,!

In the middle of the night, all students are woken up and assembled in the auditorium.

Most of the people were only in their pajamas, and they gathered together in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

Sean didn't stand in front of the stage with Professor McGonagall. He silently returned to the student team. After explaining in a low voice to Hermione and Daisy who were unclear about the situation, he began to observe the people around him.

Professor McGonagall has two purposes for bringing everyone together. The primary purpose is of course the safety of the students. The person who cast the Imperius Curse may still be mixed with the teaching staff or even the student team. It is not safe for everyone to sleep alone. .

Another point is that Sean and the professors are worried, will there be students still controlled by the Imperius Curse?

So, now there was a long line in the auditorium, and Professor Flitwick was standing beside a dividing line with his wand up. His task was to check whether other students were controlled by the Imperius Curse.

Fortunately, for a master of spells, it is not too difficult to tell whether a little wizard is under control if he has a heart.

So now the students are chatting in whispers, being checked like travelers queuing up for tickets.

Around the students, the professors were all watching the student team in full readiness, in case someone who had been cast with the Imperius Curse suddenly caused an accident. At Sean's suggestion, the prefects and the presidents of the male and female student unions also mixed in the crowd to observe Watching everyone's movements.

The team moved forward slowly, and most of the students had already been checked.

Sean turned his gaze to the other side, where the new teaching assistants were faintly surrounded by several professors, and from time to time one of them was called out by a certain professor to talk.

Recently, Hogwarts is the most likely dark wizard for this new batch of teaching assistants.

The most suspected of them is naturally from Durmstrang's new assistant coach Max Dawson.

Max Dawson wasn't even at the scene, and Sean knew that he was most likely staying with Snape, who was also not at the scene.

Frankly speaking, if it was before, Sean would not be very relieved of Snape - after all, Lily is not dead.

After learning of Daisy's existence and the fact that Snape was even originally a member of the Predators, Sean was not worried at all.

For all situations that would cause harm to Xiao Baihua, whether psychological or physical, Snape would definitely use the highest vigilance, coupled with his usual vengeance.

The unlucky dark wizard he met when he bought sugar for Daisy back then is a good proof of this...

The team was advancing slowly, and soon reached Sean's side.

Professor Flitwick gave Sean a symbolic wave of his wand, then gave him a wink.

Xiao En walked out of the student line knowingly, and then approached the teaching assistant.

Professor McGonagall stood beside him and waved his wand lightly, forming a barrier around him to prevent others from snooping.

"How's the situation, professor?"

Professor McGonagall frowned: "Everything is normal now."

Xiao En also frowned when he heard the words, everything normal is the biggest abnormality and the worst news.

That proves that those prophecies from Trelawney could have been sent out of Hogwarts, but that doesn't make sense.

Sure enough, Professor McGonagall continued to explain: "Miss Brown has been carefully checked. She just woke up and didn't know anything about what she was doing. Professor Flitwick used a higher level of magic to check her body. The Imperius Curse was recast today."

"That person is still in Hogwarts..." Sean whispered.

"Yes, Hogwarts is now in a completely closed state, and no one can leave here without the authority of Professor Dumbledore, of course—" Professor McGonagall glanced at Sean.

I am the exception...

Sean laughed dryly, and then thought about it habitually. He and Stephanie have authority over the Room of Requirement, and they can receive news about whoever enters the Room of Requirement, but no strange person has entered it recently.

Moreover, just in case, Sean has completely remodeled the room he often goes to, and the disappearing cabinet has also been stored. Without his permission, it is impossible for others to touch it.

"What about the dementors? Professor, you know, I don't have much trust in these non-existences."

Professor McGonagall also shook his head: "I don't believe it either, so there are magic guards on the periphery of Hogwarts, and the group of dementors are actually just guarding the border, even if the dementors rebel , allowing a person to come and go freely, Hogwarts' magical guardians can also sense it, but so far, no one has left or entered."

That proves that that person is still in the castle...

"Where's Max Dawson, professor?" Sean looked in the direction of the teaching assistant.

"After you raised that possibility at the very beginning, I ordered a few ghosts to keep an eye on him. Although we can't guarantee round-the-clock monitoring, he behaved fine most of the time that could be monitored. However, because There is nothing wrong with him, and the monitoring in the last half month may have been a little less, so Professor Snape has gone to interrogate him alone, and I believe there will be a result soon." Professor McGonagall explained to Sean.

"Where are the other teaching assistants?"

"There is no problem, they are trustworthy people."

Sean squeezed his brows with some headaches, the teaching staff team is fine, and the students probably don't have this kind of strength...

You know, the person hiding in the dark is able to detect Sean under the Illusion Curse, and can even hide from Sean's detection and Dave's brain radar.

Even if it's intentional versus unintentional, this type of person is at least at the level of an elite Auror, and there is no one with such strength among the students for the time being.

Sean glanced at the slowly shrinking line of students, and one of the Slytherins made him frown.

I almost forgot about this person... The indifferent Slytherin student in front of him was the one who had contacted Dumbledore back then.

He represents the returnees...

But Dumbledore hoped that he would not investigate the other party, and Sean agreed at the time.

But in the current situation, he may be acting as a liaison with the returnees...

In the end, Sean still said to Professor McGonagall: "Professor, Roland Joseph of Slytherin, can you ask a certain professor privately?"

"Mr. Joseph?" Professor McGonagall frowned. "He doesn't usually like to socialize. He is a loner student. What did you find?"

"It's not the problem this time. It's something wrong with him before. I think it's necessary to investigate him carefully." Sean said.

"Okay, when Severus comes back, I'll ask him to find Joseph."

"Um."

The inspection team was finally over, and the students who hadn't understood the situation yawned.

In the team of teachers guarding the auditorium, Lockhart, who had always been inactive, also yawned. He patted his well-maintained face, showing his white teeth.

"It's over? Oh **** ho ho, that's great, should we go back to sleep?"

Dissatisfaction was evident in Professor McGonagall's eyes, and he didn't know whether he was talking to himself or telling Sean.

"The guy who doesn't do well in class..."

Sean pouted too.

Since Charlotte and Colton, the two assistant teachers of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Lockhart has completely become a role that no one pays attention to. The students are not stupid. A "powerful wizard" who has written so many best-selling books is completely crushed by Charlotte and Colton, two wizards who have only graduated three years ago.

Not only the level of teaching, but also the gap in the level of magic is visible to the naked eye. Lockhart is often the guy who makes trouble, while Charlotte and Colton solve the trouble for the students.

Everyone now knows well that Lockhart is still the official professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in name, but the actual professor has become the two new teaching assistants—Lockhart now doesn't even have the chance to read from the textbook , Charlotte directly did not follow the course and left, and Colton always showed a tacit understanding with Charlotte in this regard.

However, under Lockhart's self-confident smile, none of the students or professors moved.

In the end, he had to laugh out loud in embarrassment, "Just like I taught you, as a wizard, you have to be vigilant all the time. It's a good job, children! Haha!"

Then he retreated dejectedly.

At this time, at the main entrance of the auditorium, Snape led Max Dawson back.

The latter had a lot of helplessness on his face, but he was also somewhat relaxed.

Snape walked up to Professor McGonagall and Sean, and said calmly, "I gave him Veritaserum."

Good guy, what kind of inquiry did I think, the method is really simple and rude...

Snape continued: "It's all right, no problem, and he was quite cooperative when he learned of my intentions, although he wasn't too happy—"

Max Dawson looked helpless and annoyed, he finally rubbed his hair vigorously: "I shouldn't have gone back to Durmstrang..."

Sean glanced at Snape and blinked at his wand.

Snape gave Sean a dark look: "Of course I know, to check whether he has turned the Veritaserum he took into something else! Mr. Wallop, just right, we talked about it in class The medicinal properties of Veritaserum..."

This old bat is really vindictive, am I afraid that you forgot to remind you... Xiao En muttered to himself, and took a step back obediently.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Severus. Max, I also thank you for your cooperation. I hope you can understand. After all, for a school, the safety of students is the most important thing. There are already two The child has been hurt, and we have no choice but to do so."

Max Dawson sighed, "I just know that so I'll cooperate...but please don't do it next time, professor, oh my god, taking veritaserum really sucks, I feel like I have to say everything gone."

"I'm so sorry, Max." Professor McGonagall apologized sincerely.

"Huh? The smell has changed?" Just as Sean was about to turn around and leave, Dave, who had been in his arms all the time, had a suspicious thought.

"Smell? The smell of brains?" Sean asked suspiciously.

"Yes, that person's taste has changed a little...but overall it's still his original taste." Dave said honestly.

A few months ago, Sean distributed the magical animal culture fluid he got in the lottery to his friends, and after so many days, they all digested it.

Now, Dave, Pudding, Nadja, Basilisk, and the Great Selma Lake Monster have all gained a certain increase in speed and strength, and they can probably be regarded as top individuals of their kind.

Moreover, the magical animal culture fluid has a certain probability of improving the original magical abilities of magical animals, such as pudding. Its pupils are now more powerful. Sean tested it on himself. He fell into a deep sleep under hypnosis.

Najia had no room for improvement because of the special ability of the bird and snake, and in the end it just became bigger and smaller faster. The basilisk, it said by itself, seems that its ability to gaze has become even more terrifying—won’t it still stare at everyone to death?

The Great Selma Lake Monster has evolved a more useful ability. It could control the water flow and sense the fluctuations of the surrounding water flow. Now it can even launch attacks similar to water cannons from a long distance. Even on the shore, it has quite powerful abilities. Lethality.

And Dave just...

It can only be said that a foodie is a foodie, and Dave has a more sensitive sense of smell for brain teases, not only in a wider range, but Dave can also smell the details of brain teasing more clearly...

Now, Dave says there's something slightly off about Max's smell, which makes Sean a little suspicious.

According to my communication with Dave, the taste of a person's brains is indeed not constant. Under the influence of emotions, physical states, and psychological states, the taste of brains will show subtle differences.

And Max had just been given Veritaserum by Snape, and his mood and body had changed, which caused his brain to smell bad, which is actually normal.

But Sean will not miss any suspicious places~lightnovelpub.net~ Dave, smell him carefully, what is the main difference from before? "

The thorn sheath that Dave turned into wriggled twice in his arms, as if he was breathing heavily.

"Well, the overall taste is still the same, it's just that it feels a little... hollower than before?"

"Empty..."

While Professor McGonagall was talking to Max Dawson, Sean quietly moved to Snape's side and set up a shielding barrier.

Snape noticed his movement, frowned and raised his chin slightly: "Wallop, are you questioning my potion level?"

"No, professor, I want to ask, is it possible for him to cast the Forgetting Curse on himself?"

Snape snorted coldly: "Do you think you are the only one who can think about it? My questions are continuous, and his memory is also continuous, which proves that his memory has not been tampered with."

"What if he emptied his memory and re-weaved one?"
