Chapter 148: Three investigations

Chapter 148: Three investigations

"Disgraceful traitor!"

George said through gritted teeth, and Fred's face was gloomy as he said

"If he wanted to do this for so long, then why does he still have the face to show us that head boy badge of his at home!"

Ron clenched his fists, he didn't lower his voice, half of the common room could hear what he said.

"And he also said let's wait and see! This is what he wants me to see him do? A shameless betrayer, a hypocritical villain!"

For her part, Ginny, who is only 11 years old, sat with a sad face beside her brothers and did not speak.

Everyone else in the common room tried to comfort them for a few moments, and no one was going to pin Percy's actions on the rest of the Weasley children.

The students on the wagon were not all that hostile to take these things out on others, not to mention whether it was Fred, George, Ron or Ginny, they all got along well with their fellow classmates.

"He didn't do anything bad to us, too." Neville struggled to find the words to comfort him, "He left quietly, probably just felt he is different from us."

"Different from us?" Ron sneered, "He's just doing it for his ambition to be superior! He's always thought he is different from all of us, complaining that mom and dad took our family to live in nowhere, saying that we at least had Burrow before! So he chose to become a lackey of the Ministry of Magic? To be a noble pureblood who manifests his status by oppression and slavery?"

The crowd around fell silent, no one could refute Ron's words, he was indeed right.

Even if Percy had just left the wagon without doing anything adverse to anyone on the wagon, his choice today would be enough to make everyone in this school resent him.

He stood on the side of the Ministry of Magic, and even joined the Ministry of Magic that enslaved and abused the Muggle wizards, what kind of status he had for the Muggle-born students who had been his classmates on the wagon in his heart before?

This made Ron and the rest of the Weasley children feel ashamed, and even if no one on this wagon was complaining to them, they would not be able to hold their heads high about it.

Jon felt some surprise and also not surprised after knowing Percy's whereabouts in the end.

On two occasions before the start of the school year, the wagon found a suitable spot to stop, allowing all the students to leave the wagon for a while, with the professors checking every room, but without any luck.

It was as if that person had become a ghost as if no one would ever be able to find that person if he/she did not want others to see him/her.

And after Percy left the wagon, and even after two successive fruitless searches, no other accidents happened again.

As if that person's purpose had been achieved, Percy's betrayal was what he ultimately wanted to do, after which he completely disappeared from the wagon.

But the professors didn't just relax, they scheduled a time to conduct a third search on the wagon on the night of September 1, the day of the orientation dinner for new students.

They must ensure the safety of this school, because the students living here, is all their future hope, if they have an accident, then the person who becomes unattached is definitely not only Dumbledore, there will be many people in the Order of the Phoenix will become a complete desperado.

The professors did not hide this matter, the students were also briefed about the dangers on the wagon, everyone was asked not to move alone, even to the lavatory to prevent accidents occurring with a minimum of two people going together.

It was in this way that the whole wagon was in a state of alarm, and this year's orientation dinner began in a field with a great view, which was specially chosen by Hagrid.

Early in the morning students left the wagon, to prepare food on the meadow, and in addition to McGonagall who stayed to watch over them, other professors, including Dumbledore, were all in the wagon for the third round of inspection.
