Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 81 The Location of the Chamber of Secrets

A large cloud floated over to cover the bright moon in the sky, mixed with strong winds, blowing in the spacious lawn of the Hogwarts campus. The Hogwarts Castle on the cliff was brightly lit, but Those flickering candles inexplicably conveyed a sense of fear and uneasiness.

Amostar personally escorted the three distraught little wizards back to the Gryffindor common room. Harry seemed to see that he would do something next. Standing in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady, he asked Professor Brian to help him. let yourself do something,
"It's all because of me—"

Harry didn't dare to look into Ron's eyes, lowered his head and said sadly,

"If I could be more vigilant and not trust that notebook so easily, maybe Ginny wouldn't have to be taken into that secret room, Hagrid wouldn't be taken away by the Ministry of Magic, and Lucius Malfoy wouldn't find a chance to drive him away." Headmaster Dumbledore!"

"It's not your fault, Harry—"

Hermione patted Harry's back softly,

"Many wizards who are more experienced than you are unable to resist the temptation of the mysterious man. We didn't realize that the diary contained evil intentions."

"Hogwarts can't afford to lose another little wizard, Potter—"

Amosta's memory hidden in the dormitory told him some key information, but he didn't mention the specific location of the secret room. He looked at the depressed Harry with a slightly meaningful smile.
"The basilisk in the secret room is not something a young wizard who has not graduated can easily deal with. If you encounter it by accident, remember not to look at it—"

On the way back, Amosta ran into Professor McGonagall outside the school hospital on the fourth floor. She had a furious face and was reprimanding several senior Hufflepuff female students when she saw Amosta coming from a distance , Professor McGonagall stopped angrily, and asked Filch beside him to escort them back to the dormitory.

"These students!"

Professor McGonagall's face was ashen, and he pursed his lips and spit out word by word,

"It's funny how they would sneak out to Gilderoy, hoping he'd help with the heir, and even Albus couldn't do anything about it—"

"It can only be said that Professor Lockhart's previous books are indeed quite seductive."

Amosta shrugged and said, and then, he saw Professor McGonagall took out a lace handkerchief and gently wiped his eyes behind the square-framed lenses, and said in a nasal voice

"-Fudge told me when he came here before that tomorrow the director of the Auror Office, Rufus Scrimgeour, will lead people into the castle to thoroughly investigate Hogwarts and the students and staff in the school
I really hope that the person who did all this in the dark can be ashamed of their actions and take the initiative to take responsibility. I still don't know how to explain to Arthur and Molly that Hogwarts failed to keep their daughter! "

By the time Amosta calmed down Professor McGonagall and returned to the office after collecting the panoramic binoculars he had arranged in the school corridor, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Only half of the screens on the monitoring wall in the office were still working, and the screens from the Gryffindor dormitory to the third floor of the school were all plunged into darkness.

"The third floor?"

Based on this alone, Amosta confirmed the key information. He sat cross-legged on the ground, spread out the panoramic binoculars damaged by the freezing curse in front of him, and began to restore the magic corridors one by one, because Due to the serious damage, it took Amostar a while to finish the job.

call--
When the time came to eleven o'clock, Amosta stood up and took out his magic wand to point it at the panoramic telescope on the ground. Under the traction of the magic power, hundreds of thousands of golden sand-like rays of light gradually gathered in midair to form a frame The only information left in the picture made Amosta narrow his eyes slightly.

Sure enough, apart from Ginny Weasley, there was no one else in the picture!

Amosta watched as Ginny walked out from behind the portrait of the Fat Lady with a black diary in her hand. She showed a deep and sinister smile at the place where the panoramic telescope was arranged on the ceiling of the corridor, and then swung her wand violently. , the originally peaceful picture suddenly fell into shaking, and then went completely dark.

The last place where Ginny appeared was on the third floor. She stood at the corner of the stairs on the third floor and broke Amosta's panoramic binoculars in the same way, and her final whereabouts became a mystery.

Amosta checked the historical images on the second floor and the first floor again, and found that Ginny did not continue to go downstairs, and the last ground she stayed on was indeed the third floor.

This is an interesting thing, what is there on the third floor?
Could it be that the location of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets is there?
Tuk Tuk Tuk!
At the moment when Amosta's thoughts fell into a brief trance, the office door suddenly rang heavily. Judging from the frequency and urgency, the visitor should be in a rather urgent mood.

Although the door has not been opened yet, Amosta has already sensed who is coming from the perspective of magic power, and he can't help but look a little strange.

"Miss Granger?"

Amosta moved her fingers, and the door of the office opened with a click, and Hermione, who almost threw herself on the door, accidentally staggered in.

"Can you explain why you violated the school rules and Professor McGonagall's order and came to my office late at night at this moment of silence?"

"Professor Blaine!"

Normally, if a professor talked to her in a displeased manner, Hermione might have admitted her mistake tremblingly, but now, she completely ignored Professor Brian's raised eyebrows, and ran directly to the In front of Amosta, she restrained herself from pulling Amosta's sleeve with the remaining rationality, but her tone was still extremely urgent,

"Professor, we found the location of the Chamber of Secrets!"

Amosta frowned suddenly, he looked at the little witch seriously, and in just a split second, he judged that Hermione was not lying.

This is really a strange thing. I have already sent them back to the common room of Gryffindor College. Could it be that these tough little guys ran out to search the castle by themselves?

"Tell me about your findings in detail, Miss Granger!"

Now is not the time to dwell on unimportant things, Amosta calmed down and asked directly.

"Huh, that's right, Professor Blaine!"

Hermione was panting heavily, but right now, she didn't have time to ask Professor Brian for a cup of tea. She squeezed her dry lips, and said in a hoarse but fast tone,

"It's Harry, the three of us didn't go back to the dormitory to sleep after returning to the common room. Instead, we discussed the diary of Reed's mysterious man in the lounge. At the beginning, we talked about nothing. Meaningful things, but then, Harry suddenly thought of a very important thing!"

"whats the matter?"

Looking at Hermione whose amber-like eyes suddenly widened, Amosta hurriedly asked.

"--Before, when Harry was communicating with that diary, he overheard the diary saying that 50 years ago, the student who died due to the attack of the basilisk, her last place of death was in a bathroom inside!"

"Go on, Miss Granger!"

Amosta's brows moved slightly, and his tone was obviously excited. The so-called "protagonist" is really a magical species, and all kinds of opportunities are really rushed into their hands!

"The bathroom on the third floor!"

Hermione said decisively,

"There has always been a ghost in that bathroom. We all call her 'Myrtle'. It is the student who died 50 years ago. We got clues from it. Harry opened the entrance to the secret room. He and Mr. Ron One step to save Ginny. Huh, Harry arranged for me to come and inform you of this!"

Amosta's raised shoulders moved back again, he let out a long sigh of relief, and finally smiled,

"Come on, Miss Granger, let's bring that poor little girl back!"
