Chapter 468 Crazy! All crazy! (4K8

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! What on earth happened here?"

Snape walked into the dining hall with several Slytherin students.

He came here after receiving a tip-off from a Slytherin student. Normally, let alone yelling, these students would tell him everything they had just stood there.

But today's situation seemed a little different, because no one in the dining hall paid any attention to him. Everyone was crowded in the lobby and looked up at the notice board.

Snape suppressed his anger and prepared to grab a few students to ask.

But before he could do anything, a scream broke out from the crowd in the lobby!

"Ten thousand gold Galleons! Merlin's beard! I read that right! It's a full ten thousand gold Galleons!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Everyone, act quickly! This is a full ten thousand gold Galleons!"

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

A Gryffindor boy who had just scolded Mike said this while walking out of the restaurant.

Normally, such a shameless statement should be despised, but now no one does it at all, because everyone is in shock!

This is shocking news!

Mike has put up 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. They all had fanatical expressions and hurried steps, as if they were rushing to a feast!

Out of curiosity, he also squeezed in front of the notice board, and it was not until he saw the content on the notice board that he understood.

This was indeed a feast, a feast carnival caused by a huge sum of 10,000 gold galleons!

But then Snape reacted, his face darkened as he stepped forward 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 useless. The 10,000 gold galleons made this news the most explosive news in Hogwarts this year!

In the Gryffindor common room, countless people were crowded at the door of a boys' dormitory.

But strangely, these people were not all Gryffindor students, there were students from the four major colleges.

The reason they came here was very simple, because the batsman 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 him just to catch him and send him to Mike to claim the reward. Many people even used force!

Fortunately, this seventh-year batsman still had some real skills. He escaped to McGonagall's office under the pursuit of everyone, and was finally sent back to his dormitory. In order to protect him, McGonagall even added a protective spell to his dormitory door! Otherwise, these people outside might have broken in long ago!

However, this still couldn't stop everyone from gathering in front of his dormitory, because these people claimed that they were just looking for him to understand the situation. Hogwarts had no school rules that prohibited students from visiting the college lounge, and Professor McGonagall was powerless in this case without violating the school rules!

As a result, such a rare spectacle appeared in the Gryffindor lounge!

"This is simply too crazy!"

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

"Who said it wasn't!" Ron looked up at the sky and grinned foolishly, "This is simply crazy! Mike actually offered a reward of 10,000 gold Galleons!"

Harry glared at Ron in dissatisfaction and said,

"I said these people are crazy!"

"It's not surprising at all! This is 10,000 gold Galleons!" Ron said as he suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to Harry, "By the way, did the beater named Alan tell you anything afterwards?"

"Of course! He said he didn't know what was going on! It was the Quaffle that changed direction by itself!"

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

"That's impossible! Don't make trouble, Ron!"

"Okay then," Ron nodded disappointedly, then turned to look at Hermione, "By the way, Hermione! I remember you were next to Mike at the time, right? Tell me about the situation at that time?"

Hermione, who had been lowering her head, finally raised her head. At this moment, her eyes were red, and she looked as if she had just cried.

She glared at Ron with disgust and said bitterly:

"Ron, can you not be so disgusting!"

Ron's face turned pale and he hurriedly explained:

"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 lower her head.

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 was at that time.

However, she felt deeply guilty afterwards, because she believed that if she had not been there, Mike would not have had to fight the Quaffle at all!

You know, Mike has a house-elf!

Thinking of this, Hermione's eyes became moist again. She wanted to see Mike now, 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! That's right!" Ron jumped up excitedly, "What are we waiting for! Let's go!"

Ron stood up and prepared to find the batsman named Alan, but he was pulled back by Harry just as he stood up!

"Are you crazy? Go find Alan at this time! The group of people at the door will go crazy!" Harry lowered his voice and said, "We'll go after they leave tonight!"

"Okay then... but where else can we go to investigate besides Alan?"

"Let's go to the warehouse and the Quidditch field first. If there is really something wrong with the Quaffle, there must be evidence left!" Harry said and looked 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 lounge, but before they walked far, Hermione, who was still sobbing with her head down, stood up and said firmly:

"I'll go too!"

...

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

Now the whole Hogwarts is crazy. The warehouse dedicated to stacking old brooms and various Quidditch balls has long been visited by countless people. Not to mention the test balls at that time, even those tattered old-fashioned light wheel brooms have been snatched away.

When Harry and his friends arrived at the warehouse, Mrs. Hooch was so angry that she was jumping up and down in the empty warehouse!

Because she had no way to deal with those students, there were too many people.

The Quidditch field was also crowded at this time, and countless students were gathering on the field and in the stands to search inch by inch.

Seeing this, Hermione closed her eyes in pain. In this case, 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, looking at the people on the field with a confused face.

But Harry did not respond to him, but shook his head and returned to the castle. He was going to search for intelligence elsewhere. Maybe these professors would get unexpected gains if they asked.

But when they really returned to the castle and found Professor McGonagall, they found that something was wrong.

Professor McGonagall's face was almost as black as coal, and the muscles on her face were constantly twitching because it was the time for the seventh graders to have the Transfiguration class, but the classroom in front of her was empty.

This was simply a great shame!

Her students, McGonagall, actually skipped classes collectively! This has 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 provoke her.

"Those people are crazy. They dared to 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 worth it to be deducted points or put in detention for this money! To be honest, if I had so much money, I might drop out of school and go abroad. You know, the country of Ying is not peaceful now. You know, it's because of that man who can't even mention his name!"

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

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

Because almost all professors were absent from class!

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

After investigating here, Harry and the other two were no longer in the mood to talk, but something more surprising was yet to come.

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

For example, the female professor who taught ancient magic runes was scanning the entire Quidditch field with a detection spell at this moment, trying to find some evidence.

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

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

Countless students crowded in her small 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 arrogant, and commanding students to do this and that, Hermione frowned in disgust.

She felt that the people around Trelawney were simply stupid. If Trelawney, a big liar, could really predict the identity of the assassin, she should have caught the assassin and received the reward long ago, and why would she continue to hang around here?

Harry and the other two returned to the Gryffindor common room helplessly. Now almost everyone was crazy because of the 10,000 gold galleons. In this case, they could not find any clues at all.

"I can only 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 Request was also very lively.

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

These people were actually awake, but they did not dare to resist at all, because as long as they made the slightest movement, the vicious black man next to them would mercilessly use the tickling spell on them!

It was too painful to be itchy all over but unable to scratch, which made the twelve people present very honest now.

At this time, Zhou Hong was not idle either. He was questioning the twelve people one by one, and at the same time he also used his ability. He could detect these people as long as they lied.

"Zhou Hong, are you done? I don't have much time left. If I continue to dawdle, Dumbledore will find us."

Hearing Dumbledore's name, several of the people who were hung upside down instinctively raised their heads. This behavior obviously caused Franklin's dissatisfaction, and he rewarded those people with an tickling spell.

"If it doesn't work, use Veritaserum. We have no shortage of that stuff, you know."

Franklin put a large bottle of transparent liquid on the table, which made the twelve people tremble. If the Veritaserum is not used properly, it can turn people into mentally retarded!

"It's done! There's nothing wrong with these people, let them go!"

Zhou Hong clapped his hands and said.

His expression was not very good. Part of it was because of overusing his abilities, but the most important thing was that the reason why these twelve people wanted to kill Mike was too weird!

One of the weirdest guys actually wanted to kill him because he was jealous of Mike's handsomeness. This is simply a mental illness!

Franklin waved his hand when he heard it, 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, we should 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 progress. Even if there is a confidentiality agreement, Dumbledore will still find a way to trouble us!"

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

"Targeted?"

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

Most of them were wearing Slytherin's green ties!
