94 Diagon Alley
Chapter 151: Festival
I walked into the store trying to find out what Malfoy wanted him to keep, and I saw the necklace was still there. Borgin told me the price of the necklace, he didn't say it was sold—"
"Enough!" said Professor McGonagall angrily, "Potter, thank you for telling me this, but we can't just because Mr. Malfoy visited the store that might sell this necklace, Just blame him casually. There are probably hundreds of people who have been to that store—"
"—that's what I said—" Ron muttered.
"—and, this year, we have increased security precautions, and I don't believe that necklace will enter this school without us knowing—"
"But-"
"--one more point," said Professor McGonagall in a firm tone, "Mr. Malfoy did not go to Hogsmeade today."
Harry stared at her blankly, suddenly deflated.
"How do you know that, Professor?"
"Because he's locked up with me. He's missed his Transfiguration homework twice in a row. Well, Potter, thanks for letting me know of your doubts," she said. Stepping past them, "But I'm going to the hospital now to see Katie Bell. Have a nice day."
Professor McGonagall paused, looked at Harry, Ron, and Hermione, "I'm wondering why the three of you are always involved? Occasionally, Oli Vander."
"Don't say you're wondering, Professor." Ron shook his head, "I've been wondering for the past six years."
The serious dean opened the door of the office. They had no choice but to walk away from her one by one without saying a word.
"So, who do you think Katie is going to give that necklace to?" Ron asked in the empty hallway.
"God knows that," said Hermione, "but no matter who it is, there's no escape. Just open that package and you're bound to hit the necklace."
"Possible to many," said Harry. "Dumbledore-Death Eaters would love to get rid of him, he must be their first target. Or Slughorn-Dumble Lido thought Voldemort wanted to pull him over, and now they must be upset to see him on Dumbledore's side. Or—"
"Or you." Hermione said anxiously.
"Impossible," said Harry. "In that case, Katie would just have to turn around on the way and give it directly to me, wouldn't it? After coming out of the three brooms, I would Keep walking behind her. Filch searches everyone in and out of Hogwarts, wouldn't it be wiser for Katie to hand me the package off campus? I don't understand why Malfoy called her Take the necklace into the castle."
"Harry, Malfoy isn't in Hogsmeade!" said Hermione, stomping helplessly.
"Then he must have an accomplice," said Harry, "Crabbe or Goyle—yes, maybe another Death Eater, and now he must have a whole bunch of Bikras. Boo and Goyle are more like buddies because he's joined—"
Ron and Hermione exchanged glances, apparently saying "it's no use arguing with him".
"If you think about it, it's not a clever arrangement this time." Ron said carelessly, "The spell can't even enter the gate of the castle. This arrangement is not foolproof. ."
"You're right," Hermione nodded. "It really wasn't a very thoughtful plan."
"When did Malfoy become a world-class thinker?" Harry asked.
Ron and Hermione ignored him. "Are you all right?" Hermione looked at Gwen. "You haven't spoken, Gwen."
Gwen snapped back from his rumination, "What? Oh, I don't know who to give the necklace to. The only thing I'm sure about is that Katie was going to the bathroom to wash her face—oh my god, Her face was still wet when she came out - I can't believe I didn't notice." Gwen covered her face in frustration, she felt like a complete idiot.
"Then it must have been a witch who gave Katie the necklace," said Hermione, "because it was in the women's room. She must have cast the Imperius on Katie while she was washing her face."
"Maybe," Gwen didn't comment, she turned and trotted away anxiously, "Sorry, I have to go to the medical wing to see them."
By the time Gwen arrived at her familiar medical wing, Katie had calmed down, but her face was white and her eyes were closed. Under her eyelids so transparent that she could see blood vessels, her eyes were shaking violently, as if she had been in a long and terrifying nightmare.
Mrs. Pomfrey first looked nervously at Gwen, making sure she hadn't touched the necklace and didn't need a strong sedative. She was willing to tell her about Katie's condition.
"It's not very good, but she's relatively lucky. She seems to have only a small piece of skin touching the necklace: there is a small hole in her glove. If she wears the necklace around her neck , or just pick up the necklace with her ungloved hand, and she'll die, maybe on the spot. Fortunately, Professor Snape has a way to stop the spell's rapid spread—"
Only then did Gwen realize that near the window sill of the medical wing, the wizard who likes to fasten the buttons of his robe to the top of his neck is holding his wand and suspending the opal necklace in the air, and by the light outside the window observe.
Gwen was silent, she sat on Katie's bedside and held her hand, then looked at Ginny, who had been drugged by Madam Pomfrey, and bit her lips.
Snape didn't seem to be interested in necklaces anymore, he turned to see Gwen, frowning with a look of disgust, but just when Gwen thought he was going to ask himself something At that time, the bat-like professor rolled his robe and left.
In the quiet and white hospital room, Gwen can finally think about what happened today. She didn't think Harry's suspicions were unreasonable. One or two clues may be a coincidence, but if such a person happened to have been to Borgin-Bock; revealed that he had a special assignment; You know, Malfoy's grades aren't bad - so what does he do with his spare time? All kinds of abnormal behavior mean that even if he is not the one who handed out the necklace in the toilet, there is no way he can get away from it.
The easiest way, Gwen said to himself, let's see if his arms are as clean as his soul.
Totally Failed Forecast
Katie was transferred to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries the next day. By this time, the news of her being under a spell had spread throughout the school, but the details were not known. clear. Gwen ran to the medical wing early in the morning, and the poor girl hadn't woken up yet. Madam Pomfrey said that although her life was not in danger, they had to keep her in a sleepy state, trapped in nightmares.
Katie's parents were already waiting for her in St. Mungo's, where the bald therapist with thick glasses was wiping the mist from her glasses.
"This is the third time I've been here, why do you always have some weird cases—" he complained, lifting Katie's eyelids, "The nasty security barrier, even Not allowed from the Floo network, I have to Apparate outside the school and walk in." Then he asked Madam Pomfrey about Katie's situation, read the note left by Snape, and decided to take it with him immediately. Katie left - this time he was allowed to ride in the carriage.
Gwen, while he was attracting Madam Pomfrey's attention, swiftly stole a bottle of purple potion by Katie's bedside - which she herself had drank before - to make The man immediately fell asleep and hid under his robe.
According to Gwen's imagination, she only needs to find Malfoy on his own one day, find a way to bring him to an empty classroom, and then logically teach him a little lesson.
But the situation is more complicated than she expected. First of all, she herself has a full day of classes to attend. Plus, Malfoy was a year younger than her and in a different house, and Gwen could barely meet him at Hogwarts without the blond boy bothering Harry. In the end, Gwen only saw Malfoy in the hallway a few times, accompanied by two gorilla-like henchmen.
She can only grind George every day, begging him to reveal some secrets, thinking that as long as there is a chance, she will definitely complete her temptation.
Katie Bell is still living in St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and will not be discharged in the short term, which means that the team that Harry has carefully tuned/taught since September is very promising The Gryffindor Quidditch team is missing a Chaser. He was reluctant to find someone to replace Katie, hoping she would come back, but as their first match against Slytherin was approaching, he finally had to admit that Katie wouldn't be back in time to play.
"Gwen..." Gwen just came downstairs that morning when he met Harry who was trying his luck in the lounge.
Gwen hurriedly waved his hand before he could continue to ask for help, "I have 10,000 reasons to refuse you, Harry. Exams, classes, but most importantly, I'm not good enough to fly."
Harry was clearly concerned, "But you're strong enough."
"Hey," Gwen looked at him reproachfully, "because of your impoliteness, I must add another reason for refusal. Also, you know the difference between a hitter and a chaser. Big one, I will only hold you back."
Harry was a little frustrated, and it seemed that Gwen was his last hope. "Okay, then I'll have to go to Dean."
Gwen probably understood why the Gryffindor captain hesitated. To be honest, Dean has been trying so hard to comfort Ginny after Katie's accident, even she herself told the boy
