A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 35: Assault
Auditorium.
The atmosphere of the party was very warm, and Dumbledore fulfilled his promise and invited a skeleton dance troupe. They perform hilarious ditties on instruments made of bones while performing comical dances in a style that is honestly quite memorable.
The faces of the little wizards were satisfied and excited. They sat in the jack-o-lanterns and tasted the special food of the festival. In Felix's view, their taste did not change much, but the style was enough. Novelty, another way.
Felix inserted a piece of black, tombstone-shaped caramel cake and popped it into his mouth.
On the ceiling of the auditorium, ribbons of various colors and monster masks were hung, and he even saw three **** dogs--in the wizarding world, black dogs have a bad reputation. But after careful observation, he discovered that it turned out to be a three-headed dog.
Felix: "..." I always feel that the three-headed dog was killed.
Before I knew it, ten o'clock passed, and I was running towards eleven o'clock. The little wizards also put down the tableware one after another, with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Felix wiped his mouth with a napkin, and began to discuss the spell with Professor Flitwick. Professor Lockhart tried to intervene, but the two ignored him.
Two months into school, as long as you have a little IQ, it's not hard to see what Lockhart is.
Felix couldn't help but cast a reproachful glance at Dumbledore. I've lost my trust in you, so why are you looking for such a parallel importer as a professor?
Fortunately, I thought he had real talents.
Felix felt worthless for his time.
Finally, the Skeleton Dance Troupe ended the performance with a different kind of soothing tune, and everyone applauded in unison, until they bowed and turned into a cloud of black smoke to exit.
At the end of the party, the little wizards crowded out of the auditorium. Leaving a few professors to wave their wands and pick up the pieces.
At this time, a little wizard returned in a panic, his lips trembling.
"Professor, I think you need to come and see...something happened!"
Needless to say, the professors also heard the exclamation of the young wizards outside the auditorium. Dumbledore walked over in a few steps, and the crowd automatically separated into a space.
Felix and Professor Flitwick looked at each other and quickly followed.
They climbed the stairs to the third floor. Following the line of sight of the little wizards, they turned the corner and came to an empty corridor.
The first thing Felix saw was Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The three of them stood alone, and there was an obvious space around them, but the next moment, his eyes fell on the torch hanging on the torch on the cat.
It's Mrs. Norris.
It looks very stiff, as if dead.
Beside it, on the wall one foot above the ground, some writing was scribbled, and the emblem shone under the reflection of the burning torch.
The Chamber of Secrets was opened.
Those who are enemies of the heir, be vigilant.
Filch yelled something, Dumbledore quickly jumped over the crowd and untied Mrs. Norris. His expression became serious, and his blue eyes looked carefully through the half-moon lenses.
"Come with me, Filch." He said to Filch, "and you, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger."
Lockhart quickly recommended his office, and then followed behind Dumbledore, followed by Professor McGonagall, Snape, Felix, and Professor Flitwick was left behind to appease the panicked little wizard .
Lockhart's office.
Several professors are gathered around a smooth table, looking at the stiff Mrs. Norris.
The tip of Dumbledore's long hooked nose almost touched Lady Norris' fur. He looked at it carefully through the half-moon-shaped glasses, poking here and there with his slender fingers.
Professor McGonagall bent over, almost touching the cat with his face, squinting his eyes and watching carefully.
Snape stood behind them, half hidden in the shadows.
Felix stood on the other side, brushing his fingers over Mrs. Norris's back. A powerful curse breath.
Not dead... seems to be petrified...
At almost the same time, Headmaster Dumbledore straightened up and said softly, "It's not dead, Filch, it's petrified."
But the headmaster's words could not relieve Filch of his resentment. He instantly locked his suspicion on Harry, and did not hesitate to reveal his identity as a Squib.
But his doubts were quickly dismissed, because "this requires the highest black magic."
The trio obviously can't do that.
Not to mention, there is that weird handwriting on the wall.
The Chamber of Secrets...
Felix was lost in thought, such a familiar name.
Next came Snape's home court. He interrogated the three of Harry in a mocking tone. Harry's faltering explanation made Felix on the side sigh.
Children, you are not proficient in lying, and your psychological quality is not good enough.
However, Felix immediately fell into thinking, what are they hiding?
After attending the Deathday Party in the basement, they should have returned to the auditorium, but they just didn't...
Perhaps, you can find an opportunity to ask your assistant.
After the trio left, several professors exchanged messages ~IndoMTL.com~ Porter wasn't quite telling the truth, principal, that's my opinion. "Snape repeated his point of view.
This point, without the professor's refutation, they can all see it.
But Professor McGonagall habitually defends his students, "We have no evidence to prove that they did anything wrong. In fact, they may just have heard some abnormal noises."
"This possibility is not ruled out," Dumbledore said noncommittally, "What's your opinion, Felix."
The eyes of the people present fell on Felix, and even the photo of Lockhart on the wall poked out from the shadows.
"My opinion... I'm still thinking about the words on the wall. The secret room was opened, whose secret room? Who opened it? And who is opposing this so-called heir?" He threw three question.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, and she said dryly: "It sounds like the legend of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets again, but there has never been any evidence to prove that..."
Except for the two newcomers Felix and Lockhart, the other three are old teachers. Similar campus legends will spread among the young wizards every few years, and they will continue to appear. It is also becoming more sensational and curious.
"But as far as I know, Ravenclaw and Slytherin are the two most famous names associated with the word Chamber of Secrets. With reference to this attack, the directivity is already very obvious."
Several other people could understand what Felix meant, the Chamber of Secrets was related to Slytherin.
Ravenclaw could not do such a thing.
"The speculation is reasonable, but unfortunately there is no evidence." Snape stabbed him.
Finally, Dumbledore made a final decision, "In the next few days, we will search the castle first to see if we can find anything."
