Chapter 482 "You're The Culprit"

The bright moon hangs in the middle of the night, two huge shadows pass by above the clouds, and there is a small figure on top of the slightly larger shadow. The barbs on the edge of the wings of the dragons through the clouds, and the strong wind blew up the clouds, turning into damp and cold air and blowing on Sean's face.

He patted the dragon under him, signaling it to slow down a little, or the wind would blow him away. The dragon immediately slowed down its flapping wings. Although the night sky was wet and cold, Sean was in a happy mood at the moment.

Riding a dragon to fly in the night sky is completely different from using a spell or transforming into a dragon to fly. When he got excited, Sean opened his hands, let the night wind from high above wet his face, and shouted happily.

The two dragons also let out a roar.

"Boss, did you see that huge shadow just now?!"

"Don't make a fuss. In our line of work, it's normal to encounter some strange shadows. I have also encountered something similar to UFO. A shadow may just be a reflection of the clouds, and the radar did not issue an alarm, so don't panic."

The captain was teaching his new deputy in the cockpit. After the passenger plane crossed the sky, two dragons leaned out from the thick clouds.

"Whoa, it's dangerous." Sean wiped his face. 

He was just now having fun with the two dragons, but he didn't notice a passenger plane passing through the clouds and almost ran into it.

"It's almost time to play. Let's go back, Leo." Sean patted the black dragon of the Hebrides under him.

He gave the two dragons names, the male one Leo and the female one Leona. The two embraced their new names. Leo circled around and flew towards Hogwarts.

----

"What happened?" At night, several torches were lit in the hall of the castle, and Professor McGonagall looked at the few people in front of her in surprise.

Filch stood aside with his lantern and said sharply, "They're back in need of something."

In front of them was the MacFusty clan. 

The leading wizard, Pablo, sighed, "I'm sorry to disturb your school again, but we are in big trouble."

"Didn't you go back with the dragon?"

A trace of hostility and anger appeared on Pablo's face. "On the way back, we happened to encounter a wild Hungarian Horntail. During the fight, the Hungarian Horntail destroyed the dragon's cage, and the two dragons broke free from our control. We fought, but we could barely keep up, and in desperation, we had to come back to Hogwarts for help."

The young man behind Pablo was confused. The dragons didn't break free because of the Hungarian Horntail but because of them setting it free. Before coming, Pablo had told everyone to make the same statement.

After listening to his words, Professor McGonagall's eyes widened, and she murmured, "Well, that's a problem."

Three uncontrolled dragons are hovering over the Scottish Highlands, and that's a big trouble. Whether it's the damage a dragon might create or the risk of being witnessed by Muggles, it's something wizards need to take seriously.

"What an unfortunate incident. The Ministry of Magic must be notified, or there will be serious consequences. My God, I hope the three dragons can be found as soon as possible." Professor McGonagall asked Filch to notify the others and led the members of the clan toward the infirmary, "I think it would be best for you all to go to the infirmary first."

"I couldn't be more grateful." Pablo nodded slightly.

At the door of the infirmary, Professor McGonagall walked and led a group of people in. Someone touched Pablo's sleeve and nodded toward a hospital bed.

When he heard the words, he saw that the Wallup kid who wanted to buy a dragon was lying on the hospital bed and asleep.

He frowned. At this time, in an open space in the Forbidden Forest.

"Hold on, come on, push it! Get in, get in!"

"Pudding, you have two more hands than me."

Pudding pushed the dragons aside, let out a growl of dissatisfaction, and pushed harder. Sean returned to Hogwarts a long time ago but encountered a little trouble. When he was about to get Leo and Leona to get into the ring, he encountered an unexpected problem.

The entrance of his ring is not big enough.

Sean cast the Extension Charm many times on the ring he got from Newt. After he got it, he paid a lot of money to ask someone to expand it again. Since it was an illegal spell that was not registered with the Ministry of Magic, he wanted thousands of Galleons paid for this service.

But you get what you pay for, and Sean's ring now has a lot more room than Newt's suitcase. Even the airwing bird has even gotten lost a few times.

Of course, Sean has also expanded the entrance of the ring. Now, it can be used by much larger creatures such as the Loch Ness Monster and the Basilisk. However, the dragon was different.

As a fairly slender female dragon, Leona barely squeezed in, but Leo was too big. Sean used a spell and pushed for a long time with Pudding, and only the back half of the body and tail were left outside.

"Pudding, push harder!"

Inside the ring. With two dragon claws on the ground, Leo and the creature inside the ring looked at each other. The Basilisk, the Loch Ness Monster, and others were staring at him.

Leo covered his ferocious face with his paws in shame. The airwing bird made a mocking sound. The Basilisk threw away the airwing bird.

"Come on, use your strength!"

After a while, there was a loud noise from inside the ring. Sean poked his head in, and the animals were all mushed by Leo, who suddenly went in.

"Good to see you guys are there." Sean nodded in satisfaction.

Leo shook his head and got up, looking up at Sean.

"Yes, these guys will be friends from now on. Remember to get along well. The northeast side is the lair I left for you and Leona. It's a bit of a mess, and I'll tidy it up for you later."

After hearing his answer, Sean smiled and waved.

"Get to know each other. I have to go back quickly. The MacFusty clan is probably in the Hogwarts infirmary. In case that man sees my illusion."

A lot of different roars came, shaking Sean's ears numb. He smiled and closed the ring.

"I'll have to teach them to talk less loudly next time."

Returning to the infirmary invisibly, Sean saw that the lights in Madam Pomfrey's office were lit.

"They came pretty fast, but it has nothing to do with me." He smiled and lay back on the hospital bed, and the illusion disappeared.

Sean rolled over in satisfaction and closed his eyes.

----

Early the next morning.

Sean was awakened by the sound of arguments outside the infirmary.

"Please watch your words." Professor McGonagall's voice sounded angry.

"It's a reasonable suspicion," Pablo said coldly.

"Sean had an accident last night. After drinking the potion, he has been sleeping in the infirmary. You saw it when you were here last night, right? Why do you suspect that he's faking it?"

Pablo seemed to be suppressing his anger, "I have reason to doubt him, Professor McGonagall. He is a dragon whisperer, and he wants those two dragons. He told me himself last night."

At this time, Ludo's voice sounded, and his voice was full of anger, "This is not within your authority. He did express his love for the dragons last night, but after you refused, he doesn't pursue it anymore. Besides, you are biased against Mr. Wallup just because he can communicate with dragons."

"Mr. Bagman, Our family and the Ministry of Magic have an in-depth cooperation, and as the honorary director of The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, I have the right to investigate suspects."

"Oh?" Ludo laughed mockingly. Do you mean to say that Mr. Wallup ordered a Hungarian Horntail to attack you? When he was seriously injured and needed to be in bed, he controlled a Hungarian Horntail dragon that no one had discovered before to attack your team. Isn't it ridiculous for you to say that?"

Pablo seemed certain that this incident had something to do with Sean. He said forcefully, "Because there are too many coincidences. One coincidence is a coincidence, and several coincidences happening in a row are not. He happened to be able to speak to dragons, happened to know our dragon, happened to want to buy our dragon, and happened to make an alibi in front of everyone's eyes. Didn't anyone give him an alibi when he was lying alone on the hospital bed?"

He lowered his face, "I have reason to doubt him."

Madam Pomfrey's voice also sounded, "Wallup has been cursed, and I gave him a potion. This potion will cause great drowsiness; he either endures the pain or endures the drowsiness while controlling dragons and attacking wizards. That's ludicrous."

"What if all this is a plan he directed and acted on his own?" Pablo said.

"You," Ludo and Professor McGonagall were furious, especially Ludo, who was actually saved by Sean last night. "How could you be so rude?"

Just as he was about to curse, the door of the infirmary was pushed open.

Sean's sleepy eyes can be seen. "It's too early. Don't you guys go to bed?"

"Wallup! Did you do it?!" Pablo's eyes widened when he saw Sean.

"Don't go too far!" Ludo yelled angrily and stood in front of Sean, "It's okay, kid, they won't dare to do anything to you."

Sean stretched his waist and said leisurely, "It's okay. I'm used to being confronted like this."

"Oh, you're cheeky now, eh?"

Just when the quarrel was about to become more intense, a voice sounded, "Do you need a referee?"

Grindelwald smiled and appeared in the corridor.

"Mr. Chairman, good morning." Everyone was greeted immediately.

"Yes, yes," Grindelwald said to the crowd. I understand the problem, but how about I become the referee?"

Ludo said respectfully, "Of course, we can trust you, Mr. Chairman."

Pablo rolled his eyes and agreed, "We can do that, but we will decide how to expose this kid."

Grindelwald spread his hands, "Whatever, as long as you don't violate the wizarding law. What about you, Sean?"

"I'm okay with it." Sean imitated his appearance and spread his hands.

"That's good—but..." Grindelwald narrowed his eyes and looked at the McFasty family, "What if Sean isn't the culprit you mentioned?"

Pablo was full of confidence, "No, it's him!"

"I said, what if he isn't?" Grindelwald's eyes suddenly became dangerous.

Pablo panicked, but he still bit the bullet and said, "I'll let you handle the result later."

"Very well, you can tell your way."

A few minutes later, Draco was brought to the scene. 

Grindelwald glanced blankly, "Veritaserum and Legilimency are illegal, Mr. MacFusty."

"We don't need those," Pablo turned his head and smiled coldly at Sean, "You deliberately forged your alibi. You're smart. Yes, you can't sneak out after being cursed, and you can get out smoothly and clear of suspicion. But what if you miss something?"

Pablo pointed to the wand at Draco's waist and said loudly, "Mr. Grindelwald, I asked to check this kid's wand with a Reverse Spell. Is that illegal?"

Grindelwald nodded, "It's not illegal. If there is no curse, then Sean is doing it on purpose. The suspicion is fulfilled. I will investigate it myself and give you a satisfactory answer. But if there isn't, your family must be prepared to pay some price."

"Of course." Pablo was full of confidence.

"Mr. Malfoy, please hand over your wand."

Under everyone's gaze, Draco clenched his wand tightly. His face turned slightly pale.
