A Hogwarts dissertation guide

Hermione was still scared when she returned to the common room. Like Ron, she could picture Harry being petrified as soon as she closed her eyes.

"Maybe we should have caught Harry then," Ron said bitterly. "If we hadn't let Harry run down the corridor alone, maybe he wouldn't have been petrified."

Hermione sighed heavily.

Others in the common room looked at Hermione and Ron with sympathy. They all knew that the three of them were best friends, so no one suspected them like Scrimgeour.

They are just afraid that the school has become unsafe, and the first one to be killed is the famous savior Harry Potter.

Who will be the next unfortunate person?

The students are all insecure, fearing that they will be the next unlucky person.

As the writing on the wall says: The secret room has been opened.Be wary of enemies of the heir.

But who is the heir?

Is there still an heir to Hogwarts?

Why have I never heard of it before?

All the little wizards' minds are full of doubts.

"Hermione, Harry will be fine, right?" Ron said dejectedly, his head hanging down.

Hermione nodded heavily, "He will definitely come back. I will ask the teacher every day what is going on."

"Yeah." Ron nodded.

"But that voice that Harry could hear—?"

"It's never a good sign to hear something that no one else can hear," Ron said without hesitation, "even in the wizarding world."

"You trust Harry, right?" Hermione asked.

"Of course I believe it," Ron said quickly, "but - you have to admit it's bizarre..."

"I know it's bizarre," Hermione said. "The whole thing is bizarre. In just a few breaths, Harry was petrified, and we didn't even hear a sound. Also, the Chamber of Secrets was opened. …What does that even mean?”

"Oh, this reminds me of something," Ron said slowly, "It seems that someone once told me about the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts..."

Hermione held her chin and pondered, "Will this matter have something to do with Malfoy? You and I both know what the teacher did. He will definitely hold a grudge."

"It's very possible," Ron said confidently. "In fact, the first person I suspected was Malfoy. He has been a little too silent recently, hasn't he?"

"Indeed." Hermione nodded doubtfully.

The bell rang, and the students all packed up and prepared to go back to their dormitories. Ron and Hermione had no choice but to wipe away their tears and go back to their respective dormitories.

For several days, the students talked about nothing else but the attack on Harry.The figures of Hermione and Ron seemed to remind everyone of Harry's attack.

Ron tried to scrub the writing on the wall with detergent, but it was in vain. The writing still shone brightly on the stone wall.

Goldie Weasley seemed very disturbed by what happened to Harry, which was completely understandable as she had always been a fan of Harry's, but it worried several of her brothers, especially Percy, He had to take several bottles of tranquilizing potions from Madam Pomfrey, and he didn't feel relieved until he watched Ginny drink them.

Hermione didn't feel relieved after leaving Edward's office because she didn't get any useful clues.

In fact, Edward gave quite a few possibilities, but there is no doubt that every one of them is extremely possible, which only makes it more difficult.

Hermione was troubled by not knowing what petrified Harry, while Edward was troubled by the fact that there were so many items that could cause the petrification effect that it was impossible to make a judgment.

Snape also became increasingly irritable in class, and began to target Ron, making him stand up several times to answer questions, which made the Slytherin students chuckle in class.

Ron even got a detention in Potions class when Snape asked him to stay and wipe the caterpillars off the table.

The attack also had a great impact on Hermione. She usually spent a lot of time reading, but now she did almost nothing all day long.

Ron asked her what she was doing, but she ignored him.

Ron also spent his spare time in the library, using a ruler to measure his History of Magic homework.Professor Binns asked the students to complete a three-foot-long essay on the "Encyclopedia of Wizards in Medieval Europe."

"It's much easier for you, just ask Professor Rumple, he knows many wizards, doesn't he?" Ron muttered, while Hermione sat aside and was sulking, "He is the great wizard who knows Nick Flamel. "

Hermione completely ignored Ron's words. She just talked to herself, "Several copies of "Hogwarts: A History" have been taken away," she said, opening a book in front of her. Book, "The list of people who have signed up to borrow it is already two weeks away. Gee, I really wish I hadn't left mine at home."

"Why do you want to see it?" Ron asked. "I thought Professor Rumple knew everything."

"The teacher is indeed very knowledgeable, but he doesn't know much about the history of Hogwarts. He has been traveling around the world." Hermione said, "And I want to look up the legend about the Chamber of Secrets."

"What is the secret room?" Ron asked after a moment of thought.

"That's the problem, I can't remember," Hermione said, biting her lip, "and I can't find the story anywhere else -"

"Don't think about it, Hermione, let me see your work." Ron looked at his watch and said anxiously, "I'm afraid I won't be able to finish my homework."

"No, it can't be done." Hermione said, suddenly becoming serious, "You had ten days, so you had no time to finish it."

"I'm only two inches away and just need a little inspiration and I'll be done."

The school bell rang.

The next class is History of Magic, and Professor Binns is undoubtedly a very boring person - or rather a ghost.

He always read the contents of the textbook in a dry, low and monotonous voice, like an old vacuum cleaner, buzzing.

But after what happened to Harry, this class was destined to be extraordinary.

Hermione walked into the classroom with great expectations. She planned to ask Professor Binns about the Chamber of Secrets.

As the oldest professor(?) at Hogwarts, Hermione thought he must know a lot of inside information.

So, when get out of class was about to end, Hermione raised her hand.

This is something that has never happened before.

Professor Binns looked very surprised. He was talking about the International Wizarding Congress in 1289.

"You are--"

"I'm Granger, Professor," Hermione said in a clear voice.

"Oh, you are Mr. Lumple's disciple, right?" Professor Binns pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and looked at Hermione intently. However, all these actions were unnecessary, he was already dead.
