Chapter 269 Suspects

Chapter 269 Suspects

At the notice of the prefect, Dumbledore rushed to the scene, followed by many professors.

After he checked the handwriting, Filch levitated with a flick of his wand.

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

Lockhart stepped forward eagerly.

"My office is closest to here, Headmaster—over here—you can—"

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

"Yes, you are right, principal, there are too many dangerous magic items in my office, which is not conducive to the preservation of corpses."

Lockhart nodded, a little excited, as if he had seen some great novel material.

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

Hermione didn't leave, she handed the bobo tea to Anne, and followed closely behind William.

Mrs. Norris also followed Filch.

When the group arrived at the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey covered her mouth and let out an exclamation.

"Merlin, what's going on?!"

"Attack, I think a dark wizard has attacked poor Filch. But it's all right, the danger is over and I'm here."

Lockhart jumped up and down, having assumed the role of the new book himself.

And Madam Pomfrey will obviously become a flustered, uninitiated, and somewhat annoying head nurse in the book.

Dumbledore laid Filch down on one of the beds and began to examine it carefully.

Harry flinched back in fear, and opened his mouth to tell William and Hermione silently, "I've got nothing to do with the rain."

Harry shut his mouth quickly, Snape's dark eyes, staring into his eyes, made him uncomfortable.

Harry's intuition told him that Snape was going to goug his eyes.

What a hatred, what a resentment!

Do you hate my eyes so much?

Harry remembered William saying that Professor Snape's hairline was dangerous... Harry was willing to give Snape his hair for a nice wig.

Why bother with his eyes.

Dumbledore bent over, the tip of his long hooked nose almost touching Filch's wound.

In this short period of time, the wound has completely healed, and the blood coagulated outside the wound has also completely become solid.

When he touched it lightly, it turned into reddish brown powder.

Dumbledore's pupils narrowed sharply.

seem,

Confused.

He looked at Filch carefully through the half-moon glasses. His slender index finger, like a stick, pressed against Filch's body here, poked there, and poked repeatedly.

Lockhart hovered around them, offering advice.

"It must have been the Unforgivable Curse—Avada Kedavra killed Filch—I've seen it used many times, and I'm quite experienced with it.

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

"...I recall very similar incidents in Ouagadougou," Lockhart said, "a series of attacks that I have detailed in my autobiography.

At that time, I provided Muggles with various amulets, which solved the problem at once..."

"Filch is not dead," said Dumbledore.

Lockhart was counting the number of murders he had prevented when,

It stopped suddenly.

"He's not dead?"

"I just passed out, and I will wake up in a while..." Dumbledore said.

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

Snape stood behind them, half hidden in the shadows, his eyes finally shifted from Harry to Lockhart.

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

seem,

It's nice to have such a colleague.

At least it will be fun.

"Harry, what did you do to Filch!"

After being slapped in the face by the speed of light, Lockhart also noticed the smile on Snape's face, changed the subject, and looked at Harry.

"I didn't touch Filch at all!" Harry exclaimed. "When I got to the scene, Filch was on the ground."

"Hoho, but I remember that Filch reported you a few days ago, saying that you colluded with Peeves and broke the disappearing cabinet. You may have a grudge..."

Everyone looked at Harry again.

Lockhart was right, Harry was clearly the prime suspect.

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

Filch took me into the office, handcuffed me, whipped out his whip, and Nick got me out. "

Harry explained it quickly.

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

It was also the day that Nearly Headless Nick invited Harry to his Deathday Party.

But what surprised William the most was that Hogwarts actually had a disappearing cabinet?

He immediately thought of the disappearing cabinet in the Bojin shop.

Will the two be a pair?

If yes, how did the other get to Bojin shop?

William decided to find some time to investigate.

"Allow me to interrupt, Headmaster," Snape said.

"Of course." Dumbledore nodded.

"Perhaps Potter just shouldn't be in that place at that time," said Snape, with a slight sneer on his lips, as if he deeply doubted it.

"But we did run into a series of questions. Why on earth did he go up the hallway? Why didn't he go to the Halloween party?"

"I went to Nick's Deathday party...there were hundreds of ghosts who could prove I was there—"

"But after this, why don't you come to the banquet?" said Snape, his dark eyes gleaming in the candlelight. "Why go up the corridor?"

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

Dumbledore looked at Harry somewhat disappointed.

It wasn't the answer he wanted to hear.

William also shook his head slightly. Harry's lying skills are really terrible, at least dozens of hagrids behind Cedric.

It seems that Qiu will be cheated by Cedric sooner or later, and Harry has no chance.

Even the lie is so false, but also have a girlfriend?

Snape smiled contemptuously; he was a master liar.

"Obviously our Boy Who Lived, and won't tell us the truth, I'd suggest giving him some little essence... like Veritaserum.

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

Before Professor McGonagall said anything, Lockhart jumped out and objected loudly: "Merlin, it is against the law to use veritaserum without permission. We can't do such a thing!"

Dumbledore said softly, "Of course, I've never advocated the use of Veritaserum.

And Harry is innocent as long as he's not proven guilty, Severus. "

Snape snorted coldly.

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

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

you,

Haven't we always been inseparable? "

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

Now that something happened to Filch, wouldn't something happen to Ron, too?
