Chapter 68: April 20 (3rd Update)
Professor McGonagall's office has a large collection of books and other items.
On the right wall, there is an old broomstick, Comet 200.
William carefully looked at the history of the broomstick and remembered that it was a broom that was put on the market in 1940.
It's not an exaggeration to say it's an antique.
This is clearly the broom that Professor McGonagall used when she was on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
Even now, she keeps the broomstick. Next to the broomstick, there is also a poster of the Montrose Magpies.
The Montrose Magpies were once the most successful team in the British and Irish league, winning the UEFA Cup 32 times and the European Cup twice.
The team is long gone, but Professor McGonagall retains her girlhood hobby.
On the wall behind Professor McGonagall, there is a group photograph of a slightly younger McGonagall and a wizard William does not know.
While William was observing his office, Professor McGonagall, who was worried, finally picked up a piece of parchment, wrote a lot of it with a quill, sealed the envelope, and handed it to a white owl in the window.
After pecking McGonagall affectionately, the owl spread its wings and quickly left Hogwarts, disappearing into the sky.
Professor McGonagall held her head, as if she had a headache, she sat down in her chair for a moment, and finally said, "William, I have already written to Professor Dumbledore, and even if he receives it, he will not be able to return until tomorrow morning until he will attend the evening trial." ”
William immediately stopped looking left and right, and nodded honestly.
Professor McGonagall stared at William and continued, "Son, don't tell anyone about what you know today, it may be the lives of three innocent people. ”
The three innocent men were Snape, Hagrid, and Robert.
William knew the severity, he nodded, and said seriously: "Professor, I won't talk to anyone, when Professor Dumbledore returns, please inform me immediately." ”
Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment, glanced at William's index finger ring, and said, "I can't take that ring off either, I think Professor Dumbledore will have a way, you don't have to worry too much." ”
William felt that McGonagall was just comforting him, but he got up and prepared to leave, and as he was about to walk out, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "Professor McGonagall, may I ask?" Why was Professor Snape taken away just because he was suspected of committing a crime? ”
Professor McGonagall hesitated, not knowing whether to tell William or not, and after a moment, she sighed and sighed, "A dark magic wound was found on Tywin's body.
When the Aurors checked his wand with the Flashback Charm, he discovered that it was the magic coming from Professor Snape's wand. ”
No wonder...... It dawned on William.
It appears that Professor Tywin had a conflict with Snape outside of his entry into the Room of Requirement.
So the question arises again, why did the two fight?
William turned to leave, returning to the Ravenclaw common room alone.
Standing at the wooden door, he found that the eagle-shaped bronze knocker was really gone, and in its place, a huge hole.
The students didn't know what was going on, they just thought the knocker had been stolen again, and the deans had asked the four colleges to close the doors of the common room and not go out. Therefore, everyone also ate dinner in various dormitories.
After returning to the dormitory, William only pushed some things and did not answer anyone's questions.
Until late at night, he lay in bed, sipping Bobo tea, while thinking carefully about the day's events.
He had a map of the living spots, and the names of Dumbledore and Snape were still not on it.
Similarly, there are no names of Professors Robert and Tywin.
As the night darkened, William slowly fell asleep, the ring on his index finger glowing royal blue without warning.
In the dark night, like the stars.
Several people and a cat all fell asleep, and no one noticed that a certain dormitory in Ravenclaw was as bright as day.
Deep underground, in the Hogwarts dungeon, the lake rippled in layers, and the golden compass on the shore slowly turned.
I don't know how long it took for everything to calm down again, as if nothing had happened.
Early in the morning, William woke up punctually.
He sat up and looked around, Bobo Tea didn't know where to run, and the ring on his finger reminded him that yesterday's events were not farce.
William rubbed his face, stood up, washed up quickly, rolled up the map of the living spots, and put it in his pocket, ready to go to Cedric.
When he left the dormitory and entered the common room, he was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him.
Many young wizards were gathering together to discuss the Quidditch final, and it seemed as if there would be a rematch today.
William frowned, and in the crowd, found Qiu.
The girl was sitting on the couch, fiddling with a hat with a Hufflepuff badger on it.
She carried her wand and tried to use Transfiguration to get the little badger moving, no doubt...... Failed.
William sat down next to him and asked in a low voice, "Autumn, what's the matter, didn't Professor Flitwick inform him of the cancellation of the finals?" ”
Cho was stunned, poked his wand, and the hat flew out and smashed into Marietta's head.
"The final is canceled, who did you listen to? Professor Flitwick didn't notice. ”
Marietta put her hat on her head, and she laughed loudly: "William, are you sleeping, today is the final, how can it be canceled?"
Well, you can still see the Quidditch pitch from here, you see! ”
Following Marietta's gaze, through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the Ravenclaw Tower, William saw the Quidditch arena in the distance.
Hagrid was carrying the microphone and preparing to be placed on the podium, while Mrs. Hooch checked the venue's security.
Professor McGonagall stood in front of the Gryffindor audience, wand in hand, designing a roaring lion.
Something must be wrong!
William froze in place, and after half a ring, he asked in hindsight: "How many numbers are there today?" “
"April 20th." Autumn said.
No, yesterday was April 20th, and today should be the 21st!
William hurriedly took out the map of the living spots, and after saying the secret order, a large number of names were displayed on it.
His heart was beating violently, as if it was about to explode in his chest.
On the map, he saw Robert's name at the door of the lounge; See Professor Tywin in his office; saw Dumbledore; Saw Snape......
William was utterly messy.
