Howard, who was chosen by Gellert, certainly could not be a kind-hearted person. Although he was not bloodthirsty, he would not take human lives to heart. It was just that the location of the accident this time was really delicate, and he did not want the Ministry of Magic to take this opportunity to interfere in Hogwarts.

——It is not impossible. Barty Crouch Jr.'s father was extremely sad after seeing his son's body. He used his influence in the British wizarding world over the years to put pressure on Howard and wanted to thoroughly investigate the entire Hogwarts Castle until the murderer was found.

Although his unreasonable request was rejected by the Hogwarts directors, Howard didn't think he would give up the idea easily.

Thanks to the former robbery group, there are hundreds more candidates for building the altar in the Screaming Shack, and then contact their friends and relatives...

This clue is almost dead.

Howard had no choice but to find a way to find the live map - he was not idle, so why did he allow that kind of thing to continue to circulate in the school? Did he think that the students had been too obedient recently?

Sirius said himself that the map recorded more than one secret passage leading to Hogsmeade. Who knew if there were any dangerous places up there?

With a simple flying spell, the Marauder's Map stolen from the detention room by the Weasley twins appeared on the desk.

The Marauder's Map was drawn on a crumpled piece of parchment, using apparently very advanced and impressive magic, and could track the movements of everyone within the castle.

Howard had to admit that this map was indeed very well made and the depiction of the castle was very comprehensive. He looked through the map carefully, and then his eyes stopped on a completely unfamiliar name.

—Sebastian Michaelis.

Howard: !!!

Who is this person? Why did he appear in the castle without anyone noticing? Could he be the murderer of Barty Crouch Jr.? Will he be a danger to the students?

Howard's mind was racing, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He suddenly stood up from his chair and strode out of the office.

"Headmaster?" Sirius asked in confusion.

"A strange name appeared on the map." He threw down a sentence without even turning his head.

Hearing this, Snape and Sirius' faces turned serious and they hurriedly followed.

Sebastian, who had no idea that he had been exposed because of a map, was currently teaching Ciel physics in his dormitory, or rather, checking what Ciel had learned before.

Looking at the paper full of exercises, Charles curled his lips, "How can I finish so many questions in half an hour?"

"Oh? Are you questioning my educational policy?" The thin and long teaching stick lifted Charles' chin, forcing him to look up. He wore a pair of frameless glasses on his nose, and looked like a gentlemanly villain. He squinted his eyes slightly.

"Now, I am the rule."

"Tsk, got it." Charles used the pen in his hand to separate the pointer, lowered his head and began to concentrate on calculating. Before he finished the first problem, his door was pushed open from the outside.

Then Howard rushed in with Snape and Sirius, looking aggressive and ready for battle.

In fact, Howard was the only one who was on high alert; the other two relaxed after entering the Slytherin common room.

They all realized who the stranger Howard was talking about was.

"Howard, Principal?" Charles was stunned for a moment, then quickly figured out the current situation. He glared at Sebastian who was standing beside him.

He knew that this devil must have done something unnecessary behind his back!

Sebastian is truly innocent this time Michaelis: ???

"Can you please put down your wand first?" Ciel pinched his aching brow. "He is just my butler, not a dangerous person."

"Butler?" Howard looked the tall man up and down, hesitated for a moment, put down his wand, and frowned at Ciel. "Mr. Phantomhive, can you tell me why your butler appeared in the castle?"

"How did he get in?"

"I think you should know that outsiders are not allowed to enter Hogwarts casually."

"Yes, I know." Charles didn't know how to explain it to him for a moment, so he could only nod perfunctorily, "It's just that I need him to help me with some work matters."

Howard almost laughed at this "explanation". "Work? Mr. Phantomhive, can you please tell me what kind of work must be done by a child who just turned thirteen?"

Snape and Sirius, who had seen what Charles was capable of: "......"

"Whether he is here to handle work or to take care of your daily life, I think Mr. Phantomhive should know better than anyone else."

"If you wanted to deceive me, maybe you could have found some less lame excuses."

Ciel, who felt inexplicably guilty, said: ...

"No matter what your reason is, it is not an excuse for trespassing into Hogwarts. Now, please leave the castle immediately," Howard said solemnly, "As for Mr. Phantomhive, your behavior is against school rules. For the next semester..."

"Wait a moment," Sebastian interrupted.

"Does Mr. Michaelis have any other opinions?" Howard frowned and looked at him.

"As the young master's personal steward, it is my job to stay by his side and protect him. I will not leave him."

Howard was even more angry at the understatement. There were already a lot of things going on in school recently, and someone was trying to make him unhappy...

"Mr. Howard, before you announce the punishment for the young master, someone wants to say a few words to you." Sebastian handed a two-sided mirror to Howard as if he was completely unaware of his anger.

what is this?

Is the spoiled young master going to ask his parents to put pressure on him?

Howard had a mocking smile on his face.

It's a pity that they miscalculated. He is not a weakling who can be easily threatened...

Seeing that Howard had no intention of taking the two-sided mirror, Sebastian simply held the two-sided mirror upright so that the mirror was facing his face.

"I don't think...Mr. Grindelwald!!!" The indifferent expression on Howard's face froze instantly when he saw the figure appearing on the other side of the two-way mirror.
