“what happened!”
“Smith? Where was he petrified?”
After a brief silence, the rest room exploded. Just now they were saying that the attack had happened once, and it was coming soon.
Cedric’s face turned red, and everyone else was talking about it. The little badger head who came back to report the news I’m all dizzy and don’t know which question to answer first.
“All quiet!”
In the end, Wayne stood up and shouted loudly before suppressing everyone’s voices.
Then he comforted the little wizard who reported the news:
“Don’t be nervous, I remember your name is Clark, right? Just tell me what you know.”
Clark looked at Wayne with admiration. The two had never spoken, but Wayne could accurately call them by their names, which made him flattered.
“Just at the door of the library, Smith fell to the ground. Professor Dumbledore, Professor Snape, and Professor McGonagall were all there. I didn’t dare to get close.”
Clark told all the information he knew.
It happened that Tewore and others also came back with food. After listening, he suggested with a serious face:”Let’s go and take a look.”
All the little badgers nodded and were about to go out, but were stopped by Wayne.
“It’s not okay if too many people go there, it will affect the professors. In this way, five people from one grade will come with me.”
“OK.”Several prefects nodded, and soon, more than thirty people were selected and followed Wayne out of the lounge in a mighty manner.
Justin Finch-Leary and Ernie McMillan Smith’s roommates all followed.
When they went up the stairs, Wayne was still complaining in his heart.
Is this a special welcome ceremony that Tom knew he was coming back?
It should be just a coincidence, he showed up before his ass was hot. The attack was too fast.
And Snape didn’t tell anyone about his decision to come back early, otherwise Hagrid wouldn’t be so surprised.
“”Zero Zero Three” At the same time, other students also got the news and rushed towards the library.
However, the large group of people who encountered Hufflepuff all avoided it, especially after seeing the leader Wayne, those who Slytherin, who came over happily to watch the excitement, even changed his expression.
“Lawrence is back too?”
“Nonsense, Russell is back, how can Lawrence not come back?”
“Hurry up and stay away, don’t block their way.”A little snake quickly pulled his friend away and opened a passage for the Hufflepuff students. He looked aggrieved and dared not speak out.
Lawrence is back, and it’s time for them to pick up their snake tails and become human beings again..
Students from other colleges were also separated by this flow of people.
“Too arrogant.” The little wizard with Gryffindor muttered unconvincedly.
Hufflepuff with Lawrence and Hufflepuff without Lawrence are completely different houses. Their momentum has completely changed, and they are more ferocious than a lion.
At the door of the library In the wide corridor, Dumbledore and several professors were gathered together. Harry stood helplessly behind Dumbledore.
There were many young wizards around, leaning on both sides of the corridor.
Hearing rapid footsteps, many When people turned around, they saw Wayne coming to the scene with a large group of people.
The professors also noticed, and Professor Sprout forced a smile:”Wayne, you are back. Congratulations on winning the first place in the competition. name”
“Dean.”Wayne nodded and said hello to several other professors.
“Mr. Lawrence, come and take a look too.”Dumbledore stepped aside.
Wayne walked over unceremoniously and saw Zachary Smith.
At this time, Smith’s body was stiff, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of horror, as if he had seen something. An extremely scary thing.
Wayne stretched out his hand and put it on the tip of his nose, but he didn’t even feel the sniffing.
If his body wasn’t still warm, people would have thought Smith was dead.
“Any thoughts?”Dumbledore’s expression was calm, but people could feel that he was angry.
“Petrification magic, hungry and very fast. His eyes opened to the maximum, indicating that he was fixed the moment he saw the murderer.”
“Very accurate judgment. Dumbledore nodded, and then asked:”Do you have any solution, Mr. Lawrence?””
“Albus…”Professor McGonagall looked at him in surprise.
Flitwick and Sprout were also confused.
What even us deans and you, the principal, can’t do, you actually ask a student for help?
Only Wayne knew that Dumbledore was referring to Phoenix King
“Professor, I can only try.”
The young man snapped his fingers, and Phoenix King flew out from a ball of fire, happily circling around his owner. She had not seen Wayne for more than a month.
Dumbledore did not rush, waiting for Phoenix King’s arrival. Action.
After playing around with Wayne for a while, Phoenix King reluctantly flew up and sprinkled sacred flames on Smith.
Balls of flames integrated into his body, but the petrified state did not change at all.
“Did it fail?”The people watching sighed.
“This is not black magic or a curse, and Phoenix King can’t help Te. Wayne was not surprised at all:”We can only wait for the resurrection potion.””
Having said this, Wayne looked at Sprout:”Dean, have you found out who destroyed the mature mandrake?”
“No need to check.” Sprout said a little depressed:”It was Slytherin’s Blaise Zabini who took the initiative to admit his mistake.”
“Um?”Ven raised his eyebrows and looked at Snape who was also surprised.
At that time, Snape told him that someone had deliberately sabotaged it.
Looking at the confused looks of the two people, Dumbledore explained:”At first we thought it was Someone deliberately sabotaged it, but two days later, Zabini came to Pomona to apologize.”
“He accidentally breaks the flowerpot and suffocates the mandrake.”
Is it really such a coincidence?
Wayne didn’t believe it anyway, but he didn’t say much, and instead looked at Snape, whose veins were pulsing.
“Professor, the students in your college got into big trouble. Isn’t there some punishment?”
He glared at Wayne fiercely, but Snape still said:
“Slytherin will deduct 20 points. Starting tomorrow, Zabini will be in confinement for a week!”
“That’s okay.”Wayne smacked his lips and asked casually:”Are there any other clues?”
Swish!
Almost half of the little wizards in the audience looked at Harry, who was desperately trying to reduce his presence.
The savior was His face turned pale with fright:”It’s not me, I was just the first one to arrive at the scene. I just came out of Professor Lockhart’s classroom.”
“What are you doing to find him?”Snape asked standing in the shadows.
“Me, I failed in my last assignment. Harry blushed:”Professor Lockhart asked me to rewrite it. He can testify for me.””
“Hum hum…”Snape sneered unintelligibly
“Did Lockhart fail even his homework? What a rare genius”
“Severus, this is not the time to discuss student learning.”Dumbledore just glanced briefly and made Snape quiet.
Then he looked at Harry
“Harry, you were the first to arrive at the scene. Did you find anything?”
“I…”Harry’s heart was beating wildly:”I heard a very strange sound, and I followed the sound.”
“Lockhart’s office is on the third floor, and if you can hear it, then so can many other students. Mag quickly analyzed and looked at the little wizards around him:”Have any of you heard any strange sounds?””
No one stood on Harry’s side, they all shook their heads.
“professor…”Malfoy sneaked up to Snape and showed a wicked smile.
“Maybe these were all made up by Porter, who had a conflict with Smith not long ago.”
Malfoy didn’t lower his voice deliberately, and the students who were close heard it clearly.
Then their eyes changed when they looked at Harry, and some even took two steps back to distance themselves.
Justin Finch-Fletchley, and The other little badgers were also unkind and wary.
Although Smith was now hated by everyone within Hufflepuff, even Finch-Fletchley and MacMillan, who were roommates, were too lazy to talk to him.
But no matter what, this is still a Hufflepuff.
“What are you in a hurry for? Just wait.”
Wein raised his hand, and almost all the little badgers present withdrew their hostility and just stood there quietly.
Sprout was amazed by this.
Even if she came forward, she couldn’t do it to the extent of Wein. It’s an exaggeration to say that orders and prohibitions are forbidden, but Wayne’s prestige among students has really surpassed him.
Snape even gave Dumbledore a signal with his eyes frantically, and his eyes were tired of blinking. (To read the novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Look at him, look at him quickly!
The Dark Lord was not so outrageous back then. If we wait for Wayne to graduate in a few years, let’s not call him Hufflepuff, just call it Lawrence College. Damn it!
What made Snape almost scold him was that Dumbledore not only said nothing, but actually laughed.
Old Deng felt that Wayne did the right thing and was not swayed by the will of the masses and maintained his own judgment
“Harry, don’t be nervous. Let’s talk about what’s going on between you and Smith first.”
Wayne glanced outside. While they were stuck here, many young wizards came one after another.
Hermione and Qiu also came, and they became excited when they saw the young man, and they resisted not to pounce on them.
Harry recovered from the state he was in just now and quickly explained for himself:
“Last week in the Duel Club, my opponent was Smith”
“He was defeated by me and said a few unpleasant words, and we had a fight, and we never spoke again after that. It really wasn’t something he did.”
“Well, I have a general understanding of the situation.”Wayne nodded and looked at the little badgers again.
“Don’t misunderstand Harry, Harry couldn’t have done this.”
Harry looked at Wayne gratefully, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
“But he was the only one who arrived at the scene first twice. McMillan said:”Once is a coincidence, but what about two times in a row?” And the voice he just said he heard was a complete excuse. No one heard it except him……..”
“I know it’s fishy, but don’t worry, Ernie.”Wayne comforted his classmates and pointed at Harry.[]
“Petrified Smith’s magic is so advanced that even I can’t do it. If he had this ability, he wouldn’t have to learn magic from me.”
“Even if I am the murderer, Harry can’t be the murderer. He doesn’t have the ability.”
Harry’s grateful eyes suddenly turned into resentment.
Thank you for defending me in this way.
Another little badger raised an objection:”Then maybe he got some secret weapon from the secret room?”
“First of all, let’s not discuss whether the secret room exists or not. Wayne shook his head:”Even if there is, the heir should be from Slytherin.””
Now, everyone finally looked at Harry with no doubt in their eyes.
“Thank you for your explanation, Mr. Lawrence.”Dumbledore nodded,”Minerva, send Mr. Smith to the school doctor’s office first, Pomona, Filius, evacuate the students.”
The professors nodded and began to drive the students out.
Wayne secretly made an eight sign. Seeing Qiu, Hermione nodded, and then withdrew his hand.
“Mr. Lawrence, I haven’t congratulated you on winning the potion exchange competition.”Dumbledore said gently.
“Thank you, professor. Wayne looked around and said with some confusion:”Where’s Professor Lockhart? With his character, he shouldn’t miss these things, right?””
“Lockhart had fallen asleep.”Harry, who hadn’t left yet, answered his doubts.
“He was very tired just after grading his homework, and fell asleep directly on the table.”
Harry heard the sound in Lockhart’s office and saw Lockhart sleeping before he dared to run out quietly. As a result, he almost became a murderer.
If he was given another chance, he would rather sleep with Lockhart. Neither came out.
The originally bustling crowd quickly dispersed, and Dumbledore took Snape away.
Wayne and the other little badgers returned to the lounge first. After Smith’s incident, no one was in the mood to celebrate. , simply finished eating and went back to their respective dormitories.
Wayne took this opportunity to sneak out again and came to the door of the Room of Requirement.
After a while, Hermione and Qiu also came.
The three of them We got into the Room of Requirement together, and Qiu, who was always the most reserved, was the first to hug him.
“Wayne, you are finally back.”
In this month, Qiu felt that life was like a year. Without Wayne, he was listless in doing anything. Even Quidditch, which he cared about the most, became boring.
Hermione looked at the two people who were almost fused into one. Her mouth was so pouted.
Qiu had beaten her to it, and she would never stick to it again no matter what.
Although she knew privately that Wayne was not clear with other girls, but on the surface, she didn’t know how to do it. Maybe he let him hug her without any grudges.
Fortunately, the little witch’s thoughts were noticed, and after separation from Qiu, Wayne took the initiative to hug Hermione
“Miss me?”
“Not really.”The little witch hummed:”I came here just to borrow the virtual brain machine.”
“That’s it. Wayne pretended to be disappointed:”I originally said that if you miss me, I can lend you the brain computer for a few more days in 5.8. It seems I’d better forget it.””
“It’s a pity that I have also upgraded it to reduce the consumption of mental energy. You can use it for at least three hours a day.”
“Think about it, can’t I still think about you? Hermione blushed and said reluctantly, but if you look closely, you can see the smile in her eyes.
“That’s pretty much it.”Wayne took out the computer, handed it to her, and then said to the two of them.
“You don’t have to worry about the secret room. With the necklace I gave you, no danger will harm you.”
The gift that Wayne gave to all the girls at Christmas is the same, a necklace that can resist powerful black magic. It can even resist the killing curse, but it will break after one time.
This is possible because of each necklace Contains the power of the magic stone
“Well, I’m not too worried. Qiu was a little worried:”But if the matter in the secret room is not resolved, the school will always be in danger.””
“Fifty years ago, Hogwarts was almost closed down because of human deaths. If it continued,…”
The news that Smith was petrified today will definitely spread.
Hogwarts, known as the safest place, is no longer safe
“In fact, there is no need to worry so much. Wayne touched Qiu’s head:”In my opinion, the murderer actually had no intention of killing anyone.””
“Why do you say that?”Hermione asked puzzledly.
“With the ability to petrify Smith and Mrs. Norris in an instant, would it be difficult to add another attack at the same time?”
“But the murderer did not do that, but left directly, which means that he did not want to kill anyone.”
Hermione and Qiu thought for a while and found that Wayne was right, and their worries immediately dissipated a lot.
