"Very good story, Miss Lestrants." Snape's face grimaced, his tone full of mockery, "But all this is just your speculation, and there is no evidence. Especially after the mouse that you may have said in your mouth was Peter's gone. ”

Daphany glanced at Snape, but didn't speak. Instead, he looked at Dumbledore on the other side of the room.

That night, Lupin and Daphany agree to inform Blake that his transformation is a big black dog. At the same time, he also confessed that he had actually seen the big black dog that might be Blake many times in the castle. But in the next few days, Daphany and Lupin were never found again. It was as if the guy had completely disappeared.

Another month has passed. Even Daphany was in a hurry. The semester is coming to an end, and I really don't know what will happen until this big plot is over. So, a week before the final exams, Daphany finally came to an agreement with Lupin to report the matter to Dumbledore.

Then things developed into a Hogwarts high-level meeting. It's just that this time is special, and Daphany is also involved.

Dumbledore's office, Daphany wasn't here for the first time, either. It's just that being stared at by the principal and the four deans at the same time, she is still a little uncomfortable.

"Severus, you can't say that." Professor McGonagall spoke, "Miss Lestranz's words make sense just logically. ”

"Miss Lestrantzi's intelligence is something we all know." Snape waved his hand impatiently: "It's not hard for her to make up a story that makes sense. As for the Animagus, sorry, I don't remember Peter, Black, or Potter ever signing up for the Animagus. None of them are here now, and I don't think the Ministry of Magic or the Department of Punishment will take the testimony of a werewolf alone. ”

As Snape said this, his eyes swept over Lupin, his eyes full of contempt. Lupin, on the other hand, looked indifferent, obviously accustomed to this attitude. Snape's eyes could only be lonely.

"Severus, I don't want to hear anything like that in your mouth again." Professor McGonagall looked at Snape sternly, and Professors Flitwick and Sprout looked at Snape equally unkindly.

"Well, I'm emotional and don't use the right words, it's my fault." Even Snape, in the face of the dissatisfaction of the other three deans, could only obediently apologize. But the look in his eyes told everyone that he didn't think he was wrong. There is nothing others can do about it.

"Remus, and Miss Lestranz......" Dumbledore, who had not spoken, spoke, "I would love to believe you, but as Severus said, you really can't produce evidence. Now, unless you can find Peter, the Ministry of Magic will not be able to cancel Black's arrest and arrest. ”

Dumbledore's words responded to Daphany and Remus's proposals. They hoped that Dumbledore would intervene and get the Ministry of Magic to remove Black's wanted and remove the Dementors. Then let Blake come out and explain what happened. Dafanie knew it wasn't possible, but she had to pretend to be naïve, and Lupin knew it was unlikely, but he still wanted to try it for the sake of his old friend. And so it turned out.

However, the two of them had already discussed it in advance, and only revealed that Peter Pettigrew was an Animagus, and they couldn't say that Blake was also an Animagus. Otherwise, God knows if Snape, who had a deep hatred, would have gone into the Forbidden Forest and slaughtered Blake. Black without a wand certainly couldn't be Snape's match.

"All right," said Daphany, rising and bowing to the deans present, "then we'll have to try to find Peter and Blake again." Hopefully before the Dementors. ”

"I'd like to warn Miss Lestranzi," Snape said in a sinister voice, "and your thoughts are just inferences, and if you really face that murderer, I hope things don't turn out too unexpectedly." ”

"Thank you for your advice, Dean." Daphany smiled and nodded, but she was scolding her mother in her heart. No wonder you're an old bat with such a bad character, Lily deserves to dislike you, street boy!

With Daphany leaving, several other deans also left. Only Snape was stopped by Dumbledore.

"Severus, what you said today I think is a little too much, right?" Dumbledore spoke in a deliberative tone.

"If the kind of thing you expected happens, wouldn't that be a foreshadowing?" Snape's tone was even colder than when everyone else had been there before, "Isn't that what you want me to do?" ”

Dumbledore was speechless for a long time before he spoke again, "Speculation about them......"

"I don't care." Snape interrupted Dumbledore rudely, "That has nothing to do with me. I don't know and don't want to know. ”

Dumbledore was speechless again, eventually shaking his head, "Well, Severus, I never could convince you. Go and rest. ”

Snape heard this, stood up, flicked his cloak, and turned to leave the room without saying anything. Dumbledore was the only one left in the room, sitting behind his desk, quietly distracted. Fire Book Bar

On the other side, Daphany, who had left the principal's office, was stopped by Professor McGonagall and taken to the Transfiguration classroom.

Since classes are almost over, especially for fifth and seventh graders who have completed their wizard level exams, the classrooms are empty. Professor McGonagall motioned for Daphany to sit down, made her a cup of tea, and sat down across from her.

Daphany had expected Professor McGonagall to ask about Peter and Blake, but she didn't want it to be the case.

"Miss Lestrants, there's something I think you need to know in advance." Professor McGonagall's tone was unusually gentle, not at all like her usual seriousness. Seeing Daphany's confused face, Professor McGonagall smiled and said, "Next year, there will be a big event in the Academy. ”

"Oh? What is it? Daphany feigned curiosity, but her heart was screaming—Goblet of Fire! She knew that in the fourth year Hogwarts had taken on the Triwizard of Fire. In fact, she has made a lot of preparations for this, not only for the competition, but also for the resurrection of Voldemort, the big stubble that would have been in the middle of the competition.

Much of what Daphany has done so far has been in response to Voldemort's resurrection.

Voldemort's six Horcruxes, she had destroyed a diary. She knows the approximate location of three of the five remaining at the moment.

The Ravenclaw tiara is in the treasure room of the Room of Requirement, and Daphany has found it. But not yet;

Hufflepuff's gold cup is in her mother's Gringotts vault. As Bellatrix's only daughter, Daphany inherited her mother's Gringotts vault. The Golden Cup was also found. In fact, not only the gold cup, but all the contents of Bellatrix's vault were relocated by her to a new vault;

The Slytherin locket is supposed to be in the hands of the Black family's elf Kreacher. Daphne can't get it for the time being, but she can borrow his hand to get it when Blake is free. Again, it's not a big problem.

The remaining two are somewhat problematic.

Although the big snake didn't know where it was, when Voldemort came out, it would naturally follow. It's not bad to deal with.

But the last thing I vaguely remember was a ring, and Daphany couldn't remember where. I only remember that it seems that Dumbledore found it in the fifth or sixth year and destroyed it, and it seems that he lost a hand because of it. Daphine said that the White Wizard was really cheap. But as long as Dumbledore can find it, it's really not good, I can help destroy it! Daphany didn't want the White Wizard to fall too soon, she needed this big umbrella to keep out the wind and rain for a while.

The only thing that was a bit of trouble was the fragment of Harry's soul. Dumbledore set up a big game for this, and finally relied on the combined effect of the guardian magic that Harry's mother blessed him with in his bloodline and the combined effect of the Elder Wand.

However, if Daphany really wants to solve it, it doesn't have to be so troublesome, and Daphany, who has studied ancient magic, has discovered that more than one evil magic that can touch the soul can achieve similar effects. The only thing that constrained her was that the magic was complicated, and she hadn't been able to master it yet. The second is that Harry is not yet sixteen years old, and the guardian magic that his mother blessed him with is also very tricky!

Although there was a lot of thought in her head, Daphne didn't show it on her face. Professor McGonagall was far less proficient in telekinesis than Dumbledore, and certainly couldn't have spied into her mind. Seeing Daphany's inexplicable expression, she smiled and said, "Miss Lestranzie, have you heard of the Triwizard Tournament?" ”

"I've heard that." Daphne nodded, "It's a tournament with a long history, but it doesn't seem to have been held in many years." ”

"Yes, many years." Professor McGonagall smiled and nodded, "I can tell you in advance, though, though it's still a secret. But I guess you'd better know in advance. The Triwizard Tournament is expected to restart next school year. ”

"Oh?" Daphany feigned surprise and excitement. She didn't know how she was acting, but it seemed that Professor McGonagall was happy with her performance.

"You are now recognized as the most powerful student in the Academy. There is a high probability that he will represent the academy next year. For the honor of the House, I would like Miss Lestranzie to accumulate as many magic and spells as she needs this holiday season. If in doubt, I think I, either Professor Flitwick or Professor Snape, would love to hear from you! ”

"Of course, Professor, I'll be very serious." Daphany continued to pretend, but secretly wondered, she remembered that there seemed to be an age limit. Aren't the Weasley twins old enough to participate? I'm worse than that. I thought about it in my heart, but what I said was: "Professor, is this contestant arranged by the college?" Are you sure it's me? He pretended to be very excited.

"Oh. No, there is a process. Professor McGonagall shook her head when she heard this, "But whether it is me or several other professors, I think that with your strength, the probability will be very high." So I hope you prepare in advance. ”

"Okay professor, I'll be well prepared!" Daphne reassured that it would not work if she was well-behaved.
