Chapter 101: “Everything Ends”
A week had passed since the historic Valentines Day duel.
However, throughout Hogwarts Castle, very few people, whether teachers or students, were aware of the duel.
In most peoples memories, Valentines Day night was simply a night of stormy weatherwind, rain, thunder, and lightning.
They were forced to retreat to their common rooms and only discovered the truth the next morning when everything had already been revealed.
On February 15th, the Daily Prophet published a detailed report uncovering the truth behind everything.
The report included information about the recent attacks at Hogwarts and how Headmistress Vinda Rosier, amidst various doubts, had identified the true culprit behind the series of incidentsthe Vampire, Trocar.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Unfortunately, before the minister could lead the Aurors to Hogwarts, the cunning Vampire had managed to escape.
Minister Bagnold publicly apologized and assured the public that the Ministry of Magic would spare no effort in capturing the Vampire and throwing them into Azkaban.
Meanwhile, discussions about the matter were rife on the Hogwarts campus.
Its unbelievable! exclaimed Miss Gemma. Professor Trocar is a Vampire! I always had a good impression of him
I always suspected Trocar wasnt a good person! Marcus Flint, a sixth-year student, chimed in.
I still remember two weeks ago in Transfiguration class, I made a mistake, and he made me copy the entire Advanced Transfiguration Guide principle section ten times
The Wizarding world is too lenient towards Vampires! Theodore Knott, a first-year student, commented.
These creatures that endanger the lives of wizards should be caged and kept in captivity!
In short, opinions of all kinds were voiced.
When Professor Kettleburn arrived, he recognized some of the chickens and the remains of a litter of rabbits. They had been his pets He was quite devastated Hermione said with a sad tone.
Is that so? Matthew replied casually.
He had already suspected that the little chickens and rabbits Professor Kettleburn had lost had been killed by Professor Trocar. Tl
The murderer was none other than Professor Trocar himself.
It seemed that before the president, Professor Rosier, had a chance to arrange a source of blood for him, Trocar had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.
After all, Vampires required fresh blood three times a week to sustain themselves.
However, this minor issue had been resolved, and Professor Trocar no longer needed to venture into the Forbidden Forest every night to steal and extract blood.
Matthew, dont you find it strange? Hermione exclaimed. With so many small animal corpses, only Professor Kettleburn claimed a few. Where did the other animals come from? Since Trocar was always getting blood from Hogwarts
Then it can only mean he may have had other helpers at Hogwarts! Matthew interrupted.
Thats enough, Miss Granger! Matthew scolded, his tone harsh.
Hermione was taken aback by the way Matthew addressed her.
This is not something we should be concerned about! Matthew asserted firmly. Have you forgotten that your curiosity nearly led Neville into danger just a week ago? Havent you learned your lesson?
Hermione looked a little dissatisfied but ultimately lowered her head.
Im sorry I shouldnt have meddled in so many things Hermione said while looking down.
Its alright, Matthews anger subsided slightly, and he said, The perpetrator behind the series of attacks is no longer here. Its all over now. We should enjoy the peace and tranquility of life at Hogwarts.
Hmm! Neville and Hermione nodded in unison.
