Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Chapter 137 The elusive Sniff

"Dean, you are finally back. I can't help but go find Professor McGonagall!" When Dean returned to the dormitory at the right time, Seamus gave him a warm hug.

Seeing that Dean had returned safely, everyone else said hello and began to prepare for bed.

"Don't be like this, I just looked for some food on the way." Dean covered it up.

The time spent negotiating with Quirrell was indeed a bit long, and he had to find an excuse to fill in the gap.

"I understand, I understand. You must have been delayed for a while on the way to find food." Seamus smiled knowingly.

"Well, it did take me a while to find the kitchen." Dean said, opening his pillow, and he found that the tracking Galleons were indeed gone.

Although Quirrell had previously hinted that something might be wrong with Garen, Dean was still a little surprised.

"Dean, what's wrong?" Seamus noticed that Dean's expression was wrong and asked quickly.

"After the theft the day before yesterday, I deliberately put a Galleung under my pillow...and now the Galleung is gone," Dean said.

"So the thieving Niffler hasn't left?" Ron suddenly became more energetic.

Although everyone talked openly that night, Ron felt awkward all the time. He always felt that everyone was looking at him strangely behind his back.

Ron vowed to catch the Niffler and prove his innocence, but he had no clue - he was not like Dean who could take out a real Galleons as bait.

"You need to use the past retrieval spell to investigate to find out." Dean said uncertainly.

"You're right, maybe it's Banban..." Halfway through, Simo suddenly realized that he had lost his words and covered his mouth in panic.

Dean finally knew why "Mission: Ron's Injustice" was not completed, because Seamus still doubted Scabbers in his heart.

"Seamus, what did you say?" Harry glared at Seamus.

"I'm just guessing. After all, Scabbers hasn't shown up, right?" Seamus shrugged, "Ron, I don't mean anything else. I just think that the Niffler's appearance was too coincidental. Maybe it was Scabbers who caused it— -Everything is possible."

Dean wanted to testify to Ron because he saw Scabbers getting into the Knights Bus in the morning, but unfortunately he couldn't explain why he appeared in Hogsmeade, so he could only worry.

"Let's try the past retrieval spell." Dean could only suggest this, "Maybe there will be new discoveries."

"I don't have a problem with that," Seamus said, looking at Ron.

"Seamus, if this proves that it was not Scabbers who took the Galleons, I hope you can sincerely apologize to Ron." Dean said.

"I can apologize now. I really have no other intention. I just want to catch the thief as soon as possible." Simo said.

"Everyone, please step aside - let's start after dinner and before everyone returns to the dormitory?" Dean asked for other people's opinions.

"Yes, we all returned to the dormitory after dinner. The Niffler definitely didn't show up. It must have stolen your Galleons before that." Neville analyzed seriously.

"Since everyone has no objections, then - Eddie Mux!" In fact, Dean wanted to show off wandless casting, but unfortunately it was too shocking, so he took out the blackthorn wand and pretended to do it.

Since the goal was clear this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on the position of Dean's pillow in the hazy curtain without blinking.

The curtain gradually changes from dark to light, showing that the night has gradually gone back to daytime, and the scene in the curtain has not changed at all.

Just when everyone was about to give up, a bright silver light suddenly appeared on Dean's bedside, and then a black hole appeared in the middle of the silver light, and a Sniffer poked its head out of it.

In its hand was an exquisite silver alarm clock - the same one Dean had lost.

The most incredible thing is that the silver light that created the black hole came from the alarm clock. As Xiu Xiu got out of the black hole, the silver light suddenly converged into the alarm clock.

Xiu Xiu swept through the dormitory as usual. Unfortunately, due to the theft the night before, everyone kept their belongings tightly. In the end, Xiu Xiu only gained the tracking Galleons that Dean had pressed under his pillow.

After putting Galleons in his stomach pocket, Xiu Xiu fiddled with the alarm clock again, and then the silver light appeared again. After Xiu Xiu got into the black hole in the middle of the silver light, he completely disappeared from the dormitory.

This Xiu Xiu has become a sperm!

After the effect of the past retrieval spell disappeared, the atmosphere in the dormitory was extremely awkward.

Now Ron's grievances were completely cleared, but Dean inevitably became the object of everyone's suspicion - even Neville could see that the key to the elusiveness of the Niffler was the silver alarm clock. , and that alarm clock happened to belong to Dean, which made everyone have to think about it in some ways.

Dean himself found it difficult to explain, after all, he was the last one to come back that night.

If I were to make a malicious guess, he might have helped hide Sniff and the stolen goods, so he came back late.

"I believe it's definitely not Dean, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately placed a galleung under the pillow to lure Niffler. Wouldn't that be exposing himself?" Ron was the first to break the silence and said.

He has experienced the feeling of being wronged, so he knows that Dean needs the comfort and trust of others most at this moment.

"I also believe it's not Dean." Seamus said immediately, rarely standing on the same side as Ron, "I'm afraid Dean himself doesn't know that the alarm clock has such a magical effect, otherwise he would never put it on the bed casually. head."

"That's right, Dean's family is too poor to consider the things we lost." Harry reluctantly found an excuse.

"The book, the book says that the Niffler is a very smart magical animal. Maybe after it stole Dean's alarm clock, it accidentally discovered the special function of the alarm clock." Neville obviously also stood by Dean. This way.

"Thank you everyone." Dean was a little touched. Everyone trusted him so much. To be honest, he was surprised.

Since entering school, Dean has always regarded himself as more mature than others, and subconsciously disdains being associated with these first-year youngsters, so even though he has become friends with Ron very early, and Seamus is also the official partner in the original work BFFs, but actually kind of keep their roommates at arm's length.

What happened today really touched Dean, and he began to reflect on whether what he had done before was a bit too taken for granted.

His roommates can all become important characters in the original novel, so why should he underestimate them?

It seems that it is time to adjust my mentality and reposition my relationship with my roommates.

"Ron, I must solemnly apologize to you. I did have a little distrust of you before - I guess it was my mother's attitude towards the Weasley family that affected me - but I understand now that unless I am sure You shouldn't doubt others without providing evidence." While Dean was reflecting on himself, Seamus had already apologized to Ron readily.

Dean is actually a bigger suspect than Ron in this matter, but Seamus trusts Dean without reservation. Thinking about it on the other hand, is he too harsh on Ron?

It was after thinking about this clearly that Seamo realized his mistake.

As Seamus formally apologized to Ron, the system prompted that "Mission: Ron's Injustice" was successfully completed.
