Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Chapter 117, Slytherin’s reaction



The moment Mesa pulled out his magic wand, all the students who gathered around him were stunned. Everyone looked at me and me with their eyes wide open.No one knows what to do next.

Although the relationship between the two parties has been relatively tense before, what about the most basic trust between people?Such a small action can cause so much damage!

When everyone was speechless and silent, Mesa silently put away her wand.He could tell that the little snakes had gathered around him for the attack that would happen tonight, rather than intending to siege him.At least not now.

Mesa put away her wand and walked through the crowd as if nothing had happened.As long as Mesa doesn't feel embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

The Slytherin students also realized at this time that the "confrontation" situation a few seconds ago was just a misunderstanding.Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, the questions that should be asked still need to be asked.

Seeing that Mesa was about to leave, someone in the crowd hurriedly asked: "Blake, was there another attack on the school tonight? Is the person who was attacked Wendina Adjani from our college?"

The sixth-grade girl Undina Adjani was missing, and Hagrid happened to be hugging someone when he returned to the castle. It was difficult for everyone not to speculate in this regard.

"I really want to deny your speculation and say that Adjani just hasn't come back yet." Mesa said slowly, "But unfortunately, Undina Adjani was indeed attacked by unknown people tonight."

Although everyone had already guessed that this would be the result, after hearing Mesa tell the truth, the crowd still screamed, and some girls even began to sob in low voices.

Following the Quidditch team last school year, a Slytherin student was once again murdered.

Perhaps it was a matter of indignity, or perhaps it was a feeling that the college had been provoked, and the crowd in the common room was furious for a while.

Some people asked about Adjani's situation, some people asked about the situation at the crime scene, and some people shouted that they wanted to find out the perpetrator and beat him up.This situation should be similar to that of the Ravenclaw students when Belinda was attacked.

"Quiet!" Mesa said, "Shut your mouths!"

Although he didn't know Galen's brain-destroying tricks, and he didn't shout at the top of his lungs, the students in the lounge still calmed down in a dignified manner.

Firstly, because they wanted to know more from Mesa and did not dare to offend him; secondly, because Mesa now had enough deterrence in the academy, his efforts were not in vain.

Just this afternoon, right in front of the eyes of the second-year students, Mesa lost to Professor Mikkelsen.Although he lost the competition between teachers and students, Mesa proved that the rumors were true and he indeed had the confidence to challenge all the students in the college.

"Hagrid and I discovered Adjani near the greenhouse. The professors are working hard to investigate the matter." Mesa continued, "Hagrid has also sent Adjani to the campus hospital. I believe she will return soon." Come among us.”

This time there was no more chatter. Several students stood up one by one and asked questions in an orderly manner.Mesa picked out what he could say and answered their questions as best he could.

"In addition, Professor Snape specifically told me one thing when I came back," Mesa said. "He said he didn't want to see you all running around like headless chickens. I think you should be able to understand what the professor meant. "

After the attack on Collins Belinda, the Ravenclaws walked out of the common room en masse and wandered around the castle in groups of three or five.

The mood and behavior of wanting to catch the perpetrator are understandable, but what the Little Eagles did was in vain.

If you can catch the murderer just by walking around the castle, then why do you need professors from the school or Aurors from the Ministry of Magic?If anything happens, wouldn't it be possible to stop in groups in the street and everything would be settled?

Snape wanted stability. He didn't want to see Slytherin students incited by one thing or a few words.The more "revenge-driven" the students are, the more complacent the hidden perpetrators become.

Fishing in troubled waters.First muddy the water in the pond so that the fish will be choked in the turbid water, and then take the opportunity to catch the fish, which saves worry and effort.Although Snape didn't say it, he agreed with Mikkelsen's idea in his heart.

At this time, someone stood up again, and a boy asked: "Did you and the gamekeeper discover Adjani together?"

"No." Mesa answered truthfully, "If you want to say that I attacked Adjani, or that Hagrid attacked her, that's up to you. Anyway, didn't you think so last year?"

As soon as this was said, the common room fell silent again.Some people frowned, not because they were angry at Mesa's words, but because they were worried that he would take this opportunity to make a bet again.

It was because they suspected Mesa was the murderer last year that they made the bet with Mesa, and they were slapped in the face by him in the end.One such embarrassing thing is enough, they don't want to score twice this school year.Not at all.

"That's not what I meant." The boy said, "Although there is a conflict between us, it is an internal matter within the college. Besides, you probably didn't know Adjani before."

It's so boring, these people are actually good at it, Mesa thought to himself.He said: "Although the professor does not let everyone get too involved in this matter, I think everyone should not act alone recently."

Mesa said as she walked back to the boys dormitory.Mesa would not tell these people what he thought. If it hadn't been like last time, they would have burned incense.

When Mesa returned to his single dormitory, he found that his dormitory had been occupied in advance, and the number of "occupying troops" was larger than Mesa himself expected.

Needless to say, Lilia, Gascoigne and Gemma Farley.Lilia sat on Mesa's bed, assuming the posture of the owner of the dormitory, while Gemma Farley and Gascoigne sat on the empty bed next to them.

What Mesa didn't expect was that Jenkins Benson and Atlee Gregg were also there.In addition, there was a girl sitting on another empty bed. The girl's eyes were red and swollen. She must have cried just now.

Gascoigne pointed at the girl and introduced: "Mesa, this is Lina Veronica. She is Adjani's roommate, and the two are also close friends."

Then Gascoigne introduced Mesa.It's completely unnecessary. Who in Slytherin doesn't know Mesa now?

The two people who met for the first time nodded to each other without greeting.The main thing is that Lena Veronica seems a little afraid of Mesa, as if Mesa will hit her if she says a wrong word.

"You have seen the situation outside. Everyone is very concerned about the attack on Adjani." Gascoigne continued, "In other words, everyone is very concerned about the true purpose of the perpetrator."

Except for Lilia and Lina, everyone else in the dormitory nodded, expressing their approval of Gascoigne's statement.I just don’t know whether they approve of the former or the latter.

Lena Veronica’s eyes became moist again.Judging from Belinda's case, Adjani, who was also attacked, should be fine and just need to stay in the school hospital for a few days.

But if Adjani encounters something like this, how can she not make people worried?

"Apart from that special symbol, the perpetrator left no clues," Mesa said. "It's like Adjani laid down on the symbol and gave herself a shot."

Mesa once again told how he discovered Adjani. This was the third time tonight.Repeated narration also made Mesa more and more doubtful.

After Mesa, Lina Veranica also talked about some basic information about Adjani and her whereabouts today.

"We were together all the time during the day, and we also talked about Belinda." Veronica said coyly, "Before dinner, she suddenly said she felt a little uncomfortable, so she went back to the common room alone. ”

"If I could have been with her at that time..." As she said that, Veronica started to cry again.

Veranika was blaming herself. If she had not let Adjani return to the lounge alone, tonight's attack might not have happened.

Lilia and Gemma Farley stood up one after another, and together they comforted the crying Veranica, leaving no opportunity for the men present and depriving them of the opportunity to walk upright.

Although Belinda and Adjani had different reasons for being alone, they were both attacked because they were acting alone.So, are lonely girls the perpetrators’ targets?

If there is another attack in the school next, and the victim is a lone girl... No matter what the perpetrator's ultimate goal is, Mesa despises him from the bottom of his heart.
