Chapter 35: Suspicion

Word soon spread about the top floor of the Astronomy Tower in Hogwarts.

There are only a few hundred people in the school, and the speed at which the news spreads is so fast that people are caught off guard.

"Did you know that Norlin Davis blasted Walker Caro into the sky yesterday!"

"Did you know that Norin Davis almost killed Walker Caro yesterday!"

"Did you know that Norlin Davis killed Walker Caro yesterday!"

Norlin: ?

It was already the last version that reached his ears, and when the twins ran over to ask with a grin, he opened his mouth, and was a little speechless for a while.

"Well done!"

George patted Norlin on the shoulder, a look of appreciation, "The Slytherin people can't get used to them, we heard about yesterday's incident for the first time." ”

"Or we can quietly throw them a egg or something." Fred whispered into Nolin's ear.

George's eyes lit up, and he was visibly impressed by the proposal.

Norlin's hand as he reached for a plate of fried chicken paused, and he felt the people at the Slytherin table not far away glaring at him.

When did the Snake Courtyard, which has always been arrogant, suffer from this kind of anger, many people are gearing up, obviously with bad intentions towards Norin. Of course, there are also some witty little snakes who hang high and watch from the sidelines.

"Next time, if this situation is still in this situation, should we do it or continue to do it."

Zhang Qiu on the side also joined the topic, "I was too far away last night, otherwise I would definitely help you teach him a lesson." It's too much. ”

Zhang Qiu waved his fist with a look of indignation.

Although Ravenclaw was deducted twenty points for Nolin, no one had any opinion. Instead, they all applauded Nolin's actions.

Norin laughed and said to the twins, "If you really want to do this, you will probably have to go with me to Snape Lockdown." ”

Fred shuddered and exaggeratedly said, "You're not really going to the old bat's confinement, are you?" When will he have the final say? ”

"I hope he won't embarrass me too much." Norlin smiled wryly, holding out little hope.

Outside the window of the auditorium, as usual, there was a dark shadow, and hundreds of owls flapped their wings and flew into the house.

Norlin looked up, and Hua Luo landed lightly on his shoulder, holding a slender package in his mouth.

"Looks like today's newspaper has arrived."

Norlin spoke, picking up a dried fish. Hua Luo swallowed it in one gulp, rubbing Nolin's face affectionately.

Norlin unwrapped the package and pulled out the Daily Prophet. He had a habit of subscribing to newspapers for a long time, mainly to broaden his horizons and learn more about the wizarding world.

"Did anything happen?"

Zhang Qiu asked very ladylike as she stuffed her fries into her mouth.

"I'll see." Norin flipped through the newspaper casually, glancing at things he wasn't interested in, such as where the weird sisters were holding concerts, and where Muggles in London were suspected of finding traces of magic.

"Hmm...... Lockhart has a new book? Norin came to his senses slightly.

"That famous adventurer and writer!" Zhang Qiu obviously has a great affection for Lockhart.

Nolin, who knew what kind of virtue Lockhart was, chuckled and didn't make an evaluation, but the twins pouted.

George said with a speechless face:

"My mom adores Lockhart. This time I have to spend money on his new books, and his books are so expensive. ”

"Where's the price! Each one is his great adventure! This in itself is immeasurable! ”

Zhang Qiu raised his eyebrows and argued with the twins.

"The new Minister of Magic has a new move...... Unknown people have recently appeared in Hogsmeade Village, suspected of being dangerous...... Hogwarts ...... Well? ”

Norin suddenly looked at the twins with a twinkle in his eyes and asked, "Who was the last Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher?" ”

The twins, who were arguing fiercely with Zhang Qiu, were stunned, Fred scratched his head, and said in retrospect:

"Professor Cook Alger. He passed away unexpectedly last summer. ”

"What's wrong?"

George poked his head out, and Norlin leaned sideways to deliver the newspaper to him, with a bold headline: "The death of the former Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts professor may be hidden!" 》

"Ah, this ......," said George, opening his mouth in shock, "during the summer vacation, Dumbledore suddenly announced the death of Professor Alger, and was blown up by a powerful magic prop while he was outing...... It's not that simple! ”

"It is reported that Cook Alger, the last professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, died unexpectedly in 1989, and Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore claimed that he died in an alchemy accident, but at present, the death of this outstanding professor does not seem so simple."

Ms. Rosmerta, the manager of the Three Broomsticks Bar in Hogsmeade, said she had seen Professor Alger drinking at the bar the day before he died, looking anxious; Professor Alger's friend, Auror Anderson Burris of the Ministry of Magic, also reported that he was starting to get nervous. ”

"Whether the truth is true to what Headmaster Albus Dumbledore said is in doubt, and the Ministry of Magic will continue to investigate."

There were a lot of doubts in the middle, and Norlin read them one by one. His heart moved, and he asked:

"How did Professor Krell get to work at the school?"

"I know!" Smith, who was enjoying his meal, raised his head, wiped a handful of breadcrumbs from his mouth, and said, "It seems that he recommended himself." He knew Dumbledore and was a bounty hunter, so he had no problem deciding on strength. Dumbledore agreed. ”

Norin rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

Until the twins' curious voices broke the silence: "Does this have anything to do with us?" ”

"That's right." Smith patted his head, "Anyway, the Defence Against the Dark Arts course is very evil, and each professor has been on the job for no more than a year. Let's hope Professor Krell is okay this year, he looks fine. ”

Norin thought back to Professor Krell and the three Dark Cultists he had met in Hogsmeade, and secretly speculated about their relationship.

"The first class of the afternoon is Defence Against the Dark Arts class." Zhang Qiu reminded.

"Let's go back when you're done. Rest well. Seeing that everyone had finished their lunch, Norin stood up and spoke.

After returning to the dormitory, he lay on the bed for a while, thought about it, and took out the book in the cupboard, which was the nameless book that Ravenclaw had given him.

In order to avoid being discovered by Smith, Norlin casts a blind spell on the book, which looks like a normal book.

He had tentatively opened it once since he came out of the Ravenclaw room, and the slightest mental disturbance that Ravenclaw had ever sealed almost stuned him.

Since then, every day, he has been unwilling to reopen, adapting again and again, and finally, last night, he was able to initially resist the rippled mental fluctuations.

He opened the book with a little anticipation.
