"Argus!"

With a shout, Dumbledore and the professors arrived in time to stop Filch, the janitor who was about to move.

"Argus, I—" Before the White Wizard could finish speaking, he saw blood-colored writing on the wall.

Then he immediately made a decision and ordered all the young wizards to return to the dormitory immediately.

In the end, only Harry's trio and Filch were left.

When the Fellows had driven the children back, Dumbledore comforted the janitor who was about to cry: "It's not dead, Argus, it's just petrified." ”

At this time, Lockhart suddenly jumped out and said unashamedly: "I knew it, but unfortunately I was not there at the time." ”

"Otherwise, I'll be able to save this cat!"

Dumbledore, who knew what level he was, looked at him with a smile and didn't answer.

The rest of the professors also had a bit of banter in their eyes, and Lockhart had only been here for a few days, and they had all heard about the glorious deeds of being sent to the university hospital.

Ignoring the liar writer entirely, Dumbledore continued to speak to the janitor, "But how it was petrified, it's hard to say. ”

Even though he knew that his cat wasn't dead, Filch was still angry.

He pursed his lips and glanced at Harry next to him, "Ask him, he did it, you can see the writing he wrote on the wall." ”

But Harry, on the other side, had grievances written on his face, and immediately retorted: "It's not me, I swear!" ”

"When I got here, Lady Loris was already like that!"

Filch firmly believed that he was quibbling, so he shouted excitedly: "You! ”

Seeing that the atmosphere around him was becoming more and more solemn, Professor Snape came out for the first time to make a round: "Can I say something, Dean?" ”

Dumbledore nodded in agreement.

Snape walked between the two and said slowly, "Maybe they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. ”

The obvious bias in favor of Harry made everyone present a little surprised, what happened to Snape today?

Ron and Hermione, in particular, looked at Harry in disbelief.

At this time, Harry also frowned in confusion.

Only Dumbledore and Lu Wu, who knew the inside story, still looked calm.

As if sensing the change in mood, Snape immediately added, "But this situation is indeed suspicious. ”

At the same time, step by step, he slowly approached the three little wizards: "I don't remember, I saw Potter at dinner." ”

The indifferent expression and stern tone made the professors cry out in their hearts, this is what the old-fashioned Snape should be.

Just as Harry didn't know how to answer the old-fashioned professor's question, Lu Wu, who had not spoken, helped explain, "I'm afraid it's all because of me, Professor Snape." ”

"I used to leave an after-school assignment for my kids, and I guess he lost track of time because he had to finish his homework."

Snape suddenly looked back at the mage, his eyes a little complicated.

Harry looked at his teacher with gratitude, and his favorability towards him increased a lot.

Hermione, the little witch, also explained in due course, "That's right, we've been practicing new spells, and many of our classmates were there at the time, and they were able to help prove it. ”

"But, on the way back, Harry told us..."

As an obedient child, Hermione wanted to tell the professors about the strange voice that only Harry could hear, but was interrupted by Harry's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Snape still keenly caught this, and immediately asked, "What do you say, Miss Granger!" ”

Harry didn't want to tell anyone about it, so he snapped, "I said I'm not hungry. ”

Then he quickly changed the subject to the cat: "When we found Lady Loris, we were on our way back to the common room. ”

Snape felt that explanation was enough, but to prevent others from saying that he was looking at Harry, he still feigned suspicion and looked at Dumbledore.

The White Wizard understood what he meant, and made the final conclusion: "Everyone is innocent until proven guilty." ”

After hearing this, the corners of the Potions professor's mouth moved, as if he wanted to laugh, but he forcibly held back.

Harry's crisis seemed to be over, but Filch remained unrelenting.

"My cat is petrified and someone has to be punished!"

He looked even more aggrieved than Harry now, with a bitter face, sobbing and tears in his eyes.

Dumbledore didn't want the dutiful janitor to be too upset, and reassured, "We can cure it, Argus." ”

"As far as I know, Mrs. Sprout grows good mandrakes."

"When mature, it can be used to concoct potions and revive Lady Loris."

Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff and professor of herbology, smiled and nodded at Filch, proving that what the White Wizard said was true.

The janitor was still a little unwilling at this time, but he couldn't do anything about it.

At this moment, Lu Wu suddenly walked out of the crowd and said, "Maybe I can try to save this cat." ”

"What you say is true!" Filch was agitated again.

He has no relatives, no children, and Mrs. Loris is the only spiritual sustenance, how can he not be excited when he hears that someone wants to help with treatment.

"It shouldn't be too much of a problem." The mage replied confidently.

And Dumbledore, who had a clear understanding of the strength of the mage, gave him enough trust.

"Then let Professor Ryze try, with his abilities, he can definitely save this cat."

Lu Wu was not polite, and said to the janitor directly: "Bring your cat and follow me." ”

With that, he turned around and walked in the direction of his office.

Seeing this, Filch immediately hugged Mrs. Loris, who was as hard as a rock, and followed him behind his ass.

Not long after the two had gone, Dumbledore warned the group, "For some time afterward, I remind everyone to be careful. ”

At the same time, he glanced at Harry meaningfully, as if he knew something.

The White Wizard then escorted the group out of the corridor and personally escorted the three Harry back to the common room.

On the other side, Lu Wu also took Filch and his cat to the office.

The janitor hugged Mrs. Loris and looked curiously at the furnishings in the office, trying to figure out the character of the mysterious mage.

"Argus Filch." The mage sat at the table, picked up a quill and played with it.

"Yes, Professor, I'm here." Filch came back to his senses in an instant, bowed down, and replied respectfully.

The mage did not rush to treat the cat, but asked him to put the cat down first.

After Filch placed Mrs. Loris on the table, he continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a Squib, right?" ”
