Chapter 256: Used veritaserum

Soon after, the incident about Mr. Crouch should come to an end. The final answer Dumbledore could only give was to strengthen the management of the Hogwarts campus. As the principal of Hogwarts, he submitted to the Ministry of Magic At the request, a group of Aurors were transferred to Hogwarts to ensure the order and safety of the campus before the start of the third competition.
Mrs. Maxim and Kakarov finally accepted this compromise, and what is even more confusing is that, even so, Mr. Crouch, as if he was a thief, still said that he could not get sick and disappeared into people's vision.
At least among some insiders, this is the case.
"Oh! They are slanders, there is no evidence. The principals of those two schools want to make an excuse to trip Dumbledore!" Percy said loudly with his friends in the auditorium. Defend his boss and the roots of power.
"I personally visited Mr. Crouch's house. He was really weak lying on the bed at the time. To be honest, if he was not for office, he went to San Mungo Hospital for treatment."
"What's more, how could he come from his house thousands of miles away to attack a top three player? Is there any need for him to do this?" Percy said, shaking his head half-truly.
If, according to common sense, Percy’s second part of the statement is okay, because any criminal’s criminal behavior requires motivation, but he has lied in front of what he said is true and credible.
He hasn’t been to Crouch’s house. As the relationship between his boss and his subordinates, it seems that the two of them haven’t been close enough to invite home to be a guest. These are just his useless vanity, which seems to make others higher. Look at him.
The other students at the dining table nodded their heads in deep conscience, followed by the echo, and as Hogwarts students, they also tended to be more likely to be a conspiracy of Dermstrand, maybe Krum and Kakarov cooperated with a bitter plan.
Either Krum himself accidentally broke his head and made a mistake.
As far as Percy was chattering at the end of the long table, the other end of the long table, the Gryffindor trio were also whispering.
"Harry, this is a questionable and vigilant thing." Hermione handed the empty bowl back to the long table, shook her slender index finger, and said seriously to Harry.
"I believe that one person has hallucinations, but it is impossible for two people to have hallucinations, unless someone has used magic on you, which is even worse."
"Of course I believe that the two of you will not lie, and the probability that you will be hallucinated by the magic is very low. I believe Dumbledore must be able to see whether you were sober at the time." Hermione said firmly.
"I only believe in Harry." Ron disagreed.
"Wickor's words were partly unreliable. I asked him separately. He said he didn't see the attacker's face because he was attacked by the person behind him. In his view, only Mr. Crouch."
When he heard the first half of the sentence, Ron's face was a little ugly, and his attention went to Hermione and the Quidditch star alone.
"But we can't be sure, are we?" Hermione knocked on the table, and the bright and bright eyes were scary.
"The culprit may be someone else. After you left, maybe someone else appeared on the scene, for example?"
"You mean...Professor Moody, do you doubt him?" Harry's face was a little ugly, and the lightning-shaped scar was twisted by frowning.
"Of course, he also has suspicions, but the main thing I want to express is not that he has suspicions, but that we cannot limit our eyes to one place." Hermione said sternly.
Without the annoying Rita Skeet, Hermione has more energy and patience to analyze these things. If she follows the original track, she will be stunned by Rita Skeet's report and jealous of her. Female students will also retaliate against her.
So she had to work hard to fight back against the nasty woman and didn't pay attention to these things.
As for now, although she and Krum still have some lace news, but it is limited to this, and has not caused a huge impact on her life.
"Come here now." Hermione glanced around and found that the other students were all gone. "We have to take a lunch break," she temporarily stopped her analysis. "This afternoon is Snape's. Potion class." She added.
"Longbottom! Please use your brain that is comparable to pig's brain to remember what I said!" In the blink of an eye, it was time for the class, after Snape explained the operation method, and let the students of the two schools begin to practice, Neville's desk There is a great situation on the board.
This successfully made Snape face each other with bad words, and his wax-yellow face was full of grumpy emotions.
At this time, a thick bundle of flames suddenly jumped into the crucible in front of him, constantly twisting his demon figure, and the fire would spread to the ceiling in a blink of an eye, and it was constantly glowing around. High temperature air waves.
The students around Neville all stepped back a few steps at this time, Neville’s round face was sweating constantly, and his legs were trembling, but he wanted to do his best to save his own. Wrong, want to cast a spell with a wand.
"Enough!" Snape grabbed the wand he was about to cast with a slash, and then waved it very quickly, using a very fast spell with a syllable that everyone could not distinguish, a faint blue light from the flame As soon as the center passed through, the fire suddenly halted, and the surrounding air dropped a few degrees instantly.
"I'll consider giving Dumbledore a suggestion to ban Longbottom from experimenting with potions. This is for the safety of all students." Snape roughly threw Neville's wand on the ground. Then quickly walked back to the podium ~ EbookFREE.me ~ the dark eyes stared straight ahead, the sounding said.
Neville slowly picked up his wand, his face unclear.
"Hermione! He has run out of truth spray!" And Harry reached out his hand eagerly, showing something, and shouted towards Hermione beside the seat.
He was obviously in a state of absent-mindedness, and he didn't hear what Snape was saying.
He heard a crisp sound of glass collision just now. His eyes looked in the direction of the sound. He bent down and found a small crystal bottle on the ground. This should be Snape rushed to Neville just now. It fell out of the robe.
Harry remembered what this crystal bottle looked like when he was last threatened by Snape.
Last time it was filled with clear and transparent potions, but now it is empty.
Hermione seemed to be taken aback by the situation in front of her. She looked at Harry's hand in this empty crystal bottle.
