Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

"Oh?"

Ryan raised his eyebrows.

"I shouldn't have taken Ron and Neville to rescue Malfoy - especially Neville. His spell skills are very good now, and he knows Herbology. He can definitely pass the test..."

Harry said so.

But Ron, who was standing by, was filled with questions - what did he mean by "especially Neville"?

"What about saving Malfoy? Do you regret it?"

So Ryan asked again.

"No regrets."

This time, Harry didn't hesitate at all: "This is what you told me, Ryan - don't regret what happened, and don't worry about what didn't happen."

"I don't like Malfoy, and maybe I shouldn't have saved him, but I made that choice at the time...so, I won't regret it."

Harry had understood this as early as last year when he was hit by the Killing Curse.

"That sounds good."

So Ryan also said with a smile.

"But speaking of this... Malfoy seems very eager to join the Pavatto Club."

Speaking of this, Harry remembered Malfoy's abnormality.

He told Ryan what he had heard from Malfoy earlier.

Ryan nodded slightly: "I know, Harry."

As the owner of the forbidden forest authority and the creator of the maze.

Of course, he knew very well what had just happened in the maze.

"Get some rest, Harry."

After he said this, he walked towards Malfoy.

When Malfoy saw this scene, he immediately became nervous.

He tried to look away, but Ryan still walked in front of him.

"Mr. Malfoy."

"W-what...Elias, you..."

Malfoy said nervously.

"Don't be nervous, I won't turn you into a werewolf too."

Ryan smiled, but the joke only made Malfoy more nervous.

"You could perhaps have been more forthcoming."

"what?"

Hearing this, Malfoy frowned.

"I mean, you can be less secretive about expressing your gratitude."

Ryan glanced at Malfoy - he could actually see that the young wizard was grateful to Harry and the other two for saving him.

"Stop joking, Elias!"

But Malfoy was very excited after hearing this.

He straightened up, his expression angry: "Grateful? I am the noble Malfoy..."

"How are your father and mother doing lately?"

Ryan interrupted Malfoy before he could finish his words.

The question Ryan asked made Draco Malfoy's expression change suddenly.

"Varied..."

His voice was like a goose with its neck strangled, and he was momentarily speechless.

His expression changed uncontrollably at this moment - fear, shock, confusion, and suspicion.

"I...I don't understand what you're saying!"

Finally, he said in a hoarse voice.

"Oh, never mind."

But Ryan just smiled and said, "Just asking casually - after all, you know, your father, Mr. Lucius, and I are close friends regardless of age, and we have always had a good relationship."

What’s good about it?

Malfoy glanced at Ryan and wanted to ask this question.

But in the end he obviously didn't ask, and he even breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ryan didn't continue to ask questions.

But Malfoy obviously didn't know.

At this moment, Ryan had actually seen a lot from his attitude.

"interesting."

Ryan murmured in his heart.

He also didn't expect that the test of the Pavatu Club could actually allow him to discover some problems among the pure-blood families.

From Malfoy's attitude, Ryan could analyze one thing.

That is, Malfoy must have some secrets - perhaps a mission.

Ryan could see that Malfoy was obviously concerned and even afraid of this task.

This gave Ryan an idea of ​​the source of the mission - a pure-blood family, or Voldemort.

And apart from that.

Malfoy's mumbling when he was about to lose consciousness made Ryan vaguely aware of the bargaining chip of the pure-blood family.

Draco's parents, Mr. Lucius and his wife, may have been imprisoned or something like that - the pure-blood family used them as bargaining chips to control Draco.

"Of course...it could also be the other way around."

Ryan mused.

Chapter 171: The Assessment is Over! List and Calculation!

A young wizard like Draco Malfoy is undoubtedly easy to see through.

At least now, Ryan easily judged that the other party must have some secret mission, and that mission was most likely related to the pure-blood family's plan this semester.

As for the content of the mission, Ryan can currently confirm that the pure-blood family hopes that Draco can join the Pavatu Club.

At the same time, his original intention to carry out this plan was not out of his own will like some loyal and fanatical Death Eaters, but perhaps he was forced to do so - which made it very obvious in his performance.

"Why the Malfoys?"

Ryan thought to himself.

The answer is self-evident—the encounter in Diagon Alley must have been the trigger.

"The death of Arnos Dohorov and the Malfoys' successful escape... perhaps this led to their isolation and rejection by their pure-blood families? Or perhaps it led to Voldemort's suspicion?"

"So he sent Draco Malfoy to carry out the mission. By controlling him, he also controlled the Malfoy family, ensuring that they would not betray him... After all, for Voldemort now, the power of the Malfoy family is indeed extremely important."

"Although Mr. Lucius is a bad bastard, he does care enough about his son."

Ryan analyzed.

But at the same time...

"A mission performed by a second-year wizard would definitely not be the most critical part of the mission, and there would definitely be some means to ensure that he does not leak secrets..."

This is an inevitable move.

Ryan wasn't sure what the method was to ensure Draco didn't reveal the secret, but he knew it definitely wouldn't be something well-intentioned.

So Ryan did not choose to ask Draco directly, but simply turned and left after confirming the situation.

And with a reckless rescue, Harry and others' assessment journey came to an end.

They received a brief one-hour treatment between treatments - of course, they didn't actually receive any effective treatment. Their main purpose of lying in the room was to make Madam Pomfrey marvel at the power of the life magic that Ryan mastered.

Anyway, after an hour, they were able to leave the treatment room.

At this moment, they were surprised to find that they could actually see the scene inside the maze from the audience seats outside the maze.

This made Harry and Ron's expressions freeze suddenly, and even Malfoy, who was allowed to leave the treatment room at the same time as them, changed his expression drastically.

Because they realized that this meant that everything they had done before in the maze had been seen by others.

Malfoy began to turn pale, and Harry and Ron were extremely embarrassed.

"We went to rescue Malfoy! Harry! We got eliminated for it – damn… Fred and George must have cracked up!"

Ron wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

At this moment, Draco Malfoy's face was even paler.

He was almost frantically thinking about whether he had done anything out of line, especially something that might expose the mission given to him by the great Dark Lord.

After thinking about it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief - he felt that he was not exposed.

The only problem was, the way the young Slytherin wizards looked at him at that moment - well... he was obviously facing a similar situation as Harry and Ron.

But fortunately...

At this moment, neither the little lions nor the little snakes had time to pay attention to them.

Because at this moment, the test in the maze is still going on.

Harry quickly saw the content of the test.

He saw several young wizards uniting together and fighting against a powerful frost-bristed boar. This powerful magical animal had a thick skin and powerful frost magic, which put them in a difficult battle.

"They are all sixth-year seniors. Two of them wisely chose to unite as soon as they entered the maze, forming an exploration team—they called themselves 'Silver Skyline'."
