The water surface that has been stirred up by waves is calm again. The four people standing on the shore did not say a word, and stood there silently, like four delicate sculptures.

Professor McGonagall felt that things were sudden, so sudden that she didn't even react, and she believed everyone was too. They didn't see how the other person connected to the thing.

"That's a giant squid. Why would it help an outsider? ”

Hagrid's brows furrowed, his eyes full of confusion, he didn't understand the sudden scene in front of him, a person who was causing trouble in Hogwarts, actually escaped from the hands of their group of Hogwarts staff with the help of the power of creatures who had lived in Hogwarts for a long time. Is this really Hogwarts?

For the first time in his life, Hagrid was suspicious of the safety of Hogwarts.

But the idea was only for a moment. Soon, he regained his faith in Hogwarts. Because Dumbledore was still there. As long as Dumbledore was in front of him, it was just a small thing.

Snape heard Hagrid's words, in fact, according to his character, he was very disdainful of a guy like Hagrid. But he couldn't stand Hagrid's control of the forbidden forest, and the two of them often dealt with each other, even if they deliberately avoided it, the relationship between the two people was far from bad.

"Who knows...... Maybe it's because the other party isn't an outsider. ”

Snape said coldly, with malice.

"It can't be!" Hagrid glared, looked at Snape, and said in shock, "Professor, you're kidding!" Such a person could be someone from within the school? ”

"This level of strength, are you going to say it's Filius, or Pomona. Or maybe it's just Dumbledore? ”

Professor McGonagall looked at Snape and shook her head, "There's a limit to malicious speculation, Severus. ”

Snape didn't argue with Professor McGonagall anymore. He didn't look at anyone, just snorted, then flicked his cloak, turned and walked in the direction of the castle.

"Where are you going?" Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, then shouted.

"Sleep, I'm sleepy...... Really...... A farce. ”

The displeasure in his tone was barely hidden. This inexplicable attitude made both Professor McGonagall and Hagrid a little strange. However, they also know very well that at this time, even if they really want to find any clues, it will be too late.

"Anyway, let's keep looking. Maybe there's something missing. ”

Quirrell still used that timid voice, but the expression on his face was much more confident. Professor McGonagall gave him a deep look after hearing his words, and then said, "Professor Quirrell, you still have to give us an explanation when you suddenly appeared in the Forbidden Forest today. ”

After saying that, she ignored Quirrell, who was about to defend herself, and turned to Hagrid and said, "Excuse me, Hagrid." Investigate and secure the site. I'm going to investigate the giant squid on the Black Lake now, and maybe I'll find something. ”

"I will, professor, but the traces left by the other party should have been removed......" Hagrid shook his head helplessly, this kind of guy, leaving traces when he was doing eucalyptus, the possibility is not high, after all, for many people, the elimination of these traces is just a spell.

"And Professor, go back and rest. The effect of finding giant squid is not good, and it is of little significance. That guy was originally mysterious. ”

Hagrid told the truth that he had been curious about the giant squid back then, but he had never had a chance to get close to studying the other party. But even so, he has roughly sorted out some characteristics of the giant squid. So he knew very well that now it was pointless to look for it on the surface or underwater. It doesn't look like a magical beast, but it's actually one of the most mysterious legends in all of Hogwarts.

Professor McGonagall shook her head, "This is not the time to rest. With that, he got on his broom and flew towards the middle of the black lake, where the giant squid had disappeared.

Hagrid looked at the professor's back, raised his hand, and finally put it down. Such a block is equally pointless.

"Professor Quirrell, I'll go back and take a look at the scene first. And take care of the unicorns' emotions. ”

With that, Hagrid hurried out of the place. Noting Quirrell's whereabouts, he was now more concerned about the frightened and dead unicorns in the forest. It's a dragon egg in your own hut. It is a clue that may remain at the scene.

Quirrell looked at Hagrid's back as he left, and a vague smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it was instantly retracted, and then he silently walked back in the direction of the castle.

"Master, our plan, this is a success?"

Quirrell asked, puzzled.

He really didn't understand that the other party was also sowing discord, and even several people present had some doubts about themselves, and it seemed that his situation was worse now than before, but Voldemort said that their plan was perfectly completed.

"They have no evidence." Voldemort's feeble voice was tinged with contempt and mockery, "They need proof for everything, and now, all the evidence points to that man as a wicked man, so how many people doubt that we have no effect on us for the time being." ”

Voldemort's tone was smug, "Our plan itself is in its final step. Now it is enough for them to have no hard evidence for a while. And now, even if they wanted to investigate, they couldn't focus on us. ”

"What if the other party is tied up?"

Quirrell asked what he was most curious about. He really couldn't understand why Voldemort was able to confirm that the other party was the same as them, and they were all people who were on the opposite side of Hogwarts. If the other party is restrained and identifies, then I am afraid that they will be on the spot.

"Tied up? Huh......" Voldemort sneered in Quirrell's mind, and said, "If he could really be restrained, then he wouldn't have brought so much to cover his breath." ”

"Even if you don't have a grudge against the people of Hogwarts, you still uphold your distrust of Hogwarts. And after today's round-up of him, I am even more convinced of the answer to this question. ”

"If he didn't really have a ghost in his heart, how could he not have just named us."

Quirrell listened to Voldemort's triumphant and arrogant laughter in his head, and although he was still puzzled, he still relaxed a lot. He had clearly sensed that Snape had his eyes on him. If you don't act as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the other party will find an opportunity to test yourself.

Now, no matter how bad it is, it can divert Snape's attention a little. Who is his enemy? I'm afraid that Snape is also wondering now.

"Severus doesn't trust anyone. When this person really appears, he will not believe that you are innocent, nor will he just believe that the other person is the murderer. But when he does find out the truth, our plan will be successful. ”

Voldemort muttered in Quirrell's head with pity, and the next moment, he shouted again, "Quirrell! How much less are we left for potions? ”

"A piece of blood, master, just drink the blood of another unicorn, and the potion in your body will be fully activated. Your strength can also be reflected in me. ”

At this, Quirrell's tone was tinged with anticipation. Voldemort's power, this is something that many people dream of. Now he has a chance to touch it, too.

"Very good, Quirrell, when I get the Philosopher's Stone and reshape my body, I will give you stronger strength, and when the time comes, whatever you want, it doesn't matter, with power, you have everything!"

Quirrell heard this, and his mind came back to him. He thought of the ridicule he had encountered when he was teaching, of the nest he had just stepped into the wizarding world, and even of the bullying and contempt he had received at school.

If you have the strength, then these things can be returned! You can get revenge back!

This is the ...... of the strong Privilege!

Feeling Quirrell's spirits visibly lifted a lot, a smile appeared on Voldemort's face on the back of his head.

No problem, of course no problem, then Quirrell will merge with him, and his power will be Quirrell's power. Of course, Quirrell's body is his body!

They will be one and will not be separated from one another.

So, he's not cheating, is he...... However, even the name of the fraudster seems to be a compliment!

At this time, in the Black Lake, Luke felt that his life was out of his control......

The cold water of the lake enveloped his whole body, and if it weren't for the snake-like strengthened body, he was still maintained, and even his breath-holding was many times stronger than before. I'm afraid I'm about to run out of oxygen now.

In front of me, there were black shadows. Some look like aquatic plants, some look like living things.

In the distance, Luke seemed to see the shadow of the horse-shaped water monster, but he didn't have the heart to study it now...... All you can do is slap the giant squid's wrists and feet desperately, and then make it stop.

His ability to control his emotions and try to call the giant squid was a big gamble, and if he didn't succeed, he would have to use plan B. But the price of planB is too great, and he doesn't want to do it.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

And the moment he noticed the giant squid approaching, he felt that his mind seemed to be able to complete communication with the giant squid. So he excitedly gave the order to the giant squid, telling him to take him into the Black Lake and send him to the edge of the castle.

But what he didn't expect was that the giant squid's movements were so rough, and now he finally noticed something wrong in the communication. He was able to convey his thoughts to the Squid, but the Squid didn't seem willing to convey his thoughts to Luke.

As a result, Luke is really a little confused about the giant squid's thoughts now.

Finally, under Luke's vigorous slapping, the speed of the giant squid gradually slowed down, and Luke took this opportunity to quickly draw his wand and put a bubble head charm on himself.

I couldn't even grab a wand because of the high-speed movement before, but I was unlucky enough to practice the bubble head spell to the level of casting spells without a wand.

I almost suffered a big loss. In the water bubbles, Luke inhaled hard. And then without saying a word, he lifted his own snake.

Can't open it anymore. The magic of the snake has a great impact on the body, and if he continues to open it, it will be difficult to say whether he will be able to hide it from others tomorrow.

Once you can't hide it, then so much waste today will still be useless after all.

Fortunately, it's finally coming to an end.

The giant squid stopped diving, but didn't stop moving, apparently at what he thought was a safer depth.

Luke's sense of direction in the water appeared in the lake, and he could only believe that the giant squid would not trap him, and of course, the tip of his wand kept pointing at the giant squid. Once the other party gets out of control, then Luke will not hesitate.

But, fortunately, it didn't take long for Luke to feel himself floating, and a moment later, he was on the surface. Poking the bubbles with his wand, Luke greedily gulps in the fresh air.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This time, he was overlooked, or rather, underestimated the enemy, which led to his own danger. This problem must be fixed. And this grudge, he will also write it down in a solid notebook, and it will definitely make someone pay the price......

And the next moment, Luke's eyes were occupied by a large black eyeball.

Luke was startled, but fortunately came to his senses quickly.

"Hello?"

Luke tentatively opened his mouth and communicated with the giant squid. But in that eye, he didn't see the slightest mood swing, as if none of them were supposed to exist.

The giant squid stared at Luke for nearly a minute. Luke felt a little dry and was about to blink when the giant squid plunged back into the water again.

Luke resisted the urge to exclaim and put a bubble spell on himself again.

This time the time underwater was shorter, and before Luke could react, he realized that he had been pushed to the shore by his brachiopod. After climbing ashore to the shore, Luke immediately turned to check the giant squid's tracks. But at this time, only a little ripple remained on the surface of the water, and the giant squid had disappeared without a trace.

Luke looked at the place where the giant squid disappeared and remained silent for a long time, even if there was such contact, he still did not know the origin and secret of the giant squid. But there is no doubt that the other party has something to do with Gryffindor......

We have to investigate slowly, and this is not urgent.

He told himself.

Luke looked at the castle not far away, and without hesitation, took out another bottle of potion from his system space, and drank it all in one gulp. His size also began to shrink, gradually returning to the shape of an 11-year-old child. The clothes on his body were also put into the system space at once. After using his magic to dry his body, he took out another outfit to change into.

In the end, he cast a disillusionment spell on himself, and finally completed the whole process. The action is fast, so it doesn't take too long.

After taking a deep breath, Luke walked towards the castle. He knew that now, this matter was not completely over.
