Hogwarts in Sharingan

At this time, Lockhart hurried over and said to Dumbledore in a dancing voice: "The office I photographed is upstairs. You can take them there."

Dumbledore nodded to him.

The whispering crowd parted to make way for them to pass.

Dumbledore walked out first, followed by the other professors, and finally Ethan and Filch who stared at them with resentment.

Lockhart's office was dim, and as they walked in, there was a sudden commotion on the walls.

It was Lockhart in the photo hiding in panic, with curlers in their hair.

The real Lockhart respectfully lit the candle on the table and gave way.

Dumbledore carefully laid Mrs. Norris flat on the smooth table and began to examine it carefully.

His head was lowered, and his long, crooked nose almost touched Mrs. Norris's hair. His slender fingers gently poked here and there, and his half-moon eyes reflected cold light.

Professor McGonagall also bent over to the side, squinting her eyes and looking carefully, her face almost touching the cat.

Snape stood behind them, half of his body hidden in the shadows, looking eerie.He had a strange expression on his face, like a predator that had caught its prey.

Moreover, he was not interested in the cat. Instead, he looked at Ethan and the others sideways.

Filch was much more direct. After entering the room, he kept staring at them and believed that they were the murderers.

Especially Lockhart, who was on the sidelines to avoid chaos, said: "It must have been killed by a spell - probably the Transformation Torture Curse."

After hearing Lockhart's words, Filch slumped down on a chair next to the table, his eyes unfocused.

Ethan, who was speechless to Lockhart, had no choice but to speak first, otherwise he would paint him in a darker light.

"In my opinion, Mrs. Norris is not dead, she is probably just petrified."

At this time, Dumbledore muttered some strange words in a low voice and tapped Mrs. Norris with his wand. However, there was no response, and the cat remained the same as when it was first discovered.

Lockhart would not let go of this opportunity to show off.

"No, I know very well that the cat is dead. I have experienced such an attack in Ouagadougou and no one knows better than me..."

Dumbledore interrupted Lockhart and said, "Ethan is right, Mrs. Norris is not dead, she was just petrified by some powerful dark magic."

Filch stood up suddenly and pointed a trembling finger at Ethan.

"It must be him! He was able to defeat a professor as a first-year student last school year, and now he must have learned a lot of evil magic!"

It was the first time that Ethan felt like Harry Pott in the original novel.

He removed Filch's finger with his wand, tilted his head and said, "If I want to petrify Mrs. Norris, I will directly use the petrification spell. There is no need to use black magic, and I will not stay at the scene stupidly."

"Please allow me to say something," Snape stood in the shadows and sneered: "Mr. Delarisi's attainments in magic are indeed worthy of our attention, but he is not stupid enough to do such a thing in the castle."

Ethan looked at Snape confused.

【Has this person changed his personality? 】

"They were probably in the wrong place at the wrong time. That's what they're good at, isn't it? The only problem is that it went so wrong this time."

As expected of you, this can be a strange thing.

Dumbledore also looked at them with scrutiny.

"So, do you have anything to say?"

Harry was not in awe of Snape, but he was much more nervous when he looked at Dumbledore.

"We're, uh, going to Nick's death anniversary party tonight."

"Then what? I remember the party was in the basement and you guys showed up on the third floor. Why not go to the auditorium for the Halloween dinner?"

Snape clung to the loophole, which made the nervous Harry hesitate even more.

Ethan didn't want to waste time, so he took a step forward and said, "Principal Dumbledore, do you remember the note you gave me? And the sentence on the wall."

He was referring to the note left by Helga about Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, which stated that there was a little monster hidden in the Chamber of Secrets.

Although Dumbledore did not know that the monster referred to the basilisk, he also knew that there was a monster in the Chamber of Secrets.

So Dumbledore thought for a moment and said cautiously: "Of course, but one sentence and a petrified cat alone cannot prove that the Chamber of Secrets is open. We need more evidence."

Professor McGonagall asked at this time: "Albus, what do you mean?"

"Yes, there are monsters in the secret room left by Salazar, but we still can't determine the location of the secret room, and we don't know what the monsters are inside. We're not even sure that the secret room is really open."

Ethan knew what Dumbledore meant, and announcing the news of a monster running out now would only make everyone panic.

Rather than disrupting the teaching order of the school, it is better to seize the time to investigate the person behind the attack.

"But my cat was petrified!" Filch waved his arms dissatisfied and said angrily: "Someone must be responsible for this!"

Snape added insult to injury: "Since Harry did not tell the complete truth, I suggest that some of their extracurricular activities be canceled until they learn to abide by school rules."

"They are innocent until proven guilty, so we have no power to ban their extracurricular activities." Dumbledore walked to Filch, "Professor Sprout recently obtained some mandrakes. Once When they grow and mature, I will have a medicine that can bring Mrs. Norris back to life.”

Lockhart jumped out and said: "I'll prepare it. I must have prepared it a hundred times. I can prepare the mandrake resurrection potion while dreaming -"

Snape's displeasure was written on his face when he was retorted, and he said coldly to Lockhart: "If I remember correctly, I am the Potions professor at Hogwarts."

The atmosphere was so awkward that Ethan wanted to perform an eye care stunt on the spot.

But Dumbledore rescued them.

"You can leave, but Ethan, remember your promise."

Ethan hurriedly ran away without looking back, just waving with his back to Dumbledore.

But at the corner going downstairs, Hermione stopped them like a bully.

"Tell me, what happened to that note? When did you pass the note to others?"

[Why is this so strange? 】

"Remember what I told you last school year, that I went to Helga's secret room in the Forbidden Forest? Then Dumbledore told me that Salazar also set up a secret room in the castle, and there were monsters in it."

Ron's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "So if I find the secret room, I can have a pair of powerful eyes like you?"

"If you want to be petrified, go ahead," Hermione rolled her eyes, and then said to Harry, "And you, what's the sound you heard?"

Harry was a little scared.

"I don't know. It's scary to hear these sounds."

Ron: "Indeed. Hearing voices that others cannot hear in the wizarding world is not something to be proud of."

Ethan also knew that Parseltongue was not a good thing, so he could only comfort him: "Maybe you have different talents. Like my eyes, which can clearly see fast-moving objects, maybe your ears have different powers?"

[It’s actually your brain. 】

Harry felt a little more relaxed now, but at this moment the castle bell rang, it was already twelve o'clock, and they parted.
