Is this little bastard Wayne causing trouble again?
Snape sneered repeatedly, making Kingsley frown.
"Professor, you-"
"That's not some weirdo." Snape met Kingsley's questioning eyes, "That's Wayne, that's Batman."
Bruce Wayne, Son of Gotham, The Dark Knight, Batman, are well-known comic characters in the Muggle world.
However, Kingsley and the Aurors had never heard of it.
"Professor, are you kidding me? Bat-monster - Batman is Wayne? Is he the Vincent Wayne we know?"
Snape snorted coldly, "That's the little bastard."
After speaking, he gritted his teeth and his eyes were full of hatred. Even a fool knew that the two of them had a deep personal grudge.
Can you believe this?
Kingsley glanced at the Aurors beside him, "Professor, since Batman's true identity is Wayne, then who is Catwoman?"
Snape narrowed his slender eyes, "Granger has a pet cat, she must be Catwoman."
"Where's the Red Hood?"
"Afraid to show his face... Then he is either Scamander or Diggory."
Kingsley couldn't help but lower his head and think.
What Snape said was not completely unreasonable.
Tonks often said that her younger brother was not simple, but now it seems...
Kingsley was more polite, "Professor, do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence?" Snape's lips trembled slightly.
If there was evidence, he would have used it to deal with those little bastards. Why would there be any need to report it to the Aurors?
Seeing that he was speechless, Kingsley slightly emphasized his tone and said, "Professor, if you don't have definite evidence, then everything you just said is just your personal guess."
Snape's expression was particularly wonderful at this time.
I was filled with resentment and felt extremely uncomfortable, looking like I was constipated.
Kingsley's eyes became cold, "Professor, we have interviewed some students, and they all agreed that you are the elusive Batman."
The first grade fights against Quirrell... The second grade searches for Jomgande who is controlled by Parseltongue...
It was obviously Wayne, the little bastard who did it!
Being silent will only aggravate the suspicion.
The Aurors all had evil eyes, as if they were ready to take down the suspect in front of them at any moment and seek justice for the three injured colleagues.
Even if Snape jumped into the Ganges this time, he wouldn't be able to clean himself.
That afternoon,
Several students who naughtily broke into the dungeon heard the fierce quarrel in the potions office.
Good guys, the rumors have escalated again.
"Snape is going to Azkaban."
"Ah? Why?"
"Isn't he that weirdo Bat? The Aurors went to arrest him during the day, but he refused to cooperate. I heard there was a fight."
"Merlin's beard! I'm afraid Snape is doomed!"
Fred and George looked at each other in the distance and left with satisfaction.
The rumors didn't come from them, they just slightly artistically processed it.
At this time, Snape was in the headmaster's office.
Dumbledore persuaded him kindly for a long time, finally suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Severus, remember to put the overall situation first."
Snape snorted coldly and agreed.
Fudge wanted to interfere with Hogwarts, and Vincent deliberately gave the Aurors a good reason. The whole thing had begun to become complicated.
Dumbledore raised the corner of his mouth slightly and glanced at the comic book on the table, "Severus, I will tell Kingsley to stop."
Snape sneered, "Things had better go the way you want. I don't want to take the blame for this little bastard Wayne."
"If things go well, we can even bring out the person who has been hiding."
Snape's pupils shrank instantly, and his entire face was filled with deep hatred.
He took a deep breath and stopped the trembling of his hands, "Dumbledore, if Black appears, please let me deal with him personally."
Dumbledore shook his head and whispered, "Severus, you have to learn to let go of your hatred."
"Oh -" Snape sneered again and again, "I will get all the information you want before killing him with my own hands."
After saying that, he stood up and left with an extremely cold breath.
Dumbledore stared at his back silently.
Hatred can destroy a person, but it can also make a person successful.
And people who are driven by hatred are not only pitiful but also very sad.
…
…
Ministry of Magic, Auror Office.
Scrimgeour frowned and put down the latest report from Kingsley.
He pinched his eyebrows and sighed several times.
Sirius's search has yielded no news so far, and the Aurors sent by Hogwarts have been attacked by a group of weirdos.
If the matter is reported, Fudge will definitely transfer people to Hogwarts.
If Sirius succeeded because of this, it would definitely be him, the Director of the Auror Office, who would take the blame.
"Alas - I can only take one step at a time..."
Scrimgeour stood up, opened the door, and walked slowly to the minister's office.
"Knock knock——"
"Come in."
Fudge was in a good mood, after all, nothing big happened recently.
But his good mood ended completely after listening to Scrimgeour's report.
"Batman? Catwoman? Red Hood?"
Fudge looked like he had seen a ghost, "Rufus, are you kidding me?"
Scrimgeour said with a serious face, "Mr. Minister, the report came from Kingsley. If the content has not been tampered with, I think it is probably true."
Kingsley has been doing his job since he entered the Auror office. He is a well-known outstanding cadre in the department, and it is unlikely that he would dare to exaggerate the facts without authorization.
So, is there really a Batman haunting Hogwarts?
"Any suspects?"
"Yes, many students think Professor Severus Snape is Batman."
"What about Catwoman and Red Hood?"
"There are no clues yet."
Fudge fell silent and tapped his fingertips on the table.
"Rufus, what do you think?"
Scrimgeour stood up straight, his eyes extremely firm, "I think we should wait and see what happens first and take more precautions."
Fudge shook his head and said, "Rufus, this will make the outside world think that our Ministry of Magic is weak and cannot even deal with small school ghost stories."
"Mr. Minister, our current focus should be on Sirius."
"Rufus, in addition to Batman, there is also Catwoman and the Red Hood." Fudge looked a little unhappy.
"They are Severus Snape's accomplices, and we must get to the bottom of this matter."
Scrimgeour's aura was much weaker, and his eyes were not as firm as before, "Mr. Minister, there is no direct evidence to prove that Professor Snape is Batman."
"There's no evidence that he's not, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Minister." His broad shoulders shrugged.
I have tried my best, but still can't change the Ministry of Magic's decision to send more manpower to Hogwarts.
After all, he is just the director of a small Auror office, so how can he be compared to the Minister of Magic.
