Chapter 92 Post-event investigation
·
He Dian Bai Kai Shui
"Have you heard?"
"Is that what happened? I've heard about it a long time ago."
"Then you must not have seen that scene, my dear, it was so tragic."
"I just heard that a little wizard was tricked by Peeves yesterday."
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" A third voice intervened. It was obviously a young wizard who was not very well-informed.
"For me, I know what's going on... You know Malfoy from Slytherin, right? He hid in the classroom on the first floor corridor to eat... and was discovered by Peeves. ..."
When Su Er went to the auditorium, he saw the little wizards gathering together in twos and threes and talking quietly, and the sound of conversation fell into his ears uncontrollably.
It seems that the castle was very lively last night.
Su Er raised the corner of his mouth slightly and continued walking towards the auditorium.
When they were seated at the Gryffindor table, Ron came over with a bright face and shared the news he had just received with Soul.
Good guy, rumors are stronger than tigers.
In Ron's mouth, it was already another version. (You can comment here.)
When Harry took the invisibility cloak that Soul gave him back, his eyes were very strange. Harry was a very smart little wizard. He borrowed the invisibility cloak twice, but the next day he heard that Malfoy was... He could guess who the murderer was no matter what.
Soul didn't want to hide his intention, and raised his eyebrows at Harry, the meaning was self-evident.
In the morning was Professor Flitwick's Charms class, which happened to be a joint class between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. After class, Harry couldn't bear it any longer.
"Sul, did you do that?"
"Yeah", Suer nodded.
Harry glanced at Soul in disbelief. The version he heard was similar to Ron's.
"You really...use that..." Harry looked up and looked around, lowering his voice, "Dark magic?"
"Of course not." Soul laughed, "How could I use black magic? I just used a petrification spell in the whole process and scared Malfoy a little."
Harry breathed a sigh of relief, "I knew what Ron said was really outrageous..."
"But you did a great job." Harry secretly gave Soul a thumbs up.
Soul raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Hermione who was sitting with Hannah not far away, and hummed softly.
"Who told Malfoy to use that word to insult Hermione?"
During the break after lunch, Professor McGonagall once again called Suer to the office. No, I should say, he called a group of people, including Suer, to the office.
Good guy, Soul had to lament Malfoy's ability to cause trouble. In just two years, he had offended everyone in the three houses except Slytherin.
In addition, there were the Dean of Slytherin and the long-haired man that Soul had seen in Diagon Alley.
It's Draco Malfoy's father, Lucius Malfoy.
Sule was not the last group of people to arrive in Professor McGonagall's office. After him, many more people came in one after another. These were all people who had been bullied by Malfoy or participated in the joint bullying.
Lucius Malfoy couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
In the end, there were about 20 little wizards standing in the office, mostly from the same grade and lower grades.
Since the first-year students did not have such powerful spell-casting abilities, Professor McGonagall simply asked them and let them go.
Soon, it was Sur's turn.
"Mr. Bones, don't be nervous. Where were you at eight o'clock last night?" Professor McGonagall asked softly.
"In the dormitory, Professor." Soul controlled himself not to look in Snape's direction, because he suddenly remembered that he had missed something.
In the original book, Snape is a master of Legilimency! !
"Can anyone prove it for you?" Professor McGonagall continued.
"Yes, after seven o'clock last night, I was a little tired from practicing magic during the day, so I took a rest very early. My roommates, Justin and Morn, can all prove it to me."
"Okay, I'll check with Mr. Finlay later." Professor McGonagall nodded and prepared to let Soul go.
"Wait a minute." Lucius suddenly said at this moment, which made Sur's heart skip a beat.
"Take out your wand and have a look." Sure enough, fortunately, Suer put the wand next to the bed last night and didn't bring it with him when he was doing things.
"This is against the rules, Mr. Malfoy." Before Soul could say anything, Professor McGonagall sternly stopped him.
"It's just a flashback spell." Lucius said coldly, "I think the flashback spell should be more able to prove Mr. Bones' innocence, and it won't waste much time."
"I asked my son. Just a few days ago, he had a conflict with Mr. Bones. I have reason to suspect that he was the one who did what happened last night."
"No, students are not prisoners..." Professor McGonagall shook her head and refused.
"It's okay, Professor." Soul said at this time, taking out his wand from the wand holster that Hermione gave him.
You can check it as you like. If you can find out that I used a magic spell last night, I will call you dad on the spot.
Although Lucius probably wouldn't be happy to have such a big boy all of a sudden.
Professor McGonagall's expression became much colder, her eyes were somewhat angry, and she took Soul's wand stiffly.
"If the flashback spell proves Mr. Bones' innocence, you need to apologize for it, Malfoy." Good boy, Professor McGonagall was angry.
(Warning for setting changes here. In the original book, the flashback spell requires two wands with the same core core to be used. The plot requires it, so I have changed it slightly here.)
"Of course." Since Lucius dared to say this, he had already accepted the worst outcome. "But if Mr. Bones fails to explain this, then he must accept punishment." Lucius was gloomy. Compassionately.
The implication is that he has basically locked the person who will do it.
It is true that Soul is the biggest suspect at the moment. After all, the relationship between Hermione and Soul can be known clearly with just a little inquiry. Although Lucius is angry that his son speaks dirty words regardless of the severity, he What can be done?
His own son was severely beaten and is still in a daze in the school infirmary.
"I always firmly believe that my students must be innocent." Professor McGonagall snorted and took out his wand.
"priorincantato (pre-flashback spell)" As the spell fell, the tip of Sur's wand ejected a white light, and then smoke formed in front of everyone, and images began to appear in the smoke.
The flashback spell revealed no record of Soul using magic at the time of the incident.
"Please apologize, Malfoy." Professor McGonagall returned the wand to Soul and said coldly.
Lucius' cold expression showed a hint of shock.
"This does not mean that Mr. Bones is indeed innocent." Lucius said harshly.
"Apologise!" Professor McGonagall emphasized again, and everyone present could feel the chill in her voice.
Lucius choked for breath, and a blush appeared on his pale face. He muttered for a long time, and finally said sorry to Suer.
"It's okay, Mr. Malfoy." Soul put his wand away and replied seriously.
"You can go, Mr. Bones." Snape, who had been watching the whole process coldly, said.
Snape's pressure-filled gaze made Soul suspect that he already knew the truth.
"What is the spell that resists Legilimency?"
"Is that what happened? I've heard about it a long time ago."
"Then you must not have seen that scene, my dear, it was so tragic."
"I just heard that a little wizard was tricked by Peeves yesterday."
