A day at Hogwarts

Everyone was fooled by Tom Riddle.

Dumbledore believes that Tom Riddle in the Horcrux Notebook will control Percy to open the door to the secret room just like he controlled Ginny before, so that he can find the secret room and solve the basilisk or jellyfish.

Percy thought so too. He put a hat in his dormitory. Every once in a while he told Tom that he liked the hat given by his girlfriend very much. He would wear it except when bathing and sleeping. If Tom could control his actions, he would wear it. Put on the hat and the principal will know.

Charles placed several half-hand-sized rooster paintings on Myrtle's territory, which would crow whenever a basilisk came out.

Charles thought for a while and guessed that Tom was different this time. He secretly accumulated strength, then condensed the entity, left Percy's dormitory, and controlled Ginny with ease.

At this time, he had been driven back to the dormitory by Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall. His name had just been called, and only Ginny was not there.

The Weasleys were in trouble again. Percy's face was paler than Malfoy's, and he stood in the common room in a daze.

Dumbledore asked Hermione and other girls in the same dormitory as Ginny about the situation and learned that Ginny stayed in bed this morning. Everyone left and she was still sleeping. Because it was a holiday, no one cared.

The screaming first-year girl just now was about to go outside from the library. When she was going down the stairs, she saw Ginny walking towards the girls' bathroom on the third floor. She thought that although there were ghosts making trouble there, she wouldn't be afraid if she had one more person with her. I followed him and found the writing on the wall.

Charles listened on the sidelines, thinking that just as he had guessed, Tom Riddle came out and took control of Ginny.

Harry and Ron were pointing at a map of the castle. They had long suspected that the entrance to the secret room was in the bathroom occupied by Myrtle. Now the new message was not far from where the first message was last year, at the end of the corridor. Only the bathroom further confirmed this speculation.

When Dumbledore was about to leave, the two of them followed him, and then Hermione followed. The three of them had searched the bathroom together, wondering if there were any clues.

Charles did not leave, but asked Ruby to follow them, and he sat at the long table, frowning and thinking.

When the basilisk incident reached this stage, he always felt that something was wrong. Since Tom knew that he had been discovered and most likely knew that the other person was Dumbledore, why would he come out to cause trouble in such a big way?

The common room was noisy, everyone was worried about Ginny's safety and the possibility of being suspended from classes and going home tomorrow.

Fred and George took Percy back to the dormitory, and vaguely heard them talking about maps, as if they were going to use the Marauder's Map to find Ginny.

Charles followed the three Weasleys to their dormitory to see if there were any clues.

"I solemnly swear that I will not do bad things!"

Fred touched the blank parchment with his wand, and the map of the first floor of Hogwarts unfolded on the parchment.

"Huh?"

Charles suddenly saw a "" appearing in a corridor at the edge of the castle, which seemed to be part of a letter, but the letter disappeared after the scope expanded.

"Did you see it?" He pointed to the place where the symbol appeared just now. "There seemed to be letters here just now."

However, the attention of Fred, George and Percy was all attracted by the names of Filch, Peeves and several other ghosts on the map, and none of them saw it.

"I gonna go see."

Charles was about to leave after saying that. That "" is probably the beginning of "Tom Marvolo Riddle".

Percy immediately told him, "You can't leave the common room now."

Dumbledore asked the students to stay in the common room, with the student council president and prefects guarding the door. They didn't care about Percy returning to the dormitory because he was the brother of the victim.

Charles nodded, took out his broomstick, opened the window and flew out.

It was so quiet in the castle that even the ghosts didn't know where they had gone.

Charles discovered a secret passage where "" disappeared.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he probably knew what was going on.

It was previously discovered that Voldemort was exploring the secret passage, but in the end it seemed that he found nothing.

Now that Tom is in soul form, he may be able to pass through solid bodies like Peeves. If the tunnel collapses or is blocked, he can pass through, and there is a good chance that he will gain something.

Charles had his wand ready, waved it, and shouted, "Dobby."

"Boss, I'm here!"

Dobby appeared, with a pot on his head, a kitchen knife in his right hand, and the pot lid as a shield in his left hand.

Charles said to Dobby: "Go and tell my grandpa immediately that his secret passage may have been discovered."

Dobby left immediately, reappearing two minutes later with Jack in tow.

Charles spent a minute explaining the current situation to the old man.

Jack nodded and said, "I understand, give me my wand."

After taking the 406mm long wand, he said: "I'll leave it to you to solve the problem here. I'll go to the secret room and have a look."

Charles watched speechlessly as the old man disappeared in front of him.

At present, it seems that Harry and the others will take Dumbledore to find the entrance to the secret room. Dumbledore will definitely form a group to kill monsters, and Professor McGonagall will definitely join the group, so the old man went there.

"well……"

Charles let out a long sigh, adjusted his glasses, turned on the night vision mode, took the wand and walked into the secret passage.

The girls' bathroom on the third floor had not been so lively for a long time. Dumbledore, the four deans and Bell followed the Harry trio.

Professor McGonagall asked Harry: "Potter, are you sure the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is here?"

Harry answered firmly: "I studied the place and time when the monster appeared, and all the clues point to here."

Dumbledore said: "Let's see first."

He waved the Elder Wand and "revealed his true form", and several places in the bathroom instantly glowed with blue light.

First of all, excluding Myrtle hiding in the cubicle, there are more than a dozen places on the wall that are glowing, and there is also a faucet in the sink that emits blue light.

The rooster portrait that Charles had hidden here was quickly removed.

"Who made this?" Dumbledore quickly understood the function of the portrait.

Harry said: "I think it was Charles who did it. We told him that the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets might be here."

Everyone regarded this matter as Charles taking precautions and did not delve into it further.

These portraits were kept for now, and everyone began to study the faucets.

"snake?"

At the same time, Charles frowned at the end of the secret passage.

This is an ancient stone wall. Now there is a hole as big as a fist in the wall. Braving the cold wind, the marks around the hole are very new and there is no dust at all.

Charles had not yet learned the magic spell to pass through solid objects like Peeves, so he could only transform into Animagus form and squeeze through.
