Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 230: Magic Potion (Page 12)



"Is this man crazy?"

In the Auror interrogation room of the Ministry of Magic, through a layer of magic one-way mirror, Delis made a comment while watching Peter Pettigrew's movements.

In that interrogation room, three of the four walls were made of solid granite. There are magic spells reinforced everywhere in the room. Only one side is not a rock wall, but it is a magical one-way mirror with an astonishing thickness.

And its ceiling is also enchanted, and the green light can shine on the prisoners' heads twenty-four hours a day.

Because green light can inhibit photosynthesis, even if a tenacious magical plant is put in, the plant will be boiled to death within a few days.

Staying inside for interrogation, the prisoner will immediately feel how "judgmental" he is.

At this time, Peter Pettigrew was hiding in the corner, with his face facing the corner and his body huddled in a ball - life will always find a way for itself. By doing this, he can avoid the torture of green light on his eyes. There were dark wizard prisoners before. Did this too.

He was not chained because there was no way he could cast any spell to escape from the heavily guarded interrogation room.

In fact, this interrogation room is rarely used unless necessary.

Because once activated, not only it would be a torture for the person being interrogated, but it would also be a heavy burden for the Auror Office.

Director Scrimgeour arranged for at least six Aurors to work in pairs every day, changing shifts outside every eight hours, taking turns to stare at the room on the other side of the magic one-way lens.

This occupied almost one-fifth of the human resources of the Auror Office, causing the only violent department of the British Ministry of Magic to work overtime to the extreme, making colleagues in other departments look at him with suspicion.

But those Aurors didn't complain, and they didn't dare to complain.

Because Principal Dumbledore, the idol most of them admire, and Professor McGonagall, the dean of Hogwarts, have been working overtime with them during this time.

Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and some invited advisors like Horace Slughorn have recently been teasing out how Peter Pettigrew escaped from Azkaban and his subsequent murder. Several Muggle victims were arrested, and a series of cases were waiting for them.

These old men and women directly occupied an office in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and the current director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement very considerately acted as their tea boy and undertook all the logistical support work.

The director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement takes the lead in working overtime. Do you believe it?

But this is the fact.

It was clearly after eight o'clock in the evening, but the lights were still brightly lit in the large office of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. And the director-general was waiting at the door of the office, ready to refill tea and water for the big guys inside.

"Albus, the confirmation work on my side has been completed."

Horace Slughorn twisted his neck, walked to the long table in the office with a glass reagent bottle, and placed it on the long table.

"According to Muggles, I have extracted the genetic material belonging to Peter Pettigrew from the remaining biological evidence at the crime scene."

As a potions master, Horace also has a deep understanding of some Muggle subjects, because they also have implications for the study of potions.

"Use the venom of the poisonous tentacles for more than seven years to destroy the cell walls of biological tissues, then add the volcanic rock salt necessary for feeding Riem cattle, and finally mix it with a high degree of fire whiskey..."

He stretched out his left hand and pointed inside the glass bottle, where there was an almost imperceptible, transparent gel-like layer on the surface of the liquid.

Then, he raised his right hand holding the wand, and there was a ball of blood mixed with hair floating on the front of the wand - these were the "fresh" raw materials extracted from Peter Pettigrew in the past two days.

When Horace controlled the blood to approach the glass bottle, the gelatinous substance on the surface of the bottle immediately seemed to be pulled by something, and began to squirm toward the blood outside the glass bottle like a slug.

"...Who is that?" Horace shouted, and the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement who was waiting outside the door immediately opened the door, "Please find someone to bring a magic development camera to take a picture of this scene. The evidence can be considered fixed.”

After receiving the instruction, the director bowed slightly, nodded slightly, and carefully closed the office door.

Afraid of disturbing the work of the bosses.

Then, after the office door was closed tightly, the director straightened his body, twisted the tie around his neck, and repeated his Slug Hoo to the subordinates who "volunteer" to work overtime outside. Dean - he is a Slytherin - just assigned the task.

He yelled it out loud.

Soon, there will be magical Parlu...well, no, those hard-working Ministry of Magic staff running to carry out the orders of their superiors.

The big guys in that office were unaware of this, they just focused on the work at hand.

Dumbledore looked at Horace's results during this period and finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the verification of this result solved a problem.

Peter Pettigrew disguised his own murders as those committed by werewolves, which once again brought disrepute to some poor "patients" (except for perverts like Fenrir).

If he cannot use evidence to break down Peter Pettigrew's conspiracy, then one of his plans for next year may be affected by this.

Although if he really wants to implement it, there is a high probability that no one can stop him, but doing so will make him appear to be a little determined.

"Very well, thank you, Horace." Dumbledore sincerely thanked his old colleague: "Without you, we probably wouldn't have been able to get rid of the rumors spread by Peter so perfectly, and his conviction in the future would not have been complete." Very convincing."

Horace was actually very grateful for Dumbledore's thanks. After all, it depends on who said it. Being able to be stronger than the most powerful archmage in the world in some aspects, no wizard would not feel satisfied and satisfied with it.

Mag, who was presiding over another research task with his two former protégés (now both famous transfiguration scholars), also raised his head at this time.

"There is only one question left now. We have almost finished analyzing the spells attached to the 'Out of Control Bludger'."

She said: "It is a compound spell that mixes the levitating spell, the flying spell, the confusion spell, and some unknown magic principles. If it is to control a bludger, based on my understanding of Peter, he works hard Maybe it can be done. But the problem is, that day he controlled multiple Bludgers at once, which completely exceeded the upper limit of his own magic... He doesn't have this ability, do you understand?"

Horace nodded. He also agreed with Mag's statement, and he also discovered something during the experiment.

"He may have eaten something - in Hogwarts Castle, you can actually find some potion materials used to make 'enchantment potions' - otherwise, I have to wonder whether he was really imprisoned. Been in Azkaban prison for a while.”

The so-called "magic-enhancing potion" is an advanced potion that can permanently increase the upper limit of part of a wizard's magic power, but very few people know about it and its formula.
