Chapter 85: Records
Hearing Penelope's words, Darren suddenly felt a sense of discomfort, but before he could speak, Penelope had already left. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As it turned out, Penelope was only half right, and she did regret it, but the people who regretted it were Darren and Professor Flitwick, because not long after she left, she was found near the library, and she was also petrified by magic!
Upon hearing the news, Darren immediately followed Professor Flitwick to the scene, where he found a broken dressing mirror not far from where Penelope had fallen, and fortunately there was this mirror, otherwise Penelo's life would have been lost.
"It's so hateful that you actually attacked my students!" Professor Flitwick was furious at Penelope's attack, and what made him most angry was that Penelope had just left him and was attacked before he even arrived at the library.
Now that it was clear that Darren's fears were correct, Professor Flitwick walked with them to the door of the Gryffindor common room and watched them return to the common room before leaving.
There was a lot of discussion about Penelope in the common room, and Darren and the others bypassed the crowd and found a table to sit down, and Harry and Ron also came over and sat down.
"This year's Quidditch tournament was cancelled because of the attack, and Wood almost fainted when he heard the news, but if he continues to train like this, I'm afraid we won't need the 'heir' to come out, and our whole team will have to go to see Merlin." Harry explained that he had been at Quidditch Training Ground at this time.
"Darren, you're right, that so-called 'heir' of Slytherin is really targeting us, and he will attack us as soon as we are alone." Hermione continued, "I'm afraid the three of us are his only targets now, and as long as the professors don't find that 'heir' and monster, sooner or later we will all be petrified like Penelope." ”
"What kind of monster is it that can petrify people and attack ghosts?" Ron muttered.
"Luckily, I heard from Professor Dumbledore that when the mandrake matures, he will be able to prepare a medicine to de-petrify, and then we will know who the murderer is." Harry was well-informed.
"But I remember Mrs. Sprout saying that the mandrakes won't mature until the end of May, and that's more than three months to come, poor Penelope, and oh, and Justin." Hermione really has a very good memory.
It seems that because the victimized "people" that have appeared so far have been petrified, people still don't know the real attack method of the monster, which may cause some confusion to Hermione, but Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall should know that the "heir" can kill, although Myrtle died in a blur!
"I think you should all get out of school now," Darren said to Hermione and Colin again, "it's clear that the murderer is going to get rid of Hogwarts, a wizard like us who comes from a Muggle family, this guy is undoubtedly a madman, but a madman capable of carrying out crazy ideas, and it's not wise to confront it head-on in this situation, leaving here for the time being will keep you safe and come back when the matter is resolved." ”
"......" listened to Darren's words, Hermione and Colin fell silent, after all, the current situation is already very dangerous, the three of them have become the last "target" in the school, even if Hermione and Colin don't know that the real attack will kill people, but being petrified and lying motionless for a few months is obviously not a good experience.
“…… There have already been two Gryffindors attacked, a Gryffindor ghost, a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff. "Suddenly, in the break room, the Weasley twins' friend Lee Brown. Jordan exclaimed, "Has any of the teachers noticed that the Slytherins are all safe?" Isn't it obvious that all of these things came out of Slytherin? The heirs of Slytherin, the monsters of Slytherin—why don't they just get all of them out?" He shouted loudly, and the audience nodded frequently and burst into sparse applause.
"No," Hermione said suddenly, "Lee is right, this must have something to do with Slytherin, and we must find the murderer and make Slytherin pay the price to get that 'heir' out of Hogwarts." At this time, she was already gritting her teeth.
Oh, Hermione, have you been with Harry for a long time, and you're starting to be brainless? It really doesn't have anything to do with Slytherin!
"But it's going to be attacked!"
"It's not a big deal, isn't it just lying down for three months."
"Not bathing, brushing your teeth, or washing your face for three months?"
"......" At this time, Hermione showed a trace of hesitation on her face, but just when Darren felt a little hope, that trace of hesitation disappeared, "That's not afraid!" It can't be worse than Penelope anyway. ”
"......" faced with Hermione's determination, Darren found that he had nothing to say.
Led by Hermione, Colin also decided to stay and fight the "heir" to the end. Even, "Darren, if you feel dangerous, you can leave the school first." ”
…… Obviously, I was trying to persuade you to go out and hide!
Darren was a little surprised by this sudden situation, and didn't know how to warn Hermione and Colin, because it stands to reason that he shouldn't have known about what happened fifty years ago, and he shouldn't even know that there was Tom, because no one knew about Soup. The existence of Riddle's diary.
At this time, Darren could only solve the mystery as soon as possible, "I remember Dumbledore saying at the time, 'The Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened again', I think that means ......"
"This means that there have been similar incidents before!" Hermione was the first to react, "In that case, we should look and see how they solved it before." ”
"But, now, I don't think there's a chance to get to the library safely unless I'm accompanied by a professor, don't you see Penelope?"
"Wait, you mean that if you find the previous records of the Chamber of Secrets, you can find the 'heir' and the monster?"
Suddenly a voice came from the chair next to them, and Darren and the others turned their heads to see that it was Percy, who looked pale and frightened.
"Oh, what ...... that"
"George told me that Percy was terrified," Ron whispered to Harry, biting his ear, but the voice was not much lower, "the Ravenclaw girl, Penelope. Kerryvat - a prefect. Percy had probably thought that the monster would not dare to attack the prefect, so he had to find the monster as soon as possible. ”
