"No...... Probably not. ”

Hallie shook her head, trying to make her tone less certain.

After all, the probability of Professor Lupin and Sirius fighting is too small, unless there is a different attack method that suits the national conditions of the Great Empire, the probability may be a little greater.

"But you can go talk to Percy and ask him to send a ghost to inform Professor Dumbledore."

"Definitely! Professor Lupin is such a good man, it would be too bad if he was attacked by Sirius. Lavender, who was next to him, leaned in.

"How is that possible? Professor Lupin is a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, and he is so powerful, how could he be attacked? ”

Immediately, a young wizard who especially admired Professor Lupin retorted,

"I'm sure Professor Lupin will be able to clean up a mere Sirius with ease."

"Don't forget, Sirius was a despicable Death Eater. What if he sneaks up on Professor Lupin? ”

The direction of the students' discussion gradually shifted, and finally it became completely out of step with the original topic.

They talk from who the attacker is, to how Sirius infiltrated Hogwarts, and finally to who is stronger in a one-on-one confrontation between Sirius and Professor Lupin.

Hermione, on the other hand, ran to the Weasley brothers, tried to separate Percy and the Weasley twins, and voiced her concerns.

This time, Fred and George didn't make trouble either, and took the initiative to help their brother find the ghost.

After all, Professor Lupin was their most beloved teacher.

……

The hall was becoming more and more chaotic, and the prefects and the presidents of the male and female student councils could not control it at all.

Although there were professors in the auditorium, neither Professor Sinista nor Professor Bubagi had much deterrent effect in themselves.

It wasn't until Professor Dumbledore returned with the Four Deans and Professor Lupin, and several loud explosions into the ceiling, that the students fell silent.

"There were two very bad incidents tonight." Professor Dumbledore's expression was very serious, even a little angry,

"Administrator Mr. Filch has been attacked by an unknown person and has suffered a severe physical blow to the back of his head and requires treatment."

"Professor Snape's office was also attacked, and many of the valuable medicinal herbs that had been stored in the school were lost, with losses of more than 2,000 Galleons."

"This is a very bad incident, fully meeting the criteria for being sentenced by the Ministry of Magic, and there is a high probability that you will be sent to Azkaban for more than five years!"

"So I hope it's not the work of one classmate. If so, then I can only fire him. ”

As he spoke, Professor Dumbledore paused, his eyes looking around for a moment, and then continued,

"Based on the judgment of the deans, we can preliminarily conclude that the person who attacked Administrator Filch and infiltrated Professor Snape's office was the same person."

"Although we tend to have Sirius Black do it, in the absence of conclusive evidence, we still need to conduct a survey on the students."

"Now I ask the prefects to assist the dean, count the number of people in each college, and count the students who are not in the auditorium or have left Zhongtong."

The students were in an uproar.

While the assault on Filch and the theft of Professor Snape's potions materials had always been something that many students wanted to do.

But after the rise to the criminal case, everyone is still very afraid.

After all, everyone has experienced the horror of Dementors. If you want to be with them every day in Azkaban...... It's better to kill yourself!

So everyone was very cooperative, and the prefects quickly counted the number of people.

To everyone's surprise, all the students who had left in the middle of the banquet moved quickly, and the longest was only ten minutes away.

As for the absent students, only two seventh-grade Ravenclaws didn't show up for dinner tonight.

And the two students still have ample evidence to prove their innocence.

They tried to learn more about Transfiguration in Transfiguration class, but they had a small accident and turned their nose and eyes upside down.

Now they were still lying in the infirmary, under the care of Madam Pomfrey, so it was impossible to accomplish either of these things.

Then almost everyone can be sure that the prisoner is Sirius Black.

Professor Dumbledore frowned and whispered something to the deans.

Finally, the deans made the decision to keep the students in the auditorium overnight.

The prefects guard the entrance to the auditorium, while the presidents of the male and female student councils manage the overall situation.

The professors will continue to search the castle for the fugitive Sirius, and communicate through ghosts and portraits.

Professor Dumbledore stopped talking after arranging everything, and was about to leave the Great Hall, when suddenly something came to mind:

"Oh, by the way, it occurred to me that you probably need this."

With that, Professor Dumbledore flicked his wand, and the rest of the food on the table disappeared, and the table flew to the edge of the Great Hall, neatly leaning against the wall.

Professor Dumbledore waved his wand again, and hundreds of soft purple sleeping bags appeared on the ground at once.

"Hurry up and go to bed, minors don't stay up late."

Professor Dumbledore said, and strode out of the Great Hall, followed by the Dean and Professors.

Immediately, there was another burst of excitement in the auditorium, and many people curiously asked the ghosts or the portraits on the walls what was going on.

"Everyone, go to bed!" Percy shouted, "Hurry up, stop talking!" Turn off the lights on time after 10 minutes! ”

Harley and Hermione each grabbed a sleeping bag and found a corner where no one was around.

Soon, all the candles in the pumpkins were extinguished, and the enchanted ceiling was filled with stars.

"Hope Filch is okay." Hermione was a little worried.

"It's going to be fine, you have to trust the professors." Harley comforted Hermione.

The two said goodnight to each other and then stopped talking, but Hermione was asleep, and Harley was still holding her wand in her hand.

"Call the gods to protect you." Harley muttered in an extremely small voice, and the tip of her wand quickly glowed with silver.

The silver light seemed to have a consciousness of its own, and it did not condense into Medusa, but slowly injected into the magic mirror placed in the lower abdomen.

At the same time, a stream of turquoise light was injected directly into the mirror from the fingertips of Harley's other hand.

If someone lifts Hallie's eyelids at this time, they will find that there are also two colors of light flowing alternately under Hallie's eyes.

After a while, all the anomalies under the sleeping bag disappeared, and Harley's breathing gradually stabilized.

At the same time, in the glass of the girls' bathroom closest to the auditorium, silver and turquoise light gushed out entangled, and condensed into a graceful body.

The body is snake-tailed, the appearance is exquisite, and the head is snake-haired.

It's Medusa, Hallie's patron saint.

……
