The three of them left the underground classroom in a panic, and as they walked on the road, Hermione suddenly said, "I think we should go and apologize to Myrtle, what do you think?" With that, Hermione looked at Harry and Ron.

Ron didn't even think about it and exclaimed, "Apologies!?" Why should we apologize to her! She was the one who attacked me first. And even if you have to apologize, it should be you who apologize, and I didn't say anything bad about her......" Under Hermione's unkind gaze, Ron's voice became quieter and quieter.

Seeing that Ron stopped talking, Hermione turned to Harry and said in a tone that you dare to ask for you to look good if you don't agree, "Yes, it's true that I want Myrtle to apologize, but shouldn't you go with me as a friend?" ”

As soon as Hermione's words fell, Harry immediately answered, "Yes, Hermione, we will accompany you." With that, Harry wittily stopped Ron's grumbling, and Hermione walked ahead satisfied.

……

"What's wrong, Harry?" Hermione asked cautiously, everything was fine, the three little ones came out of the underground classroom and went straight to the women's bathroom on the third floor, but as they walked, Harry suddenly stopped, and still held his forehead, which made Hermione very uneasy.

"That voice, it's coming again!" Harry looked up at the wall in front of him and said with certainty.

"What!? Harry, you mean 'that voice'?! Hermione asked, questioning.

"Yes!" Harry repeated it with certainty.

"Oh no! No, Harry, I thought you were just having some auditory hallucinations because it was too late, huh. Hermione said with some embarrassment.

"Don't you believe me?" Harry looked at Hermione with some annoyance. "Of course, I trust you Harry, but it's not a good thing to hear something in the wizarding world that no one else can hear!" Hermione defended herself a little and then immediately said with concern.

Yes, it wasn't the first time Harry had heard this voice, Harry had been in Lockhart's office to write back to his fans, and then he heard it, but at the time Lockhart didn't hear it at all, and even thought that Harry was having auditory hallucinations because it was too late, Harry had thought that his friend believed him, but now it seems that it was clearly not.

To prove his words, Harry carefully identified the source of the voice, and then ran upstairs with Hermione and Ron. As she ran, Hermione asked, "Harry, what did he say about that voice?" ”

Harry made a closer look before he said, "It's not very clear, it seems to say, the smell of blood...... Tear...... Kill ...... Harry, who was just trying to verify his words, ran even more urgently. Unfortunately, if they could stop and take a look, they would find themselves running towards the girls' bathroom on the third floor.

Harry stopped abruptly and said breathlessly, "No, that voice is gone here." Harry still seemed to wonder how the voice could suddenly be gone, and Hermione screamed, "Look, what's that?!" ”

The three Harry slowly moved forward, revealing that it was a cat hanging upside down, Lady Loris of Filch, and that the wall was written in bright red with the words "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, descendants of the enemy, beware." ”

"I think we'd better hurry up!" Ron's voice trembled a little, but it was too late, and the people who had attended the dinner were coming up in a row, and people were coming on both sides, and all the noise and footsteps came to an abrupt end when they saw an upside-down cat and three helpless little wizards.

At this time, Filch's voice came, "What happened?" Get out of the way, let me see! Filch squeezed in, apparently the anomaly had caught the attention of the faculty.

"My cat! My cat! Lady Loris, what's wrong with her? Filch screamed.

Suddenly, he turned his head and stared at Harry, "It's you, it's you, it's you who killed her!" I'm going to kill you—"

"Filch!"

Dumbledore arrived at the scene at this time, surrounded by a large group of teachers, and Bernard, who did not attend the dinner, somehow appeared here. While shouting at Filch's actions, Dumbledore untied Lady Loris.

"Follow me, Filch." Dumbledore's tone was still gentle. "Come too, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger."

"You can use my office, just upstairs, whatever you want with the headmaster." Lockhart enthusiastically stepped in.

The silent crowd had already been led by the prefects towards their respective house lounges, but the gossip on them was clear that the matter was not over, while the teachers, led by Dumbledore, rushed towards Lockhart's office.

……

Dumbledore placed Lady Loris on the smooth table and began to examine it. Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat quietly on the side, looking at Dumbledore uneasily, exchanging nervous glances from time to time, and Hermione turned her head to give Bernard a quick look.

Dumbledore's long, curved nose was so close to Lady Loris' that it almost touched its hair, Professor McGonagall was looking at it carefully, Snape was hiding in the dark, as if he was holding back a smile, looking at the three of them with a very bad gaze, Bernard stood silently, but he had been listening carefully to Dumbledore's spell, which seemed to be a very profound manifestation spell, but unfortunately, the medicine was not right!

Lockhart had been babbling since he came in, "I'm sure it was the Transfiguration Torture Curse that killed it, I saw ......it when I was traveling," Lockhart's words were interrupted by Filch's sobs, but then, Bernard's words made them both turn around.

"Lockhart, I think you're wrong, Lady Loris isn't dead." Seeing Filch's incredulous gaze, Bernard repeated affirmatively: "Yes, not dead, I think it must have just been petrified." ”

Hearing Bernard's affirmation, Professor McGonagall also turned to look at Bernard in surprise, and at this time, Dumbledore spoke, "Bernard is right, it's just petrified." The three of Harry had been pleasantly surprised from the moment Bernard spoke, and now they were even more relieved to hear Dumbledore's words.

"Oh yes, I saw it a long time ago, I knew it was petrified!" Lockhart immediately changed his tune.

But everyone didn't care about his words for a long time, everyone's eyes were on Dumbledore, but instead, Dumbledore's eyes were on Bernard, and he asked gently, "Bernard, how do you see that?" This petrification curse is very peculiar, and I have been able to determine it with great difficulty. ”

"Well, when I was in Egypt, I saw a similar petrification symptom, a very clever petrification curse, well, it was an exploration in the Lower Egypt region, a burial chamber in the pyramid of Menkaura, when Mr. Howard used a very wonderful cracking spell, it is said to be Edjo's curse." Bernard thought for a moment and said this.

"The Serpent God?" Dumbledore deserved to be a top wizard, and he reacted immediately, and he continued to ask, "Then do you have a way?" Bernard! ”

"Yes, I can try." Bernard said uncertainly, then stepped forward, drew his wand and began to cast a spell on Lady Loris, a language Harry had never heard before, but looking at Dumbledore's expression, which seemed to be a mixture of surprise and affirmation, and nodded slightly.

A burst of blue light swept over Lady Loris's body, and Harry's hearts were lifted, and the professors were more concerned, but Harry's hearts immediately fell to the bottom, because Lady Loris's eyes looked the same as before.

"No!" Filch let out a desperate roar, while Lockhart grinned from the sidelines, as if he was happy to see Bernard make a fool of himself.

But Bernard turned to Dumbledore and said, "Professor, I did my best, and that's all I could do." ”

"Very well, Bernard, that would be fine, I think Snape could cure Lady Loris, wouldn't he, Severus?" Dumbledore turned to look at Snape and said. On the other side, Professor McGonagall whispered, "It's just a pity." ”

Harry, the three of them didn't know how to be sorry, because the three of them happened to be there after making it clear that they didn't know anything because they were attending Nick's death party, and the three of them were taken away by Bernard.
