Chapter 101

Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
Douglas was looking for what might be a diary on the stack of bookshelves in the Ravenclaw common room.
After all, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
The best way to hide a drop of water is to hide it in the sea...
The way Douglas can use is to find a needle in a haystack.
Look specifically for notebooks that look old.
But always got nothing.
Flying Curse?
Used of course, but either name is pretty much useless.
Just when he stood up and looked out the window, he suddenly froze.
Because a predatory owl just flew by...
Douglas patted himself on the head, feeling stupid as a pig.
Forgot about the owl option.
Suddenly he recalled Snape and Dumbledore's last words.
Feeling that they must have guessed the answer, no wonder Snape finally said that he might as well find clues from Malfoy.
Douglas is depressed at this moment...
A very simple matter was so complicated by his thinking.
He even felt that Voldemort might have hollowed out the middle of a certain book and hid his diary in it.
But the wizarding world is actually that simple. As long as you have enough time, you can send the book away with an owl.
Unless a net is laid in advance to intercept it.
No wonder those two left so happily...
If this is inferred, the diary was sent away and the entrance to the secret room was monitored.
Even if Malfoy sent the diary back again, it would be difficult to have a chance to open the secret room.
So, the danger to Hogwarts is temporarily lifted?
Anyway, Douglas thinks so...
He left the Ravenclaw lounge, didn't go to the auditorium, and went straight to his office.
I fell asleep directly with my head covered, my heart was too tired.
Dumbledore did not expect such a big change in the direction of things.
In the school infirmary, after consultations with a group of top wizards, Madam Pomfrey personally administered the medicine.
Tom Cruise fell into a drowsy sleep.
Then Dumbledore personally operated the knife, and directly erased the part of Tom's memory about his memory being modified.
"It seems that he has made some changes to the things related to Tom in his memory,
We can't restore that unknowable memory unless Tom takes action himself..."
There are some words that Dumbledore did not say, and it is inevitable that some fragments will be accidentally seen when modifying the memory.
For example, the second-hand bookstore in Diagon Alley, the figure of Douglas in the second-hand bookstore...
These things are enough to show that Douglas should know some things, otherwise he wouldn't be doing those guidance.
This gave Dumbledore more confidence in Douglas' handling of the matter.
So a principal and four deans left the school infirmary.
Back in the auditorium, continue to appease the students...
Among the students in the auditorium, they saw the headmaster coming back, but their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor did not come back...
Immediately talk about the fryer!
"Oh, poor Professor Holmes, he didn't last a semester in this position..."
"Doesn't the professor look very strong?"
"This curse has nothing to do with who is strong..."
Of course, the Ravenclaw students also noticed that one of their students did not come back.
It's just that Professor Flitwick didn't speak, and no one mentioned it.
Regarding the students' comments, Principal Dumbledore had to come out to explain, otherwise how would he recruit new teachers next year.
"Oh, students, don't worry.
A little trouble has arisen at Hogwarts Castle.
Your dear Professor Holmes is being processed, he is safe, nothing has happened...
Everyone just wait with peace of mind, I believe Douglas will handle this matter well,
Then you can go back to the common room..."
In this way, everyone continued until 10:30 in the evening,
Some young wizards were already yawning, and even began to doze off while lying on the long table.
In the faculty seats, the professors also began to discuss in low voices.
Professor Sprout said worriedly:
"Albus, will anything happen to Douglas?
After all, the other party is...
Of course, I also believe in Douglas' ability, but after so long, there is no news..."
Professor McGonagall also nodded:
"After all, the students have classes tomorrow..."
In fact, Dumbledore and Snape were also wondering, after all Douglas was so confident.
How come there is no news for so long.
Then, Dumbledore waved his wand, and a silver-white shadow flashed past.
The students below immediately regained their spirits. After all, the scene of Dumbledore casting a spell is rare.
It's a pity that most of them didn't see clearly what it was.
To Dumbledore's surprise, he felt that his Patronus Charm was not flying towards Ravenclaw Tower.
Looks like the Defense Against the Dark Arts office...
Douglas, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a sound.
"Douglas, if there is any result, come to the auditorium first!"
Douglas woke up, looked at the phoenix summoned by the silver-white Patronus Charm in front of him, and made Dumbledore's voice.
After saying it twice, then the Patronus Charm disappeared.
Douglas blinked hard, trying to clear himself up.
It's been a long time since I went to bed so early, I looked at the clock, it was already 10:30 in the evening, and I only slept for two hours.
Douglas was very puzzled, isn't everything out of danger?
Why is it so late, what are you going to do in the auditorium?
He tidied up his clothes casually.
Yes, he didn't take off his clothes at all just now.
While yawning, he opened the office door, ready to go to the auditorium to see what was going on.
When he just opened the door, he saw a group of old professors walking towards his office in a hurry in the corridor.
Everyone's eyes are facing each other...
Seeing Douglas just waking up, he was still yawning.
The professors could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Professor Sprout hurried forward to check on Douglas.
Douglas was stunned.
Unlike the reactions of other professors, Snape's eyes were full of vigilance.
"Douglas, why are you in the office? Stuff?"
Douglas felt that Snape's words were full of sarcasm, didn't you just guess it before me.
As for running over specifically to show off your might?
So he said angrily:
"Don't you already know that?"
"Forehead!"
This time it was Dumbledore and Snape's turn to be dazed.
What do we know?
Douglas was very puzzled when he saw the expressions of the two. What kind of reaction was this?
But he still whispered to Professor Sprout that he was fine and just woke up.
Then let everyone into the office.
Snape and Dumbledore exchanged glances, then walked into the office.
Other professors followed suit.
Except for Professor McGonagall, no other professors have visited Douglas' office.
As soon as he came in, he clearly felt that the atmosphere in his office was completely different from that of his and others.
Of course, it does not mean that there is a difference between good and bad offices, but that everyone has a different style.
However, the style of Douglas's office has never been seen before.
Only Professor McGonagall skillfully sat on the tea table...
Professor Snape looked at Douglas' office with a bit of disdain on the corner of his mouth.
Then stood by the chair, did not sit down,
Instead, he asked coldly:
"What did you mean by that?"
The other professors also looked at Douglas suspiciously.
Because Dumbledore told them just now that Douglas will take care of the rest soon.
Douglas frowned.
He glanced at Dumbledore and Snape suspiciously:
"Didn't you already guess that the other party was probably sent away by an owl?
That's why I left with peace of mind, and left me there foolishly, rummaging around. "
Speaking of the last sentence, Douglas showed a trace of grievance on his face.
Humiliating people doesn't do that!
There is even someone who came back to flog the corpse.
The other three deans also looked at Dumbledore and Snape in surprise.
Professor McGonagall said dissatisfiedly:
"Albus, Severus, how could you do this.
With so many students waiting there, do you know what time it is?
The kids have class tomorrow! "
Embarrassment flashed across Snape and Dumbledore's faces.
At this time, Douglas also recalled, looking at Dumbledore and Snape.
Snape asked in a low voice:
"Are you sure you're not in the castle anymore?"
Douglas shook his head:
"uncertain.
But I've searched everything I could, and there really isn't..."
Professor Flitwick also confirmed to Douglas:
"Douglas, does that mean there is no danger in Ravenclaw Tower now?
I don't want anything like Mr. Cruise to happen again..."
Douglas hesitated, but said:
"Basically there is no danger. The most dangerous place should actually be the entrance to the secret room, but it's already..."
After receiving Douglas' reply, Professor Flitwick felt a little relieved.
Of course, he didn't put all his hopes on Douglas.
After all, he is the head of Ravenclaw, and he decided to clean Ravenclaw Tower after returning.
Find all the hidden dark magic items so he can be at ease.
Dumbledore shrugged, then picked up a piece of dessert on Douglas' tea table, got up and said:
"In this case......
It's getting late, Minerva, you and everyone arrange for the students to go back first.
Douglas, I'm sorry to disturb your sweet dreams.
Good night! "
After finishing speaking, he left Douglas' office with all the professors.
Douglas watched the backs of everyone leaving, the corners of his mouth twitching...
Who gave them so much courage to dare to believe in themselves.
He has now confirmed that the two of them absolutely did not guess about the owl, they were purely imagining it on their own.
In the corridor, Dumbledore and Snape walked behind the crowd.
Snape asked suspiciously:
"He shouldn't be controlled by that person."
Dumbledore swallowed the snack in his mouth, and said with a little regret:
"It's a bit dry, I should have asked Douglas to make a cup of tea just now...
Aha, I mean, I really can't see it,
You should be able to notice that Douglas is very wary of people, every time we get along,
I seem to be able to feel a breath of Occlumency in him,
Of course not only today, but also when I was in school,
It breaks my heart that he hasn't changed a bit after all these years..."
Snape glanced at the corner of his mouth, I was also responsible for the Occlumency, how could I not know?
Dumbledore continued to say mysteriously:
"But from what I've been told, Douglas is pretty good at Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Ha ha... If he chooses to control Douglas, he will find that there is nothing he can do.
You have to have faith in him. "
Snape snorted disdainfully.
After all, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
The best way to hide a drop of water is to hide it in the sea...
