Chapter 87: Myrtle
With Hagrid's departure, the panic of "heirs" and "monsters" attacks that pervade Hogwarts has begun to dissipate since Valentine's Day, and everything is starting to return to "normal". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, people realized that because of panic, they couldn't even notice the passage of time, and before they knew it, Easter had arrived.
Again, why do wizards have Muggle religious festivals! The whole day price Merlin is long, Merlin is short, why is there not even an anniversary? That's not a serious deal, isn't it?
During the Easter holiday, Darren ushered in a new test, he should choose the third year course, looking at the class schedule sent down: Potions class, compulsory class; History of Magic, compulsory; Charms, compulsory; Defence Against the Dark Arts, compulsory; Transfiguration, compulsory; Herbal Medicine Course, Compulsory; Astronomy class, a must-have!
The remaining electives on the schedule are Divination, Protecting Magical Beasts, Ancient Magic, Muggle Studies, and Arithmetic Divination.
There are a total of 12 courses, and there are 7 compulsory courses, so what else to choose! In Darren's view, basically what a wizard should use is in the compulsory courses, and the so-called elective courses have no value to learn at all, at least for wizards who do not plan to develop in the direction of related majors, it is worthless.
It's just that not everyone thinks like Darren, especially Hermione, "this affects our entire future," she said, as she pored over the list of new courses, marking them.
After a while, Darren saw that Hermione had chosen all the contents of the class schedule, and although Darren could make her memorize fewer books, there was no way to prevent her from taking more classes......
Originally, Darren thought that it would be good to take compulsory classes, but after comparing Hermione's class schedule, he thought that it would be better to add the protection of magical creatures class, at least he couldn't go there with food, although it was difficult to say who rubbed whom.
Just as a group of second-year students were studying the class schedule, Darren suddenly saw Percy hurrying over, holding a stack of pieces of paper in his hand, "Darren, Hermione, and Colin, you better come over for a while." ”
Looking at Percy's serious expression, Darren and Hermione stood up and followed Percy to a corner of the common room, but it was not only Colin who came over, but also Harry and Ron, who must have thought it was fun again.
Percy glanced at Harry and Ron, as if he wanted them to leave consciously, but unfortunately it didn't work at all, and Harry and Ron still sat on the sidelines with great interest, waiting for Percy to start.
"Alas," Percy sighed helplessly as she looked at Harry and Ron, "As you said earlier, I went to the library to find a record of the 'Slytherin heirs' and the Chamber of Secrets in the school, but unfortunately, there is no record at all, except for a little vague record in the book "Hogwarts, A History of the School". ”
Hearing Percy's words, the people around him showed disappointed expressions, and at this time, Percy was heard to continue, "But the fact that Hagrid was taken away by the Ministry of Magic gave me a little inspiration, so I went to look through the information about Hagrid, and found that he was expelled from the school fifty years ago, and in the same year, the school's roster showed that in addition to Hagrid's expulsion, there was one less student, and the reason marked was accidental death." ”
"Oh my God," Hermione covered her mouth, she had never imagined that the so-called "purge" of the Slytherin heir would be so bloody! She thought she was kicking the students out of school.
"But it's kind of weird, if Hagrid is really the 'heir', then he shouldn't just be expelled from school, he will be sent to Azkaban, but one of the students died!" Ron also had his say.
"Don't forget that the record says that the student died 'accidentally,' and you can't send someone to Azkaban because of that," Darren reminded Ron, plus, "What else is there to do?" ”
"And the last one, the student who died, her name is, Myrtle!"
"Myrtle!" Hearing this, Darren could tell that the rest of the people were shocked, they had never thought that the ghost who cried and cried all day was actually a victim of the last secret room opening incident.
"But why didn't anyone die this time, but were all petrified?"
"Then who knows, maybe it's some kind of ability of that monster, maybe it's the new hobby of the 'heir', everything is possible."
"It's a pity that Hagrid was taken away by them, otherwise we could have asked him about the situation."
"Even though Hagrid has been taken away, there are still people to ask." Hermione was sure.
"People? Who? Harry didn't react after a moment, "Are you going to ......?"
"Yes, let's go ask Myrtle directly, she must have seen the attacker."
"Well, I don't think you should get your hopes up, Myrtle has been a ghost for so many years, if she can tell what the murderer looks like, I'm afraid Dumbledore would have caught that guy a long time ago, but unfortunately, obviously, this murderer is still wandering around Hogwarts." Percy pursed his lips.
"But at least we can ask what really happened, and maybe find something new by comparing it to my experience with Hermione......
"I don't know," Myrtle said mysteriously, for she had never had so many listeners, "I just remember seeing a pair of frighteningly large yellow eyes, and my whole body seemed to be caught, and then I floated away......"
"Huge yellow eyes? That's what you see? Although he was mentally prepared, Percy was still clearly not happy with the result.
"Well, although there is very little information that can be provided, at least we know a little, considering the size problem, so it can be concluded that the monster has a pair of huge yellow eyes."
"There's a monster with huge yellow eyes, but what's the use of that?" Ron said dissatisfied, "Do you think Myrtle can know who the 'heir' is?" ”
"I said it was impossible, otherwise that madman would have been caught......"
Ignoring Harry and Ron, Darren said to Percy, "Now we have a lot of details, snake-like size, big, yellow eyes, can petrify or kill people, I don't think there will be many monsters that match these characteristics, by the way, and one thing, very long lifespan!" At least from Salazar? The Slytherin era has survived to the present day. ”
