In This Hogwarts Without a Savior Chapter 185

   Chapter 185 183. Veritaserum

  Jon had no intention of communicating with him at all.

  In the wizarding world, there are many ways to obtain absolutely true information from a person, but most of these methods are beyond the grasp of him and Fred at this stage.

   However, although the professors separated from them, there are still many useful things left in their offices.

   Especially in Lily's office.

She stood upright in the cabinet for storing potions by the wall, and it was filled to the brim, and each door was specially marked, indicating what potion was stored in it, and what kind of effect.

  Many of these are daily-use healing potions, apparently left on purpose by her to prevent the students who sailed alone from getting sick and unable to make potions to take care of themselves.

   Among them, there are also some potions with special effects, and even banned drugs that the Ministry of Magic explicitly prohibits private production and sales.

  Jon took out a very useful bottle of forbidden medicine—Veritaserum after disembarking this time.

  It only needs three drops, and it can let the person who drinks it know everything without saying anything. Generally, Aurors will use this potion for interrogation when dealing with extremely bad criminals.

   Now such interrogation will fall upon themselves.

   Assisted by Fred, he grabbed McNeill's jaw and forced his mouth open.

  The simple-minded temporary Auror felt a huge panic in his heart, he resisted fiercely, and kept yelling.

   "You can't do this! I'm half-breed! I'm protected by the law of blood! Even if I'm guilty, I can only be judged by the Wizengamot! You can't lynch me!"

   But his resistance was meaningless. Jon held a small bottle above McNeil's mouth, then carefully tilted the bottle, and fed three drops of Veritaserum into his mouth.

   This potion is very precious, and its quantity is not large, so Jon uses it sparingly.

  McNeill clearly felt that he was being fed something, but he didn't have any ability to resist at all. Even with constant coughing, he couldn't spit out the veritaserum that had slipped into his esophagus.

   Soon the effect of the medicine took effect.

  McNeil stopped resisting, he opened his mouth slightly, panting, looking like a student waiting to answer a question.

  Jon and Fred looked at each other, and then he raised the magic spell against his throat, and asked in an older and hoarse voice that didn't belong to him.

"May I have your name?"

   "Walton McNeill"

  McNeill's voice was calm but his tone of voice was somewhat vague, as if he was talking in his sleep while falling asleep, and he was completely different from the way he was yelling just now.

   "How can you prove your identity?" Jon continued to ask with narrowed eyes.

   "The inside pocket has my Auror badge."

Fred reached out and groped, and sure enough, he found a metal plate in the inner pocket of his robe, on which not only McNeil's name was engraved, but also his identity in the Auror Command—"Temporary recruitment of Aurors ".

  Jon frowned slightly when he saw this line of text.

   "What is a Temporary Recruitment of Aurors?"

  "The Auror Command has been severely short of manpower recently, and they forced me here. Give me a temporary Auror status and let me work for them."

   "Why is there a shortage of people in the Auror Command? What are the other Aurors doing?"

   "I don't know. Nott knows, but he doesn't want to tell me"

   "Who is Knott?"

   "Not Scarbio. A full-time Auror stationed in Azkaban with me."

  Jon's brows frowned even deeper.

   "Are you the only two of you on this island now?"

"Yes."

   "Have you communicated with the dementors in the castle?"

   "Communication. Nott is in charge."

   "What method does he use? Do you know?"

   "I just came over. No"

  Fred kicked him angrily.

   "Then what's the use of us capturing you!"

"I have no idea."

  Jon held him back. Although his brows were still frowning, he was obviously much calmer than Fred.

"Don't worry, we have to deal with the two Aurors on this island first, otherwise we won't be able to enter that castle with peace of mind. Since all the information we need is on that Auror named Nott, then we We will go to him again later. Before that, let's ask everything we can get from this person.”

  Fred withdrew his feet angrily, while Jon watched McNeill continue to ask questions.

   "How long have you been on this island? How long will it take for someone to change shifts?"

   "We... came here five days ago. No one will come here until a month later."

   "What is this cabin for? Why are you here?"

   "The Ministry of Magic personnel are on the island and out of the island and are also responsible for the operation of the Muggle banishment spell and confusion spell around the prison. Nott asked me to check whether the magic is working normally"

   "Does that Nott always maintain the protection of the Iron Armor Curse?"

"I have no idea."

   "How is his strength?"

"have no idea"

   "Why don't you know anything?"

   "He doesn't trust me"

   "How long does it usually take for you to come to check?"

"five minutes"

  Jon ended his inquiry, he stood up from the ground, his eyes full of thoughts.

"The key lies in this wizard named Nott." He said to Fred, "This Auror named McNeil is just a temporary worker, which is probably why it is so easy for us to attack him. He didn't What kind of professional Auror training have you experienced. The other person is the main person in charge of this prison now."

  Fred nodded.

   "Nick is still staring at him, shall we go back first?"

   "Go back now, we've been delayed for more than five minutes, if it takes longer, maybe it will arouse his vigilance."

   "Then what about this person?"

  Jon looked at McNeil, who raised his wand.

   "Lost in a swoon."

   When McNeil tilted his head, he completely lost consciousness.

   "You give him another stun spell, leave him here first, and wait until we have completed our purpose on this island."

   Then Fred also added a stun spell to ensure that he slept long enough, and then the two put on the invisibility cloak again and began to return the same way.

  When they approached the building, they saw Nick hiding on the edge of the wall.

  Nick also saw them and floated over without a sound.

   "How is your side?"

   "It's fixed, but the Auror in the house is the main thing."
