Chapter 43 Inquiry
"Sure enough, it's the Black Thorn Curse!Is there a dark wizard in the castle?" Blackface Bagman narrowed his eyes when he saw the wound on Melinda's abdomen, and his tone was very solemn.
Lord Hufflepuff flicked his wand, and a glittering golden cup immediately flew into the air, hovering over Melinda's body, and then a gentle bright yellow light wrapped Melinda's abdomen, enveloping the black ** force that adhered to the wound, and then began to slowly lock.
Those black magic power was oppressed and made a very violent resistance, you can see it like a beast caught in a net, desperately struggling, but no matter how sharp its claws are, how powerful it is, it can't break free from the cage of Lord Hufflepuff, like a trapped beast, it can only exhaust the last trace of strength in vain, and then it is wrapped in bright yellow magic and sucked into the golden cup at the top, disappearing!
Gold Cup! Hufflepuff Lord's Gold Cup!
From the beginning, Hugo's attention has shifted from Melinda's abdomen to this golden cup suspended in mid-air, the only relic of His Excellency Hufflepuff that has been handed down in later generations, a magical and powerful magic item, at this time quietly floating in front of Hugo, exuding a heavy but warm light, just looking at it has a very reassuring feeling, as if seeing the mother's sewing box, father's ashtray as kind and natural, people have a desire to get close.
It was golden, with a pair of finely carved pure gold handles, and a living badger on the cup!
Just when Hugo was in a daze because he saw the magic items that had been passed down for a thousand years, Lord Hufflepuff had already rescued the seriously injured Melinda, and she released a magic in Melinda's abdomen, and the abdominal cavity that had been broken by the black magic was magically healed, and she didn't even see a single scar!
By this time, Lord Hufflepuff seemed to be finally done, she put a wool blanket over Melinda's body, and made a silent gesture to Bagman and Hugo, and then turned around and left her laboratory with two men, Hugo was the last to leave, and behind him, the door to the laboratory automatically closed, leaving the hapless Melinda alone in the laboratory unconscious.
When Hugo came to the outside room, he was stunned, only to see that in addition to Lord Hufflepuff, who was lazily sinking into the oak chair again, and Mr. Bagman, who was standing solemnly in the corner, the other three founders of Hogwarts also appeared in this room that did not look too spacious!
At this moment, the four giants all appeared in front of Hugo, each of them had a different temperament, image and style! The pressure they brought to Hugo was much greater than when he was in the freshman branch, although none of the four lords deliberately exuded the coercion of magic, but just standing there, they had a kind of momentum of mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon condensed, which made people's hearts and minds take over.
Hugo felt that his little heart secretly stopped beating, and then beat uncontrollably and rapidly, and couldn't help but swallow and spit secretly, standing stiffly in place, looking a little at a loss!
At this time, Lord Hufflepuff, who was sitting in an oak chair, spoke first: "When Bagman first arrived here, I asked Kuku to inform you, that the child's life is no longer in question, and the physical trauma will slowly recover."
"Is it dark magic?" asked Lord Gryffindor, his brows furrowed slightly, in a low voice.
Lord Hufflepuff nodded slightly, and said gently, "It's Black Thorn!"
Hearing this name, the other lords all subconsciously frowned, only Lord Ravenclaw walked to the wine cabinet next to the bookshelf with an expressionless face, took out a bottle of wine very skillfully, poured himself a glass of dark red liquid, and then took a slight sip, as if any dark wizard and any black thorn had nothing to do with her.
Lord Slytherin suddenly asked, "Was Bagman the first to find the injured little girl?"
Teacher Bagman said respectfully: "No, it's not me, I was in my office at the time, and suddenly I felt a powerful magic fluctuation nearby, and then there was a scream, and after being stunned, I quickly ran out of the office and ran towards the place where the scream, and when I arrived at the place, Mr. Trelawney was already there, and he should be the first to arrive at the scene!"
"So, you didn't see any suspicious people on your way?" Slytherin asked again carefully.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I have not seen anyone but Mr. Trelawney!"
Slattery nodded slightly, and did not ask him any more, but turned his head to look at Hugo, who felt as if he had been drenched from head to toe by a basin of cold water, as if all the secrets in his body were in the eyes of this lord, and there was no room for concealment!
The space around him seemed to be distorted by Lord Slytherin's gaze, and slowly even the other Excellencies, Mr. Bagman, and the whole room disappeared from Hugo's perception, as if there were only two people in the whole world, Hugo and Lord Slytherin, who was becoming more and more oppressive across from him!
At this time, two huge vertical pupils suddenly lit up behind Slytherin, like two terrifying snake eyes hanging in Hugo's perception, making his hair stand on end and numb all over, and the pair of snake eyes emitted a strange light, as if even Hugo's soul could not escape this gaze, and the slightest abnormal movement would be scattered.
It seemed like a long time later, and it seemed like only an instant, Hugo woke up from this terrible hallucination, his face turned pale, and he was covered in cold sweat, and he swallowed a mouthful of spit and looked at Lord Slytherin for some reason, not knowing why he had pulled himself into that terrible hallucination.
With an apologetic expression, Slytherin took a flask from his sleeve and placed it in Hugo's hand, and said in a magnetic voice, "It was a small test, I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to Mr. Trelawney, this bottle of deep blood potion should be a small compensation"
"So there's nothing wrong with this kid?" asked Lord Hufflepuff.
"Yes, he's a real Trelawney, not a Medicus Curse, not a magically controlled puppet by a dark wizard"
