The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave
Chapter 328: Aconitum, Unicorn, and Centaur
"It's Aconitum wolfsbane." Cedric closed the herbal illustration in his hand and confirmed, "All parts of it are highly poisonous. They can be used to make wolfsbane potion and sobering potion."
"Let's stay away from it." Sun Zhu used his magic wand to push the half-stemmed Aconitum farther away. "Now we can be sure that there can't be such dangerous plants in the greenhouse."
"That's right. Professor Sprout didn't plant any poisonous weeds. The more dangerous Devil's Snare and Mandrake are not in the First Greenhouse. The man that Mr. Longbottom saw... is really dangerous."
"I suspect that person is Qi Luo." Sun Zhu rested his chin on his hand and thought, "He might have deliberately thrown the poisonous grass near the greenhouse."
"Does he intend to use it to harm unsuspecting students passing by?"
"He should be trying to attract other people's attention." Sun Zhu thought of her conversation with Hermione not long ago. "His behavior is cautious and careless, flamboyant and timid, which is really contradictory. Maybe he really wants to use this method to send a distress signal to certain people - such as Headmaster Dumbledore - hoping that he can help him get rid of the control of the mysterious man."
Is Quirrell a loyal lackey of the mysterious man, or is he just a poor guy who was temporarily bewitched by him and later couldn't escape?
If he really wanted to change, Dumbledore would definitely be willing to give him another chance, given his usual attitude. But it was really hard to save him - Quirrell's situation was even more difficult than Harry's. Voldemort's remaining soul had already parasitized on him, and it must have been absorbing Quirrell's vitality.
"We can't solve this problem. Let's leave it to the professors." Sun Zhu shook his head. "I remember that there are places selling wolfsbane and aconite in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade. Although it is expensive, it is not very rare. It may not be easy to find the source."
"But if it's not Professor Quirrell, but someone else with ulterior motives, things would be even more dangerous." Cedric said worriedly, "We need to let the principal and the deans know immediately. Otherwise, if other similar poisons appear in other parts of the campus and students or animals are infected, it would be terrible."
Sun Zhu immediately stood up and walked out. Cedric put the herbal encyclopedia in his hand back on the bookshelf, nodded slightly to Madam Pince who was looking at them frequently, and chased after him.
"Host, don't panic. This kind of poison can be easily cured by the detoxification pills that cost 20 experience points each in the store."
"If I remember correctly, the aconite poison takes effect very quickly. I'm afraid it will be too late to save him before I can do anything." Sun Zhu sighed, "No matter if that person is Qi Luo or not, and no matter if it was intentional or unintentional, we have to let the professors know as soon as possible."
"Zhu, don't worry. Professor Sprout should be in her office grading papers right now." Cedric pulled her arm, took the bag from her hand, and hid it in his sleeve. "Keep calm, just pretend we're just asking the professor a normal question."
Sun Zhu nodded, and seeing that there was a slight dark spot under his eyes, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you not sleep well these days?"
"It seems a little bit." He did not deny it. "But it's not a big problem. I just have a little insomnia."
"Does this have anything to do with Sun Yuanbao who is relying on you?"
"Well...it's okay. She's always been very quiet."
"That's great. I'll ask Newt if I can leave Yuanbao at his place." Sun Zhu said, "She flutters around when she has nothing to do. It's ok if she disturbs you, but it's not good if she disturbs your other roommates, right?"
Sun Yuanbao was becoming more and more lawless. Sun Zhu brought her back many times, but she always slipped back to Seth's dormitory and squatted at the door when she had nothing to do. Every time she could successfully trick the soft-hearted James or the stupid Duke into opening the door for her, and Seth had no reason to send her back.
This happened more than three times within a month. After Sun Zhu communicated with her several times without success, he realized that Yuanbao had reached her tsundere stage and could only let her be a cat that never came home.
"Remember to tell her when you get back not to eat anything of unknown origin, otherwise my dad will be sad."
Cedric touched his nose. "She is very picky about food, and Kneazle has her own judgment of danger."
"Hey, I have endless worries every day." She reached out to knock on Professor Sprout's door, but the door suddenly opened.
"Zhu, Cedric, why are you here?" Sprout had a worried look on his face, but when he saw them, he changed his expression to concern, "Do you have any questions?"
"I have something to report to you." Sun Zhu pointed at the bag in Cedric's hand. "Look, Neville saw someone acting sneakily near the greenhouse and left this thing behind..."
Sprout only took a glance, rubbed his brow with a headache, and then said: "Come with me to check the situation."
Unexpectedly, Professor Sprout took them directly to the open space in front of Hagrid's hut. From a distance, there were already Madam Pomfrey and Professor Snape, and Newt was half-kneeling on the ground, looking at a cloth-covered thing on the ground. There was even an animal with a human body and a horse body next to him, looking down at him.
It's a horse person.
Sun Zhu and Cedric looked at each other and followed Professor Sprout.
Snape looked indifferent and didn't give them any look. Madam Pomfrey shook her head at Sprout and said, "He died after eating berries soaked in poison and being cursed. Then his blood was sucked out..."
"I think it should be this poison." Sprout held the wolfsbane in front of her. "My student found it near the greenhouse yesterday afternoon. Judging from the time, it coincides with the time of the unicorn's death."
"Unicorn?" Sun Zhu exclaimed, "It wasn't before..."
"Blame me, blame me..." Hagrid held his head and said, "Recently, I..."
"Too fast, this is not right." Sun Zhu murmured in a low voice: "It's only the beginning of November, and the school has only been open for two months."
"What's wrong?" Cedric looked at her, "What are you worried about?"
"The other party has accelerated the process, which means he is a little desperate." Sun Zhu looked at the unicorn corpse covered with a cloth with some sadness. A little silver-blue blood seeped out, which was frightening. Cedric was a little absent-minded. He noticed that the centaur with long platinum hair and a silver-maned horse body was looking at Sun Zhu frequently.
"We see the trajectory of the stars," he said suddenly. "Some unpredictable changes gradually become clear. They point to collapse and reorganization, and are hints of succession and rebirth."
Sun Zhu looked at the unusually beautiful centaur, and he walked towards her and whispered, "Is it the direction of the stars, or the source of the star tracks? I seem to have seen it very clearly, but I don't quite understand it. However, this starry sky, with so many stars gathered, has more possibilities."
"I don't really understand either." Sun Zhu said honestly: "Although you speak human language, it is more difficult for me to understand than animal language."
"My name is Firenze," he continued, "so that such tragedies will not happen again in the future, I am willing to follow the guidance of the stars and stand on the side of humanity."
