"Little Niko is probably going to be sad!" Looking at Lady Loris, who was hanging from the torch stand, Daphany secretly smashed her mouth. She finally remembered this one, the first kill of the basilisk was not given to anyone, but to a cat.

Just after the Halloween party ended, all the students hula out of the auditorium. Then I saw the trio who were stunned by the cat and Qiangshang. Dafanie glanced at the ground, and sure enough, there was a lot of standing water on it.

The chamber was opened. Those who are enemies of the heirs, be vigilant! Draco leaned in and read the words on the wall. He stood at the front of the crowd. Looking at the words on the wall and then at the trio, his face was complicated. The crowd looked at the line and the Lady Loris hanging on the strong, and at first there was silence, and then there was a loud noise. Obviously, everything in front of them was a bit scary for a group of young wizards

"What's going on here, what's going on?" Filch was drawn to the noise. He squeezed into the crowd, and then saw Lady Loris hanging on top of Qiang. Filch was visibly irritated and stumbled back a few steps. If it weren't for the crowd behind him, he would definitely fall.

"My cat, my cat! What happened to Lady Loris? Filch screamed. Filch, looking around, looked at the Harry trio.

"You, it's you!" He pointed at Harry and screamed, "You killed my cat, you killed it!" I'm going to kill you! I'm going to ......"

"Filch!" Dumbledore, who was also in the Great Hall, arrived just in time, followed by many other teachers. In the blink of an eye, he had bypassed the Harry trio, stopping Filch from coming to Lady Loris at the same time. After a moment's scrutiny, then a slight frown, she took Lady Loris down.

"Severus, come on!" Dumbledore looked at the cat in his hand, his tone a little puzzled.

pretending to be true, Dafanie secretly complained, this is the Oscar Best Actor!

Snape stepped forward and looked at it for the same moment. Before he could speak, Lockhart came up, and he seemed to want to say something, but Dumbledore spoke first.

"Come with me, Filch." Professor Dumbledore said to Filch, then looked at the trio, "And you, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger. ”

"Miss Lestrancy had better come along!" Snape spoke suddenly.

Daphany looked confused: "Professor, I didn't do it, I was in the auditorium just now!" ”

Sisters Cho and Pettier also nodded their heads, proving that Daphany had been with them all along.

"I don't think Miss Daphany is the murderer, I just think she might be able to help!" Met Dumbledore's questioning gaze, Snape explained.

Dumbledore nodded, "Okay, let's come along!" ”

"My office is the closest to here, and the Headmaster -- just upstairs -- you can—" Lockhart hurriedly interjected.

"Okay, thank you, Gildero!" Dumbledore nodded in agreement.

Dumbledore, Snape, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Lockhart arrived at Lockhart's office with the four children.

As they walked into Lockhart's dimly lit office, there was a sudden commotion on the wall. Daphany noticed several photos of Lockhart hiding in a panic, with curling barrels in their hair. At this point, the real Lockhart lit the magic lamp on the table and stepped back.

Dumbledore placed Lady Loris on the polished table and began to examine it carefully. Harry, Ron, and Hermione nervously exchanged glances. Daphine on the side looked indifferent. Compared to the three suspects, she was much less stressed. At Dumbledore's signal, the four of them sat down on a few chairs next to them and watched closely.

The tip of Dumbledore's long, hooked nose almost touched the fur on Lady Loris. He scrutinized it through the lenses of his half-moon glasses, his slender fingers poking and poking here and there.

Professor McGonagall squinted over the cat, her face almost touching the cat. Professor Flitwick simply sat down at the table. Lockhart's table was a bit high, and even when he was standing in a chair, it was not convenient for him to observe

Snape stood behind them, half of his body hidden in the shadows, looking eerie. The expression on his face was strange: as if he was desperately trying to restrain himself from laughing. Lockhart wandered around them, incessantly giving advice. Filch sobbed and glared at Harry with a vicious gaze.

"It must have been a curse that killed it -- probably a Transfiguration Torture Spell. I've seen people use this spell many times, and I'm sorry I wasn't there, I happened to know the spell and could have saved it......"

As Lockhart's words fell, Filch, who had been sobbing quietly, began to cry loudly, and even covered his face with his hands, and his body on the chair next to him began to tremble.

Daphne noticed a flash of sympathy on the trio's faces. Well, Daphany tried her best to put on that expression herself, but without a mirror, she didn't know if the pretending would be successful or not.

At this time, Dumbledore whispered something strange, and Daphany heard that it was a very clever spell solution, and tapped Lady Loris with his wand, but there was no response: Lady Loris was still lying there stiffly, like a freshly made specimen, and on closer inspection, Lady Loris's body had a slight bluish discoloration on the surface of her body.

“…… I remember something very similar in Ouagadougou," Lockhart said, "and a series of attacks that I have detailed in my autobiography." At that time, I provided all kinds of amulets to the common people, and the problem was solved at once.."

As he spoke, the pictures of Lockhart on the wall all nodded in agreement. One of them forgot to remove his hairnet.

Finally, Dumbledore straightened up.

"It's not dead, Filch." He whispered.

Lockhart was counting how many murders he had prevented, when he suddenly stopped.

"Not dead?" When Filch heard this, he tried to stop crying, choked up, and looked at Lady Loris through his fingers, "Then why is it all over- Freeze all over, as if frozen?"

"It's petrified!" Dumbledore said. The other three professors present also showed expressions of approval.

"Ah, yes, I think so too." Lockhart said.

"But...... I'm confused......" Dumbledore frowned, "I don't know, how this petrification is caused!" ”

"Ask him!" Filch screamed, pointing at Harry and shouting, "He did it." ”

"I don't think sophomores can do that." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "This is very clever dark magic! ”

"He did it, he did it!" Filch said with a spit of his face, his fat and sagging face turning purple. "You saw what he wrote on the wall! He found out -- in my office -- he knew I was -- I was -- "Filch's face twitched horribly. He knows I'm a Squib!"

Yo, there is still such a play? Daphine raised an eyebrow, completely unaware of what was going on. Although she had known for a long time that Filch was a Squib.

"I didn't touch Lady Loris!" Harry quickly argued loudly, uneasy at realizing that everyone was watching him, including all the Lockharts on the wall. "I don't even know what a squib means."

After that, Snape spoke. Of course, he wouldn't defend Harry, but tried to get Harry to have some of his favors removed, such as not allowing him to participate in Quidditch matches. Of course, Dumbledore wouldn't agree with that, let alone Professor McGonagall still here. Gryffindor lost to Slytherin last year, and Professor McGonagall was not convinced. This year, I was holding my back to get back on the field, and Harry was definitely the key to it.

Dafanie had been watching the excitement when Snape turned the subject to her, "Miss Lestranzi, would you like to talk about what you think of this magic?" ”

"Me?" Daphany was stunned for a moment, pointed to her nose and asked in confusion. There were four branch directors in the room, as well as the headmaster. Except for the trio, she is the worst level, and she can still be asked.

Several professors, including Dumbledore, also looked at Snape curiously.

"Your Excellency, I hope to get a few critters over and let Miss Lestranzie use petrification so that everyone can see the effect!" Snape said.

"Severus, what's the point of doing that?" Professor McGonagall frowned, "Miss Lestranzi was in the auditorium during the evening, and many people, including me, saw it. ”

"Yes, Professor McGonagall. I saw it too. I don't doubt what she means, I just want Miss Lestranzie to show you something, and you might find it inspired! Snape said with a blank face.

Professor McGonagall stared at Snape and clapped her hands after a few seconds.

With a swipe, a house-elf suddenly appeared in the room. I saw him bow slightly and greet everyone present. Then he turned to Professor McGonagall, "Do you have any orders, Vice Chancellor?" ”

"It's Groot," Professor McGonagall smiled, "it's a little thing I need your help with, you can help me catch some mice or rabbits or something." To live, the sooner the better! ”

"Yes, right away!" The elf named Groot bowed and disappeared in place. In less than two minutes, Groot appeared in the room with two fat mice and two long-eared hares. "Vice Principal, have you seen enough?"

Professor McGonagall didn't speak, but looked at Snape.

With a wave of Snape's hand, four cages appeared on the ground out of thin air. Elf Groot understands and puts the mouse and rabbit in separate cages before disappearing into the room.

Everyone wondered what Snape was going to do.

Snape turned to Daphany, "Miss Lestranzie, please give one of them a petrification!" ”

Daphany frowned slightly, not knowing why. However, he still took out his wand and obediently stepped forward, and used petrification on a mouse. The mouse shuddered and immediately remained motionless, with a slight bluish discoloration on the surface of its body. At first glance, it looks very similar to Lady Loris's situation. Everyone in the room was stunned, especially the trio, and there was something wrong with Daphany's eyes again.

Daphany looked confused, what's wrong, is there something abnormal happening?

"You must have noticed, right? Miss Lestranzi's petrification! The effect is amazing! Snape said indifferently, and then stepped forward himself, and also used petrification on the mouse. The rat froze, but the surface of its body did not change color.

"Professor McGonagall, please try to unravel the spell!" Snape said.

Professor McGonagall nodded, and pointed at Snape's petrified rats, which were successfully depetrified. After that the same way on Daphne petrified the rats.

Something strange happened, after Professor McGonagall's recovery spell, Daphany's petrified rat only had a bluish gray color on its body, but it showed no signs of recovery. Professor McGonagall cast the Recovery Charm three times in a row before the rat returned to normal.

"What a petrification spell!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed, looking at Daphany with a strange gaze.

"I think even if I make a move, that's it!" Professor Flitvier on the side sighed, "Probably, only Professor Dumbledore's magic can make the effect even further, right?" ”

"Then here's the problem!" Snape spoke again, "I don't think Miss Lestranzey's magic is on the level of Flitvy's or Professor McGonagall's. I even think that even my magic is better than Miss Lestranz's. However, this phenomenon is a bit difficult to explain. I wonder if it has anything to do with this attack. ”

There's an insider! The trio's faces clearly have these three words written on them.

Your uncle! Daphany had those three words in mind.
