Case Retrial
Chapter 156 Case Retrial
The dark grey, slimy bodies were wriggling forward in the dark and damp farmland. The spinach and cabbage that we were used to seeing were as huge as castles.
It crawls slowly through it.
The sun is about to come out and it doesn't want to be exposed to the sun.
Suddenly, the leaves covering the top of the head were pushed aside, and a huge child leaned over to look at it and shouted, "Look, a snail!"
"No, it's not, it's a slug." said another taller giant, grabbing its soft body with a pair of pincers and lifting it up.
"We can use the slug with tentacles to make a scabies potion," said the giant, "but we have to dry it first."
The giant put him under the sun. The scorching sun burned his back. He felt that he was about to be sunburned to death. He twisted and struggled desperately, gasping for breath in pain...
Wade woke up suddenly, tore off the quilt wrapped around himself, and with a wave of his hand, the candle beside the bed was lit.
He touched his forehead, which was covered in cold sweat.
His mouth tasted extremely bitter, so he spat out the leaf. Sure enough, the third Mandrake leaf also had a corner missing.
Although Wade knew that the "slug" thing was a joke from Professor Murray, he actually dreamed that he turned into a slug when he slept at night, which was too bad.
It can’t be that kind of...precognitive dream, right?
Wade immediately drew back the curtains and got up, looked around his dormitory, and waved his wand -
A dozen pieces of parchment flew up, grew larger, and stuck to the wall. Images of eagles flying in various postures gradually emerged on the blank papers.
"Snapped!"
The candlestick turned into an eagle sitting on a branch.
"Snapped!"
An eagle-shaped relief appears on the wardrobe.
"Snapped!"
There were cloud patterns on the legs of the desk, and on the table top there were more than a dozen eagles with wings spread.
All you can see are images of eagles.
Vader snorted inwardly.
Go away, slug!
He is a Ravenclaw, if he wants to change, he will become an eagle!
After hypnotizing himself for more than ten minutes, Wade lay back on the bed.
……
The weekend was when Wade and Marchionne had an appointment to meet.
The weather was surprisingly good that day, and most people couldn't wait to rush to the playground. Some people even shouted, "Ved, let your insect army attack!"
"Yes, yes! We have prepared several tactics, ready to defeat them!"
"I'm telling you, I've gotten used to the ugly looks of spiders and cockroaches. I'm not afraid of them anymore!"
Wade looked around and saw that there was still some time before the agreed time, so he made an "OK" gesture.
This time it was Professor Flitwick who seized the referee's stool.
When he saw Vader, he was also very happy and said, "Oh, I haven't seen the insect army since I became a referee! Everyone says this is the most interesting part of the 'Battle Royale'!"
Wade was surprised. Who spread these rumors? When they were scared to the point of peeing their pants, did they really think all this was funny?
He felt strange, but he did not hesitate. Just as he was about to pick a few insects from the leaves, Fred handed him a glass jar.
"I've prepared it for you!" Fred said with a wicked smile, "Give those little guys who have never seen anything like it some shock from the monsters!"
Wade looked at it and was speechless.
In addition to the common ants and spiders in the jar, there are also flying moths, extremely ugly magic flower mantises, fat white silkworm moth larvae, slender centipedes, and... gray-black slugs.
Slugs?
Wade looked at Fred silently.
The red-haired Weasley winked at him and said, "Well, it's pretty good, isn't it? It took me a lot of effort to find it."
Professor Flitwick leaned over to take a look, nodded and said, "It's really great! It's such a waste to have only so few students." He stood up and waved his wand, expanding the fence of the playground several times, and many students watching outside also became participants.
Including the Weasley twins.
"Huh? Huh!" Fred was dumbfounded.
"Wait, I want to go out." Several Gryffindor students who had joined them in making trouble screamed and ran away.
"Snapped!"
The glass jar was broken, and the insects swelled, swelled, swelled...
The three-meter-tall magic flower mantis tapped its front legs and made a strange cry.
The slug squirmed and suddenly pinned a stunned student under its body, covering him with slime.
"Ahhhh-"
Screams of terror echoed throughout the school.
Vader felt better.
……
When the second game started, there were fewer students participating than ever before.
The insects that had transformed back to their original form had already hidden themselves. Several Hufflepuff students repeatedly asked Wade, and after confirming that the insect army would not attack again, they ran in together cautiously.
Many students who were hit so hard that they could not recover were lying on the playground to recover, and some were crying quietly. Wade walked through the crowd without any guilt and returned to the castle.
He was going to Hogsmeade, but the others probably didn't have the energy to sneak out of the school for the time being.
When they reached the eighth floor, Harry was alone in the Room of Requirement.
Vader was a little surprised.
Harry knew what he was wondering about, and said, "I wanted to ask about the progress of the Lupin case, so I didn't go to the playground... Fortunately I didn't go."
He said with lingering fear.
Vader smiled.
The two passed through the vanishing cabinet and arrived at Lupin's home in a blink of an eye. Marchionne had already arrived and was sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea and chatting with Lupin.
"Remus! Mr. Marchionne!" Harry called enthusiastically, "Any progress on the case?"
"The trial will be open next Friday." Lupin said with a smile: "Mr. Marchionne has sent the information... the chances of winning are very high."
"Great!" Harry exclaimed, then hesitated and said, "I... um... well... I can..."
"I will ask Dumbledore if he can give you a day off so that you can attend."
Lupin knew why he was hesitating, and said gently: "I think Dumbledore can understand what that day meant to you. It is far more important than a lesson."
Harry was delighted.
Marchionne smiled slyly.
The "boy who lived", the "savior of the magical world", the boy who lost both his parents because of that betrayal was sitting in the gallery.
His inclinations, his likes and dislikes, and his clear green eyes will undoubtedly have an invisible influence on the person making the judgment.
This is an open conspiracy.
I just wonder how the legendary "Godfather", Sirius Black, who is said to have gone crazy, would feel when he saw that scene.
While Harry and Lupin discussed the details of the attendance, Marchionne nodded to Wade, and the two went to the study.
Marchionne asked curiously:
"Ved, what was the alchemical work you said you were going to show me last time? It should be finished by now, right?"
