A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 545 Draco Malfoy's Confession

"He did it," Harry murmured.

"Potter, come with me to the school hospital, you need to get a good night's sleep," said Professor McGonagall.

"No, wait, Professor McGonagall. I know what Voldemort has done, what he's been plotting all this time! It's a wand, a handy wand."

Professor McGonagall stared at him, with his mouth tightly pursed, and it took him a long time to say, "If you're talking about the 'Elder Wand', Professor Haip has already refuted the rumor..."

"Not the one in the professor's hand." Harry said loudly, "it was too late, he got a wand from under a snake tree, and it looked very extraordinary, just like a legendary wand..." His The voice slowed down, and his mind turned wildly: "It's the snake staff! He got Salazar Slytherin's snake staff."

Several people gasped.

"The seventh out of ten wands?" asked Ron.

"What? Oh." Harry said blankly, still lost in his own thoughts: "Yes, that's Voldemort's purpose, he doesn't care about the Elder Wand...nor, of course he wants to, but from Hape It was too difficult for the professor to get it, and he was not sure if it was true or not... So he deliberately provoked disputes and made trouble for the professor, so as to cover up his investigation of other wands..."

Snape looked at Harry with a complicated look.

"But how does he know where the snake stick is?" Professor McGonagall asked dryly.

"He has been pursuing similar rumors, and many people have disappeared." Sirius said: "For example, the owner of Florin's ice cream shop, we suspect that he was taken away because of this incident. He—"

"He is a descendant of Dexter Fusco, the former headmaster of Hogwarts, and his ancestors have legends of mastering powerful wands." Hermione said sharply, and then glanced at Sirius cautiously. Got it, right?"

Sirius smiled at her.

"It's all right," Harry hammered his palm with a fist. "He worked hard and finally got the wand that suits him best."

"Where has the Dark Lord gone?" Snape asked abruptly.

"I don't know," Harry shook his head. "I only saw a building complex on a hill, which looks a bit like Hogwarts... By the way, there are two huge statues on both sides of the main entrance."

"The top of the mountain is similar to Hogwarts, and there are two statues at the entrance..." Hermione racked her brains to recall where she had heard this statement.

"That's right, those two statues are a man and a woman, but I really didn't notice it, no, Voldemort probably didn't care..." Harry looked at Hermione expectantly, hoping to get an answer immediately.After a few seconds—

"Ilvermorny!"

"Ilvermorny."

Hermione and Neville said at the same time.

Everyone looked at Neville, and Neville scratched his head, "Byers told me a lot about his school, including the tree you mentioned. As you know, I am very interested in herbal medicine class, so I asked more A few words... But what I heard was different. Byers told me that the two founders of the school planted an unknown snake tree outside the school, which could not be cut down and destroyed. Later, people found the tree The leaves have powerful medicinal effects."

"I'll notify Dumbledore immediately." Professor McGonagall said decisively.She pulled out her wand, and a silver patron saint flew out from the tip of the wand, flew towards the outside of the school, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Harry felt slightly relieved.

"So, Potter—" Professor McGonagall looked at Harry.

"I don't need to go to the school hospital," Harry said hastily, "I'm fine, it's happened to me before...just take a break, or get some air." He made an excuse for himself.

Sirius cleared his throat: "Well - I'll take him out for a walk, it's nearby."

"Well, then, I'll tell Dumbledore all of this," said Professor McGonagall reluctantly, and she left in a hurry.

The others were also about to leave, when they suddenly realized that there was another person on the scene - not Snape, his presence was too strong, just standing here unconsciously gave off air-conditioning, scaring the other students away —was the other man hiding behind Snape.

"Draco Malfoy!? Why are you here?" Ron almost dropped his jaw in shock.

Harry and Hermione were breathless, and Malfoy knew it!He knew I (Harry) could see Voldemort's mind!He knew it, Lucius Malfoy knew it, and what about Voldemort...

The remaining five people figured it out at the same time.After a disturbing silence.

Sirius drew his wand silently, and Snape said slowly, "Give him to me, Black—"

"Go away if you don't want to get hurt, I'm not kidding," Sirius said.

"Really?" Snape reached into his pocket, where his wand was, and said expressionlessly, "You're still so impulsive and arrogant, with no regard for consequences."

"I know what I'm doing," said Sirius dryly.

Draco took a step back in shock from his eyes, his face pale.

Snape stared at Sirius and said softly, "Oh? You know what you're doing... like in school, in the Screaming Shack?"

The muscles on Sirius' face suddenly trembled with excitement.He knew what Snape was talking about, they were rivals at school, and if given the chance to get the other expelled, they would never hesitate.Snape spent a lot of time following him and James, and even approached the truth that Remus was a werewolf for a while.Tired of being chased, Sirius impulsively told him where Remus had transformed, and no one knew what would have happened if James hadn't learned about it and pulled Snape out of the Shrieking Shack.

It is possible that Snape successfully escaped with the secret, and then spread the word everywhere to force Remus to drop out of school; it is also possible that Snape was directly torn to pieces by the werewolves who smelled human scent...

Sirius hesitated for a moment, but he looked at Harry, his expression firm.

He had already made a mistake once in the face of Peter Pettigrew, so wrong that he couldn't leave any more hidden dangers.

"Just an Oblivion Charm... Snape, Harry... I can't take any chances," he whispered, his teeth growing wild.

"It's best to wait for Dumbledore to come back before making a decision," Snape tightly clutched the wand in his pocket, "If our headmaster knows that you attacked students..."

"I don't care!" said Sirius frantically, a few fiery sparks spewing from his wand.

Snape immediately drew his wand, and they pointed at each other, just as they had done in the Shrieking Shack more than a year ago.

"But I do, Sirius," said Harry.

Sirius immediately turned his head to look at him, Harry looked at him resolutely, and after a while, Sirius avoided his eyes on his own initiative.

James...

"I won't say it," Draco said suddenly.

Everyone looked at him.

Draco's face became even paler, and a few drops of sweat appeared on the tip of his slender nose.

"You lied!" said Ron. "If you were to leave like that, you'd sue later! He's got a criminal record, remember? Buckbeak—"

Draco gave him a savage look, and he said to Harry, "Potter, I have something important to tell you...Only you know," he added.

Harry looked back at him, and Draco looked terrified and trembling.

"Good," he said.

"Harry?"

"Harry!"

"It's okay, listen to what he said first." Harry said, he took a deep look at Draco: "Malfoy, even if you don't do this, I won't let Sirius forget the curse on you, not because I believe you , I saw what happened that night with my own eyes... I just don't want Sirius to leave school because of you, because... it's not worth it."

A faint blush appeared on Draco's pale face, which almost pointed to his nose and said, I know your dad is a Death Eater, so I don't trust you at all to keep a secret.

"We'll go too," said Ron, "Me and Hermione, and Neville."

Draco turned to stare at him.

"We're standing far away, so we won't eavesdrop." Ron murmured, tilting his head away. "Who knows if you'll take the opportunity to cast a jinx on Harry."

Draco responded with a mocking sneer, "Okay."

They walked down the steps, and Ron, Hermione, and Neville followed them far away. Harry turned his head and could even see Hermione holding his arm, and Ron was talking to Neville, pointing fingers.Farther away, Sirius and Snape stood on the stone steps, neither looking at the other.

They walked a long distance, leaving the greenhouse and Hagrid's hut behind, and they were almost at the main entrance of Hogwarts, and the wild boar's wings on the cast iron gate were looming.Harry finally got impatient, and he felt that it was a mistake for him to be here.

"How long are you going to hesitate?" said Harry.

Draco finally stopped, and he glanced at the three men who stalked them in the distance, making sure they wouldn't hear what he was about to say next.His lips moved slightly, and he said inaudibly, "I support Professor Haipu."

"what?"

"I said, between that person and Professor Haip, I support Professor Haip." Draco tried to keep his tone calm, but when he saw Potter's face that was extremely surprised, it was as if He was talking about the Arabian Nights, and suddenly he was so angry that he wanted to punch him.

But he didn't dare to do that, and there were three followers behind them.

"Don't think I believe everything you say, Malfoy," said Harry.

"Okay, I can tell you a secret. You swear you won't tell anyone." Draco said reluctantly, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Harry blinked. "Okay, I swear."

"Too fast to answer! You have no sincerity at all." Draco said angrily.

"I don't have time to waste." Harry countered, "You can choose to believe it or not, at least my reputation is much better than yours."

Draco's gray eyes were filled with disgust as he weighed Harry, the first time he'd ever seen this happen.He had to force himself to think about a question: Is it worth it to give the secret to Harry Potter?

Draco took a deep breath, "Well, remember what happened in second year, the Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk?"

"Of course I do," said Harry with a strange face. Malfoy wouldn't want to say he knew he and Ron had used Polyjuice Potion to trick him, would he?That did get them into trouble, they broke quite a few school rules, and Hermione even sneaked into Snape's private storeroom and took the bicorn horn and the skin of the African tree snake.

"I used to own that diary."

"What?" Harry froze for a moment, not because of what Draco said - he already knew, Dobby told him.What he wondered was why Draco Malfoy told him this, shouldn't he just keep talking about it?

Draco's expression also became strange.

"I followed you to an abandoned girls' bathroom and was later found... When I returned to investigate, you had disappeared. I only picked up a diary from the ground..."

"And then?" Harry asked, having discussed these things with Ron and Hermione.

"Something happened in the middle..." Draco said vaguely, "I handed him over to Professor Hemp, and Professor Hemp destroyed it."

"You handed it to the professor yourself?"

"Yes, I ask him to keep it secret for me. I can't get involved with this matter."

Harry was stunned. He always thought that the professor had discovered the anomaly and confiscated the diary (Horcrux) from Malfoy. They even laughed at Lucius Malfoy for making himself a cocoon and almost killing his son... But the truth is that Draco Malfoy personally handed over the diary (Horcrux) to Professor Haip, which led to the destruction of the first Horcrux.

This is just ridiculous.

He felt dizzy, the surrounding scene became blurred, and his consciousness kept falling.His scar started to hurt again.
