The Evil God of Hogwarts

On the third day after his trip to Glastonbury, Xing Ze unexpectedly received a letter from Ms. Rosmerta.

After reading the letter, Xing Ze threw it into the burning fireplace. The Muggle Studies common office is one of the few that insists on having a fireplace.

"Have you talked to all those students?" Professor Bubaji asked, leaning against the fireplace.

"Uh-huh." Xing Ze did not raise his head, but stared at the letter paper slowly turning into ashes in the fire, "We have talked about it, but don't have too much hope for the make-up exam, professor."

"As long as we do our own thing, it's hard for us to change the path those children choose."

"Professor, can I ask you a question?" Xing Ze raised his head and asked.

"Say it, Xing Ze. You've made me embarrassed."

"Wizards and Muggles, if one day they can no longer tolerate each other and they fight. Which side will you take?"

Professor Bubaji frowned, "I will not take any side. You have to understand, Xing Ze, we are not taking sides. The reason why we teach this course is to eliminate the possibility you mentioned.

"If your hypothesis happens in the future, it will only mean that our efforts have been in vain. I am not speaking for Muggles, Xing Ze, I am just doing my best to eliminate the barriers between the two worlds."

"So Professor, what do you think of the village of New Ravenska?"

"Want to hear the truth?"

Xing Ze nodded.

"Chaos," Professor Boubaji said mercilessly. "Under the surface of tranquility is chaos."

"Why do you say that? It should be the closest place where wizards and Muggles can live together."

"I wouldn't say that. The place looks so... For Merlin's sake, we'd have to talk about it for at least three days and three nights."

Ben always showed up at the right time, and this time was no exception. He walked into the office holding a stack of test papers.

"Hey, you're all here." He shouted cheerfully, "It's really difficult to meet you, Xing Ze."

"What's up?"

"No, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you received my Christmas gift?"

"Thank you, MacMillan. That novel is indeed interesting." Professor Bubbaji raised his glass to him.

"I'm glad you like it, professor." Ben put the test paper on his desk, "What about you, Xing Ze?"

"Me too, thanks for the bait."

"Speaking of which, do you want to go fishing? The ice in Black Lake has not yet melted, so it is very suitable for ice fishing." Ben suggested.

"No, I have to attend a meeting later."

"You're so boring." Ben waved his hand, "So, what were you talking about just now?"

Xing Ze replied without hesitation: "New Ravenska Village."

"Oh, it's not a good place there." Ben quickly came to his conclusion, "I heard that there are often parades, Muggles and wizards."

"What about Sheikh Mendes? What do you think of him?"

Ben raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with you, Xing Ze? Why are you suddenly concerned about the affairs of New Ravenska Village? Is it because of the murder? I smell a conspiracy."

"I want to use New Ravenska Village as an example to teach students how to live peacefully with Muggles."

"Like I said before, you are really boring." I spread my hands.

But he replied anyway: "Sheikh Mendes, the short-lived idealist."

Professor Boubaji agreed: "It's a rare thing, Ben, I agree with you. Sheikh Mendes could have brought a new atmosphere to the village of Novi Ravenska.

"Although I think it was mostly a show, he at least did it. Compared to his younger brother, Manel, he was much better. It's a pity that he disappeared when he was in his prime."

"There are rumors that Sheikh's disappearance was caused by his brother Manel. After all, they were both running for mayor at the time." Xing Ze asked.

Speaking of this, Ben immediately became interested, and he replied: "This matter was quite a big deal at the time, and the Ministry of Magic sent many people to look for Sheikh, but to no avail.

"As for Manel, after he successfully came to power, he issued a reward. Anyone who could find his brother would receive a thousand gold galleons. At that time, the reward was huge.

"I also went there, wanting to try my luck. But it wasn't that easy at all. I couldn't even find a place to live there.

“Because every hotel and hotel has been fully booked by bounty hunters, reporters and all kinds of onlookers who are flocking here.

"For Merlin's sake, I even suspect that Manel did this on purpose. He could have issued a reward before he became the mayor.

"That crazy day lasted for half a month, and it wasn't until those bounty hunters gave up and left that it came to an end. Guess who made the most money?"

"Innkeeper?" Xing Ze gave an answer.

"Wrong." Ben denied proudly, "It's the bar owners. In just half a month, those bar owners made as much as they usually earn in less than half a year. Then there are the prostitutes. In addition to alcohol, frustrated bounty hunters also need body comfort.

"Then came the reporters. What happened in those half months fed so many gossip reporters. People were happy to read such lively things. Then came the hotel owners. Do you know why? Because the rooms in the hotel are fixed."

Professor Boubaji interjected: "In my opinion, Manel is indeed a smart man. After he became the mayor of the town, he offered a reward, which on the one hand increased his exposure, both to the town and to himself.

"On the other hand, the influx of outsiders has greatly stimulated local consumption, thereby boosting the economy. This has won him many fans."

"Typical politician style." Ben summed it up. "That's why I said it was not a good place."

Xing Ze asked in confusion: "So about Sheikh Mendes, so many people have been searching for half a month, but there are no clues about him?"

He could go to the library and look through old newspapers, but there was someone who had experienced it before him, so why not make full use of it.

Sure enough, Ben started talking again.

Eliminate some nonsense and filter out some unnecessary complaints. There are two points worth noting in Ben's words.

Someone found traces of Sheikh in the village of Old Ravenska, but because there was no actual evidence, and subsequent investigations into Old Ravenska found nothing, this clue was lost.

Another point is anecdotal rumors, coming from the mouth of an unknown prostitute. She said the bounty hunters left not because they had lost hope in the search, but for another reason - people kept disappearing.

What finally made them decide to give up the search was the trip to the ruins of Old Ravenska. That search cost seven people, and they disappeared into the ruins as if they had evaporated.
