Chapter Seventy-Three: A Sense of Disobedience

The wand in Amosta's palm suddenly began to spin like a windmill, and it remained in this state without stopping.

"What does this mean, Professor Bryan!"

Hermione looked nervously at Amosta, squinting, expecting an explanation.

"That means," Amosta said calmly as he grasped his wand and stopped trying, staring at a small stretch of exposed water pipe.

"Salazar Slytherin cast a number of powerful spells on his chamber, including preventing location, which frustrated my attempt to find it directly through magic...

To be honest, this is quite a problem, Hogwarts Castle has been around for thousands of years, and no one knows how many sewer pipes in the castle have been remodeled, and even the original design drawings of the castle may have been lost now. ”

Amosta's words made Harry and Hermione visibly disappointed, and in any case, this was the closest they had ever gotten to the monster in the Chamber of Secrets.

In the darkness, Harry stared at the hose with a frown, for some reason, since he had been in the office, when Professor Bryan guessed that the sound he had been hearing was from a snake, he had been feeling a faint sense of disobedience, as if he had forgotten something important.

"So what now, Professor,"

Hermione didn't notice Harry's eerie silence as she asked worriedly,

"Do we need to tell Headmaster Dumbledore about this discovery?"

"Not yet, Miss Granger--"

Amosta refused the offer without hesitation, joking, he didn't necessarily have to be the first to discover the secret room, but at least he had to be in time for Dumbledore, otherwise, when Dumbledore got rid of the magical creatures in the secret room, what should he give him to deal with?

Amosta jumped down from half of the wall and waved it back to its original shape,

"The pipes inside the walls connect to the entire castle's sewage system, and unless there is no other way, I try not to go through the bubble head charm and look for it one pipe after another...

In the next few days, I plan to go around the library more often, first, to find out what kind of snake the snake in the secret room is, and second, to see if I can be lucky enough to find the architectural drawings of Hogwarts Castle when it was originally built. ”

"How can I help, Professor Bryan?" Hermione asked in a wistful tone.

"Of course, Miss Granger--"

Amosta led him to the first floor, and when he heard the inquiry, he smiled,

"I've heard other professors say that finding key information from a sea of words is your forte, Miss Granger, and you can be involved in both of the things I just said, but I try not to take up your usual study time...

If I can't find the answer by next Saturday, you can come to the library and help--"

Because of the Defence Against the Dark Arts practice class in the second half of Friday, Ron had been lying in his dorm bed for almost two full days, and at this point, he no longer dared to say that he was lucky not to deal with the eight-eyed spider with the third, fourth, and fifth grades.

"I'm starting to agree a little bit with Malfoy's assessment of Professor Brian, Harry--"

When Harry returned to the dormitory, Ron stared at the curtain of the four-poster bed and said weakly,

"A normal person would carry that kind of thing with them and show it to the little wizards... Dealing with that terrible creature of darkness should be an Auror! ”

After Harry told everything that happened tonight, Ron, who was just half-dead, immediately looked different, his eyes flashed with longing, and he hurriedly asked,

"Did Professor Bryan tell you more about how you can hide magic in your eyes?"

Sometimes, Ron's thick lines do make people feel helpless, and Harry said angrily,

"It certainly wasn't a simple magic, Ron, even a genius like Professor Bryan had spent quite some time trying to master this magic he had designed himself!"

Ron pursed his lips, and he glanced at Seamus, Neville, and Dean who were laughing together, and his tone was more serious,

"Whether or not that old Slytherin madman is hiding a snake in the Chamber of Secrets, Harry, I don't think Professor Bryan will dare to continue his activities as long as Professor Bryan is still in the school, and when Colin and Hufflepuff's Justin Finchleigh are back to normal, this matter should be over completely!"

"It's not that I disagree with Professor Bryan's reasoning, Ron"

Harry frowned and whispered,

"I just feel like I'm ignoring something... Besides, I think it's better for Professor Bryan to find the Chamber of Secrets before the Board of Trustees lets Professor Bryan leave Hogwarts, or who are we going to count on if that monster makes waves one day.... I figured something wasn't right there, Ron! ”

A flash of inspiration flashed through Harry's mind as he lay on the bed, his eyes widened and he jumped up from the bed, ignoring Ron's stunned gaze, and threw himself directly at his desk, picking up his bag and rummaging through it.

Just now, it occurred to Harry that he had actually seen the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets, in the memories that Tom Riddle had shown him!

It was a large, low, hairy body, with a few black legs tangled together, many shining eyes, and two pincers as sharp as knives... Either way, that thing doesn't look like a snake!

What went wrong, Harry stood on his eyebrows and looked solemn when he opened his notebook.

Professor Blaine's speculation sounded fine, and it perfectly explained why the horrible voice was heard by no one but himself... Through the tube, who would have thought that monster would move in such a stealthy way?

But Riddle's untold past is also an irrefutable fact, that is, after Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts, there were no more attacks at the school, and even Riddle himself was awarded a special contribution award by the school for this incident.

"Harry, I think you'd better get rid of this notebook... I always think this Tom Riddle is a bit of a wicked person now--"

Sitting on the bed, Ron frowned as Harry spread out his notebook on the table, and then picked up the quill non-stop.

"Don't be stupid, Ron, Riddle's memories tell us something very valuable, don't they?"

Harry said without looking back, almost as soon as the ink dripped onto the notebook, the handwriting appeared on the blank paper again.

"--Well, Harry Potter, I thought that after knowing the truth about the incident in the Chamber of Secrets, I had been forgotten by you somewhere on the bookshelf, and what awaited me was the dust of fifty years of darkness, anyway, I think Rubeus Hagrid is still in this school, have you told anyone the truth about my memory?"

Harry's face flushed, but he didn't have time to say hello to Riddledo, and instead went straight to the point about what he had discovered tonight.

"--Riddle, do you think you've made a mistake, or Professor Blaine's guess is more plausible in my opinion, but the monster you showed me in your memory... I didn't see it clearly, but it's clearly not a snake? ”

This time, the notebook didn't answer Harry's question right away, and it seemed that what Harry said had thrown it into confusion, until two minutes later, the notebook showed its question in a messy handwriting,

"Can you tell me more about Professor Brian?"
