Chapter 427: Suspected infection, contaminants revealed

After all the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic had withdrawn, the professors from Hogwarts once again explored the Honeydukes store.

This time they used detection magic to turn the shop inside out, even the cellars, warehouses, and the magic kitchen where candy was made.

Although the detection process is cumbersome, with the help of magic, it only takes a few minutes to complete.

After confirming that there was no problem, Professor McGonagall told the store manager: "You can open the business again."

The manager of the Honeydukes store is obese, probably because he is often exposed to candies, and he also has a sweet candy smell.

Other shop assistants also have a slightly sour and sweet smell, but the smell is not strong.

When the store manager heard what the professor said, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, quickly rubbed his hands and said:

"I am a good law-abiding citizen, and I will never collude with the evil world. I have no memory of getting into that batch of pollutants, and I don't know how they got in."

Professor McGonagall said with a cold expression: "But you must strictly control the customers entering the store, and do not let them in if they encounter suspicious people.

This batch of contaminants was most likely brought in intentionally by others when they were buying candies, and they were put into the store while you were busy and not paying attention. "

The store manager nodded hurriedly, thinking about how to prevent this phenomenon, with a look of pain on his face.

It will be Christmas in one month, and that's when the most tourists and business are the busiest. Everyone is open for business, so there's no way he won't let tourists in!

As for the suspicious people Mag mentioned, to be honest, many wizards like to wear strange accessories or wear strange makeup to show their personality.

There are many such people on Christmas Day, and there are not many of them on ordinary days either.

It is very difficult for candy stores to troubleshoot problems.

Lin Xia listened to them talking, and the smell of the store manager lingered in her nose.

When he spoke and made certain body movements, Lin Xia felt that the sweet smell seemed to get worse again.

She frowned slightly and suddenly asked: "Professor, can detection magic detect whether people are also contaminated?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was so quiet that a pindrop could be heard.

The professors all looked at Lin Xia, while Lin Xia looked at the store manager intently.

The clerk felt a tense atmosphere and subconsciously took a few steps back.

The store manager was so absorbed in thinking that he didn't notice anything yet. He listened with interest and responded:

"Yes, Professor. Is there any magic array or magic that can detect whether people carry contaminants?

I would like to put it at the door of the store so that everyone who comes in and out can be checked. If something is wrong, an alarm will sound, so that we can keep an eye out. "

If it weren't for the bad atmosphere at the scene, the clerk would have been fooled by the store manager's words.

They intuitively felt that this was not what Lin Xia was talking about.

The professors at Hogwarts collectively looked at the manager of Honeydukes, with a hint of deep meaning in their eyes.

Mag glanced at Lin Xia, and then took a deep look at the store manager, as if he was weighing something.

It was only quiet for more than ten seconds. When the store manager felt a little embarrassed, Professor McGonagall finally spoke.

She was responding to Lin Xia's question.

"The detection spell cannot detect whether there are pollutants in the human body, but a certain magic array can do it. It will take us a certain amount of time to deploy it."

After Professor McGonagall said these words, the other professors understood what she meant and immediately waved their wands, blasting out bright and colorful magic.

The half-open door of the Honeydukes store was quickly closed, and the store instantly became an isolated space.

The clerk didn't know what was going on. But the intuition is very dangerous, and the body is trembling.

Now even the careless store manager noticed something, and his legs couldn't stop shaking.

"You, what are you going to do... There is no problem with my store, I, I..."

In the extreme tension, cold sweat dripped down the store manager's forehead, and his eyes widened.

He finally understood what the little wizard meant. She was suspecting that they were also infected with contaminants, so it was him she wanted to test!

The store manager subconsciously wanted to resist, but as soon as he moved his fingers to find the wand stuck in his trouser pocket, three wands flashed before his eyes.

The professors stared at him expressionlessly, and Snape's arrogant voice echoed coldly in his ears——

"I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise you may not be left with a whole body."

A touch of yellow liquid suddenly flowed out of his trousers. The store manager was so frightened that he lost control and was talking nonsense.

"I, I'm innocent... I didn't do anything... It's not me, it has nothing to do with me... You framed me, you want to covet my shop, my candy..."

He once had a friend who was led to corruption by the evil god's ravings, and he saw with his own eyes how the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic forcibly escorted him out.

Later, by chance, he went somewhere and saw this friend.

My friend's body has been tortured to the point of becoming thin and emaciated, and he is dying.

Regardless of whether this was the result of being infected with the evil god's whispers, or whether it was the result of being severely interrogated by the Aurors... neither of these two results was acceptable to him!

As for the shop assistants, they were already shivering and squatting in a corner. They all hugged each other, as if they could draw warmth from each other.

In fact, my body was so stiff that I couldn't move.

-

This side of the Screaming Shack.

After some mental construction, Ron finally picked up the wand tremblingly and pointed it at the position next to his left arm with extreme caution.

But because his hand holding the wand kept shaking, his spells were always unsuccessful.

After several attempts without success, Hermione said impatiently: "Ron, if you can't do it, then let us use magic!"

Ron quickly shouted: "I'll do it! I'll do it myself, you don't need to do it!"

He could still control his aim by himself, but if it were them, and his aim was slightly off, he might not need to lose his arm.

"Get out of here, save me! Get out of here!"

A sharp roar suddenly sounded in Harry's mind, because the sound was so sudden and amplified, it caused a sudden pain in his head.

Harry immediately closed his eyes, covered his forehead with his hands, and his body was trembling.

Draco next to him saw this and quickly supported Harry.

For some reason, Harry felt much lighter after Draco supported him.

Harry couldn't help but urge: "Ron, please move quickly, I feel that thing is going to run away!

If it runs away, we may not be able to catch it, and it may also cause danger! "

Ron heard nothing, just the word "danger."

He panicked, and the wand in his hand stopped shaking. He recited the anti-invisibility spell at a fast speed, aimed it at the side of his arm and shot——

The green light shot forward more than ten centimeters, like a green ray.

I don't know if Ron burst out of unprecedented potential under tension, but the green light did not disappear immediately.

Under Ron's wild swing, several more rays shot out, almost scanning the direction of Ron's left arm.

Suddenly, a space not far away from Ron distorted, and something like a conch appeared.

This thing was very dirty and ugly, emitting a thick black aura. As soon as it appeared, everyone present was shaken and fell into a trance.

The music box held in Draco's hand suddenly started, and a burst of short, brisk, and bright music sounded.

Everyone's minds returned to clarity from a daze, and their sanity gradually returned.

Draco looked at the music box in his hand with a solemn expression.

What just appeared is definitely a pollutant, otherwise the music box would not react.

It's a pity that the thing only appeared for a moment, and then immediately disappeared after the music box was activated.

Ron was still waving his wand, even though his wand no longer emitted any green fluorescence.

Hermione said: "That's enough Ron, open your eyes and look. You have forced that thing out, but it disappeared again."

Ron opened his eyes and looked around, relaxing slightly, but when he heard what Hermione said next, he became nervous again.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

"What now, can I leave?"

Everyone looked at Harry again. None of them knew the condition of the item. Only Harry could tell from the shouts.

Harry covered his head and leaned slightly against Draco. He felt better this way.

There seemed to be something about Draco that mitigated his negative effects.

Harry closed his eyes again and sensed carefully, but the sharp and harsh roar appeared and appeared intermittently, and seemed to only sound at specific moments.

So now, Harry was not sure of its location, but judging from the last sound he heard, it was not far away from Ron.

Harry straightened his body and said cautiously: "Ron, continue to cast the spell on your left arm. I don't think it has left."

Ron nodded nervously.

Once is familiar, second is familiar. Even if he is not familiar with this matter, he must be familiar with it. This is related to his safety!

Just when Ron was about to make a move, Draco suddenly said: "My music box keeps ringing, and I feel like it is next to us.

If it shows up later, we can cast the spell on it together and force it out again with strength. We can't pin all our hopes on Ron. "

Draco looked at Ron again: "Ron, don't close your eyes from now on. When that thing comes out, you can hide away and come to us."

Ron nodded quickly.

Hermione wanted to ask something, but now was not the time to discuss it.

Hermione didn't think the spells they cast could harm the pollutants.

But she felt that since Draco said so, he should have found a way.

Ron took a deep breath, this time his hands did not shake, and he spoke the anti-invisibility spell clearly.

The next second, the tip of his wand once again fired a green ray.

Ron suddenly became a little nervous, his hands moved unsteadily, and he subconsciously waved to the left and right——

biu~biu~

Several more rays were fired from the tip of his wand, aimlessly, looking for any direction.

But he was lucky. The dark conch was hit by the ray again and appeared.

"Now, Ron, run!" Draco shouted.

Ron lowered his head and squatted down, turned over, turned sideways, and rolled to Harry and the others.

At this time, the magic spell that had been accumulating at the top of Draco's wand also shot out, aiming at the dark conch.

Being attacked by the curse, the conch trembled a few times, and its body had gradually turned translucent. Just as it was about to hide again, it was attacked by Draco and appeared a little more.

At this time, Harry and Hermione also attacked.

Biu! Biu! Biu!

Ron also wanted to wave the wand, but when he was just rolling it, his arm accidentally twisted, and there was a sharp pain when he raised it.

He could only put down his wand and cheer them on.

Ron observed it for a while, then said with a pale face: "No, even though it was attacked by us and it no longer hides, it doesn't seem to have become much weaker. Our spell has no effect on it!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Draco shouted quickly: "I have something else to deal with it. Harry, Hermione, you continue to cast spells on that thing!"

After finishing speaking, he took out a gadget that looked like a Muggle pistol from the traceless telescopic ring.

Ron stared at the gun, dumbfounded.

He has seen a gun.

His father's job at the Ministry of Magic was to manage the contraband flowing from Muggles into the wizarding world, and he would always secretly bring back some items made by Muggles.

His father would take apart items for analysis from time to time. Once he entered the research state, he would be so fascinated that he would not come out to eat for several days, causing his mother to curse, break the door, and go in to arrest people.

Before he came to Hogwarts, he had already seen the guns of the Muggle world from his father's workshop.

Ron was very curious and secretly hid under the cabinet in his father's laboratory and heard his father analyzing very excitedly:

"Why is this kind of item able to exert a more powerful effect than a curse? Unfortunately, it is not as effective as a curse, and it is very troublesome to use. It makes people's arms ache from the shock, and has a single effect."

Ron wondered, did Draco think Muggle items could deal with contaminants?

But soon, he overturned this idea.

Because the gun Draco is holding is not a Muggle product, but a rare item!

I didn’t see how he moved, he just gently pushed a button on the gun, and then pressed another button hard——

The surface of the gun immediately flashed with silver light, and a dense array of magic text flashed past.

As if being activated layer by layer, the magic text array moved from the gun handle to the barrel, and finally reached the gun tip. A beautiful flower composed of light suddenly bloomed from the gun tip.

If you look closely, you will see that this flower is the symbol that comes when the magic text formation is fully activated.

The flowers flashed by, but they gave off an extremely dangerous and powerful aura.

After the flowers bloomed, with a loud bang, a silver-white bullet was shot from the gun!

The bullet quickly approached the dark conch, but did not collide with it. Instead, it dispersed when it got close to a certain distance, turning into bright and bright fireworks.

The light of the exploding fireworks fell on the dark conch.

The conch seemed to have been hit hard, it instantly succumbed and fell to the ground with a "snap".
