Chapter XXVIII

Hearing Master Angulo's words, the faces of the three professors all became solemn.

"Mr. Strange, according to you, you were with Ms. Gray in the afternoon, right?" Vice Principal Meles asked solemnly.

Shevin didn't react for a moment, he didn't quite know why the others called Helena Lady Gray.

Helena was the first to say, "Stephen was in the library with me yesterday afternoon. ”

It dawned on Shevin that Ms. Grey might have acquiesced to the title she didn't want others to know that she was Ravenclaw's daughter.

"So why did you show up in the entrance courtyard again at night?" Professor Meles asked.

'Out of curiosity about what Professor Lorley was doing...... Shevin pouted to himself. But this can't be said, it can't be that he sensed Professor Lolei's location from three floors and ran downstairs to observe him......

'Wait, what is Professor Lowey looking for?' I guess Professor Lorey did it. ’

"Mr. Strange!" Seeing that Xiwen was slow to answer, Principal Dippet knocked on the table.

"Oh, good headmaster." Xiwen also realized that he should answer the question more now, and replied a little perfunctorily. "I still have to come out to breathe!"

Apparently the professors were not satisfied with his answer, and President Dippert frowned even more.

"I'd like to know more about why Mr. Strange came to Hogwarts, and why he is a ghost and has the ability to cast spells." The principal asked.

Seeing this, Xiwen had no choice but to recount the words that had been prepared for a long time.

"I am a traveler from the Orient and my hobby is traveling the world. But the world is so big, and people are so small, it is difficult to see a corner of the world in their lifetime, so abandon the constraints of the body and become a ghost, and you can use endless time to roam the present and future of the world. And this is also the obsession that allowed me to become a ghost. ”

"As for the ability to cast spells, because the spells in the East are systematically different from here, it is not too convenient to explain. To put it simply, we have spiritual spells that cultivate the soul and spirit, and after I cast the spell and gave up my body, I kept this ability in the soul, which is the reason why I was able to cast the spell. ”

Dumbledore listened with great interest, and applauded, "Great ideals, Mr. Strange." People are small, but the ideal is infinite, and your story is very interesting. ”

"Ahem!" Headmaster Duper interrupted Dumbledore's speech with a stiff cough, and then questioned him and Professor Meleth. "Do you think it's feasible to keep the ghost capable of casting spells?"

"I don't think it's realistic, it goes against the definition of a ghost. ”

Dumbledore retorted with a smile, "You don't have to stick to the word ghost, maybe Mr. Strange is more inclined to elves than ghosts after casting spells and sacrificing his body?" Just like Peeves. ”

Xiwen silently gave Dumbledore a thumbs up, "It's Professor Dumbledore, I didn't think of such a reason myself." ’

Principal Dippert nodded, and continued, "Despite this, Mr. Strange's suspicion has not been cleared. ”

Seeing that Shevan's face was not very good, Professor Meles explained, "I beg your pardon, Mr. Strange. Because the things that are destroyed in our castle are very difficult for normal people to find. Theoretically, only ghosts capable of navigating through walls have the slightest chance of being able to sense their presence up close. ”

"So, we want to know, are you like the other ghosts who can't touch physical objects, or can you use spells to affect reality?" She asked.

"He can influence reality." Bloody Barrow interjected suddenly. "I saw him pick up the books in the library."

"You're spying on us, Barrow?" Helena questioned coldly.

"I just want to keep you safe." Barrow said.

Xiwen actually didn't quite understand where Barrow's strong hostility came from, he didn't look like a warm-hearted person at all, didn't he...... Does he have thoughts about Helena?

Shevin felt like he saw the truth.

Originally, he didn't have a good impression of Barrow, but now he looked at Barrow with a little hostility in his eyes.

"Voyeurism? You're in a good mood, Mr. Barrow. He couldn't help but choke on Barrow.

"You're ......!" Barrow snapped, but was interrupted by the headmaster.

Principal Dippet said, "Two gentlemen, I think we should get down to business first. ”

"Is what Sir Barrow said true?" He looked at Xiwen.

Xiwen nodded dryly, if he deceives people at this time, it will be even more difficult to explain when he touches the real thing in the future.

"And I've seen him wandering around the castle as if he's looking for something." Barrow stabbed again.

"And what are you looking for, Mr. Strange?"

'Looking for a cat, of course!' Xiwen secretly rolled his eyes, the key is that he can't say it, it is the end of being known that he and the heir of the Rozier family are the same person.

So he said, "I read the rumors of the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets in the books, and of course as a traveler wants to see it." ”

Principal Dippert's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

"Mr. Strange, I have to say that you are very suspicious, and we cannot remain indifferent to this." He said.

Xiwen nodded helplessly, still expressing understanding.

After all, I used this castle to hide the identity of my soul, and now that I am misunderstood by the owner of the castle, I should be evened out. Xiwen thought to himself.

Headmaster Duppert called Vice Chancellor Mellors and Professor Dumbledore together, and the three of them had a somewhat heated discussion, as if Dumbledore did not approve of the Headmaster's plan.

Xiwen sat bored, feeling a little unlucky, as if he had walked into someone else's pit.

Helena looked at him worriedly and asked, "Aren't you worried that you will be dealt with as a murderer?" ”

Xiwen looked at Helena in surprise: "Do you still believe me when so much unfavorable evidence points to me?" ”

Helena looked at his face and nodded heavily: "I believe in you!" ”

Xiwen felt that he had been moved, and it was hard for anyone to be so trusted by someone who had only known him for four days.

But he still said stiffly: "Barrow is actually not wrong, you are indeed too easy to trust others." ”

"But I don't regret it......" Helena murmured softly.

……

"Alright." President Dippert knocked on the table, and it was supposed that the three professors had finally reached a consensus. "Now let's talk about the treatment of the ghost Stephen Strange."

……
