Chapter 124 "Dolishi's" Alibi

"But how can I tell Ginny? She values ​​the diary more than anything else.

Harry said with some embarrassment: "To be honest, I feel bad that we hid Mr. Cyrus' affairs from her."

"But this is Mr. Cyrus's request. To be honest, although Ginny is my sister, I completely understand Mr. Cyrus. If there is a girl who keeps talking to me 24 hours a day, I will also collapse!" Ron said seriously, "and she still writes in the diary from time to time."

"You two don't understand girls' minds at all." Hermione shook her head in disgust, then stood up, "Let me go, I can tell her to use the diary to review."

After that, Hermione walked away.

Ron stretched his head to Harry's ear: "I bet she wants to talk to Mr. Cyrus herself."

"You should say less. "Harry nudged him with his elbow.

The atmosphere between Ron and Hermione had been giving him a headache recently. Crookshanks, the cat Hermione bought, kept staring at Ron's Scabbers, which made them quarrel non-stop.

Harry was often tortured by the two of them after coming back from hard training.

——

"Tonks, Dawlish, now we need you two to repeat the situation at that time."

Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office, arrived with Fudge shortly after Tonks woke up. As soon as he entered the ward, he immediately said with a sullen face: "It's mainly you, Tonks. I have read Dawlish's report once."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't be so anxious." Fudge came out and tucked his green hat under his armpit, "Dumbledore said he would be here soon. He wants to know some details. Let's wait until he arrives. "

Dumbledore is coming?

Although this was not unexpected for Cyrus, he still sat up straight.

Only by facing the old man can you know how terrible he is. Those eyes seem to be able to see through everything, seeing a person thoroughly from the inside out, even the most obscure secrets in the heart seem to be completely defenseless in front of him.

Especially since he spent a lot of time to subdue the dragon, when the Aurors arrived, he had no time to modify Tonks' memory.

After a while, Dumbledore walked in with brisk steps.

He was very tall, with a long beard that reached his waist. He looked very wise and kind. Every move he made seemed to contain great magical power.

As soon as he entered the room, his eyes swept over everyone present. His gaze hardly lingered, but Cyrus felt that he paused on him.

So much so that Cyrus even suspected that the other party had seen something and began to get nervous.

Of course, he remained calm on the surface, and didn't talk much like Dawlish himself.

Finally, Dumbledore's eyes stayed on Tonks on the bed.

"How do you feel, Tonks?" He walked to the side of the bed kindly. Cyrus stood up from the only two seats and gave him the seat, "Oh, thank you, Dawlish. I'm glad you care so much about a centenarian."

Dumbledore took the chair and sat down without any excuses.

"I'm fine, Professor Dumbledore. "Tonks shook his head and said.

"Just like the several Aurors who were knocked unconscious in the Ministry of Magic before, it's not a big injury, but it took some time for the hospital to break the curse." Moody first glanced at Scrimgeour, and then said to Dumbledore.

After all, Scrimgeour was his old colleague in the past, and now he is the head of the Auror Office, so there is some friendship.

As for Fudge?

I'm really unfamiliar with him!

After listening to this, Dumbledore nodded with a half smile.

He felt that Cyrus was different from Tom Riddle.

If it is said that in school, Cyrus could be said to be afraid of him and dare not kill people. After leaving Hogwarts, although the other party still acted eccentrically, he did not kill too many people, but only eliminated a group of dark wizards, which was very strange.

However, Dumbledore was still a little confused about why Cyrus appeared on the coastline of Scotland.

"Miss Tonks, can you tell me what you saw at that time? "

Tonks immediately glanced at Cyrus, then nodded stiffly. She was also a student who had just graduated two years ago, and Dumbledore's aura as the headmaster had not faded yet.

"Dawlish and I were originally stalking at the Hog's Head, and then Dawlish probably felt bored, so he went to the Three Broomsticks every day to flirt with the proprietress..." Tonks said resentfully.

Cyrus:???

When did I flirt with the proprietress of the Three Broomsticks.

Feeling that all five eyes in the ward were on him, especially Tonks's smug expression, he knew he had to defend himself.

"Haha, that's understandable, Ms. Rosmerta is indeed beautiful." Dumbledore said with a narrowed eye and a smile.

"Is this true, Dawlish? "Moody immediately asked in a bad tone.

He had already grasped the cane in one hand, as if he would immediately pick up the cane and cast a spell on Cyrus if Cyrus did not give him a satisfactory answer.

Scrimgeour was still restrained, but his expression was also solemn.

A genius of Metamorphmagus is a very rare treasure in the Auror team, otherwise there would be no need to specially ask Moody to train him.

"Of course not, from the beginning I guessed that the goblin and the dark wizard were very vigilant. I am not Tonks, and if I appear in the bar every day, it will arouse suspicion. You know, I am not good at Transfiguration." Cyrus said immediately.

"And I didn't leave, but followed Tonks all the time. I just hid, otherwise how could I save her?"

"You followed me?" Tonks was surprised.

"But why did I hear the bartender of the Hog's Head say that you didn't return to the bar until the evening?" Moody's scrutinizing eyes were like lasers.

At this time, Fudge also nodded and added fuel to the fire: "It was the bartender of the Hog's Head who notified the Ministry of Magic. He said that an Auror was missing, and the other Auror who was with her was late."

Dumbledore also became interested and looked at Cyrus with a smile, as if waiting for his explanation.

Cyrus was not panicked at all.

"That's the problem. I didn't go anywhere that afternoon. I was hiding the whole time. You can ask any shopkeeper in Hogsmeade for evidence of this."

Cyrus did not go to any store that afternoon. Instead, he went to the Shrieking Shack, which became his alibi.

"Later, I found that Tonks followed the dark wizard alone, so I followed him in secret. As for the 'me' in the evening - I think this explains why Tom Riddle appeared on the coast of Scotland."

"You mean, the 'you' who appeared in the Hog's Head in the evening was actually Tom Riddle in disguise?" Dumbledore confirmed gently.

"I'm afraid that's the case."

I originally planned to update three times on the weekend, but the company forced me to have a team building on the weekend. Damn it!
