Chapter 54 Hogwarts: Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Chapter 54 Hogwarts: Impossible, absolutely impossible!
All four poachers were arrested and handed over by Hagrid to Dumbledore, the headmaster, who then personally handed them over to the Ministry of Magic.
But less than five days later, the Ministry of Magic arrived, bringing not a reward for Owen, but an arrest warrant. The Aurors took the young wizard away, but some stayed behind to begin an investigation.
"Professor Flitwick, according to the poachers, Mr. Owen Carrot used the Unforgivable Curse on them. As the Professor of Charms at Hogwarts, what are your thoughts on this?"
Professor Frederick replied with an air of pride, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Owen didn't need to use any Unforgivable Curse against those guys. All his dueling skills were taught to him by me. In a four-on-one situation, Owen would have a significant advantage!"
Isn't this... a bit too much confidence in the young wizard?
What does it mean to have an advantage when fighting four opponents?
But the investigator clearly didn't want to discuss Irving's dueling skills: "So, Mr. Irving, you know the Unforgivable Curse?"
Professor Flitwick shook his head: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Owen couldn't possibly have learned such an evil spell from anywhere. There must be some mistake. How can you believe a poacher?"
The old man's face darkened, and he immediately chased the person away!
"Professor McGonagall, according to someone's testimony, Mr. Irving used unforgivable methods during the arrest..."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Professor McGonagall slammed her hand on the table, startling the other woman, then looked at her with furrowed brows: "Who is making this false accusation?"
"Professor Snape, according to someone, Mr. Owen used something that was... well, don't look at me like that, it's true that someone gave that instruction."
Snape's eyes gleamed: "The Unforgivable Curse? Come, take a closer look. These are all new potions developed by Owen. Each one is far more potent than the Unforgivable Curse. Does he really think he needs to use such a wicked curse? If he really wanted to kill someone, he could just throw a potion at them and solve everything!"
"Um... okay..."
"Professor Sprout, according to someone's testimony, Mr. Owen used the Unforgivable Curse, you..."
The fat wizard jumped up immediately: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Do you know how talented Mr. Owen is with magical plants? Come, look, what is this?"
"Devil's Vine?"
"No! This is the first Devil Vines cultivated by Mr. Owen, one that is not afraid of sunlight and is close to magic. It's called Miloff. It can even dress and put shoes on Mr. Owen. Putting everything else aside, just based on this, Owen doesn't need to use those terrible magics to fight people. So this must be a false accusation!"
"Madame Pomfrey..."
"impossible!"
"Mrs. Pince..."
"How could that be! Little Owen has never even been to the restricted section, he..."
It seems that no effective proof can be obtained from the faculty and staff. As for Dumbledore... Dumbledore went to the Ministry of Magic with Owen to participate in the Ministry of Magic's public trial of Owen.
Therefore, the investigators turned their attention to the students at the school.
"What? Owen knows the Unforgivable Curse?" A Hufflepuff little witch shook her head repeatedly. "That's impossible! Mr. Owen is a very hardworking person, and he's also very capable. I wanted to go on a date with him, but Mr. Owen refused because he wanted to answer questions for many more people..."
"Mr. Owen, should we use the Unforgivable Curse to deal with the poachers?" Draco's words in the Slytherin common room silenced the surrounding area.
"Sir, do you seem to have some misunderstanding about Mr. Owen's abilities?" Draco retorted arrogantly. "Given Mr. Owen's skill, the fact that he could use a third spell on a poacher is already considered showing mercy. Why would he need to use the Unforgivable Curse? This slander is utterly low-level and laughable!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Hermione shook her head. "With Owen's abilities, he wouldn't need a Crucifixion Curse to deal with poaching dark wizards. You know, he only used the Exterminate Weapon to destroy half of the troll's body..."
"Mr. Owen is the most learned young wizard I have ever met. As you said, the story of him being surrounded by four dark wizards is impossible, because he can fly and couldn't possibly be surrounded. You must be mistaken..."
A fourth-year Ravenclaw student looked at the investigators earnestly and asked, "Why would you believe a poaching dark wizard but not Mr. Owen, the most famous and popular person in Hogwarts?"
Amid a chorus of "Impossible, absolutely impossible," the investigators hastily withdrew from Hogwarts, leaving only one sentence in their report upon returning to the Ministry of Magic.
Regarding the investigation into whether Owen Carrot used the Cruciatus Curse, Hogwarts' response was always the same: Impossible, absolutely impossible.
The officials conducting the public trial were visibly shocked upon receiving the report, but the trial had already begun. They stared at the young wizard sitting quietly there…
"Mr. Owen, do you have anything to say about the accusations that you used the Unforgivable Curse?"
Owen smiled slightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, before I speak, I request permission to examine both of your wands for the Flashback Charm. By the way, I have two wands. This one is for practicing spells and potions, and this one..."
He pulled a large wand from his pocket: "This is the wand that's perfect for me, please."
The Flashback Charm can detect any spell cast with a wand. Without further ado, someone immediately took his two wands and began the Flashback.
result……
All of these were normal spells, taught in Hogwarts' Charms class, and the number of times...
"I don't actually have much talent, but I'm willing to put in the effort and sweat for magic, so I practice quite a lot."
Seeing the somewhat embarrassed young wizard, the audience members who came to listen to the trial all developed a liking for him. A young wizard who knows how to work hard and loves magic can always evoke the maternal glow in people's hearts.
Dumbledore sat to one side, not saying a word in defense of the young wizard, because he knew that even if the Unforgivable Curse had been used, there would be no evidence to prove it.
This confidence did not come from Owen, but from his self-imposed friend who was preparing to move to Hogwarts.
Given Owen's talent, having studied under the first Dark Lord for half a year, if he could still be easily caught red-handed, then the Ministry of Magic wouldn't even need to arrest him; his old friend would immediately run over, pin the young wizard to his lap, and spank him.
For some reason, perhaps remembering the image of the young wizard being beaten, Dumbledore suddenly burst into laughter...
