The people in the tavern looked at each other in blank amazement, and then they quickly realized that the sound came from outside the house.

"It sounds like Katie's voice!" Afro quickly followed the group and ran out of the room.

They walked towards the sound with difficulty in the blizzard. The voices of Katie and her friends became more and more shrill and terrifying.

Afro could barely make out two blurry figures in the wind and snow; they seemed to be fighting over something.

The scrambled package fell to the ground, and Katie suddenly rose into the air, arms outstretched like a graceful swan. Her eyes were closed, and her face was expressionless.

"She looks abnormal!" Bryce stopped, reached out to grab Afro who was still moving forward, and frowned at Katie who was hanging in the air.

Harry, Ron and Hermione all stopped and stared at the scene in a daze.

Katie, floating above them, opened her eyes sharply and screamed, as if something had caused her a painful sensation.

"Let's think of a solution!" Katie's friend was so anxious that she jumped up from time to time and tried to grab her legs.

Hermione was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. It was a snowstorm, but her back was soaked.

"We need someone else to help, preferably a professor," said Hermione.

Afro looked around and saw no one else except the students who were watching the fun.

"You stay here, I'll go get some help."

She gave the order and ran towards where the carriages were parked. Harry and Blaise quickly followed.

Harry had never met anyone like Katie before, and he couldn't figure out why. So he could only follow the girl's footsteps and run forward quickly.

After turning a corner, he bumped into a huge monster.

"Harry! Hagrid!" Afro supported Harry, who was almost knocked into the grass, and looked at Hagrid, panting.

Hagrid was wearing a huge beaver fur coat, and his beard and hair were covered with snowflakes.

He saw Avro and Harry and greeted them with great joy, "I went to see Grawp, he's making great progress..."

Then he saw Blaise standing behind Avro, and Hagrid stopped talking. His caterpillar-like brows slightly wrinkled, "Uh... hello, Zabini."

Bryce's face suddenly darkened.

"Ahem, it's Zabini."

Hagrid nodded twice randomly, not knowing whether he remembered Blaise's name or not.

"Hagrid, someone over there is injured, and may have been cursed." Fortunately, Afro still remembered why they ran over, and spoke quickly.

The snow was so strong that Hagrid had to bend down to hear them. Harry had to repeat his words loudly several times before he could lead Hagrid back the way he had come.

When they returned, Katie had already fallen to the ground. But Katie lying on the ground seemed to be possessed by something, twisting and screaming.

A small crowd gathered around her, Katie's friends and Hermione trying to find a way to quiet her down.

"Get out of the way!" Hagrid squeezed into the crowd, squatted beside Katie and watched for a few seconds, then bent down, picked her up and ran towards the castle.

"Are you Lini?" Afro walked over to Katie's friend who was sobbing softly and reached out to hug her.

Lini nodded, sniffling and crying silently.

"Can you tell me what happened before?"

Lini sniffed and said with tears in her eyes, "It happened very suddenly. The accident happened as soon as the package was scattered."

She pointed to the brown paper packages scattered on the ground, the contents of which were glowing green.

Avro bent down and reached out to pick it up, but Blaise grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"Don't touch it, Aphrodite."

Harry squatted down and looked into the package, revealing a gorgeous necklace.

"What is this? I think I've seen it somewhere," said Harry.

"It is an opal necklace that was in Borgin and Burke's long ago."

Blaise looked up at Avro, grasped her fingertips and pulled them towards him.

"It's cursed. Your friend must have touched it."

"How do you know so much? Why do you always go to Borgin and Burke's?" Ron moved further away from the necklace after hearing what Blaise said.

Brace looked down at her, his eyes sparkling and a little aggrieved. His voice lowered, muffled, "Afro, look at him~"

Afro touched his head and comforted him while asking Lini, "How did Katie get this?"

"She came out of the bathroom with it in her hand." Lini said and burst into tears again. She covered her face with her hands and trembled with tears. "We were arguing about this. She must have been under the Imperius Curse!"

Afro patted her shoulder gently, still holding Lini in his arms, "We'd better get back to school and find out how she is now."

Harry wanted to wrap the necklace with the scarf to pick it up, but the moment he touched the scarf, he remembered that the scarf was given to him by Afro.

So he reached out and untied Ron's scarf, completely ignoring Ron's screams, and wrapped the necklace around it.

When they returned to school, Professor McGonagall was already waiting for them at the castle gate.

"Lini, Katie is in the school infirmary."

Lini wiped her tears, thanked Professor McGonagall, and hurried to the school infirmary.

After Lini left, Professor McGonagall turned her attention to the four of them, "Come to my office."

She glanced at Blaise who was mixed in the team with a headache, and asked a student to call Snape.

"What do you have in your hand, Potter?"

"What Katie touched."

Professor McGonagall exclaimed as she took the necklace from him, her expression becoming very nervous, "What on earth is going on?"

Ron and Hermione described the situation one by one, pausing several times while Aphrodite and Harry provided additional information.

"Why are you always there every time something like this happens?" Professor McGonagall asked in confusion.

Harry and Ron shrugged their shoulders and said helplessly, "We want to know too."

"Excuse me, can we meet Professor Dumbledore?" Avro stepped forward and stared at the necklace in McGonagall's hand.

The other party has already started to act, and they want to make sure that the other party can follow their script.

"I'm sorry, Campbell," said Professor McGonagall gently, "he's out. He won't be back until Monday."

For a moment, Harry hesitated. A dark figure flashed through his mind, and he seemed to know who gave the necklace to Katie.

"Potter, do you have anything important to tell me?"

Harry looked blankly at the slightly nervous McGonagall and opened his mouth.

At this moment, Snape pushed the door open wrapped in a black robe.

"I heard that my students were involved in a raid?"
