Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Although Tom Cruise was a little scared by Snape's voice and expression, he still asked in confusion:

"Who is that?"

At this moment, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Only Douglas stood at the back with a strange look on his face.

Tom Cruise's reaction made him unsure whether the other party had touched the diary.

After all, if he can make three Legilimency masters unable to tell whether he is real or not, he must be the real one.

But the weakness of the other person's body is too similar to the result of having his life force taken away.

Especially the shoe print, unless the person who used the Polyjuice Potion was careful enough to take away Tom Cruise's shoes,

Otherwise, even if you use the Transfiguration Spell, the wear patterns on the soles of the shoes will not become exactly the same.

It’s not that Douglas looks down on wizards, but in their minds, the tracking methods are almost all primitive, and of course there are some magical methods.

Almost no one thinks about the little things.

After all, once someone is caught, there are too many magical means to convict him.

"Legitimate?"

Douglas had a flash of inspiration.

He remembered that he once borrowed Percy's pet Scabbers to practice Legilimency.

Every time I finish practicing Legilimency, I also practice the emptiness of everything...

He remembered something about Voldemort's student days.

During the summer vacation when he was sixteen, Voldemort killed his father's family and put the blame on his uncle. He used magic to modify his uncle's memory, making him believe that he had killed the Riddle family.

"Modifying memory..."

Douglas came up to Tom Cruise and said with a smile:

"Tom, could you lend me your wand?"

Tom Cruise didn't hesitate and handed over his wand generously.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he could tell that the professors were probably looking for someone named Tom like him.

The other professors were also puzzled by Douglas's actions.

After all, in their opinion, the other party has almost been cleared of suspicion.

And the real culprit has almost been identified as the Ravenclaws outside.

However, no one interrupted Douglas's behavior, and they stood aside and watched quietly.

After all, for the whole incident, Douglas was the first to know about it and understood the most.

It's normal even if he has clues that others don't know.

Douglas picked up Tom Cruise's wand and whispered, "Flashback spell!"

This is a flashback spell that plays back all the spells the wand has ever cast.

When Douglas finished the spell, an image of a luminous spell popped up in his wand.

Douglas didn't give up and continued to operate.

After releasing five glowing spells in succession.

Douglas continues...

To outsiders, he looked like a frustrated gambler.

But Douglas felt the excitement of a hunter who finally found the trace of his prey and determined where the prey was going.

What fourth grader would practice so many glow spells for no reason...

Just when Professor McGonagall was about to stop Douglas.

But he was stopped by Dumbledore.

Dumbledore and Snape both looked at Douglas's actions with serious expressions.

At this time, Tom Cruise also said doubtfully:

"I don't remember casting so many glow spells before..."

Just as Douglas cast the seventh spell, a memory-modifying spell finally appeared in the wand...

Douglas glanced at everyone with pride.

Although everyone's faces looked ugly, they still didn't think that Voldemort had modified Tom Cruise's memory.

Professor Flitwick, in particular, first thought of Gilderoy Lockhart who was captured more than a month ago. He was a Ravenclaw and was good at memory magic. The Cruz in front of him had actually learned this kind of magic and even performed it.

Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore also thought of Lockhart.

Only Douglas was still sighing that the sixteen-year-old Voldemort was indeed meticulous.

He is indeed a person who could kill his father and destroy his family, frame others and not be discovered when he was a student.

You know, the students at Hogwarts have healds on their bodies...

When Douglas continued to cast the flashback spell, this time what appeared was a very unfamiliar black magic.

Everyone present looked unhappy.

Snape's expression was even uglier, and Douglas noticed that he subconsciously grabbed his left arm.

Especially Tom Cruise, he almost cried:

"No, I have never seen this dark magic, nor have I ever performed any memory charms.

I don't......"

Then Snape whispered something in Dumbledore's ear.

Dumbledore's expression suddenly became very serious.

Then he said to Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick:

“Minerva, Filius, please take Mr. Cruz to the school infirmary and take care of him personally.

By the way, you can also bring the children from outside to the auditorium first...

And...stay safe!"

Douglas heard Dumbledore's arrangement and quickly added:

"Don't let them take any books or anything else.

Better check it out, this is not the time to respect students' sovereignty."

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were stunned, but did not refute.

Professor Flitwick, in particular, nodded silently.

It's not easy.

Finally found the lurker.

Now we can finally search the dormitory openly.

After everyone else leaves.

Dumbledore and Snape looked at Douglas.

"Douglas, how do you know that the other party has cast a spell with Mr. Cruise's wand?"

Douglas shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly:

"There are no other clues, and the shoe print is a perfect match.

I think even if he used Polyjuice Potion, he wouldn't think of stealing his shoes to wear. If that were the case, then the other party would be too cautious.

So I personally think that they should use some means to control or unite Mr. Cruise..."

Snape shook his head and said in a hoarse voice:

"No, it's the mysterious man...

That black magic is unique to him..."

Well, this time it’s Douglas’ turn to be a little confused. Everyone is focusing on different things.

He thought that what he made everyone believe was the memory magic, but it turned out to be an unknown black magic.

"What kind of magic is that?"

But it was clear that Snape didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Dumbledore said:

“That’s a very clever magic that allows you to fly in the air without the help of anything.

This means that the other party had indeed escaped through the bathroom window before.

I just noticed that Mr. Cruise seemed to be abnormally weak, as if his vitality had been drained away.

Plus memory magic and that black magic.

It can almost be concluded that Voldemort has been lurking around Mr. Cruise in some way for a long time.

The approach seems to be more ingenious than last year.

But it looks like he's already left."

Douglas touched his chin:

"So, Mr. Cruise may have inadvertently become Voldemort's accomplice or been controlled by Voldemort for a long time through some means.

Until he discovered that the entrance to the secret room was under surveillance, so he quickly made a judgment, wiped out his traces, and left...

But Headmaster, based on your understanding of Voldemort, is he the kind of person who is afraid of being discovered?

He was about to leave, so why did he still care about the boy's life or death and spend time modifying his memory? "

Snape continued, his voice still a little hoarse:

“So, he must have sneaked in as some kind of magic prop.

He had anticipated that Mr. Cruise would be discovered, so he went to great lengths to modify his memory.

So that I can continue to hide..."

Douglas nodded:

“It hasn’t been too long since the alarm sounded.

Plus, he's been making so many small moves, he probably won't have the time or opportunity to hide outside Ravenclaw Tower..."

Dumbledore couldn't help but applaud, then winked and said:

"Excellent inference,

But I have already explored it after I came in.

There are no black magic props here.

Or, Douglas, do you have any important information that you haven't shared with us?"

Douglas was stunned...

Chapter 100 Douglas is a good comrade and should be trained as a priority

Looking at the expressions of Dumbledore and Snape.

Douglas took a deep breath and began his own reasonable reasoning again:

"Yes, I do have a suspicion, but it's just a suspicion, and I don't have any evidence.

Before school started, I accidentally got some information from Mr. Arthur Weasley and Harry.

Due to certain actions of the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Lucius Malfoy had to clear out some dark magic props from his home.

Harry happened to see it when he appeared in Knockturn Alley..."

Snape frowned and snorted disdainfully:
