177. Hogwarts Campus Legends
However, unlike what McGoth expected, or when you feel 100% sure, the outcome tends to play a joke on you. When they gathered that evening to exchange the legends of the various houses, McGoth was surprised to find that there was no such thing as a Slytherin heir.
The absent-minded McGoth watched them happily exchange the information they had obtained, and sighed silently, thinking that he and Hermione would go to the library tomorrow. However, the others felt that they had some ideas, and to be honest, if it weren't for his foresight, he would have been interested in the few legends they had singled out.
There are three school legends that have made him vivid, the first is the missing ancient magic robe from Hufflepuff, and it is rumored that more than a hundred years ago in Hufflepuff there was a senior student who liked to search for ancient magic items, and he did not know where to buy a magic robe that was often worn by wizards in the Middle Ages. And since he brought the magic robe to Hogwarts, there would often be things in their dorm that disappeared, at first they were worthless ordinary items, and then developed into magic props that they brought with them privately, which made them realize that something was wrong, and after checking one by one, they finally found that the disappeared thing was probably eaten by the magic robe, this discovery made them both excited and puzzled, because they did not find the items that were eaten by it, and finally had to put it away. Until one day, one of the students in their dormitory had lost his wand, and they couldn't find it, and they immediately suspected the magic robe, but when they opened the box, they found that the magic robe was also missing. The loss of the wand was impossible to hide in the school, and it was not long before rumors of the magic robe eating the wand spread throughout Hogwarts, and it was only then that the other students and the headmaster at the time became aware of it.
The headmaster at the time, Phineas Nigel Les Black, a Slytherin graduate, hated self-righteous students, and was particularly disgusted by carrying unknown magical items without permission, so the graduating seniors were unfortunately expelled from school. The robe reappeared shortly after he dropped out, this time by many students and faculty members, and it suddenly appeared in a magical beast class, and then wrapped around a magical animal called Sniff, and then it disappeared with the magical beast, and the headmaster at the time also tried to find the magic robe, but found nothing. Later, whenever a student loses something inexplicably, it will be remembered by people for the first time.
Although this ancient magic robe has not disappeared with a person, Harry and they think it is still possible.
The second is a well-established campus legend from the four colleges, the Crazy Staircase.
Legend has it that when Mygoth first arrived, whenever a new student came to Hogwarts, the senior students would tell them that there was actually a hidden staircase that would take anyone who accidentally stepped on it out of this world.
This legend, which made people feel a little fake when they heard it, was now found to be true by Hermione, which made McGoth and the others involuntarily feel afraid. Next, Hermione told them what she had discovered, and according to some of the books she had checked, it was recorded that in the early days of the school, there was actually a course that taught dark arts, and its original intention was similar to the current Defense Against the Dark Arts, teaching students to be aware of the dangers of using dark magic, but since the four founders of the academy passed away one after another, this course began to turn sour, and the professor who served as this course no longer told them about the dangers of dark magic, but consciously guided some students to learn black magic. Because of the chaos in the wizarding world at the time, the incumbent principal did not stop this behavior, and this acquiescence made the professor of this course more and more unscrupulous, until a professor actually wanted to use students to do dark arts research was stopped, and he was the last professor of the dark arts class.
The professor's favorite thing to do is to study all kinds of dark magic, which he believes can not only be used as a means of attack, but also try to introduce black magic into the bodies of animals and plants, so as to see what becomes and whether it can be controlled when affected by black magic. Crazy ideas are accompanied by crazy actions, he started with magic plants at first, most of the magic plants were imported into black magic and withered and rotted on the spot, but there were also a very few who survived, but without exception they became bloodthirsty and uncontrollable, which made him feel that it was not okay to experiment with only magic plants, so he added the use of magical animals to do this kind of experiment, and the results were the same as magic plants. The same results made him feel like he had reached a bottleneck in his research. Later, when he tried to use a student to do such an experiment, he was found out and told the headmaster at the time, who reprimanded him and warned him not to hit the students' attention again.
He was a little reluctant to be able to experiment with students, but he didn't dare to disobey the principal's orders, so he shifted his gaze to the moving stairs that can be found everywhere in the school. The exact process of the experiment is not recorded, but it is known that the moving staircase after his experiment went crazy, and the first victim was the professor of the dark arts class, who was standing on the staircase for the experiment. The disappearance of the professor did not attract the attention of the school at the time, as the professors of the school often left the school to search for materials. Later, this crazy staircase killed several students one after another, causing panic, and those murdered students disappeared inexplicably in the school like Kang now, and the then principal and the deans of the four colleges did not find it, until a professor inadvertently stepped on it and was attacked, and was finally destroyed by the then president and the four deans.
"This has been destroyed, Kang should have nothing to do with it, and Kang is still alive now." Ron suddenly had the illusion that he wasn't safe at home at school.
"Yes, but the students who were killed at that time disappeared inexplicably and are a bit like Kang, do you think it's possible that the professor of dark arts was experimenting with more than just moving stairs, or more than that moving stairs......"
Everyone including McGoth was frightened by Hermione's words, and listening to such a legend and Hermione's analysis late at night made McGoth feel like the protagonist of a horror story.
"No, it won't." Colin, who was attending their secret meeting with Magos for the first time, said with some trepidation as he held his camera.
"I'm just using what we know to analyze it, it's just random speculation." Hermione looked startled and added.
