"Suffered!"

Hearing his own voice from the previous timeline coming from the castle, Rosie suddenly felt bad, and immediately grabbed Myrtle's arm and walked back.

Annoying! This time shift, nothing has changed!

As if sensing something, the myrtle girl who was being dragged by her did not struggle anymore, wiped the tears from her face with her empty arms, and asked suspiciously:

"What's going on?"

Seeing that Rosie didn't care about herself, Myrtle grabbed her arm with her backhand and asked in a voice that was still a little choked:

"What the hell is going on? Why do you ......?"

Eyes noticed the gold chain around Rosie's neck, and her voice instantly became startled: "You are wearing a time turner?" Did you use a time converter? ”

Well? Did she see it?

Touching the timer hidden in his clothes, and touching the gold chain around his neck, Rosie stopped and asked suspiciously:

"How do you know it's a time converter? Can you recognize it just by looking at the chain? ”

"Of course, I'm a well-read Ravenclaw!"

Forgetting the sadness just now, Myrtle raised her chin proudly.

But after being stared at by Rosie for a few seconds, she couldn't help lowering her voice and explaining:

"When the school year started, there was a conflict between the class schedules of my elective classes, and the dean gave me a time converter.

Later, I felt that it was too tiring and asked to cancel the Muggle Studies course and return it. ”

Seeing Rosie's expression suddenly nodding, Myrtle asked again: "By the way, what happened?" Why should you use a time converter? ”

"Alas!"

Sighing, Rosie, who pulled her forward slowly, briefly told her what had happened.

……

"What ?!!"

After listening to her story, Myrtle asked in disbelief and in a shrill voice, "How could this happen?" That's a coincidence, isn't it? There are so many professors, haven't they reacted to any of them? Don't try to lie to me! ”

"I also find it weird, but that's the way it is, they were petrified or killed by Grice's gaze in the first place." Rosie spread her hands helplessly.

Seeing her mention an unfamiliar name again, Myrtle couldn't help but raise her eyes in surprise: "Grice? ”

"Oh, Grice is the basilisk that Salazar Slytherin kept in the Chamber of Secrets, and she's actually very kind!"

"Basilisk? Kindness? Didn't you say she killed a lot of people? And say she's kind? Myrtle asked rhetorically in disbelief.

"That must not have been her intention, Tom must have caused her to lose her mind with chicken blood."

Quietly approaching the gate against the castle's outer walls, Rosie whispered to her as she explained to her that the basilisk would go berserk due to chicken blood, while secretly listening to the movement inside.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The password for the principal's office is: Lake. ”

"Okay, I got it!"

Hearing this conversation, Myrtle looked at Rosie suspiciously: "Isn't this the principal's voice?" Didn't you say he died? ”

"That's when I summoned the ghost of Dippert."

While speaking, Rosie, who was standing by the door, secretly looked inside, only to see a figure wearing a red dress hurriedly disappearing at the corner of the marble staircase, which was herself at this time period.

"Pamela, Melinda!"

Myrtle sprang out from behind Rossi and stepped over the threshold into the foyer, "Some say there's ...... in the auditorium."

She suddenly closed her mouth, her body shaking uncontrollably.

"Really? Is she telling the truth? ”

But she saw the body of the boy lying at the door of the auditorium.

Hi! I said so much, it turned out that she didn't believe it at all.

Rosie muttered in frustration, knowing that she would not go down to the first floor at this time, and she followed into the foyer.

"Myrtle? Are you alright?! ”

Greengrass first shouted in surprise, and then saw Rosie walking in behind Myrtle, glanced at the stairs in surprise, and then turned to look at her, "Rosie? Why are you here? Did you get a time turner? ”

Rosie pulled the time-turner out of his neck and said bitterly, "I got it, but I couldn't stop this tragedy." ”

Turning his head to look at Tom who had passed out, "I can't kill him, it's worn out before the spell takes effect." ”

"Time is worn out?" It's just that the student Greengrass obviously didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, "Can't even the time turnaround change this tragedy?" ”

Hearing this, the younger children immediately burst into tears again.

What's the use of crying, crying!

Annoyed by their cries, Rosie tried to stop drinking, but held back.

Little children, what a nuisance.

A soft tone of comfort: "Okay, don't worry! I'll figure it out! ”

"What else can you do?" Crying with his classmates, Greengrass asked, wiping tears from his eyes.

The sobbing Myrtle suppressed her sadness and stared at Rosie without blinking: "What are you going to do?" Do you want to use a time turner again? ”

At this time, the sound of "knock knock" in the auditorium disappeared.

Grice's rage lifted?!!

Hearing the change in the voice in the auditorium, Rosie, who had planned to find an excuse to temporarily appease these children, suddenly lit up:

"It's a time turner, but I'll have to ask someone first!"

With that, she stammered up the stairs and headed for the second floor.

"Wait for us, we're with you!" Greengrass's men followed the stairs, as if they wanted to go along.

With me? Won't I still be distracted to take care of you?

As his thoughts turned, Rosie pressed the handrail of the stairs and looked back and asked, "I'm going to look for the basilisk, will you go too?" ”

Hearing this, the students immediately retreated in fright.

That's right! Just stay here and wait for me to save the game.

Muttering silently, Rosie walked briskly upstairs.

Above the Great Hall of Hogwarts is the library on the second floor, which Rossi is no stranger to.

At this time, the door of the library was open, and the emerald green tail of Grice, in the form of a basilisk, was still slumped motionless by the door.

Just as he was about to walk into the library from the side, he heard a footstep behind him.

When I looked back, it was a myrtle with tears on her face.

"Why did you come along?" Rosie was surprised and asked, "Aren't you afraid?" ”

Looking at the huge snake tail, Myrtle winced and said:

"Didn't you say that she was kind? I'll follow you, and if you accidentally have an accident, I'll be able to pick up the ...... of time."

Seeing Rosie's speechless expression, she closed her mouth in a timely manner.

That's it, just follow it.

Sighing helplessly, Rosie walked briskly inside.

The library was also a mess, the floor was full of empty holes, the bookshelves that had been erected high had fallen to the ground, and the strange magic books with the ability to move were running all over the ground, and some were flying indiscriminately.

Grice's head got stuck under several pieces of the floor that had fallen one after the other, and she was motionless, probably unconscious.
