Study Days at Hogwarts

"Sir, do you know about Katie?"

After Dumbledore finally gave him a private lesson, Harry couldn't help but mention what happened not long ago. The opal necklace caused serious damage to Katie and she is still being treated at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Magical Injuries.

"Professor McGonagall has told me that Miss Bell is very lucky. She only slightly touched the opal necklace due to the hole in her glove, and the curse did not spread quickly and take her life." Dumbledore Looking at Harry, he said calmly, "The therapists at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries have been reporting to me. I believe Miss Bell will make a full recovery soon."

"That's great. By the way, Ms. Rosmerta was probably under the Imperius Curse. It was she who gave the necklace to Katie. As for the person who put the Imperius Curse on her, it was probably a Death Eater. Apprentice." Harry looked directly into Dumbledore's eyes and briefly stated his analysis of the whole matter, "I suspect that this matter is related to Malfoy. Among all the Death Eaters and purebloods, only Malfoy is The Fujia family needs to do something stupid like this to prove something.”

"This is just your suspicion Harry. We can't convict someone just because we suspect him. I will conduct an in-depth and detailed investigation on anyone who is suspected in Miss Bell's accident." Dumbledore's The reaction was calm from beginning to end, giving Harry the illusion that the other person was actually perfunctory.

"Evidence is not always needed. Sometimes just suspicion is enough. Although I admit that I am a little biased towards the Malfoy family, my own judgment is more realistic." Harry did not pay attention to Dumbledore's actions and continued Finish what you want to say: "After Lucius did stupid things, including trapping a bunch of colleagues to death, and causing Voldemort's Horcruxes to be destroyed by me, it feels incredible to me that he was not directly executed by Voldemort."

"The Malfoy family must be in urgent need of doing something to save their lives. There is no doubt that nothing would satisfy Voldemort more than your life." Harry glanced at Dumbledore's injured palm and continued, "According to Abel Te's prediction is obviously not satisfactory in the next few years, and the entire magical world will enter a turbulent era. "

"I'm very pleased Harry, your analysis is wonderful, but we can't do anything too extreme just because of suspicion." Dumbledore said gently.

"Perhaps, we can use Veritaserum and let Mr. Malfoy prove that he is completely harmless." Harry laughed at himself: "Umbridge used Veritaserum and the Cruciatus Curse a lot last year, and Minister Scrimgeour now also We also promote Veritaserum on a large scale and use it to quickly screen people.”

"As for Ms. Rosmerta, I will go there personally to confirm whether she has been struck by the Imperius Curse." Dumbledore raised his hand to interrupt Harry, "Right now I am more concerned about our classes."

"If you can contact Albert, I believe he will be able to directly divine the culprit." Harry suddenly said: "That way there will be no need to worry about using vomitants on students."

"Divination is not omnipotent, Harry." Dumbledore reminded with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, but that guy is so incredible. His predictions have basically come true. It's at least worth trying. There has been such an attack, and there will definitely be another one. No one can guarantee that the next unlucky guy will be Katie. Such luck." Harry curled his lips, knowing that Dumbledore didn't want to continue talking about Draco Malfoy, so he didn't say anything more. …

Harry knew very well why Dumbledore was still so calm. It was entirely because Katie was not dead and could recover. If Katie had died, I believe Dumbledore would never be what he is now.

To be honest, Harry was actually a little annoyed. He didn't believe that Dumbledore didn't suspect Malfoy and Snape. He didn't believe that Albert didn't give him a warning.

Even if Snape is indeed a double agent, it's really hard to say which side he is leaning towards.

"Don't worry Harry, we will catch the culprit. Now let us enter my memory!" Dumbledore used the wand to pull out his memory from his temple and put it into the pensieve. "This is the memory between me and Voldemort." First meeting."

In his memory, Dumbledore used a confusion spell to easily deceive the director of the orphanage and meet the young Tom Riddle, who was only eleven years old.

"What did you see Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

"Voldemort was very handsome when he was young. I really don't know why he made himself look like this." Harry couldn't help complaining. In Voldemort's eyes, is he more handsome without a nose? "

"Voldemort doesn't like his father, and he doesn't actually care about his face." Dumbledore motioned for Harry to continue.

"His magical power is very strong. He can master this power before going to school. He can use some magic to bully those children without the need for wands and spells." Harry recalled the scene he just saw, He said softly, "Under normal circumstances, only wizards whose magic power is out of control can achieve this level, but he can control it. I doubt that in the entire magic world, only you and Albert can achieve that level at what age."

"It is indeed incredible that for such a young wizard, Voldemort's abilities are indeed astonishingly complete and mature, and that he has discovered that he can control these abilities to a certain extent and has begun to use them consciously."

"Of course, I couldn't do that at that age, and Mr. Anderson wouldn't actually do that. He knows how to hide himself, especially in the Muggle world, where aliens are easily rejected, and Mr. Anderson is smart. People." Dumbledore looked at Harry gently, as if he wanted to get more from Harry. He needed Harry to have strong analytical skills.

"He grabbed some things from those children," Harry seemed to think of something when he talked about it, and suddenly said, "He was collecting trophies, or he had the habit of collecting trophies, and he was also a Snake accent."

"I'm glad you noticed this Harry. You also saw the box of stolen goods in the room." Dumbledore seemed very satisfied with Harry realizing this: "From the children who were bullied by him The souvenirs we brought from there..."

"Professor, do you think Horcruxes are similar souvenirs or valuable things?" Harry suddenly asked, "In addition to the diary, I think Professor you must have other clues!"

"Yes, but it's too late now. I will tell you what I know slowly in the future." Dumbledore said to Harry: "Now you need to wait patiently. Sometimes enough patience is also important."

"Okay, good night, Professor." Harry greeted Dumbledore and left.
