[HP] Wonderful Flowers Change the World

8. How far is the distance from Old Malfoy to the Forbidden Forest? Part [-]

As Dawn's spell fell, a door suddenly opened at the bottom of the stairs, a small door without any decoration that opened to the inside.

"There really is a door!" Lovegood thought that such a location did not conform to the basic principles of architecture at all. Of course, the entire design of Hogwarts cannot be speculated by data.

Dawn took out an indelible oil lamp from Mr. Borgin, and Lockhart and Lovegood followed.

The oncoming smell was a smell of dust, no one should have been here for a long time.

"Ahem." Lockhart expressed strong dissatisfaction with this environment, all places should be magnificent, with the fragrance of flowers and plants wafting.Except of course the laboratory, which had immunity specifically approved by Lockhart.

"It seems that Professor Binns is telling the truth. This place has always been managed by him, so there will be no traces left by living people."

Every professor at Hogwarts has tasks other than teaching, and it is specially noted that it refers to the resident professor.When you enjoy the benefits of Hogwarts full board, free accommodation, and full medical reimbursement, it is nothing to add a job.

Just like the deans of the four colleges are not only teaching courses, but also responsible for managing their own students and not bullying the flowers and plants of Hogwarts.And the ghost professor of the history of magic, his hidden task is to manage the archives.I don't know why there is no such thing as keeping the archives clean and tidy in the management work options.

Just when Lockhart was still trying to clean up the place, Lovegood had successfully entered the maximum data mode.He had no trouble finding archives from the 20th century, and expertly located the 1940-1950 stack.

"Let me see, it should be this one." Lovegood brought the information closer to the light source in Dawn's hand, "School reward and punishment records, 1944. Tom Riddle won the Special Contribution Award for his successful reporting."

Both Dawn and Lockhart leaned over to see the description below.

'In that year, a brave Slytherin warrior found a floating ghost in the women's toilet on the second floor. It was a beautiful little girl, Myrtle.What killed her was a demon mixed in at Hogwarts.Huang Chengcheng's big eyes are the last memory of the little witch, and later she turned into a ghost, and her crying echoed endlessly in that bathroom.One person was punished for keeping eight-eyed spiders and became a rare student in modern history who was expelled from school. It is worth mentioning that he was Hagrid by the Forbidden Forest. '

So much for the description of the case that year.The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to comment.It was Dawn who spoke first, "Such a thing can be called a file record! It's just an on-the-spot report by a rookie reporter."

Full of the feeling that the precious resources of the archives are hard to come by, Lovegood is desperate, and he knows that this is a vexatious world.Even so, he still found something in it. In this seriously illogical description, there are some strange senses of incongruity and clues.

"First of all, there are Slytherins. They have nothing to do with the Warriors. Almost no one calls them that, and there is no such thing as bravery." Lovegood pointed out this slot with blood.

Dawn nodded in agreement, this is not the strangest thing. "Later, I specifically emphasized Myrtle's tragic cry, obviously telling others that there is no answer to that ghost."

"And it said that the one who killed her was an infiltrated demon. This is not necessarily directly related to the pair of yellow and orange eyes. I don't know if someone killed her directly, or was killed by something driven. "Lockhart felt that between the two, the demon and Huang Chengcheng's big eyes did not necessarily refer to the same person.

"The strangest thing is the last sentence. A student was expelled because he raised high-risk animals. He didn't directly say that the eight-eyed spider killed Myrtle, and gave the name of the suspect, Hagrid. Oh! Merlin's parchment, he is still working as an administrator at Hogwarts, will the school use a person who is suspected of murder?" Lovegood thinks that this statement is definitely not a mockery of what happened back then.

A murderous demon appeared and killed a schoolgirl by unknown means.The female student turned into a ghost, but knew nothing about the murder process and the murderer.

A student was expelled for raising high-risk creatures in a school full of little wizards who were defenseless and defenseless.However, he is still an administrator.

In the end, who the murderer was is still unclear.

The ghost still haunts the bathroom on the second floor.

And in this way, it's over!case!up!

The recorder didn't know what motive he used to record a criminal offense in such a way.

All three shook their heads, the world is indeed full of malice.Even in Hogwarts, known as the paradise of little wizards, hidden secrets are enough to subvert a person's world view in invisible places.

"What shall we do next?" Lovegood said a little stiffly, and their clues were broken.

"There's not even the basic files of the students here." Dawn looked through the files around. There were some maintenance records about Hogwarts, such as how much magic crystals were spent on AAA materials in 1200.There are also live records about the residents of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, participating in the Fantastic Creature Games, and more.

"There is almost no information about the students at school, which is inconsistent with modern management." Dawn couldn't help complaining, no wonder this is a dusty place.As there are fewer and fewer things to record, less people come here.

"Look at the latest archive records, the shocking battle between the principal and Grindelwald in 1945." Lockhart took out the briefing.

There are only a few words on it, 'Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore has made great contributions to the peace of the European wizarding world. In 1945, Dumbledore fought a life-and-death duel with the then Demon Lord Grindelwald, which ended with Grindelwald being imprisoned.Of course, the principal also paid a heavy price. '

"It's still the same without beginning and end, and it doesn't say who won the victory, nor what the tragic price is." Lockhart expressed dissatisfaction with such a hidden record, which can only be seen in the fog of words The fog of history hides deeper.

"At least we know a few key points." Dawn turned the topic back. "Tom Riddle is not a simple person. The case back then still has a lot of hidden secrets. According to the detection principle of the reporter at the scene of the suspected crime, he is also one of the suspects."

"In this case, Hagrid's doubts will disappear. No matter how foolish Dumbledore is, he will not keep a real murderer in the school, at most he will keep a high-risk person." Lockhart added helplessly.

"In the end, the one who killed Myrtle should be a creature with yellow-orange eyes. The danger level is similar to that of the eight-eyed spider. It may have lived in the Forbidden Forest and entered the castle through some channel." Lovegood thinks This is the problem, this animal should be lurking, no, it has lived here for a long time, otherwise why the forbidden spell that prevents high-risk animals from appearing in the castle has no effect.

A few people left the archive room with no other clues, and it's not bad to get these answers here.After all, this is a case without a head. I am afraid that even the headmaster at the time didn't know about it, so there was such a judgment. It's just that this is an extremely irresponsible attitude towards the young wizards at school.

Rewards and punishments are conflated, and even the murderer and the implicated are confused.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when we returned to the Ravenclaw lounge.

"Should we go to the Forbidden Forest to take a look?" Lovegood still couldn't help asking, this kind of feeling of hanging halfway is not good, the data is not clear, can we still record and analyze it properly.

Dawn and Lockhart thought about it, and finally nodded slowly. They looked at Lovegood together and said in unison, "You don't want to go."

Lovegood rolled his eyes. He knew that his combat power was not strong enough to deal with the dangerous animals in the Forbidden Forest, but was it necessary to synchronize like this? He was a technician, and he was the big boss who should sit behind and control the overall situation.

Dawn ignored Lovegood's white eyes, "If you want to go, it's better to choose Christmas next week. We will leave after Christmas dinner. There are few people in the school at that time, and the professors will be there that day. Drink a lot, and the remaining students do weird things, and they turn a blind eye."

"This time is good. There are a few days off for Christmas. If you accidentally stay for a while and can't go back to the dormitory in time, it doesn't matter. It will only be regarded as going to other classmates to play." Lockhart also thinks This is a time for adventure, when everyone is letting their guard down.

"Then I won't be able to help you." Lovegood scratched the shaggy hair on his head. He still had to go home for the holidays this year. "Is it okay if you don't go back?"

"Anyway, I'm the only one in the family." Dawn didn't care where the holiday was, and it was only because it was more convenient to go in and out of the Muggle world when he went back.Anyway, Condela wasn't back yet.

"Me too." Lockhart said indifferently, he was always alone.

"Before that, you still need to prepare a little more, such as the door key. Even if there is a forbidden spell of transfiguration here, it is still feasible to choose the landing place of the door key at the gate of the castle. It is better than getting lost in the Forbidden Forest." Good." Although Lovegood could not go in person, he was still preparing to make a long list to prevent possible dangers.

"There are also antidotes to prevent unknown injuries. Blood tonics, in case of a fight." Lovegood took out the notebook he carried with him after thinking about it, and began to record on it.Dawn and Lockhart could only watch as his data planning fetish flared up.

"Also, for the convenience of movement, I suggest that you wear a set of protective clothing. Then, let me see, I also need to add a few lethal alchemy items. Unfortunately, there is no detailed map of the Forbidden Forest. It is very unfavorable to the expedition." Lovegood finally sighed regretfully.

Dawn and Lockhart didn't dare to intervene, because they were afraid that Lovegood would wish them to draw a map of the Forbidden Forest on a whim. It would be too troublesome, and the territories of certain creatures could not enter or leave at will.

By the way, you have already decided to go to the Forbidden Forest to play, cross it out, you are looking for clues, and you don't care about the feelings of other animals at all.

Dawn and Lockhart said that they were not driven by curiosity, or that they must find out the truth.Instead, I feel that this hidden secret may bring unexpected gains.It is helpful for their theoretical research and also for their experimental process.

***

Snape didn't go home this Christmas, he still had to make some more potions, so he could save a sum of money to buy more precious materials.In fact, there are also reasons for the discord with Irene during the summer vacation.

His parents might have been good parents if they only stayed in his childhood memories.

It's just that there is no going back now.

After the Christmas dinner, the professors who drank a little too much danced.The few students who stayed at school were playing games in the auditorium in twos and threes.

Snape, however, ate his normal dinner and left.

Tonight is when the silver arhat flower blooms, and he will go to the Forbidden Forest to pick some.

According to the lone Potions Book, provided by Sirius, there is an antidote that slows down the death process.It is much better than the cursing potion I made for Dumbledore back then.It's just that the materials are too scarce, and it is almost difficult to get them together now, and the silver arhat flower is one of them.I actually let myself find it in a group of ancient trees in the Forbidden Forest that I hadn't been to before.Snape decided to pick it back, even if the potion could not be made in the end, it would have other uses.

Snape didn't think about why the potion was made, it wasn't for Lucius' father, and that wasn't his turn.Worrying about the life or death of your friend's father, the key is that this person is not your friend yet, this matter is a bit complicated.

Snape attributed this unlikely success to his love of potions.

By the way, I seem to have seen two Ravenclaws in the auditorium today, and they didn't even go home for the holidays.Snape thought of Dawn's cheap smile in the trophy showroom, it was enough to be cute, how could he say such a thing to someone he met for the first time, could it be that Ravenclaw's IQ had been overwhelmed? Is the experiment captured?

Don't think that he is the same as the naive little wizards, thinking that it is really a big gift of essential oils, there must be a conspiracy behind it, and he always feels that he will be dragged into the water.

There won't be any changes in going to the Forbidden Forest this time, right?Probably not, Snape suggested to himself.

When the moon rose into the sky and the silvery luster flowed between the dense forests, the three figures had different purposes and moved towards the same destination.

None of the three realized that sometimes, people cautiously test each other, whether they can become collaborators, or develop into friends.

However, life is full of accidents. At an unexpected and reasonable moment, it directly and violently breaks the original alienation and defense.
