Chapter 286： Veritaserum and Amnesia

Chapter 286:

In the office of Principal Hogwarts, Dumbledore had a headache looking at Harry Potter trembling.

Filch's death was seen in public, and it was not easy to hide it.

But don't hide it, could it be that Harry was sent to Azkaban. Not to mention that he himself liked this child very much, he said that without Harry Potter as a bait, it is not easy to find the Horcrux that Voldemort left to resurrect himself.

Without Harry Potter, Voldemort's resurrection is just around the corner.

More importantly, he didn't believe that Harry would suddenly kill Filch.

There must be someone behind this, but he has to do one thing before that.

Dumbledore took out a magic wand and looked at it with a complicated look. This is not an ordinary wand, but the most powerful wand in the world. The old wand is different from other wands that can only cast spells steadily. The old wand can more than double his power. The power of magic and spells.

Forget it!

Dumbledore aimed his old wand at Harry Potter.

Harry Potter's memories from the night were forcibly forgotten at this moment and walked back to his bedroom like a robot.

Dumbledore did not stop, but left the principal's office and raised the old magic wand. The professors who were caught off guard were all shrouded in oblivion and returned to their own bedrooms under the effect of the Forgotten Curse.

Then came the student dormitories, and all the students in Hogwarts were casted the Forgotten Curse.

Continuously cast a large number of Forgetting Curses, even with Dumbledore's magic power, he was half tired.

If he has an old magic wand in a few years, he may not be able to do it. Although he is already the most powerful white wizard in the world, his body will gradually decline as he ages. The way to live long is not just one by one. Both have too many side effects.

His most proud disciple, Voldemort, did not split his soul to make Horcruxes at his peak to try to live forever.

As a result, he really lived for a long time, but because of the side effects of splitting the soul, he turned into an extreme lunatic. If it were not for the hidden dangers of excessively splitting the soul, how could he be bounced back by a protection curse by Harry's mother back then? Give the rebound to death.

Dumbledore returned to the office, and Snape had waited for a while with Zhao Mu and Hermione.

Seeing Hermione also appeared, Dumbledore looked at Snape in surprise.

"He has been teaching Hermione the spell..."

Snape said everything he knew.

Dumbledore looked at Zhao Mu deeply. Although Rowan had perfect alibi, it was too suspicious that he was a demon hunter. It happened to have Hermione testify to him at this critical time today. Although the possibility is small, Hermione may have lied.

He was very optimistic about this child, and planned to train her as Harry's helper.

But now it seems that he needs to choose another person.

"To prove your innocence, take Veritaserum."

Dumbledore said solemnly.

"What if I refuse?"

Zhao Mu said angrily.

"Then you are the murderer who killed Filch."

Dumbledore said without question.

"Filch is dead?"

Zhao Mu asked in surprise, pretending to be completely unaware.

"You are the first suspect."

Dumbledore nodded.

"I'm here to take Veritaserum. She is still young and shouldn't be tortured."

Zhao Mu gritted his teeth and said.

"No way!"

Dumbledore shook his head flatly.

Veritaserum is not a panacea. He is worried that Rowan can resist Veritaserum, even if he can resist Hermione, he must know whether Rowan participated in the incident behind Harry’s killing of Filch. If he can prove that he is innocent. The natural will be compensated.

"I would drink Veritaserum."

Hermione said stubbornly, wiping her tears.

She and Professor Rowan are obviously innocent, but Professor Dumbledore wants to use Veritaserum on them.

At this moment, she was extremely disappointed in Hogwarts.

"Snape."

Dumbledore said.

Snape took out a small copper bottle from his pocket, picked up two cups from Dumbledore’s table, poured more in one and less in the other. The latter had a small portion, but It's enough for Hermione.

Zhao Mu stepped forward, picked up the cup and drank, and soon the whole person entered a state of confusion.

Hurry up, Snape started asking sharp questions.

Hermione was shocked to hear that Filch was killed by Harry, and she knew that Professor Rowan was once the wizard’s enemy, the Demon Hunter. He did not lie to herself on the train. She now finally understands why Dumbledore. Veritaserum is used.

Understanding is understanding, but it does not mean that she agrees with Dumbledore's approach.

After asking the question quickly, Snape shook his head disappointedly, picked up another cup and handed it to Hermione.

Hermione drank it in one sip and quickly lost her mind completely.

After reconfirming the same answer, Snape looked at Dumbledore with a look of fear on his face.

Rowan is innocent, and the biggest suspect left is Voldemort.

Harry Potter was called the savior of the magic world, and he defeated Voldemort's resurrection plan last year and destroyed part of Voldemort's soul. It is indeed possible that Voldemort, who is lurking in the dark, may temporarily control Harry to kill Filch through the Imperius Curse.

This has too many benefits for Voldemort, the first major benefit is that Harry Potter will be discredited.

Dumbledore felt more headache, and he also doubted Voldemort, who had not been listed as the first suspect before, simply because he did not believe that Voldemort would recover so quickly, but if it wasn't for Voldemort, who else could do it.

Forget it!

Dumbledore casually released the Forgotten Charm on Zhao Mu and Hermione.

In Hogwarts, in the end, only Dumbledore and Snape knew what happened.

Tomorrow a brand new day, Filch will become a retiree.

As for Dumbledore and Snape, they were no longer ready to let the basilisk exist.

Although they don’t know the formal passage of the secret room, it is certain that the pipes in the wall can lead to the secret room. However, when they entered the underground secret room, they only saw a few snake scales. The basilisk who attacked Mrs. Loris not long ago Has disappeared without a trace.

I looked for clues many times, but in the end there was no clue.

Dumbledore had to admit that he lost to Voldemort this time Voldemort no longer had the brainless rampage like last year, but used Harry to avenge the breakthrough point, which is absolutely for him A news that is too bad to be bad.

Dumbledore discovered for the first time that his control of Hogwarts was not strong enough.

...

Hermione lowered her head and her eyes were flushed with water.

First is Veritaserum, then the Forgotten Curse.

If it weren't for Professor Rowan to secretly remind her to use Occlumency when he went to the principal's office, and to help her restore her forgotten memories just now, I am afraid she would have completely forgotten everything that happened tonight like everyone else.

Principal Dumbledore, let her realize what an adult is and what a politician is.

What made her even more uncomfortable was Harry Potter. If he really didn’t kill anyone, why would Principal Dumbledore use the Forgotten Charm to hide Filch’s death and exonerate Harry? Harry and Ron are her best friends , But now the word friend makes her feel more frightened.
