Rubik’s Cube of Heavens

Chapter 139: Owed

There were a few professors in the crowd who were attracted by the screams. After Slytherin's Draco Malfoy scolded them, they immediately frowned and wanted to say something.

But at this time, Filch ran from the back of the crowd and shouted, "What happened? What happened? Make way! This is my duty! Let me go!"

After shouting, Filch tried his best to squeeze through the crowd and finally stood in the middle of the crowd in two directions.

However, the next moment, he was stunned. He saw his favorite 'corpse' at a glance.

Just like Mrs. Norris, Filch was furious. Coven clearly saw the hair on the other person's skin stand up in an instant.

He stepped forward and grabbed Harry Potter's collar. Filch gnashed his teeth and growled, "You killed my Mrs. Norris!"

Harry Potter immediately tried to defend himself. "No, no! I didn't... Listen to me..."

Filch's rationality almost disappeared. He raised his other hand as if he was going to strangle Harry. At the same time, he howled in anger, "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill..."

"Argus!"

At the critical moment, Dumbledore's enlightened shout rang out.

This sound caused Filch's rationality to return as if he had been scalded. He instantly withdrew his hands and took a step back, leaving Harry.

On the other side of Slytherin's group, the crowd made way for them. Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Snape, and Professor Lockhart came up one after another.

The bloodletter on the wall was too obvious. Dumbledore saw it at a glance.

Without hesitation, Dumbledore immediately ordered, "Everyone, go back to the dormitory!"

When all the students quickly turned around, Dumbledore spoke again, "Except for the three of you."

Harry and the other two stopped nervously.

"And..." Dumbledore looked at the crowd. "Coven."

Coven turned around and paused.

Dumbledore tilted his head slightly and said to Coven, "Stay and help."

Coven nodded slightly and went against the crowd to the professors.

After the students left, Dumbledore looked at Filch and comforted him softly, "Calm down, Argus. She is not dead; she was just petrified."

At this time, Professor Lockhart, who had already gathered in front of the 'cat corpse', suddenly opened his mouth and said with a vexed look, "It's a pity that I am not present. I just happen to know the way to save her from the curse."

Hearing that, Dumbledore lowered his head slightly, his gaze passing over the glasses, and looked at the other party inexplicably.

Professor McGonagall and Snape did not show the slightest bit of trust. On the contrary, the former looked a little helpless, and the latter looked a little playful.

Seeing the expressions of the professors, Coven had an idea in his heart. Obviously, everyone knew Professor Lockhart's background.

In Coven's memory data, there was an introduction about Professor Lockhart. Although the other party was a good student of Ravenclaw, after graduation, Lockhart had changed.

He began to pursue fame.

Because he put all his energy into this pursuit, Lockhart began to neglect his own ability to practice.

At the end, other than a commonly used

Before inviting Lockhart to teach at Hogwarts, Dumbledore had already investigated him and naturally knew the other party's background.

It seems that Dumbledore has shared this matter with the other Directors...

Then again.

Dumbledore was not in the mood to pay attention to the pretentious Lockhart. He looked at Mrs. Norris again.

Then, Dumbledore said to Coven, "Child, help send her to the infirmary and then inform Professor Sprout."

"..."

Coven nodded, walked past Lockhart, and then raised his hands to Mrs. Norris.

"Be careful." Professor Lockhart did not forget to show his presence at all, and instructed Coven somewhat arrogantly, "Don't you dare to touch her."

Coven opened his hands and turned to look at Lockhart expressionlessly.

At the same time, Mrs. Norris, hanging upside down on the candlestick, suddenly fell down slowly. Finally, he was gently held in Coven's arms.

Seeing this, Professor Lockhart was very confused. He looked back at the other professors to find who was casting the spell.

Obviously, he was ignorant of Coven's wandless and silent casting.

After Coven hugged Mrs. Norris, he turned to Dumbledore and asked, "Mr. Headmaster, our Mandrake in Hogwarts hasn't matured yet, right?"

"Ah, that's right." Dumbledore responded, "The current batch is not mature yet."

"If I remember correctly..." Coven said, "I bought a mature 'Mandrake' on the third floor of my house."

Dumbledore was stunned and then said happily, "Well, you really helped us a lot. Go quickly."

Coven nodded to the professors and then turned to the infirmary.

Looking at Coven's figure that was getting farther and farther away, Dumbledore turned to look at Snape and said with some ridicule, "Isn't he very good? He knew how to save Mrs. Norris right away."

Snape wanted to say something, but his lips, which were usually slightly upturned, couldn't help but hook up at a higher angle.

At this time, the person who ruined the scenery appeared.

Professor Lockhart suddenly shouted, "Mandrake! Yes! I knew it! I gave my Mandrake to a fan of my family last week! Let her undo the petrification spell on her family!"

Dumbledore turned a deaf ear and turned to look at Harry and the other two.

There was a look of trust in his eyes, and he asked Harry Potter softly, "Harry, can you tell me what you found?"

"Maybe..." Snape continued, "They only appeared at the wrong place at the wrong time."

Just as Harry and the other two were surprised by Snape's protectiveness, Snape suddenly changed the topic. "But they are indeed suspicious. I don't remember seeing Mr. Potter at dinner."

Harry didn't know what he was thinking, but he actually concealed the real situation and made up lies to justify his innocence.

After listening to Harry's explanation, Snape couldn't help but turn to look at Dumbledore.

And Dumbledore, as a 'read mind master', stared at Harry for some reason...
