Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

The three of Stephen walked in the corridor and headed to the common room together.

"What do you think happened to Professor Snape today? He actually praised people. I thought he would just have a slumped face and lecture in a low-pitched tone." Rowan was still marveling at Snape's Something is wrong.

Stephen shrugged, "Who knows, maybe Professor Snape took the wrong medicine."

He turned to look at Martin, "Martin, are you following us because you are curious about what I did?"

Martin shook his head and said seriously: "Of course I'm not that bored. I came to you because of Jason Brooke."

"Didn't he come?" Stephen felt that if Martin asked, things might not be that simple.

"To be precise, he disappeared. His roommate told me that he didn't come back last night." Martin thought for a while, "And he is a Muggle-born wizard who usually doesn't go home on weekends."

"That's very strange." Stephen nodded, indicating that he understood, "but I guess we can't help much."

"Indeed, but this matter is a bit strange..."

The three of them chatted about Jason's disappearance and walked to the common room door, waiting for the eagle-shaped knocker to ask questions.

The eagle-shaped door knocker opened his mouth and asked: "You know something, but you can't let others know it at will; you know how to use it, but you can't use it easily."

Stephen glanced at the eagle-shaped door knocker in surprise. He always felt that the questions raised by this door knocker had some purpose. Rowan and Martin were looking down in thought.

After a few seconds, Luo Wen raised his head and said: "Secret"

"Barely." The eagle-shaped door knocker made the same emotionless voice as usual, and then the door opened, and the three of them walked into the common room and sat down in their usual place.

Stephen thought about the question just now, but he still felt that the knocker's question was purposeful and directional.

"It can't be referring to the Chamber of Secrets built by Slytherin, right?" Stephen thought of this possibility, but then randomly gave up the idea, "Only two people have opened this Chamber of Secrets in the last century. The current mysterious man is not Would easily risk entering Hogwarts while Dumbledore is still around."

"So what does this secret mean?" Stephen thought about various possibilities, but to others, his thinking looked more like a daze.

The three of them stayed in the lounge until it was almost time for dinner before getting up and heading to the restaurant. On the way to the restaurant, Stephen heard several Gryffindor students whispering about Jeffrey's disappearance.

"Martin, who are they talking about Jeffrey?" Stephen approached Martin and asked in a low voice.

"I think it's Geoffrey Burr of Gryffindor." Martin looked at the clothes of the Gryffindor students. "He is also a first-year student. I always feel that there is more than one missing person."

"It's very possible." Stephen nodded, "I think we may have to be more careful recently."

When the three of them entered the restaurant, they passed the long Hufflepuff table and vaguely heard the Hufflepuff students talking about the disappearance.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"Is there someone missing again?"

"How do you know that a Slytherin student is also missing? He seems to be Merula's follower."

Stephen frowned, while Martin glanced at the people in the restaurant, and Rowan took out a notebook from his body to write down what he had just heard. The three of them sat in their usual positions and filled their plates with what they wanted to eat.

"Stephen, Martin, I think these disappearances are a bit suspicious." Rowan looked through his records. "The school has Principal Dumbledore in charge, so it should be safe."

Stephen frowned even more tightly, but his reason and the facts he knew told him not to make random guesses.

"I probably haven't changed anything yet, and even if some small details change, it won't affect the general direction." Stephen ate while confirming whether he had done anything to change the direction.

"Rowan, this doesn't mean anything." Martin turned his head and looked at the Slytherin table. "No matter how strong Dumbledore is, he is still a human being. As a human being, he will inevitably make mistakes."

"The professors should be able to handle this matter." Stephen ended his thinking. He felt that it would be better for him to protect himself. "We have no need or ability to participate in this matter. It is enough to protect ourselves."

Rowan and Martin nodded in agreement. This matter was far beyond their capabilities. Without causing trouble, it was already helping. The three of them remained silent and concentrated on eating the lunch on their plates.

After finishing eating, the three of them took a rest, then left the restaurant and headed to the greenhouse where the herbal medicine class would be held.

As soon as he arrived at the greenhouse, Stephen felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. The atmosphere among the Hufflepuff students seemed too oppressive. He looked at Penny and found that the usual smile on her face was gone, replaced by a nervous look.

Professor Sprout appeared, her expression no longer as gentle as before, but serious.

She looked at the people who were about to come, counted how many people there were, nodded, and said, "I already know about Puenzo's disappearance. The principal and professors are already dealing with it. I think even though there are Four students have disappeared and we cannot stop classes for the time being."

She waited for a while and counted the number of students who came to the greenhouse again. There was a difference of two.

"Okay, except for the missing people, everyone is here. You all come with me. What we are going to learn today is to take care of the white flowers. Can anyone introduce us to this plant?" Professor Sprout glanced at the students. , "Very well, let's ask Mr. Kenner to answer."

"Thank you, Professor Sprout. Bai Xian is a plant with magical properties. It can be used to make a variety of magic potions. It has a wide range of uses. The Bai Xian essence made from Bai Xian has strong healing properties. It works." Rowan put down the hand he just raised and replied.

"Good answer, two points for Ravenclaw." Professor Sprout smiled, "Now we are going to the second greenhouse. This plant is very safe. As long as you don't operate it casually, there will be no danger."

The group of people walked into the second greenhouse, which was very bright and filled with various plants.

Sprout took the little wizards to the area dedicated to growing fresh vegetables, and then asked everyone to follow the process she just introduced in the previous groups.

Stephen looked at Penny, who was still a little nervous, and asked curiously: "Penny, what's wrong with you looking so nervous?"

Penny looked at Stephen and lowered her voice: "Stephen, you just heard that Ludo was missing."

Stephen nodded, but he was curious why Penny was so nervous.

"I think I know something, but I'm worried the professors won't trust me."

"Penny, they're going to check it out, and I think you can tell them what you know."

"Mr. Tony and Miss Heywood, if you have anything you can talk about after class." Professor Sprout noticed their quiet conversation and interrupted them, "What you need most now is to concentrate."

Stephen and Penny hurriedly began to take care of Bai Xian in front of them, waiting for the end of get out of class to arrive.
