Chapter 39
Chapter 39 Toxins
When Dumbledore announced the beginning of the party, Professor Flitwick waved his magic wand, and immediately a gentle dance melody sounded in the auditorium, and the students poured into the dance floor and danced.
The long tables on both sides of the auditorium are filled with exquisite snacks and food, as well as drinks. Once the plates are empty, they will be filled immediately. After all, many students did not eat dinner in order to attend the evening banquet.
Ulysses brought an empty plate, inserted a bit of everything, and walked out of the hall door, ready to find a quiet place to have his own dinner.
He regretted dressing so ceremoniously, and there were so many people who came up with him, and he couldn’t help it.
The corridor outside the auditorium was very quiet. Ulysses was sitting by the railing. Tonight’s night was good, the moon was sparse, and every window of the castle was shining with orange light, which looked warm.
The dinner plate was given a floating spell and floated on his right hand. The spout of the azure teapot was slightly slanted, and steaming black tea was poured into a cup of the same color, and a cup was slowly poured.
Ulysses held the teacup and took a sip.
Footsteps came from behind, stopped beside Ulysses, and then Gerrard’s voice:
“Why are you hiding here alone?”
“Quiet.”
Ulysses ate a piece of caramel cake, looked at the clown mask on Gerrard’s face, and raised his eyebrows:
“Is the old problem committed again?”
Gerald sat down, sighed, and said in annoyance:
“Talking to those girls, I always feel that my hands and feet are out of my control, and I don’t know what to say…”
Ulysses shrugged, expressing his helplessness:
“I’m not good at this, I don’t have such troubles. Anderson can be your life mentor… Maybe he has already been, but the effect is not good…”
“I feel he is fooling me.”
Gerrard was talking a little bit gritted his teeth, “The books he gave me, “How to Attract Girls’ Attention,” “14 Precautions for Relationships”, etc., are of no use…”
Ulysses frowned and asked inexplicably:
“You are also from the Rozier family anyway, so the pure-blood family won’t even be able to deal with girls, right?”
Gerrard’s expression was dull, and he shook his head happily, and said with a sigh:
“It’s a bit complicated… I’ll tell you next time.”
Seems to be evoked by something sad, Gerrard suddenly became a little disappointed, and returned to the auditorium after bidding farewell to Ulysses.
Ulysses glanced at his back, guessing in his heart that this roommate was also a person with a story, then put away the dinner plate and teacup, and jumped off the railing.
Leaving the corridor, Ulysses wandered in the castle. The moonlight shone on the ground, like a layer of tulle. The people in the portrait on the wall have all gone to the party. The corridor is very quiet, and the sound of the evening wind blowing over the tower can be clearly heard.
Ulysses enjoys this tranquility, and this time will always make his brain calm down and think about things that have no clue.
The Abyss Organization has always been a thorn in Ulysses’ heart, and he has also seen the swirl pattern in the Lestrange family mansion in France.
Ulysses didn’t know what role the family played in it, and he couldn’t go back to France for the time being and couldn’t verify it.
And the person who came to the secret room first, Ulysses had no idea yet. Ulysses had a headache at the thought of such a person with unknown purpose hiding in the shadows.
Ulysses walked aimlessly, his steps suddenly stopped and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Under the shining of the moonlight, you can vaguely see a thin figure lying in the front corner.
Ulysses walked quickly, shaking the wand in his hand, and the fluorescent spell shined brightly, illuminating the entire corridor in an instant.
Tracy Shafik fell to the ground, her face pale green, with purple-black blood on the corners of her mouth.
Ulysses reached out and probed. After confirming that he was still breathing, he relaxed a little and began to check her condition.
Tracy was poisoned at first glance, and Ulysses happened to study poison, and soon understood that this was the poison of the eight-eyed spider.
His face sank, he held Tracy’s body with a floating spell, gently picked her up, and ran towards the auditorium.
It is not difficult to find out the toxin, but he does not have the corresponding antidote. If you want to save Tracy, you can only rely on Professor Snape.
As Ulysses ran wildly, he suddenly heard the same rapid footsteps.
Turning a right angle, Ulysses suddenly saw that the Gryffindor trio was also racing.
The four people exchanged their eyes in surprise, all expressing the same meaning:
“Such a coincidence?”
However, saving lives was important, and Ulysses kept walking past them. But seeing the trio react in such a hurry, Ulysses also understood what was going on.
The basilisk has been hunted in the castle.
Before reaching the entrance of the auditorium, he happened to see Professor Snape, dressed in a bat, walking out of it with a gloomy expression. Ulysses breathed a sigh of relief, just to avoid the troublesome thing to explain after entering, and stopped Professor Snape:
“Professor, Shafik Miss seems to have been poisoned by an eight-eyed giant spider—”
Professor Snape’s unhappy face was even more ugly. He looked at Tracy’s face for a while, without hesitation, strode towards his office.
“follow me.”
Ulysses followed him. Entering the office, Professor Snape quickly and skillfully mixed the medicaments in several crystal bottles in an exquisite proportion, stirred them evenly and fed them into Tracey’s mouth.
The medicine worked quickly, and the green naked eyes on Tracy’s face visibly faded, and a few mouthfuls of red blood were vomited. Her face was pale as paper, but she was already awake.
“Excuse me, professor.”
Tracey’s breath was weak, and she held on with a smile, “Also, thank you, Ulysses.”
“Miss Shafik, can you explain where you came into contact with the toxin of the eight-eyed giant spider.”
Professor Snape’s sharp eyes fell on Tracy, as if to see through her, “Such venom is enough to kill a mammoth. There is not a single eight-eyed giant spider in Hogwarts castle, even a cub. If you are not proactive and reckless to find the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider, then someone wants to harm you. Is there any clue about the poisoner?”
Tracey shook her head in confusion, a haze appeared on her face:
“I don’t know, Professor. I didn’t have the idea of looking for the eight-eyed giant spider. Just now I drank a glass of pumpkin juice in the auditorium, and suddenly remembered that something was not done, but I lost consciousness when I walked halfway…”
Professor Snape was silent for a while, and was about to ask again, only to find that a silver Phoenix had flown into his office.
“Let’s take a trip to the third-floor corridor, Severus. Something has happened.”
Phoenix spoke, and Dumbledore’s old voice came.
