I'm Really an Alchemist
Page 357
Dumbledore tried to keep his voice as calm as possible.
He looked at Harry Potter guiltily, and said in a low voice, "I should have believed you."
"The dark wizard Dubwa has invaded Hogwarts since September. He used compound potions to transform into the appearance of students, and hid in the castle to operate secretly. This is the truth that there are no students in Hogwarts."
"The Gryffindor student who kidnapped the unicorn is also him!"
Dumbledore's eyes were dark, he looked across the auditorium at the closed door, and said calmly: "He should still be hiding somewhere in this castle!"
The professors' scalps tingled with shock from this speculation.
Hogwarts Castle was surrounded, and the magic barrier not only prevented the outsider from entering, but also blocked the possibility of people inside escaping.
If it is really the dark wizard Dubois.
He used the compound potion to transform, there must be one more student among the students, but the professors have already checked, and all the students are here.
Then he must be hiding somewhere in the castle, waiting for a chance to escape!
Dumbledore ordered decisively.
"Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, you and I will investigate the school together! Professor Lockhart, Professor Sprout, please protect the students here, and don't let any student leave."
"Professor Dumbledore, we are here to help you too!"
Harry pulled the bitter-faced Ron to volunteer.
He took out the Marauder's Map and said seriously, "We need its help."
Seeing the name displayed on the Marauder's Map, Professor Snape was taken aback, then hummed softly in disdain, but he didn't do anything in such a critical situation.
Everyone quickly checked every secret room and passage in the castle.
Time passed little by little.
The magical animals outside the magic barrier became more and more anxious. The centaur Bane looked up at the sky, and the dark blue curtain descended slowly, covering the last ray of light in the sky.
He clenched the spear tightly, his eyes became colder and colder.
"Can't find it! Can't find it! Can't find it!"
Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and the tall petrified figure walked in the empty castle. She became more and more anxious because of the passage of time.
However, the castle has been turned over.
But can't find anything!
"What should I do?" Ron was about to cry. Holding his beating heart, he felt like he was walking a tightrope on a cliff. If he couldn't find it again, the war between Hogwarts and the centaurs would ignite.
Not only them, even the students in the auditorium were also anxious and frantic.
Malfoy forced himself to cheer up, and comforted his servants with a crying voice: "I'm not afraid...I'm from the Malfoy family, they don't dare to do anything to me, follow me when the time comes, we escape!"
Hermione Granger, who followed Professor Snape to inspect the castle, was also sweating nervously.
"Calm down, the more you get to this time, the more calm you are!" She closed her eyes, her breathing was a little short, and she carefully recalled all the details of the past few months.
Searching without a head is futile after all.
The clues are hidden in the details.
Hermione quickly reviewed all the details of the past five months.
She opened her eyes suddenly, and a memory image from a few months ago appeared in her head. It was the chat between the three of them and Ginny in the courtyard, when Colin, a first-year Gryffindor, came over.
Ginny left in panic and fear.
The relationship between the two was very weird. Ginny Weasley seemed to be quite afraid of Colin Creevey, who was harmless to humans and animals, but they didn't pay attention to this detail at the time.
Think back now.
Full sense of violation.
Why would a Weasley from a pure-blood family fear a Muggle-born half-blood wizard?
Hermione decided to take a gamble!

After finding the target, Hermione didn't have time to explain to Professor Snape, so she ran to the auditorium.
After she returned to the auditorium, all the students sat together according to the different houses.
"Ginny!"
Hermione came to the Gryffindor area and found Ginny Weasley, who was also restless, leaning against her friends.
After pulling Ginny out, she looked left and right again, and pulled out Colin Creevey who was among the boys.
When Ginny saw Colin, she shrank her body subconsciously, and was about to hide in the crowd, but Hermione grabbed her wrist.
"Ginny, I, Hogwarts need your help!"
Hermione pursed her lips and said seriously.
Pulling the terrified Ginny and the puzzled Colin to the corner, Hermione launched a reasoning inquiry.
"Colin, why do you have such a bad relationship with Ginny, she will avoid you when she sees you?"
Colin was very wronged.
"I don't know, it wasn't like this before!"
Hermione grasped the point, she looked at Ginny Weasley who was hiding behind her, and said softly, "Ginny, why are you afraid of Colin, has he ever bullied you?"
Ginny glanced at the aggrieved Colin, with confusion on her face.
She shook her head and said softly: "No, he never bullied me... I don't know why I'm afraid of him, but when I see him, I subconsciously feel terror."
Hermione pondered for a moment, then asked the two of them.
"Since when did your relationship change?"
Ginny bowed her head and said nothing, Colin thought for a while, and replied: "In the first week of school, I have a good relationship with Ginny, and she will also teach me about magic, but from the second week on, she saw me just run..."
He looked at the red-haired girl hurt: "Did I accidentally do something to hurt you?"
Ginny ducked behind Hermione, shaking her head again.
"I don't know, I'm just scared."
First week of school.
Hermione recalled what had happened in the first week.
On Thursday, Mr. Filch's cat was frightened and blocked the corridor to observe the students; on Friday morning, Mr. Filch was hung on the tower and was frightened.
On Saturday night, Harry and Ron followed the Marauder's Map and found the Myrtle bathroom.
On Sunday, the investigation of the secret room began.
If Colin's words were true, something had happened to Ginny in the last two days of the first week.
Hermione was suddenly taken aback by her guess.
Everything that happened today, there were a lot of symptoms in the first week...while Hogwarts was not at all alert at the time.
What happened to Ginny was related to the dark wizard Dubois—Hermione's sixth sense was reminding him, she came up with a strange guess, Ginny's fear of Colin, maybe the source of this fear was not Colin— Creevey.
Instead, he took the compound potion and turned into a dark wizard who looked like Colin.
"Ginny, do you remember what happened to you during the two days on the weekend of the first week of school?" Hermione carefully probed.
Ginny Weasley tilted her head, recalling a moment.
"On Saturday, during the day, Percy taught the rules of Hogwarts, saying that there are many places where you can't go, what to call many people, and at night I sleep in the dormitory... No, I went to the bathroom."
Confusion appeared on her small face: "Am I sleeping in the dormitory, or in the bathroom..."
Hermione was finally convinced.
"You're under the Oblivion Curse, Ginny!"
She pulled out her wand and pointed it at Ginny Weasley seriously: "If possible, please let me restore this memory of yours."
Ginny looked at Hermione tremblingly, but bravely closed her eyes.
She also wants to protect Hogwarts, and also wants to know what happened to herself.
However, the counter-curse cast by Hermione didn't help. Ginny didn't remember anything. Hermione could feel the power of the spell that blocked Ginny's memory.
That's not what she cracked.
But it was enough, she could be sure that Ginny Weasley had seen the dark wizard Dubois, and even she knew something before being wiped.
Hermione quickly took Ginny to the school nurse's wife in the auditorium, and explained the situation.
The school doctor's wife looked nervous, checked Ginny's condition, but solemnly said that there was not enough time to prepare a high-efficiency anti-curse potion, and when things turned around, she fell into despair again.
Zhou Qi, who understood the seriousness of the matter, came over.
He said seriously: "I know someone who can unlock Ginny's memory blockade. Dumbledore once told me that Professor Lockhart has a superb amnesiac technique, maybe he can do it."
Hermione was overjoyed, but Lockhart was not found in the auditorium.
Lockhart's office.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was frantically packing his clothes, packing books and props into boxes.
"I just want to be Harry Potter's teacher, to add luster to my resume, how could I encounter such a thing."
"Damn it, there are dark wizards in the school, and there is an army of animals outside the school...I have to find a place to hide and sneak away, this place is terrible!"
Lockhart muttered dissatisfied.
thump!
