Rossi originally thought that searching for Percy in the Forbidden Forest would be a very time-consuming task, but in fact, as soon as the group of four approached the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore and McGonagall seemed to notice something unusual.
"There's an aura of dark magic floating over there."
While Dumbledore, who looked solemn and solemn, took the lead in walking quickly to the northwest, McGonagall explained to Rossi and the two.
A scent of dark magic?
Rossi, who was following behind, activated his insight vision and watched for a long time before finally noticing something strange.
It's amazing, I looked carefully for a long time before I found out the clues, but they discovered it instantly. Should I be said to be the principal and deputy principal of Hogwarts?
Muttering in her mind, Rosie pulled Grace and followed quickly.
At this moment, the sound of some kind of creature running at great speed suddenly came from the jungle with low trees in the distance.
Hearing the noise, Rossi immediately drew out his wand and became alert.
The next second, several huge spiders with thick black hair all over their bodies, dragging a giant cocoon made of spider silk, rushed out of the woods in a panic and rushed towards this side quickly.
Acromantula? Do they look like they're running away?
Doubtful thoughts flashed through his mind. Rossi was about to use a defensive spell to resist the impact of the spiders, when they saw their feet weakened and their bodies slid forward a few meters with inertia. They were trembling and did not dare to raise their heads.
Seeing such a situation, Rossi was stunned for a moment, but then he understood the situation: it was Grace's existence that made them so scared.
"Dumbledore, save Hagrid!" the leader of the giant spider, whose eyes were all covered with white haze, said tremblingly.
"Aragog, what happened to Hagrid?"
Dumbledore, who obviously knew this spider, asked, then raised his hand and nodded at the giant cocoon dragged by the spiders.
In an instant, the white spider silk burst, revealing the unconscious Hagrid inside.
"He was under the spell of a student covered in green light. If we hadn't happened to be nearby, he would have been killed by that student."
Aragog said tremblingly, "That guy is killing a lot of people right now. It seems that every time he kills a creature, the green light on his body becomes stronger."
Covered in green light? Voldemort possessed by a Horcrux?
The image it described made Rosie instantly understand what it was.
Is the Horcrux Diary indeed in Percy's hands? What Lucius said before...
Hmm...a mixture of truth and falsehood? Deliberately confusing time?
But what's the reason for doing that?
As his thoughts flowed, Dumbledore had already walked to Hagrid to check on him.
"Fortunately, he just lost consciousness temporarily. Severus's invigorating potion can wake him up."
As he said that, he turned to look at McGonagall, "Minerva, let us handle it over there. You can take Hagrid back."
After hearing Dumbledore's instructions, McGonagall didn't talk nonsense. She just said "be careful" and then took the unconscious Hagrid back to Hogwarts Castle.
"Aragog, are those green lights intertwined to look like Tom Riddle?" Rossi stepped forward and asked.
Realizing that she was approaching with Grace, Aragog shuddered again: "I don't know, I have been blind for a long time. The image of the student was told to me by my children. They don't know Tom. Riddle.”
"Do you suspect Percy is possessed by Tom's Horcrux?"
Dumbledore asked, and when Rossi nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, "It seems we have to speed up a bit!"
…
Hogwarts, school infirmary.
Harry yelled when he woke up and sat up suddenly.
Thinking back in panic and confusion what happened before he was petrified, he slowly looked around.
Hermione was sitting on the hospital bed on the right, stroking her chest with a look of shock on her face. She seemed to be frightened by what she had seen before.
Beside her stood Claire, who seemed to be comforting her.
On the other side, Snape, who turned his head because of Harry's cry, looked at him indifferently, then turned his eyes back to the hospital bed and continued to treat Ron with the potion in his hand.
"Harry, how are you feeling? Are you okay?" Claire looked up at Harry and walked towards him with concern.
Harry couldn't help but be surprised when he noticed Claire. He remembered that when Grace turned into a snake, she pulled out her wand and cast a spell on Rosie.
"do not come!"
Harry held his hands on the bed and took two steps back, trying to stay away from Claire.
"Harry, Professor Dumbledore said that I was controlled by the Imperius Curse before."
Seeing Harry being so nervous, Claire stopped and apologized sadly, "I'm sorry, I know I must have done something bad, I'm sorry!"
Hearing her words, Harry asked doubtfully: "The Imperius Curse?"
"I saw this spell in an extracurricular book."
Hermione took over the topic, "It is one of the three unforgivable curses. The person who is cursed will be completely under the control of the caster, and his mind will go blank."
After a pause, she turned her gaze to Claire again: "Claire, there's no need to apologize, that's not your fault."
After thinking for a few seconds, Harry understood what the Imperius Curse was and spoke again: "Where is Professor Rossi? And... where is Assistant Professor Grace, how are they doing?"
"They're fine, they're going out with Professor Dumbledore now." Hermione, who had inquired about this information from Claire not long ago, replied.
"It's okay."
After taking a long breath, Harry and Hermione looked at each other with their green eyes, neither of them bothered about Glas turning into a basilisk.
At this moment, Ron suddenly yelled, struggled to sit up from the bed, and murmured: "G, Assistant Grace..."
"Ron! You're awake!" Harry and Hermione shouted at the same time, stopping him from continuing.
After hearing what the two said, Ron was startled for a moment, and then looked at Harry and Harry.
When their eyes met, the three of them reached a tacit consensus.
"What did you just want to say? Mr. Weasley."
Snape looked at Ron with a strange expression, "What's wrong with Assistant Grace?"
"No, it's nothing."
Ron hesitated and said, "I want to say, I want to say..."
"I'm sorry, I want to take Assistant Grace's suitcase. I want to see what monsters are inside."
Hermione stood on the ground, "Because of me, I have read all the seventh grade textbooks and know those monsters very well.
Before losing consciousness, we were discussing this with Professor Rossi and the others, so that's why Ron shouted like that when he woke up. "
Hearing this, Snape smiled: "Really? Then how did you get petrified?"
"Well……"
Seeing that Hermione was speechless, Harry immediately answered: "We don't know, we were petrified in an instant. Maybe you can ask Professor Rossi, she must know what happened."
The moment he finished speaking, Snape couldn't help but sneer:
"Mr. Potter, do you think you can hide what happened to you? Hehe, because you tried to lie to the professor, 50 points will be deducted from Gryffindor!"
Okay, you can go back to the dormitory to rest now! "
After that, he turned around and walked out.
He seemed to be happy because of something, and his walking pace became much brisker.
