"What are you calling me out in such a hurry?" Hermione's face was full of curiosity, she had just gone to the library after class and had not written a word when she was pulled out by a mysterious-looking Ryan, and then they came to a corridor where no one was around.

"I've noticed a suspicion in the previous two attacks. Ryan said, and Hermione immediately perked up when she heard this. "You've found something suspicious? That's great, can you tell me what you've found?"

"Three broomsticks tavern. "Ryan didn't sell off. "Katie was attacked in the toilet of the Three Broomsticks Tavern, and the bottle of mead came from the Three Broomsticks Tavern. ”

"You mean someone is manipulating the Three Broomsticks Tavern? Hermione pondered for a moment. "Although the person in the three broomsticks is very mixed, it is at least easier to catch that person than to look aimlessly now. ”

"We can narrow down our suspicions even further. Ryan added. "If attacking Katie in the bathroom is something anyone who enters a bar can do, it's not that easy to poison the wine. At least the vast majority of people who enter a bar to drink are unlikely to have access to the liquor that is going to be sent elsewhere. ”

This narrows the suspicion to the staff at the bar, the people who bring the wine into Hogwarts, and the regulars of the Three Broomsticks pub, where there are very few to enter the cellar. Hermione reacted, "It's not like we're in the fourth year and you're being impersonated in a bar, right?"

"Or the Imperius Curse, or maybe even having to do it because a loved one has been kidnapped. Ryan then added. "I think even if we find the person behind the attack, we probably won't catch the real culprit, there are so many suspicious ways wizards use to control a person. ”

"Okay, don't worry about it. Seeing that Hermione was lost in thought after hearing her words, Ryan interrupted, "The next thing is not for us to have a headache, we just need to report this to the headmaster, and Headmaster Dundedo will naturally have a way to solve the current problem." Even if I can't catch the real culprit, I think I can stop the attack. ”

In fact, just as he said, after Lane and the others sent a thick letter of analysis to the headmaster with an owl, the next day there was news circulating in the school that Mrs. Rosmerta had to go to St. Mungo to recuperate due to a sudden illness.

"That means Three Broomsticks may need to be closed for a while lately, which sounds terrible. As we ate lunch, Seamus gave his opinion at the table.

"But it has nothing to do with us. Dean said frustratedly. "Because I've heard that our Hogsmeade Days have been canceled indefinitely until the situation is uncertain. ”

"Ahh Whether it's two consecutive attacks on the Gryffindor Quidditch team or an indefinite pause for Hogsmeade Day, all of this is pretty bad for everyone.

On the morning of the Hufflepuff match, Ron was finally cleared to leave the hospital, and with Lavender's help, he slowly walked out of the school hospital, just in time to meet Ryan and Hermione, who had come to greet him in the hallway.

"Harry and Ginny were going to pick you up, but you knew they were going to have a match. So the two of us had a hard time trying to get them to the court, and you wouldn't blame us for that, would you?" Ryan explained.

'Of course I can understand that this game is very important. Especially now McLagan, who is always teaching others, thinks he can be better than the rest of us in any position. I can't imagine how someone like this guy who doesn't work well with his teammates can play this game-"

The more Ron spoke, the more agitated he became, and soon a red cloud appeared on his cheeks. Seeing this, Lavender immediately squeezed his hand vigorously, interrupting his tirade. "While Madam Pomfrey thinks you're recovered, she doesn't think you should get too excited during this time. She even told me that you should never watch this game. ”

"Ryan, is there any way you can get me to watch this game?" Ron looked at Ryan pitifully, but Ryan was unmoved. "What you need now is recuperation, and if you don't want to leave any after-effects, I'd suggest you'd better listen honestly to Madam Pomfrey. ”

The four of them walked through the uninhabited corridor. The whole school was out, either sitting in the stadium or walking there. So the hallway seemed empty, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps around the corner in front of it.

Ryan looked warily into the corner where the voice came from, and it turned out that Malfoy was walking towards them, followed by two junior Slytherin girls, one of whom had a gloomy face.

After seeing Ryan and the others, Malfoy suddenly stopped, but he didn't provoke them with bloodlines and other reasons as usual, just a short dry laugh and continued on his way.

"Where are you going?" asked Ron aloud.

"Ah, pure-blood traitor's child. Malfoy sneered, "I don't think there's anything to report to you, you should have just come out of the school hospital, right?" ”

One girl forced a laugh, but the faces of the others were tense. Ron looked furious, as if he was going to punch Malfoy, but Raven stopped him.

Probably because of Lavender, Ron doesn't struggle anymore. Malfoy walked past them with his head held high like a victorious general, and the two girls trotted to keep up with him, turning the corner and disappearing.

After making sure that Malfoy and the others were gone, Ron suddenly turned his head and whispered to Ryan, "Didn't Harry tell us what Malfoy was doing sneaking around? Otherwise, he wouldn't have wandered around the castle with two people when the whole school was out to watch the game. So can you two follow them and see what the hell Malfoy is up to?"

"Absolutely. Ryan nodded, "But you have to make sure you don't go to the field, I don't want to hear that you're being sent to the school hospital again." ”

"On behalf of my mother, I promise that I will go back to the common room and rest and that I will never step out of the castle during this game. Ron raised a hand and swore solemnly, after which he lowered his hand and said, "Follow him quickly, or you will be lost in a moment." ”

"Don't worry, I'll watch Ronald. Lavender assured him, and Ryan and Hermione nodded to them before chasing them around the corner where Malfoy had just disappeared.

Malfoy was cautious, even if there was no one in the castle at this time, he went around in many circles, and finally disappeared completely in an empty hallway, which made Ryan and Hermione lose their target.

"What's going on?" asked Hermione to Ryan after asking about several of the portraits on the wall.

"I guess they have some magic items that can be invisible, and they came to this hallway to get rid of the school's surveillance completely. It seems that Malfoy is indeed plotting something against Hogwarts. Ryan said, turning his head.

"So what do we do now?" asked Hermione, who had thought that no one in the castle would be a good opportunity to stop Malfoy, but she didn't expect Malfoy to use other means to escape.

"I'll have to wait for the next opportunity. Ryan shrugged, anyway, when he went to the Room of Requirement to check the Vanishing Cabinet, he found that Malfoy was indeed repairing this thing, but it was still a long time before it was repaired, and they had enough time to investigate. Not to mention that Ryan's hands and feet and traps on the vanishing cabinet had not been triggered before, which meant that even if Malfoy had an idea to repair the vanishing cabinet, it would not cause much harm to the school.

That's why Ryan didn't report it directly, he preferred that the vanishing cabinet would surprise those intruders.
