Chapter 318 Investigating the Inside Story
Snape seemed very angry, his voice was low and stern, as if it could penetrate one's soul.
Obviously, he saw at a glance the spell Yang Tian used, which was the magic he invented himself. Although this magic is powerful, it is an extremely dangerous black magic. Once used improperly, it will cause fatal damage to the target. Professor Snape could never have imagined that Yang Tian would use this spell against his classmates, and in public.
Before Yang Tian could answer, a round-faced boy who had just besieged Yang Tian shouted as if he was extremely frightened: "Professor Snape, Yang Tian is going to kill us! Viljo is the first, and the next one may be me, and then everyone present!" His voice trembled, and he looked at Yang Tian with fear on his face, and his eyes were flashing with despair.
The rest of the people who participated in the siege seemed to be frightened by this sudden change, their faces turned pale and they were trembling all over. They followed the round-faced boy closely and hid behind the three professors, not daring to get close to Yang Tian.
Such a scene made the onlookers feel nervous. They looked at Yang Tian with shocked and puzzled eyes, and whispered to each other from time to time.
At this moment, Professor Flitwick, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked emotionally and firmly: "Xiaotian, tell the teacher what happened. I absolutely do not believe that you would hurt others for no reason."
Yang Tian smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone: "Teacher, don't worry, I know what's going on. The injured student seemed to have forgotten that we are now in Hogwarts, and actually used the Cruciatus Curse on me. I think it's not too much for me to teach him a little lesson."
"What?" Professor Flitwick cried out in surprise when he heard this.
"You...you are talking nonsense. Viljo would never do such a thing!" A thin boy who also participated in the attack on Yang Tian shouted angrily.
"Oh? Are you sure?" Yang Tian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked back with a smile.
"Of... course." Although the thin boy spoke toughly, his voice was obviously lacking in confidence.
"So what you mean is, if he really used the Unforgivable Curse, then the spell I cast on him was reasonable, right?" Yang Tian asked with a smile on his face.
"Of course, but...but how can you prove it? It won't work just by talking." The thin boy still said unconvinced.
"This problem is easy to solve. You don't even know the Flashback spell, do you? It's an investigative spell that can replay the spells cast by the wand before in a flashback form." Yang Tian said jokingly.
Hearing this, the thin boy's expression instantly went out of control, and anyone could tell what was happening from his panicked look.
Professor Snape looked at the thin boy deeply, then waved his wand and shouted, "Flash back to the previous spell!" A spell came out quickly and hit Viljo's wand accurately.
After being attacked, the wand suddenly began to vibrate violently. The next moment, spells were cast one after another in reverse order, and the first one was the Cruciatus Curse!
"I...we didn't know he used this magic. This...this matter has nothing to do with us." The thin boy was already a little panicked, and his explanation was so pale and powerless.
"Oh, kids, don't worry. It's better to check something like this." Professor Lockhart jumped out and said loudly, "This is also a helpless move to protect your reputation. After all, you still have to do such an unusual thing during this special period. If you can't clear your name, your classmates will be suspicious of you and isolate you."
“But…but…” The thin boy looked anxious and wanted to refute, but was left speechless.
After asking Professor Flitwick to take away all the little wizards who were besieging Yang Tian and acting as a human wall, Lockhart finally said again: "Okay, everyone, everyone's practice today is very good. I have just observed that everyone can now cast the Disarming Spell, which makes me very satisfied. Of course, you still have to practice more after you go back. If you also like this kind of duel club, please pay attention to the notice board. Today's party ends here."
As he spoke, he also gave a fancy bow, which drew applause from the little wizards watching...
Due to the previous incident, after the duel club meeting, the young wizards discussed with each other and left the auditorium. In the huge hall, only Yang Tian and his friends, as well as the two boys who had just been bullied, were left.
"Thank...thank you!" Dmitri thanked nervously.
"Don't be so polite. By the way, why did those people just now cause trouble for you?" Yang Tian asked curiously.
"Why else? Novikov and I just don't want to join that so-called mutual aid society." Dmitri smiled bitterly and pointed at the boy next to him.
"Please forgive my curiosity, but I really don't understand why you don't want to join the mutual aid group? As far as I know, most of the little wizards from other places have joined." Penelope suddenly interrupted.
"We are different from those people. They are all members of ancient families, but we have only a few generations of blood. The hat of half-blood wizard is firmly worn, so how can we have such a deep foundation as them? We have always been at the bottom of Durmstrang. We are very happy to come to Hogwarts. We finally don't have to be oppressed by them. We really just want to study hard here. But what is the so-called mutual aid club for? Isn't it just for fighting each other? This is meaningless to me." Maybe Dmitri had been holding it in for too long, and at this moment he seemed to have opened a chatterbox and couldn't stop.
"If you don't join the mutual aid society, aren't you afraid of being excluded and bullied?" Hermione asked puzzledly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Of course we are afraid, but we hate joining any mutual aid society even more. If a fierce conflict really breaks out for this reason, what if we are expelled from Hogwarts? Being excluded and bullied is better than being in Durmstrang, right? At least, we can borrow all the books in the library except those in the restricted area, right?" Novikov interjected indignantly.
"What? In Armstrong, you can't go to the library to read books?" Neville asked in surprise.
"Of course not. Durmstrang is a school with strict hierarchy. They do not accept Muggle-born students, and they treat half-blood wizards very badly. The library is divided into slums, noble areas, and forbidden book areas. We half-bloods can only see half of the entire library's collection, and those are low-level ones..."
Hearing this, all the friends were shocked...
