Connor's Hogwarts

"Connor, where were you just now? I was just looking for you."

Outside the school hospital, Connor and Dumbledore were talking secretly.

Only half an hour after Harry was attacked, Connor approached Dumbledore. Connor could not stay in the girls' bathroom all the time. After handing over the surveillance work to Conan, Connor left. .

Because there may be another way to break the situation on Dumbledore's side, and Connor has a backup plan!

"Professor, let's not talk about Harry being attacked. Just now, at the same time that Harry was attacked by the big snake, some of the magic paintings I left in the school were destroyed by someone."

"Oh?" Dumbledore pushed his half-moon eyes, "What's going on? Please elaborate."

"Professor, look at this." Connor handed the Facebook in his hand to Dumbledore. The surveillance video of the entrance to the secret room suddenly opening and closing automatically was playing on it. Connor's tone was a little urgent: "Someone activated this mechanism. , and then entered this secret passage. I carefully observed this mechanism just now and found that there was a small snake carved on the side of a copper faucet."

Connor showed another photo to Dumbledore, "And I just asked Myrtle who was in the bathroom. She said that she heard the voice of snakes when the secret passage was opened."

Dumbledore's eyes suddenly became profound. He didn't dwell on such trivial matters as why Connor installed a camera in front of the girls' bathroom. He raised his head and looked at Connor: "So...what do you mean?"

"I mean, I think there is an inevitable connection between Harry's attack and this secret passage that was suddenly opened. I think it is very necessary to find out. So, Professor, do you know Parselang? I think this The mechanism requires snake language to open, I want to ask you for a favor."

That's right, Connor's back-up plan is to sue! old! division!

Connor is not a fool of Gryffindor. He has no interest in any grand adventure, and he does not think that the responsibility of finding the Chamber of Secrets lies with him.

Since Connor believes that the basilisk is dangerous, he will do everything possible to eliminate the danger at its source.

In order to achieve his goal, Connor will not talk about witchcraft with that stinky diary. With a tool like Dumbledore here, if he doesn't need it now, then when?

Dumbledore looked at Connor deeply and said, "Okay, I believe you, Connor, but I need a detailed explanation from you later."

"I do know a little bit about snake language, and my intuition tells me that this secret passage is not simple. Let's go there quickly."

Then Dumbledore responded simply, and the next moment, the two of them appeared in the girls' bathroom at the same time.

"Miss Myrtle, could you please leave for a moment? We have some important things to deal with."

Dumbledore said to the frightened Myrtle in a gentlemanly manner. Myrtle nodded tremblingly, glanced at Connor reluctantly, and jumped into the toilet with a "pop", causing a pool of water ripples.

Connor pointed to the sink in front of him and said: "Professor, this is it. The inside of this building has been enchanted. I have used magic to explore the situation inside the wall. It is all solid concrete. It probably requires the correct password." Only then can the secret passage be truly opened.”

"Okay, let me try." Dumbledore stepped forward, and when he spoke again, he spoke pure snake talk.

But Dumbledore [hissed] for a long time, but there was still no movement in this secret passage.

"." Dumbledore was silent. He turned and asked, "Connor, what do you think the secret language will be?"

".Open the door? Open? It should mean the same thing, right? Are there many words in the snake language?"

Dumbledore hissed again, but there was still no response from the secret passage.

"No, are you sure the spell that opens the secret passage is snake language?"

Connor was also confused now, "But... Myrtle said it."

"It's possible that the opening spell requires a real Parseltongue, but I'm not. I just happened to learn some Parseltongue, or the spell was changed, or when there is someone inside, the secret passage is controlled by the person inside. "

"But...!" Connor opened his mouth. He wanted to say that this is not how it was shot in the movie. Is this a dangerous situation? But in the end Connor did not make such a stupid mistake.

The two of them were helpless about this secret passage and stood frozen in place for a while.

After a while, Connor suddenly raised his head and said seriously: "Professor, why don't we just dig this place up?"

Connor was so angry that he planned to pass the level directly through physical violence.

"No, this secret passage is not that simple. Even if you use magic to dig straight down, you may not be able to find the real entrance." Dumbledore directly rejected Connor's proposal.

"Then Professor, are there other entrances to the sewers in our school?"

"Are you planning to drill into the sewer? Although you can use Animagus, I personally don't recommend you to drill into the sewer. After all, the sewer environment is not suitable for us humans to survive."

"Wait a minute, are you saying that the sewers in schools are all very thin? Don't they have thick and big sewers?"

"Well, I guess there's no need to make the sewer as thick as it is, right?"

"." TMD, the rubbish movie lied to me again! Connor also realized that this secret passage must have been enlarged by magic, otherwise who would build a sewer and make it the size of a subway?

"It seems that there is nothing we can do about this secret passage for the time being." Dumbledore shook his head and looked at Connor, "You seem to know something? Come to my office. I think we have a lot of things to talk about. chat."

————

In the principal's office, Connor sat in his old seat a little lonely. Today's experience made him a little frustrated.

The old and hairless Phoenix Fox was screaming at the side, which made Connor feel even more miserable.

"Fawkes is about to die," Dumbledore said emotionally, "but he will also be reborn. The phoenix is ​​a very charming creature, isn't it?"

"That's your phoenix, not mine. No matter how charming it is, I'm not interested in it." Connor said sadly, looking listless.

Dumbledore shrugged, took out a handful of candies and placed them on the table according to the old rules, and asked: "Okay, tell us about today's incident? Connor, you seem to have some information that I don't know? Tell us Let’s analyze it together.”

"Ah~ let me think about it, this started at the beginning of school. I found a sneaky house elf at King's Cross Station and learned some unclear information from him."

Connor drooped his head and made up a story that was half true and half false. He put all the blame on Dobby for how he knew "the school had changed", and then talked about Hermione's lost notebook and some more. The arrangements I made to nip problems in the bud and what happened today.

Reasonable and convincing, Connor's story did not arouse Dumbledore's suspicion, making Dumbledore believe that Connor just happened to encounter this incident.

"So, when Harry was attacked today, someone probably wanted to attract our attention so that he could easily enter the secret passage? But is the notebook lost by Miss Granger really related to today's incident?"

Connor shrugged: "I don't know, but this is the only abnormality in the school recently."

Although Connor knew a lot of information, he couldn't say it clearly. He could only guide Dumbledore's ideas in this way. In fact, he wanted Dumbledore to take over this matter. Wouldn't it be nice for him to study magic? After all, these bullshit should be the responsibility of adults. There is no need for a weak "child" like Connor to deal with it.

"So Connor, what do you think about today's matter? I want to hear your opinion."

"My opinion." Connor scratched his head and said calmly: "I think that secret passage is probably the legendary Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."

"Oh~?" Dumbledore pushed up his glasses, looked across the half-moon glasses, and looked directly at Connor: "Interesting conclusion, please elaborate."
