Chapter 52: Criminal Suspects

At the prefect's notice, Dumbledore arrived at the scene, followed by a number of professors.

After he checked his handwriting, he waved his wand and Filch floated.

"Come with me, William, I need your help." He said softly, "Oh, and Mr. Potter. ”

Lockhart stepped forward eagerly.

"My office is closest to here, and the headmaster - right here - you can—"

"Thank you, Gildero." Dumbledore shook his head, "But your office won't work, I think Filch needs a bed." ”

"That's right, you're right, Headmaster, there are too many dangerous magical items in my office, which is not conducive to the preservation of corpses."

Lohart nodded, a little excited, as if he had seen something terrible.

Professor McGonagall and Snape followed, and the other teachers left with their students.

Hermione didn't leave, and after handing the Bobo tea to Anne, she followed closely behind William.

Mrs. Loris also followed Filch.

The group arrived at the school hospital, and Madam Pomfrey covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"What about Merlin, what's going on?!"

"Attack, I think there was a dark wizard who attacked poor Filch. But it doesn't matter, the danger is gone, and I'm here. ”

Lockhart jumped up and down, already putting himself in the role of the new book.

Madam Pomfrey, on the other hand, will apparently become a panicked, unassertive, and somewhat annoying head nurse in the book.

Dumbledore placed Filch on a bed and began to examine it carefully.

Harry shrank back in fear, opening his mouth to tell William and Hermione, "I don't have anything to do with the rain." ”

Harry quickly shut up, Snape's swarthy eyes, staring straight into his eyes, making him uncomfortable.

Harry's instincts told him that Snape wanted to gouge out his eyes.

What a hatred, what a grudge!

Do you hate my eyes so much?

Harry remembered William saying that Professor Snape's hairline was dangerous...... Harry was willing to send his head to Snape to make a beautiful wig.

Why bother with his eyes?

Dumbledore was hunched, the tip of his long hooked nose almost touching the wound on Filch's body.

At this time, the wound had completely healed, and the blood that had coagulated outside the wound had completely turned solid.

When he touched it lightly, it turned into russet powder.

Dumbledore's pupils shrank.

seem

Convoluted.

He scrutinized Filch through the lenses of his half-moon-shaped glasses, and his slender index finger, like a stick, stabbed and poked at Filch's body parts, here and there, and poked and poked repeatedly.

Lockhart wandered around them, constantly giving advice.

"It must be the Unforgivable Curse - Avadaso killed Filch - I've seen others use this spell many times, and I'm experienced with this death curse.

It's a shame I wasn't there, otherwise Filch would have survived like Harry, but with a lightning scar on his chest......"

“…… I remember something very similar in Ouagadougou," Lockhart said, "and a series of attacks that I have detailed in my autobiography."

At that time, I provided Muggles with all sorts of amulets and solved the problem in one fell swoop......"

"Filch, he's not dead." Dumbledore said.

Lockhart was counting how many murders he had prevented,

Suddenly stopped.

"He's not dead?"

"Just fainted, for a moment...... You can wake up! Dumbledore said.

"Ahh It's about the same as my judgment! Lockhart said.

Snape stood behind them, half hidden in the shadows, his gaze finally taking his eyes off Harry and falling on Lockhart.

The expression on his face was very strange, and he was desperately trying to restrain himself from laughing.

seem

It's not bad to have such a colleague.

At least it will be fun.

"Harry, what did you do to Filch!"

After Lockhart was slapped in the face at the speed of light, he also noticed the smile on Snape's face and began to change the subject, looking at Harry.

"I didn't touch Filch at all!" Harry exclaimed. "By the time I got there, Filch was on the ground."

"Roar, but I remember Filch reported you a few days ago, saying that you colluded with Peeves and broke the Disappearing Cabinet, and you may have a grudge......

Everyone looked at Harry again.

Lockhart was right, Harry was clearly the biggest suspect.

"I didn't, I had just finished training Quidditch and I was covered in muddy water.

Filch took me into the office and tried to handcuff me, and he pulled out his whip, and Nick rescued me. ”

Harry was quick to explain.

It turns out that Nick had Peeves smash a cabinet to the ground in order to save Harry, attracting Filch away.

It was also the day that Nick, who was almost headless, invited Harry to his death party.

But what surprised William the most was that Hogwarts actually had a Vanishing Cabinet?

He immediately remembered the vanishing cabinet at the Bogin store.

Will the two be a couple?

If so, how did the other one get to the Bojin store?

William decided to find a time to investigate.

"Allow me to interject, Headmaster." Snape spoke.

"Of course." Dumbledore nodded.

"Maybe, Potter just shouldn't have been in that place at that time." Snape said, his lips twisting into a sneer, as if he were deeply skeptical.

"But we did run into a series of doubts. Why on earth did he go to the corridor above? Why didn't he attend the Halloween feast? ”

"I'm going to Nick's death party...... There are hundreds of ghosts, and they can prove that I'm there—"

"But after that, why don't you come to the banquet?" Snape said, dark eyes glistening in the candlelight. "Why did you go to the hallway up there?"

"Because—because—" Harry lied, "I'm tired and want to go to bed." ”

Dumbledore looked at Harry with some disappointment.

It wasn't the answer he wanted to hear.

William also shook his head slightly, Harry's lying skills were so bad, at least dozens of Hagrids worse than Cedric.

It seems that Autumn will have to be tricked away by Cedric sooner or later, and Harry will have no chance.

Even the lies are so fake, and they are also equipped with girlfriends?

Snape smiled contemptuously, he was a master liar.

"Obviously, our immortal boy won't tell us the truth, and I suggest giving him some little serum...... For example, truth spitting.

In this way, we can even ask who he likes. ”

Before Professor McGonagall could say anything, Lockhart jumped out and objected, "Merlin, it's illegal to use Truth Potion without permission, we can't do that!" ”

Dumbledore said softly, "Of course, I have never advocated the use of truth potions.

And Harry is innocent as long as he is not proven guilty, Severus. ”

Snape snorted coldly.

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then finally asked a crucial question.

"Mr. Weasley, Harry, I noticed that Ron wasn't with you tonight.

You guys

Haven't they always been inseparable? ”

Harry was startled as he remembered that Ron had been taken away by Filch.

Since something happened to Filch, Ron wouldn't have had an accident too, right?
