Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1359: Harry's Speculation

“I think Draco Malfoy gave Katie that necklace, professor.” Harry mustered courage to say.

He tried to make his voice sound more calm and persuasive.

Opposite him, Professor McGonagall's serious expression on his face is rapidly turning into stunning and absurd.

Ivan on Harry's left side covered his forehead with his left hand, as if he had expected him to say.

Hermione, who stood on his side, slipped his foot across the floor, as if he couldn't help but keep a certain distance from Harry; Elaine raised her right hand to her chest and held her fist, but Harry wasn't sure if she was supporting herself.

He knew that he was alone here, but he was not going to give up and was going to convince Professor McGonagall to believe him.

“It's a serious accusation, Harry!” Professor McGonagall said, "Do you have proof? ”

“No, but..." Harry said, telling Professor McGonagall the day they followed Malfoy to the Borkin-Bork store, eavesdropping on the conversation between him and Borkin, and their trip to the underground world deep down the alley.

Ivan secretly pulled Harry's sleeve for a moment, suggesting that he should stop talking down.

Harry reacted violently, and really shouldn't have mentioned anything about the underground world.

After all, they lost Malfoy that day and met the werewolf Fenrir Greyback in the underground world.

There's no end to this if it's explained, and what he needs to say now is Malfoy gave that necklace to Katie, and there's no need for extraneous branches.

Besides, Harry had no proof of any connection between Malfoy and the werewolves, but the four of them sneaked into the underground world of the overturned alley and met Greyback, which sounded like a very reckless and dangerous act. If Professor McGonagall were to know, her focus would certainly be on the matter.

“Well, then, a few of us go back!” Harry stopped.

Professor McGonagall didn't notice Ivan's little move, and she seemed a little confused after hearing Harry say it.

“You mean Malfoy took a thing to the Borkin-Bork store to fix? ”

“No, professor, he just wants Borgin to tell him how to fix a thing and not take it with him.” Harry hastily said, "But the problem is not here. The problem is that he also bought something at the same time, which I think is the necklace...”

“Did you see Malfoy leave the store with a package like that?” Professor McGonagall looks at several people.

“No, Professor, he asked Borgin to keep it in the store for him...”

“So you suspect Malfoy bought the necklace from Borgin?” Professor McGonagall frowned.

“Absolutely, I can be sure that the necklace is in the window of the Borkin-Bork store. ”

“Wait, Harry!” Hermione interrupts his words, "there are unreasonable places here. ”

“What doesn't make sense?” Harry asked angrily.

“Well, Ivan and I were late and didn't hear Malfoy and Borgin talking.” Hermione said, "But I remember you and Ron telling us that Borgin asked Malfoy if he wanted to take it away, Malfoy said no! ”

“Because he doesn't want to touch that thing, does it have to be said! ”

“His original words at the time were: I walked down the street with it like a word!” Hermione said.

“Really?” Harry paused, “I can't remember. Even so, what does it matter? ”

“It has a lot to do with it! This proves that the thing he keeps in the Borkin-Bork store is either big or it makes a lot of noise, so he can't walk down the street with it. Because he knew it would definitely get someone's attention.” Hermione said out loud, "Don't let Harry interrupt her," and I just remembered, I saw this necklace the other day, and he was put away by Borgin in the counter at the store, and I heard about it, remember? I walked into the store to find out what Malfoy wanted him to keep, I saw the necklace still there, Borgin told me the price of the necklace, 1500 gold gallons, he didn't say it was sold! ”

“That's because you're so conspicuous, he finds out what you want in five seconds, and he won't tell you.” Harry said, "And Malfoy can be ordered by mail...”

“Enough!” Hermione just wanted to open his mouth and Professor McGonagally said, "Potter, thank you for telling me this, but we can't just blame Mr. Malfoy randomly for visiting the store where he might sell this necklace and possibly thousands of people who went to that store. Moreover, this year we have strengthened our strict security precautions, and I do not believe that necklace will enter this school without our knowledge. ”

“But…”

“And a little bit more.” Professor McGonagall put an end to this topic in a staggering tone, "Mr. Malfoy said today without going to Hogsmeade village. ”

Harry stared at her stunned and suddenly exhaled.

“How do you know, Professor? ”

“Because he's been confined to me, he hasn't done his homework in deformation class twice in a row.” Professor McGonagall said, turning to Evan, "Evan, is there anything else you'd like to add to this? ”

“No!” Ivan shook his head.

“Good!” Professor McGonagall stood up and she walked past them, "Thank you for sharing these suspicions with me, but I need to say that if you're going to flip alleys or more dangerous places next time, you'd better report them in advance. You can go back now. I'm going to the hospital to see Katie Bell. ”

She opened the office door and Ivan, Harry, Hermione and Elaine walked out of her side one by one.

Harry seemed still angry because Ivan and Elaine were indifferent, Hermione's rebuttal, and Professor McGonagall's mistrust, and he went back to the public lounge, waiting for Ron to come back and recount the matter and speculation.

He wanted to seek support from Ron, who was obviously surprised and puzzled by the incident, but did not share Harry's view that his focus was on who Katie was going to hand over the necklace to.

In fact, a lot of people in schools have this possibility of being targeted.

Not to mention Dumbledore and the professors who are serving the Phoenix, even Slughorn.

Voldemort has always wanted to pull him over and now he must be very upset to see him on Dumbledore's side.

The reality should be quite unhappy, because in bright sight, Slughorn, as Voldemort's mentor, was the only one who knew that Voldemort had made his own apparatus, the exact number of apparatuses and the many unknown secrets about his student years. Voldemort wants to keep a secret, the first one that should be killed is Slughorn...
