Chapter 171 Suspicion

When Vader came out of the maze area, he saw the Weasley twins leading the students to block the entrance, waving their arms and shouting -

"Protest! Protest!"

"Give us back the ultimate challenge!"

"This is the fruit of everyone's labor. The school cannot be closed just because it's closed!"

"We want freedom! We want justice! We want the ultimate challenge!!!"

A group of adolescent boys and girls mingled together without distinction between colleges. They chanted slogans one after another, which made the little animals outside tremble in fear and hide under the bushes in a panic.

Wade was surprised to see a few pearl-white figures among the students——

Most of the ghosts in the school came and for some reason joined the protest. Even Peeves and the Weasley twins were shoulder to shoulder, arm to arm, roaring together in an intimate manner.

Vader turned around, expecting the principal to say something, but he didn't expect that Dumbledore had disappeared.

Professor McGonagall stood in front of the students. The headmistress of Gryffindor pointed her wand at her throat and said angrily: "Jing - Jing -"

The extremely loud sound was like rolling thunder, like a majestic roar of a lion, the sound waves surged in all directions like a tide, and ripples appeared on the surface of the Black Lake.

There was a "dong" sound in the lake, and the big squid that had surfaced to watch the fun dived down.

The Forbidden Forest suddenly became quiet, as if even the insects no longer flapped their wings.

The wind calmed down, and the students covered their ears with stunned expressions. No one spoke anymore, and the surroundings of the maze were so quiet that it was as if they could hear everyone's heartbeat.

Professor McGonagall put down her wand and clasped her hands, looking dignified and elegant.

She looked at everyone and said: "A student was attacked by a Thestral in the maze. We need to suspend all activities and investigate the cause of the accident."

Fred bravely whispered: "We are not afraid of getting hurt..."

Professor McGonagall narrowed her eyes.

Fred immediately changed his mind: "No... I mean... we will pay attention to safety and not anger the Thestrals..."

"The Thestral was not angered by a student's rude behavior, it was fed a large amount of Chat Grass."

Professor McGonagall suppressed her anger and said: "This is a very bad behavior! No matter who is responsible for the prank, it is best to surrender to me immediately! Otherwise, if I find out who did it, he will be driven home!"

She glanced at some naughty students worth the money.

Most of the students looked at the Weasley twins, and of course some stared at some Slytherin students who had a bad reputation with suspicion.

The twins immediately raised their hands and said in unison: "I swear, it wasn't us, Professor!"

George added: "Chat grass is expensive, I know that, but I would never pay for it to do a prank."

No one believed Gemini's denial, but as soon as George said this, everyone believed it.

Weasley's siblings ranged from first to sixth grade, and two have graduated. Almost all the classmates know what kind of conditions their family has. Among the several siblings, from Percy to Ginny, everyone uses second-hand goods.

The eldest Percy and the only girl Ginny still had a few new items now and then, but the Weasley twins and Ron were like found objects, having been wearing hand-me-downs for several years.

Of course, Fred and George were secretly thinking of ways to make money on their own. Everyone knew this, and they also knew they had some savings.

But to say that they would spend a lot of money to buy an impractical grass, play a meaningless prank, and randomly hurt a student...

No one thought the two of them could be so stupid.

Percy glared at the twins fiercely, raised his hands, and asked seriously: "Professor, who is the injured student?"

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips. She didn't want to say anything at first, but after seeing the looks of the students around her, she finally said, "Harry Potter. He was scratched by the Thestral and was just sent to the school doctor's office."

Ron and Hermione in the crowd turned pale, looked at each other, and ran towards the school doctor's office.

With a "boom", a buzz of discussion exploded among the students, and many eyes turned to the Slytherin students.

In fact, even Slytherin himself suspected that it was someone from his own college who did it. They did not express their suspicions, but subconsciously looked at a few people who often insulted Gryffindor and advocated pure blood theory in the lounge. s student.

For example, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Theodore Nott and others who often had conflicts with Harry and others.

For example, senior Foley and Yaxley, etc.

So some Slytherins suddenly found themselves isolated by the surrounding classmates.

"Did you do it, Draco?" Pansy asked Malfoy in a low voice, and she said excitedly: "It doesn't matter, you can tell me and I will keep it a secret for you!"

"I wish I had taught that scar head a profound lesson!" Malfoy said gloomily: "Unfortunately not...I guess it was some idiot who did it."

He glanced in a certain direction, and Pansy followed and saw several Slytherin boys standing together with the same cold expressions. She couldn't guess who Malfoy was looking at just now.

"No matter what," she said to Malfoy, "I will always support you."

Malfoy nodded casually, still not in a good mood.

Of course Professor McGonagall also had her own suspicions, but without evidence, it was impossible for her to speak out.

She also gave some instructions and emphasized loudly that certain students were prohibited from sneaking into the maze at night (Professor McGonagall glanced at the Weasley twins again), and students who violated the rules would be severely punished.

The students dispersed with disappointment, and as they left, the Bowtruckles left and returned to the hedge.

"Can I keep it? I think it likes me and I like it too."

Luna asked Professor Kettleburn.

The old professor did not refuse directly, but said with a smile: "You can ask it yourself. If it is willing, of course I have no objection."

Luna was overjoyed and quickly asked the Bowtruckle for advice, but the little guy couldn't wait to get into the hedge, leaving only her behind.

"Oh...it seems like it doesn't quite agree..." The old professor stabbed him again with evil intentions.

Luna's eyebrows drooped in frustration. She stared blankly in the direction where the Bowtruckle disappeared, looking stupid.

"Um... do you like Bowtruckle?"

Rolf, who was nearby, saw it and came over and said, "Many people think they have old faces."

Luna glanced at him and said: "They are very cute. I think they are like friends. Of course, the Scimitar Snorlax is also very cute, but they will be bigger...I think."

"What is the Snorlax?"

Rolf was stunned for a moment, and instead of delving into the issue, he took out a small Bowtruckle from his pocket.

"You see, this is my friend Ajer, my favorite of all the Bowtruckles."

Little Ajer held Rolf's finger, and the two leaves above his head swayed slightly.

"It's great...it's willing to follow you." Luna said enviously.

"You can shake its hand." Rolf suggested: "It's easy to get along with..."

Fred and George found Wade.

"Hey, Vader, I have an idea..." Fred said, wrapping his arms around Vader's neck.

"What do you think?" Wade asked.

"You know the Disillusionment Charm, and we seem to be regarded as suspects by everyone -" Fred said.

"We're willing to take a small risk to clear ourselves of suspicion -" George said.

"It just so happens that we don't lack courage - dare to explore any part of Hogwarts -"

"There is a place that we have been curious about for a long time, but have never had the chance to sneak in... Ahem, explore -"

"Just in time for everyone to go back, you can cast a disillusionment spell on me and we can sneak in -"

Vader raised his eyebrows: "Don't tell me, you want to sneak into the Slytherin common room?"

"I knew you could get along with us!" George clapped his hands.

"Don't you think it's a good idea?" Fred also said: "Slytherin must have done this... After they return to the lounge, they will definitely not be able to help showing off -"

"As long as you sneak in and eavesdrop for a while, the truth will definitely come out——" George continued.

"What do you think?" Fred asked.

"not so good."

Wade walked towards the school doctor's office and said, "You have forgotten someone... Didn't Harry say that when school first started? There was a house elf who wanted to prevent him from returning to school..."

Fred and George looked at each other: "That must be some annoying guy...such as Malfoy...who sent his own elf to tease him, right?"

"That's unlikely."

Vader said: "If Malfoy could let their elf break into Harry's house to tease him, why hasn't he been killed by the remnants of Death Eaters for so many years?"

"I heard a lot of people got away with it. Isn't there anyone who wants revenge on Harry Potter?"

"Well..." George thought for a while and had a vague idea in his mind: "You mean..."

"I guess Dumbledore should have set up a very powerful protection spell or banishment spell where Harry lives."

"People with bad intentions couldn't find him, which is why he was never retaliated against," Wade said.
