#178 - Chapter 178 Auror Training Class, Attack
Hearing Sebastian's words, the little wizards returned to their seats and continued their breakfast.
However, compared to before, everyone was much quieter.
They ate while thinking.
It turned out that everyone had always viewed Slytherin too narrowly.
Before founding Hogwarts, Slytherin and Gryffindor were close friends.
Given Gryffindor's temperament, he would never have chosen a narrow-minded person as his friend.
Indeed, if Slytherin were such a person, the other three founders would never have founded Hogwarts School with him.
If they didn't respect Slytherin's character, the other three could have completely abolished Slytherin House after he left, fundamentally eliminating his extreme ideas.
However, what did Slytherin do after leaving Hogwarts?
Did he go to deal with those traitors?
Seeing that it was eight o'clock in the morning, the little wizards stopped thinking and hurried to finish their breakfast and go to class.
........................
Professor Swan is going to lead the Auror training class to solve this case!
The news spread like wind to every corner of the school.
The students in the Auror training class were eager to try, as this was a rare opportunity for practical experience.
Once they solved this problem, their resumes would definitely have a significant addition.
If they performed well, they might even be directly recruited by the Auror Office.
After all, that was Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, just thinking about it was exciting.
After receiving Sebastian's temporary notice, these little fellows quickly assembled, waiting for Sebastian's instructions.
When Sebastian walked into the classroom, a student immediately asked.
"Professor Swan, what should we do? Please instruct us quickly, I believe everyone can't wait."
Hearing this, the students echoed with a smile: "Professor, no matter what task you assign, we guarantee to complete it beautifully."
"Everyone is very enthusiastic," Sebastian grinned, "It's a good thing to have this energy."
"To become an excellent Auror, you must learn how to solve cases."
"Before assigning tasks, I want to let everyone use their brains and think about how you should start when facing this case?"
This......
They thought the professor would carry them, but it turned out they had to be assessed.
A sixth-year student immediately raised his hand and replied: "Professor, Potter and the others were the first to arrive at the crime scene."
"I think we should start with Potter."
Good idea!
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they looked at Harry, the prime suspect.
They didn't know the details of last night at all.
They only knew that Harry and his friends were the first to arrive at the scene.
In this way, they were highly suspected.
Faced with everyone's gaze, Harry's face instantly turned red, the feeling of being suspected by everyone was really uncomfortable.
Seeing Harry's embarrassed appearance, Sebastian spoke up to relieve him.
"After the professors' examination, Harry is not the murderer, please believe the professors' judgment, and please give Harry more trust."
"Professor," a seventh-year student said, "Since that's the case, can we let Potter talk about the details of last night?"
Sebastian nodded in approval: "Good idea, to solve a case, we must understand the most real information."
"Harry," Sebastian gestured to Harry, "Don't be nervous, tell everyone about the details of last night."
"Let's brainstorm and see if we can think of any clues."
Hearing Sebastian's instructions, Harry stepped forward and described everything that happened last night in detail.
Hiss——
Everyone gasped.
Harry actually heard sounds that others couldn't hear?!
Ominous!
Everyone's expression changed, and the gazes they looked at Harry with were filled with sympathy.
However, listening to Harry's words, besides the strange sounds, there was nothing special.
What exactly was wrong?
Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Sebastian prompted.
"Think about it, what was different about Harry compared to you last night?"
Different?
He is the Boy Who Lived.
What else could be different!
Cedric had a flash of inspiration and raised his hand to answer: "Professor, are you saying that Harry went to the ghost banquet last night, while we were all in the Great Hall attending the Halloween banquet."
Smart!
As expected of Hufflepuff's star, his brain is much more flexible.
Sebastian encouraged: "Then what else did you think of, Cedric?"
"Harry and the others chased the sound to the third floor, and then found the writing on the wall."
"That shows that the person who left the writing also appeared on the third floor."
Cedric became more and more fluent: "It's just that Harry and the others were one step late, so they didn't see his appearance."
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
"Professor, I thought of it, that person is likely to be like Harry and the others, and did not attend last night's Halloween banquet."
Cedric's words inspired the little wizards, and they added one after another.
"It is also possible that the person left the Great Hall not long after the banquet started, otherwise he would definitely not have time to run to the third floor to leave the writing."
"I also want to add one point, that person may have arrived a little late after the banquet started, so as to create an alibi."
"Very likely, after all, before the banquet started, there were students everywhere in the castle, it would be too difficult not to be discovered."
"There is also a possibility that the person who made the sound and the person who left the writing are two different people."
"That makes sense, after all, besides Harry, no one else heard that sound, could it be that what made the sound was not a person?"
Listening to the students' discussion, Sebastian smiled.
"Everyone's ideas are great, now we have clues."
"The next step is for everyone to start investigating from last night's banquet and collect more clues related to the Chamber of Secrets."
Sebastian said with a smile, "To become an elite Auror, a very important skill is information gathering."
"You need to go to the students, ask more and inquire more, not only to find out who didn't come to the banquet last night, who was late or left early."
"You also have to look for clues related to the Chamber of Secrets from the information provided by the students."
"Observe more, record more, think more, and then extract useful parts from the massive amount of information."
"Everyone pay attention," Sebastian's voice became a little serious, "Pay attention to the method in the process of collecting information, don't look at everyone as a suspect."
"And don't suspect someone just because they went to the toilet during the banquet."
"Remember, you are not Aurors yet, and the students are not criminals, so don't think you are superior and interrogate others condescendingly."
"This task is very large, very tedious, and it is likely that you will not get too much useful information in the end."
"However, don't be discouraged, you will definitely get full training from this kind of investigation."
The students distributed the tasks themselves, and then discussed the questions to ask and the precautions for a while before dispersing.
The silent investigation began.
