"Bad luck alone won't poison them. Elwyn, if you ask me, could it be that someone is against Gryffindor's Quidditch team?" Hagrid said worriedly. "First it was Katie, and now it's Ron …"
Elwyn glared at Hagrid. This speculation was even more ridiculous. There were all kinds of possibilities.
Based on this logic, the next person to be attacked might be Elaine. Ever since they won the last match, she was now Gryffindor's most popular batter. But unless it was a direct attack, Elwyn really could not think of a way to hurt her.
First of all, when it came to food, Elaine would only drink dragon's blood and Elwyn's blood. Hmm, and the odd-tasting bloody lollipops in her mouth. These things were all with Elwyn, so it was basically impossible to poison the food. Secondly, when it came to all kinds of black magic items, Elaine was very vigilant and would not touch anything suspicious.
As for attacking Elaine directly, Elwyn felt that no student could easily defeat her.
Although she looked thin and weak, she was a real vampire with strong magical abilities and violent tendencies.
It was already good enough that she did not attack others. Elwyn was often attacked by her at night …
Thinking of this, he said, "Hagrid, no one would want to destroy a Quidditch team. It's meaningless."
"Not necessarily. There will still be people who will do it," George said.
"That's right. If there was no punishment, Wood might do it to Slytherin," Fred said in a fair manner.
"But he won't poison them. Instead, he will rush over and …"
"Alright, you guys. This has nothing to do with Quidditch. Let's continue with my analysis." Hermione said softly, "I said before, this is like the incident with Katie. It's a lame murder. I think there's a connection between the two incidents."
"What's the reason?" Everyone looked at Hermione, waiting for her analysis.
"First, both of them should have been fatal, but they didn't, even though it was pure luck. Second, the poison and the necklace did not harm the person they intended to kill. Of course … "She muttered," It seems that the person behind this is even more sinister. They don't care how many people they kill to attack the real target. Third, regarding the incident with Katie, Elwyn and I actually … "
Just like when Hagrid came in, her analysis was interrupted again.
The door of the ward opened, and Weasley and his wife hurried to the bed. They had been invited to Dumbledore's office during their last visit to make sure that Ron was fully recovered, and now Mrs. Weasley came to grab Harry and hug him tightly.
"Harry, Dumbledore told us you saved him with the bezoar," she sobbed. "Oh, Harry, what shall we say? You've saved Ron so many times. I'm just … "
Lady Weasley was so emotional that she told him about how Harry had saved Ron.
"I thank you on behalf of Ron, Harry," Mr. Weasley said, wiping the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand. "I can only say that Ron decided to sit in your carriage on the Hogwarts Express. That was really a lucky day."
Harry did not know how to answer. Fortunately, Madam Pomfrey came out to remind him that there were too many visitors, which covered up his embarrassment.
Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione got up and left. Hagrid decided to go with them and let Ron stay with his family.
"That's scary!" Hagrid said, his beard trembling. The four of them walked along the corridor to the marble steps. "With so many new security measures, children continue to get hurt. Dumbledore is worried sick. He doesn't say it, but I can see …"
"Well, doesn't he have any ideas?"
"I think he has hundreds of ideas. He has a brain like that," Hagrid said loyally. "But he doesn't know who gave the necklace and who poisoned the wine. Otherwise, he would have caught them long ago, wouldn't he?"
Of course, Dumbledore knew, but he could not simply expose Malfoy.
It was easy to do so, but for Draco Malfoy, it meant that he had failed his mission. If that happened, his fate would be miserable. The best outcome would be to spend the rest of his life in Azkaban, the wizard prison. Once he returned to Lord Voldemort …
Lord Voldemort would kill him cruelly, which would be a good reason to punish the Malfoy family.
If he knew that his diary had been destroyed, he would definitely do that.
Of course, he could not let Malfoy succeed. Dumbledore probably did not want to die, and he did not want Malfoy to fall.
Thinking along this line of thought, Elwyn felt that Lord Voldemort had sent Malfoy to carry out this impossible mission not only to punish Lucius Malfoy for failing his mission repeatedly, but also to understand Dumbledore's character. He was really despicable.
It seemed to be a test for Malfoy, but it was the same for Dumbledore.
It was a difficult choice. Whether it was simply stopping Malfoy or leaving him be, neither was a good result …
Hagrid sighed for a while, then looked back to make sure that no one was eavesdropping on their conversation. He lowered his voice and said, "Alas, what I'm worried about now is how long the Hogwarts will last with so many children getting into trouble. Do you remember? Isn't this like the secret room incident again? It will cause panic. Parents will take their children out of school, and then the board … "
The ghost of a long-haired lady floated by quietly. Hagrid stopped and said in a low, hoarse voice, "The board will discuss closing us down."
"Really?" Hermione asked worriedly.
"Believe me, they are eager to do so. You have to look at it from their point of view. " Hagrid said in a heavy tone, "Sending children to the Hogwarts will always have some risks, right? When hundreds of underage wizards are locked together, accidents are bound to happen, aren't they? But the nature of the murder case is different. No wonder Dumbledore is so angry at Snape … "
Hagrid suddenly stopped, and the face revealed under his unkempt black beard had a familiar guilty expression.
"What?" Harry asked immediately. "Dumbledore is angry at Snape?"
"I didn't say that." Hagrid denied it, but his terrified look was the best exposure. "Look at the time, it's twelve in the morning. It's already so late. You three go back to sleep, I still have to go …"
"Hagrid, why is Dumbledore angry at Snape?" Harry asked loudly, his voice echoing in the corridor.
"Lower your voice, Harry!" Elwyn tugged at Harry. He and Hagrid really could get into trouble at any time.
"I don't care. Tell me, Hagrid, why is Dumbledore angry at Snape?" Harry asked loudly again.
"Alright, alright!" Hagrid said, looking nervous and annoyed. "Please, don't say things like that. Do you want me to lose my job? Oh, I don't think you guys care, do you? Anyway, you've already given up on protecting Miracle … "
"Don't try to make me feel guilty. That's useless!" Harry said fiercely. "What did Snape do?"
