Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

29. Chapter 29 is petrified by Mrs. Norris

    "What happened here, what happened?"

    Filch was undoubtedly attracted by Malfoy's shouts, and he squeezed his shoulders through the crowd. Then he saw Mrs. Norris, stumbled back a few steps and grabbed his face with horror.

    "my cat! my cat! Mrs. What happened to Norris? ”He screamed, almost fainting.

    "It's you!"Filch suddenly walked over and grabbed Ivan, screaming. "You killed my cat and killed it!" I want to kill you, I want to…"

    Get off me.Ivan knocked out Filch's hand. "I didn't move the cat with a cold hair. No one touched him. It was already like this when we came."

    "Lie, you are lying!"Filch screamed loudly. "Someone saw you are murderous, isn't it?!"

    "Filch !"

    Dumbledore rushed to the scene, followed by many other teachers. In a blink of an eye, he went to Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and put Mrs. Norris got out of the torch bracket

    "Come with me, Filch."He said to Filch, "And you, Mr. Mason, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger. ”

    Lockhart hurried forward and danced and said, "My office is near here, headmaster! Just upstairs, you can go there. ”

    "Thank you, Gilderoy!"Dumbledore nodded.

    The silent crowd separated to the two sides and let them pass.

    They led by Lockhart to his dim office, and Professor McGonagall and Snape followed. There was a commotion on the office wall, and Ivan saw Lockhart in the photo screaming and hiding, and they had hair rollers on their hair.

    At this point, the real Lockhart ignites the candle on the table and retreats to the back. Dumbledore put Mrs. Norris was placed on a clean desktop and began to check carefully.

    He looked very carefully, and the tip of the long eagle hook nose almost touched Mrs. The hair on Norris's body, the slender fingers gently poke here, there are embarrassing. Professor McGonagall bent over and his face almost touched the cat, squinting and looking at it.

    Snape stood behind them, half hidden in the shadows, looking gloomy, his face was very weird, as if he was trying to restrain himself from laughing. Lockhart wandered around them and kept plotting ideas.

    Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione exchanged their eyes nervously, sitting in a few chairs that were barely illuminated by the candle. Filch stood behind them, staring at Ivan, as if he had been identified as the murderer of the cat.

    "It must have been a curse that killed it. It is probably a torture torture spell. I have seen people use this spell many times. I really regret that I was not there at the time. I just knew the spell, which could have saved it. ”

    Upon hearing Lockhart's words, Filch, standing behind Ivan, twitched sadly.

    Then, he suddenly sat on a chair at the table, covering his face with his hands, not looking at Mrs. Norris, looks very pitiful.

    At this time, Dumbledore whispered something strange and knocked Mrs with his wand. Norris, however, did not respond. Mrs. Norris still lay stiffly there, like a specimen that was just made.

    "headmaster, this cat is dead!"Lockhart said, "I remember a similar incident in Ouagadougou, a series of attacks, which are well documented in my autobiography. At that time, I provided various amulets to the people and solved the problem at once. ”

    "Professor, it is not dead, it is only petrified."

    Ivan felt that he had to say something, otherwise letting Lockhart continue to stimulate Filch so much that the latter would probably skip over and find himself desperate.

    "Nonsense, you killed him!"Filch screamed.

    mr Mason is right, it is not dead, Filch. ”Dumbledore whispered, "It's petrified, a deep dark magic, and it's impossible for first-year students to do this."

    "It's what he did, he did it!"Filch spit and said that the fat, sagging face turned purple, "You saw the words he wrote on the wall, my Mrs. Norris has repeatedly prevented him from entering the girls' bathroom on the third floor. He must be resentful. ”

    "I didn't, I didn't touch the cat at all!"

    "So, the famous Mr. Know-it-all Why try to enter a girls' bathroom? ”Snape glanced over Ivan's gloomy eyes. "Is there any thing that can be posted to your sloppy newspaper?"

    "I am looking for a ghost in the castle to provide a source of news for my newspaper. I think it is necessary to talk to Moaning Myrtle. She is very familiar with Hogwarts, and many girls like her. ”Ivan 磕磕巴巴 explained that he said these words even he did not believe.

    "I have deep doubts about this."Snape's lips twitched with a smirk, and turned to Harry sitting on the side. "The whole thing is full of doubts. Why are you supposed to be in that place at that time, why go to the corridor above? Why didn't you attend the Halloween party?"

    Snape asked a series of questions that made Ivan feel like he was a hundred thousand why.

    Fortunately, he didn't need him to return to him, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione scrambled to explain that they were going to attend the jealousy party.

    "There are hundreds of ghosts, they can prove that we are there."

    "But after this, why not come to the party?"Snape's dark eyes sparkling in the candlelight, "Why go to the corridor above?"

    "Because Ron had a misunderstanding with Moaning Myrtle at the Jewelry party, we would like to apologize to her."

    "Apologize to a ghost, don't eat dinner?"Snape's skinny face flashed a smug smile. "I think the food provided by the ghost at the party is probably not suitable for the living."

    "We are not hungry."Ron yelled, and his stomach slammed, and Snape's ugly smile became more apparent.

    "My opinion is that headmaster, they are not completely telling the truth."He said, "We should probably cancel some of their privileges until they are willing to tell us what they were." I personally think it's best to let Mason stop his ridiculous newspaper and let Potter leave the Gryffindor Quiddich team and wait until they are honest. ”

    “To be honest, Severus,” Professor McGonagall snapped. “I don’t think there’s any reason for these kids to stop their favorite extracurricular activities. The cat wasn’t hit by a newspaper or a broom, and there’s no evidence that they did anything. Wrong."

    Dumbledore glanced at the four people with an inquiring look, and the blue eyes stared at them with a glare, as if they had seen everything.

    "As long as it is not proven guilty, it is innocent, Severus."He said firmly.

    Snape is very angry, and Filch is the same.

    "My cat is petrified, I hope to see someone punished!"

    "We can cure it, Filch."Dumbledore patiently said, "Mrs. Sprout recently got some Mandela grass, and once they grow mature, I have a medicine that can make Mrs. Norris is back to life. ”

    “I'm going to make it,” Lockhart said. “I have definitely made it a hundred times. I can dream about the mulberry resurrection.”

    "please forgive!"Snape said coldly, "I think I am the Potions teacher at this school."

    An embarrassing silence, Lockhart twisted his body uncomfortably.

    "You can go."Dumbledore told Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

    They tried to speed up their steps and almost ran away. When they came upstairs in the Lockhart office, they got into an empty classroom and gently closed the door.

    In the dark, Hermione squinted at Ivan, Harry and Ron.
