Chapter 95 Thick Mist

Looking at the petrified Penelope, Mike felt like his lungs were about to explode. He had given her so many warnings, but he didn't expect that something would happen in the end.

"Is she dead?"

"No way? Shouldn't she fall down if she died?"

People around him were discussing.

Penelope didn't look too frightened. On the contrary, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she looked very happy.

The strange thing was that Penelope was not wearing a Hogwarts uniform or pajamas, but a thick khaki windbreaker and a pair of black trousers.

Mike took the letter out of Penelope's hand. What surprised him was that the signature on the letter was actually Mike Townley, and from the content of the letter, it should be a love letter inviting Penelope to go out for a date in the middle of the night. Now

Mike understood everything. Someone had asked Penelope out in his name. No wonder Penelope was dressed like this. It seemed that she must have dressed up carefully before going out and was looking forward to this date.

On the wall behind Penelope, there was a line of words written in blood: The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware.

The students around were mostly focused on the line of bloody words, most of them looked confused, while the few senior pure-blood students present were proudly telling others about the legend of the Chamber of Secrets.

The Muggle-born wizards listened with relish at first, but when they heard that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets would slaughter mudbloods, their faces suddenly changed.

The atmosphere of panic quickly spread among the crowd.

"Everyone be quiet!" Seeing this, Mack began to maintain order, "Go and inform Dean Flitwick. Also, who was the first to discover Penelope?"

Mack still had some prestige in Ravenclaw. After he gave the order, several people immediately ran to Professor Flitwick's office. And a pockmarked blonde girl also walked out timidly, indicating that she was the first person to discover Penelope.

Under Mike's maintenance, the order at the scene was finally restored to normal, and Professor Flitwick also came quickly, with Dumbledore and Professor Snape.

Mike took the pockmarked girl to meet them, and told them the whole story, and finally handed over the letter.

Dumbledore looked at the crowd gathering more and more, took out the elder wand and waved it gently, and the bloody words on the wall disappeared, and said: "Filius, you take Penelope to the infirmary first, and maintain order by the way. Mike, you and the lady come with me, I need you to cooperate with the investigation."

Upon hearing this, Professor Flitwick immediately ordered the other prefects who came late to disperse the students at the scene, and took Penelope to the infirmary. Before leaving, he patted Mike's arm to show encouragement. He was very satisfied with Mike's handling method today, and he didn't doubt whether Mike was the murderer.

Mike nodded to Professor Flitwick and followed Dumbledore to the principal's office.

On the way, no one spoke. The scene was very awkward. The girl with pockmarks on her face was already sweating with nervousness.

Mike was happy to be free. He entered a closed brain state after brewing for a long time. According to today's posture, Dumbledore is likely to use Legilimency on him. Although Mike is indeed not the murderer of this attack, his brain has a big secret of being a reborn person. Who can guarantee that Dumbledore will not find out?

After following Dumbledore all the way to the principal's office, Dumbledore said, "Sit down. Do you want some cockroaches? You know, sweets can relieve tension the most."

The girl with pockmarks on her face looked at the cockroaches that were still crawling in front of her and shook her head like a rattle.

Mike and Snape's reactions were very similar. They were expressionless, with empty and deep eyes, and were completely indifferent to what Dumbledore said.

"I have a general understanding of what happened, but I still want to confirm it." Dumbledore was not angry when he saw that everyone refused, and continued, "Did you send this letter written with a magic automatic shorthand pen to Penelope, Mike?"

"It was not sent by me, Dumbledore..."

Before Mike finished speaking, Snape interrupted and said, "He is lying!"

Mike looked at Snape, who was expressionless in front of him, and knew in his heart that he had seen that he was in a closed-brain state.

Mike's brain-blocking technique was far from being cultivated to the master level, so he could not hide it from Snape, the master of brain-blocking technique.

However, Mike did not intend to hide it from them. Although doing so would make him more suspicious, it was nothing compared to the secret in his mind.

"I believe that the observant Headmaster Dumbledore will definitely make the right decision, Professor Snape."

Mike, who was in a closed-brain state, was not at all false in the face of Snape's questioning, ignoring the cold aura he exuded and replied word by word.

Snape stared at Mike for a long time and found that Mike's expression did not change at all, so he ignored him.

"This matter is very serious, Dumbledore." Snape said to Dumbledore, "I suggest using unconventional means to interrogate Mike. If necessary, I can provide truth serum."

Dumbledore was about to say something when a man suddenly broke into the headmaster's office.

"Snape! You actually want to use truth serum on my student! Do you want to make him a fool?" Professor Flitwick suddenly appeared with a pair of bloodshot eyes, staring at Snape.

In the face of Flitwick's questioning, Snape's expression remained unchanged, and he did not distinguish anything, just staring at Flitwick silently.

Professor Flitwick, who was only a little over one meter tall, burst out with a brutal momentum that was extremely inconsistent with his short stature, giving people the feeling that he was a hungry tiger that could eat anyone at any time.

The pockmarked girl next to him had already been so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. Professor Flitwick's current appearance was completely inconsistent with his kind and gentle image in the past, smiling at everyone. It was only now that she remembered that Professor Flitwick was once a duel champion.

Looking at the two people who might start fighting at any time, Dumbledore spoke to mediate: "Filius, Severus just wanted to scare little Mike, he meant no harm."

"Scare? Are you kidding?" Professor Flitwick roared, "Everyone knows that the Chamber of Secrets refers to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets! In my opinion, the real murderer must be a Slytherin! We should give all the students in Slytherin house truth serum!"

Dumbledore looked at the furious Flitwick and knew that he would not be able to get anything out of him today.

"Well, I also believe that little Mac wouldn't do such a thing. After all, after the attack, the only thing left at the scene was the letter. It's too much of a frame-up." Dumbledore said.

Flitwick saw that Dumbledore began to defend Mac, and his expression improved a lot.

"That's it for today. The most urgent thing now is to cure Miss Penelope. You have to follow up on this, Filius." Dumbledore continued, "Severus stays, and the others go first. I have something to talk to him about alone."

PS: Just kidding, I won't transform. Don't you understand that the hint of the silver sword is so obvious?
