Chapter Seventy-One: The Dust Has Settled

"Peeves?" Professor McGonagall asked, incredulous. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Her expression was like seeing a swarm of bats soaring in the light outside.

Hermione nodded affirmatively. Ron hurriedly supported her, "That's right, it's Peeves, Nick and all the ghosts there have seen it, and Barrow the Bloody Man left to seek revenge on Peeves!"

Professor McGonagall clearly sensed that things were complicated, and she looked at Dumbledore and asked what to do.

"Minerva, you go and take Helena to Madam Pomfrey. I'll be there then. Dumbledore wasn't as surprised as the other teachers, he just calmly arranged, "Filch, it's going to be fine." ”

He paused, turned to Harry, and didn't speak immediately. Instead, he glanced at Harry with an inquiring gaze, and Harry's expression was a little weak and nervous, as if everything on his mind had been seen through.

Vio breathed a sigh of relief, she should have thought of the Dementor for a long time, the weapon to explain everything in silence.

But Professor Snape also seemed to foresee the future of Harry's innocence, and he reluctantly preemptively said, "My opinion is that neither the Headmaster, nor the little girl of the Potter nor the Weasleys are telling the truth.

"Even if a stiff ghost appeared at the death party and a petrified cat was found in the hallway, why didn't you immediately think to inform the professor that you should have followed this common sense behavior?

"We should probably revoke some of Potter's privileges until he tells us what it is. Personally, I think it's best to let him go out of the Gryffindor Quidditch team and wait until he's honest. ”

Professor McGonagall turned and walked to the door, but when she heard Professor Snape's last words, she turned around in a hurry and exclaimed, "Honestly, Severus, there's no proper reason for that!"

"This cat wasn't swept in the head by this child's broom. And I don't see any evidence that Potter and Weasley did anything wrong. ”

Professor Snape was about to retort, but Professor Dumbledore calmly said, "As long as you are not proven guilty, you are innocent, Severus." ”

Professor McGonagall was relieved to leave, and she drove away the students who insisted on hearing what was happening.

In his office, Filch looked annoyed, "My cat is petrified! I want to see someone punished!" he slammed the table as if Harry were the table.

"We can cure it, I said, Filch. Dumbledore said softly, "Lady Sprout has recently gotten some mandrakes, and once they are ripe, I have a medicine that will bring Lady Loris back to life." ”

"I'll make it!" Lockhart finally found a place for himself again. "I've made it a hundred times! I can even dream about it while making a mandrake resurrection potion."

"I beg your pardon!" Professor Snape said coldly, "I think I'm the Potions teacher at this school. ”

There was an awkward silence, and Dumbledore didn't immediately clear Lockhart.

He waited for a moment, as if certain that Lockhart had benefited from the silence, before he said to Filch, "Do you need a child to help get Mrs. Loris to Madam Pomfrey, Filch?"

Filch's lips moved, and after the emotional debate just now, his energy really couldn't guarantee to hold Mrs. Loris until the school hospital he couldn't watch the cat stiffen in his arms without crying.

"Would any of you want to help?" Dumbledore looked at the remaining five students in the room.

Vio lowered her head, hoping that he would quickly finish choosing someone and go back to the dormitory herself, but after waiting for a while and not hearing a candidate, she looked up a little impatiently to meet Dumbledore's blue eyes.

She suddenly couldn't tell if Dumbledore had prepared it for her.

Hermione, Harry, and Ron all looked at her.

Best of all, so is Filch.

"I" Vio found himself unable to make any excuse for Filch's wrinkled eyes, so he simply walked over to the table and picked up Mrs. Loris.

The cat saved her when she was almost pushed downstairs by Peeves that day, and hugging it now might be a trivial thing Vio can do for him.

Vio nodded to the other three, then walked out with the cat in his arms, and Filch choked up and followed her. As he passed Harry, his eyes almost jumped out of his sockets.

Ron and Hermione pulled Harry back a few steps.

Dumbledore saw all of this in his eyes, and he said to the three of them, "You can go." I have a few things I'd like to talk to Miss Weasley about. ”

"It can't be my sister!Professor!she's only in first grade!Pieves wasn't there when she threw Helena!" Ron said in a panic, squeezing Ginny's hand tightly.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Weasley, there are a lot of people involved in this matter, and Miss Weasley may be able to provide some direction. That's all. Dumbledore said.

Ginny looked at him and nodded. Ron had no choice but to leave Ginny alone.

After leaving Lockhart's office, the three of them walked towards the school hospital as if they had planned for a long time.

The hallway was silent, save for their footsteps, and Harry waited for a moment, then turned sideways to look at Ron and Hermione.

"Do you say, should I tell them the voice I heard?"

"Don't say," Ron said without thinking, "it's not a good sign to hear voices and see things that others can't, even in the wizarding world. ”

Harry heard something in Ron's words, and he asked nervously, "You are, you believe me, do you?"

"Oh, don't be stupid, of course I believe it," Ron said sullenly, "my own sister was there before you, and I stayed with you all the time." However, you have to admit that this is really bizarre."

"I know it's weird, by the way, do you think Vio can hear the voice and the words on the wall, what does that mean?" Harry pondered. "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened before, that's what it says"

"It's happened before. Hermione said with a frown. "When they interrogated you just now, Vio asked me what I meant by that, and then I thought of Helena, whom we had seen before that cat. ”

"Vio can be useful sometimes," Ron muttered.

Harry couldn't have agreed more. "But what is a squib?" he asked.

The question brought Ron out of his gloom, and he chuckled. Hermione looked at him with a chuckle and shook her head.

"That's actually not ridiculous at all, but it's Filch Squib, a man born into a wizarding family with no magic at all, as opposed to Muggle-born wizards. Squibs are also rare, but Filch just happens to explain his attitude towards his students, he is jealous of us!"

Hermione snorted loudly, Ron still smiling.

Harry saw a large shadow over him, and he looked up, and Filch's face magnified several times over, looking at him viciously.

It turned out that before they knew it, they had already walked to the school hospital.

Vio was nowhere to be seen. (To be continued.) "Elegy for Glory" only represents the author's point of view, if its content is found to be in violation of national laws and conflicts, please delete it, the position is only committed to providing a healthy and green reading platform.
