Chapter 65: What Makes Amandor Haunted
Thank you for the monthly pass ()

"Good, good! It's that potion, it's that potion! ”
Holding the flask containing the Crimson Potion, Dippet muttered to himself in an excited voice.
It's just a bottle of potion, is it necessary to be so excited?
His gaze wandered over the potion and Depet's face for a second, smiling as he reached for the potion.
"Principal Dippert, I'll hold it for you."
Dippet subconsciously dodged, but Xu was too weak to dodge.
The moment her finger touched the vial, a system prompt was displayed on the interface that only she could see.
Quest Item: A strange potion of unknown purpose, spilling it somewhere may recreate the scene of returning to the center.
Bright eyes flashed, and Rossi, holding the flask, spoke again:
"Headmaster, where are you going to put it?"
At this time, Snape's embarrassed emotions forcibly suppressed: "Headmaster, didn't you say that after you finished this potion, you still want me to do something else for you?" What needs to be done? I'll do it now. ”
Somewhat uncomfortable, he wanted to find a chance to get out of here quickly.
Hearing this, Dippet was stunned for a moment, and after his eyes wandered over Snape and Rossi for a second, he suddenly smiled and said:
"Severus, I have a letter on my desk, can you help me get it to Dumbledore?"
Send a letter to Dumbledore?
This was what he thought of on a temporary basis, right? Rossi muttered silently in her heart.
Snape didn't doubt him, walked over to his desk and picked up a letter, and after checking with Dippert, he hurried out of the headmaster's office.
After he left, Rossi's gaze quickly swept around the principal's room, but he didn't notice anything different, so he asked instead:
"Principal Dippert, is there anything you need me to do?"
Dippert laughed and said, "Very keen observation, worthy of being the youngest Auror in the past hundred years." ”
That's because I'm a player, a traverser, uh...... Plus a little bit of luck.
Rosie muttered to herself, not feeling how good she really was.
Motioning for her to let go of herself, Dippert moved to his desk and sat down with slow, broken steps.
"It's old! When I was young, this level of injury was not like this at all. ”
He first sighed that the years were unforgiving, and then propped up the table with his elbows, and looked at Rosie with uncertain eyes, "Miss Rosie, you should be able to understand that sometimes, people can't help but recall the past, regret a decision when they were young, and regret the stupid things they did at the beginning." ”
Noticing his unfocused gaze, Rosie realized that he wasn't looking at himself at all:
"But regret can only be regret, rather than regretting the past, it is better to grasp the present."
"A lot of times, it's true."
Dippet nodded, but then asked with a smile, "But what would you do if you were given a chance to change the past?" ”
Rosie let out a "uh", glanced at the potion in his hand, and immediately thought of something:
"Then I will definitely seize the opportunity and try my best to change those regrets."
"Yes, that's what I thought." Dippert laughed "haha".
After a moment, he stopped laughing and said:
"In my life, I have done a lot of wrong things, but those are my choices, although I regret it, but I don't regret it."
After a pause, he continued in a reminiscing tone: "But what keeps me haunted is an old incident more than ten years ago......"
With that, he suddenly closed his mouth and made a gesture of touching his forehead with both hands, hiding his face behind his arms.
“…… Rosie, the recipe for that potion was obtained by me from the leader of the Correctional Agency, and I have verified it before, and it does have the power to change the past. You take it, go to the abandoned bathroom on the second floor, and sprinkle it in the second compartment on the right......"
After a pause, he added, "...... If you can, help me save a girl named Myrtle. ”
"Ding, Adventure Mission: Sprinkle potions of unknown purpose in the second compartment to the right of the abandoned washroom on the second floor."
Huh? Is this to take me back to Voldemort's school days and save Myrtle?
But isn't the abandoned women's bathroom on the second floor open? How do I get in?
She had visited Hogwarts after it had opened, but it was sealed off with an iron lock that could not be opened.
In the midst of his thoughts, Rossi asked Dipet:
"Principal Dippert, isn't the abandoned bathroom on the second floor locked?"
Dippet didn't reply, still in that position.
"Headmaster?"
Rosie suddenly had a bad thought in his heart, and was about to go up to check it, when he heard the Sorting Hat on the cabinet next to him suddenly speak:
"Don't worry about him, he can't wake up when he's asleep."
Just asleep?
Secretly exhaling, Rosie turned to look at the Sorting Hat:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Sorting Hat, the abandoned bathroom on the second floor is sealed with a magic lock, do you know where the key is? Or how to open it? ”
"I don't know where the key is."
The Sorting Hat grinned, but, "Maybe you can try and split it with a blade that can cut through magic." ”
"A blade that breaks magic?"
Rossi immediately thought of the dagger given by Grice, the teeth of the basilisk in the original book can even destroy Horcruxes, it should be regarded as a blade that can cut through magic, right?
"Yes, you need to find a weapon like this, um, I know it's hard for you, after all, it's not the era of dual wielding of staff and sword, um~ even Gryffindor hasn't been able to keep this tradition."
There was a long grunt of words, and the Sorting Hat was still a little unsatisfied, "If you're a Gryffindor, you can even get ...... from me Uh, I mean, try to find the Gryffindor Sword, it's an absolute magic breaker. ”
It sighed again, and continued, "It's a pity you're not a Gryffindor, oh, yes, I've seen your profile, and you didn't go to school......"
"Mr. Sorting Hat!"
Rosie interrupted its nag, "Do you rarely talk to people?" ”
"Oh, of course not, I sometimes talk about portraits of former Hogwarts Headmasters, but I'm too familiar with them to brag about it...... I mean, there's not much to talk about. ”
You're talking about bragging, right?
Glancing at it funny, Rosie, who had something to do, was in no mood to make small talk to it:
"Well, I'll talk to you if I have the chance, but for now, I have to complete the task that Principal Dippet has given me."
With that, she put the potions in her inventory, opened the door to the headmaster's office, and walked out.
"Eh, you're leaving? Do you know where to find the Demon Breaker's Blade? The Sorting Hat shouted behind him.
Without looking back, she raised her right hand and shook it, and she walked briskly down the spiral staircase.
Twenty minutes later, Rosie arrived at the door of Myrtle's bathroom.
He took out the dagger and slashed hard at the iron lock, and the next moment, the washroom, which had been closed for an unknown amount of time, was finally opened.
The smell of decay hit his nose, and Rosie couldn't help but cover her nose and take two steps back.
After the rich smell had almost dissipated, she covered her nose with a handkerchief before she cautiously walked inside.
It's similar to what you entered in the dungeon, except that it looks a little shabby and dirty.
Irritated by the unpleasant smell, Rosie walked briskly to the second compartment on the right and pushed it away.
She knew it was the cell where Myrtle's ghost was.
After a little scrutiny, I didn't see Myrtle's ghost appearing.
However, Rosie didn't come to look for her, so she casually took out the bottle of potion from her inventory and poured it into it.
