Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 95 The fog is heavy
Looking at the petrified Penelope Mack felt that his lungs were about to explode, and he urged him thousands of times, but he didn't expect something to happen in the end.

"Isn't she dead?"

"No way? Shouldn't you fall down when you die?"

The people around talked one after another.

Penello's face didn't look too frightened, on the contrary, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

The strange thing is that Penello is wearing neither Hogwarts school uniform nor pajamas, but a thick khaki windbreaker and a pair of black trousers.

Mike pulled out the letter from Penello's hand. What surprised him was that the signature on the letter was Mike Townley, and judging from the content of the letter, it should be an invitation to Penello A love letter for a midnight date.

Now Mike understood everything. Someone asked Penello out in his own name. No wonder Penello was dressed like this. It seemed that she must have dressed carefully before going out, and she was looking forward to the date.

There is still a line of words written in blood on the wall behind Penello: The secret room has been opened.Those who are enemies of the heir, be vigilant.

The attention of the surrounding students was mostly focused on the row of blood characters, and most of them were stunned, while the few pure-blood students in the upper grades present were proudly telling others about the legend about the secret room.

The little Muggle-born wizards listened with gusto at first, but when they heard that the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets would slaughter the Mudbloods, their expressions suddenly changed.

An atmosphere of panic quickly spread among the crowd.

"Quiet me!" Mike began to maintain order when he saw this, "Hurry up and notify Dean Flitwick. Also, who was the first to find Penello?"

Mike still had some prestige in Ravenclaw. Immediately after he gave the order, several people rushed to Professor Flitwick's office.And a blond girl with a pockmarked face also came out obediently, indicating that she was the first person to find Penello.

Under Mike's maintenance, the order at the scene finally returned to normal, and Professor Flitwick rushed over quickly, along with Dumbledore and Professor Snape.

Mike took the pockmarked girl to meet her, told the whole story, and finally handed over the letter.

Dumbledore watched more and more melon-eaters gathered at the scene, took out his elderberry wand and flicked the blood on the wall to disappear, and said at the same time: "Felius, you send Penelope first." Let’s go to the infirmary, and maintain order by the way. Mike, you and that lady come with me, I need your cooperation in the investigation.”

Upon hearing this, Professor Flitwick immediately ordered the other prefects who were late to disperse the students at the scene, and at the same time took Penello to the infirmary.Before leaving, he patted Mike on the arm as a sign of encouragement.He was very satisfied with Mike's handling method today. As for whether Mike would be the murderer, he didn't doubt at all.

Mike nodded to Professor Flitwick and followed Dumbledore to the principal's office.

On the way, no one spoke, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while. The girl with pockmarked face was already sweating from nervousness.

Mike, on the other hand, was happy to be at leisure, and entered a state of brain closure after brewing for a long time.According to today's posture, Dumbledore is likely to use Legilimency on himself. Although Mike is indeed not the murderer of this attack, he has the big secret of being a reborn person in his brain. Who can guarantee that Dumbledore will Lido won't find out.

After following Dumbledore all the way to the principal's office, Dumbledore said: "Sit down, do you want some cockroach piles, you know that sweets are the best way to relieve tension."

The pockmarked girl looked at the cockroach that was still crawling in front of her, shaking her head like a rattle.

The reactions of Mike and Snape were very similar, both expressionless, with empty and deep eyes, completely indifferent to what Dumbledore said.

"I have a general understanding of what happened, but I still need to make sure." Dumbledore was not angry when everyone refused, and continued, "This letter written with a magic automatic shorthand pen was sent to Penello by you. Is it Mike?"

"It wasn't from me, Dumbledore..."

Before Mike could finish speaking, Snape interrupted: "He lied!"

Mike looked at the expressionless Snape in front of him, and knew in his heart that he had seen that he was in a state of closed brain.

Mike's Occlumency is far from being a master, so he can't hide it from Snape, a master of Occlumency.

However, Mike also intends to hide them from them at all. Although doing so will make him more suspicious, it is nothing compared to the secrets in his mind.

"I believe that the perceptive Headmaster Dumbledore will definitely do the right thing, Professor Snape."

Mike, who was in a state of closed brain, was not in the slightest when facing Snape's questioning, ignoring the cold aura he exuded and replied word by word.

Snape stared at Mike for a while and found that Mike's expression hadn't changed at all, so he ignored him.

"The matter is serious this time, Dumbledore." Snape said to Dumbledore, "I propose to use unconventional means to interrogate Mike, and I can provide Veritaserum if necessary."

Just as Dumbledore was about to say something, a man suddenly broke into the principal's office.

"Snape! You actually want to use Veritaserum on my student! Are you trying to make him a fool?" Professor Flitwick, who suddenly appeared, stared at Snape with bloodshot eyes. .

In the face of Flitwick's questioning, Snape's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't distinguish anything, just staring at Flitwick silently.

Professor Flitwick, who was only a little over one meter tall, erupted at this time with a brutal aura that was extremely inconsistent with his short stature, giving the impression that he was a hungry tiger that could choose someone to eat at any time.

The pockmarked girl on the side had already closed her mouth from ear to ear in amazement. Professor Flitwick's current appearance was completely different from his gentle, kind, smiling image of everyone in the past.It hadn't occurred to her until now that Professor Flitwick had once been a dueling champion.

Seeing the two people who might fight at any time in front of him, Dumbledore reconciled: "Felius, Severus just wanted to scare Little Mike, and he didn't mean anything malicious."

"Scare me? Are you kidding?" Professor Flitwick roared. "Everyone knows that the Chamber of Secrets refers to the Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets! If you want me to say that the real murderer must be a Slytherin! We should give the Slytherin house All students drink Veritaserum!"

Dumbledore looked at the furious Flitwick and knew that he might not be able to ask anything today.

"Okay, I also believe that Little Mike will not do such a thing. After all, after the attack, the only letter left on the scene, the smell of framing is too strong." Dumbledore said .

Seeing that Dumbledore started to defend Mike, Flitwick looked a lot better.

"Let's do this today. The most urgent task now is to cure Miss Penello. You have to follow up on this point, Felius." Dumbledore continued, "Severus stays, and the others go first." Come on. I have some things I need to talk to him alone."

PS: Just kidding, don't change your body.Don't you understand what my silver sword hints at so clearly?
