Chapter 558: Missing

After dinner, Zhang Xu returned to Hogwarts.

At this time, it was not early, and there were no more students wandering around in the castle, and if you wanted to come out and walk, you had to fight with Filch.

Not long after Zhang Xu walked up the stairs, he saw two students hurriedly running past him and upstairs, these two students seemed to be in a hurry, and they didn't notice him at all when they passed by Zhang Xu, and soon after, Filch's shout came from a distance.

As Filch's cries faded away, silence fell back into the castle.

After leaving the stairs, Zhang Xu walked to a corridor. The moment he stepped into the corridor, the corridor that was originally pitch black and could not be reached out of sight was suddenly illuminated by the candlelight coming from the candlestick on the wall.

Shortly after the start of the school year, a group of students submitted a proposal to Professor McGonagall to upgrade the lighting system at Hogwarts Castle. In the plan, the candles used for lighting in the castle were replaced with special candles with higher brightness, and then a magic was set so that the candles in the menorah would automatically light up only when a person walked by.

Professor McGonagall approved the proposal without much thought, and it took the students a month to complete the lighting in the hallways and staircases in the castle.

In this way, the students are usually happy, but the students who play hide and seek with Filch at night are tragic.

Over the years, Hogwarts students have renovated the castle in various ways.

On the fifth floor, an empty classroom has now been turned into a small gym with all the necessary organs. The gym was built by a Muggle family of students who sold sports equipment, and his ambition was to sell his family's unsalable fitness equipment to wizarding families.

There are many Muggle-born students with the same ambitions, but because Hogwarts cannot use electronic devices, most students who want to start a business in Hogwarts want to cry without tears.

However, not all plans for renovations, renovations, and stealth ventures are approved by the principal.

For example, the most ambitious is a student surnamed Rouse, who originally planned to open a car experience hall on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, promised to provide huge sponsorships to Hogwarts every year, and hired Hogwarts professors to form a team to participate in the development of the car. After much deliberation, Dumbledore returned the plan on the grounds that the time had not come.

Another example is a student's plan to build a standard-size swimming pool behind the castle, which was immediately crushed in both Dumbledore's time and McGonagall's time, even if the student offered to sell a swimsuit that would not make half of the profit.

The second time was choked to death, it was Zhang's plan to install an escalator in the castle, which Zhang said he did not understand.

Unlike the deserted corridors, the common room of the Eagle Courtyard is quite lively tonight, perhaps because it is the weekend.

A few students gathered around the table tennis table and used their magic wands to control the rackets to play the ball, and in order to prevent the students from slipping their hands and causing the table tennis balls or rackets to fly out and hit people, a circle of nets conjured by Transfiguration was erected around the table.

Elsewhere in the common room, students gather in groups to chat, or sit alone on the couch reading a book, and plug their ears with spells if they are noisy.

"Here, maple syrup muffin pudding."

Zhang Xu put a piece of pudding that he had packed from the café in the afternoon on the table in front of Luna, who was reading a book.

Anthony, who was sitting behind Zhang Xu, saw that there was something to eat, pulled Zhang Xu's robe, and then stretched out his palm to him.

"Those who see have a share." ×3

(´_ゝ`)づ⌕⌕⌕

Then Zhang Xu threw three blood lollipops to them.

Although he still has two pieces of pudding, it is impossible to take them out, what if there is a play of "two puddings killing three students" staged in the common room?

At this moment, a guardian meow broke into the common room and came to Zhang Xu.

"Go to the principal's office right away." Professor McGonagall's voice can be heard from the Patronus Meow.

Zhang Xu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to the principal's office. When he went to the principal's office, he found it full. In addition to Lupin, the three deans were there, in addition to the professors and staff such as Hagrid, Blake, Scarlett and Moody, and Filch, as well as the two students who had just been in a hurry.

Everyone present looked a little anxious, and the portraits of the previous headmasters on the wall were all talking to each other except Dumbledore, who was still dozing off.

Zhang Xu sat down next to Scarlett, and then asked Professor McGonagall, "Professor, what's wrong?" ”

Before Professor McGonagall could answer, the Fat Friar, the headless Nick, and Peeves entered the office through the wall.

"We searched in the Forbidden Forest, but we didn't find her." The Fat Friar said to Professor McGonagall.

Nick took his head as a hat, saluted, and said, "We didn't find her in the lake either." ”

Peeves flipped up and down in the air as he said, "I don't see that poor girl in the secret passage, she may have been blown to ashes by the mushrooms!" ”

Peeves flew out through the window.

Peeves had just disappeared when Lupin walked in with Neville's father, Frank Longbottom, the Auror Office's director.

As soon as Frank entered, he said to Professor McGonagall, "We didn't find her in Hogsmeade, I've arranged for the Aurors to search Hogsmeade and the surroundings. If they find something, they will notify me as soon as possible. ”

Lupin continued: "I have asked the Muggle government for help, and they have agreed to have the Muggle police help find her. ”

At this time, Zhang Xu had already understood, and a girl in Hogwarts was missing.

It's just that judging from everyone's expressions, the missing girl should not be Harley who has gotten away with it, nor is it someone close to Harry.

And now that two students from the Snake Academy have also appeared here, then the missing girl should be a student of the Snake Academy.

It's just that from the information that has been fed back so far, there is no trace of her inside or outside of Hogwarts.

Sure enough, Professor McGonagall said to Zhang Xu, who had just arrived, "I didn't want to trouble you, Mr. Zhang. But as you heard just now, there is a student at Hogwarts who has disappeared, and you came into contact with her at noon today. ”

Now Zhang Xu knew who was missing, he stretched out his hand and pinched his brows and asked helplessly: "Is it Muli Lawrence who is missing?" ”
