Chapter 279: The Chamber of Secrets
With Voldemort retreating, Hogwarts regained its former peace. However, this calm was only superficial, as Dumbledore asserted that Voldemort would one day make a comeback.
Time always flies without people noticing, and by the time Qin Hui came back to her senses, Luna was already a second-year wizard apprentice.
As in previous years, the first was the boring entrance ceremony and the mess of new students. These new students were even more unruly than Harry's class. One by one didn't understand anything, it was like a stupid person. And there is always a freshman named Kling by Qin Hui's side, who likes to hold an old camera and ask Qin Hui questions.
"Professor Qin, can I take a picture of you?" Just when Qin Hui was drinking afternoon tea and enjoying a leisurely life. Clin, who was holding an old camera, reappeared beside Qin Hui.
"Don't you have something to do!" Qin Hui looked at Klin, who was smiling cheaply, and really couldn't imagine how a child who was only eleven years old could have such an expression on his face.
"Serious business! I'm getting down to business! Kling patted the camera in his hand and said proudly; "Professor, I'm an official reporter with the Daily Prophet, and I've even thought about the topic of the newspaper now, which is called the secret I can't help but tell with the professor at Hogwarts who doesn't teach."
Kling pressed the shutter of the camera in his hand, swiped twice, and took two photos.
"Professor, can you tell me how you can Dumbledore to allow you to take your professor's salary and not teach your students? Is this a trade for power, or is it evil money at work? ”
The camera in Klin's hand swished, and white light shone towards Qin Hui.
"What a bad boy!" Just when Qin Hui stood up and wanted to carry out campus violence, a panicked figure ran towards Qin Hui's cool pavilion.
"Professor, Professor Qin! Oh no, something big is wrong! The man shouted loudly as he ran, looking very panicked.
"Mr. Goyle, what's going on?" Qin Hui looked up and saw at a glance that the person who came was Malfoy's follower.
"Professor, dead, dead," Goyle said in a panic, but he couldn't tell who was dead for a long time.
"Who died? Dumbledore? Looking at Goyle's appearance, Qin Hui felt that maybe Dumbledore had died suddenly, otherwise the students would not have had such a big reaction.
After hearing Qin Hui's words, Goyer shook his head again and again, glanced at the camera that Kling had raised, and hurriedly explained; "Head Dumbledore! No, no, it's not Dean Dumbledore, it's Mrs. Norris! Mrs. Norris has been murdered, and Dean Dumbledore has called me to inform you. ”
"Mrs. Norris! Who's that? New professors! Qin Hui muttered Mrs. Norris's name, and she was pretty sure she hadn't heard of it.
"Professor, I know who Mrs. Norris is." Just when Qin Hui was secretly puzzled, Klin slowly raised his hand.
Qin Hui's eyes looked towards Klin, only to see Klin stumbling and saying; "Mrs. Norris is Mr. Filch's cat."
"Cats! No way! When a cat died, you actually said it was a big deal! Are you making me laugh! Qin Hui looked at Goyle with an expression like a fool, but she didn't expect that it was just a cat who died, and Goyer made such a fuss.
Looking at Qin Hui's unhappy gaze, Gao Er shook his head again and again, and said carefully; "Professor, it's not that simple, just now Harry and the three found Filch's cat hanging from the ceiling, and someone had written it in blood. Literally, the millennium of waiting has arrived, and with the opening of the Chamber of Secrets, the heirs of Stetelin will return once again. ”
"Descendants of Stetelin! Has the plot of the secret room begun? Listening to Goyer's words, Qin Hui nodded secretly, and then his robe swung, and his figure disappeared directly from the sight of the two who had not yet reacted. Only Clint was left with an excited face, and Goyle, who was still scared.
"I've been working at Hogwarts for over forty years, and I've worked hard without credit! Anyway, my cat can't die in vain, someone has to be punished for this matter! Just when Qin Hui had just found the place of the incident, Filch's roar came from his ears.
"Professor Qin, you're here." Dumbledore nodded slightly at Qin Hui, and then calmed Filch with a sad face.
"Mentor, Mr. Filch suspects that Harry killed his cat!" Luna, who was standing in the crowd, walked to Qin Hui's side and whispered.
"I see." Qin Hui nodded, looking at the three Harry who were isolated by everyone in the crowd.
"I swear, Mrs. Norris was already like this when I came, I didn't touch it!" Looking at everyone's distrustful eyes, Harry said eagerly.
In fact, it is not to blame that everyone does not trust him, because when everyone arrived, Harry's hand was about to be placed on Mrs. Norris's body, and with this scene seen with their own eyes, everyone would think that Harry did it.
"Mentor, who do you say did it?" Luna pulled the corner of Qin Hui's clothes and asked in a low voice.
"Don't you doubt Harry?" Qin Hui asked softly.
Luna brushed the blonde hair on her forehead and replied; "Of course not, Harry and the three of them are a little naughty, but they are not bad in nature!"
"Naughty!" Qin Hui looked at Luna amusedly, because Luna was only the same age as Harry and the others.
"I know you like to play with Harry and them, but you're going to have to be a little cautious lately because someone is going to target them. Also remember what I said about Fanny's bathroom? Qin Hui plans to teach Luna a lesson first, otherwise it won't be fun for Luna to follow her to find the secret room.
"Of course I remember, you said there was danger there, and you wouldn't let me go." Luna nodded, a little weakly.
"It's a good thing not to go, until you don't have a certain strength, curiosity will only kill you. Because you don't have the protagonist's life, you can always turn evil into good fortune! Qin Hui replied affirmatively, not caring at all if Luna could understand what she was saying.
"Mentor, what is the life of the protagonist!" Sure enough, after hearing Qin Hui's words, Luna also asked strangely.
Qin Hui looked at Filch, who was persuaded away by Dumbledore, and said with a smile; "Aren't you surprised? Have you ever wondered why all the weird things keep happening around the three of Harry? ”
Luna thought for a moment, her eyes scanning Harry's three bodies; "It's a little weird, it seems like there's always something going on around Harry, and everything is so unbelievable, as if someone had arranged it!"
"This is fate, it is a reality that must be faced!" Qin Hui said pointedly, and after saying this, Qin Hui left the hall without looking back. I didn't even look at the cat hanging from the ceiling, and Luna with a strange look......
"Prepare everyone, now I'm going to give you a fun magic trick that turns your pet into a goblet!"
In Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall holds a wand and explains the mysteries of Transfiguration to everyone.
"Professor, may I ask a question?" Just as everyone was practicing their newfound magic, Hermione raised her hand.
"What's the matter, Miss Granger Hermione?" Professor McGonagall pushed her reading glasses on her face and looked at Hermione as she raised her hand and asked.
Hermione rose from her seat and asked softly in the eyes of everyone; "Professor, can you tell us about the Chamber of Secrets? I think we should know something after this happened! ”
"Chamber of Secrets!" After hearing Hermione's words, the students present talked about the killing of Mrs. Norwich before. Because Mrs. Norwich's death seems to be connected with the legendary secret room.
Under the eager gaze of everyone, Professor McGonagall was silent for a moment, then returned to his seat on the podium, and sighed; "Well, as students in Hogwarts, you should also know these secrets hidden under history, after all, you have this right."
In this way, under the eager gaze of everyone, Professor McGonagall fell into her own memories, as if she had passed through the barrier of history, and returned to the time when Hogwarts was just founded.
