Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1188: Stupid murder

"What happened?"

The screams startled all the customers in the bar.

The Hogwarts students who were drinking butterbeer and chatting nonsense with their friends stood up from their chairs and flocked to the entrance of the bar. They saw a group of people on the street not far away. Look up at the sky.

There is a person floating in the sky, screaming pitifully.

More people moved closer to that side, but they just watched from the sidelines, and no one went up to help.

In fact, they can't be blamed for this. Many people panicked and didn't know what to do.

Even the residents of Hogsmeade were helpless. In the end, a few Aurors who were in charge of patrolling Hogsmeade rushed over after noticing the movement, trying to rescue the floating in mid-air. Poor girl.

"What happened?"

Harry asks Fred, George and Lee Jordan who are helping to keep order.

"Don't know, but I hope she's okay."

George frowned and looked at the Auror who was trying to break the curse. He felt that these guys were unreliable, so he reminded him aloud, "It's best to find a way to put him down first, and then send him to Hogwarts. It's the closest to here, maybe Dumbledore can lift the spell on her."

In his opinion, the Aurors probably couldn't break the spell on Katie.

The Aurors suddenly realized that they were about to pick up the **** the ground. George had already taken out a bottle of potion from his pocket and poured it on Katie's face, so that her pain and screams could be alleviated to a certain extent.

"You, this..."

"Do you still have the antidote?" George asked back.

"I have a bottle here."

Fred took out a bottle of potion from his pocket and threw it to George, then said to the two dazed Aurors, "It's better to ride a broomstick, it will be faster. Mrs. Rosmerta, you Don't mind borrowing the broomstick from the store.

"Oh, no problem, I'll get it now."

"No, I'll do it!"

Fred used the Flying Charm to easily summon the broomstick in the Three Broomsticks bar, and at the same time summoned a stretcher out of thin air to transfer Katie onto it.

"What kind of potion is that?" An Auror couldn't help asking, he found that the curse on the student was relieved to a certain extent.

"The anti-curse potion can wash away most of the curses, but the effect is only average."

The two Aurors looked at each other, doubting who was the real Auror-trained professional. After securing him, they quickly flew to Hogwarts on a stretcher.

Looking at the backs of the Aurors leaving, the Wesley twins couldn't help shaking their heads. He found that these Aurors were even more unreliable than expected.

"Does anyone know what happened?"

"You are Katie's friend."

Lee Jordan was one of the first people to arrive here, and he had already targeted the girl who was most likely to know the truth.

"Can you tell us what happened here and who cast a spell on Katie?"

Everyone turned their attention to the girl who was frightened and cried, hoping to get some useful news from her.

Hermione couldn't stand it anymore, she hurried to the girl, put her arms around her, and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Katie will be fine."…

"You are Lini, what happened just now, who cast a curse on Katie."

"What... no, there is a package... something will happen if you tear it open." Lini said with a choked voice.

"What package?"

"I don't know..."

"Don't touch that thing," Harry yelled, startling the whispering students.

"What?"

The boy who was yelled at by Harry froze on the spot in fright, and stopped picking up the package, obviously not understanding what Harry meant.

"Don't touch the package on the ground, that thing is cursed."

Harry had seen what was peeking out of the package, an opal necklace, and he couldn't be sure if it was the opal necklace from Bokin Burke's, but it was definitely dangerous.

Fred did a trick, pulled a spy device out of his pocket, poked it at the package, and soon proved that Harry was right, that the opal necklace inside the package was indeed a Dark Magic item.

"It must be sent to Hogwarts, maybe Dumbledore needs to find out what the Dark Curse is on it."

George waved his wand and rewrapped the package. For safety reasons, he put a layer of shell on it to ensure safety, then looked around and asked: "Who would like to do it for you, and send Lini back by the way?" Hogwarts?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one offered to help.

Just when Harry was about to stand up, he heard George say.

"Forget it, I'll go on my own, let's go." George stretched out his hand to help the girl named Lini, and apparated away with her.

"I might have seen it at Bokin Burke's, that opal necklace."

In the Three Broomsticks bar, Harry lowered his voice and said to the people around him, "It seems that someone bought that necklace and wanted to pass through Katie, bring it into Hogwarts, and want to use it to kill someone Personal."

"I don't think the chances are high Harry." Hermione shook her head and directly denied Harry's opinion.

When she noticed that everyone was looking at her, Hermione felt a little nervous, took a deep breath, and explained uneasily, "This year Hogwarts has strengthened security measures, I don't believe that necklace will be in the Entering Hogwarts without knowing."

"Maybe someone tried to kill Filch with that necklace," Ron complained.

"That's impossible Ron, I think Filch will probably use the spy detector to determine if it's a black magic item after seeing the package."

"Are you trying to say that the guy who tried to murder others with the necklace is an idiot?" Fred took out a bottle from his pocket, took a sip, and teased with a smile.

"When did you carry a wine bottle like Mad-Eye?" Ron looked suspiciously at Fred's silver wine bottle.

"We don't dare to eat outside now, God knows if someone will add some special seasoning to the food." Lee Jordan also has the same bottle.

"You should pay attention to Cedric. If I definitely add something to your drink and put you down, then you will be finished." Fred took another sip and handed the bottle Ask Harry, who has always been interested, "Would you like some?"...

"What's in it?" Harry asked after sniffing it.

"Warm wine, it tastes warm." Fred said with a smile, "Dobby helped prepare it, it really helped us a lot."

"Dobby?" Qiu Zhang asked puzzled.

"A house elf hired by Albert." Cedric said with emotion, "He is currently responsible for helping take care of our lives."

"Look, even you're not against hiring house-elves," said Hermione excitedly.

However, no one answered her words.

"It always feels like you are becoming more and more like Aurors." Ron couldn't help complaining.

"If you are being targeted and you don't want to be unlucky because of it, you have to learn to be careful." Fred shook the bottle with a smile, and resumed the topic just now, "I dare say Katie Someone must have cast the Imperius Curse on her, and the guy who cast the Imperius Curse on her is also a fool."

"If you ask Albert for divination, you should be able to find the culprit, right?" Harry asked suddenly.

"Should be able to, but I don't think he should waste time on a fool."

George walked up to Harry, smiled and pulled up a chair and sat down beside him. Under the gaze of everyone, he said in a low voice, "The murderer should be hiding in the Three Broomsticks. Linny said Katie went to a bar." After returning from the toilet at the Three Broomsticks Bar, she became a little weird, holding the unmarked package in her hand. She thought that Katie should not agree to hand over the suspicious item. When the two sides snatched the package, Accidentally tore open the package, and the opal necklace inside fell out, and Katie obviously got seriously hurt if she touched the necklace."

"That's impossible..." Hermione said suddenly.

"What?"

Everyone looked at Hermione in puzzlement.

"If there are Death Eaters or dark wizards approaching the three bars, the detection pocket watch will definitely respond." Hermione took out the detection pocket watch Albert gave from her pocket.

"If the person who cast the Imperius Curse on Katie is also cast with the Imperius Curse by someone else, it won't be detected by detecting the pocket watch." Fred reminded kindly. He was well aware of the shortcomings of detecting pocket watches.

"Is Katie okay!" Harry asked.

"When I left, Snape seemed to be healing her..."

"Wait, you mean Snape is treating Katie?"

"Yes, Dumbledore is not at school. Professor McGonagall asked Snape to check Katie's injuries and help her with emergency treatment. I heard that they are going to send Katie to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries to receive more formal treatment."

"Who do you think Katie wants to give that necklace to?" Cedric asked suddenly.

"Me or Dumbledore." Harry said without hesitation: "However, I can be ruled out. After all, I am here, and Katie can bring it to me directly. If you open that package directly, it will definitely Touching the necklace, no matter who the person is, it will be bad luck."

Harry felt that he was lucky, if it was him, maybe it would have been dismantled on the spot. At least, he never had the habit of carrying a secret detector with him at all times.

"I don't think Dumbledore will be tricked." Fred shook his head.

"A package without any markings is very suspicious no matter how you look at it." George explained, "In the past, when we helped Albert unpack this kind of package, we would be very careful to prevent any spells from being cast on the package. Or some dark magic item.”…

The three of them are all experienced in this field.

In their view, even Albert is on guard, let alone Dumbledore, who will definitely be suspicious when they see such an unmarked package.

"We've been discussing for so long, and we've confirmed one thing, that is, the guy who sent the package turned out to be an out-and-out idiot." Harry felt absurd.

"It's really an idiot. Even if Katie doesn't have any accidents, the package will be stopped by Filch and won't be able to enter Hogwarts at all." Ron shrugged.

"Harry, who are you suspecting?"

"Nothing?"

"Say it, it's better than holding it in your heart, maybe I can refer to it for you." George suggested.

"Well, I suspect that this matter is related to Draco Malfoy. Although there is no evidence, I always feel that this matter is likely to be done by him."

After Harry noticed the expressions on other people's faces, he shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed and said, "Of course, this is just a suspicion, so I think I should ask Albert to help with divination, and I will definitely be able to know who it is Who did it."

"I don't know if Draco Malfoy did it, but according to Lini..." George secretly looked at Mrs. Rosmerta at the bar counter.

"You think Mrs. Rosmerta is under the Imperius Curse?" Cedric immediately realized what George meant.

Several people turned their heads to look at Mrs. Rosmerta, but they couldn't see anything wrong.

"The necklace was given to Katie, it should be just an accident, maybe Mrs. Rosmerta will give it to any Hogwarts student who goes to the bathroom alone?" George briefly stated his guess.

"But, how come no one sees something wrong with Mrs. Rosmerta?" Ron felt incredible.

"Mrs. Rosmerta is not a strong-willed person, and it is not difficult to use the Imperius Curse to control her." Fred looked at Cedric and asked, "You didn't see that your friend was killed at the beginning. Take control with the Imperius Curse!"

"I can't see it at all." Cedric shook his head and said

"What should we do, expose Mrs. Rosmerta to the Ministry of Magic?" Qiu Zhang looked anxiously at his boyfriend, who was drinking a glass of butterbeer here just now.

"No, keep this matter a secret, and then tell Dumbledore and let Dumbledore handle it." George turned his head to Harry and said, "I think this should be the safest way. There is Harry, if you are fine, go back to school as soon as possible, even if there are Aurors patrolling here, it is not safe, we will leave here as soon as possible."

"Wait, don't forget about the Defense Association." Cedric quickly reminded

"Oh, this matter, next time I will teach you something simpler, and you can discuss it later." Fred said without thinking.

"We originally planned to teach how to build a temporary camp to protect ourselves." Hermione said what she was going to say at the party.

"That's a good idea, let's teach this when the time comes, it's very practical." George made a decision and reminded the three of them to leave.

"I hope to ask Albert for divination."

"Don't waste your money Harry, I guess Dumbledore can guess who did it." Fred reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder, followed the others to go outside, and then directly used Apparition left.

"Harry, are you still suspicious of Malfoy?" Hermione asked on the way back to school.

"Yes ~IndoMTL.com~ I have a hunch that this matter has something to do with Malfoy." Harry said the reason for his guess like that, "Lucius Malfoy tried to assassinate Ai at the wedding last time. Burt, instead, was ambushed by the Ministry of Magic and killed many Death Eaters. He is still imprisoned in Azkaban. The Malfoy family is basically finished. If the Malfoy family wants to regain Voldemort's trust, kill Deng Blidore is undoubtedly the best choice. You also know that Voldemort wants Dumbledore to die."

"But Malfoy is underage," Hermione reminded.

"You shouldn't be judging by age, that's pretty ridiculous."

"After all, I'm not an adult either!" Harry showed a rather strange expression, "But I still have to face all that, I have no choice."

"Maybe the whole thing is an order from the mysterious man to Draco Malfoy."

"Why did the mysterious man do that?" Ron asked puzzled.

"Revenge, revenge for Lucius Malfoy's incompetence, revenge for his failure to keep the diary, which caused the Horcrux to be destroyed by me." Harry said softly, "Voldemort was never a big-hearted man. "
