Ravenclaw Bronze Ring

Before the dinner ended, the twin brothers sneaked up to the Ravenclaw table.

The two of them had huge panda eyes and kept yawning, clearly looking tired and having stayed up late.

In their quest to find the killer, the twin brothers spent the entire Christmas night staying up all night, staring at the Marauder's Map and monitoring Snape's medicine pantry.

It's impossible not to be moved by their serious attitude... Sure enough, their unreliable demeanor was all an act; when it really matters, the twin brothers are more reliable than anyone else!

Without saying anything more, William prepared to brew some "Draught of Living Death" for the two of them so they could get a good night's sleep.

The Draught of Living Death" is the best sleeping pill, more effective than any melatonin. Of course, this is William's first time trying it, so it's a good opportunity to practice.

George took a notebook out of his robe and handed it to William.

"So many suspects?" William exclaimed in surprise. "They're even using notebooks to take notes, that's incredibly professional..."

He froze before he could finish speaking.

The first page of the notebook reads: Super Mario Walkthrough!

So, the twin brothers weren't monitoring us at all, but instead went to Hogsmeade to play a game?

Fred asked with a headache, "William, how did you get past level seven?"

"Yeah, Fred and I tried several times but couldn't get over there."

The twin brothers spent their childhood playing with Gnome and riding flying broomsticks; they had never played such fun video games Muggle.

In just one Christmas holiday, they've become addicted to video games, even sneaking off to Muggle houses to recharge!

"It's not that we didn't keep watch, it's that nobody went to Snape's medicine pantry," George said.

"Including us, there aren't many students in this school. They're all happily staying in their own college's common room," Fred yawned.

George continued, "We initially suspected Professor Tywin, but he left the school on his first day."

A few days later, Professor Snape returned, treating us like murderers and constantly finding excuses to make things difficult for us. Of course, we had to hide in Hogsmeade.

As he spoke, George handed William a large pile of snacks he had bought from Hogsmeade.

William picked up a small bag of Pepper Imps and said, "Never mind, we're bored anyway, let's just ignore it."

"We still need to keep an eye on them," Fred said seriously. "Next time they cause trouble, we can follow up and help them."

"..."

After the dinner, William and Cho followed the rest of the Ravenclaw to the Ravenclaw Tower along their usual route.

Everyone was making a lot of noise and seemed to be having a great time.

But when they reached the wooden door, they found the corridor crowded with people.

"Why isn't anyone going in?" Marietta asked curiously.

William looked past the crowd and saw that the wooden door appeared to be closed.

"Please let me through," Prefect Robert's voice rang out as he quickly stepped out from the crowd.

"Why are you blocking the way? Answer the question quickly, I'm waiting to hear the door knocker—"

The crowd quieted down, starting from the very front, so it was like a chill spreading through the corridor.

In the silence, a deafening, heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out, so poignant that it inexplicably sent a chill down William.

The crowd dispersed, revealing Robert slumped against the wooden door, his back pressed tightly against the wall, his toes digging into the ground as he tried to stand up, but he only managed to get halfway up before collapsing back down.

Next to Robert, there was a hole about the thickness of an arm.

--Eagle -Eagle-shaped bronze knocker

It's lost!

"Oh my God—" Marietta exclaimed, grabbing William's arm tightly.

William felt a sharp pain again. During the holiday, Marietta's arm strength had increased. It was a real shame she wasn't Beater.

"Go and fetch Professor Dumbledore, quick!" someone shouted.

After a while, Professor Dumbledore arrived and hurried toward the wooden door; the Ravenclaw House students crowded together to let him through.

Dumbledore glanced quickly at the damaged wooden door, then took out his wand and tapped the door.

A row of red letters slowly appeared, turning into a sentence: Ravenclaw Bronze Ring, I've taken it!

"Professor Flitwick, please go to Filch immediately and tell him to seal off the entire castle," Dumbledore said sternly.

"That person has already escaped!" a hoarse voice suddenly said.

Peeves hopped around on the heads of the crowd, looking quite pleased with the sight of destruction and sorrow, as he always had.

"What do you mean by this, Peeves?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

Peeves ' smile faded slightly, and he avoided looking directly into Dumbledore's sharp blue eyes.

He switched to a smooth tone, which sounded better than his hoarse voice.

"Excuse me, Principal, just over ten minutes ago, I saw a figure rushing past from this side."

He caught sight of me, smiled at me, and even spoke to me.

Peeves was overjoyed.

"Oh, what did he say?" Dumbledore asked quietly.

"Let me think... Oh, I remember now!" Peeves grinned, glancing maliciously at all the little wizards before lowering his voice again.

The man laughed loudly and said, "I am Death Eaters, and I will use Ravenclaw's Ring to resurrect the Dark Lord."

Screams erupted from the crowd, and the young wizards began to scramble together.

"Quiet!"

Dumbledore's voice seemed to possess a magical power, and the noise gradually faded away.

Dumbledore glanced at the text, a flash of anger in his eyes, but he calmly asked, "Peeves, did you get a good look at what that person looked like?"

"Yes, I saw it clearly." Peeves glanced fearfully at Dumbledore. "I saw it clearly, he looks exactly like Professor Snape!"

Suddenly, Peeves did a somersault in the air and flew rapidly into the sky.

The surroundings were deathly silent.

That's impossible! Professor Snape has been sitting in the High Table's seat tonight, and hasn't left his seat an inch!

Not only him, but all the professors William knew were sitting in the High Table, without leaving for a moment.

Professor Dumbledore thought for a moment, then called all the Ravenclaw House students back to the Great Hall.

Ten minutes later, students from Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Slytherin, and other houses arrived, all looking completely bewildered.

"The faculty and I will conduct a thorough search of the castle," Professor Dumbledore said solemnly.

You may all sleep in the Great Hall tonight.

At that moment, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick closed all the doors of the Great Hall.

"For your own safety, I think you may have to spend the night here."

I require the Prefect to stand guard at the entrance to the Great Hall, and the male and female student council presidents to remain in the Great Hall to manage the situation. Report any incidents to me immediately.

Professor Dumbledore paused, about to leave the Great Hall, then added, "Oh, by the way, you'll need..."

With a casual wave of his wand, the long tables flew to the edge of the Great Hall; with another wave, the floor was covered with hundreds of purple sleeping bags.

"Sleep well," said Professor Dumbledore, closing the door behind him as he left.
