Hogwarts: Wizards Supreme - Chapter 344
c343 theft
In the Slytherin common room.
Daphne held her chin in one hand and rolled up a strand of her long golden hair hanging by her ears with the other hand. She looked out the window at the dark and quiet lake, with the light reflecting in her blue eyes.
A water balloon was thrown over by someone, and Daphne only had time to duck aside. The water balloon exploded beside her, and cold transparent water poured on her body, turning her into a drowned rat.
“What are you doing?” Daphne stood up and shook the water on her clothes, looking at the laughing girls beside her with annoyance.
Millicent Bosted shrugged her round shoulders, smiled provocatively with the girls beside her, and said without any apology: “I’m really sorry, we were just joking, and we accidentally affected is you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a large number of shiny slugs with mucus fell from the sky, burying Millicent and the others inside. They screamed hysterically, and for a moment, the common room was filled with howls and cries.
“Oops, I’m so sorry, my hand slipped.” Draco said slowly, holding his shoulders and winking at Daphne.
Seeing Millicent and others running towards the dormitory screaming, Daphne snorted dissatisfied and thanked Draco.
“You’re welcome, I just can’t stand them.” Draco raised his chin proudly, and then winked at Astoria beside him.
Daphne’s cheeks bulged, knowing Draco couldn’t boast too much. She turned her head away and recited a cleaning spell to herself, but the water was still dripping down her robe. She walked helplessly towards the bedroom, ready to change clothes.
The lights were on in the dormitory, and Pansy was sitting on the four-poster bed with her legs dangling, holding a storybook in her hand and reading with relish.
Daphne ignored her, took off her robe, took a new set of clothes and walked into the bathroom.
Thinking about what just happened, Daphne wrinkled her nose and felt a little weird. Since she broke up with Pansy and became estranged, Millicent and the others, who had been following Pansy, no longer interacted with her, but it was not tit-for-tat.
“Did Pansy instruct them to do this?” She looked at the robe in her hand and her expression suddenly changed. Not bothering to turn on the shower and take a shower, she threw the robe over her head and rushed out of the bathroom.
Pansy took her hand out of the pocket of Daphne’s robe with surprise, holding a familiar piece of parchment in her hand.
“Give it to me!” Daphne rushed over without thinking and grabbed one end of the parchment. Not to be outdone, Pansy tightened her grip on the other end of the parchment and refused to let go.
Daphne put her elbow neatly into Pansy’s ribs, causing her to cry out “ah” and let go of her hand in pain. Pansy glared at her hatefully and ran out of the dormitory with tears in her eyes without looking back.
Daphne looked at the parchment in her hand. This was the Marauder’s Map that Brian had given her. She rummaged quickly through her soaked robes, stuffed her wand into her pocket, and continued rummaging.
After she touched the inner pocket of her robe, her face suddenly turned pale. The badge Brian gave her to contact him in an emergency was missing!
“It’s Pansy!” Daphne rushed out with her wand.
She walked through the corridor of the dormitory and entered the common room. It was very quiet inside, and Astoria was looking up at her in surprise.
“What’s wrong, Daphne? Your hair is still wet…”
“Have you seen Pansy?” Daphne interrupted.
“She just escaped from the common room like she was being chased by a tigress.” Draco smiled lazily, “Why, you finally couldn’t help but want to kill her?”
Daphne didn’t have time to pay attention to Draco’s teasing, and ran out of the common room. After turning a few corners, she finally saw Pansy’s back.
“Stop!” Daphne shouted. Pansy looked back, smiled provocatively, but ran faster.
“Collapse!” Daphne’s spell hit Pansy’s back. Pansy tilted her body to avoid the spell.
Without hesitation, Daphne raised her wand and recited a barrier spell again. An invisible wall blocked Pansy’s face, causing her to bounce back and fall hard to the ground.
“Give me that badge!” Daphne said.
Pansy proudly waved the badge in her hand at her and threw it to the end of the corridor. The badge slid along the floor into the open utility room there.
“Petrify them all!” Daphne first recited a petrification spell to Pansy, then ran to the end of the corridor and looked at the badge in the utility room.
Looking at the dark utility room, Daphne stopped cautiously, raised her wand and was about to recite a flying spell on the badge.
A beam of red light rushed out from the darkness of the utility room, and Daphne jumped lightly toward the door, avoiding the spell.
At this time, a figure jumped out from the utility room, as fast as a gray shadow. He ignored the badge on the ground and attacked Daphne, the wand in his hand blooming with dazzling light.
“Armor for protection!” Daphne was startled by the figure, took a step back in a panic, and then hurriedly recited an armor spell to herself, blocking subsequent attacks.
Only then did she see the attacker. He was a very short man with a pointed nose like a mouse and watery eyes. He was holding a short stick in a hand that looked like a silver-white metal glove. wand.
“Collapse!” Daphne calmed down and attacked him directly without bothering to confirm who he was.
The little man jumped aside and looked at her with watery eyes in a panic. He waved the wand in his hand and blocked Daphne’s spells again and again.
Daphne realized that she was no match for this man. Seeing the fierce light gradually flashing in his eyes, she bit her lower lip and pulled out the necklace around her neck.
This was Brian’s Christmas gift to her this year. It was an alchemical product created by his research on the magic of house elves. Using it, she can use the elf’s Apparition ability three times to help her escape from places like Hogwarts where wizards are prohibited from Apparating.
The disadvantage is that the distance cannot be too far, and it can only appear to a few hundred meters away.
Daphne immediately activated the necklace, and the figure disappeared into the corridor with a “pop” sound, catching the little man off guard.
He held the wand in both hands, and his nose twitched as if he was sniffing the scent in the air. Finally, he gave up looking for Daphne and ran towards the badge in the utility room.
As he ran, his figure gradually shrank, and finally turned into a somewhat bald mouse, picking up the badge on the ground. He skillfully turned left and right in the utility room, and after making a “squeak” sound, he got into the mouse hole in the corner.
Daphne appeared outside Snape’s office, looked around warily, and then knocked on the office door.
No one responded, Daphne opened the door and saw an empty office.
She anxiously took out the Marauder’s Map and looked at it, but found no trace of Snape on it. She turned her gaze to the location of the battle and saw a dot showing Pansy Parkinson staying motionless in the corridor, while the dot reading “Peter Pettigrew” was moving away from there.
Daphne ran to her original position. She must know what the purpose of these people was. Pansy might be able to give her the answer.
When she returned to her original place, the badge in the utility room was gone. Daphne pursed her lips and picked up Pansy, who was lying stiffly on the ground. After hesitating for a while, she gritted her teeth and said, “Out of body!”
Next, she lifted the petrification spell and asked Pansy about tonight.
“I saw your map at the beginning of school this year.” Pansy said very obediently, “A few days ago, that person found me and asked me to find a way to steal your things and then lead you here… …”
“I keep trying, but you always carry those things with you.”
“Tonight, I asked Millicent and the others to dirty your clothes, and then found the badge and map from the robe you changed into… and then led you here according to the predetermined plan.”
“Who is that person? Why should you listen to him?” Daphne asked.
“I don’t know who he is, but I just know I should listen to him.” Pansy said confused.
Daphne nodded suddenly, understanding that Pansy must have been under the Imperius Curse.
She stood up and took a few steps, thinking about the badge anxiously. She couldn’t imagine if Brian’s enemies used this badge to lure him into a trap…
“No, I have to find a way to remind Brian.” She made up her mind.
