Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Page 617

Ivan and Harry said a few words briefly, but his interest was not very high.

Aiwen didn't speak anymore, he leaned back on the sofa, sipped butterbeer, and observed everyone in the bar without a trace, the two wizards who had been staring at them, in another corner The group of wizards who couldn't see their faces clearly, the Creevey brothers who were playing wizard cards not far away, Zabini who was lazily leaning on a pillar, and who were discussing something with her friend in a low voice Katie...

Finally, his eyes fell on the shadows below the stairs, consumed by the darkness within.

There, he felt the magical reaction and knew what kind of spell it was.

A simple black magic, but very effective and dangerous at the same time.

Ivan looked back, there was no one there, and the problem now was Katie.

But look at the lively bar, this kind of thing can't be solved here, Ivan doesn't want to make a big scene, let the whole magic world know.

About 10 minutes later, Ivan said suddenly, "That's all for today, let's go back."

"Wait, I haven't finished drinking yet!" Elaine shook the red drink in her hand.

"Don't drink it!" Ivan said, it was a cup of black tea with a lot of sugar and blood added.

The taste was weird, the child drank it with gusto, and thought she was really drinking it without knowing it.

"But I don't want to go back yet, I'll have another drink later..."

"I just noticed that you eat too much sugar a day, and you should control it. It's not good for your health if it goes on like this." Ai Wen said, "Well, if you plan to continue drinking, the candy you bought at Honeydukes before and the night Desserts...”

"It's all business as usual!" Elaine said hurriedly, standing up all of a sudden, "I won't drink anymore, hurry back!"

Harry and Hermione had no problem either, they both wanted to go back to school a long time ago.

Ron didn't seem to want to come over and reconcile with them. This trip was no fun, and if he stayed any longer, the weather outside would only get worse.

In this way, the four of them wrapped their cloaks tightly again, covered their faces with scarves, put on gloves, and left the bar after Katie and her friends, and walked back along the road. Walking along the frozen slush on the road, he walked in the direction of Hogwarts.

After 10 minutes, everyone turned a corner and entered a secluded path, and the rain and snow fell more densely and urgently.

Suddenly, Ivan stopped.

There was a strange sound in front of them. It was unclear whether it was the wind or someone screaming. There are two vague figures, Katie and her friend, they are arguing fiercely.

"It's none of your business, Lini!" Katie yelled.

"No, we shouldn't..." The wind drowned out Lini's voice, leaving only the whine.

A gust of wind blew by, and everyone squinted their eyes.

Lini suddenly reached out to grab the package in Katie's hand, but Katie yanked it back vigorously, and the package fell to the ground.

Aiwen didn't hesitate, and quickly ran towards the two of them...

Chapter 1367 Pearl Necklace

At the end of the road, Katie rose into the air.

It's not the kind of head down, hanging upside down by hooking the ankle ridiculously, or struggling in a panic, her posture is very elegant, her arms are stretched out, as if she is about to fly, her hair is blown around by the violent wind Piao Wu, her eyes were tightly closed, and there was no expression on her face. This picture is really too weird.

Below, Harry, Hermione, Elaine, and Lini all stared blankly at her, at Katie who suddenly lifted into the air.

Before they realized what was going on, Ivan was already waving his wand.

The red light flashed, and Katie, who had just risen into the air, began to fall slowly under Ivan's control.

Just then, she suddenly let out a terrifying scream.

Her eyes snapped open, and what she could see or feel clearly caused her terrible pain, and she screamed one after another.

Like a boulder falling into a calm lake, Lini also screamed along with Gao Shen.

"Stop shouting!" Ivan cast another curse, which had no effect.

He frowned, knowing it was because a dark magic item was working again, the source of the jinx.

Ivan couldn't find where the thing was for a while, and he was thinking about whether he wanted to force Katie down from mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, he saw an open brown paper package in Katie's hand.

Another red light flashed, and the paper bag flew out.

With a bang, Katie fell down, writhing violently on the ground in pain.

"What's going on?" Harry, Hermione, and Elaine also rushed over to help.

"In the end what happened?!"

"She's under a spell. Is this black magic?"

"It's black magic, a black magic item." Ivan replied.

Katie was writhing violently and screaming. Several people hugged her, but they couldn't control her at all.

Ivan waved his wand again, and she was restrained and could not move.

Her expression is still contorted, showing the pain she is suffering.

Ivan took out a bottle of potion and poured it down for her, and she seemed to feel better.

"How is it, Ivan, is Katie okay?"

"The curse is under control, and it's not life-threatening, but she needs treatment, and we'll send her back to school." Aiwen said, what made him more concerned was the soul magic that controlled Katie, not the Imperius Curse or common spells. The spell, however, has the same effect as the Imperius Curse. It can hint and bewitch spells, which are quite unpopular spells.

This should involve another dark magic item, maybe in the toilet of the Three Broomsticks.

Lini was still wailing from the fright, her voice mingled with the howling wind.

"Okay, it's all right!" Hermione walked up to her and put her arm around her.

"You're Lini, aren't you?"

Under Hermione's soft questioning, the girl nodded and wiped her tears vigorously.

"Can you tell us what happened? Did it happen suddenly, or..."

"There's something wrong with that package as soon as it's torn," Linny said, sobbing.

She pointed to the drenched kraft paper bag on the ground that was blown away by Ivan and fell into the weeds by the roadside.

The package was torn open, and something glowed green inside.

It was only after several people walked over that they realized that it was a gorgeous opal necklace.

"My God, I've seen it!" Harry said immediately, staring at the thing, "Remember, Hermione? Just four years ago, Ivan's first year at school, we used to track horses... that guy And his father, it was displayed in the window of Borgin-Bock shop, absolutely right, the label said it was enchanted."

Hermione didn't answer right away, her memory flashed back to that summer vacation.

At that time, she didn't pay attention to what was in the window of Borgin-Bock shop, but she was trying to persuade Harry and Ron to leave quickly...

"Well, be careful, don't touch this thing, it does have a strong black magic aura on it." Ivan said.

Under his control, the kraft paper bag and the necklace inside flew up together.

"How did Katie get this thing?" Hermione continued to ask Lini.

"Well, we were arguing about that just now. She came out of the Three Broomsticks toilet with it in her hand, saying it was a present for someone at Hogwarts, and she was passing it on. She spoke She had a weird expression at the time, oh no, oh no, she must have been under the Imperius Curse, I didn't realize it at the time!"

Lini was shaking again from crying, and Hermione patted her on the shoulder lightly.

Aiwen didn't explain to her that it was not the Imperius Curse, but there was no such necessary explanation.

With a wave of his wand, he conjured a floating stretcher, and together with Harry lifted Katie onto it.

Several people began to return to school quickly, and along the way, Hermione continued to ask Lini about what had just happened.

"Didn't she say who gave it to her, Lini?"

"No, she refused to tell me... I said she was out of her mind and she must never take this thing to school, but she just wouldn't listen. Later, later, I wanted to snatch it from her. But, later , and then..." Lini let out a desperate scream, "Is Katie okay?"

"Don't worry, although I'm not a therapist, I can be sure that she has nothing wrong with her." Aiwen said that he had been following Katie just in case just in case, "She needs to rest for a while."

As long as the magic that involves the soul and spirit is usually very troublesome, a lot of damage is invisible, maybe there was no problem at the time, but it left a gap in the heart, and it broke out suddenly after many years, but the chance of this kind of damage is very small, And it usually refers to spells such as forgetting curse and soul separation.

Even Ron, who has been hit by the Imperius Curse many times in a row, has no problem, and Katie naturally has no problem.

A group of people walked to the school, but they met no one on the way.

Otherwise, everyone would definitely crowd around and ask what was going on. Katie and the necklace were floating around Ivan lying on the stretcher. Harry was thinking about something with his head down. Hermione and Elaine were standing beside him with red eyes Beside Lini, comforting her in a low voice.

As they were about to enter the school grounds, they encountered Hagrid.

He'd just gone to see Groop and Aragog, just out of the Forbidden Forest, with rain and snow on his eyebrows and beard, and in that huge, scruffy beaver coat, trying to figure out After what happened, he immediately picked up Katie and ran towards the castle.

Looking at Hagrid's back, Harry couldn't help expressing his thoughts, "Malfoy must know about this necklace..."

Chapter 1368 Passage and Conjecture

"As you said just now, Harry, this necklace used to be in the Borgin-Bock shop," said Hermione. "From what we have so far, Malfoy is obviously a regular customer of that shop, but that doesn't mean What, there are a lot of people going to Bokin-Boke store, not to mention that this thing was there almost five years ago."

"A month ago, the day we followed him, he went there to buy this thing." Harry didn't care about Hermione's objection, he said stubbornly, "He didn't forget it, so he wanted to go back and buy it!"

"Bought it just to put it in the women's room at the bar?!"

Harry stopped talking, which was really abnormal, if it was Malfoy, there would be no reason to murder Katie.

Ivan can be sure that it is Malfoy, and he has started to act!

This kind of murder method is not clever, but there are many things that Ai Wen didn't think clearly.

Hermione's question is very reasonable, why did he choose to do it in the girls' toilet in the Three Broomsticks? !

Ivan can't remember clearly. He did feel the messy magical atmosphere when he was waiting for Mrs. Rosmerta to bring him a drink at the bar. Was someone casting a spell inside or Malfoy borrowed some black magic item?

He was sure that it would be a black magic item, but now that he thought about it carefully, he was not so sure.

If it was a dark magic item, how did Malfoy put it in the girls toilet?

How did he get that thing away after all that happened?

This shows that he must have an accomplice, who was in the Three Broomsticks at the time...

But if you think about it, maybe there might not be such a person at all.

Because Apparition can also do this, as long as there is a Death Eater to cooperate with him, it is still very easy for Malfoy to do this kind of thing.

Ai Wen struggled for a while, then gave up!

He didn't think too much about such details, as long as he knew that Malfoy was behind the scenes.

A group of people walked across the field, and Professor McGonagall braved the whirling rain and snow to come down the stone steps to meet them.

"Hagrid told me everything just now. He said that the five of you saw what happened to Katie Bell. Please come to my office upstairs immediately!" The pearl necklace next to the tattoo, "Wait, Mason, what's floating next to you?"

"It's the thing that caused Katie's problem." Ivan said.

"My God!" said Professor McGonagall nervously. "You can still control it? You did a good job, now put it down, be careful not to touch... No, no, Filch, they are with I'm with you!"

Filch, spy device in hand, came strutting from the hall in high spirits.

Professor McGonagall took out her wand and pointed at the necklace floating in mid-air.

A ribbon emerged from the end of her wand, wrapping it tightly around the necklace, and handing it carefully to Filch.

"Take this necklace to Professor Snape at once, Filch, and don't touch it, just hold the ribbon like this!" she said. "Okay, five of you, come to my office."

Filch went to the basement with the necklace entangled in ribbons, and the rest followed Professor McGonagall up the stairs and into her office. ring.

It was cold in the room, despite the crackling fire in the grate.

Professor McGonagall closed the door, walked quickly around behind the table, and frowned at Ivan, Harry, Hermione, Elaine, and Lini, who was still crying.

"Tell me!" she said sternly. "What's the matter?"

Lini stammered, pausing several times because she was crying uncontrollably.

She told Professor McGonagall how Katie went to the toilet at the Three Broomsticks and how she came back looking a little weird with the unmarked package in her hand; how they argued because she thought Katie One should not promise to hand over an unknown item.

On the way, when the quarrel reached its peak, the two began to snatch the package, and the package was torn apart.

At this point, Li Ni's emotions completely collapsed, and she couldn't say a word anymore.

"Okay, okay." Professor McGonagall said softly, "Lini, you go to the school hospital and let Madam Pomfrey give you some medicine to calm your nerves."

After Lini left, Mrs. McGonagall turned to Ivan, Harry, Hermione and Elaine.

"What happened after Katie touched that necklace?"

"She went up into the air!" said Hermione, "Ivan wanted her to come down, and she started screaming, looking in pain."
