Chapter 470: The Suspect Who Poisoned Himself

Unaware that he was being passed on as a Slytherin freak by Malfoy, John dived all the way from the Black Lagoon to the place where the big octopus lived.

In the shape of an underwater altar, a large octopus is lying there.

It was as if it hadn't moved since John left, and it had maintained its posture unchanged.

John remembered what had happened to him the last time he used psychic magic, so he cautiously didn't use it this time.

Even though he was already level 6 magic, John could still feel the unusual power of the big octopus.

Maybe it's really an underwater version of Dumbledore.

"Black Lake Elf, if you can understand my language, please talk to me."

John used an extremely ancient language to spread the past underwater, and he transmitted the magic of the mind in one direction, so that he was not afraid of being shocked by the memories of the thousand years.

The big octopus, which was still sleeping, moved when he heard the sound.

It seemed to understand, its tentacles turned, and its big eyes looked at John.

The ancient charm of the big octopus was revealed, and John was overjoyed and really communicated.

Now that you are able to communicate, everything becomes easy to say.

John lowered his posture and conveyed his voice in a modest tone: "Black Lagoon Elf, I am a Hogwarts student, I am looking for your help. ”

The voice entered the big octopus's head, and its tentacles moved, motioning for John to continue.

"I seek ancient blood from your great body." John is also not pretentious, and says his purpose.

"I am the one who keeps the promise, and I can trade to achieve the end."

He stared at the big octopus, wanting to see what conditions this being, who had lived for thousands of years, would propose.

But maybe John was too complicated, or maybe he wasn't proficient enough.

The big octopus shook its tentacles there, digesting it for a while before it understood what John meant.

Hearing that he wanted his own blood, the big octopus handed over a tentacle.

John was stunned, no request?

The large octopus wiggles its tentacles and reveals a pleasant feeling.

It seems to be able to help the students of Hogwarts and make it happy.

These creatures have purer feelings than humans.

And John, dealing with these creatures in a human way, puts his mind at a dead end.

John looked at the big tentacle with a smile on his face.

It's yourself who is narrow-minded.

In a world full of calculations, I forgot this purity.

I didn't expect to come to look for the big octopus, and I was taught a lesson.

Thanking the big octopus again, he was happy to see the big octopus's tentacles swinging, and he was about to start taking blood.

It is also difficult to take blood in the water.

John uses his magic to clear a waterless area, and the big octopus curiously uses another tentacle to pass back and forth.

A bottle of blue liquid was sealed.

"Thank you, honorable Black Lake Elf, please allow me to repay your generosity with a bottle of wine that I brewed myself."

John took out the few stars and opened the tentacles that had fallen on the large octopus.

The golden liquid fell into the tentacles and quickly vanished.

The big octopus is very happy, it loves this thing.

John smiled when he saw this, the stars were made of pure magic, and these magical creatures liked each one very much.

The big octopus was excited for a moment, and John saw that the lake was rapidly turning black.

It's the big octopus inkjet.

It's just that amount that makes John very suspicious that the black of the Black Lake is dyed by a large octopus.

Collecting some ink, John is sent to the surface of the lake by a large octopus.

Stepping on the surface of the lake, the meteor shoes kept John from falling.

He said goodbye to the big octopus.

This time it was a fruitful one.

Let him forget the time underwater and wait until he comes out.

He saw that the sky was already dark. 33

Magically removing the water from his body, John strode towards the castle.

"The big octopus has a lot of vitality, and I think it can continue to live."

John didn't know how long the big octopus could live, just look at the posture and live until he died, which was easy.

And the big octopus is still growing, and that's the most surprising thing.

"It's a lot bigger than it was a thousand years ago."

Looking back at the black lake, John muttered, "Maybe one day, the big octopus will be bigger than this black lake." ”

When he thought of that scene, even John felt more and more terrifying.

What Voldemort, Grindelwald, and the growth and vitality of the giant octopus are the most terrifying.

Back at the castle, John meets Filch.

He was sitting leisurely at the top of the stairs, eating a delicate snack.

However, it doesn't seem to be sold by Duke Honey.

John glanced twice and circled around Filch twice.

Filch muttered uncomfortably, "What are you doing?" ”

"Filch, how fast do you think you can run?" John suddenly asked a question.

Filch was stunned for a moment, and said honestly, "You can reach Gryffindor Tower from here in a minute." ”

"It's too slow," John said, frowning, "and you can't do it at this speed." ”

“?” Filch was full of question marks.

It's already a nightmare for students, is it slow?

"Have you ever heard that speed equals power?"

A gleam flashed in John's eyes, "I think you can be faster." ”

"This speed is just the limit of your shoes, not your limit, you can go faster."

Filch was confused by John.

But he remembered the saying, speed equals power.

In fact, Filch has a very good ability.

That is, his eyesight is very good.

Even if he wears these shoes that can reach flight speeds, he can accurately grasp people without harming each student.

If it weren't for the Squib, maybe Filch would have been a great Seeker.

When Mrs. Loriss saw John, she rubbed around John's trouser legs.

Planting a faster seed for Filch, John heads to the Stars Society.

He wanted to give it a try and put the ink of the big octopus to good use.

This kind of existence that has lived for thousands of years, and any thing on the body has an extraordinary effect.

However, this time he had not yet arrived at the Star Society, and was stopped by someone.

...

School Hospital.

"So he's drunk and that's it?" John looked at Ron, who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, and there were ten thousand doubts in his heart.

Dumbledore stood beside the hospital bed, and Harry glared at John next to Ron.

His best friend is unconscious because of John's wine.

Dumbledore said gently, "I checked the bottle of wine, and there was indeed poison in it. ”

He looked at John with an inquiring look in his eyes and asked, "You gave Slughorn that bottle?" ”

"That's probably it, after all, other wines don't have that kind of mellow." John nodded in acknowledgement.

It's just that his expression without the slightest emptiness made Harry very angry and said, "Why did you poison it! ”

John looked at Harry like an idiot and sighed, "Brainy, Harry." ”

"If I'm going to do it, do you think you need to?"

John said lightly: "It's obvious that someone else did something in the wine." ”

"yes, who but you're going to touch that bottle of wine?" Harry said.

"That's where Professor Slughorn comes in," John casually said, "and many people can meet it." ”

"The most important point."

John glanced at Ron, who was in a coma, and said confidently and easily, "Do you think it would be that simple for me to poison?" ”

Two drops of jade potion were saved, and John was not so low-end.

As angry as Harry was, his sanity told himself that John was right.

There was an emerald potion in Slughorn's office, and if John wanted to poison it, he wouldn't have left the antidote there.

It's just that Ron is very unlucky, he drank the antidote in advance, and then drank the poisoned wine.

Dumbledore didn't seem to think it was John's doing, he acted calm and wise, and said to John, "Then there is only one possibility, someone has entered Horace's office and poisoned your wine." ”

"Let's think about it, who has been in and out of Horace's office lately?" Dumbledore said.

John said calmly, "I haven't been in since Christmas. ”

"Professor Slughorn is going to have a slug party, maybe there's a good way to start."

This poisoning made John feel a familiar handiwork.

Just like the attack on the Weasleys, they all seem to want to make a big deal.

Assuming that the other side succeeds, Slughorn dies.

Then the whole magical society will be in an uproar.

At the same time, as the wine deliverer, John will also be the first object of suspicion.

"Kill two birds with one stone."

It's not hard to guess who's behind this.

The difficulty is to screen out the poisoners in the slug club after Christmas.

"Is it a ghost again, Tom, can't you play something new?"

John felt compelled to talk to Slughorn about who he had recently invited to his after-dinner class.

"I can first rule out four people, Draco, Daphne, Astoria, Neville."

The people he said were all members of the Star Society, which made Harry unconvinced: "Then I can also rule out Ginny and Hermione's suspicions." ”

"No, you can't." John said lightly, "Because they're not immune to the Imperius Curse." ”

Harry Stopper.

...

Some people died, but not completely......
