Chapter 335: Secret Meeting in the Room of Requirement
With Yang Tian's assurance, Dumbledore also breathed a sigh of relief. He then continued to arrange, "Severus, go and investigate thoroughly. Is there really someone spying on us in secret? Or how did these people know our whereabouts?"
After thinking for a while, he continued, "Professor McGonagall, I understand your desire to protect Harry, but if you really care about him and firmly believe in his innocence, you should investigate the matter thoroughly, clear his name, and nip the unknown danger in the bud."
Snape's expression relaxed when he heard this, but he seemed to be afraid of being discovered, and the next moment, he glared at McGonagall with a triumphant sneer.
Professor McGonagall didn't care about it, but replied in a resounding voice: "I know what to do, but for the safety and reputation of my students, I will never take extreme measures such as interrogation."
Dumbledore nodded slightly, indicating that he understood Professor McGonagall's position.
The rest of the people didn't say anything else, but nodded in tacit understanding. After everything was settled, everyone left in a hurry...
After walking out of the ward, Yang Tian found that all the friends who stayed in school were waiting for him outside the door. They looked very worried, especially Hannah, whose eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried.
Seeing Yang Tian coming out of the ward, Neville asked first: "Yang Tian, are Justin and the others okay?"
"Like the other victims, he is temporarily unconscious. We still need further observation." As he spoke, Yang Tian signaled everyone with his eyes. The friends immediately understood and surrounded Yang Tian as they walked towards the Room of Requirement.
During this Christmas holiday, except for Draco, Pansy, Daphne, Hermione and Yang Tian himself, most of the team members chose to stay in school. Everyone thought that there was strength in numbers and they could use this period of time to find some new clues. But who knew that they were attacked by someone. The frustration and panic can be imagined. Fortunately, Yang Tian returned early, and everyone immediately felt that they had a backbone again.
In the room that was decorated like a living room, everyone sat on the sofa with serious expressions.
"So, you have already made the antidote for the two toxins mentioned above?" At this moment, Zhang Qiu's heart and eyes were full of admiration.
“Yes, but this news cannot be leaked out in any case. Otherwise, once the other party changes their attack method, such as a more direct and fatal blow, then even if I want to save you, I will be powerless to do so.” Yang Tian said solemnly, with a hint of worry and warning in his tone.
The friends nodded their heads to show they understood. This secret was indeed of great importance. If the enemy knew it, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Padma, you were in charge of the Marauder's Map this morning, right? What was that skinny guy named Valentin doing at that time?" Furong asked immediately.
"For the entire morning, he was wandering back and forth between the library, the infirmary, and the common rooms of the various colleges. It's unknown what he was doing," Padma replied immediately.
"He has been doing this since he escaped supervision by using the excuse that he had no idea that Will would use the Unforgivable Curse in collusion with young wizards from other places. This morning, I was following him from a distance until the incident happened." George said listlessly, "Although this person is annoying, he did not do anything else when the incident happened.
"Where is that little round face?" Yang Tian's heart moved, and he asked as if he had some feeling.
"Who? Kirill? His presence is really low. I even feel that he is not suitable for Gryffindor." Parvati said helplessly: "He just reads books and studies obediently all day long. When he sees people, he calls them brother, sister, younger brother, and younger sister. He stays in the greenhouse to grow herbs when he has nothing to do. This morning, he went to the library... Halfway through, senior Angelina asked me to help set up the venue, so I left for a while..."
"Yes, since he was someone Yang Tian mentioned, I have been following his whereabouts on the Marauder's Map. He seemed to have been in the library today, and he seemed to have left for a while. Maybe he went to the bathroom, and he came back very soon." Padma explained with a bit of boredom: "I always feel that he is too well-behaved. I can't see any misbehavior at all."
"Yes, this little brother is very polite and usually very respectful to me. Yang Tian, are you too sensitive?" Angelina said carelessly: "We can't just wrongly accuse good people!"
"Haha, I find this interesting." Penelope showed disdain in her eyes: "Since he is so peaceful, why did he end up hanging out with those extreme mutual aid members? Why did he join the siege of Yang Tian at the fight club party? Why was he the first to step out and try to shift the blame to Yang Tian? Do you remember his shrill screams? If it weren't for the flashback curse, I think Yang Tian would have been in a miserable state at that time."
"He already knows he was wrong about this matter." Angelina explained quickly, "He repented for it in the Gryffindor common room afterwards. I remember he cried very sadly at the time, saying that he misunderstood Yang Tian because he was too scared at the time. He didn't expect the young wizards at Hogwarts to be so strong, he didn't expect ordinary duels to be so close to actual combat, and he didn't expect Will to use the Unforgivable Curse in a fit of anger. It's all his fault, he trusted the wrong person."
"Oh?" Yang Tian showed an interested look and continued to ask: "What happened next?"
"Later, he said he wanted to apologize to Yang Tian, but he didn't dare to, for fear that Yang Tian would not forgive him. He said he would work hard to catch up with Yang Tian so that he would be qualified to repent in front of him." Angelina said seriously.
"Puff." Hearing this, Yang Tian almost choked on his own saliva.
"Oh, and there's this other thing?" Penelope looked at Angelina with a half-smile, and said in a teasing tone, "That's even more interesting. Yang Tian was forced to fight many people alone, and the spell he cast was close to actual combat? The unforgivable curse that Viljo cast was just a hot-headed move? It's really double standards. Moreover, according to what you said, he admitted his mistake and cried very sadly. But what he did next was to continue to collude with the person who did the wrong thing. I remember that there were some rumors at that time, right? It was said that Yang Tian hit his classmates hard, and that Yang Tian regarded his classmates as mortal enemies..."
"Aren't these all rumors spread by those people in the mutual aid society?" Angelina still didn't understand the key point: "We fought back hard against their remarks at the time. We used the Unforgivable Curse and still wanted our opponents to show mercy. Are we crazy?" There was a hint of anger in her voice, and she seemed very dissatisfied with those who spread the rumors.
But these words made Elena completely speechless...
