The portraits of the former principals on the wall of Headmaster's Office didn't know what made Dippet angry at this time.
They looked at each other, and finally it was Headmaster Black, the most unpopular person, who asked this question.
"Dippet, the anger on your face is not like your style. What happened..."
After hearing the principal's question, Dippet also slowly told what happened.
When I heard that, Heir of Slytherin was almost plotted by an unknown person. This alone made many principals express their dissatisfaction.
Not to mention the little wizard who may become the heir, how important his existence is. Even if an ordinary little wizard is attacked by Imperius Curse on campus, this incident is completely a scandal...
Therefore, almost all principals agree that the matter should be investigated seriously and then dealt with.
Headmaster Black frowned slightly at first, and then asked Dippet.
"Are you suspecting that someone came to Hogwarts through Polyjuice Potion, or do you think that a professor has colluded with people outside to do something..."
But Dippet still shook his head.
"No, Polyjuice Potion needs to be taken regularly, and this Potions can hardly escape Horace's eyes and nose. That old guy has a dog nose. He has taught all the little wizards. If there is the smell of Polyjuice Potion, he will definitely notice it..."
"As for the faculty and staff, I'm not saying that, there are no such young faculty and staff in Hogwarts now. Even if they have been here for a long time, we can completely trust them..."
"What I suspect is that someone directly controlled the little wizard in the school through special means, and then used the little wizard to impose Imperius Curse..."
"You know, after Imperius Curse has been mastered to a certain extent, it can jump through the minds of the people it controls..."
"From Peeves's last contact with the suspicious existence, we can also see some problems..."
In order to investigate this matter, of course he needs to summon Peeves to investigate.
Even if Tom used his incomplete authority to forcibly expel Peeves, it was not injured after all, and it just fell into silence. The principal can also use his own authority to briefly wake up Peeves and then continue to remain silent...
Headmaster Dippet found the past experience from Peeves's mind, and then saw the appearance of the suspect.
It was a look he had never seen before. Obviously, he was disguising when he was bewitching.
However, Dippet still saw some clues from the clues.
That one should be a young wizard, at least not in fifth grade or above, because his figure still has the greenness of a young man.
If you use Prior Incantato, of course you can also see the magic that has been used before from the wand, but obviously, the mastermind behind it will not expose himself so simply.
The wand he used looked like a second-hand wand.
It seems that all the clues have been cut off. Even if he is the principal of Hogwarts, no relevant information can be found.
But after reading all the memories, Dippet was obviously not a fool, and he decisively discovered the clues.
Why is it Tom?
Could it be that he has a grudge against Tom, or was that guy a random selection?
He prefers the former.
But in the eyes of all the professors, Tom is a very good child. Who can have such resentment against him?
He once again thought of the Dream Tea Party of Horace. On it, Tom seemed to have lost the face of the little guy named Dawson. For Slytherin, this loss of face could completely lead to a life-or-death feud...
But the problem is, it is impossible for that little guy to control Imperius Curse to this extent. Let alone him, it is also difficult for his family to control Imperius Curse to this extent.
Unless you are a dark wizard who has specialized in studying Imperius Curse for many years, it is absolutely impossible for him to have such attainments.
So how does this control occur?
It is impossible for a black wizard to enter Hogwarts, there is no doubt about it, that is Hogsmeade...
But the little wizard in the second grade cannot leave the castle, and he will not be able to enter there until the third grade at the earliest...
The clue seems to have been broken again.
However, after this incident, he decided to set his sights on that little guy Dawson. He was always a breakthrough point.
Then after a period of observation, he discovered a new person.
Among Slytherin, the candidate for the next Prefect is fourth-year Cody Hill. He seems to have had many private contacts with Dawson.
After further research, he discovered a new problem. If he wanted to become the next Prefect, the person he needed to compete with was Malfoy.
Although that naughty little wizard looks like a vase, in fact, he is the best at playing both sides. Among Slytherin, his popularity is also far higher.
Another point is that Malfoy helped Tom in the past. In the eyes of many people, Tom seems to be a member of the Malfoy faction.
Thinking about it this way, if we can hit Tom, wouldn't it be a disguised blow to Malfoy.
I can also take the opportunity to defeat Malfoy and become the new Prefect...
Dawson can also solve the problem of lost face. From this point of view, this speculation seems reasonable.
The only thing is, where is the dark wizard who cast Imperius Curse?
And, how did he do it?
For this reason, he decided to let Dumbledore go to Hogsmeade to investigate.
Regarding this matter, after careful consideration, he still told Dumbledore. After all, as a candidate for the next principal, whether he can properly investigate this matter is also a test.
Faced with this incident, Dumbledore accepted it easily.
However, he still hesitated about that place.
Hog's Head is the best place to get information, but for some reasons, Dumbledore is really inconvenient to enter there.
So, he could only change places and go to surrounding shops to inquire about the news.
As a result, before he could find out anything about the dark wizard, he heard new news. Someone was asking about the empty house next to Hog's Head, and seemed to want to rent it and open a new shop.
As the vice principal of Hogwarts, he didn't know about this matter?
Moreover, it is said that during that time, many strange wizards appeared among Hog's Head. They may be the people Dumbledore is looking for...
However, without conclusive evidence, it was just suspicion, which could not be established. He had to investigate everything clearly.
After all, Tom is also involved here. Because of his prejudice against Grindelwald, he has always had some strange views on Tom.
No matter how much others tried to persuade him, he was still very wary of Tom.
This time Tom was attacked. When he first learned about it, he even doubted whether he was directing and acting...
But after hearing that Imperius Curse was involved, he gave up the idea himself.
Imperius Curse, it cannot be easily controlled by the little wizard...
After investigating around, he sighed and walked into Hog's Head.
As soon as I walked in, an unusually unkind voice came over, "Albus, are you declaring war on me when you walk in here?"
