Chapter 163 Traitor
Since the questions were very easy for them, by the time they got the report card for the last item from Snape at [-] p.m., they had actually been playing for more than an hour and even ran back to read the questions Margaery had written for a long time. .
Especially Hermione, she really envied Margaery's beautiful handwriting. Her handwriting could only be considered neat at best.
Esther's handwriting is also very beautiful, but it is too sharp. She can write gentle letters, but... those are drawn according to Margaery's handwriting.
They didn't stay in the office for long before they were kicked out by McGonagall on the grounds that it would interfere with Margaery's answer to the question.
Except for the professors, there was not even a ghost in the school. Finally, the three of them ran to Snape's office to watch Harry and Ron work. The frogs had been finished and they were dealing with the slugs.
It wasn't until a little after six o'clock that the potion in the crucible suddenly turned from turbid to clear. Snape went over to take out the potion, poured it out, put it into a bottle, filled them with an O, and then drove them away. Also suffering the same treatment were the two who were in solitary confinement. They could even wash their hands before being coaxed out together by Snape.
Returning to the Transfiguration Class Office, Margaery had finished answering the questions and was waiting for McGonagall to mark her papers.
After waiting for a while, she signed the big word "passed" on each piece of paper. She tapped the wand, and some blank photo frames in the corner flew over and quickly framed the papers. They lined up and waved. He opened the office door and walked out.
Mag took off the glasses on the bridge of her nose to relieve her tired glasses: "Miss Langley, congratulations on passing this test. After the Christmas vacation, the school will divide all the courses taught by the dean into two stage, you will be responsible for the courses before the third year of Potions." (Note)
"So fast? But I haven't officially graduated yet..." Margaery has been able to control her abilities very well and cannot read people's minds at any time. She said hesitantly after hearing this.
"So you need to be tested so that everyone will be convinced."
Ma En next to him asked curiously: "Professor, who will teach the first three grades of Transfiguration, Charms and Herbal Medicine?"
"Until we find someone, we will still be coached by the deans... Mr. Langley, this doesn't seem to be something you should care about. You might as well think about how to explain to Professor Wald the commotion you made last night."
"This..." Ma En was stunned, and then a layer of cold sweat quickly broke out on his forehead. How did she know.
McGonagall glanced at him angrily: "Professor Dumbledore told me, Marn, although those people do deserve to die, but... they shouldn't die in the hands of a child. It doesn't matter whether it's fair or unfair to them. , but it’s unfair to that child.”
Ma En was stunned for a moment. In the eyes of most people, Professor McGonagall was always either training people or on the way to teach them. It was rare to see her speak with such earnestness and sincerity, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"Professor, I..."
She directly interrupted what Ma En actually didn't know how to say: "Go back and think about it carefully. You are too young and are not suitable for contact and causing so many deaths. Also, you don't need to do it when you are not in class in the future. Ask for leave, at least don't send a letter, Cassandra is really strong, it broke the glass of my office this morning, and half of the window was broken."
"Uh...it's just a little fat..."
When everything was over, Ma En and others also left together.
Almost as soon as he returned to the tea house, Ma En's phone beeped. He sighed and pressed the connect button.
Old Walder first teased a few words about the commotion he made. Just when Ma En thought he was going to change the subject and teach him a political lesson, he carefully began to ask Ma En whether last night was exactly today. He was asked about the details of everything that happened that morning, especially his exchange with Barty Crouch Jr.
"Did Margaery see anything in his head?"
"There isn't much useful information. He cast the Imperius Curse on himself, and he died too quickly. We can only know that he paved the way for something, as if he was trying to gain my trust for someone? But who is Lian? I didn’t even see this person die after getting married.”
"I guessed it right." He said with certainty after hearing everything.
"You guessed nothing wrong."
"There is a traitor next to me, or someone who is a spy."
Ma En asked with some confusion: "Aren't there many spies around you? You still know most of them, why do you suddenly pay attention to them?"
"This time is different. This person must be someone very close to me."
"How to say?"
"Not many people know that Margaery is an enhanced gifted Legilimency, but Crouch knows about it. This can only mean one thing. Someone has leaked the secret."
"No, there should be a lot of people who know...Ryan, Miley, and me needless to say, as well as Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Snape, you, Esther, Hermione..."
"Marn, think carefully about the characteristics of these people you mentioned."
Ma En thought about it, frowned and said, "Are they all elders or very good friends?"
"Do you think any of them would have the slightest chance of going out and talking about Margaery? This would be a very bad thing for her. Once word spreads, everyone who sees her will be wary of her."
"Perhaps we should check out these people who know, and ask Tracy to pick up Margaery and come to my place tomorrow...You should have finished reading the ordinary level exam now, right? Come over together, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Okay, then...the specific time?"
"At nine o'clock in the morning, remember to ask Margaery to check on Tracy first. If there is any problem with her... then kill her."
Ma En was silent for a moment and said, "Okay."
"Son, I know you have a good relationship with Tracey, but... sometimes victory has to be paid. Once she has problems, the basis for your good relationship will no longer exist."
"I see."
"If you want to return to your original position and quietly wait for victory, now..."
"I won't say much more. Since I have made up my mind, I will definitely finish what I set out to do."
There was silence on the other side of the receiver for a while, then Walder chuckled and said, "You are still as disobedient as you were when you were a kid, kid."
"You are different from what you said. You are much crazier than your best friend, old guy."
"Hahahaha, if you have a chance, I must ask you to meet him. You two said exactly the same thing."
"He came out?"
"He was never in it."
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Old Wald did not continue to explain, but laughed a few times and hung up the phone.
