The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

"It's just a connection between souls and bodies, but don't worry, she won't recognize me." Riddle said lightly.

"Myrtle should be the victim when the Chamber of Secrets was opened last time?" Erwin suddenly asked.

This is easy to see because Myrtle is the only girl ghost in Hogwarts, and she even wears the Hogwarts uniform.

Over the years, there has been only one death case of a student at Hogwarts.

"Yes, but her death can only be attributed to her own bad luck. I don't know her, so naturally I won't deliberately take her life."

Riddle's flat tone was full of indifference to life. For a person like him, it would be ineffective to condemn him with the death of innocent people. So Erwin did not hesitate and directly asked him about the details that interested him.

.

"In other words, Myrtle's death was an accident?"

"It can be said that the basilisk is a rare combat power. I originally planned to find a way to take it out of Hogwarts after graduation. But at the time I was not familiar with the mechanisms left by Slytherin.

An omission opened the exit in the bathroom, allowing the basilisk to slip out, causing this death." Riddle told the story calmly.

The current remnant spirit of Riddle controls Ginny to release the basilisk in the hope that the monster can hunt him enough souls and magic power, but Tom fifty years ago did not have this need. For all reason and reason, he should have left the secret room with the snake.

The existence of the monster is kept secret to hide his Slytherin blood.

There are many people in Hogwarts, and most of the professors have quasi-master-level magic skills. It is really stupid to release a basilisk in such a place and let it take the lives of one or two people, because it is discovered

The risk is huge and there is essentially no gain. Riddle has no reason to do this, at least not before he has graduated.

Myrtle's death was most likely an accident, and Riddle probably wasn't lying.

"The death of this stupid girl caused me a lot of trouble. It took a lot of effort to remove the suspicion and let them identify another student as a suspect. That student had a giant spider, the perfect scapegoat... They pout

Breaking his wand, but mercifully letting him stay at Hogwarts... Yes, that's the Hagrid you know."

Riddle told the story in a calm tone, very candidly, in detail, without any disguise, as if he was just a bystander rather than the culprit. And he had no regrets, fear or doubts.

Erwin couldn't help but take a deep breath. The culprit who caused a major change in Hagrid's life turned out to be this person.

Although he is friends with the gamekeeper and has helped him a lot, Erwin will not be passionate about revenge for Hagrid. He and Riddle are now in a cooperative relationship, and this relationship is destroyed because of an outsider.

is inappropriate.

A hot-blooded young man will think that he is an absolute supporter of justice and truth, but a more mature person will consider more. Justice will definitely be done, but justice that does not concern himself does not need to be done immediately.

Of course Riddle also knew this, so he confidently revealed everything.

"The final result of this incident was that the then principal, Old Dippet, took the blame and resigned. This is a result that I am happy to see. The old guy is very annoying. This can be regarded as unintentional."

Sixteen-year-old Riddle is calm, rational, clear-thinking, determined, and gifted. He is undoubtedly an outstanding talent.

Although he is not kind at heart and has almost no moral requirements for himself, he is still very different from Voldemort, who later gradually moved to extremes in thinking and behavior. What kind of encounter made Riddle transform into that kind of appearance?

?

This is unknown.

"So you really don't have to worry. Myrtle won't know me. She doesn't even know why she died. Even if I appear in front of her, she won't be able to call me by my name." Riddle continued: "

You don’t have to worry about silencing her, just let her stay in this toilet.”

Getting back to the topic, "According to you, Hermione's situation is not difficult to deal with?" Erwin asked.

Riddle did not answer immediately, there was a hint of playfulness in his tone, "Why are you so interested in her? Do you mean you like this little girl? To be honest, she looks a bit ugly, not as cute as little Ginny...

"

"He is my niece." Erwin responded with a cold emotion.

"It's really a strange relationship." Riddle said no more, "Polyjuice potion is included in the sixth-year advanced potions course at Hogwarts, and the consequences of improper use and how to deal with it are directly marked in the textbook. You

My little niece’s abnormal one-way deformation caused by Polyjuice Potion.”

"So what's the solution?" Erwin asked.

Although you should be able to find the answer by searching in the library, it will definitely take a lot of time. Asking directly is the fastest way to get the answer.

This is also where Riddle's value lies.

"There are many solutions, and all of them can guarantee an almost 100% cure rate. After all, polyjuice is a magic potion with a long history, and all aspects of it have been studied in detail... The simplest and most effective way is

Use Polyjuice Potion itself."

"What's the meaning?"

"Let her drink the polyjuice potion with her own ingredients added. Drink it in small amounts many times. Don't drink too much at one time, because too much may cause reverse growth or body collapse. Use a deformation blocker on her after each drink.

Curse, almost a week is enough to complete the form retrieval."

Tanori

"What are the other options?"

"It's more troublesome and takes longer, at least a month, and you won't want to try it."

Then there is no choice.

I happened to have a bottle of Polyjuice Potion in my hand, which was a birthday gift from Harry and the others this morning. And the week was right during the Christmas holiday, which could minimize the impact.

The only question is, "The Transformation Blocking Spell shouldn't be a particularly complicated spell, right?"

"Of course not, it shouldn't be difficult for you."

While Erwin and Riddle were communicating, Harry and Ron gave Hermione a lot of advice, but none of them was useful.

Going to the campus hospital was the last resort, but now it seems to be the only option.

"I have a way." Erwin said at this time.

Hermione looked at him in astonishment, her cat ears raised, making Erwin pay more attention.

Hermione seems...a little cute like this?

Eliminating distracting thoughts, Erwin told the three people the solution provided by Riddle.

"Do you understand all this?" Ron looked at him with a little awe in his eyes, "Is there anything else you don't know?"

Hermione habitually wanted to raise questions, but when she thought that this was a matter related to herself, she lost her mind for a moment.

She just wants to cry loudly now.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that you will be back to your normal self within a week." Erwin comforted her in a rare soft tone.

"But how can I prevent others from finding out during this week?" Hermione asked with a tearful voice.

After all, she is only a twelve-year-old girl, and it is easy to lose her opinion at this time.

"It's Christmas vacation now, and there are only a few people in the school." Ron used his wisdom. "Have all the other girls in your dormitory gone home for the holidays? If so, you can stay in the dormitory until you transform.

The effect wears off." he asked Hermione.

"No, the Patil sisters are still here," Hermione said.

It's the Indian twins.

"How about asking them to keep it a secret?" Harry suggested hesitantly.

"Impossible." Hermione groaned, "If they see me like this, it will only take half a day for the whole school to know."

A girl's ability to keep secrets at this age is probably better than the secret leaks used in Potions class.

"Do you need a separate dormitory?" Erwin pondered for a moment, "You guys wait for me here for a while."

He came back fifteen minutes later, followed by a petite black-haired girl.

It was Melanie. Ron was afraid to look at her. He had always had a strange fear of beautiful girls.

"It's you?" Hermione was a little surprised.

"That's really exquisite makeup, Miss Granger?" Melanie covered her mouth and chuckled.

The blush on Hermione's face was not even covered by the black cat fur.

Of course Melanie didn't come here to see a joke. "If we need an unoccupied dormitory, we first-year girls can spare one here," she said directly.
