Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 154 The Murderer Reappears
The boring life continued, and the little wizards gradually became numb from their initial anger.

"We can't go on like this, Albus, the students are listless in class now. Although they are calmer and less mischievous now, I'm really afraid that something will go wrong if this continues."

In the principal's room on the eighth floor, Professor McGonagall was sitting at Dumbledore's desk and said with a worried face.

"That's true, but Filch's actions are still somewhat effective. No little wizard has been killed these days, and Pomona's mandrake is about to mature. After this semester is over, we can use the summer vacation Activate the magic scan of the castle to search, then everything can be found out."

Dumbledore told lies without batting an eye, but he now understood that Voldemort was behind these things.

"But we can't continue like this, Albus, they are still students, we can't continue to suppress them like this, it's extremely detrimental to their physical and mental development."

"Ah, if that's the case... how about asking that Mr. Auror to reopen the Dueling Club? The wizards we cultivate will have to face these in the future. Can't go wrong."

"That's all I can do. I'll post the announcement."

Professor McGonagall nodded, sighed, turned and left the principal's room.

Dumbledore sat behind the table, looking at the automatically closed door with blue eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Professor McGonagall started working on this matter after returning to his office, first asking March for his opinion.

"Of course there is no problem. In fact, there are still some differences between the knowledge taught in school and its practical application."

March agreed immediately, he thought this was an opportunity to build a good relationship with the little wizards.

Because of Filch's coquettish operation, March found that the little wizards are starting to dislike him.

"Thank you, Madge, I'm off to put up the bulletin with that said, how do you feel about this Saturday?"

"Yes, I'm free anytime."

"As for the classroom, it can be arranged in the same classroom as last time, is that okay?"

"Of course, I wish for it. If this is the case, I will go back and think about what to teach. Professor, you know, some things are really not suitable for young wizards."

Professor McGonagall, who used to work in the Ministry of Magic, knew what March was talking about. Aurors often faced all kinds of vicious dark wizards, so they more or less had some deadly skills.

These must not be taught to little wizards.

March stood up, bowed slightly to the professor who had handed over to him, and then opened the door, preparing to leave Professor McGonagall's office.

"Oh!"

A red flare exploded over Hogwarts, attracting the attention of countless little wizards.

"Flare? Where did it come from?"

Professor McGonagall was watching March leave, but saw the signal flare the moment March opened the door, and immediately stood up and asked.

March didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "It seems to be on the sixth floor, I'll go there first, Professor McGonagall."

After finishing speaking, he rushed out regardless of Professor McGonagall's answer.

Along the way, the little wizards were all rushing to the sixth floor. A stone had finally been dropped from their ordinary life, and they all wanted to see the excitement.

March was squeezed into the crowd, and since most of the corridors had been closed, the little wizards could only squeeze into a few corridors, which greatly slowed down March's speed.

"Sorry, gentlemen and ladies, please let me go, I'm Tonroch March, I need to go to the scene to see the situation."

March was afraid that the voices of the little wizards around him would be too noisy to hear, so he specially used the Loud Voice Charm.

The little wizards glanced at March, and they all consciously stepped aside.

Although they hated March very much and wanted to watch the fun, the most urgent thing was to let this Mr. Auror go to the scene to investigate, so as to find the murderer.

March ran upstairs while thanking the little wizards around him.Before the little wizards could close together, Professor McGonagall ran up after him.

The little wizards looked at each other and ran up behind Professor McGonagall even more enthusiastically.

In a corner of the sixth floor, Neville Longbottom was huddled in the corner and sobbing constantly, Seamus Finnigan sat on the ground with blank eyes, his wand was tightly held in his hand, lying in front of them By Justin Finliery.

Justin's body was gray and white, and he was lying on the ground stiff, his chest didn't rise and fall, and he looked dead.

"What happened here?" March rushed to the scene, and immediately saw Justin lying on the ground, but fortunately, there were two witnesses this time.

When Seamus heard the sound, he immediately raised his wand and pointed it at March.March's wand slipped into his hand too, but he quickly put it away.

He just acted subconsciously just now, and this action has saved him several times.

"Well, boy, don't be afraid, tell me what's going on here."

Professor McGonagall quickly rushed over, and she patted Seamus' head and said.

Seamus saw Professor McGonagall and put down his wand.

At this moment, Professor Dumbledore also arrived.

"Son, can you tell us what happened?" Dumbledore asked.

The appearance of Dumbledore gave Seamus a little courage. He pursed his lips and said in a slightly trembling voice: "We...we are here to contact the magic spell. Because... because the final exam needs to be taken, That's why we... Neville and I were walking ahead, and suddenly we heard a sound behind us, and we... we saw this."

"So, did you see anything else?" Dumbledore asked kindly as he pulled Seamus up from the ground.

Seamus shook his head dejectedly.

On the other side, Neville was also pulled up by Professor McGonagall.Professor McGonagall patted the dust off Neville's body, and wiped the tears and snot from Neville's face with his own handkerchief.

"It's a snake, I saw it, it has scales on its body, it must be a snake!"

Neville cried out suddenly.

The professors looked at each other, and Dumbledore also made up his mind.

"Get out of the way! You are all so blocked, don't you know that you need to leave some space for the patients to breathe fresh air!" Madam Pomfrey's violent voice sounded.

She ran from the second floor to the sixth floor but suffered a lot.

The young wizards quickly made way for Madam Pomfrey to let her in.

"How is it, Poppy?" Dumbledore asked.

"Fortunately, it's just petrification, not life-threatening." After a brief inspection, Madam Pomfrey took Justin down with the Levitating Charm.
