Chapter 652: Potent Veritaserum

Ivan slid his right hand down, and naturally put it on the wand at his waist.

Then, he saw Snape take out a small crystal bottle, which contained a clear potion.

"Since you don't know anything about what happened tonight, do you know what it is?" said Snape, the malicious gleam in his eyes again.

"Veritaserum!" Ai Wen said in a word.

Of course he knew about this thing, he had seen the formula and finished product of this potion more than once.

"It seems that you are not as ignorant as you imagined. That's right, this is Veritaserum, a potion that teaches you to tell the truth. It is extremely effective. Just three drops can make you reveal the secrets deep in your heart. Let the whole school listen!" Snape said.

"Professor, it is illegal to use this potion!" Hermione couldn't help saying.

She couldn't believe that Snape had gone too far and threatened them with Veritaserum.

"You're right, Granger, the Ministry of Magic has very strict regulations on the use of this potion. But you must be extra careful, otherwise I will miss it." Snape shook the crystal bottle slightly, "Like pumpkin juice for your dinner. Then we'll find out if you've been in my office, or if you know something dark."

Ivan didn't reply, his eyes fell on the small bottle of Veritaserum in Snape's hand.

He had too many secrets, and if Snape did sneak a few drops on him, the consequences...

In fact, hearing Snape's words made Hermione feel bad too.

Everyone has things in their hearts that they don't want others to know, and Veritaserum is a terrible potion.

Unlike Remembrance or Imperius, the effect of Veritaserum is irresistible, and it is colorless and odorless, making it difficult to guard against.

Even a wizard as powerful as Dumbledore would be affected by this potion.

"You can't do this!" Ivan said softly.

"You know you're scared, don't you?!" A sneer appeared on Snape's face, and he said softly, "Let me think about what kind of punishment I should give you two. I lied. One hundred points from Gryffindor, then detention, until the end of term, every week..."

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden bang, bang, and scream from upstairs.

Snape ran up at the fastest speed, and Ivan and Hermione looked at each other and followed.

Then, they saw Filch and his cat, along with the golden egg, on the stairs leading to the third floor.

Almost instantly, Ivan guessed that this was Ron's golden egg, and he and Harry must be nearby.

Although I don't know what they are doing with the golden eggs at night, but only Harry's invisibility cloak can make them invisible.

This is really bad enough, if not done well, there will be two more people in confinement.

"What happened?" Snape asked.

"It's Peeves, Professor!" Filch whispered viciously. "He threw the egg down the stairs."

Snape hurried upstairs and stopped beside Filch.

Harry and Ron looked at him nervously, and then looked at Ivan and Hermione under the stairs.

The clothes of the two were messed up, covered with mud, what did they just do outside the castle...

"Peeves?" said Snape softly, keeping his eyes on the golden egg in Filch's hand. "How interesting!"

"Professor, why are the two of them here!" Filch said, pointing at Ivan and Hermione.

Mrs. Norris ran to Ivan's side and kissed him affectionately.

Speaking of which, this cat is really ugly!

In fact, because of Mrs. Norris, the relationship between Filch and Ivan is pretty good.

Sometimes, when Ivan came out to wander around the castle at midnight, Filch would let him go, but that was all.

It is impossible and useless for him to intercede with Snape for Ivan.

"Someone broke into my office, and I saw them both when I chased them out!" Snape said softly.

"Could it be Peeves?!" said Filch delightedly. "Was this golden egg in your office, Professor?"

"Of course not!" snapped Snape. "I heard a bang, bang, bang, and a scream..."

"It was Peeves who stole the golden egg and threw him over the top of the stairs," said Filch, rubbing his hands together. "If the golden egg is in your office, he ..."

"I said it wasn't him, Filch!" Snape's voice became harsh again. "I have sealed my office with a spell, and only wizards can break in, and there is a strong defensive magic there. That person must have been hurt!"

Snape raised his head and glanced at Ivan and Hermione, then looked up the stairs.

He looked straight across Harry and Ron, then down the hallway below.

"It wasn't the two of them who broke into my office, and it wasn't Peeves!" said Snape. "He can't get far, and I want you to come and help me search for the intruder, Filch. "

"What, Professor?!" Filch said in surprise.

He stared eagerly at the top of the stairs, his gaze directly penetrating Harry and Ron under the Invisibility Cloak.

Harry could see that he was reluctant to pass up this good opportunity to intercept Peeves.

"Close the gates and search the entire castle!" Snape said coldly.

Under the stairs, Ivan was speechless for a while. Snape knew that he and Hermione didn't do it.

But he still took the opportunity to use Desperation on himself, and even threatened him with Veritaserum, what a dangerous guy.

"That's right, Professor!" Filch said dejectedly. "I think we still have something to do. I'm afraid the headmaster will listen to me this time. Peeves stole something from a student. I may have something to do this time." chance to drive him out of the castle forever..."

"Filch, I don't care about that nasty mischievous ghost, it's my office that..."

Kick, kick, kick! ! !

Snape stopped talking abruptly, and everyone looked down at the stairs.

Through the gap between their heads, Alvin saw Keresis limping out, reverting to Moody's image again.

He wore his old traveling cloak over his nightshirt and used his cane as usual.

What happened tonight was all caused by this guy, and he only made his debut at this time.

If he didn't die because he passed into Snape's office and stupidly touched some defensive magic, Ivan and Hermione would have gone back to their respective bedrooms to sleep, instead of standing here waiting for Snape to announce the closed punishment .

If possible, Aiwen really wanted to beat Keressis hard in the past. Browse and read the address:
