So even though she was sad, she didn't shed tears, but just held her father's hand harder.

"Mr. Lemo." Ringo said suddenly, attracting the attention of the father and daughter, "Let's settle the matter."

The werewolf Lemo nodded slightly: "Yes, it's clear."

"How long do you think you have left?"

"Tomorrow night at most."

"Very well, our transaction is still going on, but tonight, neither you nor Clara should want to be disturbed by me, an outsider, right?"

Ringo waved to a bluestone board next to him, and a pile of food and a doll appeared on it, "Late Christmas gifts and dinner, enjoy it."

Say it.

He took another deep look at the father and daughter, and then rode a broomstick soaring into the sky.

"Dad..." The wolf girl Clara looked at the plush toy with some emotion, but quickly returned to Lemo, "You really..."

"I'm really dying." Lemo picked up the plush toy and handed it to his daughter, "Don't be sad, Clara, this is the fate of our werewolves. Compared with those werewolves who died in various accidents, we should have died I hanged my life with unicorn blood, and I am very satisfied to see you again before I die."

The father and daughter sat on the bluestone slab.

under the moonlight...

in the snow...

They snuggled quietly, but a slight sobbing sound gradually came from the girl's throat.

Lemo didn't seem to hear it.

Continue talking to yourself:

"After I die, bury me and your mother together, and then you continue to wait here. The food should be enough for you for a few days. Then Ringo? Shelby will come to you, and you must be loyal to Him, become his subordinate, do things for him, he takes good care of his subordinates, you will definitely have a better life than following me, as long as you are loyal, you will definitely have enough food and drink, there is also wolf poison potion during the full moon, and you may be wiped out Get a hunting warrant, even go to a magic school, learn magic spells, grow up to be a beautiful big girl like your mother, and then find a husband who can accept you, get married, have children..."

……

The howling wind blew by.

Ringo rode a broomstick like a sharp arrow around a big bend and then swept across the black lake, separating the unfrozen black lake with a long crack.But he soon flew to the shore and fell down the cliff stairs.

Then the next moment.

A burst of exclamation came from the mouth of the little wizard not far away: "Oh! Merlin's beard, who do I see? Ringo? Shelby?"

The cry was like a stone falling into the water.

Layers of ripples quickly spread throughout the entrance hall of the auditorium.

The little wizards looked over one after another:

"It's really Shelby!"

"He's not dead?"

"Great, Ringo is not dead, he has returned to school, go and inform the professor!"

"He's riding a broomstick?"

"There's still so much dust on your face? What did you do? Could it be that you lost your way while traveling as "The Quibbler" said?"

"hiss……"

Fortunately, there are not many little wizards in the entrance hall and cliff stairs.

Ringo was not surrounded.

directly into the auditorium.

Then he caused an even bigger commotion in the auditorium—all the people who were eating put down their tableware, and each of them stared dumbfounded at the person they thought was dead, and the next moment, many people got up and walked over, seven Asking questions with a tongue, I want to eat a fresh and hot melon.

It's a pity they were one step too late.

Long before they gathered around, Penello, who was close to the entrance hall because he was a senior, stood up first, supported Ringo, and then yelled with the majesty of the prefect: "Get out of the way, let Ringo sit down!" Come down and talk!"

talking.

She refuses to be approached by anyone.

Supporting the dusty face of Ringo, he walked to his seat and sat down, and took advantage of the opportunity to cast a cleaning spell on Ringo.

"Ringo!" Hermione waited for the little lion to finally squeeze in, "What have you been doing these days?"

"Yeah! Do you know you're late? Even the papers say you..."

"What are you talking about?" Ringo looked at the crowd blankly while drinking the hot cocoa Penello handed over, "Sorry, I know I'm late, alas, it's a long story, you should tell me what happened first What's the matter..."

Hermione immediately rushed to the front of the crowd and said, "You didn't come on the first day of school. The professors have been looking for you all night. I heard that Professor McGonagall went to your house to look for you, but they still couldn't find you..."

She speaks very fast.

But the logic was clear, and Ringo quickly "understood" what had happened in the past few days.

After listening...

Ringo said with embarrassment: "So that's how it is...I'm so sorry, I originally wanted to fly all the way here on a broomstick. But I didn't expect to go in the wrong direction halfway and wasted a few days..."

"Is it really going to school on a broomstick? The "Quieker" made up the truth?" Ron exclaimed, "But thank God, you are fine. We were so worried a few days ago, Hermione and Harry wanders around the campus all day..."

"Thank you." Ringo thanked, then looked at Ron again, "Ron, have you received the money?"

"Received, I also bought a new wand, and my mother came back early and took me to Diagon Alley to buy it!" Ron was happy at first, but soon cried sadly, "It's a pity that she took away all the extra money, It is said that it will be reserved for the start-up capital of my future marriage..."

Say this.

The little wizards next to him all showed sympathy and concern.

seem……

Same world, same mom!

However, they didn't empathize for too long, and they were interrupted by McGonagall who rushed over. Although the serious professor had a straight face, he was obviously relieved the moment he saw Ringo. She passed through the crowd, seriously After looking at Ringo for a while, he said, "Shelby, come with me. You are four days late. You must have a lot to clarify."

"Good professor." Ringo stood up in shame and followed.

But before getting up, he patted the back of Penello's hand holding his clothes for comfort, and then followed Mag to the principal's office.

Inside sat the other three deans and Dumbledore.

Just entered.

The three deans spoke in unison:

"Mr. Shelby, what's going on? Where have you been these few days?"

"Oh, Shelby, as long as you're safe!"

"Ringo Shelby, when did you think that being praised as a genius can trample on school rules? Or are you ready to be locked up?"

Dumbledore didn't say a word.

But there was also a trace of seriousness on his usually kind face. He looked at Ringo seriously, and he didn't know what he was observing.

And Ringo...

It seemed that he knew he was wrong. Anyway, facing the inquiries of several professors, he kept a trace of apology on his face: "Sorry professors, I didn't expect that I would be late and cause such a big trouble. I'm sorry... I wanted to try Came to school on a broomstick, and set off two days early for this, but..."

"Just what?" Snape snorted coldly.

"It's just that the direction was wrong, so that I wasted a few days." Ringo took out a map of the UK from his backpack, on which the route was drawn, "First I went to Liverpool, then I adjusted the direction to Newcastle, and finally went to Newcastle. It took a few adjustments before returning to school."

Hear Ringo's explanation.

The professors are thoughtful.

Dumbledore also nodded slightly: "It seems that it can be explained, but obviously you have ignored the consequences of recklessness. Have your classmates told you what happened recently?"

"told……"

"You need confinement." McGonagall said, "Very severe confinement."

Ringo nodded distressed: "I am willing to accept the punishment."

"Very good, then you can leave, we will discuss a specific punishment result and pass it on to you..." McGonagall was about to take Ringo away.

But halfway there.

A large fiery red bird suddenly appeared in the room and uttered a deep cry.The next moment it landed on the bird stand and threw a parchment in front of Dumbledore.

Dumbledore picked it up and looked at it.

His face changed suddenly.

Before the professor next to him could ask why, he raised his head and said, "Minerva, don't go yet, I still have something to ask Shelby."

"What's wrong?" McGonagall and Lingozi turned their heads.

"Just before Shelby returned to school, an explosion occurred in the Bole family's safe house. According to the initial analysis report, all the Bole family were killed." Dumbledore looked into Ringo's eyes.

Ringo's eyes were full of bewilderment.

On the contrary, Mag next to him quickly reacted: "How is it possible? Albus, do you suspect that Shelby murdered the Bol family? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He is only so young, and the Bol family has four adults. people……"

As soon as this word comes out.

The bewilderment in Ringo's eyes turned into bewilderment.

But it soon turned into panic again, and then nodded: "Yes, no, it's not me... I haven't heard of the Bor family before."

"You must have heard of it, Shelby." Snape reminded, "Lucien Bole, who was disfigured by you, was a member of the Bole family. It seems that he died too. And just before you returned to school, soon Coincidence isn't it?

You have been missing for so many days, what are you doing?No one knows except you, but just after you returned to school, the Bor family, which can be said to be your enemy, was bombed to death. "

"It's really not me!" Ringo refuted him loudly, "Why do you think that I killed them because of a coincidence? Then when you are not in school, people die all the time in this world. Could it be you killed..."

"Shelby..." Dumbledore interrupted Ringo gently, "You are too tired and need to rest. If you don't mind, just sleep in my office. Don't be afraid, boy, if it wasn't for you , please believe that the professors will help you clear up your grievances.”

"Snape wants to frame me..." Ringo stared at Snape hostilely.

"He won't, no professor would harm his students." Dumbledore walked up to Ringo, "Believe me, kid, everything will pass after you sleep..."

「091」Ministry of Magic

Dumbledore's credit is perfectly adequate.

Although there was a short period of seriousness, he has always been calm and gentle on the whole. Ringo was gradually persuaded by him and agreed to this "house arrest" that he seemed unaware of - spending the night in the principal's office.

There are beds here.

In the attic above the middle hall, Ringo was placed there.

It's just that his face has always been ugly, dazed and uneasy, like a frightened little animal.While lying on the bed, he kept staring blankly at the ceiling.

at the same time……

Also heard the discussion of the following professors:

"Albus, what's going on?"

"Why did the Boer family suddenly..."

"Yeah, I remember them well, they lived in the safe house, and the owls got lost while delivering a message to Bol..."

"The secret keeper of the safe house is their old Bole. If old Bole dies, everyone who has visited their house and knows the location will become the secret keeper." Dumbledore's voice sounded, "And when someone goes to check, Only to find that the entire safe house had been reduced to a sea of ​​flames, and after the fire was turned off, there were five charred bodies inside, so we notified the Ministry of Magic."

"Five? Still in the safe house? It's even less likely that Shelby did it."

"I don't think he did it either."

"Then you still..."

"There are always special circumstances. At least after the news of Shelby's return to school spreads, the Ministry of Magic will definitely send someone to interrogate. If nothing can be interrogated under such circumstances, then Shelby can naturally get rid of the suspicion."

"It's just that the child is probably going to be terrified."

"Don't worry, he won't."

"Severus..."

"Don't stare at me, I just think he is suspected, but I don't think he did it. Although he always uses his brain on things that waste his time, one thing I can be sure of is that he is a smart man. If He really did it, and he wouldn't be so high-profile that people would associate things with him..."

"Hehe, then you didn't make it clear to him just now."

"Why should I make it clear to him?" Snape's voice faded away, "Being frightened is part of the punishment, otherwise he might do something that worries you more than being four days late for school... "
