Chapter five hundred and fortieth eight investigation results

Generally, there are not many people in the common room after dinner in the evening, and most of them have their own things to do. But today, Ryan found that the surrounding area was a bit noisy after studying Shenfeng Wuying. After raising his head and looking around the common room, he realized that all the chattering here are sixth graders.

What got everyone excited was a new notice posted on the bulletin board announcing the date of the Apparition exam. Before the first exam (April 21), students who have reached the age of seventeen can sign up for special training in Hogsmeade (with strict supervision).

This matter has nothing to do with Ryan, because his birthday is in May, and no matter how proficient his apparition is now, he still has to wait for the second exam. Harry is the same as him, but Harry's exam time is later, and he will not be able to take the exam until July.

The worst luck was Ron, who was the oldest in this place. Age didn't give him an advantage when it came to Apparating, though, as he hadn't managed a single one in class. He is not as good as Harry in this point, at least in the last class, Harry successfully appeared in the wooden circle for the first time. After figuring out the danger of Shenfeng Wuying, Harry began to rack his brains to think about how to get Slughorn's memory. In yesterday's discussion, he had learned from Hermione that there was only one way to force someone to do what you wanted them to do, and that was the Imperius Curse.

But Ryan told him that at his level, it was impossible to control Professor Slughorn. So I don't recommend him to use this stupid way.

Harry had to admit that Ryan's judgment was correct. The person who has been the head of Slytherin House in Hogwarts for a long time is definitely a top wizard in the wizarding world, and definitely not an immature wizard like himself. Those who can be controlled with the Imperius Curse. Ryan, do you really have no magic or potion that can pry Slughorn's mouth open? After thinking for a while, Harry stood up and walked to the table where Ryan and Hermione were sitting. side asked.

Really not, Harry. Ryan said helplessly. Unless we can really control Slughorn, there is only a glimmer of hope if we take some irreversible and dangerous means— Speaking of which, Ryan's hand was slapped violently by Hermione.

Harry, don't listen to Ryan talking nonsense there. Hermione glared at Ryan and turned sideways to Harry. Dumbledore said that only you can get that memory, which must mean that you can persuade Slughorn and others can't. It's not a question of potting him or putting a spell on him. In that case, Dumbledore Professor Lido has already done it by himself, and he doesn't need you at all.

As time went on, the common room became less and less crowded. After Harry reluctantly closed the Half-Blood Prince's potions book, he realized that only he, Ryan, Ron and Hermione were left in the common room. Three minutes ago, Ginny finished her homework and went upstairs to rest, because this year Ginny will take the O.W.Ls exam, so she is also very busy.

At this moment, there was a crackling sound in the empty common room. Dobby appeared in front of the three of them, his jugshield hat on one side. Harry Potter said that he would often report Malfoy's movements to him, so Dobby came to see Harry Potter to report the results of his previous observations. Then you found me now because you found something? Harry asked eagerly.

Draco Malfoy's a bad boy! Dobby screamed angrily. A bad boy, he—he—

At this point Dobby shivered from the fringe of the teapot lid to the tip of his stocking, and then he rushed to the fire as if to jump into it. Fortunately, Ryan caught him quickly with his eyesight and hands.

After a few seconds of flailing around, Dobby relented and thanked Ryan. Thank you, it's still hard for Dobby to speak ill of the old master...

It's normal, you may need to get used to it, Ryan said after putting Dobby on the ground. Okay, if you have any new discoveries, tell them quickly, this is the key.

Is such that.

Dobby looked at Harry with wide eyes. Dobby didn't find Malfoy breaking any rules, but he was still careful not to be discovered what he was doing. He often took different students to the eighth floor, they guarded him, and he walked into the Response Room.

I should have thought of that earlier. Harry patted his forehead with the palm of his hand. Most of the places in Hogwarts will be shown on the Marauder's map. Only the Room of Requirement has never been seen on the map. I should have thought of this earlier. By the way, Dobby, you see Mal What did Fu do?

No, Harry Potter, that's impossible, said Dobby.

Obviously last year Umbridge and the others— Harry asked strangely.

That's because you had a whistleblower last year, Ryan said. The Room of Requirement actually has the effect of a secret room. Think about it, before being told, neither Filch nor Umbridge spent so much effort to find you. But now we don't know Malfoy What the room looked like when I went in, so naturally there was no way to go into the place he entered before to see what he was doing.

There's going to be a way, said Harry, looking confident, before bowing his head. You did a good job, Dobby.

Thank you, Harry Potter, sir! Dobby squealed happily, before handing a small leather pouch to Ryan. And Mr. Ryan Liang, thank you for giving me these magic props. Otherwise, I might have to follow Malfoy without sleep for days and nights.

It's nothing, this is what I should do. Ryan took the leather bag, and Dobby bowed to Ryan and left.

I think I know what's going on now, maybe I'll be able to catch Malfoy soon. Harry said a little excitedly. Just wait until the day Malfoy enters the Room of Requirement and block him.

Sounds good, but we still have too few people. Ron pointed out sharply. Don't forget that Dobby said that Malfoy brings different people with him every time. If Malfoy is gathering with a group of people inside, the few of us not only can't figure out what conspiracy he is up to, but also easily make him vigilant. .”

You don't have to worry about this. Ryan thought for a while and said, According to what Harry said before, Malfoy is carrying out a huge conspiracy. Even Snape didn't tell it. I don't think he will find someone in this situation. When doing something with a large group of people, you must know that the more people involved in a conspiracy, the more likely there will be problems.

Then what do you think is going on? Ron asked puzzled.

I guess it's Polyjuice Potion, Lane explained. That would explain what's going on. He should actually have been looking for Crabbe and Goyle before, but he just made them drink Polyjuice Potion with different people's hair.

Indeed. Harry's eyes widened suddenly. Malfoy is so cunning that he doesn't even want Crabbe and Goyle to be there to raise suspicion. And when we had our first Potions class there was a whole pot of Polyjuice Potion in the class, he It is easy to get the medicine you need from it.”

So the two little girls I saw with Malfoy before were Crabbe and Goyle? Ron said, laughing, God... no wonder they're not having fun lately... pretending to be girls...

But his laughter soon died down, because Ryan looked at him with a full face.

—Okay, let's get down to business. Ron scowled. Why did the two of them listen to Malfoy? They should have strongly resisted. It's enough for Malfoy to show the Dark Mark on his arm. Harry said excitedly. Official Death Eaters always have some appeal to those Slytherin villains.

Harry, what you need to pay attention to now is the most critical memory, which is the core of defeating the mysterious man. Ryan said while clearing the table. As for Malfoy, I believe that with the headmaster's control over the school, he shouldn't cause much harm.
