The Alchemist of Harry Potter - Chapter 1251
“What happened?”
The shrill screams startled the customers in the bar.
    The Hogwarts students who were drinking butter beer and chatting with their friends, all stood up from their chairs and rushed to the door of the bar. They saw a group of people surrounded by a street not far away. Sky.
    A man was floating in the sky, screaming terribly.
    More people moved closer to it, but they were just watching from the side, and no one went up to help.
    In fact, I can’t blame them. Many people panicked and didn’t know what to do.
    Even the residents of Hogsmeade were helpless about this. In the end, several Aurors who were in charge of the Hogsmeade patrol mission rushed over after sensing the movement here, trying to rescue the poor girl floating in the air.
    “What’s the matter?”
    Harry asked Fred, George and Lee Jordan who were helping to maintain order.
    “I don’t know, but I hope she’s fine.”
    George frowned and looked at the Auror who was trying to break the curse. Feeling that these guys were unreliable, he reminded aloud, “It’s best to find a way to put people down first, and then put them down. Take it to Hogwarts, which is the closest to here, and maybe Dumbledore can lift the spell on her.”
    In his opinion, the Aurors probably couldn’t lift the spell on Katie.
    The Aurors suddenly realized that they were about to pick up the girl on the ground. George had taken out a bottle of potion from his pocket and poured it on Katie’s face, so that her pain and screams were relieved to a certain extent.
    “You, this…”
    “Do you still have the antidote?” George asked back.
    “I have a bottle here.”
    Fred reached out and took out a bottle of potion from his pocket and threw it to George, and then said to the two Aurors who were a little dazed, “Better ride a broom, that will be faster. Rosmer Mrs. Tower, you wouldn’t mind borrowing a broom from the shop.
    “Oh, no problem, I’ll go get it now.”
    “No need, I’ll come!”
    Fred used the Flying Charm to easily summon the broomsticks in the Three Broomsticks bar, and by the way summoned a stretcher out of thin air and put Kai Ti to transfer up.
    “What kind of potion is that?” an Auror couldn’t help asking, and he found that the curse on the student had been relieved to a certain extent.
    “The anti-curse agent can wash away most of the spells, but the effect is only average.” The
    two Aurors looked at each other, and some doubted who was the professional who had really received Auror training. He was soon flown to Hogwarts with a stretcher.
    Looking at the backs of the Aurors leaving, the Weasley twins couldn’t help shaking their heads. He found that these Aurors were more unreliable than expected.
    “Does anyone know what happened?”
    “You’re Katie’s friend, right?”
    Lee Jordan was one of the first to arrive here, and he had already targeted the girl who was most likely to know the truth.
    “Can you tell us what happened here? Who cast a spell on Katie?”
    Everyone turned their attention to the girl who was scared and cried, hoping to get some useful information from her.
    Hermione couldn’t stand it anymore, she hurried to the girl’s side, put her arms around her, and comforted her softly, “Don’t worry, Katie will be fine.”
    “You’re Lini, what happened just now? , who cast a spell on Katie.”
    “What… no, there is a package… and something happened when it was torn open.” Lini said even more sobbing.
    “What package?”
    “I don’t know…”
    “Don’t touch that.” Harry’s cry startled the whispering students.
    “what?”
    The boy who was yelled at by Harry was stunned in place and stopped picking up the package, apparently not understanding what Harry meant.
    “Don’t touch the package on the floor, that thing is cursed.”
    Harry had already seen what came out of the package, an opal necklace, he couldn’t be sure if it was the one from Borgin Burke’s, But that thing must be dangerous.
    Fred played tricks, took a spying device from his pocket and poked the package, quickly confirming that Harry was right that the opal necklace in the package was indeed a dark magic item.
    “It has to be taken to Hogwarts, maybe Dumbledore needs to figure out what the Dark Spell is on that thing.”
    George waved his wand and wrapped the package again, putting it on again for safety ‘s sake. After securing the safety of the outer shell, he looked around and asked, “Who is willing to do it for you and send Lini back to Hogwarts by the way?”
    Everyone looked at each other, but no one offered to help.
    Just as Harry was about to stand up, he heard George say.
    “Forget it, I’ll go by myself, let’s go.” George stretched out his hand to help the girl named Lini, and he Apparated and left.
    “I might have seen it at Borgin Bock, that opal necklace.”
    Harry said in a low voice to the people around him in the Three Broomsticks bar, “It seems that someone bought that necklace and wanted to get it through Katie. , take it into Hogwarts, and want to use it to kill someone.”
    “I don’t think it’s very likely Harry.” Hermione shook her head and directly denied Harry’s opinion.
    When she noticed that everyone was looking at her, Hermione felt a little nervous, took a deep breath, and explained uneasily, “This year Hogwarts has strengthened security measures, I don’t believe that necklace will be unknowingly. Enter Hogwarts under the circumstances.”
    “Maybe someone tried to kill Filch with that necklace.” Ron groaned.
    “It can’t be Ron, I think Filch will probably use a spy device to determine if it’s a black magic item after seeing the package.”
    “Are you trying to say, the guy who tried to murder someone with a necklace. An idiot?” Fred took a bottle from his pocket, took a sip, and joked with a smile.
    “When did you learn to carry a wine bottle from Mad-Eye?” Ron looked suspiciously at Fred’s silver wine bottle.
    “We don’t dare to eat outside now. God knows if someone will add some special seasoning to the food.” Lee Jordan also has the same bottle.
    “You should pay attention to Cedric, if I definitely add some ingredients to your drink and put you straight down, then you will be finished.” Fred took another sip and handed the bottle to the bottle that has been very Interested Harry asked, “Want some?”
    “What’s in it?” Harry asked after sniffing.
    “Warm wine, it’s warm to drink.” Fred said with a smile, “Dobby helped prepare it, it really helped us a lot.”
    “Dobby?” Qiu Zhang asked in confusion.
    “The house-elves hired by Albert.” Cedric said with emotion, “He is currently responsible for helping us take care of our lives.”
    “Look, even you don’t reject hiring house-elves.” Hermione said excitedly.
    However, no one took her word.
    “It always feels like you guys are more and more like Aurors.” Ron couldn’t help but complain.
    “If you’re being targeted and you don’t want to be unlucky because of it, you have to learn to be careful.” Fred shook the bottle with a smile, and continued the topic just now, “I dare say that Katie must be caught. Imperius, and the guy who cast the Imperius on her is also a fool.”
    “If you ask Albert for divination, you should be able to find the culprit, right?” Harry asked suddenly.
    “Should be, but I don’t think he should waste time on a fool.”
    George walked over to Harry, pulled a chair and sat beside him with a smile, under the gaze of everyone, he lowered his voice and said, “The murderer should be hiding in the Three Broomsticks bar, Lini said Katie went to Three Broomsticks. After returning from the toilet of the Broom Bar, it became a little strange, holding the unmarked package in her hand. She thought that Katie should not agree to hand over the suspicious item. When the two sides snatch the package, she accidentally When the package was torn open, the opal necklace inside fell out, and Katie was obviously only seriously injured if she touched the necklace.”
    “It’s impossible…” Hermione said suddenly.
    “What?”
    Everyone looked at Hermione in confusion.
    “If there are Death Eaters or Dark Wizards approaching the three bars, the detection pocket watch will definitely respond.” Hermione took out the detection pocket watch from Albert from her pocket.
    “If the person who cast the Imperius Curse on Katie is also imperiled by someone else, the pocket watch cannot be detected,” Fred reminded kindly. He knew very well where the flaws in detecting pocket watches were.
    “Is Katie all right!” Harry asked.
    “Snape seemed to be treating her when I left…”
    “Wait, you mean Snape was treating Katie?”
    “Yes, Dumbledore wasn’t at school, and Professor McGonagall asked Snape to Helped to check Katie’s injury, helped her with emergency treatment, I heard that they were going to send Katie to St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for more formal treatment.”
    “You think Katie wants to give the necklace to her. For whom?” Cedric asked suddenly.
    “Me or Dumbledore,” Harry said without hesitation, “but I can be ruled out. After all, here I am, and Katie can bring it to me directly. If you open that package directly, you will definitely hit the necklace. , no matter who that person is, it will be
    bad luck.” Harry felt that he was lucky, and if it was him, he might have been demolished on the spot. At least, he never had the habit of carrying a secret explorer at all times.
    “I don’t think Dumbledore will get caught.” Fred shook his head.
    “A package without any markings looks suspicious no matter how you look at it,” George explained. “In the past, when we helped Albert open this kind of package, we would be very careful to prevent any spells or anything in the package. Dark magic items.” All
    three were experienced in this area.
    In their opinion, even Albert was on guard, not to mention Dumbledore, and seeing such an unmarked package would definitely be suspicious.
    “We’ve been discussing for so long, and we’ve confirmed one thing, and that is that the guy who delivered the package turned out to be a total idiot.” Harry felt absurd.
    “It’s really an idiot. Even if Katie has no accident, the package will be stopped by Filch, and he won’t be able to enter Hogwarts at all.” Ron shrugged.
    “Harry, who are you suspecting?”
    “Nothing?”
    “Tell me, it’s better than holding it in, maybe I can help you out,” George suggested.
    “Well, I suspect that this incident has something to do with Draco Malfoy. Although there is no evidence, I always feel that it is likely that he did it.”
    After Harry noticed the expressions on other people’s faces, He pretended to shrug his shoulders easily and said, “Of course, this is just suspicion, so I feel that I should ask Albert to help with divination, and I will definitely be able to know who did it.”
    “Draco Malfoy did it or not. I don’t know, but according to Lini…” George peeked at Mrs Rosemerta at the bar counter.
    “You think Mrs. Rosemerta is under the Imperius Curse?” Cedric knew immediately what George meant.
    Several people turned their heads to look at Mrs. Rosemerta, but they couldn’t see anything wrong.
    “That necklace was stuffed to Katie, it should be just an accident, maybe Mrs. Rosemerta will stuff it to any Hogwarts student who goes to the toilet alone?” George briefly explained his guess.
    “But, how can no one see that something is wrong with Mrs. Rosemerta?” Ron felt incredible.
    “Mrs. Rosemerta is not a strong-willed person, and it is not difficult to control her with the Imperius Curse.” Fred looked at Cedric and asked, “You didn’t see that your friend was under the Imperius Curse. Control it!”
    “I can’t see it at all.” Cedric shook his head and said,
    “What should we do, expose Mrs. Rosemerta to the Ministry of Magic?” Qiu Zhang looked at his boyfriend uneasily, who were still drinking here just now Had a glass of butterbeer.
    “No, keep this matter a secret first, then tell Dumbledore and let Dumbledore handle it.” George turned his head to Harry and said, “I think this should be the safest way, and Harry , if you are all right, go back to school as soon as possible, even if there are Aurors patrolling here, it is not safe, we will leave here as soon as possible.”
    “Wait, don’t forget about the Defense Association.” Cedric hurriedly He reminded,
    “Oh, this matter, next time I teach something simpler, and then you can discuss it later.” Fred said without hesitation.
    “We originally planned to teach how to build a temporary camp to protect ourselves.” Hermione said what she was going to say at the party.
    “It’s a good idea. Let’s teach it when the time comes. It’s a very practical thing.” George made a decision, and he didn’t forget to remind the three that they should leave.
    “I hope I can ask Albert for a divination.”
    “Don’t waste your money Harry, I guess Dumbledore can guess who did it.” Fred reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder, followed by a few others Go outside, then use Apparition directly to leave.
    “Harry, are you still suspicious of Malfoy?” Hermione asked on the way back to school.
    “Yes, I have a gut feeling that it has something to do with Malfoy.” Harry said about the reason why he would guess like that, “Lucius Malfoy tried to assassinate Albert at the wedding last time, but was magically attacked. The ambush of the Ministry killed many Death Eaters, and now they are still imprisoned in Azkaban. The Malfoy family is basically finished. If the Malfoy family wants to regain the trust of Voldemort, killing Dumbledore is undoubtedly the best. Choice. As you know, Voldemort wants Dumbledore to die.”
    “But Malfoy is underage,” Hermione reminded.
    “You shouldn’t judge by age, that’s pretty ridiculous.”
    “After all, I’m not an adult!” Harry showed a rather odd expression, “But I don’t have to face all that yet, I don’t have a choice. “
    Maybe the whole thing is still an order from You-Know-Who to Draco Malfoy.”
    “Why did You-Know-Who do that?” Ron asked, puzzled.
    “Revenge, for Lucius Malfoy’s incompetence, for his failure to keep his diary and the destruction of the Horcrux by me,” Harry said softly. “Voldemort was never a big-hearted person.”
