There is even a spell that Sean has never seen before, but it should be used to send a ssage.
Sean took a deep breath. The lurker controlled Madam Rosrta and used her to communicate with the outside world.
Dawson is the culprit.
Sean didnt hesitate any longer; he directly used a spell to hide Rosrta and used the teleport spell again to return to Hogwarts. Sean had been leaning against the stone wall, slowly raising his head and opening his eyes.
At this ti, the students had already gathered at one side of the hall, and they were going to sleep there tonight. Dawson, who had just been cleared of suspicion, was talking with the others.
Sean walked to Professor McGonagall and said in a deep voice, Max Dawson is not clean, the information given by Nick has so flaws, and the Imperius Curse controls Madam Rosrta.
What?! The shock in Professor McGonagalls eyes flashed, but she controlled her expression and didnt even glance at Dawson.
Professor, you must get him. But there are too many students here. Find an excuse and ask a few teaching assistants to check on the situation outside. I will try to subdue him imdiately. If the sneak attack fails, call the professors.
No problem. Professor McGonagall nodded.
Professor McGonagall called several teaching assistants.
Max, Charlotte, Sterling, and you, Sean. Go and see the situation at the gate. I think sothing is wrong with the dentors tonight. Sean, if the situation is okay, please inform the prefects and council for .
Okay, no problem. Sean nodded.
Several people walked towards the outside of the castle.
Sean walked beside Dawson; he smiled wryly as he walked and said in a sympathetic tone, Max, you did well lately.
He smiled and shook his head, No way, I can only help a little. To be honest, I dont even know what happened tonight.
Sean lowered his voice, Soone infiltrated into Hogwarts, controlled the students with the Imperius Curse, and tried to steal sothing. After all, you are the new teaching assistant, so its normal.
Dawson opened his mouth wide in surprise and sighed again, That professor made drink Veritaserum
The conversations seed normal. Dawson weaved his mory, and what he said now was what he thought.
But Dave has been telling Sean, There is sothing wrong with his brain. It seems to have suddenly changed.
Sure enough, he set a mory switch for himself.
Several people had already reached the empty square. Sean held up his wand and stretched his waist, What ti is it?
Charlotte and Sterling, who had been arguing quietly behind them, received the signal, and the quarrel suddenly beca louder, and the two fought each other.
Sterling, what do you an?!
Miss Hawke, please watch your words.
The two drew their wands directly.
Dawson turned around, You two, please stop arguing during these tis.
Seans eyes suddenly turned cold, and his wand was aid directly at Dawson. Before a spell could be cast, in an instant, a power that made Seans heart waver appeared.
