In the principal's office, the two of them once again stuck their heads into the pensieve.
They fell through the swirling darkness, down, down, until they landed on solid ground.
Dumbledore looked around. It was already night, and the moon and stars were dotted in the night sky.Hagrid's hut was not far from them, and the lights had been turned off.
On the other side of them was the dark edge of the Forbidden Forest.
"This also happened on the same night."
Meadows pointed to an open space and said, "I was standing there and used the Disillusionment Spell to completely hide myself."
"Excellent level." Dumbledore admired: "Every time I meet you, I am amazed by your magical talent, and this time is no exception."
But Meadows did not feel happy about it. On the contrary, her heart was full of nervousness and apprehension.
The two stood quietly. Dumbledore did not urge Meadows, and Meadows did not explain anything more.
After a while, a figure walked out from the castle and was walking towards the Forbidden Forest.
"That's Ted Tonks."
Meadows said: "He could no longer endure the fact that Larry and Andromeda had not yet woken up. Although I had caught him in the Forbidden Forest, he finally chose to sneak away again. To the Forbidden Forest—on his last day at school."
Ted walked carefully past the two of them, and finally sneaked into the Forbidden Forest.
However, Meadows did not follow him, but continued to wait where he was.
"But I'm not the only one who knows this."
Just after she said this, the door of the castle in the distance quietly opened a gap, and then automatically closed gently.
"That's Lucius Malfoy."
"He hid under his invisibility cloak and thought he could hide everything," Meadows said.
Although there was nothing on the road, their eyes were moving along with Lucius's movements.
Meadows continued: "And not only that, Andromeda was harmed for a completely different reason than Larry was."
"Larry's condition is somewhat similar to being harmed by a mandrake's scream or a female ghost. But Andromeda's condition is more serious than Larry's. I suspect it is a strong coma. The effective black potion was secretly prepared in the castle by Lucius after obtaining the ingredients."
"Lucius was responsible for Andromeda, but he just wanted to teach Andromeda a lesson. As a punishment for her daring to fall in love with a Muggle-born, she will be regarded as a pure-blood traitor by them."
"It's also a good inducement to give him a chance to punish someone who really doesn't deserve a mention - Ted Tonks."
After hesitating for a moment, Meadows added in a low voice: "This is why Larry got better faster than Andromeda."
She told Dumbledore the truth about the excuse she had given him after the exam.
"I remember this."
Dumbledore said calmly, but this made the expression on Meadows' face become more worried.
"Maybe we should follow him?"
Dumbledore didn't seem to notice this. He moved his eyes to the depths of the Forbidden Forest and suggested to Meadows.
"Oh, yes, that's right."
The panic on Meadows's face disappeared in an instant. She and Dumbledore walked quickly through the dense woods, chasing the invisible figure.
After taking a deep breath, Meadows tried to calm down again.
"It all started when Abraxas Malfoy visited the school."
She finally said: "After getting your rejection, he has been thinking about how to frame Hogwarts. To be more precise, how to slander you, at least to expel you from the position of principal."
"But he can't get the agreement of the other school board members, especially in such a crisis. The other members believe that only you can ensure the safety of Hogwarts under the threat of the mysterious man's growing power. "
"So, Abraxas changed his approach."
"He directly found the mysterious man, and after paying enough price, he got some secret information."
"Eventually, he passed this information into the hands of his son, Lucius Malfoy."
"They didn't have high hopes for it at first until something else happened - the romance between Andromeda and Ted was exposed."
When they said this, the two stopped beside a yew tree. Lucius in front was identifying the direction.Meadows glanced sideways at Dumbledore, but he had no intention of interrupting.
Meadows could only continue: "One of them is a Muggle-born, and the other is about to become a complete pure-blood traitor. So, they naturally became Lucius's target."
"After a confinement, Lucius was planning to go to the Forbidden Forest again to find one of the things in the message from the mysterious man - the Acromantula. They are originally dark creatures, as long as they are discovered by others in the Forbidden Forest Their mere existence is enough to have a great adverse impact on you.”
"But the Malfoy family's ambitions are much greater than we imagined."
"It was on that night that Lucius happened to find the injured Larry, which made him think of a more vicious plan - to use these Acromantulas to kill an insignificant Muggle-born in the school , and then let reporters report it."
"So, after this, Rita Skeeter was invited to Hogwarts by the school board for an exclusive interview, but this was not the real purpose of Abraxas. Therefore, even after Skeeter was excluded from the school, , she still chose to live in Hogsmeade Village under the instructions and funding of Abraxas, which will make it easier for her to discover this accident as soon as possible."
"Lucius did more. He used another piece of Voldemort's information to find a room that would not be discovered, and there he used the common ingredients purchased by the owl to create Crazy Primer and Black Magic potion.”
"After this, things are simple."
At this time, as they kept walking, they had followed Lucius to a depression, which was densely covered with large and small Acromantulas.
Lucius stood at the edge. He carefully took out a few bottles of crazy potion from under the invisibility cloak, and spread the potion little by little through his wand.
Then he changed direction and found Ted on the other side, who was wandering around like a headless fly. He successfully attacked him with another bottle of black magic potion, causing Ted to suddenly pass out.
But during the process of transporting Ted's body, something unexpected happened.

Lucius accidentally bumped his body against something.
That's Lily hiding under the invisibility cloak.
