Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

Harry was stunned by his shamelessness and acting skills, and yelled: "You are acting stupid! It's obviously you who planned to let Dumbledore resign!"

"Even if you are the so-called'boy who survived catastrophe,' Mr. Potter." Lucius turned his attention to the aggrieved boy, with a cold smile on his mouth, he warned, "Maybe the adults around you I have given you the illusion that you can do whatever you want, but Malfoy will not let go of this slander. I have no reason to attack Dumbledore. If you don’t take back your..."

At this moment Dumbledore interrupted him, and he smiled as if everything was in his grasp: "Malfoy, I have to tell you that there are at least four witnesses who can prove that you were there and that Harry said It’s not a false lie—thank you for speaking to me, Harry—and that includes Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge."

Harry stepped back angrily. Lucius frowned and said sharply: "This is impossible, why should I remove your position? Only if you are still sitting in this position can Zoe go to school steadily. I promised that as long as you don’t betray, I will not oppose you in the school board. I have kept my promise, but now you have found a kid to accuse me, Dumbledore, what do you want to do!"

His words didn't seem to be false at all, but a real offended anger.Lucius' eyes flickered with anger until Dumbledore took out a roll of parchment and handed it to him.He opened it suspiciously, scanned the content on it, and his face changed drastically.Suspicion and fear suddenly took over the lanky face.

Lucius put his face on the parchment and verified the signatures over and over again. Under the power of the oath spell, the signatures of the thirteen school directors gleamed in dark light, and they were written on the front of the thirteen names. The name, and the Malfoy family seal that cannot be faked on it, seemed like ironclad evidence that Harry said was true.

"Is there anything you want to deny, Mr. Malfoy?" Harry's sarcastic words brought Lucius back from the blank mind.Lucius's hand holding the parchment shook slightly, and the side of the parchment was almost crushed into a mess.His face was as white as paper, all the blood faded

Dumbledore stopped the agitated Harry. He looked at Lucius, but didn't speak, but let Lucius' face change again and again.Lucius' lips trembled, and it took a long time to squeeze out a word: "This is... what's going on?"

"Has the Malfoy's house been stolen?" Dumbledore asked.

"Impossible. The seal has always been on me, and only the name written by myself will be affected by the contract." Perspiration oozes from Lucius' forehead. "It can only be done by me. But I have no relevant memories. No."

Dumbledore looked at him like a reminder: "Have you received anyone recently?"

"People? No...Due to the threat of the secret room, there were not many people at this year's banquet. Everyone was at risk. Later, there were even pure-blood injuries. Although Lovegood and Weasley are no different, they are both freaks. ..." Lucius showed a contemptuous expression.

"I don't believe him, Professor Dumbledore! He just wants to shirk responsibility, he even framed Hagrid!"

"Framed?" Lucius looked at Harry weirdly, and then smiled. "That's not framed, Potter. Ruber Hagrid was dropped out of Hogwarts fifty years ago because of a monster he raised. It’s...ha, I heard that you are very close to that big man. Don’t you think he is sometimes aggressive? He likes monsters and raises monsters. That man is a humanoid monster."

Harry's face flushed red, and he felt the anger crash into his chest. He couldn't bear Hagrid being degraded, but he was still restraining himself.Until Dumbledore said leisurely: "Regarding this matter, even if you want to protect someone, you have indeed framed an innocent person, Malfoy. You are powerful and powerful in the Ministry, so you secretly channel the dissatisfaction. The voice of Connelly used Connelly’s weakness to force him to arrest Hagrid so that some people’s mouths could be blocked." Dumbledore said solemnly, "You heard something from someone’s mouth and thought you could Use it. Do you still have an impression of this thing?"

The things he took out made Lucius' face changed greatly.Lucius leaped forward, his eyes protruding from across the table.

"Tell me! Why do you own this thing...it, it belongs to..." He snatched the punctured diary and checked it over and over again. His eyelids jumped if he heard about Dumbledore because When his reason was removed, he was only aware that something was wrong, then he really smelled a conspiracy.

"Yes, the thing your master gave you, the item from Voldemort's youth. You have been keeping it for him, and now it appears in Hogwarts, manipulating innocent students to open the secret room and trying to rise again." Harry It is rare to see Dumbledore's aggressive side, Lucius pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Tell me where you put your diary."

"I keep it at home! Keep it there!" Lucius yelled in horror. "It should have been hidden well by me, no one knows! Do you think I will run around with the Dark Lord's things? Who committed the crime at Hogwarts? Zoe will be suspected, she will be the first to be suspected! I must keep Max's child, I swear!"

Harry was stunned. The development in front of him was too unexpected. Lucius had the diary, but his attitude was completely true. Harry didn't think he had done those things. He was like any fearful child. The injured father, Harry looked at Dumbledore for help, wanting to know his explanation.

Dumbledore took out his wand with his temple sticking between the wand. He drew two circles with the wand. Harry quickly looked at the other person and found that his face was very terrible. After realizing what had happened, he completely Sluggish expression.

But why didn't Dumbledore speak? Harry had no idea what they were playing.Dumbledore noticed his gaze and said to him, "Harry, I have something to talk to Malfoy. Can you please go out first?" His voice was clearly beyond doubt.

"But, Professor..."

"'Please' bring the door, Harry." Dumbledore eased his tone, "Sorry, Harry. But there are things you don't need to know now."

Chapter 30 The author says he wants a new sacrifice

"He drove you out like this, so you ran out obediently?" Hermione couldn't believe it. She couldn't control the volume, and could only embarrass her after Madam Pomfrey looked over condemningly. Smiled, "You, are you stupid, Harry?"

"It's not like what the'conformist' Granger would say, hell, did I come to another world?" Ron opened his mouth wide, and he raised his right arm so that he wouldn't feel the hotness. Pain, it makes him look silly.

"Shut up, Ron." Hermione glared at him. "You were bold when you violated the rules. Thanks to you, this year's Academy Cup Gryffindor was a complete failure."

Ron's face fell suddenly, and Hermione was stepping on his sore spot.The boy sighed, "We clearly found the secret room. Professor McGonagall knows this. This can offset the two hundred points. But she is unwilling to withdraw the deduction. Two hundred points, brother and they will kill me!"

"Uh, Ron, don't be discouraged." Hermione began to comfort him again. "You are heroes. Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley will be proud of you. You solved the incident!"

Harry shrugged: "Yes, you found the secret room, Siegel opened the secret room, the black-robed man solved Riddle, and finally Professor McGonagall settled everything... and Ron and I did nothing." Ron also looked at the wounded arm in annoyance, and Madam Pomfrey was too busy to help it heal quickly."Yes, I can only hide from rocks like a monkey, all because of damn Lockhart."

"But you joined the exploratory team. This is not something ordinary students can do. You also face a mysterious person. This requires a lot of courage." Hermione said sincerely, "I believe even if the situation is not the way it is now , You can also solve it."

The boys rarely heard Hermione say such blunt compliments, scratching her head embarrassedly, and giggling.

A hot, burning stimulus ran across Zoe’s head, and then a cold, freezing chill replaced it. Two opposing pains alternately attacked Zoe’s body. She found that she could not speak, she could only shiver. .It was pitch black all around, as if to fall into a bottomless abyss.

Her body was bound by invisible things, unable to move.She felt a screw in her head fall off, which did not bring her relief, but a surging fluid-or something else-overwhelmed her brain.She wanted to shout and struggle, but her body couldn't be controlled. She watched as she was locked on a stone platform with complicated magic texts carved around, densely packed like a colony of ants.

Harry and the others heard a crunch from Zoe's side, and ran to them quickly, and found that Zoe was straight, his slightly opened eyes were hollow and convulsed.She fell into a severe nightmare, and Hermione hurriedly suppressed her to prevent Zoe from knocking her head on the bedpost. Ron ran to call Madam Pomfrey over, with a solemn expression on Madam Pomfrey's face.

"I have never seen a child with this symptom. She should have woken up long ago, but she was dragged by something and couldn't wake up."

She didn't seem to be able to do anything about it. She could only apply a pungent ointment under her nose.Then he pointed his magic wand to the bed, and it seemed that some invisible twigs were binding her. The effect was good. Zoe's face looked much better, and he slowly stopped struggling.

Madam Pomfrey rolled her eyelids: "She's almost awake." Hermione stood nervously aside, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, after a while, Zoe's head moved, and then her eyelids quivered, trying to open them.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the three little lions surrounding her, and even Ron, who was not against her the most, helped when she wanted to sit up.

"What do you think, dear?" asked Madam Pomfrey.She felt that it would take all her strength to just open her mouth, and said hoarsely, "...I'm tired, ma'am."

"You still need to rest. Your mental damage is very abnormal. This is why you feel so tired. Overdraft." Madam Pomfrey stopped her from speaking and asked her to lie down again.

Satisfied with seeing Zoe closing her eyes obediently, Madam Pomfrey turned and said to the trio: "It's a pity that I have to ban her from meeting with other people until she recovers."

They accepted.

Time passed again, and this time the atmosphere at Hogwarts became much happier.Dumbledore's return, the closure of the secret room, and the recovery of the wounded, one after another happy events made the students' faces finally smile again.It is worth mentioning that due to this sudden incident, the final exam was cancelled.On the day the news was announced, the entire auditorium plunged into a sea of ​​cheers, which made no one hear Hermione Granger's sole complaint.

Hufflepuff won the Academy Cup that year.On the day of the announcement, Harry and Ron couldn't lift their heads at all, and Gryffindor's golden red completely lost its luster.According to the final statistics, only the Badger House, which has worked hard, has not been penalized for demerit points. The other three houses have more or less deducted points. Except for the badly hit Gryffindor, they are not very good at the Academy Cup. Concerned about Ravenclaw, the Slytherins gritted their teeth. They are almost only a few points away from Hufflepuff. This year they wanted to make a lot of points in the Quidditch game. Their broomstick is the latest and greatest. , But after the secret room was opened, fearing that there would be more injuries, the Quidditch Cup was discontinued. The Slytherin’s only "record" was the defeat to Gryffindor-under the long-term competitive relationship between the two houses, this Make them unable to be happy.

Even if they are second and Gryffindor is at the bottom, the humiliation will not decline.

Zoe opened his mouth, took the apple slice Hermione handed her, chewed twice, cheeks bulging on one side.She rolled her eyes and looked at the clinical Luna, who brazenly enjoyed the same treatment as her and was chewing on an apple.

"I think you have recovered long ago, Luna. If a healthy person occupies the bed, it will disturb Madam Pomfrey."

Luna’s hair is messy, she doesn’t bite something, she eats one third and then another third. She has to divide a small slice of apple into three bites, and she eats very slowly, so Hermione needs to spend it. More time stretched out his hand to her, Zoe thought she was just a rabbit.But the rabbit ignored Zoe’s suggestion. She held up the brand new beer cork necklace in her hand: “How about it, I think it’s done well. It can be hung on my neck. You know the last one was caught by me. Broken."

"To be honest, Luna, your necklace looks...er, very unique." Hermione finally learned to wink once, and swallowed the "tattered" she wanted to say.

"Thank you, they are cool, right?" Luna said, "I like to collect this. You might be able to bring me some new ones next year."

"What?" Hermione didn't understand.

"Students in the third grade can go to Hogwarts. This is a Hogwarts tradition." Hermione suddenly realized, "Yes! "Hogwarts, a school history" also wrote this, it It's a complete wizarding village! I really look forward to coming next semester, and there will definitely be many historical monuments there!"

"You may be disappointed, my dad said they almost transformed it into a complete resort." Luna shook her head, "Well, I still feel shaky until now. No matter who did it, he really helped me. Relax for a moment."

"I'll call Madam Pomfrey." Luna stopped Hermione. "I'm fine, I just said it casually. If you call Madam Pomfrey over, I will have to lie in bed until the day I leave. "

Zoe hugged his arms to watch the interaction between the two men, feeling a little bit apprehensive, Hermione is her friend!Now he cares about Luna so much.She deliberately coughed twice, and then said awkwardly when the other two people looked over: "You seem to have a good relationship."
