Chapter 137 The Proud Filch and the Imperius Curse
William was startled by this little girl with a shrill voice.
Although he personally caught Percy on a date, he really didn't expect that the Weasley family could be as respectful as a brother and sister.
‘Little girl, you are selling yourself off to your family members so cruelly, do your family members know? ’
Not only William, but Professor McGonagall was also frightened by this chirping little girl. Her usually calm face was a little uncontrollably distorted.
Logically speaking, he should say something now, but William was afraid that he would not be able to control his laughter.
Fortunately, Professor McGonagall's ability to control emotions was far better than William's. She pursed her lips and said with a discernible forced smile: "Miss Weasley, there is no part about falling in love in the school rules, and your brother Percy, he's almost an adult and the school has no reason to punish him for who he associates with."
"ah?"
The little girl's face was full of disappointment, as if she were a child whose precious toy had been taken away - this child was so entangled with her brother?
Even Professor McGonagall was moved by the appearance of this little doormat. The professor showed a rare gentle look and stretched out his hand to rub her hair, "Okay, go back, Miss Weasley, and have more sex in the lounge." Friends, maybe you can talk to a few other brothers, maybe they like the news very much."
William was almost stunned by Professor McGonagall's almost devilish suggestion - Principal, Percy is your prefect, so you just gave up?
But even such a terrifying suggestion still did not free Miss Weasley from her loss. She pouted visibly, then looked around absently and slowly left the classroom. The whole action was full of protest.
This image of being a doormat made William burst into laughter shortly after she left the office.
"Okay, Professor William, what do you want to see me for?"
Professor McGonagall also couldn't suppress the smile on her face, but at least she didn't forget about business.
"It's nothing important, Professor. I just passed by to go to Mr. Filch's place, and then I saw Miss Weasley walking around your office. I was curious and prepared to ask. I didn't expect this to be the case."
William smiled and told the story.
"I'm struggling with this lawsuit," Professor McGonagall shook her head relaxedly, "I thought she had something dear to her that was confiscated by Filch, so she came here to look for it."
"You're searching for a first grader? She's only a first grader and can-"
William questioned casually, and then something came to his mind - it seemed that he had seen this red hair when he left the Forbidden Forest not long ago.
'At that time, it seemed that Adams was questioning that this little girl was going to steal the cock, yes, the cock! ’
'She has two Weasley brothers. She can definitely ask questions about secret passages from her brothers. Confusion spells and the like, this pure-blood girl has probably mastered it a long time ago! ’
"Professor William?"
Professor McGonagall's voice jolted William out of his thoughts.
"I was distracted, Professor, and I was suspicious of Miss Weasley."
William expressed his doubts directly.
"Miss Weasley?" Professor McGonagall frowned, "She is only in first year."
She thought again and her tone changed.
"Let's go to Mr. Filch and see what he confiscated from Miss Weasley. Even a first-year Gryffindor shouldn't be so foolish as to complain because of love."
——
"Has Miss Weasley been here?"
"Yes, and she admitted it."
Filch responded to William and the others with a proud look on his face.
"Admit? Admit to what?"
"Of course she killed the rooster and was the culprit of all this turmoil."
The old administrator smiled quite proudly, with an expression worthy of me. Obviously he was quite proud of the fact that he found the real murderer as soon as he searched.
admit?
Are you kidding me—the incident that had troubled me for a week was solved just because of such a search?
Also stunned was Professor McGonagall.
"Miss Weasley? She did it?"
"Of course, Professor, that child honestly explained everything to me, and expressed his willingness to take responsibility for the mistakes he made, accept three months of confinement, and go to Hagrid to help him in all his spare time."
"But she didn't say anything when she left Professor McGonagall's office not long ago—"
"You scared her, Professor. There are some things she only wanted to tell Professor McGonagall. Your presence scared her so much that she didn't dare to say anything..."
Filch shook his head proudly. Judging from his appearance, he would probably open a bottle of wine to reward himself later.
'I didn't know she was planning to surrender. That sneaky look on her face meant she wanted to sneak into Professor McGonagall's office. ’
William grinned speechlessly and spread his hands.
"What's the reason? She can't possibly attack the rooster and kill it for no reason, right?"
"Sorry, I can't tell you this, Professor. I swore that although she made some mistakes, her motives were forgivable."
Mr. Filch had the look on his face of a scholar who had seen through the vicissitudes of life.
This made William couldn't help but secretly stretched out his wand.
"Professor McGonagall?"
William turned his face and gave a questioning look towards Professor McGonagall, but at the same time as he turned around, a stun spell flew out and hit the old administrator.
Professor McGonagall cast a spell in time, causing the administrator who fell backward to float in mid-air.
"You are too impulsive, Professor William."
Professor McGonagall said in a slightly reproachful tone while getting the fainted administrator to a chair.
'You're very cooperative, aren't you...'
William resisted the desire to complain, walked quickly to the administrator, and began to check carefully.
Although he is seriously partial to magic, he is still able to master this situation. After all, this is one of the courses he prepared for.
After a quick and blunt inspection, William raised his head in confusion.
"No, it's not like a Confusion Curse, and there's no sign of being controlled by a spell like the Imperius Curse."
"Are you sure, Professor William?"
Professor McGonagall stared at William in surprise.
"Probably not. I don't know how to detect the Imperius Curse, and I learned all the relevant sign tests from books - you know, professor, the test for the Imperius Curse is inherently difficult. It all depends on experience and trivial signs. Otherwise, It won't be the Unforgivable Curse either. Just in case, come and check it out, Professor."
Professor McGonagall took over after hesitating - spells like the Imperius Curse were of great importance, and she had to verify that each Unforgivable Curse almost meant a sentence that could put Azkaban through.
"Indeed not."
After careful inspection, Professor McGonagall raised her head in confusion.
Then the two of them stared at Filch at the same time.
Why are you behaving so strangely without being hit by the Imperius Curse?
