A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 543: Draco Malfoy’s confession
"He did it," murmured Harry.
"Potter, follow me to the school hospital, you need to get a good sleep." Professor McGonagall said.
"No, wait, Professor McGonagall. I know what Voldemort has done and what he's been planning all this time! It's a wand, a wand in hand."
Professor McGonagall stared at him, with his mouth tightly pursed, and it took him a long time to say: "If you were talking about the 'elder wand', Professor Haip has already refuted the rumor..."
"It's not the one in the professor's hand." Harry said loudly: "It was too late, he got a wand from under a snake tree, it looked very extraordinary, just like a legendary wand... His voice slowed down, and his mind turned wildly: "It's the snake stick! He got Salazar Slytherin's snake stick."
Several people gasped.
"The seventh out of ten wands?" asked Ron.
"What? Oh." Harry said blankly, still immersed in his own thoughts: "Yes, this is Voldemort's purpose, he doesn't care about the Elder Wand...nor, of course he wants to, but It was too difficult to get it from Professor Haip, and it was not sure whether it was true or not... So he deliberately provoked disputes and made trouble for the professor, so as to cover up his investigation of other wands..."
Snape looked at Harry with a complicated look.
"But how did he know the location of the snake stick?" Professor McGonagall asked dryly.
"He has been pursuing similar rumors, and many people have disappeared." Sirius said: "For example, the owner of Florin's ice cream shop, we suspect that he was taken away because of this incident. He—— "
"He is a descendant of Dexter Fusco, the former headmaster of Hogwarts, and his ancestors have a legend of mastering a powerful wand." Hermione said sharply, and then took a cautious look at Sirius, " I just found out recently, right?"
Sirius smiled at her.
"It's all right," Harry hammered his palm with a fist, "he worked hard, and finally got the most suitable wand for him."
"Where did the Dark Lord go?" Snape asked abruptly.
"I don't know," Harry shook his head, "I only saw a building complex on a hill, which looks a bit like Hogwarts... By the way, there are two huge statues on both sides of the main entrance."
"The top of the mountain is similar to Hogwarts, and there are two statues at the entrance..." Hermione racked her brains to recall where she had heard this statement.
"That's right, those two statues are a man and a woman, but I really didn't notice it, no, Voldemort probably didn't care..." Harry looked at Hermione expectantly, hoping to get an answer immediately. After a few seconds -
"Ilvermorny!"
"Ilvermorny."
Hermione and Neville said at the same time.
Everyone looked at Neville, and Neville scratched his head, "Byers told me a lot about his school, including the tree you mentioned. As you know, I am very interested in herbal medicine class, so I asked a few more questions... But what I heard was different. Byers told me that the two founders of the school planted an unknown snake tree outside the school, which could not be cut down and destroyed. Later, people discovered that this The leaves of this tree have powerful medicinal properties.”
"I'll notify Dumbledore immediately." Professor McGonagall said decisively. She pulled out her wand, and a silver patron saint flew out from the tip of the wand, flew towards the outside of the school, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Harry was slightly relieved.
"So, Potter—" Professor McGonagall looked at Harry.
"I don't need to go to the school hospital," Harry said hastily, "I'm fine, it's happened to me before... Just take a break, or get some air." He made an excuse for himself.
Sirius cleared his throat: "Well - I'll take him out for a walk, it's nearby."
"Well, then, I'll tell Dumbledore all of this." Professor McGonagall said reluctantly, and she left in a hurry.
Others were also about to leave, when they suddenly realized that there was another person on the scene—not Snape, his sense of presence was too strong, just standing here unconsciously exhaled air-conditioning, and the other students were shocked. Scared off - it was the other guy hiding behind Snape.
"Draco Malfoy!? Why are you here?" Ron almost dropped his jaw in shock.
Harry and Hermione were breathless, and Malfoy knew it! He knew I (Harry) could see Voldemort's mind! He knew it, Lucius Malfoy knew it, and what about Voldemort...
The remaining five people figured it out at the same time. After a disturbing silence.
Sirius pulled out his wand silently, and Snape said slowly, "Give him to me, Black—"
"Go away if you don't want to get hurt, I'm not kidding," said Sirius.
"Really?" Snape put his hand into his pocket, where his wand was, and said expressionlessly, "You're still so impulsive and arrogant, and you don't think about the consequences at all."
"I know what I'm doing." Sirius said indifferently.
Draco took a step back in shock from his eyes, his face pale.
Snape stared at Sirius and said softly, "Oh? You know what you're doing... like in school, in the Screaming Shack?"
The muscles on Sirius' face suddenly trembled with excitement. He knew what Snape was talking about, they were rivals at school, and if given the chance to get the other expelled, they would never hesitate. Snape spent a lot of time following him and James, and even approached the truth that Remus was a werewolf for a while. Tired of being chased, Sirius impulsively told him where Remus had transformed, and no one knew what would have happened if James hadn't learned about it and pulled Snape out of the Shrieking Shack.
It is possible that Snape successfully escaped with the secret, and then preached everywhere to force Remus to drop out of school; it is also possible that Snape was directly torn to pieces by the werewolves who smelled human scent...
Sirius hesitated for a moment, but he looked at Harry, his expression firm.
He has already made a mistake once in the face of Pettigrew Peter, and he made a huge mistake, so he can't leave any hidden dangers.
"Just one Oblivion Charm... Snape, Harry... I can't take any chances," he whispered, baring his teeth, his eyes growing wild.
"It's better to wait for Dumbledore to come back before making a decision," Snape tightly clutched the wand in his pocket, "If our headmaster knows that you attacked students..."
"I don't care!" said Sirius frantically, several fiery sparks spewing from his wand.
Snape immediately drew his wand, and the two pointed at each other, just as they had done in the Shrieking Shack more than a year ago.
"But I do, Sirius," said Harry.
Sirius immediately turned his head to look at him, and Harry looked at him resolutely. After a long while, Sirius took the initiative to avoid his eyes.
James...
"I won't say it," Draco said suddenly.
Everyone looked at him.
Draco's face became even paler, and a few drops of sweat appeared on the tip of his slender nose.
"You lied!" said Ron. "If you leave like this, you'll sue! He's got a criminal record, remember? Buckbeak—"
Draco gave him a stern look, and he said to Harry, "Potter, I have something to tell you, it's very important...Only you know," he added.
Harry looked back at him, Draco's expression was terrified and his whole body was trembling.
"Okay," he said.
"Harry?"
"Harry!"
"It's okay, just listen to what he said first." Harry said, he took a deep look at Draco: "Malfoy, even if you don't do this, I won't let Sirius forget the curse on you, won't you Because believe you, I saw what happened that night with my own eyes... I just don't want Sirius to leave school because of you, because... it's not worth it."
A faint blush appeared on Draco's pale face, which almost pointed to his nose and said, I know your father is a Death Eater, so I don't believe you can keep a secret at all.
"Let's go too," said Ron, "Me and Hermione, and Neville."
Draco turned to stare at him.
"We stand far away, so we won't eavesdrop." Ron turned his head and muttered in a low voice, "Who knows if you'll take the opportunity to curse Harry."
Draco responded with a mocking sneer: "Yes."
They walked down the steps, and Ron, Hermione, and Neville followed them far away. Harry turned his head and could even see Hermione holding his arm. give pointers. Farther away, Sirius and Snape stood on the stone steps, neither looking at the other.
They walked a long distance, leaving the greenhouse and Hagrid's hut behind, and they were about to reach the main entrance of Hogwarts, and the wild boar's wings on the cast iron gate were looming. Harry finally got impatient, and he felt that it was a mistake for him to be here.
"How long are you going to hesitate?" said Harry.
Draco finally stopped, and he glanced at the three men who stalked them in the distance, making sure they wouldn't hear what he was about to say next. His lips moved slightly, and he said inaudibly: "I support Professor Haipu."
"What?"
"I said, between that person and Professor Haip, I support Professor Haip." Draco tried his best to keep his tone calm, but when he saw Potter's extremely surprised face , as if he was talking about the Arabian Nights, he suddenly became angry and wanted to punch him.
But he didn't dare to do this, and there were three followers behind them.
"Don't think I believe everything you say, Malfoy," said Harry.
"Okay, I can tell you a secret. You swear you won't tell anyone." Draco said reluctantly, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Harry blinked, "Okay, I swear."
"You answered too quickly! You have no sincerity at all." Draco said angrily.
"I have no time to waste." Harry countered, "You can choose to believe it or not, at least my reputation is much better than yours."
Draco's gray eyes were full of disgust, and he weighed Harry, which was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He had to force himself to think about a question: Is it worth it to give the secret to Harry Potter?
Draco took a deep breath ~IndoMTL.com~ Okay, remember what happened in second year, the Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk? "
"Of course I do." Harry said with a strange look on his face. Malfoy wouldn't want to say that he knew he and Ron used Polyjuice Potion to trick him, would he? That did get them into trouble, they broke quite a few school rules, and Hermione even sneaked into Snape's private storeroom and took the bicorn horn and the skin of the African tree snake.
"I used to own that diary."
"What?" Harry froze for a moment, not because of what Draco said - he already knew, Dobby told him. What he wondered was why Draco Malfoy told him this, shouldn't he just keep talking about it?
Draco's expression also became strange.
"I followed you to an abandoned girls' bathroom, and I was found... When I returned to investigate, you were gone. I only picked up a diary from the ground..."
"And then?" Harry asked, having discussed these things with Ron and Hermione.
"Something happened in the middle..." Draco said vaguely, "I handed him over to Professor Haipu, and Professor Haipu destroyed it."
"You handed it to the professor yourself?"
"Yes, I ask him to keep it a secret for me, I can't get involved with this matter."
Harry was stunned. He always thought that the professor had discovered the anomaly and confiscated the diary (Horcrux) from Malfoy. Son... But the truth is that Draco Malfoy handed over the diary (Horcrux) to Professor Haip himself, which led to the destruction of the first Horcrux.
This is ridiculous.
He felt dizzy, the surrounding scene became blurred, and his consciousness kept falling. His scar started to hurt again.
