A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 36
The next day, Felix was in the hallway where the attack had taken place the night before, and was not surprised to meet Filch.

The corridor was obviously cleaned by him, and the water on the ground disappeared.An empty chair leans against the wall where the words "The Chamber of Secrets is Opened" are written.

At this moment, with his back turned to Felix, he was vigorously scrubbing the words on the wall with detergent, but it seemed to be in vain.

"Mr. Filch."

Filch turned his head, his eyeballs were protruding, his face was flushed abnormally, and he was still muttering, but when he saw Felix, he still greeted him politely: "Professor Haip."

"I'll take a look at the scene and maybe find some clues."

Felix didn't have much dealings with this Filch when he was in school. At that time, he didn't have Mrs. Norris as his helper, and he was completely immune to his threat by virtue of his excellent Disillusionment Charm.

Filch gave up his seat and stood by the side in a daze.He just blew himself up as a Squib yesterday, and he didn't want to stay for a second longer when facing this genius professor today.

"Then, then I'll leave first, professor, I have something to do..."

"You go to work," Felix replied, "Oh, yes." He waved his wand, and the writing on the wall suddenly faded.

"what?"

He was a little surprised, and quickly moved to the wall, looking up and down at the writing. "It seems to be a kind of mandatory magic, but it's not a permanent sticking spell." Felix pointed at the wall with his wand, and soon, the writing disappeared.

"Thank you, thank you." Filch blushed, said something hastily, and left quickly without even bringing cleaning tools.

Felix began to search around, and soon, he found a clue.

He squatted on the ground, tapped the ring on his left hand with his wand, and a large magnifying glass appeared in his hand.

Felix carefully observed the ground, where there was a scorched mark.

"What is this? How did it appear?"

Felix raised his head and looked at the girls' bathroom directly opposite. Without thinking too much, he quickly pushed the copper handle away and walked in.

It was a rather dark, dank place, with stained walls, waterlogged floors, peeling tiles over a sink, and the only light source was a few darkened candles.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Felix kept looking around.

A voice suddenly came from the innermost single room, "Who's there?" Immediately, a gloomy ghost rushed out, with pearl-colored glasses covering most of her face.

She looked at Felix, clearly recognizing the professor.

The ghost was dumbfounded, and looked behind him in disbelief. That's right, this is his chassis, the girls' bathroom...

"Teach, Professor?"

"Hello, Myrtle." Felix's voice was quite calm.He's here to investigate, he has a valid excuse, well, that's it.

Myrtle stared at him blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly let out a scream, and the whole ghost flew back into the toilet bowl, and he could even hear a crisp splash.

Felix: "..." As for it?I just wanted to ask you a question, but I tried my best not to be embarrassed.

Felix said, "Myrtle, I know you're here, did you see the attack yesterday..."

"No! Nothing!" Myrtle yelled from the cubicle.

Immediately, when he heard footsteps not far away, he was terrified. He quickly put a disillusionment spell on himself, and quickly left the bathroom, passing by a red-haired girl.

It's not scary to be spotted by a ghost, but if you're bumped into by a student...

His fame will be ruined.

In the next few days, he cooperated with several professors when he was not in class, and searched the entire castle, but naturally found nothing.

One day in the auditorium, Felix was still thinking about it while eating lunch.

"It all started with the Dark Lord's Horcruxes, but knowing that doesn't seem to help... I don't know who the heir is, where the Chamber of Secrets is, and where the Horcruxes are hidden."

"The Chamber of Secrets, Slytherin, heir, petrification...these are obviously key words. But how to connect them?"

Felix always felt that he was very close to the truth, but he was separated by a layer of fog.

"Slytherin...snake?"

He tried hard to recall, trying to uncover the long-sealed memory.He seemed to see something, "Harry" was fighting with a giant snake.But his memory was rather vague, and he wasn't sure if he had misremembered it. In his impression, "Harry" seemed to have dealt with a large group of dementors by himself.

How can this be?Ordinary adult wizards can't do it either!

Also, how could a dementor attack a school?
But Felix quickly reminded himself that in the magical world, anything is possible.Especially the existence of the "protagonist".

"So, it's very likely that it's true, a giant snake that caused Mrs. Norris' petrification." Felix deduced further along this conjecture.

But again he ran into a problem.

What snake has the power to petrify?
All Felix could think of was Medusa, but the magical creature was extinct.

"It can't be ruled out that Slytherin has carried out blood grafting... Judging from his surviving notes, his research on the magical blood is very in-depth."

He didn't figure it out until after lunch.However, he soon had a new idea, collecting the rumors about the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts over the years, and screening them one by one.

Maybe the truth is hidden in the rumors.

……

Three days later, Felix stood on the eighth floor of the castle opposite a tapestry of "the troll beat Barnabas foolishly", watching a silver door slowly appear with a strange expression on his face.

That's it, did you find it?
Hesitating slightly, he tapped his chest lightly with his wand, and the light flashed across his wrist, ankle, and chest, and then he stepped in.

This is an oversized garbage storage room, and all kinds of discarded items are piled up in mountains, broken quills, old books, damaged looking glasses... He also saw the Snitch with half of its wings missing.

He walked around cautiously, but found no clues.

"A hidden room?" He couldn't imagine that the proud Slytherin would put the Chamber of Secrets here.

"However, this room is very hidden. Its magic must be very interesting. I will study it another day." Felix walked out of the room and glanced at it with some reluctance. The silver door had quietly disappeared.

the other side--

The trio is also working hard to study the secrets of the Chamber of Secrets, and the "effort" here mainly refers to Hermione Granger.

After a few days of looking through the materials to no avail, and the rental list of "Hogwarts, A School History" was also queued for two weeks, this Gryffindor witch finally raised her hand to ask a question in History of Magic class, for the benefit of everyone, Gained valuable secret room information.

Poor Professor Binns was obliged to break away from the course schedule, and to speak of "myths and legends" while all eyes were on him, much to his annoyance.After this episode, his otherwise sluggish, dry voice picks up speed—making his sessions even more hypnotic than ever.

The young wizards who were originally full of energy fell down again, and their faces quickly became dazed and demented.
