Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

She lowered her head in thought, she must have seen that person's back somewhere, and she couldn't remember it at the moment.

The light on the stairs was too dim, and the speed of the other party was so fast that Hermione couldn't see clearly.

"Let's go back and talk about it, let's get out of here!" Ivan said quickly, pulling Hermione towards the stairs.

Since Keresis was running away, someone must be chasing him.

If this is the case, Ivan and Hermione who happened to appear in the hall at this time seemed very inappropriate.

"Evan Mason, Hermione Granger, what are you two doing?!" A terrible roar sounded from behind.

Ivan and Hermione just ran a few steps when they saw Snape with a gloomy face running out of the basement.

Wand in hand and wearing a gray nightshirt, he was staring at them both.

"Professor Snape..."

"Professor, we're taking a walk!" Ivan said, holding Hermione's little hand firmly, signaling her not to speak.

"Walking?!" Snape came over and said angrily, "it's a bad habit to stay up late at night and take a walk in the castle. If I were head of your house, I would expel you both, Get you out of Hogwarts forever!"

He looked at Ivan and Hermione in disgust, with a terrifying expression, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Under Snape's glare, Hermione couldn't help but take half a step back, hiding behind Ivan.

"Did you see anyone just now?" He asked suddenly, his cold black eyes fixed on Ivan's eyes like drills.

In an instant, Ivan felt his soul being sucked into it.

Damn it, it's Remembrance, this guy Snape actually used this magic directly.

Aiwen took a step to the right to block Hermione, run Occlumency, and close his brain...

"We didn't see anything, Professor, we were the only ones in the hall," he said slowly.

"Really?!" Snape narrowed his eyes and approached Ivan, "Do you know what happened just now?"

"I don't know!" Evan said.

He tried not to look into Snape's eyes, he could feel his magic increasing.

With such a powerful force, what did Snape want to do to turn himself into an idiot? !

In fact, Snape was surprised at what he hadn't found.

There was nothing inside the boy's head in front of him, a feeling he was all too familiar with.

He looked like this every time he faced Dumbledore and Voldemort, it was Occlumency!

Snape was surprised that Ivan was able to use Occlumency so skillfully.

But it's not enough, Aiwen has only initially mastered this technique, and he can't completely close his brain yet.

Snape could feel the gap in Ivan's brain, and as long as he increased his strength, he could learn the secret he wanted.

"Tonight, someone broke into my office!" Snape said coldly.

"That's really unfortunate!" Ivan replied softly, with increasing pressure.

"Don't play dumb, Mason, you must know something! I don't care how much magical knowledge you have or how many times you appear in the newspaper. In my eyes, you are just an annoying little boy, but you may think You can ignore all the rules and regulations, but you have to pay for it." Snape looked at Ivan and said impatiently, "Just now, someone broke into my office, but you are not in your bed... ..."

"It's just a coincidence!" Ivan said, holding Hermione's little hand tightly, "Have you lost any important items? Then you'd better be careful, the wizarding world has not been peaceful recently, the Quidditch World Cup The attack on the sky, the reappearance of the Dark Mark, and Death Eaters, do you think it's Voldemort..."

"Shut up, Mason!" Snape paled instantly and said disgustedly, "Don't mention that name in front of me."

The magic was lifted, and Snape's right hand subconsciously held his left arm at a position, which was the position of the Dark Mark.

Ai Wen breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that his strategy worked!

"Very good, very good!" Snape said viciously, "You may not know that the potion ingredients in my private storage room are missing. There is no doubt that some students want to make prohibited potions...so I deliberately I left the defensive magic there, it's a very powerful spell, beyond your imagination, that magic has just been triggered, and I'll see you two when I chase it out. Mason, Granger, you know what it means What are you wearing?"

"I don't know!" Ivan continued to shake his head, signaling Hermione not to worry, "We haven't seen anyone here, Professor, you think someone broke into your office and touched your magic, this may be an illusion!"

Having said that, Ivan has been scolding Keresis in his heart.

Potion ingredients, couldn't he let his men find those ingredients? !

It's not that there is no one to help him outside, why must he go to Snape's private storage room to steal it!

Although there are indeed many precious potions that are valuable and make Ivan's heart beat, the risk is too great.

"Don't know again?!" Snape hissed, "I see, maybe you two sneaked into my office."

There was a suppressed silence, and Snape looked at Ivan and Hermione kindly.

Hermione didn't meet his eyes. She didn't know why Aiwen deceived Snape. They just saw a figure.

Going on like this allowed Snape to focus his suspicions on the two of them.

Facing Snape's anger, this was no joke.

Although there are many doubts, what happened tonight is obviously a bit weird.

Hermione sensibly did not express her opinion, and was going to ask Ivan again when she went back.

Ivan saw the light flash in Snape's eyes, and he put a hand into his black robe.

For a moment, Ivan thought that Snape was going to take out his wand and use some kind of spell on himself and Hermione.

If that was the case, he wouldn't mind fighting Snape again, to test his recent progress.

Chapter 652 Powerful Veritaserum

Ivan slid his right hand down, and naturally put it on the wand at his waist.

Then, he saw Snape take out a small crystal bottle, which contained a clear potion.

"Since you don't know anything about what happened tonight, do you know what it is?" said Snape, the malicious gleam in his eyes again.

"Veritaserum!" Ai Wen said in a word.

Of course he knew about this thing, he had seen the formula and finished product of this potion more than once.

"It seems that you are not as ignorant as you imagined. That's right, this is Veritaserum, a potion that teaches you to tell the truth. It is extremely effective. Just three drops can make you reveal the secrets deep in your heart. Let the whole school listen!" Snape said.

"Professor, it is illegal to use this potion!" Hermione couldn't help saying.

She couldn't believe that Snape had gone too far and threatened them with Veritaserum.

"You're right, Granger, the Ministry of Magic has very strict regulations on the use of this potion. But you must be extra careful, otherwise I will miss it." Snape shook the crystal bottle slightly, "Like pumpkin juice for your dinner. Then we'll find out if you've been in my office, or if you know something dark."

Ivan didn't reply, his eyes fell on the small bottle of Veritaserum in Snape's hand.

He had too many secrets, and if Snape did sneak a few drops on him, the consequences...

In fact, hearing Snape's words made Hermione feel bad too.

Everyone has things in their hearts that they don't want others to know, and Veritaserum is a terrible potion.

Unlike Remembrance or Imperius, the effect of Veritaserum is irresistible, and it is colorless and odorless, making it difficult to guard against.

Even a wizard as powerful as Dumbledore would be affected by this potion.

"You can't do this!" Ivan said softly.

"You know you're scared, don't you?!" A sneer appeared on Snape's face, and he said softly, "Let me think about what kind of punishment I should give you two. I lied. One hundred points deducted from Gryffindor, followed by solitary confinement, until the end of term, every week..."

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden bang, bang, and scream from upstairs.

Snape ran up at the fastest speed, and Ivan and Hermione looked at each other and followed.

Then, they saw Filch and his cat, along with the golden egg, on the stairs leading to the third floor.

Almost instantly, Ivan guessed that this was Ron's golden egg, and he and Harry must be nearby.

Although I don't know what they are doing with the golden eggs at night, but only Harry's invisibility cloak can make them invisible.

This is really bad enough, if not done well, there will be two more people in confinement.

"What happened?" Snape asked.

"It's Peeves, Professor!" Filch whispered viciously. "He threw the egg down the stairs."

Snape hurried upstairs and stopped beside Filch.

Harry and Ron looked at him nervously, and then looked at Ivan and Hermione under the stairs.

The clothes of the two were messed up, covered with mud, what did they just do outside the castle...

"Peeves?" said Snape softly, keeping his eyes on the golden egg in Filch's hand. "How interesting!"

"Professor, why are the two of them here!" Filch said, pointing at Ivan and Hermione.

Mrs. Norris ran to Ivan's side and kissed him affectionately.

Speaking of which, this cat is really ugly!

In fact, because of Mrs. Norris, the relationship between Filch and Ivan is pretty good.

Sometimes, when Ivan came out to wander around the castle at midnight, Filch would let him go, but that was all.

It is impossible and useless for him to intercede with Snape for Ivan.

"Someone broke into my office, and I saw them both when I chased them out!" Snape said softly.

"Could it be Peeves?!" said Filch delightedly. "Was this golden egg in your office, Professor?"

"Of course not!" Snape snapped. "I heard a bang, bang, and screams..."

"It was Peeves who stole the golden egg and threw him over the top of the stairs," said Filch, rubbing his hands together. "If the golden egg is in your office, he ..."

"I said it wasn't him, Filch!" Snape's voice became harsh again. "I have sealed my office with a spell, and only wizards can break in, and there is a strong defensive magic there. That person must have been hurt!"

Snape raised his head and glanced at Ivan and Hermione, then looked up the stairs.

He looked straight across Harry and Ron, then down the hallway below.

"It wasn't the two of them who broke into my office, and it wasn't Peeves!" said Snape, "he can't get far, and I want you to come and help me search for the intruder, Filch. "

"What, Professor?!" Filch said in surprise.

He stared eagerly at the top of the stairs, his gaze directly penetrating Harry and Ron under the Invisibility Cloak.

Harry could see that he was reluctant to pass up this good opportunity to intercept Peeves.

"Close the gates and search the entire castle!" Snape said coldly.

Under the stairs, Ivan was speechless for a while. Snape knew that he and Hermione didn't do it.

But he still took the opportunity to use Desperation on himself, and even threatened him with Veritaserum, what a dangerous guy.

"That's right, Professor!" Filch said dejectedly. "I think we still have something to do. I'm afraid the headmaster will listen to me this time. Peeves stole something from a student. I may have something to do this time." chance to drive him out of the castle forever..."

"Filch, I don't care about that nasty mischievous ghost, it's my office that was..."

Kick, kick, kick! ! !

Snape stopped talking abruptly, and everyone looked down at the stairs.

Through the gap between their heads, Alvin saw Keresis limping out, reverting to Moody's image again.

He wore his old traveling cloak over his nightshirt and used his cane as usual.

What happened tonight was all caused by this guy, and he only made his debut at this time.

If he didn't die because he passed into Snape's office and stupidly touched some defensive magic, Ivan and Hermione would have gone back to their respective bedrooms to sleep, instead of standing here waiting for Snape to announce the closed punishment .

If possible, Aiwen really wanted to beat Keressis hard in the past.

Chapter 653 Moody's Performance

Harry and Ron watched Moody nervously, afraid he'd run into them both when he came down.

But that didn't happen, and his magical eye rolled quickly in its socket, brushing past Ron.

Harry had a feeling that Moody's eyes could see through the Invisibility Cloak.

His normal blue eyes passed through the crowd, and finally fell on Aiwen at the bottom of the stairs, and looked at Aiwen.

"Pajama party, huh?!" Keresis grumbled, pure Moody.

"Professor Snape and I heard some voices, Professor!" said Filch immediately, taking a step forward. "It was Peeves who was a prankster, throwing things around as usual, and then Professor Snape found someone broke into his office..."

"Shut up!" Snape said in a low voice to Filch.
