A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 36: Mistake


The next day, Felix was in the corridor where the attack had taken place last night, and was not surprised to meet Filch.

The corridor was obviously cleaned by him, and the stagnant water on the ground disappeared. An empty chair leans against the wall where the words "The Chamber of Secrets is Opened" are written.

At this moment, he was facing Felix with his back, using detergent to scrub the words on the wall, but it seemed to be in vain.

"Mr. Filch."

Filch turned his head, his eyeballs were bulging, his face was flushed abnormally, and he was still muttering, but when he saw Felix, he still greeted him politely: "Professor Hype. "

"I'll take a look at the scene, maybe I can find some clues."

Felix didn't have much dealings with this Filch when he was in school. At that time, he didn't have Mrs. Norris as his helper, and he was completely immune to his threat by virtue of his excellent Disillusionment Charm.

Filch gave up his seat, and stood by the side somewhat bewildered. He just blew himself up as a Squib yesterday, and he didn't want to stay for a second longer when facing this genius professor today.

"Then, then I will leave first, professor, I have something to do..."

"Go to work," Felix replied, "Oh, yes." He waved his wand, and the writing on the wall suddenly faded.

"Huh?"

He was a little surprised, and quickly moved to the wall, looking up and down at the handwriting. "It seems to be a kind of compulsory magic, but it's not a permanent sticking spell." Felix pointed at the wall with his wand, and soon, the writing disappeared.

"Thank you, thank you." Filch blushed, said something hastily, and left quickly without even bringing cleaning tools.

Felix began to search around, and soon, he found a clue.

He squatted on the ground, tapped the ring on his left hand with his wand, and a large magnifying glass appeared in his hand.

Felix carefully observed the ground, where there was a scorched mark.

"What is this? How did it come about?"

Felix raised his head and looked at the girls' bathroom directly opposite. Without thinking too much, he quickly pushed the copper handle away and walked in.

It was a rather dark, dank place, with stained walls, waterlogged floors, peeling tiles on one of the sinks, and the only light source was a few darkened candles.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Felix kept looking around.

A voice suddenly came from the innermost single room, "Who's there?" Immediately, a gloomy ghost rushed out, with pearl-colored glasses covering most of her face.

She looked at Felix, clearly recognizing the professor.

The ghost was dumbfounded, and looked behind him in disbelief. That's right, this is his chassis, the girls' bathroom...

"Teach, Professor?"

"Hello, Myrtle." Felix's voice was quite calm. He's here to investigate, he has a valid excuse, well, that's it.

Myrtle stared at him blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly let out a scream, and the whole ghost flew back into the toilet, and he could even hear a crisp splash.

Felix: "..." As for it? I just wanted to ask you a question, but I tried my best not to be embarrassed.

Felix said: "Myrtle, I know you are here, did you see the attack yesterday..."

"No! Nothing!" Myrtle yelled from the cubicle.

Immediately, he heard footsteps not far away, and he was terrified. He quickly put a disillusionment spell on himself, and quickly left the bathroom, passing by a red-haired girl.

It's not scary to be found by a ghost, but if you are caught by a student...

His first life's fame was ruined.

In the next few days, he cooperated with several professors to search the entire castle when he was not in class, but naturally found nothing.

One day in the auditorium, Felix was still thinking about it while eating lunch.

"The cause of everything is the Horcrux of the Dark Lord, but it seems useless to know that... I don't know who the heir is, where the Chamber of Secrets is, and where the Horcrux is hidden."

"The chamber of secrets, Slytherin, heir, petrification... these are obviously key words. But how to connect them?"

Felix always felt that he was very close to the truth, but he was separated by a layer of fog.

"Slytherin...snake?"

He tried hard to recall, trying to uncover the long-sealed memory. He seemed to see something, "Harry" was fighting with a giant snake. But his memory was rather vague, and he wasn't sure if he had misremembered it. In his impression, "Harry" seemed to have dealt with a large group of dementors by himself.

How is this possible? Ordinary adult wizards can't do it either!

Besides, how could the dementors attack the school?

But Felix quickly reminded himself that in the magical world, anything is possible. Especially the existence of the "protagonist".

"So, it is very likely that it is true that a giant snake caused the petrification of Mrs. Norris." Felix deduced along this conjecture.

But again he ran into a problem.

What snake has the power to petrify?

All Felix could think of was Medusa, but this magical creature was extinct.

"It is not ruled out that Slytherin has carried out blood grafting... Judging from his surviving notes, his research on the magical blood is very in-depth."

He didn't figure it out until after lunch. However, he soon had a new idea, collecting the rumors about the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts over the years, and screening them one by one.

Maybe the truth is hidden in the rumors~IndoMTL.com~ Three days later, Felix stood opposite a tapestry of "the troll beat Barnabas" on the eighth floor of the castle, looking at a silver door with a strange expression. The door slowly appeared.

So, did you find it?

Hesitating slightly, he tapped his chest lightly with his wand, and light flashed across his wrists, ankles, and chest, and then he walked in.

This is an oversized garbage storage room, and all kinds of discarded items are piled up in mountains, broken quills, old books, damaged looking glasses... He also saw the Snitch missing half of its wings.

He walked around cautiously, but found no clues.

"A hidden room?" He couldn't imagine that the proud Slytherin would put the secret room here.

"However, this room is very hidden. Its magic must be very interesting. I will study it another day." Felix walked out of the room and glanced at it with some reluctance. The silver door had quietly disappeared.

On the other side -

The trio is also working hard to study the secrets of the Chamber of Secrets, and the "effort" here mainly refers to Hermione Granger.

After a few days of looking through the materials to no avail, and the rental list of "Hogwarts, A School History" was also queued for two weeks, this Gryffindor witch finally raised her hand to ask a question in History of Magic class, For the benefit of everyone, valuable secret room information has been obtained.

It annoyed poor Professor Binns that he had to break away from the course schedule and talk about "myths and legends" under the eyes of everyone. After this episode, his otherwise sluggish, dry voice picks up speed—making his sessions even more hypnotic than ever.

The young wizards who were originally full of energy fell down again, and their faces quickly became dazed and demented.
