,!

Snape frowned slightly when he heard Sean's whisper, his tone was still gloomy.

"Are you skilled, Wallop?"

The corners of Sean's eyes twitched. Why is the old bat's focus so different?

"Leave that aside...Professor, did you check his wand with a Flashback Charm?"

If there was something wrong with Max Dawson, there must be something wrong with his wand.

Sean was noticed before, but Lavender Brown did not have this kind of strength, which proved that the lurker must have been there at that time.

If that person was really Max Dawson, then in order to cope with Snape's inspection, even if he forgot his memory and weaved a new memory, then this must be a hasty action in a short period of time.

Memory checks are cumbersome, but using flashback spells to check wands is much more convenient.

Unexpectedly, Snape glanced at him mockingly: "Do you think I wouldn't know about such a basic inspection? The Luminescent Charm and the Straightening Charm are common spells, and the wand is normal."

The wand is normal... Sean frowned.

Could it be that he was overly suspicious? However, the possibility of Max Dawson having a spare wand cannot be ruled out...

"Where's his place? Is there anything out of the ordinary, like another wand, or an empty glass bottle or something?"

"Everything is fine," Snape said coldly.

The easiest place to hide things in Hogwarts is the Room of Requirement, but the Room of Requirement is Sean’s home field... As for other places, Max Dawson is secretly watched by ghosts in the castle most of the time, except for him in his own room—but his room is fine too...

Do you really think too much?

And we must pay attention to one point, that is, this lurker has tried his best to control the students with the Imperius Curse, and has made so many thorough preparations. On the one hand, he naturally does not want to expose himself, on the other hand, his main purpose, He had to convey to the outside world the true prophecy made by Trelawney.

But the memory bottles that Trelawney was extracted were not found with Max Dawson...

Regardless of whether the lurker is Max Dawson or not, this person dared to use the Imperius Curse at Hogwarts, which is a very risky behavior.

Because a person has been incapacitated for a long time, and has to experience frequent erasure of memory, over time, the state of this person will definitely be different from the normal state.

That is to say, even if Sean didn't happen to bump into him tonight, in front of such powerful wizards as Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, Lavender Brown and others' anomalies would be discovered sooner or later.

That person can't take those language memories out of the school safely until the end of the semester and the holiday.

Also, worth noting, how did that opal necklace that nearly killed Parvati Patil get into the school?

New teaching assistants have to go through strict inspections when they enter the school, and tampering with memory cannot be detected. This powerful black magic item cannot be hidden...

Sean narrowed his eyes slightly. That lurker must have a way to communicate with the outside world, and even send items...

It took only a moment to think like this, Xiao En raised his head and searched around, and found his goal.

He moved naturally to the side of the pearly white ghost: "Hey, Sir Nicholas of Mimsy, how are you doing?"

Nearly Headless Nick smiled after hearing Sean's address, and he proudly puffed out his chest: "Very well, it is an honor for a nobleman to serve Hogwarts."

Sean conveniently set up an anti-eavesdropping barrier, and asked straight to the point: "Nick, you are in charge of coordinating the inspection of the new teaching assistant, right?"

"Oh, yes, Professor McGonagall has entrusted me with this serious job, and I will not disappoint her—by the way, don't you call me Sir?" Nearly Headless Nick was fiddling with his leftover A little flesh links the neck and head.

"Listen, Sir Nicholas of Mimsy, I need you to tell me what Max Dawson has been doing these days."

"What's going on? Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape have already asked me, everything is normal." Nick said.

"No, describe it to me in detail."

While playing with his head, Nick showed a thoughtful look: "According to the professor's instructions, the ghosts will monitor his usual travels, except when he returns to his room... well, most of the time in his spare time, he either Stay in your room, or in the staff room—oh, I was looking in the wall by the fireplace last time you were talking."

"What about the travel route?"

"The route is also normal, basically offices, classrooms, library, faculty lounge, auditorium. The bathrooms wander around, and occasionally go to the library. Oh, that Mr. Dawson often shows disapproval Hogwarts curiosity, but in my opinion, he is still a very polite gentleman, and he would not go out to find the secret room of Hogwarts."

From this point of view, everything is indeed normal, I seem to have really thought too much...

Over there, Nearly Headless Nick continued, "Oh, by the way, he's been to Hogsmeade a few times."

"Hogsmeade? What has he been doing?"

"Oh, you don't worry too much, Sean. Mr. Dawson behaved normally when he went to Hogsmeade, and not many times. After all, students are not allowed to go to Hogsmeade now, and he has been going there as a teacher Recreation isn't very good either, the most he can do is go get some butterbeer and buy some candy or some clothes."

"When was the last time?"

"Oh, I know that very well. It happened that I followed him secretly that time." Nearly Headless Nick puffed out his chest proudly. "Just the day before yesterday, he went to Hogsmeade in the evening."

The day before yesterday... the suspicion that Sean had just dispelled suddenly resurfaced. It's hard not to be suspicious at this point in time.

"Specific circumstances, Nick."

"It's Sir Nicholas of Mimsy, Sean—" Nick corrected him, and then said, "it must have been about five o'clock in the afternoon, and he came out of his room to relax."

"Along the way, he met a few students and greeted them normally. When he left the school gate, he met that big stupid Hagrid. The two exchanged a few words. After arriving in Hogsmeade, he After hesitating for a while between the Broom Bar and Mrs. Puddiffe's Teahouse, I finally chose Three Broomsticks, which happened to meet Professor Trelawney..."

Professor Trelawney... Sean frowned.

Nick continued: "The two of them didn't look very familiar, they greeted politely, and then walked into the three brooms together, then Professor Trelawney came out first, and after a while, Mr Dawson also came out Came out. Oh, yes, he also met Professor Lockhart after he came out. Fortunately, Mr. Ha-Dawson didn’t go to Mrs. Puddiffe’s teahouse. That’s where Lockhart came out. If he did, he would have to endure that Guy's bragging about..."

"Wait, wait," Sean quickly interrupted Nick's comment, "What happened in the bar? Mr. Dawson and Professor Trelawney, what happened to them in the Three Broomsticks?"

"I don't know." Nearly Headless Nick spread his hands.

Sean was taken aback for a moment, he and the professors had forgotten one thing, the normal that the ghost said was different from their understanding!

Ghosts can only wander where they have been before, but Nearly Headless Nick died more than five hundred years ago! At that time, although Hogsmeade existed, the Three Broomsticks did not necessarily exist!

Sure enough, Nick said: "When I was alive, there were no bars and teahouses. I couldn't get in, so I could only watch outside - if only he went to the Pig's Head Bar. The Pig's Head Bar was just established when I was alive. God, you can't even imagine how bright the cabin was in there... um, Sean? Sean?"

Nearly headless Nick looked at Sean suspiciously. He leaned his head against the wall, thinking about something, and said nothing.

In the dark Hogsmeade village, in the shadow of the cobblestone road, with a twist of the air, Sean's figure was revealed.

He had to come to the Three Broomsticks to see the situation, so he left the Illusion Charm on the spot, and then used the trail to flash to Hogsmeade.

Fortunately, the shadow worms have been left here long ago...

Xiao En sighed silently, then hid his figure, and pushed open the door of the Three Broomsticks.

"Welcome, but are you still here so late? It's already closed tonight...Huh?" Ms. Rosmerta, the proprietress of the Three Broomsticks, looked suspiciously at the door of her bar, which was pushed open and closed, and there was no one there.

"Is there no wind tonight?" The graceful and sociable lady put down the wine glass in her hand in doubt, and went to the door to check with drunken eyes.

Sean behind her has narrowed his eyes,

Imperius Curse...

"Ma'am, can you tell me what happened to Max Dawson and Professor Trelawney?" Sean directly revealed his figure.

His appearance didn't shock Ms. Rosmerta. On the contrary, these words seemed to trigger a switch, and her eyes, which were already blurred by alcohol, became even more dull.

Sure enough, with the Imperius Curse, the memory was also tampered with...

Ms. Rosmerta was confused for a while, and then she pulled out her wand and pointed it at Sean: "Avada...!"

"Bang." Her body was hit by a red light.

Sean waved his wand and restrained Ms. Rosmerta. The Imperius Curse can only be solved by the therapist, and he can't ask anything now.

He turned around and searched the bar.

Finally, Sean finds something amiss in Ms. Rosmerta's bedroom, with extra wands well hidden.

Sean tested them one by one with flashback spells.

Apparition spell, listening spell, confusion spell... There is even a spell that Sean has never seen before, but it should be used to send contact signals.

Although Hogsmeade has lost its previous business, the business owners here can still go out to purchase occasionally...

Sean took a deep breath. The lurker controlled Ms. Rosmerta, and then used her to communicate with the outside world...

Max Dawson, big problem!

Sean didn't hesitate any longer, he directly used a spell to hide the unconscious Rosmerta, and then used the trajectory flash again to return to Hogwarts.

Sean, who had been leaning against the stone wall, slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.

At this time, the students had already gathered at one side of the auditorium, and they were going to sleep here tonight.

And Max Dawson, who had just been cleared of suspicion, was talking with several new assistants.

Sean naturally walked to Professor McGonagall, and then said in a deep voice, "Max Dawson is not right, the information given by Nick is biased, and Ms. Rosmerta is also controlled by the Imperius Curse."

"What?!" The shock in Professor McGonagall's eyes flashed, but she controlled her expression well, and didn't even glance at Max Dawson.

"Professor, you must control him, but there are too many students here... You find an excuse and ask a few teaching assistants to go outside to check on the situation of the guards. I will try to subdue him immediately. If the sneak attack fails, you will fight with other guards." The professor came to support us."

"No problem." Professor McGonagall nodded.

Soon, several teaching assistants were called by Professor McGonagall.

"Max, Charlotte, Colton, oh, and you, Sean, you go too, you go and see the guard at the gate, I think something is wrong with the dementors tonight, Sean , if the situation is normal, please inform the prefects and chairmen for me."

"Okay, no problem." Sean nodded.

Several people quickly walked towards the outside of the castle.

Sean walked beside Max Dawson, he smiled wryly as he walked, and said in a sympathetic tone: "Max, you have really worked hard tonight."

The other party smiled wryly and shook his head: "No way, I can only cooperate in this special period... To be honest, I don't even know what happened tonight."

Sean deliberately lowered his voice: "Someone lurked into Hogwarts, controlled the students with the Imperius Curse, and tried to steal something... You know, you are the new teaching assistant after all."

Dawson opened his mouth wide in surprise, and then sighed again: "That **** made me drink Veritaserum..."

The conversations seemed normal, and they were. Dawson weaved his own memory, and what he said now was what he really thought.

But Dave has been having thoughts: "There is something wrong with his brain~lightnovelpub.net~ It seems to have suddenly flourished."

Sure enough, he set a wake-up memory switch for himself...

Several people had already reached the empty square, Sean held up his wand and stretched his waist: "What time is it..."

Charlotte and Colton, who had been arguing quietly behind them, received the signal, and the quarrel suddenly became louder, and the two even stood still and confronted each other.

"Sterling, what do you mean?!"

"Miss Hawke, please watch your words."

The two drew their wands directly.

Max Dawson turned around, and said rather helplessly: "You two, please stop arguing during the official business..."

Sean's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his wand was aimed directly at Dawson.

"Dizzy..."

Before the spell could be uttered, in an instant, a magical power that made Xiao En's heart palpitate and familiar exploded automatically!
