Chapter 1438: Passage and Conjecture

"You said that, Harry, this necklace used to be in Borgin Burke's shop. Hermione said, "From what we know so far, it's clear that Malfoy is a regular customer of the store, but that doesn't mean much, there are a lot of people going to the Borgin Burke store, not to mention that this thing was there almost five years ago." ”

"A month ago, the day we followed him, he went there to buy this thing. Harry didn't pay attention to Hermione's rebuttal, he stubbornly said, "He didn't forget it, he just wanted to go back and buy it!"

"I bought it just to put it in the women's restroom at the bar?!"

Harry stopped talking, it was really perverse, if it was Malfoy, there was no reason to murder Katie.

Evan was sure it was Malfoy, and he was on the move!

This kind of murder is not very clever, but there are many places that Evan has not thought through.

Hermione's questioning was reasonable, why would he choose to do it in the girls' restroom at the Three Broomsticks Bar?!

Evan couldn't remember a little, he was waiting for Mrs. Rosmerta to bring him a drink at the bar, he did feel a chaotic aura of magic, was someone casting a spell in it or was Malfoy borrowing some dark magic item?

He was sure it would be a dark magic item, but now that he thought about it, he wasn't a little sure.

If it was a dark magic item, how did Malfoy put it in the girls' bathroom?

How did he get that thing away after all this happened?

This means that he must have had an accomplice, who was in the Three Broomsticks Bar at the time......

But if you think about it, maybe there may not be this person at all.

Because Apparitions can do that too, as long as there is a Death Eater to work with him, it would be easy for Malfoy to do that.

Ai Wen struggled a little and gave up!

He didn't think too much about this kind of detail, as long as he knew that Malfoy was behind it.

As the group walked through the field, Professor McGonagall braved the rain and snow to meet them down the stone steps.

"Hagrid told me everything, and he said that the five of you saw what happened to Katie Bell, please come upstairs to my office immediately!" she paused, frowning at the pearl necklace floating beside Aven, "Wait, Mason, what's floating next to you?"

"That's what caused Katie's problems. Evan said.

"Oh my God!" Professor McGonagall said nervously, "you can still control it, can you? You're doing a good job, now put it down, be careful not to touch it...... No, no, Filch, they're with me!"

Filch walked from the foyer with a probe in his hand and tapping in high spirits.

Professor McGonagall pulled out her wand and pointed to the necklace floating in mid-air.

A ribbon emerged from the end of her wand, wrapping the necklace tightly, and she carefully handed it to Filch with the ribbon.

"Take this necklace to Professor Snape at once, Filch, don't touch it, just carry the ribbon!" she said, "all right, you five, come to my office." ”

Filch carried the ribbon-wrapped necklace to the basement, and the rest followed Professor McGonagall upstairs into her office, the rain and snow splashing windowpanes clicking in the window frames.

Despite the crackling fire in the grate, it was still cold inside.

Professor McGonagall closed the door and walked briskly behind the desk, frowning at Aven, Harry, Hermione, Elaine, and Linee, who was still crying.

"Say!" she said sternly, "what's the matter?"

Lini stammered, crying uncontrollably, pausing several times in between.

She tells Professor McGonagall how Katie had gone to the toilet at the Three Broomsticks Bar, how she had come back a little weird, with the unmarked package in her hand, and how the two of them had argued because she didn't think Katie should have agreed to hand over an unknown object.

On the way, when the argument reached its climax, the two began to snatch the package, which was ripped open.

At this point, Lini was completely emotionally broken and could no longer utter a word.

"Alright, alright. Professor McGonagall said gently, "Linee, go to the hospital and ask Madam Pomfrey to give you some medicine to suppress the shock." ”

After Lini left, Mrs. McGonagall turned to Aven, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine.

"What happened to Katie after she touched that necklace?"

"She's up into the air!" Hermione said, "Evan tried to get her down, and she started screaming, looking in pain. ”

"It wasn't until then that I realized that Katie wasn't under a spell, but under the influence of a dark magic object. "Then I saw the necklace in her hand and knocked it out, and she fell off. I used a few spells to solve the spell, and I gave her a bottle of calming potion, which I brewed myself......"

"You handled it well, Mason, and thankfully you were there and didn't let things get worse, the dark magic on that necklace, whatever it was, it must have been going to kill Katie on the spot. Professor McGonagall said with trepidation, "Madam Pomfrey just told me that thanks to your potion, she was able to stabilize her spirits. By the time Professor Snape had examined the necklace, we'd know what the dark magic was on it. Now, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Evan felt that there was nothing more to say, and his plan was to let things unfold first.

It was Malfoy's first operation, and it was clearly not yet time for Evan to make a move.

Besides, what about saying it? He didn't have any direct evidence here, and there were a lot of things about this incident that Evan hadn't figured out yet, and it was impossible to convince Professor McGonagall to believe him intellectually.

Hermione shook her head too, not to mention Elaine, her mind wasn't on that at all.

Only Harry hesitated, and he made up his mind to ask, "Professor, may I meet Professor Dumbledore?"

"The Headmaster is out and won't be back until Monday, Potter. Professor McGonagall said, looking surprised.

"Out of here?" Harry repeated angrily.

"Yes, Potter, get out!" Professor McGonagall said bitterly, "but I think you can tell me anything you have to say about this terrible thing!"

Harry didn't answer immediately, he seemed to have a hard time with Professor McGonagall.

Since the beginning of the school year, his various conjectures about Malfoy have been opposed by Hermione, Ron, and even Evan, but this is only an internal discussion between them, and now they have to talk about these things and tell the professor......

Dumbledore, though intimidating in many ways, seemed unlikely to turn his nose up at an idea, no matter how ridiculous it might be.

However, this is a matter of life and death, and there is no time to consider whether it will be ridiculed.
