Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 425: Incidents of Black Magic Items Injuring People (2)

Snape was closest to the gold. He pulled the scarf and shook it into a potion box. "This scarf doesn't seem to belong to Miss Carey?"

Miss Carey's scarf stayed securely around her neck.

Professor McGonagall's mouth twitched. "That's...Mr. Potter's."

"Potter!" Snape muttered sarcastically, "He is always so lucky to encounter opportunities that require him to show his skills..."

"Professor Snape," Professor McGonagall used the name to express her displeasure, "please clean that scarf and make sure there are no curse residues on it that could threaten someone's life."

Snape held the scarf and threw it aside. "Don't worry, dark magic is not like wine gum. It won't stick everywhere. If there is nothing else, there is a pot of potion waiting for me in the dungeon."

After saying that, he left without saying goodbye to anyone.

Sainz went forward to check Lini Kalai's condition again and confirmed that her life was not in danger for the time being. "It seems that I am of no use here, so I will go back first. If there is anything, you can call me at any time."

"What Professor Autumn said makes sense," said Madam Pomfrey. "Minerva, you all should leave now. I will give her some painkillers, enough to keep her going until the people from St. Mungo's come to take her away."

"Okay, let's leave first," Professor McGonagall said with a heavy face, "I'll leave the rest to you, Poppy. I'd better inform her parents as soon as possible... or let them go directly to St. Mungo's..."

After coming out of the school hospital, Professor McGonagall went back to her office, while Sainz and the other three walked slowly upstairs.

Professor McGonagall's office door was not closed, and after she went in, four people came out.

"Hey, Harry!" Hagrid called out to them. "Your scarf! I've got your scarf!"

"Hello!" Harry Sainz greeted the people here loudly.

Among the people who came out of Professor McGonagall's office, besides Harry and his two companions, there was also Katie Bell. She looked as if she had just cried and was not in a very good spirits.

Sainz greeted everyone, "How about going to my office and having a drink to refresh yourself?"

Everyone present was familiar with Sainz and expressed their approval.

"Sorry, Sainz," Ben gestured to the dark magic detector in his hand and said with a heavy face, "I still have work to do. I have to make sure no other dark magic items sneak into the school."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Ben continued to test everyone at the school gate, and several others came to Sainz's office, and the cold air outside was immediately replaced by warmth.

It was near the end of October and the weather had become quite cold, so he followed the crowd and lit the fireplace.

Sai's office was not small, and was more than enough to accommodate these people, but it was a little unfriendly to Hagrid. He had to make his movements smaller, otherwise he might damage the canopy when raising his hands.

Katie Bell was still a little frightened. Her hands holding the teacup were shaking slightly and her lips were a little blue.

Sainz remembered that in the original trajectory, it was she who was hit, not her companion.

The opal necklace in the original trajectory had been bought by Sainz in advance, so it is normal to have some changes this time.

Using dark magic items is indeed a very easy way to harm people. It is not surprising that Malfoy would use the same routine. Apart from the opal necklace, he has other items.

He just looked at it and found that the gold artifact was not an old thing, but a modern handicraft. In fact, its shape was more exquisite than the old things. Not to mention its artistic value, just based on the value of its materials, it should have a price that would be very prohibitive.

Malfoy really goes to great lengths to harm others!

This thing is not cheap, the material is not cheap, and the powerful curse makes it even more expensive.

This time it was not a prank. Regardless of whether this situation was good or not, there was no doubt about Malfoy's original intention, he just wanted to kill people.

He may have had his own reasons, but he was indeed prepared to kill someone in Hogwarts, and he did so without regard for the consequences. He did not consider that his plan might affect other people, and did not consider that his plan might very well affect his own classmates.

A student attempted to commit murder in his own school, without regard for the consequences!

Ah!

very good!

It was also because Mr. Sai didn't pay enough attention. The three broomsticks were outside the school, and Tom and Jerry now had too many places to patrol. It was impossible for them to be as focused as before on the diary and the basilisk.

Only a person can be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days!

No matter how good the supervision is, as long as you are in a defensive position, there will always be mistakes.

Given Sai's temperament, if Malfoy had not been a student, he would have turned to ashes by now.

The office was noisy and with so many people present, Harry and the others did not discuss who the murderer was. Sainz thought about it and turned to another road with his teacup in hand.

"Should we give him a chance?" he thought, "Old Deng came here specifically to advise Sai to be more magnanimous..."

After much consideration, he decided to give him a chance. As a professor now, he should fulfill his duties. When students make mistakes, he should provide guidance instead of judging them.

Of course, the premise of guiding students who have made mistakes to recognize their mistakes is that the interests of other students cannot be harmed, and one student cannot be "sacrificed" in order to "save" another.

"Katie," Sainz said, "don't just hold it in your hand. Drink a little. It will make you feel better. I specially added a tranquilizer to your cup."

Katie Bell took several sips after hearing this, and the worry on her brow obviously dissipated. "Thank you, Sainz, I feel much better."

When Belle got better, Sainz said to everyone present, "Miss Calle's condition has stabilized. She is not in danger of death, but she may need to stay in the hospital for ten days or half a month. You don't need to worry too much. Hagrid can testify to this."

"Yes," said Hagrid, "I was there, and Sainz did a mighty good job of it. His magic worked wonders."

Sainz waved his hand and said, "Don't believe Hagrid's flattery... I have to praise you guys. Katie noticed the problem keenly, and the others enthusiastically helped their classmate, which bought her precious time."

These words made the spirits of the people present much higher.

"You've seen it," Sainz said in a warning tone, "The current situation is so serious that someone is so blatantly trying to poison someone in the school with a cursed and vicious item..."

"Lini was under the Imperius Curse," Katie Bell immediately defended her. "I'm sure she didn't do it voluntarily. She definitely didn't know what she was doing at the time."

"No one would think it was Miss Carey's idea," Hagrid said carelessly, "Everyone present at the time thought she was a victim."

"That means the murderer is still out there," Hermione said worriedly, "We all have to be careful, especially you, Harry!"

Harry was annoyed, "Why are you singling me out?"
