In the magic history classroom, there seemed to be a brief silence between the three.
Neville Longbottom looked down at the ground as if there was something on the ground that attracted him; Hermione Granger sat there quietly, with her hands crossed on her lap; as for Matthew Wickfield, he It doesn't seem to be able to fight hard.
"We must do something!" Finally, Neville took the initiative to speak.
"I don't understand." Matthew shrugged: "What do you mean?"
"This is already the fourth attack (actually the third, but Neville mistakenly thought that Malfoy was an attack)!" Neville said in a deep voice, "Everything has shown that Hogwarts is not It's not safe, it can even be said to be very dangerous..."
"...Professor Grindelwald's threats have no effect on the murderer lurking inside Hogwarts; at least judging from Justin's disappearance, his behavior can be said to be almost unscrupulous! Personally, our lives are under threat..."
"...but the teachers at Hogwarts don't care about this at all. They will only cover up the truth in vain until they can't hold it down!"
Navi said a series of words impassionedly:
"So we must save ourselves! We must use our own strength to find the culprit of this series of attacks and find him out..."
"Please allow me to interrupt, Neville." Matthew said softly, "The culprit once knocked down Miss Maria Adams in seventh grade in Slytherin around Halloween... Don't forget. Yes, the three of us are just three first-year students. Even if he is caught out, he will not be his opponent."
Matthew’s words are very sincere, and his voice sounds very convincing.
Naville frowned, obviously he didn't seem to think of it yet.
"At least we can go to the teacher." Hermione on the side suddenly took over the words: "If we find the real murderer, we will find the teacher as soon as possible... At least I think Professor Flitwick will not stand by! "
"Yes." Neville nodded quickly: "Neither will Professor Sinistera."
Matthew suddenly looked distressed: "Well...I think Professor Slughorn...probably, maybe, probably won't stand by!"
"That's fine!" Neville shook his fist triumphantly.
……
Matthew felt that he had to pour cold water on these two friends.
"Even so." He said softly, "We don't have any clues, don't we..."
"Of course I don't have a clue." Neville immediately lowered his head, with a slightly ashamed expression on his face: "To be honest, I'm not stupid, but my brain is not smart..."
Then, he looked at Hermione and Matthew separately with expectation: "But I know, Hermione, Matthew...you are all smarter than me. You must have a clue and a way, right? Help me. Right!"
"..." Matthew didn't know how to respond.
But Hermione on the other side has already spoken: "Yes, I have already suspected!"
"Who is it?" Neville asked excitedly.
"I spoke to Matthew once before, but he didn't believe me at the time..." Hermione squinted at Matthew, then continued:
"When Weasley was attacked, the blood on his body was almost absorbed by something; and Professor Flitwick told me that there was a unicorn in the Forbidden Forest on the second Saturday of school and on the eve of Halloween. The blood was drained...so that the school finally decided to temporarily move all unicorns from Hogwarts to Austria..."
"...I have checked the literature related to vampires. Many vampires have the habit of sucking the blood of powerful magical animals, and the blood of unicorns is even more magical; the appearance of Weasley after being attacked is also related to the encounter. The Muggles of vampires are almost exactly the same..."
"You mean, in Hogwarts castle, there is a vampire now?" Neville looked terrified, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"That's right!" Hermione nodded with a certain face: "And, it is our transfiguration class teacher, Professor Troca!"
"Professor Troca?" Neville's expression looked slightly dull: "How could..."
"Do you still remember what Professor Rozier introduced in the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class about vampires? His appearance is the same as that of Muggles and wizards, but his face is pale and cannot be exposed to sunlight." Hermione said. Very fast speaking:
"Then you think about it again, Professor Troca's usual performance..."
"That's it!" Neville Longbottom suddenly realized: "No wonder I always think Professor Troca is weird..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Matthew said helplessly: "Did you forget a little bit, UUReading www.uukanshu.com can blood, but there are more than vampires...not to mention, there is no evidence. It shows that Professor Troca must be a vampire... Take a step back and say, even if he is really a vampire, there is no evidence that he must have done these things, right?"
Matthew paused and continued to explain: "Professor Troka is a teacher at Hogwarts, teacher!"
"Matthew, you are too naive." Hermione looked at Matthew with a serious face, and said rudely: "You always think that all teachers are saints, but all the evidence now shows that Professor Troka's body The most suspicion..."
was suddenly evaluated as "naive", and Matthew would be a little speechless for a while.
"When Weasley was attacked, he appeared on the scene the first time. Neville told me this." Hermione continued:
"In the potions classroom, it is said that he was also one of the first teachers to appear on the scene; and at the dinner on Halloween, when Professor Keitelburn broke into the auditorium, I paid special attention to the main guest seat. He was not in the auditorium at the time..."
"There is no doubt that Professor Troca is too suspicious!"
……
"Very good!" Neville Longbottom seemed to have made up his mind: "Then we will follow Professor Troca quietly from today until he reveals a flaw!"
Matthew felt that if he didn't say anything, things would develop in a slightly worse direction.
"Actually—" Matthew cleared his throat and said with a serious face: "I think there is another person who is more suspicious than Professor Troka."
"Who is it?" Hermione and Neville asked in unison.
"Our Vice President, Professor Rozier!"
