Chapter 260: "Reptiles"
"Potter, Weasley, and Miss Granger, what are you doing here?"
In the petrified corridor on the second floor, William asked Harry and the others in some surprise.
It was the second Wednesday of November, and when William returned to the corridor at noon, he was surprised to see Harry and the others on all fours, crawling on the ground.
I have to say, this scene is really a bit spectacular!
Seeing this scene in front of him, even William couldn't help but be a little confused. He originally wanted to go to Myrtle, but he didn't expect to run into this scene.
Did Harry awaken some strange reptile gene?
"What are you doing here if you don't go to lunch? It's still so weird, could it be that I've fallen for some new prank spell that I don't know about? With a smile on his face, William teased a few people.
"William! You, how did you end up here! Hearing William's voice, Harry and the others quickly stood up, they never expected that the corridor that was empty just now would come to the students so soon, it was still William Friedrich, one of the students they least wanted to meet.
In shame, several people's faces turned red apples.
"No~~ we didn't fall under any spell~~We~~ We're just looking for clues, you know, about what happened that night." Harry blushed and explained to William.
"Is that just looking for clues? I have to say, your search method is really chic. With that, William covered his mouth and tried not to laugh too loudly.
He really couldn't help it, the savior's brain circuit was really too strange!
"Enough, Friedrich! It's up to you what we do! Hearing William's laughter, Ron shouted in annoyance.
"Be quiet, Weasley. Do you want to yell and provoke Filch? How do you think he would feel when he saw the three of you here again? With a hint of banter, William asked Ron.
Hearing this, Harry hurriedly covered Ron's mouth, he was in enough trouble now, and he didn't want to add another Filch at all.
After that night, Filch, who had lost his cat, became unusually crazy and paranoid, and he stalked Harry and the others more than once, trying to find evidence that they had mutilated his cat.
Not only that, but he brought a chair and sat under the wall that said "The Chamber of Secrets Has Been Opened" all day. He seemed to believe that the murderer would come back, and it had to be said that Filch's sense of smell was still somewhat acute.
The entrance to the secret room is indeed not far from the stone wall, and the murderer will come here more than once.
But old Filch really thought that he could get a dark wizard who was suspected of using clever black magic?
William looked at the walls on either side, and he quickly noticed that it had been a long time since the attack, but the words were still shining brightly on the stone walls.
It was supposed to be written in the juice of a chameleon snail, and it was impossible to understand it by ordinary means, such as "Mrs. Skoll Brand Universal Miracle Stain Remover".
This is also the reason why Filch's efforts to erase the words from the wall ended up in vain, only magic can solve magic, and Filch, he is a squib who can't cast magic.
What's more, what's even more interesting is that none of the professors have ever taken the initiative to solve such a problem.
They probably had the same idea as Filch, but the difference was that these skilled professors didn't need to be here almost all day like Filch.
"He's right, Ron. We really can't get Filch's attention right now. After explaining to Ron, Harry let go of the palm that had been pressing against his mouth.
They had just finished their boring History of Magic lesson and stumbled upon the hallway on their way to the Great Hall for lunch.
After noticing that Filch was not here and that there was no one in the hallway, Harry began to look for clues at the scene of the crime.
That night, Harry and the others didn't take a closer look, and they were soon taken to Lockhart's office by the professors who had arrived.
That's it, this is what William just saw, the strange behavior of Harry and the others crawling on the ground, they are actually looking for clues.
"And what are you here for?" After calming down the restless Ron, Harry asked William with some curiosity.
"Are you here to find clues, too?"
In Harry's opinion, William had also come here to look for clues, after all, they were the first students to find out about the attack that night, and they were also taken to Professor Lockhart's office.
Hearing this, William glanced at Harry with some amusement.
"Looking for clues? No, I'm not going to do such pointless and time-wasting things, I'm just here to discuss something with Myrtle. ”
"Looking for myrtle? What can you do with that pimple-riddled crybaby? Hearing William's answer, Ron asked with some confusion, his empty brain was probably difficult to understand William's behavior.
"Weasley, did anyone tell you that your mouth stinks?" William really didn't want to deal with Ron, he felt that doing so was simply lowering his IQ.
William glanced at Ron with intense disdain, and then he walked past several people and strode in the direction of the girls' bathroom.
"That's the girls' bathroom!" Seeing William's whereabouts, Hermione, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but remind.
"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Granger. My eyes were still very good, and I could clearly see the small letters written on the bathroom. William paused, glanced back at Hermione, and replied.
"I mean, aren't you a boy? How can you go into the girls' bathroom! Hermione, who sensed the strange tone of William's words, had a hint of anger in her voice.
"What does it matter? There was no one in there either, just a crying but lustful ghost. Also, the bathroom doesn't have a no-go like dormitory in the lounge, so why can't I go inside? ”
With that, William had already walked to the door of the girls' bathroom, and just as he was turning the doorknob, Harry's voice came from not far away.
"Wait a minute, William. You know something, right? Can you tell us some clues, don't you want that murderer at large to be brought to justice? ”
"Look at the spiders, Harry, maybe you can find some clues." With these words, William turned the doorknob, opened the door to the girls' bathroom, and stepped inside.
He didn't have time to spend time on the pointless hide-and-seek with Harry.
Knowing that the plot is developing, William has more important things to do.
