Wei De, who had remained silent the entire time, nodded: "I understand. I will contact the professor at the school first and ask about the situation."

"please."

Ferdinand thanked his son very seriously, and then couldn't help but remind him:

"Caryl's disappearance is not our family's business, but the business of Hogwarts and the British Ministry of Magic. You are only responsible for contact and communication, and leave the rest to the adults. Don't go and pretend to be a hero."

Vader couldn't help but smile, "I know... I'm not a Gryffindor."

……

Ten minutes later, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, who had received the message, appeared outside Wade's house.

Dumbledore wore a wizard-style pointed hat with patterns symbolizing wind and water. Although it looked mysterious, it could not change the fact that his outfit looked like a nightgown.

Fiona couldn't help but look at the sky... She didn't understand, but still showed respect.

Maybe all powerful wizards are like this?

Fiona thought admiringly.

Although it was the first time for Mr. and Mrs. Grey to meet Dumbledore, the moment they saw him in person, they immediately connected this person with the headmaster Dumbledore mentioned by Wade.

It can be said that no one fits people's traditional impression of wizards better than the man in front of them.

As for Professor McGonagall, she looked much more normal. Her dark green robe did not look out of place even in the Muggle world. There were traces of ink on her fingers, as if she was writing something before she came.

Professor McGonagall held a roll of parchment in her hand, the yellowed pages slightly curled.

Seeing the two people through the window, Wade opened the door before they knocked.

"Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Grey, Mrs. Grey, and Wade." Dumbledore said slowly, "I hope we haven't disturbed your lunch."

The principal always seemed confident, and his expression helped to calm the anxiety of Mr. and Mrs. Gray.

“I checked the admission list.”

Professor McGonagall said seriously:

"In September 1991, a student named Caryl Johnson was supposed to be admitted. However, because he wrote a letter saying that he wanted to go to Ilvermorny, the school did not contact him further. These are all recorded in detail."

"You haven't contacted Ilvermorny?" Fiona asked. When Professor McGonagall looked over, she added hastily, "I'm sorry, I don't mean to accuse you..."

"This was indeed our negligence..."

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and said:

"But Hogwarts doesn't force all students to enroll. Many young wizards choose to study magic at home or with tutors, or go to other magic schools, and Hogwarts won't stop them."

"It's a pity Langdon didn't know about this."

Ferdinand whispered:

"He thought Hogwarts would take his son away by force, so he fled England in a hurry, but ended up walking into the tiger's mouth..."

"Where is that Mr. Johnson?"

Professor McGonagall said seriously, "We need to know more details."

"He had a traffic accident," Ferdinand said. "I think he told me everything he could remember..."

"Magic may help us discover details which he himself may have forgotten," said Dumbledore politely.

Ferdinand's face changed.

He immediately thought of the Imperius Curse, but didn't say it out loud.

Dumbledore seemed to know what he was thinking and said gently, "Of course, don't worry...no harm will come to him personally."

Ferdinand looked at Wade and wanted to ask - Can your principal read minds?

Wade blinked, turned to look at Professor McGonagall and asked:

"Professor, besides Khalil, are there other students who didn't go to school for similar reasons?"

Professor McGonagall looked unhappy. She said, "Every year."

As the Greys turned pale, Dumbledore said:

"Of course, not every child who refuses to go to school disappears like Mr. Johnson. The master-apprentice inheritance is still a common teaching method in the wizarding world."

But this did not comfort Ferdinand and Fiona much, because it was obvious that the man could take Khalil away so easily, proving that this was definitely not the first time they had done this.

It’s just that those children who disappeared in the past, perhaps their parents believed the lies made up by the liars, or perhaps they had no way to contact the magical world, or more likely they all died or forgot their children, so they did not attract people’s attention.

Afterwards, Ferdinand drove the two professors to meet Landon Johnson, who was still detained by the traffic police.

With Langdon's willingness, Professor Dumbledore extracted part of his memory to prove that Langdon was not lying. He also clearly saw the appearance of Major Baird in his memory.

But this actually doesn’t have much reference value.

Because his name may be fake, his identity may be fake, and his appearance may also be fake.

Even his gender and age may not be what he appears to be.

But if Baird, like many proud wizards, did not take Muggles seriously, then he might not have gone to such great lengths to conceal his true appearance.

Next, Dumbledore contacted the Ministry of Magic and planned to meet Mrs. Johnson from the nursing home.

"Lost memories are difficult to recover, and we cannot torture her in a cruel way to make her regain her memory fragments."

Dumbledore said: "But magic will express itself. Especially for those wizards who have not been taught by the academy, each of them has different magic."

However, the adults did not let Wade participate in the subsequent processes.

He only heard part of it from his father. Wade had no idea how Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic would investigate next or whether they had any clues.

As a student, the most important thing for him is still going to school.

The short Christmas holiday is over quickly and students are returning to school. Making up homework and copying assignments have become a trend in recent days.

Wade thought it would take a long time to find out the follow-up of this matter, but unexpectedly, on the third day of school, he got a clue from the Weasley twins.

"…It is said that someone sold a magic necklace to a Muggle, and the woman in the nursing home was strangled to death by the necklace."

Fred said: "My dad rushed to deal with it and has been working overtime and hasn't returned home yet."

"……died?"

Wade was stunned for a long time, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind -

Anne Johnson lost her memory and was then killed... Why is Langdon still alive and kicking and seeking help everywhere?

Chapter 213 They Didn’t Survive to the End

[Wade: Landon Johnson might have a problem, Dad, don't have any contact with him anymore! ]

Wade quickly wrote this sentence on the friend's book, and then immediately contacted Lupin and asked him to protect his parents.

A few seconds later, a reply message appeared in the friend account.

[Ferdinand: Why are you saying this suddenly... You also know about Anne's death? ]

【Lupin: Okay, I'll be right there. 】

[Ferdinand: Dumbledore checked Langdon's memory and found nothing wrong. They thought that Anne might have seen something she shouldn't have seen when she was asking for information, so she was targeted.]

【Lupin: I have arrived at the Grey's house, the door is locked, and no one is in the house. Mr. and Mrs. Grey are not at home?】

[Fiona: Honey, we are safe now, don't worry. But you, don't always focus on studying on your days off, it would be nice to fly on a broom with your classmates for a while! ]

[Lupin: There is a little dust on the door handle. They have been away from home for at least two days. And they left in a hurry. There is a cup of cold coffee on the table.]

[Ferdinand: Remember what I told you? Don't get involved in these dangerous things. Although babies in the magic world can also become saviors, if all troubles need to be solved by children like you, our world will really be over.]

[Lupin: Don't worry, they may not be in trouble. I will contact Sirius and Professor Dumbledore now.]

Messages from both sides appeared on the parchment one by one. After Wade finished reading one message, he didn't even have time to reply before he saw new words appear on the other parchment.

But there was a contradiction in their words, which made Wade suddenly feel cold all over.

He picked up the pen, hesitated for a moment, and wrote on the [Family] page:

【Are you all at home now? 】

Then, new news emerged:

【Ferdinand: No, we moved out.】

[Ferdinand: Just in case, Dumbledore found us a bodyguard, who is said to be a very powerful retired Auror.]

[Ferdinand: But he has a strange temper and is unwilling to leave his familiar environment, so we had to rent a house next to his for the time being.]

Wade let out a long sigh, and a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his back.

He first told Lupin about his parents' move so that he wouldn't be anxious and worried, and then asked:

[Vade: Who is that retired Auror? I asked Remus to help protect your safety. He went to our house, but he didn't see anyone. I was scared.]

He finally couldn't help but complain.

[Fiona: Sorry, Wade. I didn't tell you about the move because I didn't want you to worry at school. If there's nothing else, we'll definitely go back before summer vacation.]

Fiona drew a tongue-out expression, as if making a naughty face.

[Ferdinand: Don't blame your mother, this was my idea too.]

[Ferdinand: That Auror is called Alastor Moody. Although he has a bad temper, the scars all over his body are his medals. Now he is our neighbor. I believe that any dark wizard who appears on this street will not be hidden from his nose. ]

[Fiona: He is a bit suspicious. As soon as we met, he suspected that the puppets you gave were killers disguised as toys and asked us to throw them away.]

【Ved: ...Killer?】

[Fiona: Yes, it's outrageous, isn't it? We swore that we would not let Coco and the others enter his house, and he finally agreed to let us keep the little ones, and he also told Dumbledore that if we were killed by the puppets, it would not be considered his dereliction of duty.]

It can be seen that Fiona tried to express herself objectively, but she was still full of resentment.

Vader couldn't help but smile.

Of course he remembered Alastor Moody. Although he did not appear many times in the plot, he was recognized as the strongest Auror.

Even if he is old, retired, and considered to be delusional... people will only think that he is senile and confused, and will not think that he is a weak person who needs protection.
