Chapter 286

In the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, Dumbledore looked at the trembling Harry Potter and had a headache.

Filch's death was seen in public, and it was not easy to hide it.

But if you don't hide it, you just watched Harry being sent to Azkaban. Not to mention that he likes this child very much, let's just say that without Harry Potter as bait, it is not easy to find the Horcruxes that Voldemort left to resurrect himself.

With the loss of Harry Potter, Voldemort's resurrection is at hand.

What's more, he didn't believe Harry would kill Filch out of nowhere.

There must be someone behind this, but before he can do it, he has to do one thing.

Dumbledore took out a wand and looked at it with a complicated expression, this is not an ordinary wand, but the most powerful wand in the world today, the old wand, unlike other wands that can only cast spells steadily, the old wand can more than double his magic power and spell power.

Forget it!

Dumbledore's Elder Wand was aimed at Harry Potter.

Harry Potter's memories from the night were forcibly forgotten at this moment, and he walked back to his dormitory like a robot.

Dumbledore didn't stop, but left the Headmaster's office and raised his Elder Wand, and all the professors who were caught off guard were shrouded in oblivion, and each returned to his bedroom under the effect of the Oblivion Charm.

Then there were student dormitories, and all the students throughout Hogwarts were cast the Oblivion Curse.

Casting a large number of oblivion spells in a row, even with Dumbledore's magic, he was half tired to death.

If he had an old wand in a few years, he might not be able to do it, although he was already the most powerful white wizard in the world, but as he grew older, his body was still gradually declining, and the methods of immortality were not without them, but they were all too side effects.

His most proud disciple, Voldemort, was not at his peak to split his soul and create Horcruxes in an attempt to live forever.

As a result, he was really immortal, but he also became a madman with an extreme personality because of the side effects of splitting souls, if it wasn't for the hidden dangers caused by excessive soul splitting, how could he have been killed by Avada, who had been rebounded by Harry's mother's protective charm.

Dumbledore returned to the office, and Snape had waited with Zhao Mu and Hermione for a while.

Seeing Hermione appear as well, Dumbledore looked at Snape in surprise.

"He's been teaching Hermione ...... charms"

Snape said everything he knew.

Dumbledore looked at Zhao Mu deeply, although Rowan had perfect alibi evidence, it was too suspicious that he was born as a witcher, and it happened that Hermione had to testify against him at this critical time today, although it was very unlikely that Hermione might be lying.

Originally, he was very optimistic about this child, and planned to always train her as Harry's helper.

But now it seems that it is necessary for him to choose another candidate.

"To prove your innocence, take the Truth Elixir."

Dumbledore said in a deep voice.

"What if I refuse?"

Zhao Mu said angrily.

"Then you're the murderer of Filch."

Dumbledore said unquestioningly.

"Filch is dead?"

Zhao Mu pretended not to know at all and asked in surprise.

"You're the first suspect."

Dumbledore nodded.

"I'm here to take the elixir, she's still young and shouldn't be tortured like this."

Zhao Mu gritted his teeth and said.

"No way!"

Dumbledore shook his head resolutely.

The elixir is not a panacea, he is worried that Rowan can resist the elixir, even if he can resist Hermione, it is impossible, he must know whether Rowan participated in the incident of Harry killing Filch, if he can prove that he is innocent, he will naturally be compensated.

"I'm willing to drink the elixir."

Hermione said stubbornly, wiping away her tears from her eyes.

She and Professor Rowan were obviously innocent, but Professor Dumbledore was going to use the truth potion on them.

In this moment, she was extremely disappointed in Hogwarts.

"Snape."

Dumbledore said.

Snape pulled a small copper bottle from his pocket, picked up two cups from Dumbledore's table, and poured some more in one and less in the other, the latter small but enough for Hermione.

Zhao Mu stepped forward to pick up the cup and drank it, and soon the whole person entered a state of confusion.

Hurrying up, Snape began to ask pointed questions one after another.

Hermione was shocked to hear that Filch had been killed by Harry, and she knew that Professor Rowan had really been the witcher's enemy, the witcher, and that he hadn't lied to himself on the train, and that she now finally understood why Dumbledore had used the Truth Potion.

Understanding is understanding, but that doesn't mean she agrees with Dumbledore's approach.

The question was quickly asked, and Snape shook his head in disappointment, picked up another mug and handed it to Hermione.

Hermione drank it in one gulp, and soon lost her mind completely.

Reconfirming the same answer, Snape looked at Dumbledore with a look of fear on his face.

Rowan is innocent, and the biggest suspect left is Lord Voldemort.

Harry Potter is known as the savior of the wizarding world, and he foiled Voldemort's resurrection plan last year and destroyed part of Voldemort's soul.

This is too good for Voldemort, the first of which is that Harry Potter will be discredited.

Dumbledore felt that his head hurt even more, and he also suspected Voldemort, who had not been listed as the first object of suspicion before, because he didn't believe that Voldemort would recover so quickly, but if it wasn't for Voldemort, who else could do it.

Forget it!

Dumbledore casually cast the Oblivion Charm on Zhao Mu and Hermione.

All of Hogwarts, in the end, only Dumbledore himself and Snape knew what had happened.

Tomorrow is a new day, and Filch will be a retiree.

As for Dumbledore and Snape, they were no longer prepared to let the basilisk exist.

Although they didn't know the proper passage of the secret room, it was certain that the pipes in the walls could lead to the secret room, but when they entered the underground secret room, all they saw were a few snake scales, and the basilisk that had attacked Lady Loris not long ago had disappeared without a trace.

I searched for clues many times, but in the end there were no clues at all.

Dumbledore had to admit that he lost to Voldemort this time, and Voldemort was no longer on a brainless rampage like last year, but revenge for the breakthrough point through Harry, which was definitely too bad news for him.

For the first time, Dumbledore discovered that his grip on Hogwarts was not strong enough.

……

The Defence Against the Dark Arts professor was on business, and Hermione lowered her head and her eyes were flushed.

First the elixir, then the Oblivion Mantra.

If Professor Rowan hadn't secretly reminded her to use Occlumency when he went to the president's office again, and helped her recover her forgotten memories just now, I'm afraid she would have completely forgotten everything that happened tonight, just like everyone else.

Headmaster Dumbledore made her realize what an adult is and what a politician is.

What made her even more uncomfortable was Harry Potter, if he really didn't kill anyone, why did Headmaster Dumbledore use the Oblivion Charm to hide Filch's death to exonerate Harry, Harry and Ron were her best friends, but now the word friend made her feel even more frightened.
