At nine o'clock in the morning, the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin House started, and the Quidditch pitch was bustling with activity.
Members of the two teams rode broomsticks and performed a show of prowess in the air, causing the entire Quidditch stadium audience to cheer and scream.
The game is about to begin, and the arena is also tense. The snake-lion battle is the most exciting game in Hogwarts.
In the Ravenclaw stands, Elena looked at her watch anxiously. It was already nine o'clock, Qin Weijie hadn't appeared yet, and the mirror image next to Elena was also very depressed at this time.
I promised to work for you for an hour, but it has been more than an hour now. You can't do this, you have to pay more! !
"Liar! Liar! I promised to come back on time! Big liar!" Elena murmured.
At this time, Tom, who was sitting on his broomstick, also deliberately approached the direction of the Ravenclaw stands. Seeing the lonely Irina, Tom lowered himself slightly and asked in the air: "Isn't he back yet?"
Elena shook her head, and Tom frowned slightly. Seeing the reflection in the stands, Tom guessed Qin Weijie's plan. Qin Weijie probably wanted to go to the Forbidden Forest to release the bird while everyone was watching the Quidditch match today. 'Queen Ant' Dementor.
At this time, everyone's attention was attracted by the game. It was his best choice to go to the Forbidden Forest now. But seeing that Qin Weijie had been there for nearly an hour, Tom had to worry now.
Tom looked at the teachers' bench again, and after scanning around the teachers' bench, Tom discovered that Professor Dumbledore was not in the stands.
"Professor Dumbledore should have gone to protect Vijay. In this case nothing will happen..." Tom chuckled and thought in his mind: "When you come back, let's see how I deal with you! He said we are good brothers, But you didn’t come to cheer me up! You bastard..."
At this time, the warm-up time was over. Mr. Les, the flying class teacher, pointed the wand in his hand to signal the start of the competition. For a while, the members of the Snake Court and the Lion Court were dodging and moving around, back and forth. The game was quite exciting.
When the game reached twenty minutes, Slytherin House was behind by fifteen points, but the situation on the field was still stalemate. Don't look at Gryffindor's fifteen-point lead, but in fact it was fifteen points in the Quidditch match. The difference is almost equal to no difference.
Tom was also sitting on the broom attentively at this time, observing the entire stadium. Today's Golden Snitch was a little naughty. He had been hiding for twenty minutes without even showing his face.
As the seeker, Tom could only watch the team members fight hard at this time, while he could only sit on the broom stupidly and look for a golden snitch the size of a ping pong ball.
"Sure enough, as Vijay said, there are still many loopholes in the sport of Quidditch. Although it is very passionate, it still cannot be compared with football in the Muggle world!"
Tom was thinking in his mind, and looked at the Ravenclaw stands and teachers' bench unconsciously.
In the Ravenclaw stands, Qin Weijie still did not appear.
At this time, there seemed to be something going on at the teacher's desk, and there was some chaos.
Not long after Tom looked at the teacher's chair, Principal Dippet and the deans of the three major colleges left the stands in a hurry, as if something had happened.
"Isn't it Vijay who got into trouble again?" Tom thought in his mind and couldn't help but become worried.
Professor Dumbledore was never seen at the teachers' table. At this time, the principals and deans all left in a hurry. Seeing Qin Weijie who had not returned for a long time, Tom had to think more.
At this time, Principal Dippet and the others did encounter some unexpected situations, but it was not as Tom had guessed. The matter really had nothing to do with Qin Weijie.
"Minerva, please make it clearer. What does it mean to disappear without reason?"
After Principal Dippet left the Quidditch stand, he quickly walked towards the office. On the way to the office, Professor McGonagall whispered in Principal Dippet's ear. The other three deans followed behind them. Although They wanted to hear some inside information, but Professor McGonagall's voice was too soft, and the three of them couldn't hear it clearly.
Since this year's Charms class is taught by Laveulus, Professor McGonagall's position has changed. This year, Professor McGonagall is mainly responsible for helping the principal handle some tedious matters, which is somewhat similar to the position of the principal's secretary.
Just this morning, a group of teachers and students went to the Quidditch pitch to watch the game. Professor McGonagall did not rush to the pitch because she still had some work to deal with.
Not long ago, a snow-white owl broke through the window at a terrifying speed and landed on Principal Dippet's desk.
Looking at the snow-white owl with red eyes, Professor McGonagall's expression changed. The 'red-eyed snowy owl' was a special owl for emergency missions from the Ministry of Magic.
Professor McGonagall realized the urgency of the situation when she saw it was the 'Red-Eyed Snowy Owl', and quickly took the letter from the owl.
Since he is not Armando Dippet himself, Professor McGonagall does not have the right to read the entire letter and can only understand part of the information, and just part of the information has already sent chills down Professor McGonagall's back.
"Principal, I don't know the details~ As an 'informant' I can only get partial information. There is only one sentence in the information I came into contact with, 'Somme River, 17 students from Hogwarts Academy disappeared without reason. '" Professor McGonagall anxiously followed Principal Dippet and told him all the information he had learned.
Dippet walked into the office quickly with a gloomy face, picked up the letter on the table and read it quickly. The three deans and Professor McGonagall on the side didn't even dare to breathe at this time.
After a long time, Principal Dippet looked up at the four people after reading the letter: "Dumbledore hasn't come back yet?"
"I saw him once before the game. He went towards the Forbidden Forest." Horace Slughorn said thoughtfully.
Dippet: "Inform him to return immediately!"
"No need, principal, I'm back!"
As he spoke, Dumbledore walked into the principal's office, with Fawkes the Phoenix still squatting on his shoulders.
Dippet watched Dumbledore return and nodded: "Well, how's it going?"
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
"Okay, you guys sit down for a moment. I want to send a letter to Leonard Spencer Moon. We will talk about the current issue later."
After saying that, Dippet bent over his desk and started writing a letter. The five people present looked at each other, and then found a place to sit aside.
As soon as Slughorn sat down, he deliberately sat next to Dumbledore and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
Dumbledore smiled without saying a word, pointed at Principal Dippet, then put his index finger in front of his mouth and made a 'shh' gesture.
Slughorn looked at the mysterious Dumbledore, murmured and cursed softly: "It's such a sneaky day, I really don't understand how you suddenly became Dippet's lackey..."
