Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office, followed McGonagall to the Tower, followed by two Aurors, but all remained silent, watching warily at the students around them.

A little later.

It's Rita Skeeter, a female journalist with big, stiff curly hair, and her cameraman, even though she knows that the interrogation of Ringo is the most important thing.

But Skeeter still took the time to grab a few young wizards and ask questions.

Like what:

"If Ringo Shelby were a murderer, would it affect your daily life?"

"Are you afraid of being in the same school as a murderer?"

"How do you think he killed someone?"

"Shelby is said to have disfigured Lucian Bor, do you know how? What spell was used? ”

It's obvious inside and out.

She had already preconceived Ringo as a murderer, which made Hermione almost jump out in anger and curse at her - she was stopped by Sister Petill.

But Penelope was unstoppable.

But the wise prefect of the Eagle Academy didn't say any swearing, she just let a shorthand quill beside her, like Skeeter, record all the other party's questions just now, and at the same time stop the other party in the way, and said as the other party walked by: "If Ringo is not a murderer, and all your remarks just now are enough to constitute slander, then may I ask you, Skeeter reporter, are you willing to take responsibility for these words?" ”

"I'm just kidding." Skeeter saw what Penelope had written down and immediately raised a fake smile.

"A couple of Aurors." Penelope suddenly stopped the Auror in front of him, "This Rita Skeeter reporter has just confessed to being a murderer, she has murdered a driver, a farmer, a wizard, and seven underage children. ”

Crash!

The surrounding sounds immediately disappeared.

The walking Aurors also stopped, and Scrimgeour asked before the female reporter broke out, "Are you serious?" ”

"Not really." Penelope looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, I was joking, everything is based on what this reporter just said, of course, I still suggest you look her up......"

"You talk nonsense!" Skeeter finally shouted, "You slander! ”

Penelope looked at her innocently, "What are you talking about?" Wasn't we kidding? ”

"You ......"

"Miss Krivat." McGonagall interrupted their argument, "Be careful about the occasion when joking, if you are suspected of slander, I don't think these Aurors will spare the slanderers!" ”

"Yes." Penelope nodded in agreement.

Skeeter's face became more and more ugly under the gaze of the crowd, and he immediately put away his shorthand quill and parchment, and followed in a dismayed manner.

It didn't take long.

The group arrived at the principal's office.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Dumbledore, Scrimthier walked in and saw the dark-haired boy drinking milk inside.

Just a glance.

He was slightly stunned.

Hiss......

Kind of like ......

It wasn't until his subordinate Kings pushed him that he came to his senses: "Ringo Shelby, we have been communicating through letters before, and today is the first time we have met, Rufus Scrimgeur." ”

"Hello, Mr. Scrimthour."

Ringo immediately put down the milk and shook hands with him a little reservedly, before looking at several Aurors and reporters with complicated eyes: "You are here to interrogate me?" ”

"It's not an interrogation, it's just a routine questioning, you can continue to drink your milk, just just chat as normal." Scrimgeour was old-fashioned and serious, but not to the point of targeting children, he sat across from Ringo, looking him straight into Ringo's eyes, "We want to know, what did you do on January 4th, which is yesterday?" ”

"Fly to school in a broomstick." Ringo didn't seem to be in the mood to drink milk, and looked very depressed when he heard this, "I really didn't kill anyone!" ”

"What about the broomstick?"

"There."

Following Ringo's point, Aurors walked over and picked up a broom and examined it: "Judging from the traces of use, it has been used a lot recently. ”

"Is there any other evidence?" Scrimgeour asked.

"Yes! I took a lot of photos with my camera on and off along the way. Ringo pulled the camera out of his backpack, "It's just a Muggle camera, and I'll need a developing potion to get me in it to move." ”

"I can help with this." Skeeter spoke immediately, looking excitedly at Ringo's camera.

But Scrimgeour didn't believe her, and still asked Kings to hold the camera: "There should be a developing potion in the school, go to Dumbledore and ask for it." ”

"I'll go." Kings turned and walked out.

Scrimgeour looked at Ringo again, "The camera isn't continuous, and I need to check your wand." ”

"Wand?" Ringo was taken aback, his face visibly tangled, "What do you do with the wand?" ”

"Use the Flashback Charm to see what spells you've used lately." Scrimgeour narrowed his eyes, "What?" Don't you want to? This is the best chance to clear your name. ”

Skeeter next to him let out a few weird laughs.

The shorthand quill in front of her, as if sensing the mood of her master, flew happily up and down on the parchment, and it did not look like she was writing good words.

"I don't stand a chance to say no, do I?" Ringo pulled out his wand a little melancholy, "You check." ”

Scrimgeour pulled out his wand.

- "Flashback Pre-Spell"

The next moment.

A surging green light emerged from Ringo's wand, creating an ever-changing image of the previous spells used by the wand.

Cleansing Spell;

Illumination Spells;

Levitation Charm;

Warm-up Spell......

It seems to be just a sparse and ordinary spell.

But almost instantly, everyone's eyes widened, even Skeeter's shorthand quill was stunned.

None of them.

Just because it seems like there are only a few spells!

But the number of times each spell was cast was at least in three digits – meaning that in just a few days, Ringo had used it hundreds of times.

Of course, there are occasional others in between.

For example, the Healing Charm.

For example, fire and water do not invade the spell.

For example, the Repair Charm.

But how could a young first-year wizard use spells so many times? That's more than an average wizard can use these spells in a month.

"What did you do here? With so many spells? Even Scrimgeour twitched the corners of his mouth.

Ringo stretched out his hands: "Practice spells." ”

"You're practicing spells? Aren't you always on the road? Ha ha! Sure enough, it's a lie, right? Skeeter on the side seemed to have caught a loophole, and suddenly became excited.

"I'm in a hurry, but can't I practice spells on the way?" Ringo looked at the reporter with a strange expression, "Isn't this a basic operation?" ”

What is the basic operation?

Skeeter raised an eyebrow, just about to say a few more words.

But he was soon pulled by the photographer: "Don't forget, he is a genius." ”

Her face froze.

And Ringo immediately said to the other people who were still skeptical: "If you don't believe it, I can show it now, as long as you grasp the broom handle with one hand when riding, you can cast a spell, so that although it is difficult at first, as long as I get used to it, it will enhance my understanding of the spell, and it will make the level of the spell improve quickly." ”

"You're right." Scrimgeour nodded approvingly, "It seems that the reason why you are called a genius is not only your original talent, but also related to hard work. ”

"Yes, one of my favorite Muggle scientists once said: genius is 1% talent and 99% perspiration. I think so. Ringo said, "Can I take my wand back?" ”

Scrimgeour has gone back a thousand times.

It's basically those spells.

He also felt that he couldn't check anything, so he simply nodded: "You can take it back, and tell me about what you saw and heard when you rode a broomstick to school?" ”

"Can ......"

Ringo began to explain.

For example, flying in deserted places as much as possible, avoiding the gaze of some carnivorous birds, going to a city to rest when hungry, playing by the way, and kindly sending some food to some beggars......

Very carefully.

Even after Kingsley returned with a picture of the developer potion.

Ringo also explained to them with photos.

All of this shows that he had nothing to do with the demise of the Bor family, and this is a perfect unproven proof.

Even Skeeter who tried to scribble couldn't find a problem.

Ultimately.

The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic can only leave temporarily.

He said that he would follow Ringo's flight path and check it along the road - but the sentiment was not strong, and it seemed like a routine matter.

Until you get away from Hogwarts.

Kings looked at Scrimgeot, who was still frowning, "Director, what's wrong with you?" Is there any doubt? I think Shelby's evidence is quite strong. ”

"It's quite sufficient."

"You're still ......"

"It's like knowing in advance that you're going to be questioned." Scrimgeour looked at his right-hand man, "I also have to explain that the results of the investigation on the scene involved Muggle weapons, and on Christmas Day, I also received a gift from this Mr. Shelby, do you know what it is?" ”

"You and he are still pen pals?" Kings blinked, "Received what?" ”

"A summary of the military power of the Muggle nations of the world."

"Uh...... What is it? ”

"There are some British military documents in it, and one of the bombs, called the Tall Bomb, is very similar to the fragments at the site of the explosion......"

"Can a child get a bomb for the state?" Kingsley thought it was a little incredible.

"Other kids may not be able to, but he ......," Scrimgeour said, "and don't forget who he is in the Muggle world, no ordinary kid...... Anyway, be careful when investigating his flight path—"

Cuckoo!

An owl flew over, and the letter was intercepted by Kings: "Looks like you're thinking too much, Director." ”

"What?" Scrimgeour was stunned.

"The prisoner turned himself in, a fugitive werewolf named Lemore......"
