Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 73 Violation

The magic wand in Amosta's palm suddenly began to spin rapidly like a windmill, and it has maintained this state without stopping.

"What does this mean, Professor Blaine!"

Hermione looked nervously at the squinting Amosta, expecting an explanation.

"This means," Amosta stopped trying once he grasped the wand, and said calmly, gazing at a small piece of exposed water pipe,
"Salazar Slytherin cast many powerful spells on his chamber of secrets, including preventing location, which made my plan to find the chamber of secrets directly through magic come to naught.
To be honest, this matter is quite troublesome. Hogwarts Castle has gone through thousands of years, and no one knows how many times the sewer pipes in the castle have undergone renovations. Even the original design drawings of the castle may have been lost now. "

Amosta's words made Harry and Hermione obviously disappointed. In any case, this was the closest they were to the monster in the Chamber of Secrets since the Chamber of Secrets incident.

In the dimness, Harry frowned and stared at the water pipe. For some reason, ever since he was in the office just now, when Professor Brain guessed that the sound he had heard all this time was made by a snake, he had always felt a slight sense of incongruity. Feeling like he forgot something important.

"Then what to do now, Professor,"

Hermione didn't notice Harry's strange silence, she asked worriedly,
"Should we tell Headmaster Dumbledore about this discovery?"

"Not for now, Miss Granger—"

Amosta rejected the proposal without hesitation. Just kidding, he doesn't have to be the first to discover the secret room, but at least he must be ahead of Dumbledore. Mythical creature, what should I use for business?
Amosta jumped off half of the wall, waved the wall back to its original shape,
"The pipes in the walls are connected to the sewage system of the entire castle, unless there is no other way, I try not to drill into the pipes one by one to find them under the bubble head curse.
In the next few days, I plan to go around the library more, first, to find out what species the snake in the secret room is, and second, to see if I can be lucky enough to find the architectural drawings of the original construction of Hogwarts Castle, although There is a high probability that the location of the secret room will not be marked on the drawings, but at least some clues may confirm its approximate location. "

"Is there anything I can do to help, Professor Blaine?" Hermione asked expectantly.

"Of course, Miss Granger—"

Amosta led him to the first floor, and when he heard the question, he smiled and said,
"I've heard other professors say that finding key information from the vast sea of ​​text is your forte, Miss Granger, you can participate in the two things I just mentioned, but I try not to occupy you usual study time
If I can't find the answer by next Saturday, you can come to the library and help-"

Because of the Defense Against the Dark Arts practice class in the second half of Friday, Ron lay on the bed in the dormitory for almost two full days. At this moment, he no longer dared to insist that he did not deal with the three grades Eight-eyed spider is a lucky thing.

"I'm beginning to agree with Malfoy's assessment of Professor Brayne, Harry—"

When the thoughtful Harry returned to the dormitory, Ron stared at the curtains of the four-poster bed and said weakly,
"Who would a normal person carry that kind of thing with him, and show it to the little wizards to deal with that terrible dark creature, it should be an Auror!"

After Harry narrated everything that happened tonight, Ron, who was in a state of half-dead state just now, immediately took another look. His eyes flashed with longing, and he hurriedly asked,
"Did Professor Blaine tell you in detail how to hide the magic power in the eyes?"

Sometimes, Ron's thick lines really make people feel helpless, Harry said angrily,
"It's definitely not a simple magic, Ron, even a genius like Professor Bryan, it took quite a while to master the magic he designed himself!"

Ron curled his lips. He looked at Seamus, Neville and Dean who were chatting and laughing together, and his tone became more serious.
"Regardless of whether the old lunatic in Slytherin is hiding a snake in the Chamber of Secrets, Harry, I think that as long as Professor Brayne is still in school, his heirs will not dare to continue to come out to do activities. With Hufflepuff's Justin Fenriely back to normal, this should be over for good!"

"I don't disagree with Professor Blaine's inference, Ron"

Harry frowned and whispered,

"I just always feel that there are some things that I have overlooked. And, I think that before the school board allows Professor Brian to leave Hogwarts, he'd better find the secret room, otherwise, if that monster makes trouble again one day, And who are we supposed to count on. I think something's wrong there, Ron!"

Harry, who was lying on the bed, had a flash of light in his mind. He jumped up from the bed with his eyes wide open. Ignoring Ron's astonished gaze, he rushed directly to his desk, opened his schoolbag and rummaged through it. stand up.

Just now, Harry suddenly thought of one thing, that is, he had actually seen the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, in the memory that Tom Riddle had shown him!
It was a huge, hairy low figure, with tangled black legs, many shining eyes, and two pincers as sharp as knives. In any case, the thing did not look like a snake!

What went wrong? When he opened the notebook, Harry raised his eyebrows and looked serious.

Professor Bryan's speculation didn't sound like a problem, it perfectly explained why no one could hear that terrifying voice except himself. Through the tube, who would have thought that the monster would move in such a stealthy way?

But the unknown past that Riddle revealed to himself also has an irrefutable fact, that is, after Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts, there was no more attack in the school, and even Riddle himself Because of this, he was awarded a special contribution award by the school.

"Harry, I think you'd better get rid of this book. I'm always thinking this Tom Riddle is a bit of a villain—"

Ron, who was sitting on the bed, frowned as he watched Harry spread the notebook on the table, and then picked up the quill non-stop.

"Don't be silly, Ron, Riddle's memory tells us something very valuable, doesn't it?"

Harry said without turning his head, almost the moment the ink dripped onto the book, the beautiful handwriting appeared on the blank paper again.

"--Hello, Harry Potter, I thought that after knowing the truth about the Chamber of Secrets incident, I had been forgotten by you in a corner of the bookshelf, and what was waiting for me was another 50 years of dark dust. By the way, I think Ruburt Hagrid should stay in this school, have you told other people the truth about the period in my memory?"

Harry blushed, but he didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with Riddle. Instead, he straight-forwardly told what he had discovered tonight.

"--Riddle, do you think you made a mistake? In my opinion, Professor Brian's guess is more reasonable. However, although I didn't see the monster you showed me in memory, But obviously not a snake?"

This time, the notebook didn't answer Harry's question right away. It seemed that what Harry said also caused it to fall into confusion. Until 2 minutes later, the notebook displayed its own question in a messy handwriting.

"Can you tell me about that Professor Blaine in detail?"
