Chapter Eighty-Four: The Missing Body

Ginny wept and honestly licked Sephiroth's shoes with her pink tongue.

When it was over, Ginny looked up, as if urging him to help her get through it. She had already abandoned too much to avoid being imprisoned in Azkaban, and if Sephiroth said he was just joking, I'm afraid Ginny would have the heart to kill him.

……

Half an hour later, Ginny returned to her room in a daze, not even going to dinner. Her face was pale, and she heard from her roommates afterwards that they were so frightened that they almost wanted to take her to Madam Pomfrey for examination.

Seamus Finigan's body and related evidence were disposed of by Sephiroth, who promised that as long as Ginny herself did not say anything, she would never be found. Ginny had no choice but to believe that what he said was true.

She waited, and waited for a few days for Seamus Finigan's friends to find out that something was wrong, waiting for the news of Seamus Finigan's disappearance.

Ginny knew that from now on she would never be her again, she was just a pet dog at the feet of the man who stood tall above her.

Only by currying favor with him and serving him can she continue to live her present life instead of being sent to Azkaban in the cold eyes of her family and others.

She threw herself on the bed and buried her face in a pillow, tears silently soaking the sheets.

Friends were talking and laughing around her, and if it was usual, then she should be one of them. But now, she feels as if there is an invisible gap between her and the other party, and she can no longer blend into that simple shijie.

Burdened with sins, is she really qualified to stay in this place?

If her sins were exposed, Gryffindor would no longer be able to tolerate herself, and she had come in with great difficulty.

Such a timid self, such an assertive self, would actually be in the same house as the Harry Potter who saved Shijie, could it be that the Sorting Hat was confused.

Ginny was thinking, and the hunger in her belly kept her focused.

On the other hand, Sephiroth, who had helped Ginny dispose of the body and the scene of the crime, was in good spirits, and he staggered slowly to the dining room, knowing that Draco would help him keep his share of dinner.

Whether it was murder or a bloody corpse, it was impossible for it to affect his appetite. He had seen a lot of things that were more disgusting and disgusting than this, in his memory.

"Are you in a good mood?"

Draco raised an eyebrow.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he could see that Sephiroth was indeed very happy now, even if he didn't use the mirror, Sephiroth knew that the corners of his mouth were curling a little. Thinking about what he's learned today will make him laugh for days.

"Yes, indeed, there is nothing more pleasant than watching a pure lamb fall into darkness."

Sephiroth straightened his robes and sat down next to Draco, as he began to enjoy his mashed potatoes.

"Oh? It sounds like you're doing something again, be careful, the professor has been keeping a hard eye on us lately. ”

Seeing the other man's eyebrows fluttering, Draco reminded in distress.

"Don't worry, it's not what I did, I'm just a spectator - a pure spectator."

With Sephiroth's actions, even if the professor finds out, at most she can only blame her for the crime of concealment without reporting, so is there really such a crime in the wizarding world?

Even Sephiroth was only kind enough to point out the corpse, and it was Ginny himself who did it, and what could Dumbledore blame him for.

Instigation?

If there is such a crime, the most deserving punishment should be Dumbledore himself.

"Looks like what's going on again, right? This year's Hogwarts has been a lot of fun. Headache, why is our student life so difficult, can't we be as safe and sound as our predecessors, and beat the Gryffindor children! ”

Sensing the malice in Sephiroth's words, Draco slapped his forehead in chagrin.

"Who told us that our lives were not good, but we just caught up with this age to enter school. With the great savior, don't think about any peace. ”

Flipping his fork twice on the plate, Sephiroth frowned and put the salad and cream he didn't really like into his mouth.

Everything at Hogwarts revolves around Harry Potter, and strictly speaking, it's almost just a grind for his experience. Lucky for Harry, his school life was wonderful, but not necessarily fun for the rest of the people who went to school with him.

Draco opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, it was true that something unpleasant was always going on around Harry Potter, it was as if there was a hand in the dark that was playing with fate.

Dinner was over, and Sephiroth had not seen Ginny in the dining room all the time, and it seemed that she had not been hit again, and it was not known if the professor would see that something was wrong.

The next day, a heavy vibe enveloped Gryffindor's common room.

A boy rushed in, shouting, "No, I haven't seen him anywhere." How's it going over there? ”

"It's the same on our side, no one has seen him since we parted yesterday at noon."

Someone answered, but it was not good news.

"Nowhere to be found, where the hell did he go?"

"I don't know if we should find more people."

A few of the boys were talking anxiously in the common room.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys?"

Harry and Ron walked over, looking at the students with some strange surprises.

"Haven't you found it yet? The disappearance of Seamus Finigan in our dormitory, are you friends like this? ”

Dean Thomas shouted angrily.

"Seamus? What happened to Seamus, he's missing? How can it be! ”

Harry's mouth was wide open, the events that had been happening one after another these days had left him with no other energy to pay attention to other things.

"Well, we've been looking for him all morning, and these friends say they haven't seen him."

It was all his friends who were there, and when he wanted to go to breakfast with Seamus in the morning, he found that the guy was gone.

"What? It's only been one morning! Maybe he's just looking for a place to be quiet - well, everyone wants to be alone sometimes, doesn't he? ”

Ron stammered a little.

"It's not a morning! He didn't come back last night, and it's been almost a day now. When Zuihou met him, it was still yesterday at lunch. ”

Seamo's friend said angrily, he didn't even know that a friend in the dormitory didn't go back for a night, is it really a friend?

"The castle is so big, maybe he's just hiding somewhere and doesn't want to come out, maybe you've all been looking for it?"

Harry didn't want to believe that his friends in the same dorm had disappeared without a trace, and he hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary.

If Harry had a map of the living spot at this time, he might have been able to find out where Seamus was at once, but unfortunately Sephiroth had been given the first place to have that valuable map.

"Hey! What are you doing, getting together - is it a secret meeting between boys? If you don't mind, would you like to add me one? ”

Hermione came out of the girls' lounge and bumped into the crowd who had almost gotten into a crowd in the common room.

"Oh, it's great you're here. Listen to me, Seamus Finigan of our dormitory seems to be missing, and they searched for him all morning without finding him. ”

Ron took a deep breath as if he had seen a savior, and poked it all out at once.

Actually, it's much better to have Hermione, who was obviously several times more resourceful than them, to help them figure it out than arguing here.

"Missing? What's going on? ”

Hermione's face immediately turned serious, she now looked like Professor McGonagall from her youth. But at this time, she did calm the hearts of Harry and Ron a lot.

"God, I don't know, as soon as we came out, we found them in a mess, and when we asked, we realized what was going on."

Ron pointed to Seamus Finigan's friends.

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

Hermione looked at each other solemnly, and under Hermione's aura, several Gryffindor wizards suddenly explained everything.

"That means you haven't seen Seamus Finigan since noon yesterday, and Dean hasn't seen him go back to bed yesterday, or at breakfast this morning, right? You've searched all the castles, but you haven't found them, so why don't you inform the professor quickly! ”

Hermione rubbed her temples, it had been almost a day, and if he had been attacked by the heirs, it would have been time for someone to find his petrified body.

If it wasn't attacked by the heirs, the biggest possibility was that Seamus Finigan himself ran to a place that no one else knows, there are many secret passages and secret rooms in the castle, and no one knows if Seamus Finigan is hiding somewhere.

"yes, we should inform the professor quickly!"

Dean slapped his thigh and rushed out of the Gryffindor common room to find Professor McGonagall.

"Smack!"

The door to the principal's office was pushed open.

"Arbus, a student is missing, do you have any way to confirm where he is?"

McGonagall hurried in, and she had done her best for her students.

"Don't get excited, speak slowly. What's wrong? ”

Even Dumbledore wasn't omniscient, he didn't even know what was going on.

"There's a student who has gone missing, and he's not seen for a day. I have mobilized the student to look for him, but I can't find him anywhere. Could it be a new attack? ”

McGonagall calmed down, if something was going to happen by now, it would have happened a long time ago, and she was not in a hurry for a few minutes.

"If it was an attack, we should have found him by now, and the heirs wouldn't have moved the petrified students away."

Dumbledore's first thought was "impossible", no one knew better than him who the heir was, and the resurgence of the Death Eaters meant that he had been resurrected and was out again. When Azkaban had an accident, he guessed that the Heir must have left Hogwarts, otherwise he wouldn't have let the professor give up patrolling.
