Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

At the same time, he did not forget to signal Hermione with his eyes.

Ryan: "Tell Ron to stop talking nonsense, or cast a Stunning Spell on him if that doesn't work."

Hermione: "Don't worry, I understand."

When Ryan left the Room of Requirement, he found that it was already dark.

The bright moon rose into the sky, and under the cover of clouds, it became an oval shape, like an Easter egg.

Ryan looked out the window at the castle.

It was spring now, and the lawn outside the castle had lost its snow and was now green, with new buds dancing a waltz like emerald green.

In the warm breeze of the spring night, Ryan saw fireflies dancing in the dark night.

Their tail lights swayed in the darkness, making Hogwarts look bright and warm.

Ryan could feel their life force, and he even saw a ladybug fly in through the window and dance near the lights in the distance.

"It's beautiful... just like it used to be."

Ryan laughed.

So he continued to watch, his gaze guided by the fireflies towards the clear waters of the Black Lake, towards the Forbidden Forest and the dock in the distance...

"Dock?"

Ryan suddenly reacted.

He suddenly thought of the news Seamus had brought today, and the news Harry and Ron had brought today about MacColl Dohoroff.

"All right..."

So he glanced towards the dock with a subtle expression.

"It's still early anyway."

He muttered, then moved and slowly floated out of the castle and headed towards the dock.

And Ryan didn't notice.

After he flew away from the castle.

"Boom."

A wall suddenly split in the middle.

To be exact—originally there was no second wall here.

But at a certain moment, this wall suddenly appeared.

And from the crack in the wall, Peeves floated out dejectedly.

At this moment, the mouth of this special ghost that Ryan had not seen for a long time disappeared - there was only a nose and eyes on his face.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

He whimpered, and then, as if with someone's permission, his mouth grew back.

"Ms. Grey, please let me go... I don't intend to tell anyone about you, and I don't intend to complain about Elias to Filch..."

"If you want to see him, you can just go there directly. Why do you need me... wuwuwu!"

He opened his mouth to beg for mercy, but his voice was a little too loud.

Then his mouth disappeared again.

And behind him, was also inside the wall.

A beautiful lady in a white gauze dress came out.

She ignored Peeves who started to whimper again, stood where Ryan had just stood, and looked at the scenery Ryan had just seen.

"Yes, Brother Ryan."

She looked at the fireflies and the beautiful castle, whispering softly.

"Hogwarts is so beautiful...just like it used to be."

she sighed.

But her eyes suddenly dimmed - filled with sadness.

Time flies, but the lights of the fireflies and the moonlight make it seem as if nothing has changed.

But she was the only one who knew.

The years of spring going and autumn coming have passed a thousand times.

And it is at this moment...

"Helena..."

A low, sad, resentful, and guilty voice came.

There seemed to be a smell of blood in the air.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Peeves began to tremble with fear.

But the woman's expression only became cold and apathetic.

Her white dress fluttered, and the next moment her figure disappeared again in the moonlit castle.

The second wall that appeared out of nowhere disappeared without a trace the next moment.

of course.

As for Ryan, he naturally didn't know that someone in the castle had been secretly watching him for a long time.

At this moment, he had just arrived at the dock.

The wooden boards of the dock have turned a copper-green color due to long-term immersion in the Black Lake, and moon moss grows in the cracks.

The small boat used by freshmen for school admission was turned upside down on the shore of the dock, and a pink ladybug was flying in the distance at the water's edge.

Ryan saw the little black-haired witch by the dock almost at first sight.

Pansy Parkinson had changed a lot since Ryan first met her.

Ryan remembered that when he first saw her, the little witch could hardly hide the arrogance in her expression.

But now, she looked much calmer as she leaned against the dock.

However, the moment she saw Ryan, her expression became visibly nervous.

"Elias."

She hurriedly stood up and took a few steps towards Ryan. Her shoes stepped on the moonlight moss, causing it to emit a faint blue fluorescence.

"Oh, Miss Parkinson."

Ryan's attitude towards her was quite good - he still remembered the little witch's reaction when he went to the Slytherin common room.

She wanted to help him at the time, and Ryan obviously appreciated it.

"Seamus said you had something to ask me?"

He said so.

"Ah."

After hearing this, Parkinson hesitated for a moment before he nodded.

She clearly had no intention of keeping things secret. "Sirius Black... you and Dumbledore went to Azkaban—didn't you?"

she asked.

Ryan nodded.

"Yes - you might be asking if Dumbledore and I let him go?"

he asked casually.

But to his surprise, Pansy Parkinson shook her head after hearing this.

"No, no—I'm not here to get information."

She said simply: "I'm here to remind you...you have to be careful."

"...What?"

So Ryan frowned.

"and many more."

He stopped Pansy from speaking any further and waved his hand gently around him.

"All sounds are silent. (Omnisonum)"

He chanted the spell softly.

Then, an invisible barrier began to spread around him and Pansy Parkinson.

The sound of the Black Lake's waves faded into the magic, and the sound of the ladybug's wings fell silent.

From that moment on, no one else could hear his conversation with Pansy - not even the nearby animals could get close.

"Father told me that because of Sirius Black's incident, someone wants to use this to target you and Dumbledore."

"She said that for some reason, some members of her family have become very radicalized recently."

And what she said obviously caught Ryan completely off guard.

"Let me be careful? Is someone going to come to the school to assassinate me?"

He said in surprise.

"?"

Then, a question mark seemed to appear in Pansy's head: "No, of course not."

She glanced at Ryan and said, "Attacking a young wizard in Hogwarts... No one dares to take the responsibility!"

Ryan nodded in understanding.

"So, they're going to attack me outside of school?"
