In the abandoned classroom, Harry carefully told Charles about the Gringotts robbery, the room guarded by the three-headed dog, his suspicions about Snape and who was Nico Flamel.
After hearing this, Charles thought for a long time and got some inspiration.
If someone really threw wood flies into the second greenhouse, then this person must have a certain motive, otherwise he would not risk being fired.
Starting from motivation, there are only herbs used in the Herbology class at Hogwarts and flowers and plants cultivated by oneself in the greenhouse. At present, it seems that no one has the motive to destroy the Herbology class, but if they want to destroy the plants they cultivated, their motive is to be with themselves.
Have a grudge.
Last night, Charles filtered through the people in Hogwarts who might have a grudge against him. Eleanor's suitors could be excluded. They just regarded him as a little kid. It was even more unlikely that Snape had any deep grudge against him.
Destroying the teaching of Herbology, Voldemort would only do this if his head was kicked by Hagrid, and in the end only one person was left.
He remembered Malfoy's inexplicable provocative smile when he first returned to the castle. Looking back now, he may know what happened, and he may have a grudge against him and have a motive for committing the crime.
Charles just had suspicions and no further evidence to confirm, so he just prepared veritaserum and would use it after finding the evidence.
Now he decided, just like Harry and the others suspected Snape, to first assume Malfoy as the murderer and then look for clues.
Harry saw Charles thinking about the problem and thought he was thinking about what he just said.
Unexpectedly, Charles said to him: "You should study this matter carefully, I will leave beforehand."
After saying that, he left the abandoned classroom without looking back, leaving the Harry trio looking at each other.
Malfoy was knocked unconscious in the Quidditch pitch explosion today and is still hospitalized in the school infirmary. This is a good opportunity to take action.
It's just that it's late now, and Dumbledore will go to the kitchen to get a nightcap at any time. When a student is hospitalized in the ward, he goes back to ask about the situation.
Charles checked the contents of his bag and found that the polyjuice potion he bought in Knockturn Alley before school had been used on Halloween. To be sure, he had to find a new one.
"Polyjuice potion?" Eleanor frowned and looked at Charles, "This potion... involves many problems. What are you going to do?"
Charles hesitated and said very seriously: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you, but I promise I won't use it to do bad things."
What he is going to do next is a bit dangerous. If he is discovered, he might actually end up in Azkaban, so he needs to extract Eleanor.
Eleanor looked into Charles's determined eyes, pointed to the medicine shelf next to the laboratory and said: "There is a bottle of water of life and death there."
Charles said: "Thank you."
After he finished speaking, he put on a pair of gloves, walked to the medicine shelf and found the bottles with the Water of Life and Death and Polyjuice Potion on them, and then dropped two drops of Water of Life and Death into Eleanor's teapot.
Eleanor poured herself a cup of tea, smiled and said to Charles: "The floor is very cold now."
After finishing speaking, she drank the tea without hesitation.
Charles carried the sleeping Eleanor to the bed and settled her down, then selected a hair from the hair that had been prepared and prepared it to be put into the polyjuice potion.
At this moment, he hesitated, and after thinking for a moment, he put the polyjuice potion into the bag, replaced the old man's wand, put the bag under the bed, put the water of life and death into his pocket, and put the House Elf Magic Insole Door
I took out the key, adjusted the coordinates, and then walked out of the laboratory.
The castle was quiet at night, except for the sound of Filch's patrolling footsteps and Peeves' singing.
The school doctor's office was brightly lit, and the surrounding shelves were filled with various medicine bottles. Madam Pomfrey was reading quietly with a book in her hand, not noticing that a drop of water flew in silently.
In the teacup.
She yawned, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the slightly cold black tea, then fell asleep on the table two seconds later.
A medicine bottle appeared out of thin air in the nearby ward, and a drop of life-and-death water dripped into the mouth of a sleeping student. He wouldn't wake up for a while.
Malfoy was on the bed next to him. He already thought he was fine, but Madam Pomfrey asked him to stay under observation all night like the person who hit him.
He had fallen asleep when he suddenly felt a strange taste in his mouth and woke up.
"What's your name?"
The sudden sound startled Malfoy, but he found that the sheets wrapped his body so tightly that even his neck could not move.
The voice seemed familiar to him, but the emotionless tone was so terrifying and unfamiliar.
"Draco Malfoy."
Malfoy was given veritaserum and couldn't tell lies, but he could choose not to tell. However, the Malfoy family's ability to stand firm for a long time is that they know how to be cowardly when they need to be cowardly, so they answer all questions.<
/p>
A voice as cold as liquid nitrogen asked: "What bad things have you done recently?"
Malfoy immediately told all the bad things he had done during this period, most of which were bullying classmates in the same grade.
"I hated Smith so much that I bought a piece of wood with wood flies and threw it into the greenhouse where he grew flowers..."
Charles heard what he wanted, but he ran out of time.
"The true form appears!"
Dumbledore's voice sounded in the ward. There was nothing next to Malfoy's bed. After the spell passed, first a blue figure appeared, and then a figure wearing a Hogwarts uniform appeared.
"Charles?"
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, not expecting it to be him, but the next moment he asked sternly: "Who are you?"
The person beside the hospital bed couldn't be said to look very similar to Charles. It could only be said that he was exactly the same, but his temperament was completely different. He was cold and ruthless, reminding Dumbledore of Grindelwald and Voldemort.
Charles saluted Dumbledore in a very ancient way and said with some emotion: "Albus Dumbledore, long time no see, you are getting old too."
Dumbledore's eyes were fixed on the other person, the Elder Wand was pointed at him, and he asked again in a more stern voice: "Who are you?"
"Cut off one head and grow two." Charles said slowly, "You can call me Steve Rogers."
"We should have met a long time ago, but the day I went to see you, you were in the barn. I couldn't be bothered and had to visit another day. Unexpectedly, I had a more important mission soon, and we couldn't meet each other until today." p>
Dumbledore's brows furrowed even more. It would be fine if the other party mentioned other things, but when he mentioned the barn and hinted that he knew what happened inside, he couldn't be sure of the other party's details.
Charles continued: "We respect you very much and have no intention of being your enemy. Although we were offended by our visit this time, no one was harmed. My compensation will satisfy you."
"I will leave after asking Mr. Malfoy a question. I guess you also want to know the answer to this question."
Dumbledore's face was sullen, and the tip of the Elder Wand shone with light, but he did not cast a spell.
"Mr. Malfoy," Charles asked, "was it a blue cube that caused the explosion in your house? It looked like a crystal, with light emitting from the core."
Malfoy immediately replied nervously: "No, I don't have such a thing at home!"
At this time Dumbledore asked: "What is that?"
He was very surprised about the origin of this person. It seemed like an organization, so what they were looking for at the risk of invading Hogwarts must not be a simple item.
Charles replied: "I don't know. We wanted to invite you to study together that year, but just when I was about to visit you again, it was stolen. The last time it was seen was on June 30, 1908, in Gutons, Siberia.
, his whereabouts from now on are unknown."
"We suspect that it is the creation of a wizard on another planet."
Before Dumbledore could say anything or do anything, Charles said: "It's time for me to go back. I suggest you read "The Secret of Advanced Dark Arts."
After saying that, he activated the insole door key and disappeared into the ward.
Dumbledore just watched him leave quietly, his brows furrowed.
He went over to check on Malfoy and asked what happened just now.
Malfoy answered in detail, including the bad things he had done.
At this time, Charles appeared in Eleanor's laboratory. He immediately went to the study to pour a cup of tea containing water of life and death, drank it and put it in his mouth. The teacup fell to the ground casually. He then went to the bedroom to take off his clothes and shoes and fold them.
He placed it neatly at the end of the bed, took the old man's wand in a bag and put it on top of his clothes, cast two cleaning charms on himself, and finally lay down next to Eleanor in a farewell pose before swallowing the tea.
