Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

Chapter 39 The person who broke into the bathroom

Gray had just almost packaged the pieces of onyx and sent them to Lucius Malfoy, but this sudden package disrupted his original train of thought.

If it was indeed sent by Lucius Malfoy, then his purpose of sending another package with his name clearly stated was probably to get rid of his own suspicion.

But as Claire analyzed just now, just this anonymous package is enough to ensure that he gets rid of the suspicion. It is simply unnecessary for him to send it again.

But if it wasn't him who sent it?Gray has been teaching peacefully and has never provoked anyone.

He sprinkled the remaining Senecio juice on those strange-shaped stones, and smoke came out.

"It looks like it's safe this time." Claire put down her wand slightly after seeing something strange. "But these stones look very strange...are they stones?"

Gray bent down and carefully observed the strange-shaped stones on the tables. These scarlet stones were centered on a column and had sharp needle-shaped structures radiating outwards. They looked like a hedgehog and had a very strange shape.

He carefully picked up a piece of stone and looked at it. Isn't it unprocessed aragonite?

Gray didn't believe that Lucius Malfoy could really not embarrass him at all, otherwise he wouldn't have offered to help him identify the crystal.However, this appearance is nothing more than a typical aragonite with Senecio, and the test results can almost prove that it does not have black magic.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Gray's delay in speaking, Claire asked, "Who is this from?"

"Lucius Malfoy just asked me to help identify some stones..."

"I see... I know this guy. I met him at the Ministry of Magic a while ago. He has been quite active recently. He has been criticizing the mismanagement of Hogwarts in newspapers. Students were attacked but no measures were taken. Suspecting Principal Dumbledore to cover up the murderer of the student attack - Harry Potter, the Parseltongue." Claire suddenly became interested. "But this thing is indeed strange enough. I heard that you were also present at the time. There is a Parseltongue." Really?"

"With so many people at the scene, can it still be fake?" Gray didn't want to mention anything else to her. He was still thinking about the two packages. "But now is not the time to pry for information."

"Okay - please continue to meditate. Professor Morris, a great thinker, had better think carefully about how to deal with that insidious villain. If you need my help, as a partner, I will help you as appropriate." Claire looked at He glanced at his watch and said, "I think I should go, but I didn't expect that it had been so long and there were so many things going on in the editorial department in the afternoon."

Finally, after Claire repeatedly reminded him to be careful about people who send packages anonymously, she finally walked out of Gray's office.

Gray was the only one left in the office. There were things scattered on the floor, an empty table, and two opened packages.

Since Lucius Malfoy didn't cause any trouble (Gray felt it was very unreasonable), should he still send this cloak to him?

He put down an aragonite in his hand and raised his hand before putting it on the table - in the end he decided to send the aragonite and the black cloak back to Lucius Malfoy. After all, the cloak was If you tear it off, you can't work in vain. You must seize the opportunity to respond to the other party.

Gray placed the aragonite on the dirty cloak one by one. However, in the process, he found that the stones were getting smaller and smaller, and their shape seemed to have changed. They were no longer the needle-like shape.

This stone is indeed a problem.

"Stop the curse!"

Those stones turned into a few ordinary pebbles in an instant.

Passing pebbles off as aragonite?Really, does it mean that Lucius Malfoy is trying to get into trouble?Gray now felt that his hesitation was unnecessary and he should have sent the cloak to Lucius Malfoy.Since he wants to touch porcelain, he should give these onyx to him.

This time he did not hesitate to throw the remaining two pebbles into the pile, and then threw two onyx pieces on the cloak, ostensibly as compensation, but actually to test Lucius Malfoy's acceptance. Reaction after onyx.

Finally, he added a letter

"Mr. Lucius Malfoy

I am very honored to have seen such precious aragonite, but it is a pity that they themselves seem to be very dissatisfied with those 'hedgehog' images, and finally all of them turned into smooth pebbles.

For this reason I deeply sympathize with the fact that the aragonite that Mr. Malfoy has treasured for so long is essentially a few pebbles.I can understand if you feel incredible about this, because when I opened the package, I couldn't believe it when I saw the stones turned into pebbles, but there is no way. So bizarre.

After all, the disappearance of aragonite happened in front of me. As a crystallographic researcher who was entrusted by others, did I help the client reduce losses? It was my responsibility to be negligent in this matter.

So in order to help Mr. Malfoy get over his heartfelt grief about the wrong stone as soon as possible - the cherished aragonite is actually an ordinary pebble. I specially sent a few pieces of fine onyx that are not pebbles. I hope you will accept them.

In this regard, I have two suggestions: For the safety of the stone and you, please do not cast random spells on onyx to prevent them from causing unexpected and uncontrollable dangers; and for the safety of others, please do not cast transformation spells. To prevent the same bizarre incident from happening again, he once again became a pebble picked up by the roadside.

Speaking of things picked up on the roadside, just today I happened to pick up a cloak near the Forbidden Forest.It looks familiar to me. With such fine fabrics and exquisite patterns, I think only the Malfoy family can dress so well.Although I don’t know what happened to make the noble Mr. Malfoy savagely tear off his cloak and abandon it here (most likely it was taken away by a dog), but returning it to its original owner is always a good ending.

Your loyalty

Gray Morris"

Gray thought his packing skills were perfect. Now the stones were wrapped in the cloak and turned into a neatly knotted oval black bundle.

He was about to go to the Owlery, but as he walked out of the office, Emery Switch called to him from around the corner.

"You're here just in time! Come on! Come here!"

"What is it? Mr. Emery Switch."

Emery Switch nodded with satisfaction when he heard this title, "Just now I saw a suspicious person, and I kindly remind you to take a look -"

"Is that the lady just now? She has nothing. Mr. Emery Switch knows both of us -" He was anxious to send the package.

"It's not your lady! That's the person you brought. How could it be suspicious? Also,! Don't interrupt me!"

The corner of Gray's mouth twitched as he was about to listen to his long narrative.

"Just now I was closing my eyes to prepare for sleep, and then I heard someone coming downstairs. The soles of his shoes were rubbing against the ground. He made a loud friction sound and almost fell down. He disturbed my sleep! So I opened my eyes. I opened my eyes and wanted to scold him and ask him to walk and lift his legs. As a result, the little boy stared blankly in confusion and ignored my teachings. He stared straight ahead and then went downstairs." Murray Switch's eyes widened and he was very angry. "It's so disrespectful to the seniors! I scolded him and he ignored me and didn't even look at me! I think he is very suspicious. This student has misbehaved! You Go and criticize and educate me! Let him see how you do it! Aren’t you a professor? This is what you should do!”

Gray is speechless. Is this the so-called suspicious reason?Ignore the teachings of portraiture?Isn't what's really suspicious about a student wandering the hallways without being accompanied by a professor?If he remembered correctly, Mag had already informed all students of this rule before killing the basilisk last night.

According to Emery Switch's description, the person who actually opened the secret room may have appeared.

"What does Mr. Emery Switch look like? Which college? Are you sure he went downstairs?"

"This kind of person who doesn't respect the teachings of his predecessors and is self-righteous and just rushes forward is of course a Gryffindor! A fair and fat boy! Okay, let's go quickly. He went downstairs and didn't go long! I'm still thinking about it. When are you coming out? I'm afraid you won't find him! You don't even put a portrait frame in your office for me to visit, so I can only wait here - "

Gray had already run downstairs before Mr. Emery Switch could finish the second half of his words.

……

Due to the successive attacks, there are very few people in the corridor on the second floor on weekdays. Are there any people hanging around? Students escorted by professors are not allowed to go out alone. It is lunch break now and the corridor is even more empty. Just take a look and you can Saw a figure.

Gray looked at the little boy's back from a distance. He seemed to have been stripped of his bones, his whole body was limp, and he moved step by step towards the door of the women's bathroom.

Just as the little boy touched the door where the spell was placed, Gray grabbed his shoulder.

"Mr. Longbottom, can you explain why you are here?"
