[HP+ Fantastic Beasts] Fallen

When Abu came down the stairs, many students in the common room were sucking bloody severed fingers.

Seeing him sitting on the sofa next to him, Warren held out a severed finger, "Hey, Abu, try it?"

"I don't understand why you guys like it so much..." Frowning, Abu glanced at the severed finger, "Such weird and unappetizing candies."

As Halloween approaches, this bloody, oddly shaped candy once became a favorite of students, and many times Honey Dukes will be sold out as soon as it hits the shelves.

Shrugging, Warren held up the severed finger candy in front of Abu, "The blood is strawberry jam, the skin is vanilla-flavored candy, and the flesh is grape-flavored fudge-you can't deny that the candy is delicious , come to have a taste?"

The candy is almost fake. Abu stared at the candy for a long time, but couldn't overcome the psychological barrier after all. He pushed Warren's hand holding the candy away, "You'd better eat it by yourself."

Warren finished the finger candy in two good bites and smacked his lips when he was done.

Abu rolled his eyes skillfully at him: "I won't fight with you, you can eat slowly."

"By the way, Abu, have you finished your dissertation on the history of magic?" Warren leaned in front of Abu with a smile, "Let me take a look, I really don't understand the goblin rebellion."

Taking out the thesis from the bag and patting Warren on the chest, Abu lazily said, "Take it, I won't be able to help you with the exam..."

"what--"

A sharp scream came from the other end of the lounge, Abu frowned and looked there, "What's going on?"

The sound of weeping and retching came faintly again, and Warren tilted his head and thought for a while, "It seems to be Teresa's voice..."

Abu's complexion became solemn, and the scene of Theresa covering her bleeding eyes at the last Halloween ball was still in front of him, which made him faintly realize that this time it might not be a simple accident.

Standing up and walking towards Teresa, the surrounding crowd saw Abu approaching and consciously stepped aside.

Teresa knelt on the ground, weeping out of breath, retching from time to time.

In front of her was a candy with a severed finger.

Abu walked up to Teresa, "What happened?"

Teresa was sobbing and unable to speak, and her friend who stood aside answered Abu for her, "Theresa ordered a pack of severed finger candies from a candy store in Diagon Alley... the one inside, isn't Candy, it's... it's a real severed finger."

Abu was taken aback, then turned his head to look at the "broken finger candy" on the ground - and a tooth mark on it.

I used a detection spell to go up, and it was indeed a severed finger.

Aware of the seriousness of the matter, Abu ordered Stuart, who was standing aside, to call the professors over, then helped Teresa up, comforted her and let her sit on the sofa to rest first.

Looking at the students around him, Abu raised his voice, "Everyone, don't eat candies with severed fingers and hands. In addition, I think everyone knows how bad this matter is. If anyone has any clues, please contact me or the professor as soon as possible." .”

"Yes, Chief."

The first one to arrive was Slughorn. He stepped forward and gave Theresa a hug, "Oh, poor girl, I'm going out with your friends recently. If you have anything to do, please come to the professors. If it's not convenient , I believe that Mr. Malfoy will be happy to help you."

Teresa nodded with a sob, the tears continued to flow down, and the handkerchief that was wiped was soon stained, and it seemed that she still hadn't recovered from the shock.

Dumbledore and Principal Armando also arrived soon. In order to avoid more panic, Armando carefully put away the severed finger with magic, and prepared to go to the office with the professors to investigate carefully.

When Armando put away his severed finger, Dumbledore also investigated the common room, and then shook his head at Armando, indicating that there were no clues.

"Miss Graham," Dumbledore squatted down in front of Theresa, "has this bag of candy passed through anyone else?"

Theresa had calmed down a little under Slughorn's comfort, but there was still a cry in her voice, "No... After the owl arrived, I brought the candy directly to the lounge."

"We will investigate this matter carefully," Dumbledore stood up and looked at Slughorn, "Let Professor Slughorn take you to the school hospital tonight and have a rest first, Maggie will take care of you take care of you."

Watching Slughorn help Teresa go out, Principal Armando issued a temporary access control notice, asking the students to stay in the common room and dormitory tonight and not to go out.

Signaling Anita, who is also the prefect, to maintain the order in Slytherin House, Abu followed Dumbledore and Principal Armando, "Principal, professor, can I go together?"

Principal Armando glanced at the students who were returning to the dormitory in an orderly manner under the guidance of Anita, "Come on, I don't think our professor knows as much as you do about many things among the students."

------

The severed finger floated above Principal Armando's desk, and Abu vaguely smelled some stench of flesh and blood.

He looked away from the severed finger and looked at Principal Armando, "The shop where Teresa bought this candy belongs to the Malfoy family. I have already contacted my father with a double-sided mirror and asked him to investigate. If there is any problem If it was in a candy store, the Malfoy family will be responsible for it, and there will be no favoritism."

This is also one of the reasons why Abu wanted to follow. When he saw the candy packaging bag, he recognized the familiar store logo. I believe that the professors will find out this matter soon, so it is better for him to explain directly.

"I think there may be some clues," Dumbledore sighed, and pointed to a small row of very secret small words that looked like ordinary stains on his finger. "Here is a row of words."

He waved his wand, enlarged and reflected the line of words into the air, and said softly, "'Happy Halloween, I give you a part of my body, my beloved girl——Harrison Albert'."

"Harrison Albert..." Principal Armando murmured, "Is this really his finger? If so, it would be too crazy... Little Mr. Malfoy, what do you remember?" What kind of person is Harrison?"

Abu pondered for a moment, squeezed out sporadic traces of Harrison from his memory, "Because he is a collateral branch of the Albert family, he is not valued by the family, so he is usually relatively low-key, and he does not seem to be a crazy person. Last Halloween The event at the party also surprised everyone."

With a flash of inspiration, Abu asked Dumbledore and Armando, "Could it be a curse?"

Dumbledore shook his head, "We checked that night, and there was no curse on him, nor was there any sign of being controlled."

Looking at the row of words that hadn't dissipated yet, glowing blue under the dim light, Abu felt a bit of chills, what kind of terrible love could make Harrison cut off his fingers, and in this way , to his beloved girl?

Armando summoned his patron saint and asked him to inform Harrison's parents to bring Harrison here.

While waiting for the reply, Armando prepared snacks and black tea for Abu. Abu took a sip of the black tea and sat quietly - this fact really made him not in the mood to eat snacks.

Soon the echo of Harrison's parents arrived. The voice of the patron saint was a female voice with some pain, and it seemed to be Harrison's mother.

"Harrison's child disappeared half a year ago... We have Apparated to Hogsmeade and will be at Hogwarts soon."
