The Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts is always up for business

0207 Only One Truth

"Ani, come and see."

Professor Sprout anxiously stretched this capable junior who was loved by her, and dragged him into the middle of the crowd.

Dumbledore, McGonagall, Flitwick, Snape, Babbling, Victor, Kettleburn...

Almost all the principals, deans, and professors of majors and elective courses were present at the scene. Under the distortion of the torch, the shadows reflected on the wall seemed to be dancing with demons, which seemed to indicate some ominous omens.

Sure enough, it looked like the newborn badger was curled up and sobbing non-stop. Not far away, another student sat stiffly on the ground, his whole body was so stiff that he had no breathing ups and downs.

It's bourbon.

Aini's heart sank. After all, something unexpected happened, but the problem is that little Tom should be racking his brains to "rescue" the basilisk. Why did he jump out and attack the students when he had no guarantee before that?

Or is it someone else who did it?

Peter?

Aini knelt down to check on Bourbon's situation, various thoughts kept swirling in his mind.

Not Peter.

While drawing a conclusion, Aini also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because there were too many people on site, the smell in the air was very mixed, but when he got close to Bourbon's stiff body, he still caught the smell that was escaping from it.

After the inspection, Aini straightened up and met Snape's gaze. The latter nodded slightly, and the two potions masters reached a consensus tacitly.

Petrochemical potion, a potion with an ordinary name but very powerful effect.Its effect is similar to directly looking at the basilisk, it can petrify the user, and it is also in line with Bourbon's current state.

This is also the reason why Peter's suspicion is ruled out. Maybe he can use some spells without the wand, but without the venue and raw materials, it is simply impossible to brew petrochemical potions.

"Poor child, it wasn't long before Moore stopped serving food when he came here. I shouldn't have let Susan watch him lose weight. Bourbon must have gone to the kitchen to get food because he wasn't full."

Professor Sprout choked up and said, Ernie saw two teardrops slipping down her face, obviously what happened to Bourbon made the fat dean very sad, and she kept blaming herself.

At this time, the boy who was also slumped on the ground, that is, Moore who was the first to come to the scene mentioned by Pomona just now, also stood up after seeing Aini.

For more than a year, Aini has been very popular among the students, especially the junior students, and compared with the sad and bewildered look of the dean who is also close to him, the former looks much calmer.

So Moore, as if seeing a savior, sobbed and said to Aini: "I slept in the dormitory today and didn't catch up with dinner, so I wanted to go to the kitchen to get something to eat, but when I got here, I saw Bourbon lying on the ground .Professor, Bourbon is not dead, is he?"

The boy looked at Aini with wide red and swollen eyes, afraid of getting a negative answer.Moore couldn't understand that Senior Bourbon was so good, how could anyone have the heart to kill him?

"Don't worry, it's just ordinary petrification, it can be cured easily, but it may take some time."

Aini shook the boy's shoulders and handed him a pack of tissues by the way.

"Minerva, Pomona, send the two children to the school infirmary first..."

After arranging two victims of varying degrees, Dumbledore was about to greet Ernie and Snape to leave with him.

"Aha, is everyone gathering here? It's so sad that no one informed me."

With a disgustingly pompous tone, Lockhart squeezed in, waving his wand.

"Oh~ Poor little fat man, he must have suffered a lot during his lifetime, but unfortunately I wasn't there at the time, otherwise..."

Lockhart turned around Bourbon, but there was no trace of regret in his tone.

"Shut your crow's mouth, Bourbon is still alive, please step aside now, I'm going to take him to the school infirmary."

Professor Sprout, who had always shown a gentle image, angrily interrupted someone's trash talking, stretched out his chubby arms, and Lockhart staggered and slammed into the wall behind him.

Immediately, the crowd parted a gap, and a certain face that had been carefully groomed just now fiercely "kissed" the wall.

No one came to help him, and no one greeted him.

Aini's pupils narrowed slightly, and he looked at Snape again, while the other party frowned and fluttered his nostrils, as if he was also discerning a certain smell.

Knowing that the students' lives were not in danger, the professors left one after another, and McGonagall and Sprout also took the two students to the school hospital.

After the people left, Aini found the blood-red writing on the wall.

[The chamber of secrets has been opened.Those who are enemies of the heir, be vigilant! 】

Taking out a large piece of parchment, Aini moved the red on the wall onto the paper.Anyway, there is no shortage of storage space, so save it for now, maybe it will come in handy sometime.

"Severus, Ernie, come with me."

Dumbledore greeted and walked towards the stairs first.

"You can use my office, I have prepared good black tea, you will like it."

When Lockhart stood up covering his face, he realized that the last three people left were also leaving, so he hurriedly chased after them and shouted.

"Thank you, Lockhart. But we have business to do, so we won't be chatting with you."

The smile on the other party's face made the old headmaster a little unhappy, and after a hastily dealt with it, he continued to walk upstairs.

Lockhart wanted to continue entanglement, but Dumbledore's expressionless face just now flashed in his mind, and he felt a slight chill in his heart, and stopped in resentment.

There was no words all the way, until the three of them canceled the silent mode after entering the principal's room.

"It's Lockhart, he smells like petrochemical potions."

Aini murmured and told the previous discovery, "I thought Tom would give priority to rescuing the 'trapped' basilisk, but I didn't expect him to poison the students directly."

The "secret room" arranged by the two is almost the same as the prototype, but the statue and a section of the mountain behind it are disguised as a natural collapse, so as to consume Tom and Lockhart's time and prevent them from always messing up things.

Before the tunnel for whoever wanted to release the basilisk was dug, Lockhart made it first.

"Perhaps there was a deviation in our initial assumption, or the life and soul of the host are not the only conditions for the recovery of the Horcrux."

The other two people in the room naturally didn't know how the world would develop without Aini, but he himself knew it.

After gradually gaining the relevant authority on Ginny, Tom did not choose to grow silently, but kept flying.

Compliments and criticisms aside, Voldemort can indeed be called the most dazzling magical seed in England since Dumbledore, and even after accumulating forbearance, he conquered the Slytherin students in one fell swoop.

For a half-blood wizard who was born in a Muggle orphanage, it was not easy to do this.

It is hard for you to imagine that when such a person is weak, he will take public revenge for a moment of anger, thus putting himself in danger, and even losing the chance of resurrection for this.

So there is only one truth, obviously, Tom can get some substantial benefits in those actions.
