Chapter 468 Crazy! All crazy! (4K8
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! What happened here?"
Snape walked into the dining hall with several Slytherin students.
He came here after receiving a tip from the Slytherin students. If he were not shouting normally, as long as he stood here, these students would tell everything about what happened.
But the situation seemed to be a little different today, because no one in the restaurant paid any attention to him. Everyone was crowded in the foyer looking up at the notice board.
Snape suppressed his anger and prepared to arrest a few students and question them.
But before he could take action, a burst of screams broke out from the crowd in the foyer!
"Ten thousand gold galleons! Merlin's beard! I read that right! It is indeed a full ten thousand gold galleons!"
"Quick, quick, quick! Everyone, act quickly! This is a full 10,000 gold galleons!"
"Damn it, I've told you before, Senior Mike can't be an evil dark wizard. I will definitely catch that damn assassin to avenge Senior Mike!"
A Gryffindor boy who had just scolded Mike said this as he walked out of the restaurant.
Logically speaking, such a shameless statement should be despised, but now no one does it at all, because everyone is in shock!
This is shocking news!
Mike put a huge bounty of 10,000 gold galleons on the assassin!
For a moment, the crowd in the foyer became commotion. Many people gathered in twos and threes and walked towards the outside of the restaurant. No matter how slim the hope was, most people still wanted to give it a try. After all, the money given by Mike was really worth it. Too much!
Snape looked at the students passing by him in bewilderment. They all had enthusiastic expressions and hurried steps, as if they were rushing to attend a feast!
Out of curiosity, he also squeezed in front of the notice board, and it wasn't until he saw clearly what was on the notice board that he understood.
This is indeed a feast, a feast and carnival caused by a huge sum of ten thousand gold galleons!
But then Snape reacted. With a dark face, he stepped forward and tore the parchment on the notice board into pieces!
…
In just one afternoon, the news of Mike's bounty order spread throughout Hogwarts. Even if Snape destroyed the bounty order immediately, it would be of no avail. The 10,000 gold galleons made this news the most popular of the year. The hottest news from Hogwarts!
In the Gryffindor lounge, countless people were crowding at the door of a boys' dormitory.
But the strange thing is that these people are not all Gryffindor students, there are students from the four major houses.
The reason they came here was very simple, because the batsman who hit the Quaffle lived in this dormitory.
He became the most suspected person as soon as the reward order was announced. Countless people swarmed in just to catch him and send him to Mike to receive the reward. Many people even used force!
Fortunately, the seventh-grade batsman still had some real skills. He escaped to McGonagall's office while being chased by everyone, and was finally sent back to his dormitory. In order to protect him, McGonagall even helped him The bedroom door has a protective spell attached! Otherwise, these people outside might have broken into the door long ago!
However, this still couldn't stop everyone from gathering in front of his dormitory door, because these people claimed that they just came to him to understand the situation. There is no school rule in Hogwarts that does not allow students to visit the college lounge. This does not violate school rules. There is nothing Professor McGonagall can do under the circumstances!
Ever since, a rare sight like this appeared in the Gryffindor lounge!
"This is absolutely crazy!"
Harry murmured as he looked at the crowded crowd at the door of his dormitory.
"Who says it's not the case!" Ron looked up at the sky and said with a silly smile, "This is simply crazy! Mike actually put out a reward of 10,000 gold galleons!"
Harry glared at Ron dissatisfied and said:
"I'm talking about these people being crazy!"
"This is not surprising at all! This is 10,000 gold galleons!" Ron said as if he suddenly remembered something, and said to Harry, "By the way, the batsman named Allen was there afterwards. Did I tell you anything?"
"Of course! He said he didn't know what was going on! It was the Quaffle that changed its direction midway!"
"Tsk, tsk, I guess he must be hiding something! Harry, you must talk to him again. You are the Quidditch captain, and he will definitely agree to see you!"
"This is impossible! Just don't cause trouble Ron!"
"Okay then," Ron nodded disappointedly, then turned to look at Hermione, "By the way Hermione! I remember you were with Mike at the time, right? Tell me about the situation at that time?"
Hermione, who had been lowering her head on the side, finally raised her head after hearing this. Her eyes were red at the moment, and she looked as if she had just cried.
She glared at Ron with disgust and said bitterly:
"Ron, can you stop being so disgusting!"
Ron looked embarrassed and hurriedly explained:
"I'm not greedy for the ten thousand gold galleons...well, the ten thousand gold galleons are indeed very attractive, but I want to help Mike even more. After all, he is our good friend, isn't he?"
Hermione shook her head and continued to lower her head.
As Ron's old friend, she didn't believe a word of what Ron said before.
In fact, Hermione's mood was extremely bad now. As the person closest to Mike at the time, she was the one who knew best how dangerous the situation was at that time.
However, she felt deeply guilty afterwards, because she believed that if she hadn't been by his side, Mike wouldn't have had to fight the Quaffle at all!
You know, Mike has a house elf!
Thinking of this, Hermione's eyes became moist again. She wanted to see Mike now, but Madam Pomfrey refused all visits!
But at this moment, Harry nodded and said:
"Ron is right, Mike is our friend, we must help him!"
"Ha! That's right!" Ron jumped up excitedly, "Then what are you waiting for! Let's set off quickly!"
With that said, Ron stood up and prepared to go find the batsman named Allen, but he was pulled back by Harry just as he stood up!
"Are you crazy? Go find Alan at this time! The group of people at the door will go crazy!" Harry lowered his voice and said, "Let's wait until they are gone at night before we go!"
"Okay...but besides Allen, where else can we go to investigate?"
"Go to the warehouse and Quidditch pitch first. If there is really something wrong with the Quaffle, there will be evidence left behind!" Harry said and looked at Hermione again, "Hermione... forget it, you have a good rest first. Well, you look in bad shape!"
With that said, Harry and Ron stood up and prepared to leave the lounge, but before they could go far, Hermione, who had lowered her head and sobbed softly, stood up and said firmly:
"I am coming too!"
…
An hour later, the three of them finally realized how naive their previous thoughts were.
Now the whole Hogwarts is going crazy. The warehouse dedicated to stacking old broomsticks and various Quidditch balls has been visited by countless people. Not to mention the test balls at that time, there are even... Even the shabby old-fashioned nimbus brooms have been snapped up.
When Harry and the others arrived at the warehouse, Mrs. Hoch was jumping angrily in the empty warehouse!
Because she had no way to deal with those students, there were too many people.
The Quidditch field was also overcrowded at this time, and countless students were gathering on the field and in the stands, searching inch by inch.
Seeing this, Hermione closed her eyes in pain. In this case, let alone whether there was evidence, even if there was evidence, it would have been destroyed by these people unintentionally.
"Merlin's beard, don't these people have to go to class?"
Ron said as he looked at the people on the court in confusion.
But Harry did not respond to him. Instead, he shook his head and returned to the castle. He was going to search for information elsewhere. Maybe there would be unexpected gains from asking these professors.
But when they actually returned to the castle to find Professor McGonagall, they discovered that something was not right.
Professor McGonagall's face was as black as coal, and the muscles on her angry face were twitching continuously, because it was the time when the seventh-grade students were taking the Transfiguration class, but the classroom in front of her was empty at this moment. .
This is simply a shame!
Her McGonagall students actually skipped class en masse! This has never happened before!
The three Harrys looked at Professor McGonagall who was shaking with anger in the Transfiguration classroom and quietly retreated into the corridor.
They agreed that now was not the time to mess with her.
"Those people are simply crazy. They dare to skip Professor McGonagall's class!"
Hermione said in a lowered voice.
"I think that's understandable," Ron waved his hand and said, "You know it's a full ten thousand gold galleons! It's so worth being deducted or detained for this money! To be honest, if I had this If you have too much money, you may just drop out of school and go abroad. You know, the country is not peaceful now. As you know, it’s because of that man who can’t even mention his name!”
Harry and Hermione shook their heads helplessly and continued on their journey.
And as they visited more and more professors, their inner surprise became more and more intense.
Because almost all the professors were absent from class!
Slughorn's Potions class was like this, Professor Sprout's Herbology class was like this, and Snape was teaching a few Slytherin students with a dark face (all the students from other houses had fled) ), as for Professor Flitwick, he disappeared immediately. A Ravenclaw student told Harry that their headmaster Flitwick directly gave them leave, and he himself was with him in the infirmary. Holding Mike.
After exploring this point, Harry and the other three were no longer in the mood to talk anymore, but something even more surprising was yet to come.
Because they accidentally discovered that some professors of partial courses were also looking for the assassin!
For example, the female professor who teaches ancient magic texts is currently scanning the entire Quidditch pitch with a detection spell, trying to find some evidence.
Not only her, but other professors such as the astronomy professor and the Muggle Studies professor also took action and began to find the assassin in their own way.
And the most magical thing is that Trelawney, the old scumbag and well-known liar who was once hated by all students, has now become the most popular professor in Hogwarts!
Countless students crowded in her small attic to greet her, help her clean the attic, and even paid for her to buy illegal alcohol. Their only purpose in doing so was to hope that Trelawney could predict the identity of the assassin. .
Looking at Trelawney, who was shouting and arrogant, ordering students to do this and that, Hermione frowned in disgust.
She felt that the people surrounding Trelawney were simply stupid. If Trelawney, a big liar, could really divine the identity of the assassin, she would have caught the assassin long ago to receive the award. How can I continue to hang out here?
The three Harrys reluctantly returned to the Gryffindor lounge. Now almost everyone was going crazy because of the 10,000 gold galleons. In this case, they could not find any clues at all.
‘We can only ask Allen later. ’
Harry thought as he looked at the still crowded boys' dormitory door.
At the same time, the Room of Requirement was also very lively.
The twelve students who had been kidnapped were now being dropped into the air, and around them were dozens of members of the mutual aid association wearing black robes.
These people were actually awake, but they did not dare to resist at all, because as long as they made the slightest movement, the ferocious black man next to them would ruthlessly use the tickling spell on them!
Itching all over the body but not being able to scratch it was so painful, which made the twelve people present now very honest.
At this time, Zhou Hong was not idle either. He was questioning these twelve people one by one. At the same time, he also used his ability to detect if these people were lying.
"Zhou Hong, are you okay? I don't have much time left. If we wait any longer, Dumbledore will find us."
Hearing Dumbledore's name, several of the people who were hanging upside down instinctively raised their heads. This behavior obviously aroused Franklin's dissatisfaction, and he rewarded each of those people with a tickling curse.
"If it doesn't work, just use Veritaserum. We don't lack that stuff, you know."
As he spoke, Franklin placed a large bottle of transparent liquid on the table, which made the twelve people's bodies tremble. Veritaserum cannot be used well, but it will turn people into mentally retarded!
"It's over! There are no problems with these people, let them go!"
Zhou Hong clapped his hands and said.
His expression is a bit unsightly, and part of it is due to overuse of abilities, but the most important thing is that the reason why these twelve people have murderous intentions towards Mike is really weird!
One of the weirdest guys actually wanted to kill Mike because he was jealous of his handsomeness. This is simply insane!
Franklin waved his hand when he heard this, and someone immediately came forward and put the twelve people down and took them to the long table in the back, where they would sign an agreement, a confidentiality agreement.
"In that case, let's continue the investigation tomorrow, and at least conduct a preliminary screening of all Hogwarts students." Franklin glanced at the twelve people who were being forced to sign and said, "We must speed up the process. Even if there is a confidentiality agreement, Dumbledore will still find a way to cause trouble for us!"
"I know this very well!" Zhou Hong rubbed his eyebrows. He wanted to cry when he thought about having to work overtime tomorrow. "But what we did was probably in vain. After all, such a large-scale review of Occlumency It can be easily defended. So I suggest you do some more targeted investigations."
"Is it targeted?"
After hearing this, Franklin began to think deeply. He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the twelve people again.
Most of them are wearing Slytherin green ties!
