"No matter the situation, it means Gemma Farley is in danger, and we must act quickly."
Dumbledore looked at Carl, "I remember Fire Treasure can distinguish Dark Wizards?"
"Yiya!"
The adorable Fire Treasure appeared above Carl's head, cheerfully greeting Dumbledore.
"That's right, the souls of Dark Wizards are tainted with death, darkness, evil, and violence, which make Fire Treasure uncomfortable, so it can sense them, just like Elvis Heller back then."
"But to avoid alerting them, I didn't approach Gemma Farley rashly."
Dumbledore waved at Fire Treasure, then winked at Carl, "Your caution is well-founded. After all, the sudden approach of the famous Boar Knight, Flame Lord, would indeed make ill-intentioned people wary."
Carl: (—_—)
I won't say anything about Flame Lord, but can you please forget that terrible title, Boar Knight?
I, Carl, am a celebrity, don't I have any dignity?
Being a Wizard is hard! Being a young Wizard is hard! Being a famous young Wizard is even harder!
"Cough!" Dumbledore coughed, avoiding Carl's accusing gaze.
"Tomorrow noon, I will hold a Prefect meeting under the pretext of an incident at the Quidditch Pitch. If Fire Treasure finds a problem then, we will directly take down Gemma Farley."
The two discussed the details and finally decided to set the location in Professor McGonagall's office.
Because after the action, she would be needed to reassure the other Prefects and explain the situation to them.
This was to prevent rumors from spreading in Hogwarts later: Dumbledore is moody and often beats students.
After everything was settled, it was already late at night.
Carl waved goodbye to Dumbledore, "Good night, Albus, I'm leaving."
"Good night, Carl," seeing the Cougar jump onto the windowsill, Dumbledore helplessly reminded him, "Be careful when climbing the Castle wall."
"Awooo!" Don't worry!
Carl was agile and quick; the Castle outer wall was like flat ground to him.
But midway through climbing, Carl suddenly remembered something.
He should have borrowed the marauders map from the Weasley Brothers; then he would know if Gemma Farley was impersonated by Polyjuice Potion.
Pfft! My brain!
Carl slapped his forehead in frustration. Was I climbing the wall?
"Meow—"
In the silent night, a certain cat's shriek instantly echoed through the Castle.
Dumbledore, who had just laid down, sighed, not even opening his eyes, and rolled over as if he hadn't heard anything.
And the Gryffindor Dean's office window was quickly pushed open forcefully, and an angry Professor McGonagall leaned out to look down.
"Carl!"
"Meow~"
The next noon, four figures walked out of the Great Hall together and headed upstairs.
They were Hufflepuff Prefect Gabriel Truman, Ravenclaw Prefect Penelope Clearwater, Gryffindor Prefect Percy Weasley, and Slytherin Prefect Gemma Farley.
"I wonder what Headmaster Dumbledore wants to tell us. I'm a little nervous."
Noticing Penelope's slight anxiety, Percy immediately leaned over to comfort her, "Don't worry, it's probably about what happened at the Quidditch Pitch yesterday. Although it should be the team captains from each house attending the meeting, who made us Prefects?"
"By the way, Penelope, what are your thoughts on student management? For example, amidst Percy's incessant talking, the four arrived at the Gryffindor Dean's office.
Percy, who had just stopped talking, took a quick step forward and gently knocked on the door.
Gabriel Truman, who was originally walking in front and had just raised his hand: What was that whoosh? Scared me! I almost kicked the door in!
"Come in!"
After receiving permission, Percy walked in first, head held high and chest puffed out, while the other three had no choice but to follow him.
"Excuse us! Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, we're here!"
At this moment, inside the office, Professor McGonagall was sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace, pointing her finger at Carl's head, faintly hearing a phrase like "Next time you climb the wall, I'll give you detention."
And Dumbledore seemed to have been looking out the window, only turning around when he heard them arrive.
