A day at Hogwarts

Chapter 48 He really did it

"Charles, listen to me!"

In the abandoned classroom, Harry carefully explained to Charles the Gringotts robbery, the room guarded by the three-headed dog, the suspicion of Snape, and who Nico Flamel was.

After hearing this, Charles pondered for a long time and got a little inspiration.

If someone actually threw wood flies into the second greenhouse, then this person must have some motive, otherwise he would not risk being fired for doing it.

Starting from the motivation, there are only the herbs used in the Hogwarts herbalism class and the flowers and plants cultivated by oneself in the greenhouse. It seems that no one has the motivation to destroy the herbalism class, but the motivation to destroy the plants cultivated by oneself is to be with oneself Have grudges.

Charles filtered out the people in Hogwarts who might have grudges with him last night. Eleanor's suitors can be ruled out. They just treat him as a kid. Snape has nothing against him, and it's even more impossible. Destroying the teaching of Herbalism, which Voldemort would only do if he got kicked in the head by Hagrid, left only one person in the end.

He remembered Malfoy's inexplicable provocative smile when he first returned to the castle. Looking back now, he probably knew what happened, and he had a grudge against him and had a motive for committing the crime.

Charles was only suspicious, and there was no further evidence to confirm it, so he just prepared Veritaserum and used it after finding evidence.

Now he decided, just like Harry and the others suspected Snape, to presume Malfoy was the murderer first, and then look for clues.

Harry saw Charles thinking, and thought he was thinking about what he had just said.

Unexpectedly, Charles said to him: "You should study this matter carefully, I have to leave beforehand."

After finishing speaking, he left the abandoned classroom without looking back, leaving Harry's trio to look at each other.

Malfoy was knocked unconscious in the explosion accident on the Quidditch pitch today, and he is still hospitalized in the school infirmary, so it is a good opportunity to do it.

It's just that it's late now, and Dumbledore will go to the kitchen to get a drink before going to bed at any time. When there are students in the ward, he will go back and ask about the situation.

Charles checked the contents of his bag and found that the Polyjuice Potion he bought at Knockturn Alley before school started had been used up on Halloween, so he had to find a new one just to be safe.

"Compound potion?" Eleanor frowned and looked at Charles. "This potion... involves many problems. What are you going to do?"

Charles hesitated for a moment, and said very seriously: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you, but I promise I won't use it to do bad things."

What he's going to do next is a little dangerous. If he is found out, he might actually enter Azkaban, so he has to pick Eleanor out.

Eleanor looked into Charles' firm eyes, pointed to the medicine shelf next to the laboratory, and said, "There's a bottle of water of life and death over there."

Charles said, "Thank you."

After he finished speaking, he put on a pair of gloves, walked to the medicine shelf and found the bottle labeled with the water of life and death and the compound soup, and then dripped two drops of water of life and death into Eleanor's teapot.

Eleanor poured herself a cup of tea and said to Charles with a smile: "The floor is cool now."

After finishing speaking, she drank the tea without hesitation.

Charles carried Eleanor, who was sleeping soundly, to the bed and settled down, and then selected a hair from the already prepared hair and prepared to put it into the compound soup.

At this moment, he hesitated, and after thinking for a while, he put the polyjuice potion into the bag, put the bag under the bed after changing the old man's wand, put the water of life and death in his pocket, put the house elf's magic insole on the door He took out the key and adjusted the coordinates, then walked out of the laboratory.

The castle was quiet at night, only the sound of Filch's patrolling footsteps and Peeves' singing could be heard from time to time.

The school nurse's office was brightly lit, and the surrounding shelves were filled with various medicine bottles. Madam Pomfrey was quietly reading a book, not noticing that a drop of water flew into it soundlessly. in a teacup.

She yawned, took a sip of the cold black tea from her cup, and fell asleep on the table two seconds later.

A medicine bottle appeared out of thin air in the side ward, and a drop of life and death water dripped into the mouth of a sleeping student, and now he would not wake up for a while.

Malfoy was on the bed next to him. He already thought he was fine, but Madam Pomfrey asked him to observe the same night as the one who hit him.

He had already fallen asleep, but suddenly felt a strange taste in his mouth, and woke up suddenly.

"May I have your name?"

The sudden sound startled Malfoy, but he found that the sheets wrapped his body so tightly that he couldn't even move his neck.

The voice seemed familiar to him, but the emotionless tone was so terrifying and unfamiliar.

"Draco Malfoy."

Malfoy has been fed with Veritaserum and can't tell lies, but he can choose not to tell the truth, but the Malfoy family can stand for a long time because they know when they should be counseled, so they will answer every question.

A voice as cold as liquid nitrogen asked, "What bad things have you done recently?"

Malfoy immediately talked about the bad things he had done during this period, most of which were bullying his classmates.

"I hate Smith, so I bought a log with the woodfly on it and threw it in his greenhouse..."

Charles heard what he wanted, but ran out of time.

"The original form is revealed!"

Dumbledore's voice sounded in the ward. There was nothing beside Malfoy's bed, but after the spell, a blue figure first appeared, and then a figure in Hogwarts uniform appeared.

"Charles?"

Dumbledore was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect it to be him, but the next moment he asked sternly, "Who are you?"

The person next to the hospital bed looks very similar to Charles, but they are exactly the same, but their temperament is completely different, cold and ruthless, which reminds Dumbledore of Grindelwald and Voldemort.

Charles saluted Dumbledore in a very ancient way, and said with some emotion: "Albus Dumbledore, long time no see, you are old too."

Dumbledore's eyes were fixed on the other, and the Elder Wand pointed, and asked again in a harsher voice, "Who are you?"

"Chop off one head and grow two," Charles said slowly. "You can call me Steve Rogers."

"We should have met long ago, but the day I went to find you, you were in the barn. I couldn't disturb you so I had to visit another day. I didn't expect that I would have a more important task soon, and we couldn't meet until today."

Dumbledore frowned even more. It would be fine if the other party mentioned other things, but when he mentioned the barn, he hinted that he knew what happened inside, so he couldn't know the details of the other party.

Charles continued: "We respect you very much, and we have no intention of being your enemy. Although we have offended you by coming here this time, no one has been harmed. My compensation will satisfy you."

"I'll leave after I ask this Mr. Malfoy a question, which I guess you want to know the answer to too."

Dumbledore grimaced, the tip of the Elder Wand glowed, but no spell was cast.

"Mr. Malfoy," Charles asked, "is it a blue cube that caused your house to explode? It looks like a crystal, with a core that radiates light."

Malfoy immediately replied nervously: "No, I don't have such a thing at home!"

Then Dumbledore asked, "What is that?"

He was very surprised about the origin of this person. It looked like a certain organization, so what they did not hesitate to invade Hogwarts to find must not be a simple item.

Charles replied: "I don't know. We wanted to invite you to study together that year, but it was stolen when I was about to visit you again. The last time it appeared was June 30, 1908, in Tunguska, Siberia. Whereabouts are unknown."

"We suspect that it is the creation of wizards from another planet."

Without waiting for Dumbledore to say or do anything, Charles said, "I should go back. I suggest you read "Secrets of Advanced Dark Arts."

After speaking, he activated the insole door key and disappeared into the ward.

Dumbledore just watched him leave quietly, frowning badly.

He went over to check on Malfoy, and asked what had just happened.

Malfoy answered everything, including the bad things he did.

At this time, Charles appeared in Eleanor's laboratory, and immediately went to the study to pour a cup of tea containing the water of life and death, and took it in his mouth. The tea cup fell on the ground randomly, and went to the bedroom to take off his clothes and shoes and fold them up. Neatly placed at the end of the bed, put away the old man's wand in a bag and put it on top of his clothes, cast two cleansing spells on himself, and finally lay down beside Eleanor in a farewell pose for the dead body and swallowed the tea.
