“It was after the first Quidditch match last school year,” Roger began to tell the story between himself and Lisa Dupin, “Maybe my performance on the court that day was too charming…”
“Ahem!” Professor Flitwick looked at him sternly.
“I performed very well on the court that day.” Roger immediately changed his words, “Anyway, after the game, Lisa confessed to me in private.”
“And then you agreed?” Professor Flitwick asked.
Roger shook his head quickly, “No! I didn’t!”
He said, “I rejected her! She was too young, only 11 years old, and I have no interest in children.”
“But she never gave up!” Roger said distressedly, “I rejected her many times during that time, but in the end she said…”
“What?” Professor Flitwick asked again.
“She said…”
Roger’s face became very tangled, and he turned to look at Eddie.
Eddie was trying hard to hold back his laughter at the moment. Seeing Roger’s pleading eyes, he kindly helped Roger explain: “Professor, let me help him. Lisa said to Roger…”
There was a hint of laughter in his tone.
“She said that she was not really in love with him. She was just curious about love, and Roger was the most ‘casual’ boy in Ravenclaw. She thought he could let her experience the feeling of love. But she didn’t expect that Roger was a softie.”
“Puff.”
Captain Bruce finally couldn’t help it. He put his fist against his mouth, turned his head to face the wall, and his shoulders trembled.
Professor Flitwick asked in disbelief: “Is this true?”
Is this what an 11-year-old girl would say?
“It’s true! Professor! Please believe me!” Roger opened his eyes wide, trying to use his most sincere eyes to make Professor Flitwick believe him.
But Professor Flitwick didn’t seem to receive his signal.
“It’s true, Professor.” Milton spoke at this time, “Scott and I were there that day. Dupin might have been angry and said that in front of us.”
“So that’s the case.”
Professor Flitwick immediately chose to believe it. He nodded to Milton and looked at Roger again.
“Davis, go on.”
Faced with Professor Flitwick’s differential treatment, Roger felt a little sad, but still talked about the follow-up, “Later I told Lisa that if she just wanted to experience the feeling of love, I could take two weeks to play house games with her.”
He looked up at Professor Flitwick again, “She agreed at the time! She also promised not to bother me again after two weeks.”
Professor Flitwick heard this and looked at Scott and Milton. After seeing both of them nod, he said to Roger: “So, why did Miss Dupin use magic items to curse your flying broom?”
“I don’t know.” Roger was also confused at this time. “Anyway, two weeks after the agreement, I told Lisa that the game was over, and she didn’t object at the time.”
Professor Flitwick asked with a headache: “Seriously speaking, the child’s behavior has constituted a crime. How do you want to deal with this matter?”
“This…”
Roger hesitated, and he seemed to not know what to say for a moment.
Scott knew that this was Roger’s first fall.
The girls who really fell in love with Roger in the past did not do anything out of the ordinary after he dumped them. Unexpectedly, just playing house with the little girl would lead to such consequences.
“There should be something hidden in this matter, professor.” Scott expressed his thoughts.
“Why do you say that?” Professor Flitwick asked.
“The dormitory door, professor,” Scott said, “was locked when we left the dormitory at noon.”
“I thought Miss Dupin had used an Unlocking Charm on your dormitory door,” Professor Flitwick said, “The magic used in this kind of small spell is relatively weak, and the remaining magic has dissipated.”
“No, this door was not opened by the Unlocking Charm.”
Scott stood up from the bed, walked to the door, and motioned them to come and see the black lock on the door.
“This lock has signs of being pried open, and it was pried open by Muggle methods.”
“Let me see!”
Eddie hurried over.
“Here!” He pointed his finger at the keyhole of the lock. “There are a few slight scratches here. They must have been left when someone used wire to pick the lock.”
“What does this mean?” Bruce looked at the place where Eddie pointed, still confused, “Maybe it was Dupin who picked the lock.”
Roger shook his head to deny his words, “Impossible, Lisa grew up in a wizard family, she can’t have this little trick of a Muggle thief.”
Professor Flitwick asked Scott: “So you mean, there is another student who helped Miss Dupin?”
“Yes, professor.” Scott said, “and the source of the dark magic items in Dupin’s hands is also suspicious. I don’t think her parents would let an underage witch touch such things.”
He added, “Of course, it is also possible that she stole it from home.”
“I will ask Miss Dupin about this matter.” Professor Flitwick nodded.
“Let’s go.” He walked out of the dormitory first, “I think this matter needs to be clarified as soon as possible, and give an explanation to the students.”
Scott and others followed behind him.
When they arrived at the stairs leading to the common room, the students gathered in the common room immediately looked up, with curiosity flashing in their eyes.
And Scott and the others immediately found Lisa Dupin standing in the crowd.
This was a little girl with a somewhat ordinary appearance. The only bright thing was her blonde hair. But her hair was not so smooth, making her head look fluffy.
She seemed to have noticed that Scott and the others were looking at her. In an instant, her face turned pale.
Scott retracted his gaze, but found that Professor Flitwick was a little hesitant.
Scott thought about it and understood why he was hesitant. He probably didn’t want to ask the little girl in front of so many people. He was afraid that the child who had made a mistake would lose the opportunity to correct himself in the future.
“Professor.”
At this time, Roger suddenly said to Professor Flitwick, “Maybe we should go to your office to discuss this matter.”
“Miss Dupin should thank you, Roger.” Professor Flitwick said emotionally, “To be honest, I don’t want to see any student ruin his future.”
Roger was indeed soft-hearted. He forced a smile, “It’s nothing, Lisa is just too young.”
Scott stood by and did not make any comments on Roger and Professor Flitwick’s decision. After all, Roger was the victim.
And…
Du Ping was nothing. Scott guessed that the little girl was probably just being instigated and used.
Scott looked at Jacob in the corner of the lounge again.
[You can’t run away. ]
Scott mouthed to Jacob silently.
Their eyes met.
Jacob’s eyes did not dodge this time.
Sorry, there was a loophole in the narration of the previous chapter, which has been revised.
