The three of Scott followed Professor McGonagall to her office.
Not long after, the fireplace in the office burst into flames, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley walked out.
Scott could tell that the couple had been temporarily woken from their sleep. They didn’t even have time to change clothes. They just put on a robe over their pajamas and hurried over.
“Oh! Dear Professor McGonagall! My daughter!” Mrs. Weasley asked hurriedly, “Is Ginny okay? The house elf who woke us up couldn’t speak clearly!”
Professor McGonagall quickly reassured her, “She’s fine. She’s safe, Molly. She’s with Dumbledore now.”
“She’s okay! Arthur, she’s okay!”
Mrs. Weasley turned to her husband and Mr. Weasley nodded quickly.
Mrs. Weasley looked close to tears of joy.
She breathed a huge sigh of relief and patted her chest with her hand, “She is still so young and has just come to Hogwarts to study. I am really worried…”
While she was talking, she saw George and Fred sitting in the corner of the office.
“George! Fred!” She immediately widened her eyes and almost roared, “It’s still dark, why are you here? Have you two done anything good again?”
Scott saw the twin brothers beside him shrinking their necks at the same time.
“Sorry, Mrs. Weasley.”
Scott patted George on the shoulder and took the initiative to stand up.
Then he saw Mrs. Weasley change her face instantly and give him a friendly smile, “Oh! My dear, who are you?”
“My name is Scott Trollope, ma’am. Fourth year Ravenclaw.”
Scott introduced himself and then said: “I’m very sorry, this time George and Fred violated school rules by accepting my invitation.”
“Oh dear, you don’t have to excuse them.”
Mrs. Weasley smiled kindly at Scott and glared at the twins.
“No one knows these two troublemakers better than I do!” she said. “I guess they don’t have to accept anyone’s invitation in violation of school rules.”
“Mom! You can’t always look at us with the old eyes!” Fred looked extremely aggrieved.
“We did a great thing this time!” George said proudly, “We discovered Ginny’s abnormality, which is equivalent to saving Ginny!”
“Really? Did you discover her abnormality?” Mrs. Weasley hesitated.
“Yes, it’s us!”
The twins met her gaze and nodded with absolute certainty.
“Oh! George, Fred…”
Mrs. Weasley’s attitude softened immediately and she opened her arms to hug them.
At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Dumbledore walked in with Ginny.
“Ginny! My daughter!”
Mrs. Weasley immediately changed her goal, rushed over and hugged Ginny tightly, then held her in her arms and looked at her carefully.
This made the twins who were about to receive the hug stunned for several seconds before they came back to their senses.
“If this was at home, she would take off all Ginny’s clothes and check her carefully before she was relieved.” Fred said to George.
George shrugged his shoulders and smiled mischievously at Mr. Weasley.
Mr. Weasley winked at him and kept thanking Dumbledore.
“It is my responsibility as the headmaster to protect students. Fortunately, Miss Weasley is fine.” Dumbledore said to Mr. Weasley.
He looked at the others again, “You will stay here next to Minerva, while Filius, Severus, and I have to deal with a bigger problem together.”
Scott asked him: “Professor, are you going to the secret room to deal with that monster?”
“Yes, Scott.” Dumbledore nodded, “If you also want to participate…”
“Albus!” Professor McGonagall suddenly spoke seriously, interrupting Dumbledore.
“Oh, of course, that’s not something you can get involved in, Scott, it’s too dangerous,” Dumbledore continued.
“No, I have no intention of participating.” Scott said quickly.
He will not seek death.
He said hesitantly: “I want to say, about that monster… I know one more thing, and that may be a useful clue.”
“I trust your judgment, Scott, please speak.” Dumbledore said kindly.
“This concerns Harry Potter, Professor.”
When Scott mentioned the name Harry Potter, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the office.
“I overheard a discussion between Potter and two of his friends, and Potter said he had heard strange noises in the castle several times during the school year.”
Scott sold the “Savior” without hesitation, and he was ready to provide Dumbledore with the last piece of the puzzle here.
“Strange noises?” Dumbledore began to think.
“Yes, Professor.” Scott said, “I talked to them about it, and Potter heard a voice inside the wall several times shouting words like ‘kill’.”
“We talked again yesterday. The reason why they first discovered Mrs. Norris on Halloween was because they chased the sound and ran to the third floor.”
Scott made the point, “Only Harry Potter could hear that voice, not Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.”
“This is indeed a clue.”
Dumbledore nodded in approval and asked curiously: “Can you draw any conclusion on this matter? Scott.”
Scott didn’t know why Dumbledore asked him, but he still said the conclusion he told Potter and the others.
“I think Potter has a special talent for magical languages, just like Slytherin’s Parselmouth. Maybe he also has Rattongue or Spidertongue?”
“Interesting statement.” Dumbledore smiled and nodded, “Magic is so magical, anything can happen.”
He said to Professor McGonagall: “Minerva, please go and call Harry over. I may need his help.”
“No, students should not be allowed to participate in this kind of thing, Albus!” Professor McGonagall said disapprovingly.
Mrs. Weasley, who was holding Ginny, also raised her head and said to Dumbledore: “Yes, poor Harry, he is too young and should not follow you on adventures!”
Dumbledore just smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, Minerva, Molly, of course I can protect Harry.”
While they were talking, Scott walked back and sat down next to George and Fred.
“Hey, man,” George whispered to him, “Why didn’t you tell us about this!”
“You should have told us earlier.” Fred also said.
“I thought it was irrelevant.” Scott also lowered his voice and told them, “I thought it was some kind of small animal that ran from the sewer into the pipe in the wall, and Potter happened to understand the language of that animal. “
“I wonder what that monster is?” Fred was extremely curious.
George said longingly: “It would be great if we could watch the battle between Dumbledore and the monster with our own eyes.”
“Don’t even think about it,” Scott said.
