It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 37 Halloween Isn't Happy

"Ja, Justin!"

Ron looked at the boy's face and exclaimed.

Hermione hurriedly ran to Jasyan who was lying on the ground, stretched out her trembling fingers, and probed the tip of his nose.

"He! He! He's dead!"

Hermione uttered these words with difficulty, and then fell weakly to the floor.

With the help of the light from the torch, Harry looked at the terrified face that was finally fixed on Justin's face, and subconsciously swallowed, feeling cold all over his body.

The boy lying on the ground was Justin Fenletary, a second-year student like Harry and the others, except that he belonged to Hufflepuff House.

They don't know why Justin showed up at this place during the Halloween dinner and was killed by someone.

But at this time Ron already felt uneasy.

"Let's get out of here quickly."

"Shouldn't we try to save—" Harry said sloppily.

"Listen," said Ron, "we don't want to be found out here!"

However it was too late.

There was a bustling sound of people coming from the stairs on the third floor, and soon some students walked up to the third floor and found Harry and the others.

The students who were still laughing and laughing all fell silent when they saw the scene in front of them.

Everyone watched this terrible scene. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood in full view of the crowd, and Justin's "corpse" lay beside him, who looked like he was dying.

"Those who make enemies of the heir, be vigilant! The next one is you, Mudblood!"

It was Malfoy, with a cold grin on his face, he read out the message on the wall aloud, and privately added an unforgivable sentence to the back, but no one was in the mood to pay attention at this moment.

No, to be precise, there is still one person paying attention.

"Twenty points deducted from Slytherin, Mr. Malfoy. It seems that your punishment last time was not enough, so let's extend the time to clean the toilet until January [-] next year."

An indifferent voice sounded from behind the students.

Malfoy's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he gave Sherlock angrily a sullen look.

But Sherlock ignored him, because at this time, the students had already made way for him and let him go in to check the situation.

The three of Harry also discovered Sherlock's arrival, and they explained to him as if they had seen a savior.

"Professor, we saw Justin lying on the ground as soon as we came here!"

"We didn't do it! We just discovered him the first time!"

"Is he still alive, Professor."

Sherlock stretched out his hand, beckoning them to be quiet first, then drew out his wand and squatted in front of Justin.

All the students around held their breath and watched as Sherlock tapped Justin's stiff body twice with his wand.

Although Sherlock's magic level has not been raised to the level of the original owner, it is not half as good as it was two months ago.

After passing a simple test and checking Justin's physical condition, he spoke softly and came to a conclusion.

"He's not dead."

The three of Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and the other students who watched gradually relieved their tension.

"But he's not doing well either."

An old voice sounded, and at some point, Dumbledore brought other professors here.

"Take Justin to your office, Sherlock, I think it's on the third floor. Harry, the three of you will follow."

Professor McGonagall dispersed the students, told them to go back to sleep quickly, and ordered Filch to clean up the messy writing on the wall overnight.

Sherlock used the Levitating Charm on the sculpture-like Justin, causing his body to float in mid-air, and then led him, bringing Dumbledore, the professors, and Harry to his office.

His office is very simple, except for simple and necessary furniture, there are only bookshelves full of books.

Dumbledore directed Sherlock to put Justin on the sofa, and then checked his condition himself.

Harry and the others were tense again, as Snape began to testify against them, wondering why they hadn't attended the Halloween dinner.

They anxiously explained that they had attended Nick's death anniversary dinner, so they were absent from the activities in the auditorium.

And Dumbledore, who confirmed Justin's situation more specifically, also shook his head to remove Harry's suspicion.

"It was an extremely powerful black magic that petrified Justin, it couldn't be a second-year student."

But Snape was still aggressive, asking Harry why they didn't go back to the Great Hall after leaving the Deathday Dinner.

The three of Harry didn't say that they went to the third floor because they heard that strange voice.

They feel that this reason is not tenable, and it is not a good thing to spread it.

Sherlock, who was looking at Justin's stiff body, was in a daze, not focusing on Snape's interrogation of the three of Harry.

The petrified Justin brought back part of his memory.

The basilisk released from the secret room should have the ability to petrify.

But why did he get the impression that the first victim was a cat?

Why did he become the boy in front of him now?

At this time, Professor McGonagall had already called the little Hufflepuff wizard who had dinner with Justin at the Halloween dinner, and asked them why Justin left early.

The two friends of Justin said that Justin has been feeling unwell since this morning, and when he went to the infirmary in the morning, Madam Pomfrey diagnosed him as having a cold, and then made him drink medicine. .

As a result, in the afternoon, he seemed to have eaten something unclean and started to have diarrhea again.

It didn't take long for today's dinner to start, so I left early and prepared to go back to the dormitory to rest.

The attack was finally encountered in the hallway on the third floor.

Dumbledore and the others didn't find any clues from it, and Sherlock was still thinking about when the plot changed.

Ever since he found out that he came to the world of Harry Potter, especially after knowing that he was going to Hogwarts to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts by accident, Sherlock never thought that the plot could still develop according to the original track.

After all, every professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is an important role in each part, and this year, a new person is directly changed, and the future development will naturally not be the same as before.

But now even the first species to be attacked has changed, so when did everything change from the original?
Just when he couldn't think of any clues, Dumbledore's investigation of tonight's incident was also over.

He asked Justin to be sent to Madam Pomfrey, and claimed that Professor Sprout was recently cultivating a batch of Mandrakes, and when the herbs matured, they would be made into potions that would cure him. Wait for Jas When Ting wakes up, they will know the real murderer.

Tonight's attack is temporarily over.
