A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor
Chapter 37 The investigation of the trio
After class, Harry, Ron and Hermione walked out of the room discussing the intelligence they had just received from Professor Binns.
"I've known for a long time that Salazar Slytherin is a perverted old lunatic," said Ron with disgust.
Hermione was still sorting through the current information: "Professor Binns mentioned the monster in the Chamber of Secrets. No one knows what it is, but Harry, we already have a direction."
She gave Harry a deep look.
Harry miraculously understood what he was saying, and he glanced quickly from side to side and whispered, "You mean, my Parseltongue..."
Ron also looked at the two of them in horror.
"That's right!"
The three squeezed through the crowded corridor and soon came to the corridor where the attack took place.
The scene in front of me has changed a lot from that night. The stagnant water was emptied, the petrified cat was no longer hanging on the torch's bracket, and the text that read "The secret room was opened" was also cleaned up.
However, there was an empty chair against the wall.
"Felch has been on guard here," Ron whispered. "He's been very irritable lately, and he's often deducting points for various reasons, such as speaking too loudly or smiling."
"It's none of our business, we just need to check the scene to see if there are any missing clues," Hermione said.
Several people moved quickly, Harry was lying on the ground, his glasses were almost touching the ground, and soon he found the scorch marks, and Hermione also found the spectacular sight of spiders lining up to escape the castle.
"What does that mean?" Harry asked, puzzled.
Ron stayed away from the spider with a terrified look on his face: "This can explain a lot - for example, the spider is afraid of that monster."
Hermione combed the clues as usual: "So, the attack is a snake, which is characterized by its attack can cause petrification effects, and is the natural enemy of spiders. This clue is very close to the truth!"
The little witch said excitedly: "Give me a week, at most two weeks, and I can find out the information about it. Ron, honestly, why are you shaking there all the time?"
So next, Ron tells the story of holding a teddy bear when he was a child, and the twins used lame magic to turn the bear into a lot of legs, which made her giggle.
Ron said angrily, "It wouldn't be funny if you had an experience like that. Imagine you're holding a teddy bear and shouting its name, and all of a sudden it's got a lot of legs..."
"The water on the ground is gone," Harry said suddenly.
"Maybe someone cleaned the floor, like Filch, that's his job," Ron said without hesitation.
"Where did the stagnant water come from?" Harry intuitively thought this might be a clue.
"Ah! I figured it out." Hermione screamed.
"What's wrong?"
"I figured out that a possible witness, who was right next door to us, may have witnessed the entire attack."
Following her gaze, the two boys looked at the sign of the girls' bathroom and swallowed together.
...
After supper they went out of the castle and followed the path to Hagrid's cottage.
Along the way, they were still arguing about what happened during the day.
"Let me tell you, we shouldn't be going to the girls' bathroom, that myrtle, and that place... it's a nightmare! And we were discovered by Percy," Ron rambled along the way.
"But we also know that she died fifty years ago. Before she died, she saw a pair of big scary yellow eyes. What does that mean? Those are snake eyes."
Hermione ignored Ron's muttered "not necessarily" and continued: "Your information is also very useful, we also know the name Tom Riddle, who won the school's special contribution award fifty years ago, Maybe it's not a coincidence!"
Harry's eyes widened, "You mean, the heir that Tom ended the last Chamber of Secrets."
"That's right."
The three knocked on Hagrid's door, and he warmly welcomed the three little wizards in.
Ron looked surprised. "Hagrid, your house is clean."
Indeed, the three of them looked at Hagrid's hut. It wasn't a little bit clean. At least it was visible to the naked eye. The black floor had turned into a dark brown floor.
"Oh, you said this," Hagrid said casually. "Professor Hepp came to visit me last time and helped me clean up before leaving. It was easy for him, just wave his wand."
"Professor Hepp?" Hermione asked in surprise.
"Yes, Professor Happ. Dumbledore recommended him, he needs a little advice on Fantastic Beasts, I'm an expert on that, but he's not bad, very insightful in some obscure directions, yes Yes, very insightful."
Hagrid served a plate of pretzels, a pot of pumpkin juice, and three cups. He proudly said, "Professor Hepp is an excellent wizard. I didn't have much contact with him when he was in school, but—" He pointed to a book on the chair, "Look, he gave it to me. one's gift!"
The three of them couldn't wait to open the book, and Hermione found that this book was somewhat similar to Muggle comics, most of which were photos, and there was a brief introduction at the bottom of each page.
"Are these Fantastic Beasts?" Ron asked curiously, completely different from what he had seen as a child.
"No, it's a muggle world creature," said Harry excitedly. "Look, it's a lion, it's a giraffe—it's got a long neck, I've seen it at the zoo, it's a badger, and The Hufflepuff logos are somewhat similar, but they're certainly not the same."
Hermione was no stranger to these animals, having read the full Encyclopedia Britannica, which had chapters on animals. But pictures in Muggle books don't move.
So Hermione asked, "Is this a book made by Professor Hepp himself?"
Hagrid took a gulp of Butterbeer and burped. "Yeah, very careful, right? I think I owe him a favor..."
After a long time, the three people remembered their intentions.
"The Chamber of Secrets? The Heir? The Monster?" Hagrid's face turned pale.
"Yes, we found some clues, fifty years ago..." Harry was about to introduce their findings, but was quickly interrupted by Hagrid.
"Listen, there are no secret rooms and no monsters, it's just an accident!" Hagrid was a little excited, waving his thick palms, then his voice became smaller, and he muttered: "It's really an accident, no one thought of it. Something like that would happen, no one..."
The three were then kicked out of the hut.
"He's definitely hiding something!" said Ron indignantly.
"We can see that."
The three returned to the warm common room, had to face the reality, and started to catch up with their homework.
After a while, Hermione suddenly closed the book, startling the two of them.
"You said, who would that heir be?" Hermione asked them in a low voice, and seemed to be talking to herself.
"Definitely a Slytherin, Malfoy I guess," Ron said quickly.
Harry immediately accepted this point of view, "Maybe it really is him, you think, their family has been pure blood for generations, he has a reason to do so, and most importantly, he has been hit a lot recently-- He was locked up by Professor Hepp for insulting Hermione!"
Hermione's breathing stopped suddenly.
Ron also seemed to have found a theoretical basis, "Harry, you are so right, he must have done it, maybe the Malfoy family is a descendant of Slytherin, and their family has kept this secret for generations... Right, Hermione?"
At this time, the twins came over from a distance, "I seem to hear you talking about Professor Hepp. Did he do anything interesting?"
The twins sat on either side of Harry and Ron.
"Nothing." Ron said quickly.
Fred, who was next to him, put a hand on his shoulder and winked at the three of them. "Come on, we can exchange information. We also have a lot of admiration for Professor Hepp."
George next to Harry smiled and said: "Yeah, very admirable, we can't wait to take him apart and study his head carefully."
Fred sighed, "George, you sound like we have some ill will towards Professor Hepp."
"Have it?"
"of course not."
"We at most—"
"Trying to imitate his magic puppet." The two of you said one sentence at last, and finally said in unison.
Harry thought for a while, "Well, we went to Hagrid's hut in the evening and saw a magic book from Professor Hepp."
"What is it about?"
"Muggle animals, as you know, Hagrid is obsessed with them."
"Cool!" The twins looked at each other and said in unison.
Ron said: "It's up to you, we agreed to exchange information."
Fred blinked, "Our little Ronnie has learned—"
"—It's hard to lie." George followed.
"However—who made you our younger brother." Fred often joked and whispered: "We can provide information, you know, we are fans of Professor Hepp, if any of you want to Find out about his whereabouts, such as initiating a chance encounter or something..."
Ron said in surprise, "You follow the professor?"
"Don't say that, we just got a little help. For example, Professor Hepp has been going to the Forbidden Forest a lot recently." Fred shrugged and casually said a big news.
"Forbidden Forest?" Hermione asked in surprise.
The three looked at each other.
