A friendly day at Hogwarts

Chapter 229 The slug that can’t escape

"Is there another secret?" Qiu glanced at Glenn in confusion and asked.

"That's right," Glenn nodded. "There are too many people here. Let's find a convenient place to talk."

Ever since Glenn shared the secret of the Metamorphmagus with Cho without reservation, she had never doubted anything Glenn said.

The wind at the lakeside was a bit strong, so the two of them turned around on the grass twice, and finally came to a stand with a leeward side on the Quidditch pitch.

Although there was a training session for the Gryffindor House team today, most of the players' friends were standing on the sidelines, and there was no one in the high auditorium.

"What kind of secret is it and why is it so mysterious?"

"How to describe it..." Glenn pondered for a moment and said, "It should be said that it is a huge reversal."

"Reversal?" Qiu repeated blankly, blinking in confusion.

"That's right." Glenn nodded and said, "Eddie's statement is not a secret. Most people who know about it, even Minister Fudge, think so. There is only one exception."

The girl was stunned again: "The exception you mentioned could not be Dumbledore, right?"

Glenn didn't rush to answer her questions, but filled in what Eddie had missed.

"Actually, Eddie missed a few key points." He said, "There is a very complicated spell called the Red Daring Loyalty Curse. Do you know?"

Qiu thought for a while and nodded: "I seem to have seen it in the library. It seems that you can hide secrets in a person's soul. As long as he doesn't reveal it, others will never find out."

"That's right," Glenn said. "The person who knows the secret is the secret keeper."

"So, is Black the secret keeper of Harry's parents?" Qiu thought for a while and asked.

"According to most people's understanding, it is like this." Glenn said with a slight smile.

"Stop showing off!" Qiu pouted and said dissatisfied.

Glenn smiled and said: "While you are still angry, I will not tease you. You guessed it right, the exception is Dumbledore. Although he has no evidence, he has almost confirmed the truth."

He paused briefly and continued.He was already familiar with using Dumbledore as a shield.

"In fact, Peter Pettigrew is probably not dead."

"How is that possible?" Qiu looked at him in disbelief, "Didn't Eddie say that when the people from the Ministry of Magic found them, they only had one finger left?"

Glenn was not surprised at all by Qiu's reaction. Anyone else would have found it difficult to believe that this incident was false, especially when he had just learned the news.

"There is a creature called a gecko, did you know?"

Qiu frowned and said tentatively: "You mean, Pettigrew... pretended to be dead and ran away?"

Glenn smiled and nodded, and continued to ask: "If you were Black, after killing so many people, would you be there stupidly waiting for the strikers and Aurors to catch you?"

"Of course not." Qiu shook her head without hesitation.

"So, this matter is actually very wrong. Of course, this does not rule out that he is a fanatical believer of Voldemort, so he chose to follow his master in this way."

Glenn said dialectically.

"However, after Dumbledore expressed his conjecture, I felt that everything made sense."

"What guess?" Qiu asked subconsciously.

Glenn thought for a moment and told a seemingly insignificant detail.

"Actually, the secret keeper can be modified."

Qiu has always been ice-snowy and smart. Even though it was just a small and inconspicuous detail, her conjectures were completely connected into a logical line without loopholes.

"Could it be..." she speculated in disbelief, "could Harry's parents have temporarily changed the secret keeper?"

Glenn looked at her with satisfaction, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Dumbledore guessed the same."

Qiu suddenly realized and reasoned step by step: "In that case, it was Peter Pettigrew who betrayed Harry's parents, so Sirius Black went after him, but he faked his death and escaped. But why did Sirius Black Why don't you just let yourself be imprisoned in Azkaban without any excuse?"

"Based on Dumbledore's understanding of him, there is a very reasonable explanation." Glenn said, "He believed that he proposed to change the secret keeper originally to protect his friends, but instead harmed them, so he thought that he should accept I have to be punished, so..."

"Ah..." Qiu's expression was a little complicated, "Although it sounds very affectionate, but if you do this, wouldn't it be a bit..."

"It's a bit silly, I think so too." Glenn nodded in agreement and added, "At this time, catching the real culprit and taking care of Harry are obviously more important than punishing yourself."

"That's right!" Qiu Budi nodded, unable to agree anymore.

While the two were talking, the Gryffindor House team's mid-training session was suddenly interrupted.

The Slytherin players wearing green uniforms, led by Flint, broke into the stadium.Even though there was no Nimbus 2001 or a new Seeker, they deliberately chose the same time as Gryffindor to disrupt their training.

Wood dissatisfiedly asked Harry and others to land, and started arguing with Flint.

Hermione and Ron, who had been cheering on the sidelines, also joined in and helped them argue together.

Glenn, who was sitting in the high stands, noticed the conflict below and his eyes fell on the red-haired figure.

He yelled something angrily, pulled the wand barely taped up from his robes, and pointed it at Flint.

Glenn shook his head and covered his eyes.

It's coming, you can't hide it no matter how you do it...

A huge explosion resounded throughout the Quidditch stadium, and a green light that was different from the Killing Curse shot out from the tail of the wand and hit Ron hard in the abdomen.

The power of the spell was so strong that it staggered him, "Teng Teng Teng" took a few steps back and fell on his back on the grass.

"Oh my God!" Qiu also noticed Ron's condition and exclaimed.

Hermione screamed and ran over. Ron sat up and was about to say something, but suddenly he retched and several sticky things came out of his mouth and fell on his lap.

It's you - the inescapable slugs.

Glenn stood up helplessly and walked down the stands with Qiu.

He never expected that even though the main plot had changed beyond recognition, Ron still could not escape the tragedy of spitting out slugs. Even the original target of his curse, Master Malfoy, could not escape the tragedy. Didn't show up.

The plot's binding effect is too unstable, right?
