abnormal hogwarts

Late at night, Harry and Ron finally returned to the common room of their college, dragging their exhausted bodies.

They didn't even have time to eat dinner, so they went to Nearly Headless Nick's death anniversary dinner.

Ron felt like he was having a really bad Halloween.

He finally survived the ghost disco party that seemed to last a century. He originally wanted to go to the auditorium to see if he could pick up some leftovers to eat, or ask his brothers for help and ask them to take him to the kitchen.

As a result, Harry walked halfway, must have heard someone whispering, and ran all the way to the third floor following the sound.

Then in the corridor on the second floor, they saw such a horrifying scene - a girl fell into a pool of blood, her life or death unknown.

There is also a stiff cat hanging from the torch on the wall next to it.

The panicked two people didn't know what to do for a moment. Before they could make any move, the eaglets and lion cubs who had just finished the dinner and were about to return to their college lounge appeared in front of them.

The common rooms of both colleges are located on the top floor of the castle. If they want to return to the common room from the auditorium, they must pass through the corridor where the crime scene is located on the third floor.

The rest rooms of Slytherin and Hufflepuff are different from them because they are underground.

In other words, the fact that the crime scene was discovered so quickly was definitely planned by the murderer.

Judging from the amount of bleeding on the girl's chest, it would have taken no more than 3 minutes for the murderer to commit the crime from the moment the two of them discovered it.

At that time, everyone present looked at them suspiciously, but they could not refute.

No matter how you look at it, the two of them who first appeared at the crime scene looked like criminal suspects.

Fortunately, Dumbledore's words relieved the two of them from suspicion.

But the matter was not over yet, they were taken to Gilderoy Lockhart by Dumbledore for questioning about the attack.

Although Dumbledore already knew who the real murderer was, he still had to pretend.

So, by the time Harry and Ron were released, the night was already deep.

They didn't even have time to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, so they returned to the Gryffindor common room tired and hungry.

"Back?" On the sofa by the fire in the Gryffindor common room, Miss Beaver, who was holding a notebook and reading it with gusto, raised her head from the book. There were several cold plates on the table next to her. Excellent food.

Hermione raised her delicate chin towards the food on the table, "I heard from Senior Ivo that you went to Nick's death anniversary dinner. You haven't had dinner yet, right? I brought it back to you from the auditorium."

A beam of flame burst out from Little Beaver's wand, circled around the dinner plate several times, enveloped it within a few seconds, and then disappeared without a trace.

Harry looked at the steaming food in front of him and felt a little moved.

Ron looked at the little beaver in front of him with complicated eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Are you really unaware of what happened in the Chamber of Secrets?" Hermione's sudden words brought the two of them back to reality with their mouths full of food.

Hermione felt very uneasy about a student being attacked in the castle.

This uneasiness stems from her knowledge of some secrets.

As a member of the Akatsuki organization, Hermione knew much more than the ignorant students outside.

For example, Voldemort's return was still just a rumor among students. Even if Rita Skeeter wrote her inference about the identity of the wizard who fought Albert that day in the Daily Prophet, other students I just treat this as gossip news.

And even if that person was Voldemort, they thought that the other person had already been killed in that battle.

After all, the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic witnessed the three-headed dragon being burned to ashes by the fierce fire. As for Voldemort's remnant soul taking the opportunity to escape, who saw it?

They only felt that it was Albert's one-sided statement.

A one-sided statement made up to brag about one's own awesomeness.

Only people in the Akatsuki organization knew about Voldemort's remnant soul slipping away, because they believed that Albert would not lie about such a thing.

Moreover, they had fought against the remnant soul of Voldemort in the past few years. Although it was not a head-on battle, they were fighting against the alien beasts created by Voldemort.

"The Chamber of Secrets?" Harry shook his head crazily, "I have no idea what the Chamber of Secrets is. Ron and I originally planned to go to the auditorium, but on the way, I clearly heard a voice..."

"Why didn't I hear that voice?" Ron interrupted Harry.

Harry frowned, "But I clearly heard it, that voice kept saying something like 'tear you apart'..."

"Harry, in the wizarding world, hearing strange sounds is not a good sign." Little Beaver also frowned.

Ron, who finished the food in front of him in three minutes like a starved man, wiped the oil on his hands, "How about I ask George and Fred? They are as familiar with this castle as their own home." , definitely knows about the secret room."

Hermione didn't comment. After seeing that she couldn't get anything valuable from the two people in front of her, Hermione stood up silently and returned to the girls' dormitory.

She made up her mind to ask the seniors in the Akatsuki organization tomorrow.

They must know something.

In fact, the matter of the secret room is not a secret at all in the Akatsuki organization. Of course, this is for those who joined the Akatsuki organization before 1990.

In the school year of 1990-1991, Albert, Elizabeth, Woz, and George had all heard about the fact that Albert, Elizabeth, Woz, and George went to the secret room to capture the basilisk alive. Even Vilia had heard her brother mention it.

Only Hermione and Draco, who only joined last year, don't know.

However, Hermione's idea is doomed to fail, because Albert has already been angry with other people who know about the Chamber of Secrets incident. At most, they will only tell these little lions who are investigating the case the origin of the Chamber of Secrets, and other things will depend on the savior. I went to check it myself.

……

For the next few days, the students talked about nothing else but the attack on Mrs. Norris.

Filch's behavior made everyone never forget this incident: he often walked around the place where Mrs. Norris was killed, as if he thought the attacker would come again.

He tried to scrub the writing on the wall with Skoll's All-Purpose Miracle Stain Remover, but it was in vain as the writing still shone brightly on the stone wall.

In fact, anyone from the Akatsuki organization or any professor in the school could erase that line of writing, but no one came to help poor Filch.

I don’t know if his popularity in the castle is too poor.

If Filch was not patrolling crime scenes, he would hide in the corridors with his red eyes, and then suddenly pounce on unsuspecting students, trying every possible excuse to put them in confinement, such as saying they "breathed too loudly" ” or “Smiley face.”

"Hogwarts: A School History", which was originally not borrowed by anyone in the school library, has become extremely popular. According to Hermione, who often visits the library, the queue of people who have registered to borrow this book has been waiting for two weeks. .

Hermione walked out of the library with some annoyance. Why did she leave the copy of "Hogwarts: A School History" she bought at home instead of bringing it over?

She clearly has an extra-large space bag casted with a traceless stretching spell in her hand. Not to mention all her luggage and books, it is more than enough to hold dozens of thick books like school history.

It's not like she hasn't asked George and Fred in the past few days, but they only told her that the secret room in Hogwarts Castle belonged to Salazar Slytherin, one of the Big Four at Hogwarts. Apart from what was left behind, Hermione received no other valuable information.

The only gain was that she learned that a monster was wandering in Hogwarts Castle, ready to attack Muggle-born wizards at any time.
