Chapter 197: Abnormality
The auditorium was full of people.
The entire size of the Great Hall resembles a lecture theatre in a Muggle world, except that it is larger and deeper, and can accommodate more people.
The auditorium is generally not open to the public, the location is remote, and it is inaccessible on weekdays, and the average number of times it is used no more than three times a year.
After receiving the orders of the prefects, the students of the whole school quickly came to the auditorium very obediently, and waited restlessly.
The professors did not hide the news of the deaths of the six students, and they could not hide it, and the students talked about it in the auditorium, and the fear was further amplified.
Many of the students who died were acquainted with them, and they couldn't understand why someone they had been with for a few years suddenly died mysteriously.
Fortunately, humans are social creatures. All the students were gathered in the auditorium, and as the number of people increased, the timidity in their hearts gradually subsided.
Jasmine and her roommate stood in the crowd, a little confused. She was in the dormitory to make up for her magical history, but was told by the prefect to assemble in the Great Hall. She had heard the shocking news on her way to the auditorium.
She had always thought that the school was sacred and supreme, and that death was a far cry from the school.
"If someone dies...... What will the school do? ”
Jasmine's heart suddenly swelled up with a wave of panic, and she asked her roommate in a low voice.
"I don't know. Classes may be closed. ”
The roommate didn't act much better than her, and pretended to be calm.
Jasmine froze in place, not knowing what to do for a while. If schools are closed, where will she be able to go back to England and continue to live in those ghettos?
Their conversation was just a corner of the auditorium. As soon as Norin entered the auditorium, he heard several people shouting with an explosive mentality:
"The school is too dangerous, I'm going to drop out!"
"Even Leslie is dead...... He's the first in his grade......"
Norin frowned slightly, and a streamer suddenly burst from the ceiling of the auditorium, followed by a loud bang that caught everyone's attention.
Meredith raised his wand in his right hand, looked around the auditorium with cold eyes, and said in a loud voice:
"Calm down. Have a companion leave us forever, and here you are afraid, panicked, and at a loss? When did Durmstrang teach you this? ”
Meredith's prestige was still very high, and many people quieted down and listened to her speech.
"What we should do now is to find out the murderer of my classmates, instead of messing around here and leaving it in a mess. Our purpose in school is to learn to face the current situation. ”
"Tell me, Leslie, are you willing to die for nothing?"
"Unwilling!"
In the auditorium, which had suddenly fallen silent, a girl's scream suddenly sounded. Leslie's girlfriend wiped a handful of tears from her eyes, her eyes glistening with bitter hatred.
Some other students who were close to the deceased were also angry in her hearts, and gradually, the tense and terrifying atmosphere was suppressed a lot, and the whole auditorium seemed to have an invisible flame beating.
Meredith, Cecil Howard, and Oliar Sturusson each stood at the front of the crowd in their house, and Norlin realized that Oliel Sturusson was the prefect of Engeria.
"Pretty capable."
Norlin walked over to her and whispered.
"My grandfather was the first to walk through Durmstrang in that war-torn era, giving Durmstrang a new lease of life."
Meredith glanced at him and said lightly, "Now that the school is in a major crisis again, I don't want him to disappoint me. ”
Norin nodded silently, this girl usually does not smile, but she is full of the deepest love for Durmstrang.
The professors had already stepped up to the high platform of the auditorium and looked down at the students below. Professor Norman made a downward motion with his left hand, and the sound in the auditorium plummeted several levels. He took out his wand in his right hand, and a faint light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a loud voice:
"I'm sure you know what's going on. It was the worst thing that had happened to Durmstrang in decades. Prior to this, there had never been a fatality in the school. This is a provocation by the murderer to us Durmstrang. If we mess up, the murderer hiding in the corner will definitely laugh at us. ”
"After the professors' investigation, it can be determined that the murderer is mixed with you."
As soon as Professor Norman said this, the students in the audience were in an uproar, and their faces were full of disbelief.
"Among us? How could it be ......"
Many students shouted on the spot, and even Cecil Howard and others thought for a moment that they had misheard.
"That's right, what we have to do now is to find him out and give an explanation to the parents of the deceased."
Professor Norman continued, his old beard hanging down his chest, "Now, take out your wands. ”
Cecil Howard was the first to do so. As a prefect, he has always carried out the orders of his professors with unmistakable accuracy. Although he didn't understand the meaning yet, his body's instincts had driven him to act.
Meredith hesitated, but pulled out her wand. Nolin, who was standing beside her, noticed that the wand in her hand was made of aspen wood.
The other students were equally skeptical, but Durmstrang's long-standing school spirit made them obediently pull out their wands.
The professors were now in all corners of the auditorium, their sharp eyes staring at the middle of the crowd, and the few outstanding students were the target of their attention.
Professor Norman nodded in satisfaction, raised his wand in his hand, closed his eyes, and muttered a word.
The next moment, a frighteningly large white beam of light erupted from his wand, turning into countless tiny rays of light that wrapped around the tips of the wands held by all the students.
Except for Nolin.
Norin clasped his hands to his chest and his eyes narrowed slightly, watching as different spells appeared in the students' wands. At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart that Professor Norman was really powerful, and he was able to apply the flashback pre-spell to every student in the auditorium at once.
There was a commotion among the students, most of whom didn't know the magic of the flashback spell and didn't understand the significance of Professor Norman's move.
The professors' expressions became more serious, carefully observing the crowd for any green light.
However, to their disappointment, although there was a green light, it was not the light of Avadaso's Spell.
"You don't have to?"
Meredith asked softly.
"I've been checked."
Norin said nonchalantly, his gaze casually swept across the auditorium, but he was stunned for a moment.
In the six corners of the auditorium, a thin pillar of light appeared at the same time.
Norlin felt a creep for no apparent reason.
