2. The 18 Invitations

7 June 2019, Friday

The detective officially started investigating the case. They started first by finding out about the 18 people invited to the remote island. (The 18 people who received invitations were as stated in the list below.)

1. Harry James Potter

2. Hermione Jean Granger

3. Ronald Bilius Weasley

4. Ginevra Molly Weasley

5. Luna Lovegood

6. Neville Longbottom

7. Draco Lucius Malfoy

8. Daphne Greengrass

9. Cedric Diggory

10. Albus Dumbledore

11. Severus Snape

12. Remus Lupin

13. Cho Chang

14. Dolores Umbridge

15. Minerva Mcgonagall

16. Alastor Moody

17. George Weasley

18. Peter Pettigrew

Each and every one of these eighteen people received an invitation to a remote island practically in the middle of nowhere. Or perhaps, to be more precise, rather than an invitation, the letters were more of "threats". After getting ahold of a few letters that were kept as evidence through the means of some persuasion, there were hints of blackmail contained in the letters. (For example, the contents of one particular letter addressed to Remus Lupin were as such, "I know the sins you have committed against who you held dear. The moon is my witness, foolish were your actions. Fret not, for you have been invited to Hogwarts, a remote island, on 6 June 2009. You, my dear sinner, have been given a chance to go to the Golden Land." Yours truly,

X)

The other letters had similar contents. Threatened by the mysterious X, the 18 people went to the remote island, Hogwarts.

Furthermore, the Golden Land. It was mentioned in all of the letters as well as the letter the detective received. Inferring from the letters, it seemed to be a place where sinners could cleanse themselves of their sins. However, there seemed to be more to it. In some letters, the Golden Land appeared to be written as temptation for the recipients. The statements, "You will be led to the Golden Land." and "The Golden Land will open for you." appeared quite frequently. It appears to be a positive temptation.

However, the detective still need more information to confirm their deductions.

Ding ding!

Oh dear, it seems as if time is up for today. Well then, before we stop this game for a while, let's have a mini-game shall we? The mini-game is very simple and the reward is substantial.

Should anyone of you detectives answer the question below correctly, I will give you a hint.

Mini-game Start!

Each and every one of the 18 people in the list received an invitation containing similar messages. However, one of the 18 people showed someone else their letter and it was stolen. Now the question is who stole the letter from whom?

P. S. Dear detectives, you have to guess both identities correctly in order to get the reward!
