Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Until then, I realized that Katie was not under the spell, but was affected by a black magic item." Ivan followed up, "Then I saw the necklace in her hand and knocked it out , she fell down. I used a few spells to break the spell, and gave her a bottle of potion to stabilize the spirit, which I brewed myself..."

"You handled it well, Mason. Fortunately, you were there at the time and didn't let the matter continue to deteriorate. The black magic on that necklace, no matter what it is, must have intended to kill Katie on the spot." Professor McGonagall was terrified. said, "Madame Pomfrey just told me that thanks to your bottle of potion, she has stabilized her spirits. When Professor Snape examines that necklace, we will know what the black magic is on it. Now, Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Ai Wen felt that there was nothing to say, and his plan was to let the situation develop first.

This is the first time Malfoy has acted, and it is obviously not yet time for Ivan to make a move.

Besides, so what?He has no direct evidence here at all. There are many things about this time, Ivan has not figured it out yet, and it is impossible to convince Professor McGonagall to believe him intellectually.

Hermione also shook her head, let alone Elaine, her mind was not on this at all.

Only Harry was hesitating. He made up his mind and asked, "Professor, can I meet Professor Dumbledore?"

"The Headmaster is out and won't be back until Monday, Potter," said Professor McGonagall, looking surprised.

"Out?" Harry repeated angrily.

"Yes, Potter, out!" said Professor McGonagall sharply, "but I think you can tell me whatever you have to say about this dreadful business!"

Harry didn't answer right away, he seemed to be having a hard time confiding in Professor McGonagall.

Since the beginning of school, his various conjectures about Malfoy have been opposed by Hermione, Ron and even Ivan, but after all, this is just a few of their internal discussions, and now I want to tell these things and tell the professor...

Dumbledore, for all his intimidation in many respects, seemed unlikely to pooh-pooh an idea, no matter how outlandish.

However, this is a matter of life and death, and there is no time for ridicule.

Chapter 1369 Harry's Guess

"I think Draco Malfoy gave Katie that necklace, Professor," said Harry bravely.

He tried to make his voice sound smoother and more convincing.

Opposite him, the serious expression on Professor McGonagall's face was rapidly changing into consternation and absurdity.

Ivan on the left side of Harry's body covered his forehead with his left hand, as if he had expected him to say that.

Hermione, who was standing on the other side of him, slid her foot on the ground, as if eager to keep a certain distance from Harry; Elaine raised her right hand to her chest and clenched a fist, but Harry was not sure about her position. Whether the response is to support yourself.

He knew that his idea was helpless here, but he did not intend to give up, and was ready to convince Professor McGonagall to believe him.

"That's a serious allegation, Harry!" said Professor McGonagall. "Have you got proof?"

"No, but..." Harry said, and he told Professor McGonagall about the conversation they had followed Malfoy to Borgin-Bock's the day they followed Malfoy to Borgin-Bock's, and their trip to Knockturn Alley The thing about the deep underground world.

Ivan pulled Harry's sleeve secretly, signaling him not to continue talking.

Harry suddenly realized that it really shouldn't be mentioned about the underground world.

After all, they lost Malfoy that day, and met the werewolf Fenrir Greyback in the Underworld.

There would be no end to this matter if he explained it, what he needed to say now was that Malfoy gave the necklace to Katie, there was no need to add extra details.

What's more, Harry has no evidence to prove that there is any connection between Malfoy and werewolves, but the four of them sneaked into the underground world of Knockturn Alley, and the encounter with Greyback sounds very reckless and dangerous.If Professor McGonagall knew, her focus would definitely be on this matter.

"Well, then, the few of us went back!" Harry stopped.

Professor McGonagall didn't notice Ivan's small movements, and she looked a little confused after hearing Harry finish speaking.

"You mean, Malfoy took an item to Borgin-Bock's to have it fixed?"

"No, Professor, he just asked Boggin to tell him how to fix something, and didn't take it with him," said Harry hastily, "but that's not the problem, the problem is that he also bought a thing, I think It's the necklace..."

"You saw Malfoy leaving the shop with a package like that?" Professor McGonagall looked at several people.

"No, Professor, he asked Borgin to keep it in the shop for him..."

"So you suspect that Malfoy bought the necklace from Borgin?" Professor McGonagall asked with a frown.

"Absolutely. I'm sure that necklace is in the window of Borgin-Bock."

"Wait, Harry!" interrupted Hermione, "There's still something wrong here."

"What's wrong?" Harry asked angrily.

"Well, Ivan and I went late and didn't hear the conversation between Malfoy and Bokin." Hermione analyzed, "But, I remember you and Ron told us that Bokin asked Malfoy if he wanted to put Take things away, Malfoy said no!"

"Because he doesn't want to touch that thing, so needless to say!"

"His exact words at the time were: What do I look like walking down the street with it!" said Hermione.

"Really?" Harry paused, "I don't remember exactly, and even if that's the case, what does it matter?"

"It matters a lot! It proves that the thing he kept in Borgin-Bock's was either bulky or made a lot of noise, so he couldn't walk down the street with it. Because he knew, It's sure to get someone's attention." Hermione said aloud, not giving Harry a chance to interrupt her, "and I just remembered that I saw this necklace the other day too, and it was put away by Borgin." In the counter of the shop, I asked about it, remember? When I went in to find out what Malfoy wanted him to keep, I saw the necklace was still there, and Borgin told me the price of the necklace, fifteen thousand A hundred Galleons, he didn't say it was sold!"

"That's because you did it too conspicuously. He found out what you wanted to do within five seconds, so he wouldn't tell you." Harry said, "Also, Malfoy can do it by mail order..."

"Enough!" Hermione was about to open her mouth to retort when Professor McGonagall said angrily, "Thank you for telling me this, Potter, but we can't just because Mr. Malfoy visited the shop that might sell this necklace, Just blame him casually, there are probably thousands of people who have been to that store. What's more, we have stepped up strict security precautions this year, and I don't believe that necklace will enter this place without our knowledge school."

"But……"

"One more thing." Professor McGonagall said in a decisive tone, ending the topic, "Mr. Malfoy did not go to Hogsmeade today."

Harry stared at her blankly, suddenly discouraged.

"How do you know, Professor?"

"Because he is in confinement with me, he has not completed the homework of the transformation class twice in a row." Professor McGonagall said, turning to look at Ivan, "Ivan, what else do you want about this matter? Supplementary?"

"No!" Ivan shook his head.

"Very good!" Professor McGonagall stood up, and she strode past them, "Thank you for telling me these suspicions, but I must say that if you plan to go to Knockturn Alley or something more dangerous next time It is best to report in advance. You can go back, I am going to the hospital to see Katie Bell now."

She opened the door of the office, and Ivan, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine walked out of her one by one.

Harry still seemed to be angry because of Ivan and Elaine's indifference, Hermione's rebuttal, and Professor McGonagall's distrust. He went back to the common room angrily, and when Ron came back, he explained this matter to him. The speculation was recounted again.

He hoped to seek support from Ron. Ron was obviously very surprised and full of doubts about this matter, but he didn't agree with Harry's point of view. His focus was on who Katie was going to give the necklace to.

In fact, many people in the school have this potential to be targeted.

Needless to say, Dumbledore and the professors who are serving the Order of the Phoenix, even Slughorn has this possibility.

Voldemort had been trying to pull him over, and he must have been upset to see him side with Dumbledore.

The actual situation should be quite unhappy, because on the bright side, Slughorn, as Voldemort's mentor, is the only one who knows that Voldemort made Horcruxes, the specific number of Horcruxes, and many unknowns about his student years of secret people.Voldemort wanted to keep it secret, and the first one who should be killed was Slughorn...

Chapter 1370 Second Course

For the students, Ivan and Harry are likely to be the targets of attack. For Voldemort, they are enemies second only to Dumbledore.

Several people have analyzed this issue, but there is no conclusion.

Harry, on the other hand, insisted that Malfoy had planned it all.

"Harry, Malfoy's not in Hogsmeade!" said Hermione, stamping her foot in resignation.

"Then he must have an accomplice!" said Harry. "Crabbe or Goyle... by the way, maybe another Death Eater, and now he must have a lot more decent people than Crabbe and Goyle." Brother, because he also joined Voldemort and became a Death Eater."

Hermione was too weak to argue with his insistence.

But regardless of whether or not Malfoy had planned it, and whatever his purpose, it had to be admitted that it was silly to ask Katie to hand over the necklace.Think about it, even if Ivan and the others didn't find her, she wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of the castle. That necklace would definitely be found by Filch in the end.

"If you think about it, that guy behind him might be planning to kill Filch," Ron said finally.

This is very possible, if there is no Ivan, if Katie hadn't quarreled with her friends to open the package, and she returned to the castle with the necklace smoothly, Filch must be the first to meet Well, Filch, who is in charge of checking the students, will definitely open the package once he touches the necklace...

Well, this may be the truth of the incident, an attack full of loopholes.

Although no one involved said anything, the story spread throughout the school the next day.

However, the specific details are not clear to everyone, and everyone believes that this is an attack against Katie himself.

Rumors swirled for a while that Katie was a good girl and the students couldn't see why anyone would attack her, nor did they connect it to Voldemort, but all the rumors ended up blaming Slytherin for the attack, To be precise, it was Malfoy, the captain of this year's Slytherin Quidditch team.

Katie is the main player of the Gryffindor team. Everyone believes that this is a conspiracy by Slytherin to prevent the Gryffindor team from winning the championship. Malfoy is the captain of the Slytherin team this year.

So, this matter was planned by him.

Regarding these rumors, Ivan no longer knows what to say!

Like Harry's conjecture, the conclusions he came to had no evidence or reason, but they were astonishingly accurate.

At eight o'clock on Monday night, Ivan and Harry arrived at the door of Dumbledore's office on time.

They didn't know if the principal had returned, but they hadn't been informed of the cancellation of the class. After Harry knocked lightly on the door, a voice from inside invited the two of them in.

Dumbledore sat there, looking extremely tired.

However, with a smile on his face, he motioned for Ivan and Harry to sit down.

The Pensieve was placed on the table again, casting dots of silver light on the ceiling.

"I heard from Minerva that many things happened in the school while I was away." Dumbledore said softly, "So, the two of you witnessed Katie's accident with your own eyes."

"Yes, Professor!"

"How is she?"

"It was okay, luckily she didn't touch the necklace directly, there was a little hole in her glove, if she put it around her neck, or just picked it up with her non-gloved hand, it didn't hurt. Or if the gloves are completely corroded at night, she will die, maybe on the spot." Dumbledore said, "Ewen, your handling is very proper and timely, effectively preventing the rapid spread of the curse. After studying the necklace carefully, Professor Snape dispelled the enchantment from Katie, in his..."

"Why him?" Harry asked immediately, "Why not Madam Pomfrey?"

"Impolite." Before Dumbledore could answer, a soft voice came from a portrait on the wall.

Is it Phineas?Nigellus?Black, Sirius' great-great-grandfather.

He seemed to have fallen asleep lying on his arms just now, and now he just raised his head and looked angrily at Ivan and Harry below.

"Back then, I wouldn't allow a student to dispute the way Hogwarts was managed."

"Yes, thank you, Phineas." Dumbledore said calmly, "Harry, Snape's knowledge of the dark arts is much richer than Madam Pomfrey's. I believe that with his help, Katie will be fully recovered soon, before the first Quidditch match."

"Professor, where have you been recently?" Ivan asked.

Behind them, Phineas hissed softly again, and Ivan's question was also very rude.

"It's a long topic to talk about, and I don't want to talk about it right now," said Dumbledore.

"I collected all those things." Ivan continued, and Dumbledore knew what he was talking about.

About summoning the unknown demon under the kitchen, Ivan had talked to him before.

This is currently the only clue related to Hufflepuff's secret treasure key. Ivan hopes to try it, although it is crazy.

"Oh!" Dumbledore became interested, "When are you going to start?"

"Anytime, how about tonight?" Ivan said.

Harry looked at the two of them curiously, he didn't know much about Ivan's plan.

He didn't know that Aiwen went to Hogsmeade to trade a house-elf corpse yesterday, and he didn't know that he planned to summon the house-elf demon, but Harry knew that it was related to the secret treasure left by the four founders and the It is related to the powerful monster called "evil god" by Aiwen.

What to start with?If he moves tonight, can he follow?

Although he didn't know the content, Harry was sure it would be an exciting adventure.

"I'm going too!" he said directly, and Phineas hissed again.

"You can follow, Harry!" said Dumbledore, "but this evening is not suitable, I have thought about it carefully, and I still need some preparation time, we can act during the Christmas holidays. What do you think, Evan?"

"No problem!" Evan said.

"Very well, let's continue our previous class tonight, this is a new content."

He took out a new bottle of silver-white memory from inside his robes, poked it with his wand, and pulled out the cork.

Ivan didn't look at the bottle, he noticed Dumbledore's hand with Gaunt's ring.

The spells above became more dense, what did Dumbledore do?What were these things he was unwilling to say?

"Wait, Professor!" Harry said hesitantly.

"Ok?"

"Did Professor McGonagall tell you what I said to Katie after her injury? About Draco Malfoy?"

"Yes, she told me of your suspicions," said Dumbledore.

"so you?"

"Anyone who is suspected in Katie's accident will be investigated thoroughly," said Dumbledore. "But, Harry, my concern is our class. Come on, you two !"
