Harry Potter’s Natural Villain Chapter 256: Used Veritaserum
Soon, the incident about Mr. Crouch should come to an end. The last answer Dumbledore can give is to strengthen the management of the Hogwarts campus. He serves as the principal of Hogwarts. At the request of the Ministry of Magic, a group of Aurors were transferred to Hogwarts to ensure the order and safety of the campus before the start of the third game.
Mrs. Maxim and Karkaroff finally reluctantly accepted this compromise, and what is even more puzzling is that even so, Mr. Crouch still claims to be sick as if he is guilty of conscience, and disappears from people’s sight. .
At least among some insiders, this is the case.
"Oh! They are slander, there is no evidence. The principals of those two schools are trying to find an excuse to trip Dumbledore!" Percy said loudly with his friends in the auditorium. words. Defending his immediate superiors and roots of power.
"I personally visited Mr. Crouch at his house. He was really weak and lying in bed. To be honest, if he wasn't for office work, he would have gone to St. Mungo's Hospital for recuperation."
"What's more, how could he travel all the way from his home to attack a Triwizard player? Is there any need for him to do this?" Percy shook his head and said half-truth. .
According to common sense, Percy’s second half of the statement is okay, because any criminal’s criminal behavior requires motivation, but he lied a little lie for the truthfulness of what he said.
He has never been to Crouch’s house. As the relationship between the boss and the subordinates, it seems that the two have not been intimate enough to invite home guests. These are just his unnecessary vanity at work, as if this can make Others look at him high.
The other students at the table nodded in agreement and followed. As students of Hogwarts, they are also more inclined to think that this is the conspiracy of Durmstrang. Rum and Karkaroff played a bitter game.
Or Krum accidentally broke his head and remembered it wrong.
As for when Percy was chattering at one end of the long table, at the other end of the long table, the trio of Gryffindor was also discussing quietly.
"Harry, this is something to be suspicious and vigilant." Hermione handed the empty bowl back to the long table, shook her long index finger, and said to Harry solemnly.
"I believe that one person has hallucinations, but it is impossible for both of them to have hallucinations, unless someone uses magic on you, which is even worse."
"Of course I believe that you two will not lie, and the probability of you being hallucinated by magic is also very low. I believe Dumbledore must be able to see if you were awake at the time." Hermione said confidently.
"I only believe in Harry." Ron refused.
"Some of Wiktor’s words are not credible. I asked him alone. He said he didn’t see the face of the attacker because he was attacked by someone behind him. In his opinion, There was only Mr. Crouch behind him."
Ron's face looked a little ugly when he heard the first half of the sentence, and his attention went to Hermione and the Quidditch star to be alone.
"But we can't be sure, can't we?" Hermione knocked on the table, her clever and smart eyes were horribly bright.
"The culprit may be someone else. After you left, maybe someone else appeared on the scene, for example?"
"You mean...Professor Moody, do you doubt him?" Harry's face was a little ugly, and the lightning-shaped scar was twisted because of frowning.
"Of course, he also has suspicions, but the main point I want to express is not that he has suspicions, but that we can't confine our eyes to one place." Hermione said categorically.
Without the annoying Rita Skeeter, Hermione has more energy and patience to analyze these things. If she follows the original trajectory, she will be overwhelmed by Rita Skeeter’s report. Female students who are jealous of her will retaliate against her.
So she had to devote herself to fighting back against that nasty woman, and she didn't have time to pay attention to these things.
As for now, although she and Krum still have some lace news, it is limited to this, and it has not had a huge impact on her life.
"Come here now." Hermione took a look around and found that the other students were all gone. "We have to go to lunch." She temporarily stopped her analysis. "This afternoon, it's Si Nep's potions class." She added.
"Longbottom! Please use your pig-like brain to remember what I said!" In a blink of an eye, it was time for class. After Snape explained the operation method and let the students of the two institutes start to practice, accept Great things went wrong on Wei's desk.
This success made Snape speak badly at him, and his waxy face was full of grumpy emotions.
At this moment, a thick flame suddenly burst into the cauldron in front of him, constantly twisting his coquettish posture, and in a blink of an eye the fire was about to spread to the ceiling, constantly emitting to the surroundings. With scorching hot air waves.
The students who stayed around Neville took a few steps back at this time. Neville’s round face was constantly sweating, and his legs were trembling, but they wanted to do their best. To redeem my mistake, I want to cast a spell with a magic wand.
"Enough!" Snape snapped away the wand he was about to cast, then waved it very quickly, and chanted a spell very quickly with a syllable that everyone could not distinguish, light blue As soon as the light passed through the center of the flame, the fire suddenly died down, and the surrounding air dropped a few degrees.
"I will carefully consider suggesting to Dumbledore that Longbottom be banned from conducting potions experiments. This is for the safety of all the students." Snape rudely threw Neville's wand to the ground. Then quickly walked back to the podium~IndoMTL.com~The dark eyes looked straight ahead, and said in a high-sounding voice.
Neville picked up his wand slowly, his expression unclear on his face.
"Hermione! He has run out of Veritaserum!" Harry eagerly stretched out his hand, showing something, and shouted toward Hermione who was sitting next to him.
He was obviously absent-minded, and he didn't hear what Snape was saying.
He just heard the crisp sound of glass collision, his eyes followed the direction where the sound was made, and when he bent down, he found a small crystal bottle on the ground. This should be Snape just arrived. It fell out of the robe in front of Neville.
Harry remembered what this crystal bottle looked like, the same bottle that Snape used last time he threatened him.
Last time it was full of clear and transparent potions, but now it is empty.
Hermione seemed to be taken aback by the situation in front of her. She looked at Harry's empty crystal bottle woodenly.
