"You say, how could Sirius get hurt?" Ron asked idly, and they were all back in the snow.
In fact, in such a time when the weather is changeable and just like playing, travelling is obviously not a pleasant thing, and worse, the longer they stay, the worse the weather will become.
They tightened their cloaks again, fastened their scarves and put on their gloves; then they followed Katie bell and one of her friends out of the bar and back on the road. As they trudged back through the frozen snow on the ground, Harry's thoughts floated to Ginny.
They didn't meet her, Harry thought, no doubt because she and Dean were comfortably hiding in the padeve teahouse, a place frequented by happy couples.
He frowned, lowered his head in the swirling sleet, and went on.
"I don't know, but Tonks said it was an attack. Obviously, the news of the order of the Phoenix operation has been leaked out." Van Lin frowned, holding Hermione in one hand.
In fact, if there was no accident, the information leaked by the operation should have something to do with Professor Snape's mission.
They always have to pay some corresponding price to get success.
However, Fanlin does not rule out that Mundungus betrayed the order of the Phoenix, but the probability is really a little low. Mundungus should not have the courage
Fanlin frowned, thinking about the possibility between the two. As for other possible factors, Fanlin could not doubt Lu Ping and his body. After a while, van Lin suddenly heard the voice of Katie bell and her friend. Their voice became sharper and louder, and it came to van Lin's ear along with the wind.
Fanlin squinted at the two vague figures. The two girls were arguing about something, as if it had something to do with what Katie was holding in her hand.
"It's none of your business, Lynn!" Fanlin heard Katie say. They turned into an alley.
"What's wrong with them?" Harry asked, trying to see what was going on, but the sleet was getting bigger and bigger, obscuring Harry's glasses. Just as he raised a gloved hand to wipe the spectacles, Lynn snatched Katie's package; Katie pulled it back and it fell to the ground.
Just then, Katie rose into the air, not hanging upside down like Ron, but very graceful and slow, her hands stretched out as if to fly. But there seems to be something wrong, something strange Her hair was blown up by the wind, but her eyes were closed, and there was no expression on her face.
For a moment, all the people were frozen there, staring at her. Then, six feet above the ground, Katie screamed in horror. She opened her eyes, but it was clear that everything she saw and felt was extremely painful. She kept screaming; Lynn started screaming too, pulling Katie's ankle and trying to pull her back to the ground.
Harry, Ron, vaseline and Hermione rushed to help, but as soon as they touched Katie's leg, she floated over their heads. Harry and Ron tried to hold her, but she twisted so hard that she couldn't control it. Instead, they lowered her to the ground, where she lay screaming and shouting as if she didn't know any of them.
"What happened?" Exclaimed Vaseline, pressing her hands on Katie's shoulder. "Harry, get help!"
"Stay here!" Harry yelled to the others in the roaring wind. "I'll get someone to help me!"
He ran in the direction of the school; he had never seen anyone with Katie's symptoms, and couldn't figure out what caused it; he made a quick turn around the alley and felt like he had hit a giant bear's hind leg.
"Hagrid Harry gasped and got up from the nearby hedgerow.
"Harry!" Hagrid's eyebrows and beard were covered with snow, and he was wearing the coarse beaver coat. "I just went to see Gloop, and he had a great time, and you wouldn't --"
"Hagrid, there's someone who's injured, or attacked by a spell, or something --"
"what?" Hagrid said he bent down to try to hear Harry clearly in the wind. "Someone has been attacked by a spell!" Harry roared. "Attacked by a spell? Who was attacked by the spell - not Ron? Fanlin? Hermione
"No, not a few of them, it's Katie bell - this way..." They ran back down the alley together. After a while, four of them were found around Katie, still writhing and screaming on the ground; Ron, Hermione, and Lynn were trying to calm her down.
"Back off!" Said Hagrid aloud. "Let me see her!"
"What did she get?" Lynn sobbed. "I don't know what -"
"be careful, Hagrid, Katie's cursed." Van Lin said, through the contact of objects to release magic, in addition to curse, Fanlin simply did not think of any magic can do.
Hagrid stares at Katie for a second, then picks her up without saying a word and runs towards the castle. After a few seconds, Katie's shrill screams dissipated in the roaring wind.Hermione walks quickly to Katie's friend, who is still crying. Hermione puts an arm around her.
"Your name is Lynn, aren't you?" The girl nodded. "Did it just happen suddenly, or did it --"
"It was when the package was torn," Lynn sobbed, pointing to the soaked Brown package, which had split and had a green glow inside. Ron bent down and held out his hand, but Vaseline pulled it back.
"Don't touch it." Van Lin crouched down. A beautiful opal necklace was revealed from the wrapping paper.
"I've seen this before," said Vaseline, staring at the thing. "A few years ago, bogin bock showed it. The label on it says the necklace is cursed. Katie must have touched it. "
He looked up at Lynn, and she began to tremble involuntarily.
"How did Katie get this?"
"Well, that's what we were arguing about. She came out of the three broom bathroom with this one and said it was a surprise for someone in Hogwarts and she was going to deliver it herself. She looks strange when she says it No, oh, no, I'll bet she must be under the control of the soul snatcher. I didn't realize that! "
Lynn sobbed again. Hermione patted her gently on the shoulder.
"Didn't she tell you who gave her this package, Lynn?"
"No She wouldn't tell me I said she was too stupid to take this to school, but she just didn't listen And then I wanted to grab it Then - and then - "Lynn burst into tears of despair.
"We'd better hurry back to school," Hermione still hugged Lynn, "so we can know how she's doing. Come on... "
"Wait a minute!" Van Lin drew out his magic wand, and the ice and snow around it melted quickly. Then, the transparent water wrapped the necklace. "We have to show this to Madame Pomfrey. This curse is very troublesome. We must know what Katie got in the end."
They followed Hermione and Lynn to school, and Harry's head was spinning. When they came to the school playground, he finally couldn't help saying what he thought.
"Malfoy must know about the necklace. Four years ago, it was put in a small box in the bogin bock store. When I was hiding, I saw him carefully observe the necklace. This is what he bought the day we followed him! He remembered it and came back to buy it. "
"I - I don't know, Harry," said Ron haltingly. "A lot of people have been to bogin bock And didn't that girl say Katie was found in the bathroom? "
"She said she took it when she came back from the bathroom, and she didn't necessarily get it in the bathroom -"
"Professor McGonagall!" Ron warned him. Harry looked up. Sure enough, Professor McGonagall stepped down the stone steps and came up to them in the whirling snow.
"Hagrid said the four of you saw Katie Bell's accident - please come to my office immediately! What do you have, Vaseline
"That necklace, Katie was cursed for touching it, and I think Madame Pomfrey might need it."
Professor McGonagall looked at Van Lin nervously, and without hesitation, grabbed the ice in his hand.
"Good. Let's go." Professor McGonagall said quickly, "no, no, filch, they're going to follow me!" Professor McGonagall hastened to see ferchgor rush from the hall with his secret device high. "Send this necklace to Professor Snape immediately. Don't touch it. The ice won't melt."
"Oh, yes, generally speaking, so there's no problem, professor."
Several of van Lim's men watched filch go to Snape, and they followed Professor McGonagall upstairs to her office. The windows splashed with rain and snow kept creaking, and the room was still cold, although there was a fire. Professor McGonagall closed the door and went to her desk, facing Harry, Ron, Vaseline, Hermione and Lynn, who was still smoking and answering.
"So?" She said sharply. "What happened?"
Lynn tried to control her crying. She told Professor McGonagall off and on how Katie came out of the bathroom with three brooms and an unmarked package in her hand. How strange Katie looked and how they argued about the wisdom of passing on the unknown. Later, their argument turned into a fight for the package, which was torn open Yes. At this point, Lynn can't control herself any more. She can't say a word.
"Well," said Professor McGonagall gently, "please go to the school hospital, Lynn, and ask Mrs. Pomfrey to give you some medicine to treat your fright."
After Lynn left the office, Professor McGonagall turned to look at Harry, Ron, van Lin and Hermione. "What happened when Katie touched the necklace?"
"She's up in the air," Harry said before everyone else. "And then he started screaming, and the whole thing collapsed. Professor, may I see Professor Dumbledore
"The headmaster is not here until Monday, Potter," Professor McGonagall looked surprised."No?" Repeated Harry angrily.
"Yes, Potter, not in!" Professor McGonagall said sharply. "But I'm sure you can tell me what you think of this terrible thing."
Harry hesitated for a moment. In front of Professor McGonagall, he was less confident; Dumbledore, though more frightening in many ways, seemed less likely to laugh at other people's views, no matter how crazy they were. But it was a matter of life and death, and Harry couldn't care to be laughed at.
"I think that necklace was given to Katie by Draco Malfoy, professor." Ron, standing next to him, rubbed his nose in embarrassment; Hermione on the other side moved her foot to the side, as if to keep a distance from Harry.
In fact, Harry has found the truth, but he has no proof.
Fanlin looked at Harry with some headache. Harry has always been like this since he was young. He does things according to his feeling
"That's a very serious charge, Potter," Professor McGonagall said, stunned. Is there any evidence? "
"No," said Harry, "but
He told Professor McGonagall that they had followed Malfoy to bogin Bock, and that they had overheard the conversation between him and bogin. After he said that, Professor McGonagall looked confused.
"Malfoy brought some things to the bogin bock shop?"
"No, professor. He just wanted bogin to tell him how to fix it. He didn't take it with him. But it's not the key. The problem is what else he bought at the same time. I think it's the necklace -- "
" did you see Malfoy leave the store with a similar package in his hand? "
"No, Professor, he asked bogin to take care of it for him --" but Harry, "Hermione interrupted." Malfoy said 'no' - "
" because he didn't want to touch it, obviously! " Said Harry angrily.
"In fact, what he said was," what do I look like with this thing in the street? " "Said Hermione.
"Well, he looks a bit silly with a necklace," interrupted Ron.
"Oh, Ron," said Hermione disappointedly, "it can be wrapped so that he doesn't have to touch it, and it's easy to hide in his cloak so that no one can see it! I think the thing he left at bogin bock was either noisy or big; he knew it would attract attention if he carried it on the street - but anyway, "she snapped out before Harry interrupted," I asked bogin about that necklace, don't you remember? I went in and tried to find out what Malfoy had put in his custody and saw it there. And bogin only made an offer, and he didn't say it was sold or anything -- "
" but it's too obvious that he can see what you want in about five seconds, and of course he won't tell you - anyway, Malfoy can ask him to send it. "
Hermione looks angry, and she's about to refute, McGonagall But he said, "that's enough! Porter, I appreciate your telling me about it, but we can't blame Malfoy just because he's patronizing the necklace store. A lot of people went there like him -- "
" - that's what I mean - "Ron muttered.
"- and in any case, we've put in place strict security measures this year, and I don't believe that this necklace can get into school without knowing it --"
"- but --"
"- and," said Professor McGonagall with dignity to end the conversation, "Mr. Malfoy didn't go to Hogsmeade today." Harry looked at her with an air of relief.
"How do you know, professor?"
"Because he's in confinement with me. He hasn't finished his deformation homework twice in a row. So, thank you for telling me your suspicions, Potter, "she strode past them," but I have to go to the school hospital and see Katie bell. Good day, ladies and gentlemen. "
She opened the door of the office. They had no choice but to go out without saying a word.
