People in Hogwarts, holding scripts and systems

Chapter 261 Veritaserum

It is true that Crouch has strong working ability, but he is really unclear about some things.

Afro didn't feel sorry for his ending, but he let his son go and allowed him to do whatever he wanted. Could he really just die?

Not long after the report was published, everyone noticed something strange about Mr. Crouch.

He was indeed very ill, his face so pale that it was almost transparent.

"What's Crouch's illness? He looks like he's dying." Ron was pounding the table with a pestle, about six or seven inches away from his bowl. His mind was not on the potion at all, his eyes were always on Aphrodite.

Because this was the first time he was in the same group with Afro.

"I don't know, maybe some kind of mental illness?" Afro said casually. She was planning how to save Crouch and reunite him with his son.

"Afro, are you free this Saturday?" Harry, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke and changed the topic to the date. He was so close to the girl that he could almost feel the heat from her body.

Afro used a pestle to crush the scarab into powder, then filtered the powder into the crucible. "I have time. What's wrong?"

"Sirius wrote to say he'll be here on Saturday..."

"Then let's go get him together—" Afro turned around and saw that Ron wanted to pour the powder directly into the crucible without filtering it, "Ron!"

Ron was so frightened that his hands trembled and he almost dropped the filter paper in. Afro took over the rest of Ron's steps and they resumed their small talk.

But no one noticed that a black figure stood silently behind the three of them. Draco coughed but did not attract their attention.

"Aphrodite, is Hermione dating Krum?" Ron, who had nothing to do, rested his chin on his hands and watched Aphrodite brewing the potion seriously, and gossiped about his good friend.

Afro said absentmindedly while tending to his cauldron, "You finally found out—"

"Miss Campbell, although you have a lot of social activities and connections..." A cold voice suddenly came from behind, scaring the three people to jump up on the spot, "But I must warn you, no whispering in Potions class! Gryffindor will deduct ten points!"

Flint and Pansy, who had always been at odds with them, seized this opportunity and laughed with the other Slytherin students in glee.

Snape noticed that Aphrodite was helping Ron make potions, so he said coldly, "Does Miss Campbell want to help Mr. Weasley take the exam?"

Ron blushed and silently took the pestle that belonged to him.

Just as Snape was about to leave, he spotted the newspaper at the bottom with his sharp eyesight. He grabbed the parchment and said, "Still hiding under the table reading magazines? Another ten points from Gryffindor!"

Snape walked over to Harry and looked down at his work. "Potter, don't think that you will become famous and loved by everyone just because you become a warrior -"

"In my opinion, you are just a disgusting boy who ignores all the rules and regulations!" Snape stared at him with his venomous eyes, and his voice became more sinister, "I remind you again--"

"Don't let me catch you breaking into my office again!"

"I didn't!" Harry responded angrily, throwing aside his deaf-mute attitude.

Snape snorted coldly and lowered his voice again, "Don't even think about lying, those are my personal collections, I know who stole them."

Afro knew that Snape was not talking about the making of Polyjuice Potion in their second year, because these things were privately instructed by Dumbledore.

The herbs that were lost this semester were obviously done by Crouch Jr. disguised as Moody.

"Why doesn't the professor doubt his colleagues?"

Snape's unfathomable black eyes glared at Aphrodite fiercely. He could not see the guilty expression on her face, but he could not think of anyone else who needed the ingredients of Polyjuice Potion except Harry and the others.

"Mr. Potter better be careful not to let my Veritaserum drip onto your plate and then spill your deepest secrets in front of the entire student body!"

Snape took out a small crystal bottle from his black robe, which contained a transparent potion.

When Aphrodite saw the legendary truth serum, her eyes lit up, and her fiery eyes frightened Snape, who quickly hid the truth serum back in his robes.
