It's already dark.

Since Hogwarts was already under curfew, there was no need for Mr. Pringer to bother lighting the lights.

The whole castle was almost dark, except for the auditorium, where the light still shone.

Nearly a dozen faculty members gathered in the auditorium, including the vice principal, the four deans, and a few other professors, and, of course, Mr. Plumger, with his golden retriever.

Almost all the teachers at the school came.

They already knew what was going on.

So they have different expressions on their faces, from anger to sadness and worry......

In the center of them was a teacher bound by magical ropes.

Or a former teacher, perhaps, more appropriately.

Transfiguration teacher, Professor Troka, was tied to a chair and his wand was taken from him.

His face looked unusually pale, but the expression on his face was calm.

Professor Flitwick stood in front of him, the diminutive Charms teacher, who looked extremely excited:

"Troca! Principal Dalyse Derwent portrait tells us that only you, Granger, and Longbottom, were the only three people who were in the school hospital during that time!"

"Yes. Troka replied calmly.

"How can you ......" Professor Flitwick angrily cocked up his index finger and yelled, "Do you think we don't know who you are as a vampire, we just trust Headmaster Grindelwald's choice...... How dare you do such a thing! How dare you attack a student at Hogwarts!"

Troka lowered her head and said nothing.

Professor Sinista in astronomy class was obviously calmer than Professor Flitwick.

She bent down and patted Professor Flitwick on the shoulder, motioning for him not to be so angry.

"Troca, did you wound Madam Pomfrey?" then, Professor Sinista asked coldly.

"That's right. Troka replied calmly.

"Did you suck Justin Finchrie's blood?" Professor Sinista continued.

"Yes!" Troka's expression remained.

"And you took Granger and Longbottom from the hospital then?" Professor Sinista finally asked.

Troka nodded again.

"Oh, I can't believe it......" Professor Sprout covered his face with his hands and looked at Troka, while shaking his head.

She wasn't the only one who had such a reaction.

The other teachers all said that it was a little incredible.

However, with all the suspects admitted, they could not say anything more.

......

"Bastard......" Professor Flitwick looked even angrier, and roared, "Where the hell did you hide Granger and Longbottom?

This time, Troka's face showed a look of hesitation.

"I started bringing them to my office...... And then...... And then...... Suddenly they were gone...... I've been looking for them all afternoon as well......"

"Lies! clumsy lies!" Professor Flitwick looked even more annoyed, "You think this kind of lie can deceive us?"

Professor Troka looked up, but he quickly lowered his head again.

If you follow his line of sight, you can see his gaze, and it is Professor Rozier, the vice president.

At that moment, Professor Troka's eyes had a little more pleading look.

However, because the light was too dim, the other teachers present did not notice it.

"Horace!" Professor Flitwick yelled.

"I'm here, Filius!" the Potions teacher hurriedly replied.

"Please, bring me your best elixir...... Please...... We must make this vampire tell the truth!" Professor Flitwick said hysterically.

"Okay!" Horace Slughorn didn't hesitate, turning to walk towards his office.

"Wait a minute!" but Professor Rozier spoke suddenly, stopping Professor Slughorn.

"Why don't you take it, Headmaster Rozier?" Slughorn's gaze looked a little confused.

"Truth elixir doesn't work for a vampire like him. Professor Rozier replied blandly.

Then she added, "And even if we use the Regent Mind on him, his Occlumency will be able to hide from us...... So, such a move is all in vain"

"So what are we going to do?" Professor Flitwick said with help as he looked at the Vice-Chancellor.

The eyes of more than a dozen teachers looked at Professor Rozier at the same time.

Including the gaze of Professor Edward Troca.

Coincidentally, Professor Rozier was also looking at Troka, and the two of them almost looked at each other, and there was a pleading look in Troca's eyes.

It's just that Principal Rozier is still expressionless.

"I will write to Minister Millicent Barnold, the real culprit responsible for this series of attacks at Hogwarts has been found, and it is our Transfiguration teacher, Edward Troca!" Professor Rozier said lightly, "Edward Troka will be sent to Azkaban, where the Dementors may make him speak......"

"That's all there is to it. Several teachers next to him sighed.

"Horace, go write a letter to the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, Mr. Guffey, and tell him that everything that happened at Hogwarts can be published in the newspaper!" Professor Rozier spoke again.

"Okay, I see. Slughorn nodded, "I'll write later." ”

After hearing Principal Rozier's words, a painful look suddenly appeared on Troka's face at this moment.

He opened his mouth, as if ready to say something.

But when he looked up, his gaze met again with Principal Rozier.

Principal Rozier's fierce gaze glared at him.

Troka finally had to bow his head, he smiled a little weakly, and shook his head self-deprecatingly.

......

This trial is nearing its end, and the real culprit has been caught, while confessing to his crimes.

Just wait for the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic to arrive, take the criminals to Azkaban, and it's all over.

"Let's all disperse!" Professor Rozier said calmly, "Pomona, Horace, take the vampire Troka to the tower of the West Tower and lock him up." ”

Professor Sprout and Professor Slughorn nodded hurriedly.

The teachers dispersed one by one.

At the same time, behind the doors of the auditorium.

Sensing something strange in the auditorium—

A small black shadow hurriedly dodged.

Finally completely disappeared into the darkness.
