Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 468 Crazy! All crazy! (4K8
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! What the hell is going on here?"

Snape walked into the restaurant with several Slytherin students.

He rushed here after receiving a tip-off from Slytherin students. Under normal circumstances, let alone yelling, these students would happily tell him everything that happened if he just stood here.

But the situation seemed a little different today, because no one in the cafeteria paid any attention to him. Everyone was crowded in the lobby, looking up at the sign.

Snape suppressed his anger and prepared to capture a few students to interrogate them.

But before he could do anything, screams broke out from the crowd in the hallway!
"Ten thousand gold Galleons! Merlin's beard! I read that right! It is indeed a full ten thousand gold Galleons!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Everyone, act fast! This is a full 10,000 gold Galleons!"

"Damn it, I told you long ago that Senior Mike can't be an evil dark wizard. I will definitely catch that damn assassin and avenge Senior Mike!"

A Gryffindor boy who had just scolded Mike said this as he walked out of the restaurant.

Normally such shameless remarks should be despised, but no one is doing so now because everyone is in shock!

This is shocking news!
Mike offered a huge reward of 10,000 gold galleons for the assassin!
For a moment, the crowd in the lobby became agitated, and many people gathered in twos and threes and walked out of the restaurant. No matter how slim the hope was, most people still wanted to give it a try. After all, the money Mike gave was too much!
Snape looked at the students passing by him in confusion. Each of them had a fanatical expression and hurried steps, as if they were rushing to a banquet!
Out of curiosity, he also squeezed in front of the sign, and it was not until he saw the content on the sign clearly that he understood.

This was indeed a feast, a feast and carnival caused by the huge sum of 10,000 gold galleons!
But then Snape reacted immediately. He walked forward with a dark face and tore the parchment on the notice board into pieces!

……

In just one afternoon, the news that Mike had issued a bounty spread throughout Hogwarts. Even if Snape destroyed the bounty immediately, it would be of no avail. The 10,000 gold Galleons made this the most explosive news in Hogwarts this year!
In the Gryffindor common room, countless people were crowding at the door of a boys' dormitory.

But the strange thing is that not all these people are Gryffindor students, there are students from the four major colleges.

The reason they came here was very simple, because the batter who hit the Quaffle lived in this dormitory.

As soon as the bounty was announced, he became the most suspicious person. Countless people flocked to the scene just to catch him and send him to Mike to claim the reward. Many people even resorted to force!

Fortunately, the seventh-grade batsman still had some real skills. He escaped to Mag's office under the pursuit of the crowd, and was finally sent back to his dormitory. In order to protect him, Mag even added a protective spell to his dormitory door! Otherwise, those people outside might have broken in long ago!
However, this still couldn't stop everyone from gathering in front of his dormitory door, because these people claimed that they only came to him to understand the situation. Hogwarts had no school rules that did not allow students to visit the college lounge, and Professor McGonagall was powerless in this case as long as it did not violate the school rules!

Thus, a rare sight that is rarely seen in a century appeared in the Gryffindor common room!

“This is just crazy!”

Harry murmured as he looked at the crowd gathered at the dormitory door.

"Who said it wasn't true!" Ron looked up at the sky and said with a silly smile, "This is simply crazy! Mike actually took out 10,000 gold galleons to offer a reward!"

Harry glared at Ron in dissatisfaction and said:

"I'm saying these people are crazy!"

"That's not surprising! This is 10,000 gold Galleons!" Ron said as if he suddenly remembered something and said to Harry, "By the way, did the beater named Alan say anything to you afterwards?"

"Of course! He said he didn't know what happened! The Quaffle changed its direction midway!"

"Tsk tsk, I guess he must be hiding something! Harry, you must go talk to him again. You are the Quidditch captain, he will definitely agree to see you!"

"That's impossible! Just stop making trouble, Ron!"

"Okay then," Ron nodded dejectedly, then turned to look at Hermione, "By the way, Hermione! I remember you were next to Mike at the time, right? Can you tell me about what happened?"

Hermione, who had been keeping her head down, finally raised her head after hearing this. Her eyes were red at this moment and she looked as if she had just cried.

She glared at Ron with disgust and said bitterly:
"Ron, could you please stop being so disgusting!"

Ron looked embarrassed and explained hastily:
"I'm not greedy for the 10,000 gold galleons... Well, the 10,000 gold galleons are indeed very attractive, but I want to help Mike more. After all, he is our good friend, isn't he?"

Hermione shook her head and continued to look down.

As Ron's old friend, she didn't believe a word of what Ron said before.

In fact, Hermione's mood is now extremely bad. As the person closest to Mike at the time, she is the one who knows best how dangerous the situation is.

However, afterwards she felt a deep sense of guilt in her heart, because she believed that if she had not been there, Mike would not have had to take the Quaffle head-on!
You know, Mike has a house-elf!
Thinking of this, Hermione's eyes became moist again. She really wanted to see Mike, but Madam Pomfrey refused all visits!
At this moment, Harry nodded and said:

"Ron is right, Mike is our friend, we must help him!"

"Ha! You're right!" Ron jumped up excitedly, "Then what are we waiting for! Let's get going!"

Ron stood up and prepared to go find the beater named Alan, but he had just stood up when Harry pulled him back!

"Are you crazy? Going to look for Alan at this time! Those people at the door will go crazy!" Harry lowered his voice and said, "Let's go after they leave in the evening!"

"Okay then...but where else can we investigate besides Alan's place?"

"Let's go to the warehouse and the Quidditch field first. If there really is something wrong with the Quaffle, there must be evidence left behind!" Harry said, looking at Hermione again, "Hermione... forget it, you should have a good rest first, you look terrible!"

Harry and Ron stood up and prepared to leave the common room, but before they had walked far, Hermione, who had been sobbing with her head down, stood up and said firmly:
"I am coming too!"

……

An hour later, Harry and the other two finally realized how naive their previous thoughts were.

Now the whole Hogwarts has gone crazy. The warehouse that was used to store old brooms and various Quidditch balls has been visited by countless people. Not to mention the test balls at that time, even those tattered old-fashioned Nimbus brooms have been sold out.

When Harry and the others arrived at the warehouse, Mrs. Hooch was jumping up and down in anger in the empty warehouse!
Because she had no way to deal with those students, there were just too many of them. The Quidditch field was also overcrowded at this time, with countless students gathering on the field and in the stands, searching inch by inch.

Seeing this, Hermione closed her eyes in pain. In this situation, let alone whether there was any evidence, even if there was, it would have been accidentally destroyed by these people.

"Merlin's beard, don't these people have to go to class?"

Ron said as he looked at the people on the court with a confused look on his face.

But Harry did not respond to him. Instead, he shook his head and returned to the castle. He planned to search for information elsewhere. Perhaps asking these professors would yield unexpected results.

But when they actually returned to the castle to find Professor McGonagall, they discovered that something was not right.

Professor McGonagall's face had become almost as black as coal, and the muscles on her face were twitching constantly due to anger, because now was the time for the seventh grade students to have the Transfiguration class, but at this moment the classroom in front of her was empty.

This is simply a shame!
Her students, Magg, actually skipped classes en masse! This had never happened before!

Harry and the other two looked at Professor McGonagall, who was shaking with anger in the Transfiguration classroom, and quietly retreated to the corridor.

They all agreed that now was not the time to mess with her.

"Those people are crazy. How dare they skip Professor McGonagall's class!"

Hermione said in a low voice.

"I think this is understandable," Ron waved his hand and said, "You know, it's a full 10,000 gold Galleons! It's totally worth losing points or being put in solitary confinement for this money! To be honest, if I had so much money, I might just drop out of school and go abroad. You know, the country of Ying is not peaceful right now, you know, it's because of that man who can't even be named!"

Harry and Hermione shook their heads helplessly and continued on their journey.

As they visited more and more professors, their surprise grew greater and greater.

Because almost all the professors were absent from class!

This was the case with Professor Slughorn's Potions class, and the same was true for Professor Sprout's Herbology class. Snape was teaching a few Slytherin students with a gloomy face (the students from other colleges had all run away). As for Professor Flitwick, he simply disappeared. A Ravenclaw student told Harry that their head of house, Flitwick, had given them leave directly, and he himself was in the infirmary with Mike.

After finding out this far, Harry and the other two were no longer in the mood to talk, but even more surprising things were yet to come.

Because they accidentally discovered that professors of some niche courses were also looking for the assassin!

For example, the female professor who teaches ancient magic runes is now scanning the entire Quidditch field with a detection spell, trying to find some evidence.

Not only her, other professors like the astronomy professor and the Muggle Studies professor also took action and began to look for the assassin in their own way.

And the most magical thing is that Trelawney, the old charlatan and well-known liar who was once hated by all students, has now become the most popular professor in all of Hogwarts!

Countless students crowded into her little attic, asking her about her well-being, helping her clean the attic, and even paying for her to buy banned strong liquor. The only purpose of their doing so was to hope that Trelawney could predict the identity of the assassin.

Looking at Trelawney, who was surrounded by people and acted arrogantly, ordering students to do this and that, Hermione frowned in disgust.

She felt that the people surrounding Trelawney were extremely stupid. If this big liar Trelawney could really predict the identity of the assassin, she should have caught the assassin and claimed the reward long ago. Why would she continue to hang around here?
Harry and the other two returned to the Gryffindor common room helplessly. Now almost everyone had gone crazy because of the 10,000 gold Galleons. In this situation, they could not find any clues at all.

'I'll have to ask Alan later.'

Harry thought so as he looked at the door of the boys' dormitory which was still crowded.

At the same time, the Room of Requirement was also very lively.

The twelve students who were tied up were now being dropped into the air, and around them were dozens of mutual aid association members in black robes.

These people were actually awake, but they didn't dare to resist at all, because if they made the slightest movement, the ferocious black man next to them would mercilessly use the tickling spell on them!

It was extremely painful to feel itchy all over but not be able to scratch, which made the twelve people present very well behaved.

At this time, Zhou Hong was not idle either. He was questioning the twelve people one by one. At the same time, he also used his abilities. He could detect when these people were lying.

"Zhou Hong, are you ready? I don't have much time left. If we delay any longer, Dumbledore will find us."

Hearing Dumbledore's name, several of the people hanging upside down instinctively raised their heads. This behavior obviously caused Franklin's dissatisfaction, and he rewarded each of those people with a tickling curse.

"If all else fails, use truth serum. We don't lack that stuff, you know."

As he spoke, Franklin placed a large bottle of transparent liquid on the table, which made the twelve people tremble. If the truth serum was not used properly, it could turn people into mentally retarded!
"It's over! There's nothing wrong with these people, let them go!"

Zhou Hong clapped his hands and said.

His expression looked a little unhappy. Part of this was due to overuse of his abilities, but the most important thing was that the reason why these twelve people had murderous intentions towards Mike was really weird!
One of the most bizarre guys actually wanted to kill Mike because he was jealous of his handsomeness. This is simply a mental illness!

Franklin waved his hand when he heard this, and someone immediately came forward to put the twelve people down and took them to the long table at the back, where they would sign an agreement, a confidentiality agreement.

"In that case, let's continue the investigation tomorrow. At least we should conduct a preliminary screening of all the students in Hogwarts." Franklin glanced at the twelve people who were being forced to sign and said, "We must speed up the process. Even if there is a confidentiality agreement, Dumbledore will still find ways to cause trouble for us!"

"I know this very well!" Zhou Hong rubbed his brow. He wanted to cry when he thought about having to work overtime tomorrow. "But what we do is likely to be in vain. After all, that kind of large-scale investigation can be easily defended by brain occlusion. So I suggest that you do some targeted investigations."

“Is it targeted?”

Hearing this, Franklin fell into deep thought. He looked around and finally his eyes fell on the twelve people again.

Most of them were wearing Slytherin green ties!
