A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 25
The study time of four people in the library, in general, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

At least when someone raises a question about learning, the other three can express their opinions without being speechless.

Owen dubbed this scene a "student seminar", which was unanimously rejected by the other three.Such a shame-ridden name is so stupidly effervescent.

"By the way, do you know the latest rumor?" Hermione suddenly lowered her voice, "It came from Hufflepuff..."

Owen suddenly looked up at her, his eyes burning, waiting for the next step.Well, it feels like I finally met the NPC who issued the mission!

Under Owen's eager gaze, Hermione raised her face slightly, and said quickly: "This is actually just a rumor that has not been confirmed. I heard that someone found an omniscient fax machine in the castle, um , is a Muggle machine..."

"It only appears and disappears suddenly around midnight at night. When someone finds it, they can ask it a question and always get the correct answer."

Hearing this, the book in Owen's hand fell on the table with a "bang", and the sound echoed in the silent library, attracting Mrs. Pince's stare full of warning.

But he can't care about these anymore... If this rumor is true, God knows what trouble it will cause!
If this fax machine could really answer all questions, it could have messed everything up, since there is still a Voldemort hiding in Hogwarts!
It's okay if Dumbledore got some answers from it, but what if it's Voldemort?If he knows how to overcome the side effects of Horcruxes, and restore his brain that has been split into idiots, he will become very troublesome in the future... Or, if he learns how to kill Harry, or even knows Harry was actually half of his Horcrux, and the savior was directly destroyed.

Or, Voldemort may also get a better way to perfectly obtain his own body, or find out that Professor Snape is actually an undercover agent... The answers to some questions may even allow him to have a way to kill Dumbledore !
Although the impact of these things on Owen is not too great, after all, his identity is born with the right to choose, but he obviously does not like a dark future that is caught in endless wars, and he needs a period of time to grow steadily.

Owen didn't know how far the fax machine could go, once it really knew everything?That means that everything Owen knows will kick off the prelude to collapse!
As long as it says something like "Owen Shafik is the key person who knows a lot of inside information" to those who are interested, Owen can imagine that he will face huge troubles.

"This broom star physique is really brewing a big event, this time it's really going to kill people!" Owen was so crazy that he wanted to hit the table for the first time.

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down: "Huh, the most urgent thing is to find a way to recover that damn fax machine, before it causes irreparable things!"

"Next, use all the power you can..." He moved his fingers unconsciously, and a poker card quickly appeared and disappeared in his hand, "There is also good news, that is, this fax machine is not like the ones in the past. The source of the anomaly is hidden so deeply, as long as you find it, the matter will be solved."

"In short, do your best." If you really can't do anything, then you can only show it badly.

The three people on the side didn't notice Owen's brainstorm at the moment, and Hermione was still talking in a low voice: "Actually, I think this rumor is completely nonsense. You know, Muggle machines will It was disturbed and malfunctioned, of course, it may have been transformed by magic..."

"I've read a lot of books about Hogwarts, including "Hogwarts: A School History", and there has never been a book that records anything like it in the castle. It is obviously new. Yes, but you think, how can there be omniscient things? Maybe it is an evil thing that makes people who see it think it knows everything..."

Owen nodded secretly, and he hoped so too, so that he wouldn't have such a headache.

"I don't think it's true either. There may be unfathomable risks hidden behind all incomprehensible things." Daphne said calmly.Coming from an ancient wizarding family, she is well-informed and understands the dangers of those weird things better than anyone else.

"However, since the rumors are so clear, it must have some credibility." Harry seemed a little excited, "I mean, there must be magic that can do this, right? Even if it's just Know part of..."

"No magic can do such a thing!" said Hermione sternly, her voice involuntarily growing louder, "Don't try to find it, Harry, that thing could be dangerous, you could be deceived, Misleading, being lured into doing something wrong! And it's against school rules!"

"Hermione is right, Harry. Many dark magic items are always very attractive. When you are desperate for it, it means you have fallen into its trap." Daphne said slowly, looking calm Calmly, "It will lure you deeper and deeper until it is irretrievable."

"Okay, but I don't think Hogwarts has such dangerous things, right?" Harry argued, "All the books I've read say that Hogwarts is magic The safest place in the world!"

"Hogwarts is not peaceful, Harry." Owen gave him a meaningful look, "Have you forgotten about the sorting?"

If there is nothing to be suspicious of, it becomes the safest place if there is something to do. Sure enough, the savior's mind becomes a display when he becomes reckless.

"I don't know if your protagonist aura will still be useful in the future..." Owen muttered in his heart.Once that fax machine exploded, all the future he knew could collapse.

"I don't forget, but they're not the same!" said Harry.

"The sorting thing? What's that?" Hermione asked.

"That's not what we're talking about!" said Harry. "The point is, if there's even a chance that the fax machine is real..."

"It's against the rules to go out and wander around in the middle of the night! You may be caught, deducted points, and placed in confinement!" Hermione's eyes widened.

"I know, but if you think about it, if you can get an answer, it's a violation of the rules..." Harry said indifferently.

Hermione took a deep breath, hugged her shoulders and turned her head angrily, her cheeks puffed up slightly: "Then it's up to you, you're not Gryffindor anyway..."

They talked too loudly, Mrs. Pince stood by their desk with a livid face, and drove them out of the library with a feather duster in her hand.

……

At lunch time, the auditorium was noisy.Rumors about the fax machine had spread, and Hufflepuff students rarely became the focus of attention. A large group of people gathered around the long Hufflepuff table, wanting to get news from familiar classmates.

"I, I was the first to find out! That rumor is absolutely true!" Hufflepuff's Quidditch team captain Zacharias Smith said with a flushed face, "I asked the first question ..." At this point, his expression was about to cry.

"What did you ask?"

"I asked it, what are you?" Smith took out a piece of white paper from his school bag, on which was neatly printed with ink.

A group of curious little wizards passed each other to watch, and Owen also leaned over to take a look, and saw clearly the above content:

"I am a truth fax machine, you ask me to answer, the rules are as follows:
"23. The mantra fax machine only appears from 1:[-] to [-]:[-] every night, and the location is random.

"Second, the person who finds the truth fax machine can ask a question. Each person can only get the answer to one question per year, and only one person can make an inquiry every night. After the question and answer is completed, the fax machine will enter a hidden state and wait for the next night. .

"Third, the mantra fax machine never lies. If the inquirer asks a question that the fax machine cannot answer, the fax machine will not give an answer, and the inquirer can continue to ask the next question."

Owen squinted his eyes and stroked his chin with his index finger: "The truth fax machine? It seems that it doesn't know everything, and there are many restrictions... It's a little better than I imagined, but it's just a little bit."

The fax machine will hide after answering a question every night, which obviously makes it more difficult for Owen to find it, because he has to ensure that he finds it before others!

The little wizards were chirping and discussing, and a little Hufflepuff witch said excitedly: "I promise it will be useful! I asked the Transfiguration test this week, and it's not bad at all!"

"Anyway, I found a secret passage with a fax machine!" A male student said proudly, and then stabbed his companion next to him, "Marco, didn't you ask about it, your crush... um..." He His mouth was covered by his companion.

Listening to these discussions, Owen twitched his eyebrows slightly.Such a powerful fax machine, you use it to ask these questions?Sure enough, children are still very innocent.

He returned to the Slytherin table, thinking hard about his next move.
