Hogwarts: Harley from the Witch Path

Chapter 90 Large-scale social death scene
When Harry heard this familiar voice, he immediately turned his head to look.

She and Hermione happened to arrive at the door of the dungeon at this time, and Professor Snape was standing outside the door.

Professor Snape forced a smile on his face, but Harry could still see that Professor Snape didn't know why he was worried before.

"Something happened at the school." Professor Snape spoke quickly, "Now we need to investigate all the people who didn't go to the Halloween dinner.

I heard from some classmates that you and Miss Granger came to Nick's [-]th death anniversary party, so I came to see you. "

Harry frowned slightly, he hadn't asked enough here yet!

Although the old man slipped away as a riddle before, there are still many ancient-looking ghosts around, and he must be able to dig out a lot of information.

However, the school has never stipulated that all kinds of dinners must be attended, and now Professor Snape will come to him and ask him to accept the investigation, presumably something very big has happened.

Harry asked, "Professor, what happened?"

"Administrator Filch's cat has been petrified." Professor Snape said softly without hesitation, "Also, the Chamber of Secrets may have been opened."

……

When walking upstairs with Professor Snape, Harry also learned the seriousness of the matter.

According to the legend in the school, Slytherin had a rift with the other three founders over whether to recruit Muggle students.

Slytherin left Hogwarts after a heated argument with Gryffindor over the issue.

But it is said that before leaving, Slytherin left a secret room and sealed it.

Only when the true heir of Slytherin comes to the school can he open the Chamber of Secrets and use the horrors in the Chamber of Secrets to purify the school and remove all Muggle-born students.

And now, Filch the Keeper's cat is petrified, with its tail hanging from a torch stand, and on the wall next to it is written:

The chamber of secrets has been opened,

Those who are enemies of the heir, be vigilant.

Obviously, this is a very important event. If it is not handled properly, it may even cause division within Hogwarts.

And this matter cannot be covered up, because it was the scene that the students saw at the end of the Halloween dinner. There were many people at the scene, and it was impossible to block the news.

Professor Dumbledore made a decisive decision and asked everyone to return to the auditorium, and counted the students who did not attend the Halloween dinner or left early.

And Harry and Hermione happened to be on this list, so Professor Snape volunteered to find them.

Harry and Hermione followed Professor Snape all the way to the auditorium.

At this time, other students have left, and only those who did not come or left early are here.

Harry noticed that Ginny and Neville were also impressively in the ranks.

The professors stood at the front of the line. Professor Lockhart was wearing a pure gold robe, and was turning his head triumphantly, wanting to talk to others.

But it seemed that other professors were unwilling to talk to him, but Professor Lockhart didn't even feel embarrassed.

Professor Dumbledore nodded to Professor Snape, cleared his throat: "It seems that everyone is here, so I will stop talking nonsense and start directly.

But don't be nervous, this is just a simple chat.

I think the professor told you what happened in the school when he led you to the auditorium.

So I want to know, during this period of time, if you are not in the auditorium, where are you? "

After listening to Professor Dumbledore's words, many people turned pale.

The students began to explain their whereabouts one by one, which was obviously not an easy task.

Rather, this is actually a large-scale social death scene.

Harley expressed her understanding of this. Of course, it is understandable that boys and girls who are fifteen or sixteen years old did not participate in the school's reunification party.

The expressions on the faces of the deans became more and more exciting. They never thought that their students had such a rich extracurricular life.

For example, having a Hufflepuff boy and a Ravenclaw girl is awkward, having to explain where you went on a date in front of so many people.

The point is that the location chosen by the boy is not so good, he chose to go to the Hogwarts kitchen, and take the girl to enjoy the delicious food at the closest distance.

"Oh, boy, I don't think the location you chose is very good." Professor Lockhart interrupted suddenly,
"I do know a very good date place, I think I was there..."

"Thank you, Professor Lockhart." Although Professor Dumbledore's voice was gentle, there was no doubt about it.
"I think we have more important things to do now, so please wait a while before showing off your rich knowledge."

Harry couldn't help sighing in his heart, what Professor Lockhart said was the essence!
For a witch of pleasure, that is definitely extremely useful knowledge!
Professor Dumbledore, you are puzzled!No wonder you've been single!
Although embarrassing, the students all gave their reasons, and most of them can be proved.

Neville was on the verge of tears because he had been afraid to sneak back from the Deathday Party early.

After finally running out, I wanted to get something to eat.As a result, before he even reached the auditorium, he was caught by Professor Snape, whom he was most afraid of.

But he also has a blessing in disguise, and can get the certificate of the ghost.Professor Dumbledore said that he had written down his remarks and would ask the ghosts.

Ginny and Neville were about as unlucky.

"Professor, I saw the food at the Nearly Headless Nick's Death Day party." The little girl had a bitter face, her face was pale, and she looked very listless.

"You know, the food was very...very...Anyway, I went to the bathroom to throw up for a while, and because I didn't have any appetite, I went straight back to the Gryffindor dormitory to rest.

My brother Ron Weasley, who witnessed this process, did not go to the Hall for dinner until he sent me back to my dormitory. "

"Okay, I will ask Mr. Weasley for confirmation." Professor McGonagall nodded, with a sympathetic look on his face,

"Silly girl, how can you not learn about ghost food before going to the death day party?
You must be starving, right?Immediately I will take you to the cafeteria to get some food. You need some warm milk to nourish your stomach. "

Ginny nodded silently, without speaking, her pale face was truly pitiful.

"I happen to know a food that nourishes the stomach and also has beauty effects. If it wasn't in the auditorium right now, without tools, I could make it with my eyes closed..."

Professor Lockhart interrupted suddenly, but no one answered him, which made him look a little embarrassed, and finally shut his mouth obediently.

The reason why Harry and Hermione missed the Halloween dinner was similar to that of Neville, except that the two tacitly concealed the specific content of the chat, only saying that it was a gathering of curious ghosts.

Not to mention whether those ancient histories are being told here, but the matter of two beautiful girls and a ghostly old man concentrating on discussing history is very strange no matter how you look at it.

"Okay, I will check with the ghosts." Professor Dumbledore didn't express his opinion immediately, but just nodded,

"It's getting late, you guys hurry back to your dormitory! Leave the rest to us.

Professors, please take the students of your own colleges back to the dormitories, and then come to the auditorium again. "
