The wand in Amosta's palm suddenly began to spin rapidly like a windmill, and it remained in this state without stopping.
"What does this mean, Professor Blaine"
Hermione looked nervously at Amosta, who narrowed her eyes, hoping to get an explanation.
"This means," Amosta grabbed the wand and stopped trying. He stared at a small section of exposed water pipe and said calmly,
"Salazar Slytherin cast many powerful spells on his secret room, including preventing location, which made my plan to directly find the secret room through magic come to nothing
To be honest, this matter is quite troublesome. , Hogwarts Castle has gone through thousands of years, and no one knows how many times the sewer pipes in the castle have been modified. Even the original design drawings of the castle may have been lost.”
Amosta. The words made Harry and Hermione obviously disappointed. In any case, this was the closest they had been to the monster in the Chamber of Secrets since the incident.
In the darkness, Harry frowned and stared at the water pipe. He didn't know why, ever since he was in the office just now, when Professor Blaine guessed that the sound he had been hearing was made by a snake. There was always a slight sense of dissonance, as if he had forgotten something important.
"What should we do now, Professor?"
Hermione did not notice that Harry fell into an eerie silence, and she asked worriedly,
"Do we need to inform Headmaster Dumbledore of this discovery?"
"Not yet, Miss Granger"
Amosta refused the offer without hesitation, joking , I don’t necessarily have to be the first to discover the secret room, but I must at least do it before Dumbledore. Otherwise, when Dumbledore takes away the magical creatures in the secret room, what should I bring to report?
Amosta jumped down from half of the wall and waved his hand to restore the wall to its original state,
"The pipes in the wall are connected to the sewage treatment system of the entire castle. Unless there is no other way, I Try not to go through the pipes one after another under the Bubble Curse
In the next few days, I plan to go to the library more often, firstly, to find out what species the snake in the secret room is, and secondly. Come and see if you can be lucky enough to find the architectural drawings of the original construction of Hogwarts Castle. Although there is a high probability that the location of the secret room will not be marked on the drawings, at least it may be possible to confirm its general location through some clues." p>
"How can I help, Professor Blaine?" Hermione asked in a hopeful tone.
"Of course, Miss Granger"
Amosta led him to the first floor. When he heard the question, he smiled and said,
"I heard other professors say that finding key information from vast texts is your specialty. Miss Granger, you can participate in the two things I just mentioned. However, ITry not to take up your usual study time
If I can’t find the answer before next Saturday, you can come to the library to help”
Because of the darkness in the second half of Friday During the magic defense practice class, Ron lay on the bed in the dormitory for almost two whole days. At this time, he no longer dared to say that he was lucky to have dealt with the eight-eyed spider with the third, fourth and fifth grades.
"I'm beginning to agree with Malfoy's evaluation of Professor Blaine, Harry"
When Harry returned to the dormitory full of thoughts, Ron stared at him. The curtain on the four-poster bed said weakly,
"Who in the normal world would carry that kind of thing with them and show it to the little wizards to deal with that kind of terrifying dark creature? They should be Aurors."
After Harry told everything about what happened tonight, Ron, who had just been half-dead, immediately changed his appearance. His eyes suddenly flashed with longing, and he hurriedly He asked,
"Have Professor Brain told you in detail how to hide magic in your eyes?"
Sometimes, Ron's thick lines do make people feel Helpless, Harry said angrily,
"That is definitely not a simple magic. Ron, even a genius like Professor Blaine spent a lot of time mastering the magic he designed." "It's been a long time."
Ron curled his lips, looked at Seamus, Neville and Dean who were laughing together, and spoke in a more serious tone,
" Regardless of whether what that old madman in Slytherin is hiding in the Chamber of Secrets is a snake, Harry, I think that as long as Professor Blaine is still in the school, his heir will not dare to continue to come out until Colin is still alive. Hufflepuff's Justin Finch-Fletchley has returned to normal, and this matter should be settled once and for all."
"It's not that I disagree with Professor Blaine's conclusion, Ron"
< p>Harry frowned and whispered,"I just always feel that there are some things that I have overlooked. And, I think before the school board asks Professor Blaine to leave Hogwarts, he'd better We can find that secret room, otherwise, if that monster makes trouble again one day, who can we expect? I thought something was wrong there, Ron"
A flash of light came into Harry's mind while he was lying on the bed. After a flash, he suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up from the bed. Ignoring Ron's stunned gaze, he rushed directly to his desk, opened his schoolbag and started rummaging around.
There it was. Just now, Harry suddenly thought of something, that is, he had actually seen the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, in the memory that Tom Riddle once showed him.
It was a huge, Mao Sensen's low body, several dark legs tangled together, many shining eyes, and two pliers as sharp as knives, no matter what, that thing doesn't look like a snake
What exactly went wrong? When I opened the notebook,, Harry raised his eyebrows and looked solemn.
Professor Brain’s conjecture does not sound problematic. It perfectly explains why the terrifying sound was heard through the tube by no one except himself. Who would have thought that the monster would use such a covert method? Move
But the unknown past that Riddle showed himself also has an irrefutable fact, that is, after Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts, nothing happened in the school again. Riddle himself was even awarded the Special Contribution Award by the school for this incident.
"Harry, I think you'd better throw away this book. I always feel that this Tom Riddle is a bit evil now"
Ron, who was sitting on the bed, frowned and looked at Harry. After Li spread the notebook on the table, he picked up the quill without stopping.
"Don't be stupid, Ron, Riddle's memory tells us something very valuable, doesn't it?"
Harry said without looking back, almost The moment the ink dripped onto the notebook, the elegant handwriting immediately appeared on the blank paper.
“Hello, Harry Potter, I thought that after knowing the truth about the Chamber of Secrets incident, I had been forgotten by you in a corner of the bookshelf, and what awaited me was another fifty years of darkness and dust. , I think Rubeus Hagrid is still in this school, have you told others the truth about my memory?"
Harry's face turned red, but he had no time to talk to Riddle did not exchange pleasantries, but went straight to the point and told what he had discovered tonight.
"Riddle, do you think you made a mistake? In my opinion, Professor Brain's guess is more reasonable. However, although the monster you showed me in your memory is I didn't see it clearly, but it was obviously not a snake."
This time, the notebook did not immediately answer Harry's question. It seemed that what Harry said also caused it to fall into confusion. Until two minutes later, the notebook Use a messy handwriting to show your question,
