Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1238: That’s a trap

Chapter 1240 That's a trap

Wait, wait, continue to wait patiently, Harry felt that he was losing his patience.

After getting that important memory from Professor Slughorn, Harry only went back to the Gryffindor common room temporarily, and after sharing the good news with Ron and Hermione, he stayed directly in the Waiting for Dumbledore to come back in the headmaster's office.

However, Harry didn't expect that what he was facing was a long wait.

Waiting from morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon, Dumbledore still did not return to Hogwarts, as if the memory he acquired was innocuous.

Professor McGonagall came to the principal's office again and told Harry about the situation of Professor Slughorn. The Veritaserum Potion effect on the poor Potions Professor has been successfully removed, and apart from being a little frightened, he was not seriously injured.

Harry was not surprised that Snape had the antidote for Veritaserum, and Narcissa probably got it from Snape.

This whole thing is a bit of a coincidence.

If Snape is completely Dumbledore's man, Harry can't help but suspect that this is a game designed by Dumbledore and Snape to let Narcissa use Veritaserum to force Slughorn Fling The whereabouts of the agent, and then let yourself go to successfully pick up the leak, and complete this almost impossible task.

It's no wonder Harry has such an idea, in Albert's words: There have never been so many coincidences in this world.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore and Snape were not on the same side at all, otherwise Slughorn would have passed out crying in the toilet.

I didn’t know how many times I walked around the office, ignoring the dissatisfied complaints from Phineas’ portrait, Harry sat back in the armchair and searched for Malfoy’s whereabouts with the Marauder’s Map. What conspiracy is the guy brewing.

At least, while taking Felicia, Harry's intuition told him that there was something wrong with Malfoy, and that something might be done in the near future.

Whether it was in the Slytherin common room, or near the Room of Requirement, or even in the library, Harry couldn't find Malfoy.

"That guy is probably still in the Room of Requirement, but what is he doing in there?" Before Harry came to the principal's office, he tried to enter the Room of Requirement, but it was obvious that someone was inside, and he couldn't get in at all.

"You seem to have a lot of prejudice against the student named Malfoy." Phineas continued, "Because of the grievances between you, you suspect him..."

"If Draco Malfoy's father Lucius wasn't a Death Eater, his mother Narcissa hadn't just broken into Hogwarts to **** Felicia, and he himself didn't join the Death Eaters, I would Naturally, he doesn't think there is a problem with him." Harry turned his head to look at the portrait of Phineas on the wall, and sneered, "To be honest, I don't think there are a few guys in the Death Eaters who deserve sympathy. If they all deserve sympathy, Then who should sympathize with the Muggles killed by them, do you rely on you to sympathize with those innocent Muggles who died tragically?"

Harry ignored Phineas, but picked up the newspaper he had read countless times from the desk.

He suspected that Dumbledore was in Azkaban.

Perhaps, there has just been a fierce battle in Azkaban, where Dumbledore is preventing Voldemort from taking prison.

Perhaps, Dumbledore was injured in the battle with Voldemort and is receiving...

No, with Dumbledore's level, there are very few people who can hurt him.

But thinking of Dumbledore's necrotic hand, Harry couldn't help but feel worried.

Just as Harry's thoughts began to wander, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the office, jumped up from his chair, and looked expectantly at the entrance of the principal's office.

I saw a familiar figure pushing the door and entering the office.

"Harry!"

The old man seemed very surprised to see Harry in the office.

"Sir, you are finally back." Harry stepped forward excitedly, reached out his hand and took out a small glass bottle from his robe pocket, handed it to Dumbledore as if offering a treasure, and said, "I got Slughorn En's memory."

"That's great, Harry, I knew you could do it!"

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

He took the glass bottle containing Slughorn's memory, strode towards the cabinet where the Pensieve was placed, moved the Pensieve inside to the desk, and immediately poured the memory in the glass bottle into the basin inside.

"Now, we can finally see the hidden truth, Harry, you go ahead..." Dumbledore seemed a little excited.

After Harry poked his head into the Pensieve, he finally saw the memory that Slughorn did not want to be known. Just like Dumbledore guessed, Slughorn did tell He explained that Voldemort can split his soul by killing people, and the secret that Horcruxes can make people immortal.

After learning the news of Voldemort's resurrection, Professor Slughorn realized the great harm he might have caused that day, so he hid this memory, not only because he was ashamed of the mistakes he made , and also afraid of being missed by Voldemort.

A man who knows Voldemort's secret does not live long.

However, this memory still helped Dumbledore a lot, because in the conversation with Professor Slughorn, Tom Riddle apparently mentioned the crazy idea of ​​​​splitting the soul into seven parts.

The reason is that seven is the most magical number that can enhance Voldemort's power.

"So, Albert's prediction is true." Harry said suddenly.

"Yes, this memory does prove that Voldemort did split his soul, and he also tried to split it into seven parts." Dumbledore seemed very happy.

"So, now we only need to find the last two Horcruxes to kill Voldemort completely." Harry was also in a good mood. It made him happier that Voldemort was going to die.

"Yes Harry." Dumbledore nodded, "The remaining Horcruxes are probably Hufflepuff's gold cup and Ravenclaw's crown."

"Professor, when will you take me to find the Horcrux?" Harry asked excitedly, "If we can destroy one more, then Voldemort is not far from the end."

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while, I'm still collecting information, and now is not the time." Dumbledore did not tell Harry that he suspected that the cave where Horcruxes might be stored may have no souls in them. device. After all, it was odd that the Slytherin locket was in Black's house, and as he said, the timing was wrong.

"Oh, well."

Harry was quite disappointed by this, but he seemed to remember something again, and suddenly said: "By the way, Professor, did Professor McGonagall tell you about Professor Slughorn being attacked in school?"

"I already know about this. Professor Slughorn is fine, just a little frightened. Madam Pomfrey said that he will be discharged after a night's rest in the school hospital." Dumbledore seemed Not too concerned about the matter.

"I blocked the assailant when he was about to leave. I think it may have something to do with the good luck brought by Felicia, although the man used the compound potion to disguise himself as Pansy Parkinson, But I can confirm that the attacker is Narcissa Malfoy, her real name can be seen on the Marauder's Map.

"I think Narcissa Malfoy broke into Hogwarts to attack Professor Slughorn for the Faelief." Harry rambled on his analysis, "Listen to Sirius, Narcissa They searched for Felicia with Bella all over Europe, and were wanted for murdering the apothecary, I think they probably..."

"I already know about this, Harry." Dumbledore finally interrupted Harry's rapid-fire speech, and said calmly, "I think you are probably tired too, go back and rest first, and you Your friends should be waiting for you to go back and share the good news with them."

"No, sir, I have a hunch that Draco Malfoy wants to do something, they must have a big conspiracy..."

"That's **** prejudice," Phineas said lazily.

"It's not a prejudice, it's an intuition I got after taking Felicia Felicia, I think there shouldn't be any mistakes, and the newspaper said that Voldemort planned to go to Azkaban to break the prison..." Harry stared fiercely Glancing at Phineas, he spoke out his discoveries and guesses.

No way, the fact that Narcissa Malfoy broke into Hogwarts was weird, and he thought it was some kind of bad omen.

"Don't worry about Harry, I just came back from Azkaban. Scrimgeour has taken the Aurors and set up a lot of protection and traps in Azkaban." Dumbledore comforted softly, "As for Here at Hogwarts, I don't think anyone can cause a storm when I was in school."

The confident words left Harry speechless for a moment.

Although Harry does not think that the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic can prevent Voldemort from robbing the prison, but with Dumbledore at Hogwarts, it is really difficult for anyone to cause a disturbance, even if Malfoy has prepared some evil plots, It might seem like a joke in front of Dumbledore.

"What if they take Felicia? I mean..." A possibility suddenly appeared in Harry's mind, and he looked at Dumbledore suspiciously.

This whole thing is really weird in every way. Could it be a trap they set up?

Albert may have predicted Malfoy's conspiracy in advance, and then joined Dumbledore to plan to have a one-pot end. It seems that this possibility is not impossible.

After all, that guy likes to do this kind of thing very much, and even through similar methods, he killed a bunch of Death Eaters and dark wizards with the help of the Ministry of Magic.

"Harry, I don't think anyone can threaten the safety of Hogwarts students in front of me." Dumbledore said calmly, but Harry could see that he didn't want to talk about this topic.

"Sir, I can feel that this is definitely a conspiracy."

Harry was silent for a moment, but he still spoke his mind, "Maybe, Albert did it on purpose, or there are other reasons. Although I don't know what role the Malfoy mother and son played in this time, but I think there is no conspiracy to hide from Albert and you..."

"You think too highly of me." Dumbledore interrupted suddenly.

"If you can, please tell me everything you can tell me. I think I can withstand the pressure. When I decided to defeat Voldemort, I was already mentally prepared." Harry looked Dumbledore's eyes said: "Honestly, I don't want to look like a fool, that feels pretty bad."

"There are not so many coincidences in this world. If many coincidences come together, it must not be a coincidence." Harry looked away and looked at the newspaper on the table and said, "This is what Albert told me , I think this makes sense."

Dumbledore looked deeply at Harry, and he realized that this was the boy's protest and dissatisfaction with his concealment. Harry was far better than he had imagined, and he discovered a lot of things just through some clues, which made Dumbledore extremely gratified.

He knew that Harry had been preparing silently.

"Harry..."

Before Dumbledore could speak, a green light suddenly flashed outside the window, instantly attracting the eyes of the two of them.

"What's that?"

Harry and Dumbledore walked towards the window of the principal's office together, looked up at the familiar skull floating in the night sky, and a large python emerged from the skull's mouth.

"Dark Mark, how could there be a Dark Mark at Hogwarts." Harry couldn't help but widen his eyes, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Draco Malfoy made it up, it was his conspiracy.

"Don't know, but I don't think it's a prank."

Looking at the Dark Mark that appeared on the Astronomy Tower, Dumbledore turned his head to the portrait on the wall and said, "Phineas, please inform Sirius so that he can summon the Order of the Phoenix to reinforce Hogwarts." Ci, I'm afraid the Ministry of Magic can't count on it."

"Harry, I hope you return to the Gryffindor common room." Dumbledore turned to Harry and said.

"I can fight without a professor."

After noticing Dumbledore's gaze ~IndoMTL.com~ Harry quickly changed his words and said, "At least, I'm sure I can do something."

"You want you to put on the invisibility cloak, and then go to remind other professors that there may be Death Eaters breaking into the school and let them go to the observatory." Dumbledore quickly made arrangements.

Phoenix Fox uttered a cry, spread its wings and flew towards Dumbledore.

"Professor, this must be a trap." Harry took out Felicia Felicia from his pocket, threw one into his mouth, and handed the bottle to Dumbledore.

"Remember Harry, it's much more useful to find other professors than you alone." After finishing speaking, Dumbledore reached out and grabbed Fox's claw, and disappeared into a ball of flames.

"Damn it!"

Looking at the place where Dumbledore disappeared, Harry clenched his fist unwillingly, but he knew very well that the past could only cause trouble for Dumbledore. So, after he pulled out his wand and used the Disillusionment Charm on himself, he hurried to the spell office on the eighth floor, preparing to wake up Professor Flitwick first, the former dueling champion would definitely be able to help Dumbledore.
