Chapter 90: The First Attack
Tifa had only been at Hogwarts for a month, and he didn't know that there was a secret passage, so he had to go down from the eighth floor to the Great Hall.
Dumbledore followed, not thinking of taking them through the secret passage.
When Tifa and Luna ran to the third floor, they saw a bunch of young wizards gathered here.
The most eye-catching thing is that the wall "The secret room has been opened, and those who are enemies with the heir are wary." "Next is Lady Loris, who hangs from the lampstand.
Normal people gasp when they see this scene, but Nicks is relieved to see the scene, he is afraid that the two of them will encounter a wandering basilisk when they go downstairs, and it is okay to be petrified, but if you look directly into the eyes, you will die. Now the basilisk is probably back in the nest.
Harry was protected behind by Professors McGonagall and Snape, and in front of them was a frenzied Filch.
Filch pointed his wand at Harry, condensed the ice spear in his other hand, surrounded several black fires, and roared loudly, "Professor, get out of the way, he killed my cat." I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill them. ”
Snape's wand wasn't pointed at Filch. Persuaded: "Calm down, they are just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and your cat may not have been killed by them." ”
"If you get out of the way now, we're still friends." Filch Road.
Snape released a piece of armor and continued, "You can't kill people at Hogwarts, you'll go to Azkaban. ”
"Then they can kill my cat?" Filch is sad, and his voice is delicate and weak, giving a feeling of heartbreak.
When he saw Nyx arrive, he turned his wand and shouted, "You're an accomplice, aren't you?" You had a premeditated plan, didn't you? I see, you're in charge of luring me away, and they're in charge of doing it. ”
Just as Filch was ready to make his move. Dumbledore arrived: "Argus, put down your wand." ”
The Knicks were relieved, he was too close for him to be confident of escaping Filch's curse, not to mention the Ice Spear and Black Fire.
Dumbledore untied Lady Loris from the lampstand and said, "Come with me, Argus, and you, Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley. ”
Filch put away his wand to disperse the ice gun and black fire, and said in a louder voice, "And Lestrange, and his sister." Well, and Granger, and that little girl, what's Lovegood, right? Her family is crazy too! ”
Lockhart suggested, "You can go to my office, it's upstairs ......"
"Thank you, Gildero." Dumbledore interrupted his rambling. "As for Lestrange, you can go back."
Back in the break room, the Knicks asked the twins, "What happened?" ”
George and Fred, you and I answered one by one.
"You see it."
"Someone killed Filch's cat."
"And hang it on the wall."
And wrote that sentence.
"Be honest with us."
"Did you really do it?"
Nix denied, "Of course not, I was just with Headmaster Dumbledore. ”
"But Filch says you're in charge of getting her attention."
"Harry and Ron are in charge."
"You weren't in the auditorium at dinner."
Tifa defended: "It wasn't my brother who did it, my brother became a whine." ”
Nicks covered Tifa's mouth and asked with a smile, "The dinner is over?" The Skull Dance is gone? ”
"Of course it's over."
"How long has it been?"
"You really should have seen it."
"Skull Dance is beautiful."
Tifa broke Knicks' hands and asked, "Will they come back in the future?" ”
The twins said together, "I don't know." ”
Back in the break room, the Knicks face another round of questioning, and Neville, Seamus, and Dean are all interested in it.
The Knicks told everyone they weren't doing it.
On the other side, in Lockhart's office, Dumbledore was researching Lady Loris.
Filch sat on the couch, crying softly and complainingly, a voice that made Professor McGonagall look sideways, stunned Lockhart, and upset Snape.
Snape is also wondering if Harry and the Knicks have really been tricked and tricked away from the mountain.
He asked Harry, "Why didn't I see you at the dinner?" ”
"We're going to the death party that Nick has headless, and the ghosts can testify." Harry replied.
"Nick Lestrange went with you?" Snape asked again.
Ron immediately replied, "No, we don't know where he went." "He wanted to pit the Knicks.
Harry was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything, he wanted to lie that the Knicks were with them, but Ron didn't say anything when he spoke first.
Dumbledore said, "Lestrange was with me, and he showed great transfiguration. ”
Professor McGonagall thinks that Nyx's Transfiguration is a mess, and that this is an excuse for you.
Then I thought that the Knicks had been looking for her to learn Animagus, and tonight it happened to be a storm, could it be that the Knicks held the Animagus ceremony? Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore, but fortunately he was discovered by the Headmaster, otherwise she would not be surprised that Nicks's magical skills would have turned into a tree.
Snape also suspected Dumbledore of exculpating the Knicks.
Harry and Ron are not suspicious, they are sure that Dumbledore exonerates the Knicks, what they don't understand is that the Knicks' Transfiguration is recognized as bad, and Dumbledore can't use this if he makes excuses for the Knicks.
Dumbledore checked on Lady Loris and said, "Argus, don't cry, your cat isn't dead." ”
"Then why is this happening, it's all stiff."
"It's petrified." Dumbledore explained.
Filch turned to Harry again. "Why are you doing that?"
"I didn't do it." Harry retorted.
Dumbledore spoke again: "Argus, they didn't do it, the little wizard in the second year can't do it, it's very deep black magic." ”
Filch didn't listen at all, she stared at Harry and said, "My cat was petrified by you, and you will be punished." ”
"Argus, calm down, your cat will be fine, Professor Sprout got the mandrake, when it's ripe, we can configure a strong recovery ......" Dumbledore stopped suddenly, he remembered that he had a bottle of powerful recovery potion in his hand, which was given to him by Nix in the Room of Requirement.
Lockhart interjected: "I'll configure, I've configured ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Dumbledore take out a red bottle of potion.
Snape frowned, "You're going to use this?" ”
"It can't get any worse." Dumbledore said.
Half a bottle of potion was given to Lady Loris, and Lady Loris's recovery, Snape found that the potion was more effective than he had thought.
Filch took a few steps forward in surprise and took Lady Loris in her arms.
Dumbledore put away the rest of the potion: "Okay, let's go back, the matter is settled." ”
Several professors left with different expressions.
