0059 Rumors

After the petrochemical incident, Hogwarts' management of students became more stringent. Not only did the curfew time at night be advanced by an hour, but the relatively deserted places in the academy also prohibited students from going there.

What made the students most depressed was that the ongoing inter-school Quidditch competition was temporarily stopped due to this petrochemical incident.

According to the school, Quidditch will not continue until the real reason why the student was petrified is found.

Although the school's decision made the students feel very depressed, everyone can understand that the school is full of dangers. As long as the murderer is not found, the incident of the students being petrified may happen again.

Soon what everyone was worried about happened. Two more students were petrified in the school. One of the two students came from a mixed-race wizard family and the other came from an ordinary family. It seemed that this also confirmed the legend of the secret room circulating in Hogwarts.

Two students were petrified again, and the impact of this incident has also expanded a lot. Not only many reporters from the wizarding world want to enter the school for interviews, but even the Ministry of Magic decided to intervene immediately.

According to the latest requirements of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts must find out the reason for the pebbing of the students within half a month, otherwise Hogwarts will be closed indefinitely until the real murderer is captured.

At this time, rumors spread in the academy that August was the heir of the Secret Room, and many students believed such rumors.

In addition to August's family background and his own talent, his lack of people in the shelter is also an important reason that many students suspect.

Now when August is walking on the road, there are always many students looking at him with various complex gazes.

There are fear, disgust, hatred, and even worship. Whether it is a mixed-blood wizard or a pure-blood wizard background, it seems that August is the real murderer who caused the students to petrify.

Although the suspicion of the students around him had no effect on August, he also hoped to find the murderer as soon as possible.

On the one hand, he was curious about who was going to be a lithochemical chemist in Hogwarts, and what purpose was hidden in it?

On the other hand, the school Hogwarts is still of great value to August. He has planned to stay here for a long time until he can learn all the knowledge he can learn before leaving.

If the Hogwarts School is now closed due to the petrochemical incident, August's own interests will be greatly affected.

Just as August was dining in the restaurant while thinking about the whole story, Professor McGonagall suddenly came here and told him that Principal Dumbledore wanted to talk to him.

At this time, some students around began to whisper again. Many people said that this was evidence that August was the murderer that the school discovered, and now they were going to talk to him.

When Professor McGonagall heard these words, he immediately criticized several students with a serious expression, and also deducted tens of them to each student who was walking rumored.

Several of these students who deducted points were from Gryffindor College managed by Professor McGonagall. It can be seen that Professor McGonagall is indeed a fair and selfless professor who deserves respect.

Then August followed Professor McGonagall to a lift under the highest tower of Hogwarts. McGonagall looked at August and smiled and said, "The principal is waiting for you at the top, and the command is 'iced lemon juice'."

August said to Professor McGonagall with a serious expression: "Thank you for your righteousness just now, but do you know what happened to Principal Dumbledore this time?"

Professor McGonagall said: "As long as there is no conclusive evidence, as a professor, I will not allow any student's reputation to be slandered. This time, Professor Dumbledore asked you for an incident about the petrification of the students. As long as you have a clear conscience, you can treat this conversation easily."

Augustus nodded, then whispered the command of the elevator, walked into the elevator and came to Dumbledore's office on the top floor.

When August came to Dumbledore's office, the tall wizard with white hair and beard was sitting behind the desk with a book reading.

At this time, Dumbledore did not wear the black wizard robe with the Hogwarts logo he wore when he was present in public, but was wearing a very loose robe, which looked like a comfortable home outfit.

"Ah! Mr. August, please sit down. This time I invite you here, just want to have a casual chat. I don't know what kind of drink you want, butter beer or iced lemon juice?"

Dumbledore said with a smile when he saw August appear.

As the most powerful wizard in the world, August was also very curious about him, but after coming to the academy, he had no other contact except when he occasionally saw him at some school activities.

A person can achieve such achievements, and his outstanding performance is not only the magical abilities he possesses as a wizard, but also has a personal charm that is far beyond ordinary people.

August naturally walked to the chair opposite Dumbledore's desk and sat down slowly, then smiled and said to Dumbledore: "Professor, I'm not as old as I can drink beer. If you are convenient, a glass of lemon juice is enough."

Looking at August, who was calm and without a trace of restraint, Dumbledore's eyes flashed with admiration.

Then he snapped his fingers, and a few lemon and a pot of clear water flew from the wine cabinet beside him. Then he quickly made a glass of iced lemon juice in a glass and flew in front of August.

August picked up the iced lemon juice and took a sip. A refreshing feeling swept across his body, and even his head felt a little clearer.
