Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Compared with Hermione's doubts and guesses, Aiwen can be sure what's going on, and it's another poisoning and assassination case full of loopholes.

It can only be said that Ron is too unlucky, why is it always him who is unlucky?

As far as he was concerned, the two poisonings in succession were coincidences, and if he hadn't taken the love potion by mistake or hadn't happened to be at breakfast time, he wouldn't have come to Slughorn for help, and he wouldn't have touched the bottle of poisoned wine .

That bottle, maybe Slughorn would drink it himself, or bring it out at the next Slug Club gathering.

Anyway, Ron would not be the one who was poisoned in the end. Fortunately, he was fine.

As for Slughorn giving the wine to Dumbledore, Ivan thinks it is unlikely.

The headmaster preferred desserts, not oak-aged mead, and he hardly ever drank with Slughorn.

Having said that, regardless of Ron's misfortune or luck, Malfoy really cannot be allowed to go on like this. His third-rate assassination methods will only cause accidental injuries. I believe that after this incident, even if Ivan doesn't say it, Dumbledore Something should also be done.

"So the poison was in the wine?"

"Yes," said Harry, "Slughorn took it off the table..."

"Did he put something in Ron's glass when you weren't looking?" Fred asked suddenly.

"It's possible!" Harry said uncertainly, "but why did Slughorn poison Ron?"

"I don't know." Fred frowned. "Do you think it's possible that he mixed up the cups? Was he trying to hurt you?"

"Why did Slughorn poison Harry?" Ginny asked.

"I don't know, I'm just guessing." Fred said, "But there must be a lot of people who want to poison Ivan and Harry, right? The newspapers are talking about them every day, especially Harry, Saviour, those Death Eaters would love to have you poisoned."

"So, you think Slughorn is a Death Eater?"

"Anything is possible," said Fred darkly.

"He's probably under the Imperius Curse," interrupted George.

"Don't guess, Slughorn is innocent." Ivan said in a deep voice, pulling the topic back in time, "He is a very smart and powerful wizard, it is impossible for him to be hit by the Imperius Curse, let alone It couldn't be a Death Eater, and if he wanted to poison Harry, he wouldn't make it so obvious, he had plenty of opportunities."

"You said, is it possible that the poison was put in a wine bottle? In this way, the original poisoning target may be Slughorn himself."

"But who would want to kill Slughorn?"

This is the same as poisoning Ron specifically, it is meaningless at all.

Of course, things were a little different, Slughorn was much more important than Ron after all.

"I remember, Dumbledore said that Voldemort wanted to pull Slughorn over." Harry said, looking at Ivan, "Slughorn had been hiding for a year before coming to Hogwarts, Also, maybe Voldemort would want to get rid of him, thinking he might be of value to Dumbledore."

"Oh, there is such a thing." Ivan nodded and said, "Slughorn was the dean of Slytherin College at the time, and Voldemort was his student. He knew a lot about Voldemort's past when he was studying, including Some things Voldemort doesn't want people to know, and Voldemort would certainly be willing to kill him if given the chance."

"Even if Voldemort wants to kill Slughorn, it sounds ridiculous to rely on sending a bottle of poisoned wine."

"Of course Voldemort would not do this kind of thing himself. Someone else sent Slughorn the poisoned wine. It's the same as what happened to Katie last time. This is a bad murder." Hermione analyzed, the more Fa affirmed his guess, "Harry, I remember you said just now that Slughorn wanted to give Dumbledore wine as a Christmas gift, but it failed in the end, so the poisoning incident started on Christmas Day." Before and after, sending gifts at that time will not cause suspicion. It has been so long, and there is no way to track it, but obviously, the poisoner doesn't know much about Slughorn. Those who know him know that he probably put a good I keep everything I eat, so..."

"Uh, uh, uh!" Ron yelled suddenly hoarsely.

Hermione stopped the analysis hastily, and everyone looked at him worriedly, but Ron started snoring again after screaming a few times.

The next second, the door of the ward opened suddenly, and they were all startled.

Hagrid strode in, rain in his hair, bearskin coat flapping behind him, crossbow in hand, making muddy footprints the size of dolphins on the ground.

"In the woods all day!" he gasped. "Little Gramp doesn't like rainy days. He's been making a lot of noise lately, and Aragog is getting worse. I want to read something to them." Just got back from dinner and Professor Sprout told me about Ron! How is he?"

"Fortunately, Madam Pomfrey said he'll be fine."

"I can't believe it!" said Hagrid gruffly, looking down at Ron, shaking his big, unkempt head. "I just can't believe it, seeing him lying there . . . Now, who would want to hurt him?"

"That's exactly what we're talking about," Harry said.

"We all felt that no one would want to hurt Ron, he would be poisoned just because of bad luck." Ivan replied.

Although he has said it many times before, he still has to say with emotion that Ron is really unlucky.

Take a look at his tragic experience in the past few years. Does anyone know why he has been so unlucky?

Also, will this misfortune continue forever?

Chapter 1434 It's Lucky to Meet You

"Just being unlucky can't be poisoned, Ivan, let me see, it's not someone who has trouble with the Gryffindor Quidditch team?" Hagrid said worriedly, "First it was Katie, now it's Ron... ..."

Ivan stared at Hagrid. This kind of speculation is even more absurd. There are really all kinds of possibilities.

According to this logical reasoning, it might be Elaine who was attacked next. Since she won the last game, she is now a popular batsman in Gryffindor, but unless it is a frontal attack, Ivan really can't think of it. How to make that girl hurt.

First of all, in terms of food, Elaine can only drink dragon's blood and Ivan's blood, um, and there are those bloody lollipops with weird flavors. Poison is basically impossible; secondly, regarding all kinds of black magic items, Elaine is very vigilant and will not easily touch any suspicious objects.

As for attacking Elaine directly, Ivan felt that no student could easily defeat her.

Although she is thin and weak, she is a veritable vampire with strong magical power and violent tendencies.

It's pretty good if she doesn't attack others, and Aiwen is often attacked by her at night...

Thinking of this, he said, "Hagrid, no one wants to kill a Quidditch team. It doesn't make sense."

"Not necessarily, someone will still do it." George said.

"Yes, Wood might have done that to Slytherin if he didn't get punished," said Fred fairly.

"But he will not poison, but will rush over and take them..."

"Okay, you guys, this has nothing to do with Quidditch, let's continue with my analysis just now." Hermione said softly, "I said, like what happened to Katie last time, this is a lame murder , I think there is a connection between the two incidents."

"What's the reason?" Everyone looked at Hermione, waiting for her analysis.

"First, it should have been fatal twice, but it didn't, even though it was pure luck. Second, neither the poison nor the necklace harmed the intended victims. Of course..." She mused, "Look at it this way The person behind the scenes is even more insidious, because they don't seem to care how many people they kill in order to attack the real target. Third, regarding the matter of Katie, Ivan and I have actually had..."

Just like when Hagrid entered, her analysis was interrupted once again.

The door of the ward opened, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley hurried to the bed.Their last visit had been to make sure Ron was fully recovered and had been invited to Dumbledore's office, and now Mrs. Weasley had come over and grabbed Harry and hugged him tightly.

"Harry, Dumbledore told us you saved him with the bezoar," she sobbed. "Oh, Harry, what shall we say? You've saved Ron so many times before that I just..."

Mrs. Weasley was so excited, talking about Harry saving Ron.

"Thank you on Ron's behalf, Harry," said Mr. Weasley, wiping the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand. "All I can say is that Ron decided to sit in your compartment on the Hogwarts Express. What a lucky day."

Harry didn't know how to answer, but fortunately Madam Pomfrey came out to warn that there were too many visitors and covered up his embarrassment.

Alvin, Harry, and Hermione got up to leave, and Hagrid decided to go with them, leaving Ron to stay with his family.

"It's terrible!" Hagrid blew on his big beard and trembled, and the four of them walked along the corridor to the marble steps, "After so many new security measures are taken, children continue to be injured. Dumbledore is worried. He doesn't say much, but I can see that..."

"Well, doesn't he have an idea?"

"I think he's got hundreds of ideas, a brain like that," said Hagrid faithfully, "but he doesn't know who sent the necklace, who poisoned the drink, or he'd have caught them a long time ago. is not it?"

Of course Dumbledore knew, but he couldn't simply expose Malfoy.

It is easy to do so, but for Draco Malfoy, it means the failure of the mission. If so, his end will be very miserable. The best result will be to spend the rest of his life in Azkaban, the wizard prison. To Voldemort...

Voldemort would have brutally killed him, and that would be a good reason to punish the Malfoys.

He would definitely have done that if he knew his diary had been destroyed.

Of course, Malfoy can't be allowed to succeed. Dumbledore probably doesn't want to die yet, and he doesn't want Malfoy to degenerate.

Thinking along this line of thought, Ivan felt that Voldemort asked Malfoy to perform this impossible task, not only to punish Lucius Malfoy for failing in succession tasks, but also to understand Dumbledore's character, which is really quite despicable.

It seems to be a test for Malfoy, but it is not the case for Dumbledore.

It's hard to choose no matter what, whether it's simply stopping Malfoy or letting him go, it's not a good result...

Hagrid sighed for a while, then looked back to make sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation, and said in a low voice, "Well, what I'm worried about now is that Hogwarts will still be okay with kids like this going on. How long will it take. Remember? Isn’t this like a secret room incident again? It will cause panic, parents take their children out of school, and then the board of directors..."

The ghost of a long-haired girl drifted past peacefully, and Hagrid paused, then whispered hoarsely, "The board will discuss shutting us down."

"No?" Hermione asked worriedly.

"Trust me, they'd love to do it. You'll have to look at it from their point of view," said Hagrid heavily. "There's always some risk in sending kids to Hogwarts, isn't there? Hundreds of underage Accidents are bound to happen when wizards are locked together, isn't it? But murders are of a different nature, no wonder Dumbledore is so mad at Sneak..."

Hagrid stopped suddenly, with a familiar guilty expression on the face exposed between the shaggy black beard.

"What?" Harry asked quickly, "Dumbledore mad at Snape?"

"I didn't say that." Hagrid denied, but his terrified look was the most powerful revelation, "Look at the time, it's twelve o'clock in the morning, it's already here, you three go back to sleep quickly, I still have to go……"

"Hagrid, why is Dumbledore angry with Snape?" Harry asked loudly, his voice echoing in the corridor.

"Keep down, Harry!" Ivan pulled Harry. He and Hagrid were really like each other, and things could happen at any time.

"I don't care, tell me, Hagrid, why is Dumbledore angry with Snape?" Harry asked aloud again.

"Come on, come on!" said Hagrid, looking tense and annoyed, "please, don't yell that, you want me to lose my job? Oh, I guess you don't care, do you, you've given up anyway In order to protect the magic..."

"Don't make me feel guilty, it's no use!" said Harry sharply. "What did Snape do?"

"I don't know, Harry, I shouldn't have heard it at all! I, alas, I came out of the woods the other day and heard them talking and arguing. I didn't like to be noticed, so I sneaked behind and tried to No, but it was a, um, intense discussion, both of them were very loud, you know, it's not easy not to listen..."

Chapter 1435 Lively Hogwarts

Hagrid faltered, and his big feet moved uneasily.

What did he hear?

Hagrid's appearance made Ivan also a little curious.

"Say it?" Harry urged.

"Well, I heard Snape say that Dumbledore took it for granted, and maybe he, Snape, didn't want to do it anymore."

"What else?"

"I don't know, it sounds like Snape thought Dumbledore was giving him too much work, that's all, but, Dumbledore said straight up that Snape agreed to do it, there's nothing to say, it's fine with him Tough, and then he asked Snape to investigate his house, Slytherin house. Heh, it’s nothing strange!” Hagrid seemed to think that this sentence was easily misunderstood, and hurriedly said, “As far as I know, all The dean of the academy wants to investigate the necklace."

"The headmaster suspected that someone among the students had done this while investigating the necklace in the college." Hermione murmured, "And this time, the person who delivered the wine to Slughorn is in the school. Alvin and I discussed it last time, and we thought..."

"Malfoy did it!" Harry said without hesitation, as if he knew about it all along.

There was no need to discuss it at all, as long as this kind of thing happened in school, Harry could guess who it was based on how he felt.

Looking at Harry's expression, Ivan thought for a while, and felt that it would be better to simply admit that there was no point in continuing to conceal it.

Anyway, nothing could change Harry's mind: Malfoy or Snape were responsible for the bad things that happened at school.

Besides, why hide it from Harry? !

In fact, as long as Harry doesn't do anything impulsively, Ivan still prefers to tell him everything.

"Malfoy must have done it," said Harry, "thinking about the conversations I overheard on the train at the beginning of term, and the conversations I had during my Apparition practice, all evidence that Malfoy was sneaking around the school Do something bad, I've been monitoring him closely for a long time, he's behaving erratically, he..."

"Okay, Harry, we also believe that Malfoy did it." Ivan said.

"What?!" Harry was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Ivan to support his idea, "Ivan, do you also believe that the murderer is Malfoy?"

"Yes, I thought so when Hermione and I discussed it last time." Ivan said, "You see, the person who will do these things at this time is undoubtedly a Death Eater, although Death Eaters are not good. However, they are the elites of Voldemort’s dark army after all. Not just any wizard is eligible to join. Voldemort will not easily recruit underage wizards. Currently, students in the college who are eligible to become a Death Eater, except Besides Malfoy, I can't think of anyone else."

"Malfoy is a Death Eater, he said." Harry said excitedly, "Now that we can be sure that he did this, what are we going to do?"

"I think it's best not to do anything. It's impossible for Dumbledore not to know what we all know." Ivan said, he was afraid that Harry would act hastily after knowing this. "He must have Your own plan, remember how he answered the last time you mentioned this to him? Dumbledore told us to leave it alone."

"He'd rather trust Snape than us," said Harry. "I think Dumbledore might be..."

"What the hell are you talking about!" Hagrid said uneasily, only to react from the shock caused by Ivan's words, he kept looking around to make sure that no one else was around, while pulling the crossbow awkwardly , with a bang, the crossbow broke in half, "Listen, Ivan, Harry, Hermione, I know what you three think of Snape and Malfoy, and I admit that people like them are simply It's terrible, but they can't be Death Eaters, Dumbledore is willing to believe them, so I don't want you to suspect things that don't exist, what you say is impossible, I would rather believe that someone wants to correct The Gryffindor team do it..."

"Careful!" said Hermione hastily.

They turned to see Argus Filch's shadow cast on the wall behind them.

Then he himself came out of a corner, his back bent, his chin quivering.

"Oh ho, I've caught you!" He said wheezingly, "If you don't go to bed so late, you're in confinement!"

"No, Filch," said Hagrid quickly, "they're with me, aren't they?"

"What's the difference?" Filch asked obnoxiously. "What right do you have to take students wandering around the castle in the middle of the night?"

"Of course I'm qualified, I'm a teacher, aren't I? You sneaky Squib!" Hagrid was furious.

Filch flew into a rage, hissing horribly.

Mrs. Norris had arrived at some point, coiling around Filch's thin ankle like a snake.

This cat, since he was stared at by the basilisk a few years ago, has become more and more weird!
