Hogwarts: Is this junior good or evil?

Chapter 334 Heated Discussion in the Ward

The atmosphere in the Hogwarts ward was heavy and depressing. Four beds were neatly arranged, on which lay Nick, Justin, Colin, and Mrs. Norris, who were almost headless. They were the four victims of the attack.

"How are they doing?" Professor McGonagall asked worriedly, her eyes revealing concern.

Yang Tian shook his head solemnly: "The current conditions of the four of them are almost the same. I can only try my best to ensure that their lives are not in danger. But if we can't find a way to detoxify as soon as possible, I'm afraid..." His voice was low and serious, as if he was under tremendous pressure.

In fact, Yang Tian did not want to reveal too early that he had mastered the means to remove the first two toxins. Once this news was made public, the crazy mastermind behind the scenes might do more unpredictable things. Therefore, he chose to keep it secret for the time being.

At this time, Professor Flitwick looked at Yang Tian expectantly: "Can we ask the Five Idiots to come and take a look this time? Maybe they can find more clues this time."

Professor Dumbledore nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Professor Flitwick's suggestion.

"They are still in China. I will send them a letter later and ask them to come as soon as possible. However, long-distance travel takes time after all." Yang Tian replied respectfully. After a pause, he asked cautiously, "Are there still no clues at the scene this time?"

"We have carefully inspected the scene many times, and there are indeed no clues worthy of attention." Professor Snape, who had just returned, frowned and said unwillingly.

"But didn't you say last time that the professors had arranged for patrols in the castle in shifts? Then why are they still doing it this time..." Yang Tian asked in some confusion.

"We have always had rotating patrols," Professor Flitwick said quickly. After a pause, he explained with a guilty conscience, "It's just that today is a little special. Nothing has happened for such a long time. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, so everyone has relaxed their vigilance and is helping to prepare for the dinner."

"But..." After thinking for a moment, Yang Tian asked in a serious tone, "But, did the opponent guess that there was no one patrolling today, or did they learn that the professors did not go on patrol, so they dared to take action so blatantly? Does this mean that the opponent has been keeping his troops in place before because they knew that we would arrange patrols in the castle?"

Dumbledore and the four deans were stunned at first, and then their faces turned extremely gloomy. Indeed, all this was too coincidental. Everything seemed to tell them that the enemy knew their whereabouts very well. It was just an inadvertent flaw that was quickly seized by the enemy and launched an attack.

"This is indeed a very important clue, but it is too broad after all. There are many ways to monitor the whereabouts of professors, and it is not easy to find out clearly." Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, and she said seriously: "But I am more worried about the stability of the school now. After this attack, the panic of the students will definitely intensify further. If the investigation still makes no progress, the consequences will be disastrous. We really don't have much time left."

Professor Snape was obviously very unhappy when he heard this. He folded his arms and looked directly at Professor McGonagall. He said in a low voice with a gloomy expression: "Everyone knows the progress of the investigation. This cannot be achieved by simply expressing determination. We must find breakthroughs in more directions, otherwise, things will only get worse and worse." He paused, and then said: "Maybe we need to change our strategy."

Professor Snape turned his head suddenly and looked at Headmaster Dumbledore sharply: "Perhaps we can find new clues from Harry Potter. After all, he is always at the scene every time something happens."

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall's face changed. She looked at Snape in disbelief, and her voice unconsciously rose several decibels: "Professor Snape! You are not doubting Harry, are you? You should know the character of that child. He would never do such a thing."

"We won't discuss Mr. Potter's behavior for now, but these incidents always revolve around him. This is the truth, right? Don't you find it strange that there are such obvious flaws?" Professor Snape refused to give in, and his tone became aggressive. "The whole school is in danger now. Shouldn't we try our best to investigate even such clues?"

Headmaster Dumbledore saw the tension between the two and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Severus, Harry Potter is just a child after all, and we all know all his experiences, don't we? If we force an investigation on him now, the damage to him will be visible to the naked eye.

Professor Snape showed a sneer on his face, and he said coldly: "Then please give me a reasonable explanation, why all these things happen around him? Is all this a coincidence? If it is not a coincidence, then who is carefully crafting a conspiracy around Mr. Potter!"

Hearing this, Yang Tian almost laughed out loud. Good fellow, Professor Snape is really arrogant! Knowing the original work well, he didn't believe that the professor of potions would really embarrass Harry Potter. Now that he saw it, it was true! Isn't this just an awkward way of helping Harry from the side, fearing that Harry would be caught in the conspiracy?

Dumbledore obviously understood Professor Snape's idea. After a little thought, he finally said, "Okay, there is no need to argue. I already understand your ideas."

After hearing this, everyone kept silent.

"Yang Tian, ​​although it's not appropriate to say this, Hogwarts is in a turbulent time right now." Dumbledore's expression was extremely solemn. He chose to communicate with Yang Tian first: "If you are willing to stay in school for the rest of the Christmas vacation, I would be very grateful. In this way, if an attack occurs again, you can rush to the scene to rescue as quickly as possible, thereby greatly increasing the survival rate of the victims. Of course, this is just my personal request, and the final decision is still in your hands."

Yang Tian was silent for a moment before he finally nodded softly: "I am a member of Hogwarts, and I have no choice but to do my part in this crisis." In fact, in order to prevent another accident, he had already decided to spend the Christmas holiday at Hogwarts. But in order to show his own value, he still deliberately played it safe.

Sure enough, after hearing Yang Tian's answer, the professors were relieved; at the same time, they couldn't help but smile with relief. They knew that Yang Tian's presence was crucial to protecting the students' safety. At least, it could save their lives at the critical moment. And Yang Tian was obviously also loyal to Hogwarts, so how could the professors not dare to move?
