The Missing Harry and Ron

Luna, taking the Quibbler, read aloud to everyone in her ethereal voice:

"About seven or eight years ago, Rita Skeeter began writing articles or reports with a defamatory nature. People have always been curious about where she gets her subversive information from."

After graduating from Hogwarts, Lockhart disappeared for several years, and around the same time, he embarked on a literary career, using his sharp pen to tell his heroic stories.

The two seem to have no connection, but is that really the case?

Surprising new evidence has recently emerged suggesting that Lockhart and Rita are actually the same person.

If you've read Lockhart's information, you'll notice that their resumes are strikingly similar.

They were both graduates of Ravenclaw House, had the same blond hair, were Half-blood wizards, and even bore a slight resemblance in appearance.

"People don't realize that Gilderoy Lockhart isn't a man!" said Madam Belby.

I've met him in person, but he doesn't like me.

Madam Belby was somewhat agitated as she spoke, and she even tapped her cane.

"Merlin, is there any man who could resist my charm? Fifty years ago, I was the most beautiful woman at Hogwarts. I suspect Lockhart is a woman!"

This is Madam Belby's own scathing rebuke.

"Lockhart and Rita's writing styles are strikingly similar; I don't believe it's a coincidence," as internationally renowned editor-in-chief Lovegood assured.

There is also a wealth of other evidence proving that the two were intricately connected.

In fact, I believe that Rita is a Metamorphmagus.

She impersonated Lockhart, gathering intelligence while writing books based on the stories she heard to deceive the public.

I think everyone should take action and write to the Misuse of Magic Office, reporting Rita as an illegal Magus, and that she is also suspected of transforming Lockhart...

To be honest, this episode of "The Quibbler" had a pretty good storyline; it's more interesting to read as a novel for those seeking out the unusual.

William almost remembered that he used to buy "Storytelling" magazine every week in his previous life.

Soon, Cedric and Cho started arguing again, and they only stopped arguing when the food cart came by.

It seems Cedric is genuinely unhappy with Lockhart.

Everyone started sampling various snacks and exchanging Chocolate Frog cards.

Cedric reverted to his sycophantic self, starting to help Qiu unpack snacks.

William felt such disgust that he wanted to kick him out of the window.

However, William didn't get the chance; Anne was trying to stuff a piece of Chocolate Frog into his mouth!

That's outrageous!

The two started fighting, and Hermione cheered William on, telling him to give Anne a good beating.

However, she quickly joined the fray, using both her hands and feet to hold William down and help Anne.

Luna stared intently at Bobocha with her gray eyes, making the latter feel a little uneasy.

At that moment, the door to the private room was pushed open.

The twins and Ginny walked in.

The three looked hurried, Ginny was on the verge of tears.

"It's not here either!" she said, her voice trembling with tears.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked, looking at Ginny with a puzzled expression.

William took the opportunity to get up and gently pushed Hermione off him.

William straightened his hair; it had just been stepped on.

"Harry... he's gone." Ginny, her eyes filled with tears.

Fred grabbed a bottle of drink from the snacks and gulped it down.

George sat directly on Cedric's lap, panting and shaking.

He was exhausted after inspecting so many carriages at once.

Wait, Cedric put his wand in his pants?

Or is it some kind of special Dark Magic item?

"How could Harry be missing?" William asked in surprise.

"Getting lost on a train?" This was the first time Anne had ever met someone so directionally challenged.

"He wasn't lost," Ginny explained. "I was the third to last one to go through the wall and onto the platform. Harry was right behind me; he couldn't possibly be lost."

"You didn't even notice that one person was missing?" Cedric asked, puzzled.

Ginny blushed and said, "We arrived rather late today. When we got to the station, the train was about to leave in five minutes."

Everyone rushed onto the train without even saying goodbye. Once on board, I realized Harry wasn't there.

"They might have gone to other carriages. Have you searched all of them?" Qiu asked.

"Not yet, just a few of us are looking, and we've only searched a little over half of the carriage..." Ginny suddenly stopped.

She stared wide-eyed, puzzled. "Where's Ron?"

Fred: "..."

George: "..."

The twins coughed, somewhat speechless.

Ron may lack presence, but he's still Ginny; we can't just ignore him like that, can we?

That's incredibly insulting!

"Then let's all go look for it together?" Luna suggested excitedly, no longer staring at the Bobocha.

She loves this kind of hide-and-seek game the most.

"That would take forever to find," William shook his head.

"William, do you have any good ideas?" Hermione asked.

"Wizards, of course, use magic," William said matter-of-factly.

He looked at Fred and asked, "Did you bring the Niffler?"

"Of course, I always carry this little guy with me." Fred quickly pulled a large object out of his robe.

Niffler and squeaked, seemingly a little shy being stared at by so many people.

"Let's go to the car door."

William stood up and led everyone through the corridor to the car door.

They walked in the corridor in a group, quickly attracting the attention of many students.

A group of people followed, thinking that Akali's Mystery Shop had released some new products again.

William ignored the onlookers and pointed his wand at the ground.

"Appare Vestigium."

This is the train entrance. If Harry and Ron were on the train, there would definitely be traces of them.

There's no need to search each carriage individually; that would be too time-consuming.

A wisp of golden smoke billowed from the wand, illuminating traces of recent magical activity on the train.

"Niffler, Accio." William waved his wand again, and the Niffler in Fred's hand flew over.

"Find it, and hurry up and find it," William ordered.

Niffler sniffed and kept searching for tracks on the ground, like a police dog.

Soon, Neville's golden form appeared; he was anxiously searching for Trevor.

But the toad was perched on his shoulder.

Then, Malfoy appeared, and behind him, a girl named Pansy was hiding.

Pansy grabbed a stick from somewhere and slammed it hard on Malfoy's head, then dragged him toward a carriage.

William was no longer interested in finding Harry and Ron; instead, he wanted to go to that carriage and check it out.

A well-trained adult Niffler can easily find clues, but Fred's was never trained and was clearly not very capable.

It searched for several minutes, circling around the few glittering footprints, before finally shaking its head, confirming that there was no trace of Harry and Ron.

The two of them didn't even get on the bus.

etc...

A car came into William's view.

It's right there in the window, flying through the clouds in the distance!
