A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

The next day, Felix came to the hallway where last night's attack took place and, not surprisingly, met Filch.

The corridor was obviously cleaned by him, and the water on the ground disappeared. On the wall where the words "The Chamber of Secrets is Opened" is written, there is an empty chair.

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

"Mr Filch."

Filch turned his head, his eyes bulged, his face was abnormally flushed, and he was still muttering, but when he saw Felix, he still greeted him politely: "Professor Hepp."

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

Felix didn't deal much with this Filch when he was in school. At that time, he didn't have Mrs. Norris as a helper, and he was completely immune to his threat with his excellent illusion spell.

Filch stepped aside and stood aside somewhat bewildered. He blew up his identity as a Squib only yesterday, and facing this genius professor today, he didn't want to stay for a second.

"Well, then I'll leave first, Professor, I still have something to do..."

"Go on," Felix responded. "Oh, yes." He waved his wand, and the writing on the wall faded.

"what?"

He was a little surprised, and quickly moved to the wall, looking up and down at the writing. "It seems to be a mandatory magic, but it is not a permanent adhesive spell." Felix pointed at the wall with his wand, and soon the writing disappeared.

"Thank you, thank you." Filch blushed, said hurriedly, and left quickly, without even taking the 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 looked closely at the ground, where there was a burnt mark.

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

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

It was a rather dark, damp place, with stained walls, standing water on the floor, peeling tiles on a drain, and the only source of light was a few black candles.

Resisting the discomfort in his heart, Felix kept his eyes wandering.

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

She looked at Felix and clearly recognized the professor.

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

"Teach, Professor?"

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

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

Felix: "..." As for? It's not that I just want to ask you a question, but I can't bear it without embarrassment.

Felix said: "Myrtle, I know you're here, did you see that attack yesterday..."

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

Immediately, he heard footsteps not far away, and was startled in his heart. He hurriedly put an illusion spell on himself, quickly left the bathroom, and passed by a red-haired girl.

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

His fame was ruined.

In the next few days, he cooperated with several professors when he was not in class and searched the entire castle, but of course he found nothing.

One day in the auditorium, Felix was thinking about it while he was having lunch.

"The reason for everything is the Dark Lord's Horcrux, but it seems useless to know... I don't know who the heir is, where the secret room 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 open the dusty memories for a long time. He seemed to see something, "Harry" fighting a giant snake. But his memory was rather vague, and he wasn't sure if he had memorized the string. In his impression, "Harry" seemed to have dealt with a large group of Dementors by himself.

how can that be? Ordinary adult wizards can't do it, can they?

Also, how could the Dementors attack the school?

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

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

But he ran into problems again.

What snake has petrified power?

All Felix can think of is Medusa, but this magical creature is extinct.

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

He didn't make up his mind until after lunch. However, he soon had a new idea. He collected the rumors about the secret room at Hogwarts over the years and screened them one by one.

Maybe the truth is hidden in the rumors.

...

Three days later, Felix stood opposite a tapestry of "Trolls Beat Barnabas" on the eighth floor of the castle, watching a silver door slowly appear with a strange expression.

Here, did you find it?

After a little hesitation, he tapped his chest lightly with his wand. Light flashed across his wrists, ankles, and chest, and then he stepped inside.

This is an oversized garbage storage room, with all kinds of waste piled up into mountains, broken quills, old books, damaged speculum... He also saw the golden snitch with half of its wings missing.

He walked around carefully and found no clues.

"A hidden room?" It was hard for him to imagine that the proud Slytherin would put the Chamber of Secrets here.

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

the other side--

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

After a few days of flipping through the materials to no avail, and the rental list of "Hogwarts, A History of the School" has been lined up for two weeks, the Gryffindor witch finally raised her hand to ask questions in the history of magic class, for the benefit of everyone, Gained valuable secret room information.

Poor Professor Binns had to get out of the course schedule and talk about "myths and legends" under the watchful eyes of the crowd, much to his annoyance. After this episode, his otherwise sluggish, dry voice picks up speed - making his lessons even more hypnotic than ever.

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