Ringo lost his voice.

After a while, he suddenly found an old man with a white beard standing beside him, and he flinched in fright: "Principal?"

"Can't sleep?" Dumbledore said.

"Um……"

"Then close your eyes and rest for a while, I am afraid that the entire British magic world will not be peaceful tomorrow..."

……

Dumbledore was right - the wizarding world was about to shake.

But somewhat conservative.

Because this time was not the next day, but in the evening of that day, the "Daily Prophet" printed an evening paper, the content of which was mainly about the sudden return of Hogwarts missing freshman Ringo Shelby, and the The news of the collective death of the Earle family was sent to the subscribers of the daily newspaper through owls.

— they can pay again the next day.

therefore……

Except for those who were automatically upgraded to keepers, as well as members of the Ministry of Magic and their families, wizards, including many Hogwarts students, had already known the two news that night.

And quickly sparked a discussion.

To be honest, the Evening Prophet did not link these two events together, but... even if these two events are simply juxtaposed, it is enough to make people think.

"The Bol family's safe house was blown up, and Shelby went back to school an hour later, oh my god..."

"Merlin's beard, what a coincidence!"

"There shouldn't be any connection between them, right? Ringo once beat Bol to disfigurement and forced him to drop out of school. There is absolutely a motive for this!"

"Yes, they are enemies..."

"It's no wonder that Shelby returned to school four days late. Could it be that the purpose of these four days is to take revenge on the Bor family?"

"What nonsense, even if you want to retaliate, it's Bor who retaliates against Ringo. How could it be Ringo who retaliates against Bor?"

"It's not certain. Looking at Slytherin College, many seniors didn't provoke him. But in order to prevent problems, he hung them on the tree... Maybe he was worried about Bor The family retaliated against themselves, so they acted early..."

"I think it's very possible..."

On campus, little wizards are discussing everywhere.

And off campus.

The pure-blooded family members who subscribed to newspapers every day fell into silence and panic.

Many purebloods who were closer to the Boer family even moved out of their hometown overnight, fearing that the murderer would not leave, and slowly bared their fangs at them in the dark.

"It can't really be Ringo Shelby?"

"How is it possible, he is just a first-year freshman!"

"Anything is possible, after all, the timing of his return to school is too coincidental!"

"So you think Shelby did it?"

"That's right! After all, he and the Boer family are enemies!"

"Then you still move? If it's true that Shelby is the murderer as you said, then he has returned to school now, why do you still want to move?"

"I……"

The man was wronged by what he said, so he snorted and stopped talking, and the opponents did not take advantage of the victory to continue to mock.

In fact, although there are two opinions, many purebloods still don't think that a first-year freshman can obliterate a pureblood family.

After all, it was too absurd and unbelievable, but the timing coincidence between the two made them fall into deep thought...

But there are also families who know the truth.

Selwyn Manor.

Several members sat around the living room with stern faces, and an Evening Prophet was placed on the coffee table in front of them.

"The extra corpse is Luka." A white-haired old man said, "He went to visit Mortina today, and it is said that he wanted to celebrate the death of Ringo Shelby..."

"But he didn't die. He even killed Luka and Motina's family. It was definitely him! Isn't it? Others don't know, but we know that he was definitely killed by the bomb..." A young man said angrily .

"Yes, it's him, we all know it's him, but so what? Can we tell the truth to the Ministry of Magic? If we tell the truth, what awaits us is the guilt of participating in the murder!"

"But let him pretend to be innocent?"

The young man kicked the coffee table.

But he was quickly hugged by the woman next to him for reassurance: "He will not be an innocent person. Evening News has listed him and the Boer family side by side. What do you think other newspapers will report? Will they be linked? And there is such a possibility." If not, how could the Ministry of Magic let him go?"

"He will definitely be investigated!"

"How can a mere first-year student escape the investigation of the Ministry of Magic? He will pay the price..."

……

"Missing freshman reappears, may be involved in murder of Bor family"

"Ringo Shelby, The Executioner at 11"

……

The next day, with the shock in the magical world caused by various tabloids linking the two incidents together, the Ministry of Magic had to issue a statement announcing that the murderer would be punished absolutely, and immediately dispatched a team of Aurors. Go to Hogwarts.

—Interrogation of suspect Ringo Shelby.

"092" perfect proof of no crime

Rufus Scrimgeour, head of the Auror office, followed McGonagall to the tower, followed by two Aurors.But all of them remained silent, watching the students pointing around vigilantly.

A little further back.

It was Rita Skeeter, a female reporter with delicate curly hair, and his photographer.Although knowing that the interrogation of Ringo is the top priority.

But Skeeter still took the time to grab a few little wizards and ask questions.

such as:

"If Ringo Shelby is a murderer, will it affect your daily life?"

"Are you afraid of going to the same school as a murderer?"

"How do you think he killed someone?"

"It is said that Shelby once beat Lucien Ball to disfigurement. Do you know how he beat him? What spell was used?"

It is obvious what is inside and outside the words.

She had already preconceived that Ringo was a murderer, which made Hermione who was on the side almost jump out of anger and curse her——she was held back by Sister Patil.

But Penello was not stopped.

But this wise prefect of the Eagle Academy didn't say any foul words. She just let a shorthand quill beside Skeeter record all the questions the other party had just said, and at the same time blocked the other party's only way. When passing by, he said faintly: "If Ringo is not a murderer, all your remarks just now are enough to constitute defamation, then may I ask, reporter Skeeter, are you willing to be responsible for these words?"

"I was just joking." Skeeter saw what Penello wrote down, and immediately raised a fake smile.

"Mr. Aurors." Penello suddenly stopped the Aurors in front, "This Rita Skeeter reporter just admitted that she is a murderer. She once murdered a driver, a farmer, and a wizard. and seven underage children."

Whoa!

The surrounding sounds immediately disappeared.

The walking Auror also stopped, and Scrimgeour asked before the female reporter broke out, "Are you serious?"

"It's not serious..." Penello apologized, "I'm sorry, I was joking, everything is based on what the reporter said just now, of course, I still suggest you check her..."

"You bullshit!" cried Skeeter at last. "You slander!"

Penello looked at her innocently: "What are you talking about? Weren't we joking just now?"

"you……"

"Miss Clearwater." McGonagall interrupted their quarrel, "You must pay attention to the occasion when joking. If you are involved in slander, I don't think these Mr. Aurors will spare the slanderer!"

"Yes..." Penello nodded in agreement.

And Skeeter's face became more and more ugly under the eyes of everyone, and immediately put away the shorthand quill and parchment, and followed in a gray manner.

Soon...

A group of people came to the principal's office.

After a brief exchange of greetings with Dumbledore, Scrimgeour walked in, and saw the black-haired boy drinking milk inside.

Just a glance.

He froze for a moment.

hiss……

A bit like……

He didn't recover until his subordinate Kings came and pushed him: "Ringo Shelby, I have been exchanging letters through letters before, and today is the first time we meet, Rufus Scrimgeour."

"Hello, Mr Scrimgeour."

Ringo immediately put down the milk, shook hands with him a little cautiously, and then looked at the Aurors and the reporter with complicated eyes: "Are you here to interrogate me?"

"It's not an interrogation, it's just a routine questioning. You can continue to drink your milk and just chat as usual."

Although Scrimgeour was stern and serious, he didn't go to the point of targeting children. He sat across from Ringo and looked into Ringo's eyes, "We want to know what you did on January 1th, that is, yesterday. ?”

"Fly to the school on a broomstick." Ringo seemed to be in no mood to drink milk. Hearing this, his expression was very depressed, "I really didn't kill anyone!"

"Where's the broom?"

"Where……"

Following what Ringo pointed out, Auror Kings walked over and picked up the broom to check it: "From the traces of use, it has been used frequently recently."

"Is there any other evidence?" asked Scrimgeour.

"Yes! I took a lot of pictures with the camera intermittently along the way." Ringo took out the camera from his backpack, "It's just a Muggle camera. To make me move inside, I need developing potions."

"I can help with this." Skeeter spoke immediately, looking excitedly at Ringo's camera.

But Scrimgeour didn't believe her, and still asked Kings to hold the camera: "There should be a developing potion in the school, ask Dumbledore for it."

"I'll go right away." Jin Silai turned and went out.

Scrimgeour looked at Ringo again: "The time of the camera is not continuous, I still need to check your wand."

"Wand?" Ringo was taken aback, his face obviously tangled, "What do you check the wand for?"

"Use a flashback spell to check what spells you have used recently." Scrimgeour narrowed his eyes. "Why? Don't you want to? This is the best chance to clear your grievances."

Skeeter beside him let out a few strange laughs.

The shorthand quill in front of her seemed to feel the mood of the owner, happily flipping up and down on the parchment.

"I have no chance of refusing, right?" Ringo took out his wand slightly melancholy, "You check it."

Scrimgeour drew out his wand.

——"Flash Back to the Curse"

next moment.

A faint green light emerges from Ringo's wand, forming an ever-changing picture, which shows the previous spells used by this wand.

cleansing spell;

lighting spell;

Levitation spell;

Warming mantra...

It seems to be just a rare and ordinary spell.
