Chapter 35 Assault
hall.
The atmosphere of the party was very warm. Dumbledore fulfilled his promise and invited a skeleton dance troupe. They played cheerful tunes with instruments made of bones while dancing funny dances. To be honest, this performance style is very memorable.
The little wizards had a satisfied excitement on their faces. They sat in the pumpkin lanterns and tasted festive specialties. In Felix's opinion, their taste did not change much, but they were novel enough in style to find a different way.
Felix inserted a black, tombstone-shaped caramel cake and put it into his mouth in one bite.
On the ceiling of the auditorium, there were colorful ribbons and monster masks. He even saw three big black dogs. In the wizarding world, the black dog is not very famous. But after careful observation, he found that it turned out to be a three-headed dog.
Felix: "..." I always feel that the three-headed dog was killed.
Before we knew it, it was ten o'clock and we headed for eleven o'clock. The little wizards also put down their tableware one after another, with satisfied smiles of wine and full of food and food on their faces.
Felix wiped his mouth with a napkin and began to discuss the spell with Professor Flivie. Professor Lohart, who was beside him, tried to interrupt, but was ignored by the two.
Two months after school starts, it is not difficult to see what Lockhart is if he has a little IQ.
Felix couldn't help but look at Dumbledore with reproach. It was a waste of my trust in you. Are you looking for such a parallel person to be a professor?
I thought he had real talent and knowledge.
Felix felt worthless for the time he had given.
Finally, the Skeleton Dance Group ended the performance with an alternative soothing tune, and everyone applauded in unison until they bowed and turned into a black smoke and left the stage.
At the end of the party, the little wizards crowded out of the auditorium. They left several professors to wield their wands and clean up the mess.
At this time, a little wizard returned in panic, his lips trembling.
"Professor, I think you need to come and see... something happened!"
Needless to say, the professors also heard the screams of the little wizards outside the auditorium. Dumbledore walked over a few steps, and the crowd automatically separated a space.
Felix and Professor Flivi looked at each other and quickly followed.
They climbed the stairs and came to the third floor. Following the sight of the little wizards, they turned around the corner and came to an empty aisle.
The first thing Felix saw was Harry, Ron and Hermione. The three of them stood alone, with a piece clearly empty around them, but the next moment, his eyes fell on the cat hanging on the torch stand.
It's Mrs. Loris.
It looks very stiff and seems to be dead.
Next to it, on the wall one foot high above the ground, some writing was painted, and the emblem light shone under the reflection of the burning torches.
The secret room was opened.
Be alert if you are enemies of the heirs.
Filch was shouting something, Dumbledore quickly crossed the crowd and took off Mrs. Loris. His expression became serious, and his blue eyes looked carefully through the half-moon lenses.
"Come with me, Felch." He said to Felch, "and you, Mr. Porter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger."
Lockhart quickly recommended his office, followed by Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Snape, and Felix followed, and Professor Flitvie was left to comfort the panicked wizard.
Lockhart Office.
Several professors were gathering around a smooth table, looking at the stiff Mrs. Loris.
Dumbledore's long hooked nose almost touched the hair of Mrs. Loris. He looked at it carefully through his half-moon glasses, poking it gently with his slender fingers.
Professor McGonagall bent over and almost touched the cat on his face. He squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully.
Snape stood behind them, half of his body hidden in the shadow.
Felix stood on the other side, his fingers brushing over Mrs. Loris's back, and its hair became unusually hard, and then he gently touched its body with his wand, feeling a powerful curse breath.
Not dead... it seems to be petrified...
And almost at the same time, Principal Dumbledore stood up and whispered: "It's not dead, Felch, it's petrified."
But the principal's words did not allow Felch to relieve his resentment. He instantly targeted Harry and even revealed his squint identity.
But his suspicion was quickly rejected because "this requires the highest depth of black magic."
The trio obviously couldn't do this.
What's more, there are the weird handwriting on the wall.
Secret room...
Felix fell into thinking, a familiar name.
Next was Snape's home court. He interrogated Harry and the other two in a sarcastic tone. Harry stammered and explained, making Felix sigh.
Children are not proficient in lying and their psychological quality is not up to standard.
However, Felix immediately fell into thinking, what were they hiding?
After attending the death party in the basement, I should have returned to the auditorium, but they didn't...
Perhaps, you can find an opportunity to ask your assistant.
After the trio left, several professors exchanged information.
"Potter didn't tell the truth completely, Principal, that's my opinion." Snape repeated his own point of view.
They could see this without the professor refuting this.
But Professor McGonagall habitually maintained his students, "We have no evidence to prove that they did something wrong, and in fact, they may just hear some abnormal noise."
"This possibility is not ruled out," Dumbledore said no, "whether your opinion, Felix."
The eyes of the few people present fell on Felix, and even the photos of Lockhart on the wall poked their heads out of the shadows.
"My opinion... I'm still thinking about the words on the wall. The secret room was opened. Whose secret room? Who was opened? Who was against this so-called heir?" He raised three questions in a row.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and said dryly: "It sounds like it is the legend of the Slytherin Chamber again, but there is never any evidence to prove it..."
Except for the two newcomers, Felix and Lockhart, the other three are old teachers. Similar campus legends spread among the group of little wizards every few years, and they continue to be promoted, and the content becomes more sensational and curious.
"But as far as I know, the names that can be associated with the word "secret room" are best known for Ravenclaw and Slytherin. And referring to this attack, the directionality is already very obvious."
Several others could understand Felix's meaning, the Secret Room, and it was related to Slytherin.
Ravenclaw couldn't do such a thing.
"The speculation is reasonable, but unfortunately there is no evidence." Snape stabbed him.
