Chapter 194 Disputes caused by cat and mouse

Snape's suggestion obviously caused great trouble to Lupine.

Although John was not able to witness the relevant interrogation process, during dinner, John and other students could still feel that Lupine had fallen into a state of extreme exhaustion.

His entire body was in a trance, and sometimes he would even freeze while eating.

That's why Snape didn't want to let Lupin go.

He specifically sat next to Lupine during dinner, glancing at him with that unkind look from time to time, and finally said loudly on purpose:

"Mr. Minister, I suggest you just use Veritaserum! This is the way to deal with criminals! If you need help, I have a big bottle over there!"

Snape's proposal was naturally not adopted by Fudge and Dumbledore.

But those Aurors looked a little eager to try.

John guessed that the Aurors must have been tortured by the 'military order' he instigated.

And it turns out that the Aurors are indeed a little crazy.

Starting from the next day, they sealed off the entire Hogwarts.

Except for breakfast, lunch and dinner, all students can only stay in the common room and dormitory of their own college.

Even all kinds of mail in and out of Hogwarts were intercepted by them.

This caused great dissatisfaction among students.

Michelle, who failed to receive or deliver Christmas gifts, even took Harry and others together to try to sneak to the Owl Tower using an invisibility cloak.

As a result, the Aurors were obviously more professional than Mr. Filch and Mrs. Norris. Not long after they left the Gryffindor Tower, Michelle and others were caught red-handed.

This took away a lot of gems from the Gryffindor hourglass.

John was living a relatively peaceful life.

Every day I either sat in the carved chair in front of the fireplace and read a book, or used the double-sided mirror to contact Michael.

From him, John also learned that the situation in Hogsmeade Village was also difficult.

A large number of strikers have settled in Hogsmeade Village and began to cooperate with the dementors to conduct a blanket search around the area.

The Shrieking Shack was also searched several times.

Fortunately, the tunnel leading to Hogwarts was not discovered.

After the Christmas vacation was over and the students returned to Hogwarts, the Aurors, under pressure from Dumbledore, lifted the seal on Hogwarts and allowed the students to move freely and study.

But at the same time, the Aurors also began interrogation work on a larger scale.

The targets ranged from all students to professors, and even the magic portraits in the school were interrogated.

Of course, Lupine is among them.

In other words, the interrogation against Lupine continues every day and never stops.

"Lupine is going to be finished soon!"

Seeing Lupine becoming more and more haggard and weak day by day, Draco said triumphantly in the auditorium, "I had a good talk with my father after I got home and successfully persuaded him to step up his complaints against Lupine. I want to live again." Soon it will be time for him to take his pile of junk and get out!"

Draco's words drew a chorus of echoes.

But John shook his head.

He felt that with Lupine's current physical and mental state, he might be exhausted to death by Snape and the Aurors before he was kicked out of Hogwarts.

But he didn't pity Lupin.

If Lupine could explain everything about the secret passage and the illegal Animagus, let alone Dumbledore who would protect him, Fudge might even treat Lupine as a guest.

It can be said that the current situation was all caused by him.

Just as John was thinking this, Michelle suddenly ran to John out of breath.

"John, I need your help!"

Michelle said loudly.

Hearing this, the eyes of all the Slytherins were attracted, and John frowned and asked:

"What's wrong with you again?"

"Don't worry, Michelle, speak slowly." Draco also came over and said with a smile, "We will all help you!"

The surrounding Slytherins also agreed.

Michelle is the only Gryffindor they are not hostile to. This is not only because Michelle looks cute and sunny and is kind-hearted, but also because Michelle has an older brother named John Shafik.

But after listening to the words of the Slytherins around him, Michelle shook her head, pulled John and ran out of the auditorium.

The two of them ran all the way to an abandoned classroom near Gryffindor before stopping.

And then John discovered that Hermione was also in the classroom.

She was lying on a dirty desk crying loudly.

Next to her, Harry sat with a dazed look on his face.

When John and Michelle came in, Harry's expression was still in a daze. His eyes only moved, and then his mouth opened and closed slightly, but no sound came from it.

Hermione covered her face as if to stop crying.

But it was all in vain. She was obviously extremely sad. Even though she had tried her best, intermittent sobs and a lot of tears continued to flow from her fingers.

"What exactly happened here?"

John asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"John——"

Harry finally spoke, his voice sounding like a wail, "They took my Firebolt away!"

"Firebolt?"

"It is the most perfect competition broomstick in the world, representing the highest level of craftsmanship today!"

"Did you buy it? It should be worth a lot of money."

"No, that was a Christmas present from someone, a nameless person."

Harry shook his head in pain, "But the Aurors intercepted the mail and concluded that it was from Black. Those guys... they dismantled the Firebolt completely, and then interrogated me again!"

Oh my god!My Nimbus 2000 was damaged by the Whomping Willow, and now the Firebolt has been taken away. How should I play in the next games? "

John sighed helplessly and said:

"Harry, do you think it is possible for the Quidditch Cup to continue this year now that Hogwarts has become like this?"

As soon as these words came out, Harry was stunned.

He stared at John blankly, and the look of despair on his face became a little more intense.

John shook his head and said:

"Michelle, you brought me here just to ask the Aurors to give Harry a new broom?"

"Of course not! Who cares about a broom now?" Michelle pointed at Hermione and shouted, "I want you to help Hermione, her cat named Crookshanks Scabbers, the mouse that ate Ron.

Now Ron was angry at Hermione every day.I originally thought they would reconcile this time as quickly as before, but the situation became worse and worse. "

John said:

"But didn't Ron say it before? His mouse Scabbers might have been killed by Black."

"Yeah, but Ron thought about it and felt that even if Scabbers was killed by the explosion, it was because Crookshanks wanted to eat it all day long, so he scared it out of the dormitory and died."

Harry seemed to have regained some energy and whispered, "I personally think Ron's statement makes sense. After all, Crookshanks has obviously sneaked into our dormitory. Especially since Ron's bed is covered with cat hair."

"Crookshanks didn't eat Scabbers!"

Hermione suddenly put down her hands covering her face and choked, "I feed it well every day. It's impossible for it to be interested in dirty mice."

Upon hearing this, Harry immediately shut his mouth. Judging from his expression, he obviously didn't believe it.

This gave John a headache.

He really has no interest in getting involved in this kind of emotional dispute between little brats.

But if it was Michelle who requested it...

Sighing, he said seriously:

"Michelle, what do you want me to do?"

"John, I just want you to help persuade Hermione and Ron." Michelle's eyes were also red, "We are obviously good friends, and I really don't want to see them quarreling again!"

John glanced at Hermione.

Hermione's emotions were obviously out of control at the moment, and she was obviously not a good target for persuasion.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said:

"Okay, then take me to Gryffindor Tower to meet Ron."
