Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

As soon as the conch fell, Harry bent down to pick it up.

There was a sudden sharp pain in Harry's arm. He turned around and saw Draco grabbing him tightly and pulling him back.

"Don't get close to pollutants. Who knows if it's disguised?"

Draco looked at the music box in his palm.

Even though the conch pollutant seemed to have lost its power, the music box in his palm never stopped making sounds.

In other words, the music box is still fighting against the evil god's whispers emitted by pollutants.

This means that the conch is most likely camouflaged and it still has the power to lure them.

Ron asked, "What should we do now? Notify the professor to come over?"

Harry frowned slightly, he didn't want to let the professor know that they had found this contaminant. His intuition told him that this conch was very important to him.

It just so happened that Draco didn't want the professor to know that he had a magical item that could deal with pollutants.

Draco said: "This pollutant doesn't look very serious. We can handle it. Why don't we try to solve it ourselves?

It is not convenient for the school professors to know about the strange objects I took out, as they might cause some bad thoughts to the Malfoy family. "

Hermione asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

In her mind, any magical object that can deal with pollutants is very powerful.

This can directly fight against pollutants and even destroy them, and wizards will not be harmed when using it.

Ron knew something and said, "The gun you just used is a prohibited item. The Ministry of Magic issued a ban not long ago, prohibiting nobles from keeping prohibited items privately. They also arrested several nobles and punished them as a warning to others."

Draco said calmly: "It is contraband, but there is no cost when using it. It is filled with magical energy that can deal with pollutants.

This is a gun my father left for me for self-defense. If we didn’t have that gun, we might not be able to deal with this pollutant now.”

Draco turned to look at Harry, "Harry, is there any voice in your head telling you how to solve this problem?"

Harry stared at the conch, suddenly dazed.

It was as if the entire person's soul was sucked into the conch, recreating a scene that the conch had seen.

Harry looked around and found that he was still in the Shrieking Shack and his location had not changed.

But the Screaming Shack here looks brighter and less old than before, and someone must have cleaned it.

Harry was about to leave when he heard a noise outside the door.

Through the window, he saw a large group of cloaked wizards and immediately hid beside a cabinet.

The door was pushed open, and Professor McGonagall's voice was the first to be heard: "Is this where they are having their internal fight?"

Another professor Harry had never seen before spoke up, "Yes, it's here."

Mag said, "Let's explore again and see if we can find anything else."

Harry was a little nervous, afraid that he would be found out.

But soon, he found that he was nervous for nothing.

These professors can't see him at all!

He seemed to be just a vague image, and several professors walked towards him and passed directly through his body.

The professors searched the Shrieking Shack inside and out, but found nothing, so they went to report to McGonagall.

McGonagall sighed: "Sirius is not that kind of person, how could he betray Potter?"

Another professor spoke up, "But Sirius has already confessed. Not only did he betray his oath to Potter, he also killed more than a dozen wizards in the Order of the Phoenix, including his best friend Peter Pettigrew."

Professor Mike frowned, as if he was thinking about something extremely difficult.

She had taught Sirius and knew the child's temperament, and she didn't believe that Sirius would do such a thing.

But Peter Pettigrew was dead, and there was no evidence to prove anything.

And it was because Sirius broke his oath and revealed their whereabouts that Potter was killed by Voldemort.

Harry gradually understood the truth of that year from the professors' fragmentary words, and his heart trembled violently.

It was as if he was pierced by a sharp thorn, and the pain spread to his limbs and veins, causing him to curl up in pain.

At this moment, Harry felt deeply the power of emotion.

He was extremely angry, so angry that he wanted to kill Sirius to avenge his father!

He could never have imagined that his godfather, Sirius Black, actually betrayed his father, causing the death of his parents at the hands of Voldemort!

If it weren't for Sirius' betrayal, would he have a complete family now?

Harry was on the verge of a breakdown.

The next second, the scene changed and Professor McGonagall and others disappeared.

But Harry was still in the Shrieking Shack, and this Shrieking Shack was a little different from the previous one.

He didn't have time to observe what was different. He only saw a ray of afterglow from the setting sun shining into the shed through the window. He heard hurried footsteps outside the door again, as well as some kind of whipping sound.

After a while, several people rushed in and started arguing.

Harry's eyes widened, he actually saw Sirius!
Besides these, there were a few people he didn't know... Wait, wasn't that Professor Lupin?

How did Lupin know Sirius?

Right in front of him, the group broke out into a quarrel, and Sirius said with a painful look on his face: "It wasn't me, I didn't leak their information."

Another person said, "But Peter is dead. Of all people, you are the only one who knows their location. If you hadn't revealed the location, how could the Fidelius Charm not have worked?"

"No, it's not me! I swear!" Sirius said excitedly.

Lupin looked very painful: "But you are the only one who knows where they are. Besides you, only Peter knows, but he is dead."

As he spoke, he drew his wand and pointed it at Sirius.

Not only him, several other people also drew their wands and pointed them at Sirius.

The tense situation is about to break out.

Harry watched with wide eyes, hoping desperately that Sirius would die in the melee in order to avenge the murder of his parents.

But Harry felt something was wrong.

The Sirius here looked very young. Although his face was haggard, his forehead was full and he looked full of energy, unlike the skinny portrait in the newspaper.

Harry looked around and found that the Shrieking Shack here was also newer than the previous scene. Could it be that he had come to the internal fighting scene that Professor McGonagall had mentioned?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Harry's mind. Were all the scenes he experienced the same scenes that the conch pollutant had seen?
If the Conch contaminant has always been in the Shrieking Shack, and he can see previous scenes, does that mean the contaminant is a record?
As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, the scene around me changed again.

Harry suddenly felt a severe headache and was struck by dizziness. His limbs also felt sore, as if he had been exercising for several days without rest.

Suddenly, Harry's eyes went dark.

He kept hearing his friend's shouts in his ears: "Harry, wake up, Harry!"

Harry wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids were too heavy to open.

He fell into a deep sleep.

Inside the Shrieking Shack.

The other three people hurriedly supported Harry who suddenly fainted, and they all felt very confused.

Harry just stared at the conch contaminant for a few seconds, why did he suddenly faint?

They were also observing conch pollutants, but there was no response.

Draco said in a deep voice: "It may be that the pollutant has established some kind of connection with Harry, or the evil god's whispering on it has affected Harry, causing Harry to fall into a coma.

We have to go back to school to check what the specific situation is. We should not get close to this pollutant, so as not to affect us. "

Ron suddenly became nervous after hearing this.

"Harry is disturbed by the evil god's whispering. What should he do? Will he become corrupted? Will his mind become abnormal? He..."

Hermione interrupted him: "Ron, stop, calm down! Do you think Harry is mentally ill now? He is just unconscious.

I have seen aliens that have appeared in the school. Their conditions are completely different from Harry's, and it is easy to detect that something is wrong.

I read in a book that wizards who were led to corruption by the evil god's whispers would have their eye color and demeanor change. They would always mutter something mysterious, such as welcoming the advent of a new world...

Even if there is something wrong with Harry, we have to wait until he wakes up to check it out."

Hermione glanced at the conch contaminant and said solemnly, "We need to find a way to clean up or hide this contaminant. I don't think the Shrieking Shack is safe. If it can't be removed, it's best to move it out.

We carry magical items that can resist the effects of pollutants, but other wizards may not be so lucky."

Draco suddenly thought of something and took out a jade box from the ring.

This box is very beautiful, made of white jade, and looks like some kind of luxurious oriental jade product.

The moment the box was opened, intricate and beautiful patterns appeared on the surface of the box.

Ron was now very familiar with magic arrays. Just by looking at the pattern that flashed by, he knew that this was some kind of special magic array.

He asked: "What is this?"

Draco replied: "A box used to store special items. I usually use it to store the potions I make. It can keep the potions longer and slow down the loss of efficacy.

But this kind of box can also temporarily contain pollutants, so that their aura does not leak out, and should be able to avoid the detection of the Hogwarts detection magic array."

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Malfoy family was indeed the aristocracy of the wizarding world, and how come Draco had everything.

Lin Xia is the same, she always has a lot of new and interesting things in her ring.

She asked: "How long can it be hidden?"

Draco quickly replied: "The level of contamination shouldn't be too high. Three days will be fine."

Ron thought they were both crazy for wanting to bring contaminants back to Hogwarts!
If we want to do as he says, we can just throw him into the Screaming Shack. The shack is locked from the outside anyway and no one else can get in.

He voiced the thought again, thinking that Hermione and Draco's concerns were not a problem at all.

Hermione was also a little hesitant.

But Draco said: "We don't know what the purpose of this pollutant is now. What if it has other functions besides emitting the evil god's whispers?
I remember there were many conch-shaped pollutants that could record sounds and even voices and appearances.

What if this contaminant also has this effect? ​​If someone really comes in, such as Professor McGonagall, searches for the contaminant, and then sees through the contaminant that we have been here.

When they come to ask about it, how should we answer? Should we disclose Harry's abnormality?"

As soon as Draco said this, an idea suddenly came to him, and he looked at Harry with a serious expression.

Hermione also noticed it and opened her eyes slightly.

They have always believed in Harry and felt that Harry's ability to hear sounds that ordinary people cannot hear is his unique ability.

But if you think about it carefully, isn't Harry's behavior at this moment like the early stages of being infected by the evil god's whispers?
Draco and Hermione looked at each other with ugly expressions.

Ron didn't find anything, but followed Draco's line of thought and thought it would be better to take the contaminants back.

Unfortunately, Lin Xia was not around.

If Lin Xia were here, she would definitely know how to destroy the pollutants.

As for how to get the pollutants into the box, that's even simpler. Just wave your wand and use a levitation spell to control it.

When Draco and others retreated, on Lin Xia's side, the professors had already set up a magic array in Honeydukes shop to detect whether wizards were infected.

Flitwick said, "The materials are limited, and we set it up too hastily. This magic array can only last for an hour. Let's activate it as soon as possible."

Snape suddenly turned to look at Lin Xia and said coldly, "You are the first person in the store to discover the flash firework exploding candy. Although you have a special physique, I am not sure whether you have been affected. Go up and check it out."

When he said this, he was staring at Lin Xia with sharp eyes.

It seemed as if he was going to force her to do the examination even though she didn't want to.

But with Professor McGonagall here, he finally gave the professor some face and didn't point his wand at her.

These thoughts flashed through Lin Xia's mind, and she said without hesitation: "Okay.

She walked to the center of the magic rune array, and Professor Flitwick quickly started it up. Lin Xia felt several rays of light sweeping over her, but she felt nothing.

Soon, Professor McGonagall said, "Lin Xia, you don't have any infection, you can leave."

After she left, other professors also walked into the magic rune array one by one to be tested. Lin Xia watched from the outside and didn't notice anything different.

Maybe there is nothing unusual, which means it is normal.

Soon, it was the turn of the Honeydukes clerk to conduct the inspection. Snape forced the manager to go in, using offensive magic as a deterrent.

The store manager walked in trembling, his body shaking violently. He was very scared, but the testing process was not uncomfortable.

However, the next second, Lin Xia's eyes changed slightly.

A bright blue light was emitted from all parts of the store manager's body. This light was very similar to the color of the flashing firework exploding candy!

The professor's expression changed instantly, and McGonagall said solemnly: "He is infected." (End of this chapter)
