Elwyn's right hand slid down and naturally landed on the magic wand at his waist.
Then, he saw Snape pull out a small crystal bottle. Inside was a clear and transparent potion.
"Since you don't know anything about what happened tonight, do you know what this is?" Snape said, his eyes flashing with malice.
"Truth-telling potion!" Elwyn said word by word.
Of course he knew about this thing. He had seen the formula and finished product of this magic potion more than once.
"Looks like you're not as ignorant as you think. That's right, this is a Truth-telling potion. It's a potion that teaches you to tell the truth. The effect is extremely strong. With just three drops, you'll reveal the deepest secrets in your heart and let the whole school listen! "Snape said.
"Professor, using this potion is illegal!" Hermione couldn't help but say.
She couldn't believe it. Snape was too much. He actually took out a Truth-telling potion to threaten them.
"You're right, Granger. The Ministry of Magic has very strict regulations to control the use of this potion. But you have to be extra careful, or else I'll make a mistake. "Snape shook the crystal bottle slightly." For example, I'll pour it into your pumpkin juice for dinner. Then, we'll find out if you've been to my office or if you know any unspeakable secrets. "
Elwyn didn't reply. His gaze fell on the small bottle of Truth-telling potion in Snape's hand.
He had too many secrets. If Snape really did secretly pour a few drops on him, then the consequences …
In fact, after hearing Snape's words, Hermione didn't feel good either.
Everyone had things they didn't want others to know. Truth-telling potions were too scary.
Unlike the Soul Snatching Spell or the Soul Snatching Spell, there was no way to resist the effects of the Truth-telling Potion. Moreover, it was colorless and odorless, making it hard to guard against.
Even a wizard as powerful as Dumbledore would be affected by this potion.
"You can't do this!" Elwyn said softly.
"You're scared now, aren't you?!" Snape's face revealed a trace of a sneer, he said softly, "Let me think, what kind of punishment should I give you two? Wandering around the castle in the middle of the night, and even lying to me. Gryffindor will have 100 points deducted and he will be grounded until the end of the semester. Every week … "
Before he could finish, a series of banging sounds came from upstairs, followed by screams.
Snape ran as fast as he could. Elwyn and Hermione looked at each other and followed.
Then they saw Filch, his cat, and the golden egg on the stairs that led to the third floor.
Almost instantly, Elwyn guessed that this was Ron's golden egg. He and Harry must be nearby.
Although he did not know why they brought the golden egg out at night, only Harry's Invisibility Cloak could make them invisible.
This was really terrible. If things went wrong, there would be two more people in confinement.
"What happened?" Snape asked.
"It's Mischievous, Professor!" Filch whispered fiercely. "He threw the egg down the stairs."
Snape quickly walked up the stairs and stopped beside Filch.
Harry and Ron looked at him nervously, then looked at Elwyn and Hermione at the bottom of the stairs.
Their clothes were messy and covered in mud. What did they just do outside the castle …
"Mischievous?" Snape said softly, his eyes staring at the golden egg in Filch's hand. "Interesting!"
"Professor, why are they here!" Filch said, pointing at Elwyn and Hermione.
Madam Dolores ran to Elwyn's side and rubbed against him affectionately.
Speaking of which, this cat was really ugly!
In fact, because of Madam Dolores, Filch and Elwyn had a good relationship.
Sometimes, when Elwyn wandered around the castle in the middle of the night, Filch would let him go, but that was all.
It was impossible for him to plead with Snape on behalf of Elwyn, and it would be useless.
"Someone broke into my office. I chased after them and saw them!" Snape said softly.
"Could it be Mischievous?!" Filch said happily. "Was this golden egg in your office, Professor?"
"Of course not!" Snape said harshly. "I heard a series of banging noises, and screams …"
"It was Mischievous. He stole the golden egg and threw it down the stairs," Filch said, rubbing his hands. Filch said, rubbing his hands. "If this golden egg is in your office, then he's …"
"I said it wasn't him, Filch!" Snape's voice became stern again. "I sealed my office with a spell. Only wizards can break in, and there's a strong defensive spell there. That person must be injured!"
Snape looked up and glanced at Elwyn and Hermione, then looked up the stairs.
His eyes went straight through Harry and Ron's bodies, then looked down the hallway.
"The person who broke into my office wasn't them, and it wasn't Mischievous either!" Snape said. "He can't have gone far. I want you to help me search for the person who broke in, Filch."
"What, Professor?!" Filch said in surprise.
He looked up the stairs, his eyes penetrating Harry and Ron under the Invisibility Cloak.
Harry could see that he was unwilling to give up this good opportunity to stop Mischievous.
"Close the door and search the entire castle!" Snape said coldly.
At the bottom of the stairs, Elwyn was speechless. Snape already knew that he and Hermione didn't do it.
But he still took the opportunity to use Mind Capture on him, and even threatened him with a truth-telling potion. What a dangerous guy.
"It's like this, Professor!" Filch said dejectedly. "I think we still have things to do. I'm afraid the headmaster will have to listen to me this time. Mischievous stole something from a student. This time I may have a chance to kick him out of the castle forever …"
"Filch, I don't care about that annoying prankster ghost. It was my office that was …"
Tap, tap, tap!!!
Snape suddenly stopped talking. Everyone looked up the stairs.
Through the gap between their heads, Elwyn saw Keresis limping out and reverting to his Moody form.
He was wearing an old traveling cloak over his long shirt pajamas, and he was using a cane as usual.
Tonight's incident was all caused by this guy, and he took so long to show up.
If it weren't for him entering Snape's office and foolishly activating some defensive spell, Elwyn and Hermione would have gone to their respective bedrooms to sleep, instead of standing here waiting for Snape to announce his punishment.
