Connor's Hogwarts

A completely different message...

"This is..." Connor frowned. What happened tonight was beyond his expectation in every sense of the word.

Snape took over the conversation: "This was written with a dark magic tool called [Leaving Ink]. It's very difficult to clean. Unless the wall is demolished, we won't be able to remove it for a while." This is a trace”

"The most important thing is that when I was cleaning this floor just now, I didn't see these two lines of writing on the wall!" Snape looked very angry. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Someone is here. There's a monster working under our noses and we can't even see it!? Are you fooling us!?"

"Calm down, Severus, there is no point in getting angry. What we have to do now is to find a way to solve the problem at hand." Dumbledore lowered his head and sighed, and asked: "In addition to the messages here, there are also those that have been destroyed." Magic Painting, do you have anything else discovered?"

"Yes!" Professor Sprout took out a small box from his arms: "I found this music box in many places in the castle, but when I opened it, I found that it only recorded the sound of roosters crowing."

"Ahem, cough, cough." Connor raised his hand in embarrassment and said, "Professor, I put this thing there."

"Huh? Connor, why are you leaving such things everywhere?"

"This. This is a bit difficult to explain clearly. But this is not important, isn't it? And it has nothing to do with this matter. Let's talk about the next thing." Connor tried to change the subject.

"I also discovered..." Then Professor Flitwick took out several small balls from his arms and said with a serious face: "I found this kind of camera at the exit of many girls' bathrooms! It's unbelievable. There is such a change."

"Ahem! Ahem!" Connor lowered his head guiltily and raised his hand weakly: "That... I put that one too."

"???" At this time, several professors looked at Connor with something wrong. Professor Flitwick's eyes were full of regret, which was probably the same as when he was walking on the street and suddenly saw a student he liked walking into the red light district. .

"Connor, you can't"

"No, no, no! Everything I did was authorized by Professor Dumbledore! I didn't do anything suspicious!" Connor waved his hands in a panic, his crazy eyes hinting that Dumbledore would help him prove his innocence. .

But Dumbledore did not look at Connor. He touched his beard and said in an evasive tone: "Connor's arrangement may also record useful information. Apart from these, are there any other discoveries?"

"?" Please explain it to me! No matter what you say, it sounds like you are covering up students! You obviously agreed! My reputation! Although Connor didn't see the basilisk's eyes, he felt like he was petrified.

"Also..." Snape took out his wand, drew a strange symbol in the air, and said, "I also found this kind of strange mark on the walls in many places, and there is some space magic in the mark. mark."

"Cough cough cough cough cough!" Connor lowered his head feebly and raised his hand tremblingly: "Um. I still drew this."

"???" The three professors all stared at Connor, their eyes seeming to say, "What do you want to do with all these tricks in the castle?"

[That’s my Flying Thunder God Mark] How could Connor say something with such unclear meaning? This cannot be explained at all! So Connor simply gave up the struggle: "Well, these have nothing to do with what happened tonight. Can we skip this topic first?"

Several professors chatted again, but nothing special was discovered. It seemed that there was a simple snake disaster tonight, and then some bastard wrote a sentence on the wall, and nothing else happened. .

Finally, Dumbledore concluded: "These snakes all emerged from the sewers. We have no way of knowing who did this for the time being, but... what we can be sure of is"

"The secret room has been opened again."

Several professors frowned, and Snape said hoarsely: "Chamber of Secrets? Are you saying that what is written on the wall is true?"

Flitwick rubbed his hands vigorously, as if he was a little frightened: "Are you saying that the legend of the Chamber of Secrets is true? Is there really a treasure left by Slytherin hidden in Hogwarts?"

Dumbledore nodded and shook his head: "The Chamber of Secrets is indeed real, because it was opened once fifty years ago. As for whether there is really a treasure or something, I can't guarantee it..."

Before the professors could react, Dumbledore clapped his hands and said, "Besides that, it's just the two sentences on the wall. This is a breakthrough. At least we can find a way to know who it is. Write these two lines here, Connor, the magic painting you left on this floor."

Connor shook his head: "No more, everything was destroyed."

"Then let's do some divination first, Severus."

Snape nodded, took out his wand, pointed forward, and chanted: "Revelio! [Appear all]"

This is a magic that traces back to the past. It is a type of divination. It can reproduce the traces left by others. Using this method, you can probably easily find the murderer.

However, what happened next made everyone silent, because as Snape's curse fell, a pale golden figure appeared in front of everyone, and this person... was Dumbledore.

"." Several people watched Dumbledore's phantom approach the wall, then bent down to pick up two cards, then turned and left. After that, Professor Flitwick, who was the first to find the writing on the wall, appeared. The shadow is gone.

After the retrace magic ended, Dumbledore touched his beard calmly and said: "It seems that our friend who has never met is very cautious, and he deliberately used the magic to eliminate traces."

Everyone present nodded and said nothing, because they all knew that Dumbledore already knew the answer.

"Okay, we can't keep the students in the auditorium waiting too long. Pomona, you go back and tell Minerva to let the students go back to their dormitories. This should be the end of tonight's affairs, by the way. Remember to tell Minerva that the Fat Lady's magic painting was also destroyed."

Professor Sprout nodded, turned and left.

Snape pointed to the writing on the wall and asked, "What about this? Don't you want to deal with it? Let the students see that it's really okay?"

Dumbledore shook his head: "If we tear down the wall, I'm worried that there will be a real snake disaster. Since the friend we have never met just wants to tell us this information, why should we ignore his good intentions? "

Dumbledore was worried that there would be a snake disaster with casualties after covering up the information. Since the other party could release the snake, it would naturally allow the snake to bite people. But he did not do this, he just left such a message, so he did It is very likely that it is expressing the meaning of "If you dare to cover up the news, then I dare to let the snake bite people".

Then Dumbledore turned and walked away, greeting the remaining people: "Let us go and see what happened at that time."

Connor followed wisely. Dumbledore appeared in the backtracking spell just now, but Dumbledore was still in the auditorium at that time. In other words, there were two Dumbledores at that time. So what exactly happened at that time? It’s self-evident what it is.

Several people followed Dumbledore back to the principal's office. At this time, the principal's office was busy, no, it was very noisy. There was no place for the magic paintings in the school to go, so they all came here! The entire principal's office was as busy as a vegetable market.

"Dumbledore! Help! I was bitten by a snake!!"

"My house! My wardrobe! My dress! No! It's all gone! No!!!"

"Can you bastards get out of here?! I'm running out of room!!"

Several people ignored the noisy idiots on the wall. Dumbledore sat back in his seat and took out a "pocket watch" from the drawer. He lowered his head and adjusted the time and said, "Just let me take a look." What happened?”

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, he put the pocket watch around his neck, and then he suddenly disappeared.

That was the time turner, and Dumbledore used its power to "go back" to the past. He wanted to witness with his own eyes what happened at that time.

Before Connor had time to chat with the two professors, the door to the principal's office was pushed open again, and in came Dumbledore, who was sitting on the chair a few seconds ago. This person came from The "same" Dumbledore from another world.

Dumbledore had a wry smile on his face. He looked at Connor with a somewhat strange look and sighed: "We are just being treated like this."
