Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Unrecognizable Secret Room

Looking at the lady who was walking briskly towards this side, Rosie glanced at her teammates in some amazement.

Professor McGonagall? That's a coincidence, isn't it?

Muttering to herself, she turned her gaze back to the small hole in the wall again.

The tip of the staff drooped, and Rossi spun around.

"Footprints revealed!"

As the incantation was pronounced, a golden mist instantly diffused from the tip of the wand.

Without a moment's pause, she immediately pressed her wand against the visible footprints.

"Manifest!"

The golden mist swirled up like a stream of wind and snow, and in an instant, it formed a golden image on the footprints more than twenty centimeters long.

The man was wearing a mask and couldn't see his looks. Judging from the size and stature, Rosie thinks it should be a male player whose race has chosen goblins.

But the identity profession of a hunter made her mumble a little about this judgment.

Because the elf's talent advantage is a wandless caster, which is a percentage damage bonus to magic.

Pick a hunter class, which obviously doesn't match the talent of the elf race.

In the midst of his thoughts, he saw the player pounce forward with agility, and the whole person drilled through the hole in the wall without hindrance.

"What's going on?"

Just then, McGonagall walked over, "I just heard gunshots. ”

"We were attacked."

Rosie, who didn't expect to catch up, looked at McGonagall, "Professor McGonagall, is there a stranger at Hogwarts?" Were there any people with firearms in there? ”

In her opinion, as long as someone from the opposing team appeared at Hogwarts, it was impossible for McGonagall, as the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts, not to know.

However, McGonagall's answer surprised her:

"Muggles only use firearms, and you don't know that Hogwarts is a wizarding academy, so how can anyone bring a firearm?

As for strangers, we have also recently investigated that no one else in the school except for staff and students is in or out. ”

"No strangers?"

Jiang Jing asked suspiciously, "Have those secret passages leading to the outside of the school also been checked?" ”

Hearing this, McGonagall's gaze quickly swept over the faces of the four people, and she muttered:

"All the known secret passages have been sealed by us, and there may be some unknown secret passages left, but there are definitely not many."

Huh? What's going on?

Rosie couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, it wasn't possible that the opposing team didn't enter Hogwarts, and the plot was affected so much, right?

Exhaling, putting the question down for a moment, Rosie asked again:

"Professor McGonagall, can you tell us exactly what happened? We've just returned from an out-of-town trip and don't know much about what's going on at Hogwarts, so we need to refresh it. ”

"Okay, let's talk as we go."

McGonagall nodded, and as she spoke, she turned around and walked towards the outside of the station, "Since Dumbledore left Hogwarts......"

As soon as she spoke, she directly released a bombshell, which caused Rosie to exclaim:

"Dumbledore left Hogwarts?!!"

McGonagall snorted and looked at her suspiciously:

"Haven't you heard? This is all what happened last year. ”

Last year? That's what happened in the Philosopher's Stone dungeon?

Oh my God, what did the player on the other side do to force Dumbledore out of Hogwarts......

Away cut...... This away game is outrageous!

was secretly slandering in his heart, so he listened to Jiang Jing on the side and explained:

"We've been out on a mission before, and the news there is relatively closed, and when we came back, we followed Rosie straight here, so we didn't notice the news."

After a pause, he asked, "What happened last year?" Why did Headmaster Dumbledore leave Hogwarts? ”

Hearing his question, McGonagall sighed deeply, and a sad expression appeared on her face:

"Actually, it shouldn't be Dumbledore's fault......"

"After all, Harry bears the name of the savior, and it is only natural that Dumbledore expects more from him."

McGonagall's tone made Rosie feel a little uneasy, and she quickly followed the other party, listening carefully to what she had to say:

"After Harry entered the school, Dumbledore set some tests, which were intended to train him. But I don't know what happened along the way, Harry was seriously injured and has not yet woken up. Because of this, Dumbledore offered to resign......"

Hiss!

Rosie gasped, and McGonagall's answer was completely beyond her imagination.

What exactly did those players on the other side do in Philosopher's Stone? You actually play the dungeon like this...... It's outrageous! They must not have read my strategy!

"And where is Harry now?"

"At St. Mungo's Hospital, Ms. Boham is treating him."

"What about Dumbledore? Where did he go after leaving Hogwarts? ”

"I don't know, he said he was going to give himself a long vacation, and then he lost the news."

Not......

It's fine that Harry fell into a coma, but why did Dumbledore resign voluntarily?

Rosie's head was full of question marks, and after a moment, he asked again:

"And who's the current headmaster of Hogwarts?"

"The official headmaster hasn't been appointed yet, so I'll act for the time being."

McGonagall's voice was a little low, and she didn't seem to feel that she was commendable to be the acting headmaster of Hogwarts, but she felt a sense of loneliness, "At the moment, it seems that I am very incompetent as the acting headmaster, and the students frequently have accidents in the school, but I can't do anything. ”

Speaking of this, there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry, we'll fix it!"

Rosie whispered a word of comfort, then pulled the conversation back on track, "Can you continue to talk about the Chamber of Secrets......

Raising her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, McGonagall said as she walked:

"Ever since Dumbledore left, Hogwarts hasn't been at peace. Especially since the beginning of the school year this year, all kinds of rumors have spread everywhere in the school, making the teachers and students of the school panic. One of the most widespread is 'The mysterious man has returned, and it was he who forced Dumbledore away; He will take control of Hogwarts and purge all non-pure-blood wizards'. ”

"In order not to worry the children because of unfounded rumors, in mid-October, I ordered them to be forbidden to spread any rumors. But it was also around this time that the first attack took place at Hogwarts. ”

Speaking of the sad things that saddened her, McGonagall breathed heavily, "In the hallway of the Marvel statue on the west side of the second floor, where Lady Loris was petrified, and next to it, someone wrote in chicken blood: 'The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, enemies of the heir, be on alert.'" ”

"By the way, Lady Loris is the cat of Filch, the caretaker of Hogwarts."

Explaining, McGonagall's voice choked up, "In early November, Gryffindor's freshman, Ginny Weasley, was discovered...... In the corridor on the eighth floor; In mid-November, Hufflepuff's Liwana Tage was found near the one-eyed hunchbacked witch statue on the fourth floor; On the fifth day after that, Marietta Ekmo of Ravenclaw was found in the hallway on the third floor; Then there was Colin Creevey of Gryffindor, who was found in the corridor on the eighth floor. ”

Maybe she didn't say it explicitly because she thought the word "death" was too cruel, but that didn't stop Rosie from understanding the meaning of her words.
