"He succeeded." Harry murmured.

"Potter, come with me to the hospital wing, you need to get some sleep." Professor McGonagall said.

"No, wait, Professor McGonagall. I know what Voldemort did, what he has been planning all this time! It's a wand, a handy wand."

Professor McGonagall stared at him, her lips tightly pursed, and after a long time she said: "If you mean the 'Old Wand', Professor Happ has already dispelled the rumor..."

"It's not the one in the professor's hand." Harry said loudly: "It's too late, he got a wand from under a snakewood, it looks very extraordinary, like a legendary wand..." His voice slowed down, his mind worked frantically: "It's a snakewood wand! He got Salazar Slytherin's snakewood wand."

Several people took a breath.

"The one ranked seventh among the top ten wands?" Ron asked.

"What? Oh." Harry said blankly, he was still immersed in his own thoughts: "Yes, this is Voldemort's purpose, he doesn't care about the old wand... No, of course he wants it, but it is too difficult to get it from Professor Happ, and he is not sure whether it is true or false... So he deliberately provokes disputes and makes trouble for the professor, in order to cover up his investigation of other wands..."

Snape looked at Harry with a complicated look.

"But how did he know the location of the snakewood wand?" Professor McGonagall asked dryly.

"He has been pursuing similar rumors, and many people have disappeared." Sirius said: "For example, the owner of Florin Ice Cream Shop, we suspect that he was arrested because of this. He..." "

He is a descendant of Dexter Fosco, the former headmaster of Hogwarts, and there is a legend that his ancestors mastered a powerful wand." Hermione said sharply, and then looked at Sirius cautiously, "I only found out recently, right?"

Sirius smiled at her.

"It all matches," Harry pounded his fist on his palm, "He worked so hard and finally got the wand that suits him best."

"Where did the Dark Lord go?" Snape asked suddenly.

"I don't know," Harry shook his head, "I only saw a group of buildings on a hill, which looked a bit like Hogwarts... Oh, there are two huge statues on both sides of the main entrance."

"On the top of the hill, similar to Hogwarts, with two statues at the door..." Hermione racked her brains to recall where she had heard this statement.

"Yes, the two statues are a man and a woman, but I really didn't pay attention. No, it should be that Voldemort doesn't care..." Harry looked at Hermione expectantly, hoping to get an answer immediately. A few seconds later

"Ilvermorny!"

"Ilvermorny."

Hermione and Neville said at the same time.

Everyone looked at Neville, who scratched his head. "Byers told me a lot about his school, including the tree you mentioned. As you know, I'm very interested in the Herbology class, so I asked a few more questions... But what I heard was different. Byers told me that the two founders of the school planted an unknown snake tree outside the school that could not be cut down or destroyed. Later, people found that the leaves of this tree have powerful medical effects."

"I'll notify Dumbledore immediately." Professor McGonagall said decisively. She drew out her wand, and a silver Patronus flew out from the tip of the wand, flew towards the outside of the school, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Harry was slightly relieved.

"Then, Potter," Professor McGonagall looked at Harry.

"I don't need to go to the school hospital," Harry said hurriedly, "I'm fine, and similar situations have happened before... Just take a rest, or get some fresh air." He made an excuse for himself.

Sirius cleared his throat, "Well, I'll take him out for a walk, it's nearby."

"Okay, then, I'll tell Dumbledore everything exactly as it happened." Professor McGonagall said reluctantly, and she left in a hurry.

The others were also about to leave, when they suddenly realized that there was another person at the scene who was not Snape. His presence was too strong. Just standing there, he could not help but emit cold air, which scared away the other students. It was another person hiding behind Snape.

"Draco Malfoy!? Why are you here?" Ron almost dropped his jaw.

Harry and Hermione's breathing stopped. Malfoy knew! He knew that I (Harry) could see Voldemort's thoughts! He knew, Lucius Malfoy knew, then what about Voldemort...

The remaining five people figured it out at the same time. After an uneasy silence.

Sirius silently pulled out his wand, and Snape said slowly: "Leave him to me, Black"

"Get out of here if you don't want to get hurt. I'm not kidding." Sirius said.

"Really?" Snape reached into his pocket, where his wand was, and said expressionlessly: "You are still so impulsive and arrogant, and you don't consider the consequences at all."

"I know what I'm doing." Sirius said indifferently.

Draco was frightened by his eyes and took a step back, his face pale.

Snape stared at Sirius and whispered, "Oh? You know what you are doing... just like in school, in the Shrieking Shack?"

The muscles on Sirius' face suddenly trembled with excitement. He knew what Snape was talking about. They were sworn enemies in school. If there was a chance to get each other expelled, they would never hesitate. Snape spent a lot of time tracking him and James, and even once got close to the truth that Remus was a werewolf. Tired of being chased, Sirius impulsively told him the place where Remus transformed. If James hadn't pulled Snape out of the Shrieking Shack after finding out, no one knew what would have happened.

It is possible that Snape successfully escaped with the secret, and then spread it everywhere to force Remus to drop out of school; it is also possible that Snape was directly torn to pieces by the werewolves who smelled the human scent...

Sirius hesitated, but he looked at Harry and his expression became firm.

He had made a mistake once in dealing with the issue of Peter Pettigrew, and he couldn't leave any hidden dangers.

"It only takes one Oblivion Charm... Snape, Harry... I can't take the risk," he whispered through his teeth, his eyes becoming increasingly frantic.

"It's best to wait until Dumbledore comes back before making a decision," Snape clutched his wand in his pocket tightly, "If our headmaster knew you attacked a student..."

"I don't care!" Sirius said wildly, his wand emitting several hot sparks.

Snape immediately drew out his wand, and the two pointed at each other, just like they had done in the Shrieking Shack more than a year ago.

"But I care, Sirius," said Harry.

Sirius immediately turned his head to look at him. Harry looked at him firmly. After a while, Sirius took the initiative to avoid his eyes.

James...

"I won't tell anyone." Draco said suddenly.

Everyone looked at him.

Draco's face became paler, and a few beads of sweat oozed out of the tip of his slender nose.

"You're lying!" Ron said, "If I let you go like this, you'll tell on him right away! He has a criminal record, remember? Buckbeak..."

Draco glared at him fiercely, and said to Harry: "Potter, I have something to tell you, it's very important...only you can know it." He added.

Harry looked back at him, Draco's expression was terrified and his whole body was trembling.

"Okay." He said.

"Harry?"

"Harry!"

"It doesn't matter, let's listen to what he says first." Harry said, he looked deeply at Draco: "Malfoy, even if you don't do this, I won't let Sirius cast the Oblivion Charm on you, not because I believe in you, I saw what happened that night with my own eyes... I just don't want Sirius to leave school because of you, because... it's not worth it." A

faint blush appeared on Draco's pale face, which was almost pointing at his nose and saying, I know your father is a Death Eater, so I don't believe you can keep a secret at all.

"Let's go too," Ron said, "Hermione and Neville."

Draco turned and glared at him.

"We'll stand far away and won't eavesdrop." Ron turned his head and muttered softly, "Who knows if you will take the opportunity to cast a curse on Harry."

Draco responded with a mocking sneer: "Okay."

They walked down the steps, Ron, Hermione and Neville followed them far behind, Harry turned around and could even see Hermione holding her arms, Ron and Neville talking to something, pointing fingers. Farther away, Sirius and Snape stood on the stone steps, neither of them looking at each other.

They walked a long way, leaving the greenhouse and Hagrid's hut behind, and were about to reach the main entrance of Hogwarts. The wild boar's wings on the cast iron gate were looming. Harry finally lost his patience. He felt that it was a mistake to be here.

"How long are you going to hesitate?" Harry said.

Draco finally stopped. He glanced at the three people who were following them in the distance to make sure they wouldn't hear what he was going to say next. He moved his lips slightly and said inaudibly: "I support Professor Happ."

"What?"

"I said, between that man and Professor Happ, I support Professor Happ." Draco tried his best to make his tone calm, but when he saw Potter's extremely surprised face, as if he was talking about a fairy tale, he suddenly became so angry that he wanted to punch him.

But he didn't dare to do so. There were three followers following behind them.

"Don't think I believe everything you say, Malfoy." Harry said.

"Okay, I can tell you a secret. You swear not to tell anyone." Draco said reluctantly, feeling very uncomfortable.

Harry blinked, "Okay, I swear."

"You answered too quickly! You have no sincerity at all." Draco said angrily.

"I don't have time to waste." Harry counterattacked, "You can choose to believe it or not, at least my credibility is much better than yours."

Draco's gray eyes were full of disgust. He weighed Harry. It was the first time he encountered such a situation. He had to force himself to think about a question: Is it worth it to give the secret to Harry Potter? Draco took

a deep breath, "Okay, remember what happened in the second year, the Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk?"

"Of course I know." Harry said with a strange look on his face. Malfoy wouldn't want to say that he knew that he and Ron used Polyjuice Potion to trick him, right? That would indeed bring them trouble. They broke many school rules. Hermione even sneaked into Snape's private storage room and took away the horn of the bicorn and the skin of the African water snake.

"That diary, I once had it."

"What?" Harry was stunned. It was not because he already knew what Draco said, but because Dobby told him. He was puzzled as to why Draco Malfoy told him these things. Shouldn't he keep silent about it?

Draco's expression also became strange.

"I followed you to an abandoned girls' bathroom and was later discovered... When I returned to investigate, you were gone. I only picked up a diary from the ground..." "

Then what?" Harry asked. He had discussed these things with Ron and Hermione.

"Something happened in the middle..." Draco said vaguely, "Then I gave it to Professor Happ, and Professor Happ destroyed it."

"You gave it to the professor personally?"

"Yes, I asked him to keep it a secret for me. I can't have anything to do with this matter."

Harry was stunned. He always thought that the professor had discovered something unusual and confiscated the diary (Horcrux) from Malfoy. They also laughed at Lucius Malfoy for getting himself into trouble and almost harming his son... But the truth is that Draco Malfoy personally handed the diary (Horcrux) to Professor Happ, which led to the destruction of the first Horcrux.

This is really ridiculous.

He felt dizzy, the scene around him blurred, and his consciousness kept falling. His scar began to hurt again.
