Chapter 139

There were several professors in the crowd who were attracted by the exclamations. After the Slytherin Draco Malfoy finished cursing, they immediately frowned and wanted to speak out.

But then Filch came running from behind the crowd, shouting, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Let Jean! It's my job! Let me go!"

After shouting, Filch squeezed his way through the crowd and finally stood in the middle of the crowd in both directions.

However, he was stunned the next moment, and he saw the 'corpse' of his pet at a glance.

Like Mrs. Norris, Filch's hair exploded, and Cowen clearly saw the hair on the other's skin explode instantly.

Stepping forward and grabbing Harry Potter's collar, Filch gritted his teeth and roared, "You killed my Mrs Norris!"

Harry Potter immediately defended again and again: "No, no! I didn't...you listen to me..."

Filch's sanity was about to disappear, his other hand raised, as if to choke Harry's neck, and he howled angrily: "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill..."

"Argus!"

At a critical moment, Dumbledore's snorting voice sounded.

This sound made Filch's sanity return to its original position, and he immediately retracted his hands as if scalded, took a step back and left Harry.

On the side of the Slytherin team, the crowd made way to both sides, and Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Snape, and Professor Lockhart stepped forward one after another.

The blood on the wall was so obvious that Dumbledore saw it at a glance.

Without hesitation, Dumbledore immediately ordered: "Everyone go back to the dormitory immediately!"

When all the students quickly turned around, Dumbledore said again: "Except the three of you."

Want to escape, but can't escape.

The Harry trio paused nervously.

"And..." Dumbledore looked at the crowd: "Kewen."

Kewen turned around for a while.

Dumbledore tilted his head slightly and said to Cowan, "Stay and help."

Ke Wen nodded slightly and walked up to the professors against the crowd.

After the students were gone, Dumbledore looked at Filch and comforted softly: "Calm down Argus, she's not dead, she's just petrified."

At this time, Professor Lockhart, who had been in front of the 'cat corpse', suddenly opened his mouth and said with an annoyed look: "It's a pity that I wasn't there. I just happened to know the way to break the curse that could save her."

Hearing this, Dumbledore lowered his head slightly, looked over the frame of his glasses, and looked at the other person inexplicably.

Professor McGonagall and Snape also showed no signs of trust. On the contrary, the former's eyes were a little helpless, and the latter's eyes were a little playful.

Looking at the expressions of the professors, Kewen had a good idea. Obviously, everyone knew the details of Professor Lockhart.

In Kewen's memory data, there is an introduction about Professor Lockhart. Although the other party was a good student of Ravenclaw Academy, Lockhart changed after graduation.

Began to pursue fame and fortune.

With all his energies devoted to this pursuit, Lockhart began to neglect his own practice.

In the end, except for the 'Amnesia spell' that he used frequently, he returned almost all the other spells to the academy, completely turning him into a half-ass wizard.

Before Dumbledore planned to invite Lockhart to teach at the academy, he investigated it, and naturally knew the details of the other party.

Come to think of it, Dumbledore shared this with several other deans...

anyway.

Dumbledore was not in the mood to pay attention to the pretentious Lockhart, and he glanced at Mrs Norris again.

Then, Dumbledore said to Cowan: "Son, help take her to the infirmary and inform your Professor Sprout.

"

Cowan nodded, stepped over Lockhart, and then raised his hands to Mrs. Norris.

"Be careful." Professor Lockhart never forgets to show his sense of existence, and instructs Kewen a little arrogantly, "Don't break her."

Kewen opened his hands and turned his head to look at Lockhart with a blank expression.

At the same time, Mrs. Norris, who was hanging upside down on the candlestick, suddenly fell down slowly, and was finally gently embraced by Kewen.

Professor Lockhart was very at a loss when he saw this, and looked back at the other professors to find out who was casting the spell.

Apparently he didn't know anything about Cowen's wandless, silent spellcasting.

Too lazy to pay attention to the other party, after Cowen hugged Mrs. Norris, he turned to Dumbledore and asked, "Mr. Principal, is there no mature 'mandrake' in our academy for the time being?"

"Ah, yes." Dumbledore responded: "The existing ones are not yet mature."

"If I remember correctly..." Kewen said, "I bought a mature 'Mandela grass' on the third floor of my house before."

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Okay, you really helped us a lot, let's go."

Ke Wen nodded to the professors, then turned and left in the direction of the infirmary.

Looking at Cowen's figure that was getting farther and farther away, Dumbledore turned his head to look at Snape, and said somewhat mockingly: "Isn't it very proud? He knew how to correct the first time. to save Lady Norris."

Snape wanted to raise the bar to say something, but the corners of his mouth, which were usually slightly upturned, couldn't help but raise a higher angle at this time.

At this time, the unpleasant person appeared.

Suddenly Professor Lockhart exclaimed: "Mandela! Yes! I knew it! I just gave my mandrake to a fan of mine last week! Let her Go and unravel the petrification spell on your family!"

Dumbledore turned a deaf ear to the Harry trio.

With a look of trust in his eyes, he asked Harry Potter softly, "Harry, can you tell me what you found?"

"Maybe..." Snape answered, "They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Just as the Harry trio were amazed at Snape's protection for them, Snape suddenly turned around: "But they are indeed suspicious, and I don't remember seeing Mr. Potter at dinner."

As a gangster, he failed to successfully fight against Kewen just now. Now that he had a new target, Snape couldn't hold back, and immediately started firing at Harry's trio.

And Harry didn't know what to think, he actually concealed the real situation and made up lies to justify his innocence.

After listening to Harry's defense, Snape couldn't help turning his head to look at Dumbledore.

And Dumbledore, the 'Master of Divine Intent', stared at Harry inexplicably...
