Chapter 311 An Attempt at the Room of Requirement

Speaking of this, Sherlock couldn't help but cast his gaze on Snape.

He couldn't help but subconsciously began to recall, in the original book, Risnape went to be an undercover agent inside the Death Eaters, and how did he gain Voldemort's trust?

After all, he had stayed in Hogwarts for more than ten years, and an ordinary excuse would not convince the other party so easily.

But now is obviously not the time to think about these things, and Moody has already followed his train of thought.

"If, as Sherlock said, Karkaroff returned to the mysterious man because of some relationship, then what he wants to plan must be beyond our imagination."

"It must not be easy for someone who betrayed him so thoroughly before to be forgiven."

Dumbledore said quietly.

"Don't jump to conclusions, this is just Sherlock's speculation. So far, except for the few vague words he said to Severus, there is no evidence to show that he was really accepted by Voldemort again. gone."

"Besides, since the beginning of this semester, you have been staring at him. Have you noticed any strange behaviors by him?"

Moody frowned.

"No, he seldom comes to Hogwarts Castle except for normal competition events, and basically stays on his ship. I have no reason to get on that ship, but he can't do much in it. There are things that matter."

The office fell silent, Dumbledore rubbed his temples exhaustedly, and he sighed.

"Barty's whereabouts have not been found yet. So far, no one is alive or dead. As a result, the problem in the castle has not been resolved. The matter of Karkaroff needs you to take the trouble to keep an eye on it, Sif The same goes for Les, if he finds out what you said again, you should pay more attention to your answer."

Regarding this, Moody said solemnly, "I will always watch him."

Snape also nodded expressionlessly.

They both have their own tasks, but Sherlock has always been an idler.

After leaving Dumbledore's office, it was completely dark.

Sherlock didn't go back to his office, but went directly to the tapestry on the eighth floor of the castle that said "the troll beat Barnabas with a club".

He wandered back and forth in front of the blank wall opposite the tapestry, thinking silently.

"I need a room with a Horcrux."

Then a door appeared in front of him, Sherlock pulled down the handle and pushed the door and walked in, but the room was pitch black and there was nothing.

But at the same time he stepped into the Room of Requirement, the protective magic imprint on Sherlock's left arm produced a strong burning sensation again.

Since capturing Fiddlesticks from here, Sherlock has basically come to the Room of Requirement every time, looking for the room that may hide the Horcrux.

But now it has been three or four months, but he still has no results.

The Room of Response can theoretically provide an infinite number of rooms, and the Horcrux hidden inside will only be in one of them.

Sherlock could only try his best to think in the room close to the answer. Moreover, Hogwarts was full of events this semester. Even if he didn't have any specific tasks, he didn't have much free time to do experiments here for a long time.

After several failed attempts, he left the Room of Requirement again helplessly.

The day of the second competition event is also getting closer.

Finally, two weeks before the start of the competition, Harry let go of his grievances against Cedric, listened to his advice, and sneaked into the male prefect's bathroom one night.

There is a huge bath in there, which is the privilege of the prefect.

The password to enter the door was also secretly told to him by Cedric, who himself was Hufflepuff's prefect.

Sinking to the bottom of the water with the golden egg, and then opening the golden egg, Harry heard a completely different scream from the previous one.

There was a singing sound from the golden eggs, the song roughly said that they took something important from Harry, and right at the place where the singing sounded, Harry's task was to rescue his precious thing.

He finally had some clues about the second event, but it was obviously not enough.

However, his luck did not disappear. The ghost myrtle wandering around at night helped Harry further solve the puzzle and let him figure out what creatures he was going to deal with underwater.

Right across from Harry in this prefect's bathroom was a portrait of a mermaid posing and showing off its fins.

This is the only creature that can move freely in the water and can sing.

Having obtained all the clues in the golden egg, Harry came back from the bathroom with a full load. He was wearing an invisibility cloak and holding the golden egg in one hand. When he was about to go upstairs and return to the Gryffindor lounge, the two figures who were arguing also appeared. Just then, he walked up to Harry.

"You should answer me, Severus, after all we are in the same situation, we are both grasshoppers on the same rope."

Karkaroff didn't have the wolf-like cunning and coldness of the past at all. His tone seemed a little impatient, and he kept urging the people around him to answer his questions.

Wearing a black robe, under the light of the torches on the castle wall, Snape, who looked like a big living bat, had a stiff expression on his face, and it seemed that he didn't want to pay much attention to him.

"We are not grasshoppers on a rope, Igor, you are a betrayer, no matter which side you are on, but I am not, I have never betrayed anyone."

Harry was squatting in front of the stairs wearing an invisibility cloak, he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that the wind brought by his walking would startle the two people who were arguing in front of him.

In fact, even if he could leave, Harry didn't really want to miss this secret conversation.

He had never liked Snape because he was always targeting himself, whether in class or after class.

Although he seemed to have a very complicated relationship with his mother, Harry also asked Lily specifically for this, but Lily didn't tell him any inside information.

And whenever he asked about Snape, Lily always had that complicated look on her face.

It is mixed with helplessness, sadness, nostalgia and gratification.
Harry always felt that there was a story in it, but Lily didn't tell him and he couldn't ask more. He just listened to her telling himself that Snape is not a bad person now.

Well, is it a bad guy, Harry doesn't know.

What he knew was that no matter whether it was a good guy or a bad guy, Snape couldn't have a good opinion of him.
