Chapter 28:

Sure enough, as Wilkes expected, when he wanted to go to the Hogwarts library early the next morning to look for a book on potions, Snape grabbed his shoulders and dragged him away.

They entered a "little black room".

"Professor Snape, how many times do I need to say that I was in the common room all over the night? And I don't know what you are talking about." Wilkes said calmly, pretending to be innocent.

"Is it..." Snape's indifferent eyes revealed serious suspicion.

The big news last night happened on the periphery of the Forbidden Forest, it was impossible to cover it up, and it was certainly going to be discovered.

Snape was looking at Wilkes with suspicion, and Wilkes almost subconsciously felt whether he had made a mistake this time, after all, he was only a first-grade student.

"No! No! It must have something to do with him!" Snape suddenly said in secret, staring at Wilkes more suspiciously.

Wilkes is not an ordinary first-grade student, and he cannot be fooled by his innocent appearance.

"Sly little fox." Snape gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do with him.

The professors paid great attention to what happened last night. All the professors were alarmed that night, and they went to check the place where the Forbidden Forest changed overnight.

I do not know, I was shocked when I saw it!

It is as if a great battle just happened over here, hundreds of eight-eyed giant spiders, all of them have the size of a horse, with broken limbs spread over a range of 100 meters!

Hundreds of eight-eyed giant spiders!

Even the well-informed professors were surprised. Although they knew that there were eight-eyed giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest, but they did not know that there were so many!

Moreover, they had just died here! Approximately, there are more than three hundred heads around them.

At first, the professors thought that this was the internal fight of the eight-eyed giant spiders. After all, the cruelty of the eight-eyed giant spider is unimaginable; sometimes they even devour their own same kind, which is widely known throughout the wizarding world.

It seems that the scene in front of you is inexplicable.

In addition, Wilkes had already cleaned up all traces before he left, and the eight-eyed giant spiders that died here were not killed by magic, which proves this.

However, only Snape, who was a potion master, noticed one thing, and he was stunned.

That is, all the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider has been collected!

This is impossible, even if the eight-eyed giant spider fights, it is impossible for hundreds of eight-eyed giant spiders to leave no venom behind them. This is obviously being collected.

However, if it is manufactured, then all of this is more complicated.

These are hundreds of eight-eyed giant spiders!

"What method was used to kill them without leaving a trace..." Looking at Wilkes in front of him, Snape kept thinking about this, which troubled him all night.

From the beginning, Snape had a feeling that this matter must have something to do with Wilkes!

"Professor, if it's okay, I'll leave first, Hermione has made an appointment with me, so I should not be late for her," Wilkes said to Snape.

But in his heart, he was smiling.

He likes to watch Snape trials to get him caught, but that seems impossible.

It took Snape a while before he took a deep breath and said indifferently, "Hope you will never show your 'tail', Mr. Wilkes."

Snapped!

With that said Snape grabbed Wilkes by the shoulder and threw him out of his potion room, closing the door with a "touch".

Wilkes stood outside the door, shrugged, and left toward the first floor of Hogwarts Castle.

As for the library, he intends to go there again in the afternoon. After being thrown by Snape, it was almost noon. When Hermione went back to the common room last night, she seemed to say that she had something to look for him at noon, so he should look for her first.

At this time, Hermione usually reads in the lobby of the first floor.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived in the lobby, Wilkes saw Hermione, flipping through a "heavy" book.

But Wilkes frowned, not because of the book, but because of the two people sitting opposite Hermione at this time, seeming to be talking to her.

"Ron and... Harry." Wilkes recognized the "partners" at a glance.

...

"Hermione, what did you run into last night?" Sitting opposite Hermione, Harry, with short black hair and a beautiful face, asked Hermione with concern.

Ron, with red hair and freckles on his face, was jealous and sarcastically said: "I guess, she went out to play with that Wilkes again."

"They are always together. I really don't see anything good about him."

Seeing Hermione and Harry suddenly looking at him at the same time, Ron reduced his tone and whispered, "Isn't that right?"

With a "ting" sound, Hermione stood up suddenly, freaking out Ron and Harry.

"Wilkes!" Hermione called subconsciously. She had already seen Wilkes walking here.

However, after the call, Hermione blushed, looking at Ron and Harry who was sitting across from her and then slowly sat down again, feeling... as if she was impulsive.

Wilkes walked over, smiling, just glanced at Harry and Ron again on the way, then stopped paying attention to them and ignored them.

He had touched Harry several times in order to test whether he would trigger the system, but the result was negative.

From then on, he did not bother himself to talk to Harry.

The system can't be triggered, so what is the point of contact?

As for Ron?

Wilkes did not even bother to put his energy on him, as that would only make him feel that he had a headache.

If it had not been for Wilkes's eyes, they were just a group of children who had not grown up, or if he had spoken badly behind his back several times, Wilkes would have punished him a long time ago.

Wilkes ignored Ron's jealous gaze and sat beside Hermione calmly as he should.

"Hermione, you were looking for me last night, is something went wrong?" Wilkes said, resting his chin in one hand and staring at Hermione with interest.
