Chapter 356: End of the Discussion and Follow-up

"Okay, everyone, there's no need to ask the same questions again. Let's talk about what to do next." Dumbledore decisively interrupted everyone's questions and turned his gaze to Yang Tian and said, "Yang Tian, ​​tell me what you think."

Yang Tian took a deep breath and replied calmly: "This matter is obviously not that simple, and there are many mysteries in the incident that have not been solved. Therefore, the confessions of the three masterminds are particularly important. We must interrogate them thoroughly. In this regard, I think it is best to let our Yang family's professionals handle it. They are all masters of torture, have rich practical experience, and can find clues from subtle details."

Hearing this, Snape immediately frowned and said unhappily: "No family should interfere in the affairs of Hogwarts!"

Yang Tian blinked her curious eyes and asked back, "Oh? Is Professor Snape going to interrogate us extensively like he did several times before, only to tell us that we got nothing?"

Snape was so angry that he retorted loudly: "You... this is totally different!"

"How come it's not the same thing? Has Professor Snape learned new interrogation techniques?" Yang Tian sneered, not giving the other party any face. "Professional matters should be left to professionals. Just like when the Hydra appeared before, wasn't it the Five Idiots who discovered its image? At that time, no one said that no family should interfere in the affairs of Hogwarts."

Snape swore that he had never been so angry as he was now. He wanted to vent his anger and curse, but he really couldn't find any reason to refute the other party.

"Originally, I thought that this Hydra is a mythical creature after all. The antidote formulated based on it will surely shock the entire wizarding world and raise the status of Hogwarts' Alchemy Science. But now it seems that I was overthinking." Yang Tian suddenly sighed.

Upon hearing this, Snape's angry expression froze, and his eyes suddenly shone brightly. He asked anxiously, "You mean, you already have the formula for the antidote for all nine kinds of poisons?"

"Of course. Moreover, I can provide specimens of these nine toxins. After all, the Hydra is in my hands now. It is not a simple process of toxin and detoxification. It is the beauty of rejection and integration, the art of order and chaos. Only experts who are well versed in the art of potions can understand the true meaning. Alas, what a pity, I made a wrong decision." Yang Tian shook his head and sighed again.

Listening to Yang Tian's long speech, Snape's expression kept changing. Finally, he suddenly coughed and said, "Well, actually, I think Yang Tian is right. We are not professional interrogators. If we miss the opportunity due to our unprofessionalism, it would be a big sin. As a professor of potions, I should still devote more energy to potion research."

When the other students heard this, they all showed incredible expressions. The other deans were also shocked by Snape's statement.

"But we should also send someone to participate in the interrogation." Professor McGonagall hesitated. It must be said that she has always been a person who sticks to principles.

"Professor, I seem to have made a breakthrough in my recent research on Transfiguration in the direction of Metamorphmagus, but I still believe that meeting Ms. Nymphadora Tonks will play an immeasurable role in the research on Metamorphmagus." Yang Tian suddenly interrupted.

"Oh? Another breakthrough? Has the facial features been accurately restored? Don't worry, leave the meeting with Tonks to me, I will arrange a time as soon as possible." Professor McGonagall responded immediately, and the next moment, she suddenly reacted: "Well, that... Actually, it's useless for us to watch from the side, and it will delay the progress of the interrogation..."

"Xiaotian, I won't beat around the bush. Have you made any new discoveries in your exploration of the spells at points of texture difference?" Professor Flitwick was quite straightforward.

"Yes." Yang Tian answered straightforwardly.

"Really?" Professor Flitwick immediately became excited, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

"It's true." Yang Tian gave an affirmative answer again, his tone firm and confident.

"I agree to hand these people over to the Yang family for interrogation. They were originally captured by Xiaotian. What's the point of us taking them away?" Professor Flitwick, who had gained the advantage, immediately became righteous.

Seeing this, there was no need for Professor Sprout to say anything, Yang Tian had already spoken first: "Professor, I am currently working on a new project to study how to integrate some of the abilities of magical animals into plants. If this project is successful, it will be a completely new situation for herbal medicine. Of course, this project is very difficult, and I am still working hard on it..."

After hearing this, Professor Sprout's eyes lit up, and she said without hesitation: "I agree with the opinions of the deans."

Professor Dumbledore was at a loss whether to laugh or cry as he watched these dramas unfold. "Okay! You can take the person away, but if you have any news, you must inform me immediately. This is not just your business, we should all shoulder the responsibility together."

......

In the following days, as all the people involved were brought back to the Yang family residence in Hogsmeade Village by Mr. Xiao, the campus unexpectedly welcomed an unprecedented tranquility.

The rumor spread like a plague in the school, and almost everyone knew what happened that night. But the good news was that the rumor did not cause any negative impact, and was not over-interpreted. All the young wizards chose to remain silent, as if they had reached a tacit agreement.

Hogwarts has been in turmoil since the beginning of the school year, but now it is finally back on track and students can finally devote themselves to their studies. This change makes everyone happy.

Of course, Yang Tian was undoubtedly the happiest one among them. Familiar with the original novel, he clearly remembered the development of the plot. If it continued to develop according to the original timeline, the next victim would be Penelope, and then Hermione... Fortunately, before that, everything was resolved!

Since the three masterminds had been petrified, they had to be cured before they could be interrogated. However, the greenhouse was severely damaged, as if it had been demolished. Only a few herbs survived, and none of the adult mandrakes were spared.

Therefore, Yang Tian could only ask the Free Family and Mrs. Zabini to purchase it on his behalf. However, since adult Mandrakes are relatively rare, everything will take time.

During this free time, Yang Tian and his friends were also relaxed and happy to study and play. And such days continued until the Easter holiday...
