"What happened?"

The shrill screams startled the customers in the bar.

The Hogwarts students who were drinking butter beer and chatting with their friends, all stood up from their chairs and rushed to the door of the bar. They saw a group of people surrounded by a street not far away. Sky.

A man was floating in the sky, screaming terribly.

More people moved closer to it, but they were just watching from the side, and no one went up to help.

In fact, I can't blame them. Many people panicked and didn't know what to do.

Even the residents of Hogsmeade were helpless about this. In the end, several Aurors who were in charge of the Hogsmeade patrol mission rushed over after sensing the movement here, trying to rescue the poor girl floating in the air.

"what happened?"

Harry asks Fred, George and Lee Jordan who are helping to maintain order.

"I don't know, but I hope she's okay."

George frowned and looked at the Auror who was trying to release the curse. He felt that these guys were unreliable, so he reminded aloud, "It's best to find a way to put people down first, and then send them to Hogwarts, which is far from here. Lately, maybe Dumbledore can lift the spell on her."

It seemed to him that the Aurors probably couldn't lift the spell on Katie.

The Aurors suddenly realized that they were about to pick up the **** the ground. George had taken out a bottle of potion from his pocket and poured it on Katie's face, so that her pain and screams were relieved to a certain extent.

"you"

"Do you still have the antidote?" George asked back.

"I have a bottle here."

Fred reached out and took a bottle of potion out of his pocket and threw it to George, then said to the two dazed Aurors, "It's better to ride a broom, it'll be faster. Mrs. Rosemerta, you don't mind borrowing it. Check out the broomstick in the store.

"Oh, no problem, I'll go get it now."

"No, I'll come!"

Fred used the Flying Charm to easily summon the broomsticks in the Three Broomsticks bar, and by the way, summoned a stretcher out of thin air and transferred Katie up.

"What kind of potion is that?" an Auror couldn't help asking, and he found that the curse on the student had been relieved to a certain extent.

"The anti-curse agent can wash away most of the spells, but the effect is only average."

The two Aurors looked at each other, wondering who was the real Auror-trained professional. After they secured the person, they flew to Hogwarts with a stretcher.

Looking at the backs of the Aurors leaving, the Weasley twins couldn't help shaking their heads. He found that these Aurors were more unreliable than expected.

"Does anyone know what happened?"

"You are Katie's friend."

Lee Jordan was one of the first to arrive here, and had already locked in on the girl present who was most likely to know the truth.

"Can you tell us what exactly happened here, and who cast a spell on Katie?"

Everyone turned their attention to the girl who was frightened and cried, hoping to get some useful news from her.

Hermione couldn't stand it anymore, she hurried to the girl, put her arms around her, and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Katie will be fine."

"You are Lini, what happened just now, who cast a spell on Katie."

"What...no, there is a package...it happened when it was torn open." Lini said with a choked voice.

"What package?"

"I do not know"

"Don't touch that thing." Harry's cry startled the whispering students.

"what?"

The boy who was yelled at by Harry was stunned in place and stopped picking up the package, apparently not understanding what Harry meant.

"Don't touch the package on the ground, that thing is cursed."

Harry had seen what came out of the package, an opal necklace, he couldn't be sure if it was the one from Borgin Burke's, but it must have been dangerous.

Fred played tricks, took a spying device from his pocket and poked the package, quickly confirming that Harry was right that the opal necklace in the package was indeed a dark magic item.

"It has to be sent to Hogwarts, maybe Dumbledore needs to figure out what the Dark Spell is on that thing."

George waved his wand and wrapped the package again. For safety reasons, he put a layer of casing on it to ensure safety, and then looked around and asked, "Who is willing to do it for you, by the way, send Lini back to Hogwarts. Is it?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one offered to help.

Just as Harry was about to stand up, he heard George say.

"Forget it, I'll go by myself, let's go." George stretched out his hand to help the girl named Lini, and he Apparated and left.

"I might have seen it at Borgin Burke's, that opal necklace."

In the Three Broomsticks bar, Harry lowered his voice and said to a few people around, "It seems that someone bought that necklace and wanted to pass Katie and bring it into Hogwarts and use it to kill someone."

"I don't think it's very likely Harry." Hermione shook her head and directly denied Harry's opinion.

When she noticed that everyone was looking at her, Hermione felt a little nervous, took a deep breath, and explained uneasily, "This year Hogwarts has strengthened security measures, I don't believe that necklace will be unknowingly. to enter Hogwarts."

"Maybe someone was trying to kill Filch with that necklace," Ron spat.

"It's impossible Ron. I think Filch will probably use a spy device to determine if it's a black magic item after seeing the package."

"Are you trying to say that the guy who tried to murder someone with a necklace is an idiot?" Fred took a bottle from his pocket, took a sip, and joked with a smile.

"When did you learn to carry a wine bottle from Mad-Eye?" Ron looked suspiciously at Fred's silver wine bottle.

"We don't dare to eat outside now. God knows if someone will add some special seasoning to the food." Lee Jordan also has the same bottle.

"You should pay attention to Cedric, if I definitely add some ingredients to your drink and put you straight down, then you will be finished." Fred took another sip and handed the bottle to the bottle that has been very Interested Harry asked, "Want some?"

"What's in it?" Harry asked, sniffing it.

"Warm wine, warm to drink," Fred said with a smile. "Dobby helped prepare it. It really helped us a lot."

"Dobby?" Qiu Zhang asked in confusion.

"The house elf hired by Albert." Cedric said with emotion, "He is currently responsible for helping to take care of our lives."

"Look, even you are not against hiring house-elves," said Hermione excitedly.

However, no one took her word.

"It always feels like you guys are more and more like Aurors." Ron couldn't help but complain.

"If you're being targeted and you don't want to be unlucky because of it, you have to learn to be careful." Fred shook the bottle with a smile, and continued the topic just now, "I dare say that Katie must be caught. Imperius, and the guy who put it on her is a fool."

"If you ask Albert for divination, you should be able to find the culprit?" Harry asked suddenly.

"Should be, but I don't think he should waste time on a fool."

George walked over to Harry, pulled a chair and sat beside him with a smile, under the gaze of everyone, he lowered his voice and said, "The murderer should be hiding in the Three Broomsticks bar, Lini said Katie went to Three Broomsticks. After returning from the toilet of the Broom Bar, it became a little strange, holding the unmarked package in her hand. She thought that Katie should not agree to hand over the suspicious item. When the two sides **** the package, she accidentally When the package was torn open, the opal necklace inside fell out, and Katie apparently touched the necklace before she was seriously injured."

"It's impossible..." Hermione said suddenly.

"what?"

Everyone looked at Hermione in confusion.

"If there are Death Eaters or Dark Wizards approaching the three bars, the detection pocket watch will definitely respond." Hermione took out the detection pocket watch from Albert from her pocket.

"If the person who cast the Imperius Curse on Katie is also imperiled by someone else, the pocket watch cannot be detected," Fred reminded kindly. He knew very well where the flaws in detecting pocket watches were.

"Is Katie all right!" Harry asked.

"When I left, Snape seemed to be helping her with..."

"Wait, you mean Snape is treating Katie?"

"Yes, Dumbledore is not at school. Professor McGonagall asked Snape to help check Katie's injury and help her with emergency treatment. I heard that they are going to send Katie to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. regular treatment."

"Who do you think Katie wants to give that necklace to?" Cedric asked suddenly.

"Me or Dumbledore," Harry said without hesitation, "but I can be ruled out. After all, here I am, and Katie can bring it to me directly. If you open that package directly, you will definitely hit the necklace. , no matter who that person is, it will be bad luck."

Harry felt that he was lucky, and if it was him, he might have been demolished on the spot. At least, he never had the habit of carrying a secret explorer at all times.

"I don't think Dumbledore will get caught." Fred shook his head.

"A package without any markings looks suspicious no matter how you look at it," George explained. "In the past, when we helped Albert open this kind of package, we would be very careful to prevent any spells or anything in the package. Black magic item."

All three are experienced in this area.

In their opinion, even Albert was on guard, not to mention Dumbledore, and seeing such an unmarked package would definitely be suspicious.

"We've been discussing for so long, and we've confirmed one thing, and that is that the guy who delivered the package turned out to be a total idiot." Harry felt absurd.

"It's really an idiot. Even if Katie has no accident, the package will be stopped by Filch, and he won't be able to enter Hogwarts at all." Ron shrugged.

"Harry, who are you suspecting?"

"nothing?"

"Let's talk, it's better than keeping it in my heart, maybe I can help you refer to it." George suggested.

"Well, I suspect that this has something to do with Draco Malfoy, and although there is no evidence, I always feel that it is likely that he did it."

After Harry noticed the expressions on other people's faces, he shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed and said, "Of course, this is just a suspicion, so I think I should let Albert help for a divination, and I can definitely know who did it. ."

"I don't know if Draco Malfoy did it, but according to Lini..." George peeked at Mrs. Rosemerta at the bar counter.

"You think Mrs. Rosemerta is under the Imperius Curse?" Cedric knew immediately what George meant.

Several people turned their heads to look at Mrs. Rosemerta, but they couldn't see anything wrong.

"That necklace was stuffed to Katie, it should be just an accident, maybe Mrs. Rosemerta will stuff it to any Hogwarts student who goes to the toilet alone?" George briefly explained his guess.

"But, how can no one see that something is wrong with Mrs. Rosemerta?" Ron felt incredible.

"Mrs. Rosemerta is not a strong-willed person, and it is not difficult to control her with the Imperius Curse." Fred looked at Cedric and asked, "You didn't see that your friend was under the Imperius Curse. Take control!"

"I can't see it at all." Cedric shook his head.

"What should we do, expose Mrs. Rosemerta to the Ministry of Magic?" Qiu Zhang looked anxiously at his boyfriend, who had just had a glass of butterbeer here.

"No, keep this matter a secret first, then tell Dumbledore and let Dumbledore handle it." George turned his head to Harry and said, "I think this should be the safest way, and Harry , If you are all right, go back to school as soon as possible, even if there are Aurors patrolling here, it is not safe, and we will leave here as soon as possible."

"Wait, don't forget about the Defense Association." Cedric reminded quickly

"Oh, this matter, next time I teach something simpler, and then you can discuss it later." Fred said without hesitation.

"We originally planned to teach how to build a temporary camp to protect ourselves." Hermione said what she was going to say at the party.

"It's a good idea. Let's teach it when the time comes. It's a very practical thing." George made a decision, and he didn't forget to remind the three that they should leave.

"I hope to find Albert for a divination."

"Don't waste your money Harry, I guess Dumbledore can guess who did it." Fred reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder, followed the others out, and then used Apparition to leave.

"Harry, are you still suspicious of Malfoy?" Hermione asked on the way back to school.

"Yes, I have an intuition that this matter has something to do with Malfoy." Harry said about the reason why he would guess like that, "Lucius Malfoy tried to assassinate Ai at the wedding last time. Burt, instead, was ambushed by the Ministry of Magic, killed many Death Eaters, and is still locked in Azkaban. The Malfoy family is basically finished. If the Malfoy family wants to regain Voldemort's trust, kill Deng Bridor was the best choice. You know that, Voldemort would have liked Dumbledore to die."

"But Malfoy is underage," Hermione reminded.

"You shouldn't be judging by age, that's pretty ridiculous."

"After all, I'm not an adult!" Harry showed a rather odd expression, "But I don't have to face all that yet, I don't have a choice."

"Maybe the whole thing is still an order given by You-Know-Who to Draco Malfoy."

"Why did the You-Know-Who do that?" Ron asked, puzzled.

"Revenge, for Lucius Malfoy's incompetence, for his failure to keep his diary and the destruction of the Horcrux by me," Harry said softly. "Voldemort was never a big-hearted person."
