A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 44 Meeting
Felix found it difficult to understand Professor Lockhart.

He had seen through this man for what he was—a businessman who sold books by making up stories and promoting himself.

As for the magic ability, it has long been returned to the teacher after graduation.

The author's routine is to name the protagonist of the story after himself, and shamelessly use the banner of "autobiography" to collect money.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Muggle world, but the wizarding world is not so open, and to some extent it can even be said to be quite simple.You say in the book that it is your own adventure, and everyone chooses to believe it—and this is suspected of fraud. Once it is revealed, it will basically be ruined.

Didn't he know this himself?Now why are you still jumping like this?And performing in front of some of the best wizards in the British wizarding world?
To be honest, Felix didn't understand at all.

He and Lockhart are completely different people.

"Silence." With Lockhart's arrival, Dumbledore presided over the meeting.

"The second attack happened just an hour ago. It was also petrified, just like Mrs. Norris." Dumbledore said slightly heavily.

"But the nature of this time is completely different. The victim is a little wizard, a first-year freshman, which means—" His blue eyes looked around oppressively, "The secret room was really opened. "

"Hogwarts is facing a crisis!"

All the professors became dignified.

Next, Professor McGonagall told the information about the last time the chamber of secrets was opened.She pursed her lips and began to tell about that period of history: "50 years ago, the secret room was opened once."

"One student died, her name was Myrtle Elizabeth Warren, and yes, she remains at Hogwarts to this day as a ghost on campus."

"However, since then, the Chamber of Secrets has been closed until now—"

"So," Lockhart couldn't wait to express his opinion, "the attack is over? I mean, a student has already been recruited, isn't it? I have seen many similar cases, such as the water monster in Morgan Lake, Appears every 30 years, and since I gave the residents there my homemade amulets, they haven't been bothered anymore..."

Professor McGonagall's lips were tightened, and she said in a very rare voice: "I must remind you, Professor Lockhart! Colin Creevey was only petrified, he did not lose his life."

Dumbledore followed McGonagall's words: "Yes, none of us know whether the monster will attack or not, and whether the consequences are just petrification. If you have any suggestions, you can put them forward."

Professor McGonagall said: "At present, I have arranged for the prefects to patrol, and it is strictly forbidden for young wizards to go to remote places. For young wizards in the first and second grades, they have to line up to and from get out of class, and try to minimize their actions alone."

"Very well, Minerva," Dumbledore said approvingly.

"Principal Dumbledore," Felix felt the need to reveal the information he had, "my focus has always been on the Chamber of Secrets. Surrounding the Chamber of Secrets, there are three key words—"

He glanced at everyone, "Unknown monster, the heir of Slytherin, the location of the Chamber of Secrets."

"As long as we know any point, we can sort out the truth."

Dumbledore folded his slender fingers and seemed to be thinking, "Go on, Felix."

"Unknown monster, why don't we associate it with Slytherin? The symbol of Slytherin is a snake, maybe this monster is also a snake, so the problem of how it appeared in the castle is also solved - with the help of Hogg Watts' pipeline."

Everyone thought about it, Snape spoke, and said in his flat, indifferent tone: "Felix, the symbol of Slytherin may be a snake, but it's only because he is a Parseltongue. If you do a little research on him, you will find that he is a master of bloodline research, and the magical bloodlines he studies are beyond your imagination."

"But we can't rule that out, can we?"

"Oh! That unknown monster murdered a witch 50 years ago, and 50 years later, all it did was petrify..." Snape stared at Felix with his stone-like eyes , "If I understand correctly, Felix, it's not the same monster?"

Felix shook his head, "I can't explain this either, so my opinion can only be used for your reference."

He continued: "Heir of Slytherin, there are two possibilities that I can think of. Active and passive."

"Perhaps this heir is sober, and he knows what he is doing, such as inheriting Slytherin's will and expelling the little wizard from the Muggle family. But it is also possible that he accidentally obtained the Slytherin relic and was controlled by it .”

Dumbledore raised his head, "Very insightful, you have broadened our thinking."

He was thoughtful, "We ignored this in the past, it seems that we need to strengthen the ideological education of students."

Felix's "manipulation theory" has attracted many professors' discussions. He waited for a while and continued: "As for the location of the secret room, I have no way of knowing. Maybe I can ask about the castle's portrait and ghost?"

After a long silence, an elderly professor hesitated and said, "I shouldn't have said it, but I think Hogwarts is in a critical period, and any clue is very important..."

Felix looked at the old professor. His name was Sylvanus Kettleburn. He was his protection of magical animals teacher at school, but he was said to have plans to retire.

Known for his penchant for research and caring for dangerous creatures, the professor set an unprecedented record, undergoing 62 detentions during his tenure at the school.

Let Felix comment, it is another version of Hagrid.

At this moment, Kettleburn said: "That kid is definitely not a bad person, but let me tell you, if he is like me... he made a mistake out of curiosity," he paused, and said a name: "Rubus Hay grid."

"It wasn't him, Sylva," Dumbledore said firmly, "I was the school's Transfiguration professor, and I knew he was innocent, but there was no evidence...Under pressure, Headmaster Dippet fired him .”

"It was a serious mistake and we didn't catch the real culprit."

At the end of the meeting, Dumbledore assigned a series of tasks. At present, he can only focus on prevention. In addition to conducting daily inspections, he also appeals to the little wizards in class not to trust any nonsense about magic items.

When Felix went out, he saw Lockhart talking to Dumbledore.

The headmaster's expression is very intriguing.
