Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 453 The Minister's Inquiry

The student with the cactus on his body is from Gryffindor, named Nahum. It is said that he bought a pot of Meebu Meebo cactus in Hogsmeade yesterday, but he accidentally bought the wrong one and bought a pot of it. Devil's Claw Cactus.

Once touched, the devil's claw cactus will make people covered with thorns all over the body. This kind of poisonous thorns is still very difficult to remove. Madam Pomfrey said that if the thorns are pulled out directly, it will leave ugly marks, so she used a Potion, but it takes two days to disappear.

For the whole morning, Molin and An Ran hid in the school infirmary. From time to time, some students wanted to enter the school infirmary under the guise of visiting Nahum with cactus thorns on his body, even though some of them didn't know this person at all. Bad luck.

Their main purpose was to sneak in and ask Maureen and Enron about the inheritance, mostly from Slytherin and Hufflepuff.

But Madam Pomfrey kicked out all these visitors justly, and she also brought a sign and pasted it on the door of the school infirmary, which read: "Nahum refuses to visit, cactus thorns are contagious, if you If you don't want to lie in and be sick with Nahum."

But soon James and Albus were enthusiastically selling burdock nose sugar and vomiting sugar to those people outside. After eating this, you can come in and pretend to be sick. The main targets of selling are those who want to ask Maureen Hufflepuff and Slytherin students of what it takes to be the heir with Enron.

If Professor Francis hadn't confiscated their things when they passed by, the Potter brothers should have made a small fortune.

At noon, neither Maureen nor An Ran went to eat, but Madam Pomfrey kindly asked the house elf to bring them some food.She already knew what was happening outside, and she also knew what Mo Lin and An Ran were hiding.

"What nonsense, any heirs are all nonsense." Madam Pomfrey tidied up the bottles and cans on the medicine cabinet, and said, "The principal explained to the students at noon that this is not the heir's business at all, but everyone seems to be I don't believe it, it seems that there is really too little homework."

Not long after lunch, there was another noise outside, and someone was knocking on the door.Madam Pomfrey thought that the group of students were going to come in with some bad idea of ​​pretending to be sick, she held her wand angrily and shouted: "Whoever dares to ask for a sickness again, I guarantee that his hair will be turned into cactus thorns. "

"Oh, Madam Pomfrey, this is too serious." The door of the school infirmary was pushed open, Augustine walked in, and was startled when he saw Madam Pomfrey, who was as aggressive as an old hen and thrust into his waist, " I'm just looking for two students, so I won't disturb you for too long."

"It's you?" Madam Pomfrey frowned.

"Yes, yes, Madam Pomfrey, how are you doing recently?" Augustine rubbed his hands and asked with a smile on his face.He also graduated from Hogwarts before, so he naturally knew this witch who had been a school nurse at Hogwarts for decades, and knew that she had a bad temper.

"There is no stone arch in the school infirmary, minister," Madam Pomfrey said angrily.

"I know, I know—Stone Arch came back suddenly. I also asked other students just now, and I heard that they all said that the heir is hiding here. I will stop by and ask about the situation. It won't take long. "

Augustine glanced around and saw Maureen and An Ran sitting on the hospital bed.

"Oh, it's you again." Augustine was already familiar with Maureen.

"Minister." Maureen stood up and greeted him in surprise.

An Ran timidly stood behind Mo Lin, and greeted him nervously.For An Ran, the minister of the Ministry of Magic is a very high position. She is only a first-year student, and this kind of person should never have any contact with her in eight lifetimes.

But Mo Lin was different, he was already used to it, so it was no surprise.

"Let's go out and talk? Don't bother the patients here." Augustine's tone was surprisingly gentle, so gentle that Mo Lin couldn't get used to it.

They walked outside the school infirmary. The hallway had been cleared of students, and two Aurors were standing guard in the distance to make sure no one came.

Augustine took off his wizard hat and smiled at Molin: "Sure enough, Maureen is not! Your grandfather Alton and I are old acquaintances. Mr. Singer also praised you very much. I just heard that you and This little girl is the heir of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, is there such a thing?"

Augustine's tone was really patient, and no one could find any reason to refuse.

"Minister, who did you listen to?" Mo Lin asked politely.

"This--everyone is passing it on. In the morning we found that the stone arch was mysteriously missing. We thought it was stolen again, only to find that it returned to school. This is really strange--I asked, and other students said that the stone arch The first time you appeared, Principal McGonagall called you over, why is that?"

Augustine fiddled with the wizard hat and asked in a very understanding tone.

"Because I was locked up yesterday."

Mo Lin thought about the reason quickly in his mind, "I made a big mistake, Principal McGonagall originally asked me to go to her to continue the confinement today, but I went to join in the fun and was discovered by her, she was in a bad mood- —Seeing me wandering around there, I was called up to criticize me.”

Augustine stared at Molin's eyes with different pupils, and said: "This is strange, the first thing the stone arch suddenly came back to Hogwarts, the principal shouldn't be dismissing the students, why did he call you up instead?" Criticism? From what I know of Principal McGonagall, she is a person who knows priorities."

Augustine's sense of smell is quite keen, and he knows very well that this matter is not that simple.

But Mo Lin had already thought of an excuse, and his mind kept turning very fast.Although he was a little clumsy when dealing with An Ran, but he was different in this kind of matter.

"You know, Minister—the stone arch suddenly came back, and there was no protection around it. Not only people from your Ministry of Magic, but even us students are very curious about it. Many students want to climb up to touch the stone arch— ——I also wanted to climb up to see what happened, but Principal McGonagall found that his warning was useless, so he took the knife on me—killing chickens and monkeys, I am not lucky."

Mo Lin looked unlucky, and shook his head sighing.

"But the version I heard is not like this." Augustine smoothed the wrinkles on the wizard hat, and looked at Maureen meaningfully, "I asked other students just now, and they all said that you two are Gryffindor and Heir to Ravenclaw?"

Mo Lin thought for a while, and said in surprise: "Minister, haven't you heard the rumors about the heir? This has always been the case among our students—since the beginning of last semester, the stone arch suddenly appeared, everyone It is said that this stone arch is the four ancestors who were looking for an heir. Last semester, An Ran was captured by the black magic of the centaur. They said that the centaur did it to destroy the four heirs of Hogwarts. Made heir—and now I might be targeted by the centaurs too!"

Molin tried his best to pretend to be uneasy. Anyway, everyone said so, and Molin simply pushed the boat along. If Augustine asked other students to investigate this matter, he would definitely not go wrong.
