Chapter 1343

"I think, although Dumbledore isn't here, we teachers are still useful. We won't allow a sixteen-year-old child to kill people, even if they are Death Eaters!"

Professor McGonagall looked at Darren seriously.

Darren had to reveal a helpless expression, pretending he was coerced by others, so he didn't go outside to kill Death Eaters.

And Harry, after setting his mind at ease, thought of another thing.

He hesitated for a long time.

Then he told Professor McGonagall.

"I once saw this necklace in Borgin and Burkes' shop; I think this is what Malfoy did!"

Harry said through gritted teeth.

Darren remained silent.

Hermione and Ron, one looked a bit annoyed, and the other awkwardly scraped the ground with his foot, as if wanting to scrape himself out of this room.

"Such a harsh accusation, then, Harry, do you have evidence?"

Ron looked even more awkward.

He said in a low voice, "I told him to have evidence, but he just wouldn't listen."

Harry glared at Ron annoyedly.

Ron pretended not to see it.

Hermione said helplessly, "Harry, you forgot, I told you."

"Mr. Filch checks all incoming packages, so if Malfoy bought the necklace, he couldn't possibly have brought it in."

"You have to know that the current Mr. Filch has magic; he has more ways to check those things."

Harry was speechless.

He could only stubbornly look at Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall looked extremely angry.

She said indignantly, "Since there is no evidence, then don't talk nonsense here."

"What's more, Malfoy is in detention with me; he couldn't possibly go to Hogsmeade, so how do you say he gave the thing to Katie?"

"Malfoy is in detention?"

"Yes, he has already failed to complete his Transfiguration homework twice, so I have been keeping him in detention!"

Professor McGonagall said angrily.

Then she prepared to leave.

But Darren suddenly said, "Professor, has Malfoy had any situations where he didn't complete his Transfiguration homework before?"

Professor McGonagall was stunned.

She said solemnly, "Before, at most it was written poorly; there has never been a situation where he didn't complete the homework."

Harry laughed loudly.

"He must have done it to create an alibi for himself!"

This was certain.

However.

Darren turned his head to look at Harry and asked, "Then, brother, where is the evidence?"

"He has been to Borgin and Burkes' shop..."

"If you say that, you have been there too! If those who have been there have suspicions, you also have suspicions, right?"

Harry was speechless.

Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement.

"That's right, if you accuse a student casually without evidence, this will be sent to Azkaban!"

"Alright, I won't talk to you about this matter anymore; I hope you can put your minds into studying."

"There are teachers in the school, you only need to be responsible for studying. Harry, I think you should let Darren tutor you in every subject."

"Many professors have reported to me that your learning results are very unsatisfactory."

"Professor Snape even thinks you might not be suitable for learning his Defense Against the Dark Arts course!"

Professor McGonagall said angrily.

She opened the office door.

Only Harry and the others were left looking at each other.

"I think, the most urgent thing now is to figure out who Katie wanted to give that necklace to!"

Darren said softly.

Harry immediately got energized again.

He said loudly, "It must be Dumbledore or Darren..."

"No, it couldn't be Darren, you forgot, Darren was by our side, Katie could see him as soon as she turned her head."

"It also couldn't be Harry, because he was also by our side; perhaps it was Slughorn!"

Hermione analyzed rationally. But Harry insisted on saying.

No matter who it was for.

It was definitely Malfoy's doing.

Especially when he heard Darren ask Professor McGonagall if Malfoy had ever failed to complete homework like this before, he believed it even more.

Because Dumbledore didn't notify them not to have class, so on Monday night, Darren and Harry, of course, appeared in Dumbledore's office as promised.

Dumbledore was there.

However, his face was a bit tired.

Darren noticed he was wearing an obsidian ring on his finger.

But his hand still hadn't turned charred black.

It seems Dumbledore had indeed passed the Horcrux without injury.

Seeing Darren staring at his ring.

Dumbledore laughed.

"Very sharp, I even thought you would need a period of time to notice this!"

Harry was a bit embarrassed.

Because he indeed hadn't noticed.

However, he was thinking more about other things.

He waited until he had greeted Dumbledore, then really couldn't help but ask, "Headmaster, do you know about what I said to Professor McGonagall?"

"Oh, yes, yes, I heard it, Minerva told me about this matter."

"I will investigate this matter, but I think, what is more important now is my lesson!"

Harry was a bit annoyed.

Darren asked worriedly, "How is Katie?"

"She is still lucky; after all, she only touched the necklace with a small piece of skin on her hand."

"If she had worn the necklace around her neck, then she would have died on the spot! Fortunately, you sent her in time, and Professor Snape stopped the spread of the curse, so she saved her life..."

"Why was it Snape?"

Harry asked angrily.

"This is my business, Harry!"

Dumbledore ended the conversation with Harry in one sentence.

This made him even angrier.

However, he still continued to say, "We also met Mundungus, he stole Darren's things, I hope..."

"I know about this matter, I will deal with him... then, now, we must start our lesson."

"Today's memory is a bit long; in order for you to lie in your beds on time, we cannot talk about these things anymore!"

Dumbledore said seriously.

Harry could only nod unwillingly.

Darren looked at that ring.

Dumbledore looked at him with a smile.
