Archaeologists at Hogwarts
Chapter 174 Abnormal Notebook and Secret Room
Chapter 174 Abnormal Notebook and Secret Room
Of course Toby plans to do archeology.
On the night he returned to Hogwarts, he first quietly went to Hagrid's cabin and stole a few roosters without alerting anyone.
The crowing of the rooster is the basilisk's Achilles' heel.
And in the second attack, Toby finally knew what the hell was trying to kill him - a huge basilisk, which might have been alive for a thousand years judging from its size.
This is simply irrefutable evidence of the existence of the secret room.
Except for Slytherin, none of the founders would want to raise a dangerous basilisk.
Now that Principal Dumbledore has disappeared again, he seems to have forgotten his promise to take Toby to Azkaban to solve the dangers of the Pharaoh's mask, but Toby no longer cares.
This is a rare opportunity.
That's why Toby didn't tell anyone about his return, not even Angela.
Toby didn't want to be disturbed during the archeology, and he didn't need any help. He was enough on his own.
Moreover, this is Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.
Toby has always wanted to know why he was sorted into Slytherin House, and he wanted to find out for himself.
Due to the characteristics of the black walnut wand, Toby understands himself more clearly.
He cannot deceive himself.
After installing the roosters in special cages, Toby and Al took advantage of the night to come to the Black Lake together.
Water stains.
The traces of water accompanying the Basilisk that appeared twice were Toby's only clue and led him to the location of the Black Lake with the hope of successfully finding the secret room.
Because the amount of water in the Black Lake is the largest, this is obvious.
Al saw Toby opening a hole in the frozen lake. The water under the ice was mixed with fallen ice. It looked bitingly cold, let alone looking for traces of the basilisk at the bottom of the lake.
It whispered "yeah" twice, trying hard to make its body look bigger, but it looked like a furry doll no matter what. It couldn't become stronger at all, and it didn't look like it could keep out the cold.
appearance.
Toby looked at its strange appearance, so he simply put Al and the roosters into the cage, and then cast a big soaking spell on the entire cage, so that Al would not have to touch the cold lake water.
.
As for Toby himself, he just cast a head soaking spell for himself, and then jumped into the lake with a "plop" and dived deep in the darkness.
The witch robe was completely soaked, and it seemed as if it was blown by a fierce cold wind while swimming through the algae. However, the expression on Toby's face did not change at all. The magic array under the clothes flashed slightly, causing the swimming fish to automatically avoid it.
Open and stay away from this dangerous smell.
The basilisk cannot live in the lake for a long time, and it appeared in Hogwarts Castle twice, which made Toby's goal clearer - he did not wander around in the black lake, but headed directly towards
Swim in the direction of Hogwarts Castle.
It didn't take long for him to find the goal of his trip - a wide and winding water pipe extending into the black lake. Toby got in without hesitation. After swimming around for a while,
Float to the surface of the water again and arrive at the underground pipe under the castle.
"This should be it."
Toby opened the cage, and the water stains on his clothes turned into mist and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Al fluttered his rooster feathers and jumped out. He shivered twice in the cold air, then jumped onto the small flying carpet he had just taken out, and walked deeper into the pipe with Toby.
"Let's do a preliminary search. I hope the secret room is at the end of these pipes."
——
The underground pipeline system of Hogwarts is extremely complicated, which did not allow anyone to discover Toby and Al who were searching for the secret room in the pipeline.
But Ginny is an exception.
Her mood had calmed down a lot after the trip to the Forbidden Forest, but Luna's unexpected revelation still made her uneasy again - how did Professor Heimer come back? Why didn't anyone notify anyone?
Could it be that Luna saw it wrong?
She really hoped that this was the case, not because she didn't want to see Professor Heimer come back safely, but because if it was true, wouldn't what Tom said be true as well - Professor Heimer was obviously doing something secretly.
planning.
According to Tom, Professor Highmore is the real murderer, and he is the one who opened the secret room this time. He wants to control the monsters in the secret room. For some crazy purposes, Professor Highmore can do anything, even
Including killing the students in the castle - because he set the location of the experiment at Hogwarts, it could endanger the students at any time, but he didn't care at all.
It was already late at night, but Ginny did not return to the dormitory to sleep.
She sat on the sofa in the common room, staring at the flames in the fireplace in a daze. At the same time, she was very entangled in her heart, not knowing who to listen to and what to do next.
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded beside her.
"You look troubled."
Ginny turned her head and realized that it was Professor Angela. She had appeared in the Gryffindor common room at some unknown time and was sitting on the sofa not far from Ginny.
How did she get in? Where was the password? Why didn't I hear anything?
Angela no longer had that cold look, she looked simply charming, making Ginny see nothing but her, and her eyes gradually became distracted.
Because she is Professor Angela, she is so beautiful
"Can you tell me why, Ginny."
"Of course, Professor."
Tom Riddle's notebook, stained with paint from the wizard's robe, Professor Toby Highmore under suspicion, and the Thestral recognized by Luna.
Ginny said everything, she was completely unaware of what she was doing, and she always had a look of fascination on her face.
"You did well, Ginny. Now, give me Tom Riddle's notebook, and then you go back and have a good sleep and forget all this."
Ginny put the notebook in Angela's hand like a zombie, then she walked towards the spiral staircase in a daze and left the common room.
Then, Angela also left. She came to the deserted corridor, still holding Tom Riddle's notebook in her hand, but did not open it, but walked down the stairs.
Of course she would not forget Ginny's abnormality when she was being questioned outside, so she deliberately came to find Ginny tonight.
As for the method just now, it's not like she didn't learn anything from Toby. Besides, Angela didn't actually do anything extra at all, she just wasn't so restrained anymore.
No longer restrained, the charm of the witch in the lake.
That's much more astonishing than a Veela. People who don't have strong willpower can't stay awake.
Angela regarded this as her own curse. Although Toby had comforted her that she was not a witch but a fairy of the lake, this could not change the fact that she got into a lot of trouble because of it.
But what's the reason for Toby?
Angela involuntarily left the castle and came to the dark playground, walking aimlessly.
She suddenly became like Ginny, completely unaware of what she was doing.
After walking into the edge of the Forbidden Forest, she accidentally tripped over a branch and Tom Riddle's notebook fell from her hand, but it did not attract Angela's attention at all.
She was still thinking about Toby and forgot all about this notebook.
Toby's return without notifying anyone. Plus the missing Headmaster Dumbledore
Could it be that he secretly killed Dumbledore and was preparing to become the new headmaster?
All right.
Angela thought carefully and returned to the castle.
This certainly seems like something Toby would do.
——
Just as Toby silently took the blame, Tom Riddle's notebook suddenly floated up and flew deeper into the Forbidden Forest.
No one knows what it does because those who matter have forgotten its existence.
Toby Highmore, Al, plus Angela who almost got it.
The unknown magic changed their impression of themselves, causing Toby to completely forget the fact that there was such a notebook after waking up. Al also forgot to remind him that Angela was controlled by the notebook.
As for the rest of the people, Ginny, Luna, and Lockhart, none of them were guilty of letting it use such mysterious methods.
But this also consumes the notebook's little magic power. Staying away from Angela is the best it can do.
It needs to be hidden until the day comes again.
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, something grabbed the notebook floating in the air. No matter how hard I tried to break free, I couldn't escape. This unusual palm was placed in front of an even more unusual visor.
The armor that was ordered to hide in the Forbidden Forest looked at the notebook in its hand. It felt that it seemed a little familiar, and it seemed to be related to the reason why Toby asked him to stare at Lockhart.
But why does this notebook appear here?
Armor is not good at thinking. Its inherent mission is to fight, and fight without stopping.
So, it made the same decision as usual. It opened the lid of the coffin behind it, planned to throw the notebook into the coffin, and let Toby take a look at it later, leaving everything to him to worry about.
But at this moment, the little remaining magic power of the notebook suddenly appeared out of thin air. It successfully affected the armor and made it no longer remember him, but it still couldn't stop the other party from throwing him into the coffin.
After the lid was closed again, the armor stood in front of the coffin, motionless for a long time.
What did it just do?
Forget it, it has nothing to do with an armor that just needs to be hidden anyway.
It picked up the long ax, carried the coffin, and walked deeper into the Forbidden Forest.
This will make it easier to hide.
——
Hermione and Ron heard about Harry's encounter with the basilisk. They discussed it for a while, but couldn't come up with a decent answer.
"I don't understand." Ron said, "Why did you suddenly become the heir? What kind of basilisk is that? He is clearly a liar."
Facing the looks of Hermione and Ron, Harry summoned up the courage to say: "It's true, the Sorting Hat once considered sorting me into Slytherin - yes, you heard it right."
He finally told the story.
At this moment, Harry felt as if he had lifted a heavy burden, and continued in the shocked gaze of the two: "I know this is unbelievable. I didn't like Slytherin House at first, and neither did Snape."
Very annoying. But Professor Highmore is different. He changed my view of Slytherin House. Besides, he was a special case. He was sorted into Slytherin as a Muggle-born, so a Gryffindor.
Tadashi was almost sorted into Slytherin, so it seems like it’s not that hard to accept.”
Ron was shocked and said: "What do you mean, do you want to be transferred to another hospital?"
Hermione also stood up and said with a dazed look in her eyes: "This must be unprecedented, I'll go to the library and look for it -"
"Come back quickly!" Harry quickly pulled her back: "I never thought about it, how could I go to Slytherin, I just. I just don't want to hide this matter anymore. There is also the matter of Professor Heimer,
What do you think?"
After being silent for a while, Ron and Hermione came to a common conclusion - they had nothing to say and could only continue to implement the Polyjuice Potion plan, hoping to get more useful clues from Malfoy.
This is to confirm whether a lot of speculations are true.
"Okay." Harry finally said, "Let's wait until Christmas."
On the other side, after encountering Professor Angela's questioning at night, Ginny really forgot everything.
But she still subconsciously came to the prize showroom at the agreed time. After seeing Luna, she asked doubtfully: "What did I come to see you for? Why don't I remember it at all?"
Luna glanced at her, then lowered her head and wrote in her notebook: "Mom, Ginny seems to have lost her memory. Should I tell her?"
[No, dear. I still hope you can live a happier life, and leave your worries to the adults.]
So Luna didn't say anything, but asked about Ginny's Christmas vacation plans.
They all planned to go home, so Luna wanted to invite Ginny to her home during the holidays, and let her taste the delicious Gordig root tea at home.
"Is it really delicious?" Ginny asked doubtfully.
Luna nodded affirmatively.
In the school, Angela was still looking for the stolen wizard potted plant. Lockhart complained loudly that it was a pity that there was no teacher recognition ceremony this year, otherwise he would have won first place. Dean McGonagall's class became more and more complicated.
The more serious she became, the students all knew why she was like this - Principal Dumbledore still hadn't returned to school and was nowhere to be seen.
Fortunately, there were no more attacks, and it seemed that even the heir wanted to have a good Christmas and not cause any more trouble.
Harry was very happy to hear Malfoy's plan to stay at school. He, Hermione and Ron spent the whole day in the abandoned bathroom, carefully taking care of the polyjuice potion that was about to be brewed.
It is worth mentioning that the basilisk never appeared again, allowing Harry to concentrate entirely on his plan to deceive Malfoy.
In such a cheerful atmosphere, Christmas has arrived.
And Toby, after checking the countless water pipes underneath, he carried the cage, which contained only the last surviving rooster, and appeared with Al at the end of one of the tunnels.
In front of them stood a solid wall, on which were carved two intertwined snakes, with large, shining emeralds in their eyes.
"It seems that we have found the secret room." Toby said.
