Chapter 223 Thoughts
The dinner in the hall tonight was the usual toast, roast beef, and carrots. The dessert was a pumpkin pie with pumpkin juice.
Meka Anders cut a piece of carrot with a slightly burnt skin and put it into his mouth with the sizzling beef. He took a bite and the sweetness of the carrot mixed with the rich meaty aroma, blooming on the tip of his tongue.
"Hmm~~ It tastes good..." This sentence was said by Hermione.
Hermione seemed to be in a particularly good mood and her appetite improved. After taking a bite of roast beef, she wiped her mouth with a white napkin and drank another mouthful of pumpkin juice. Her eyes narrowed into the moon in enjoyment.
Harry didn't care so much about his image. He took big bites of the food on the plate. He swallowed the food and said:
"I asked Professor McGonagall this afternoon. She said that classes will be back soon."
"I have good news too." Hermione said with a smile,
"I went to see Ron this afternoon. He is expected to be discharged within a week. Madam Pomfrey said that the others are about the same. We have finally survived the poisoning incident safely."
"The biggest hero here is Maeka." She looked at Maeka and raised the yellow pumpkin juice in her hand.
Maeka clinked glasses with her and said, "I didn't do anything, I just made a few bottles of potion."
"That's not all," Hermione shook her head, "Every bottle is a life-saving medicine. I pestered Madam Pomfrey to ask her, and she said that the entire school hospital was gloomy in the past two days, as if many people had died."
"There are dozens of people poisoned, but there are more than ten bottles of antidote." She glanced at Maeka and said:
"You have to know that every bottle missing means that one of the patients inside has to sit and wait to die.
People outside are not having a good time either. Doctors are like parents, especially when they see those seriously ill patients in pain every day. That kind of mood is even worse, and the situation they face is to choose which living person to give up in such a depressing environment."
"But finally..." Hermione exhaled and smiled again: "Everything is over-by the way, Ron will treat you to licorice sticks after he speaks out."
When Maeka heard this, she felt that her emotions were suddenly incoherent, and her original touch was suddenly destroyed.
He said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for him to treat me."
Hermione raised her glass again and clinked it with Meka, took another sip of pumpkin juice, and looked at Harry who was a little quiet.
"What's wrong, Harry?" She asked curiously, "Are you worried about something?"
Harry was silent for a moment and said: "Professor McGonagall said that they knew nothing about the mastermind behind this matter, and they didn't even find any trace of him - I think I should do something."
Hermione was stunned. She realized that Harry took all the blame on herself, because in the chat a few days ago, he told her that he thought the mastermind behind this matter should be Sirius Black.
And Sirius Black came to Hogwarts to kill him.
"This has nothing to do with you, Harry." Hermione comforted, "You are just a victim."
"But I feel guilty." Harry lowered his head and ate a piece of beef, saying silently: "I want to find him, find Sirius Black, otherwise he will hurt others again."
"But..." Hermione said anxiously:
"But Professor McGonagall also said after the Hagrid incident that we should be more obedient these days... And this incident is enough to show that Sirius Black is not contrary to his reputation. He is indeed a lawless person and he will really kill people."
Harry said dully: "Even so, I have to find him. It is better for me to die alone than to implicate everyone."
...
Meka came out of the hall and quickened his pace.
He couldn't persuade Harry. If it was normal, Harry would be easy to talk to, but now it involves the safety of the lives of people around him, he becomes a little stubborn, and the things he decided can't be pulled back at all.
It was difficult for Meka to explain the whole thing, because it involved the life-extending potion, what he did in Greece during the summer vacation, and why he had such superb magic.
So he gave Harry a suggestion: "Ask Ron how he and Neville were sent to the gate of the school hospital. Maybe he knows something."
And Harry's thoughts tonight also made Meka feel urgent.
If Harry didn't find Sirius Black, but found Boguna Rocco, it would be a big deal.
The reason why Boguna hasn't made any other noise until now is probably because he doesn't want to attract too much attention before getting the life-extending potion, and he didn't reveal his existence, which is the key.
But if Harry saw him with his own eyes, saw such a stranger here in Hogwarts, then Boguna's existence would not be a secret. He would definitely choose to kill Harry in order to continue hiding in Hogwarts and avoid being hindered by others.
For a killer, is it difficult to kill a person?
Meka is not capable of sitting around and watching his friends die because of him. This is determined by the values he has long established in his original world.
"Unfortunately, I have tried to use divination to find Boguna's whereabouts in the past few days, but I have found nothing..." Meka frowned.
He originally wanted to find Boguna through Peter Pettigrew, but now Peter Pettigrew is in his hands, so this simplest way cannot be used.
As for the divination method, you must have clues about the other party's objects so that you can further divine something.
But now, the things related to Boguna on him are: the first one is the poisonous leopard. He feels that it is dangerous, and it is not Boguna's private property, so he still lets it stay in the portrait space, and the second one is Bithia's portrait.
However, in gold coin divination, the related objects are destroyed if used. In that case, Bithia's legacy will be lost, so the portrait cannot be moved.
So in the past few days, he basically burned money to eliminate the other party's hiding places bit by bit. But there is a downside to this, that is, Boguna is not a dead person, he will change places.
So the place that was divined yesterday needs to be divined again today, which will burn money quickly.
But even so, after spending more than two thousand gold galleons, Boguna still had no news.
"Do we really need to rely on Peter Pettigrew to fish?" Meka thought, looking up at the corridor in front of him, where he and Boguna met that day.
The night was getting darker, and dark clouds covered most of the moon, with only a little moonlight falling.
The mottled tree shadows are reflected on the old corridor, swaying rustlingly.
The sound of light footsteps fell, and Meka suddenly turned around to look, and saw a ferocious black dog pounce on his head and bite him!
