Hogwart’s Certain Professor Of Magic

second day, weekend morning.

Harry and Ron staggered out of the dormitory and saw Hermione sitting in a chair in the common room.

As soon as they sat next to her, they saw Hermione "pa" slap a newspaper on the table.

"I knew it!" Little witch said angrily.

Harry and Ron awake all of a sudden. They looked at each other and Harry asked, "What happened, Hermione?"

"Remember the book the professor showed us Regarding the headmaster book by Dippet, there was a copy of "Daily Prophet" on Professor Haip's desk at the time, and I felt something was wrong. This morning I found the newspapers from the last few days...that woman, Rita · Skeeter! How dare she slander Headmaster Dumbledore..." Hermione trembled with anger.

Harry quickly picked up the newspaper, Ron sat down beside him and poked his head over.

That was yesterday’s Daily Prophet. The most striking thing was the photo of Dumbledore looking up with his gray hair. From the perspective of the shooting effect, it looked aging and shameless, and the name of the front page headline It was "Dumbledore's big mistake."

Harry felt bad, and he quickly read it--

"This newspaper’s special correspondent Rita Skeeter reports, Hogwarts’ school headmaster, and the weird Albus Dumbledore has always It is a very controversial wizard."

"As recognized as the greatest contemporary wizard, Dumbledore has been hiding in the castle of Hogwarts since he defeated the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, and rarely appears In the public eye."

"Everyone is full of praise for this, thinking that he is guarding the hope of the British magic circle, continuously sending all kinds of magic talents to the magic circle, but the truth is true Is it true?"

"The author recently received letters from some parents of students saying that there had been appalling attacks in the school, and the perpetrator has not been found. Mrs. Ferrian of Top Hill wrote this : My child is trembling with fear at school every day for fear of life threats. The professors are helpless and do nothing! I have to let my child go home for Christmas."

"Author I found the parent who cared about the child with an agitated mood and interviewed her. The incident was far more serious than imagined—it was not the first time the attack occurred. The attack had already occurred more than a month ago. . It’s just that the victim was a cat, but the news was tightly sealed!"

"In order to reduce the impact and avoid being discovered and attacked by the outside world, this headmaster did not hesitate to fabricate a sensational lie. ——He pushed all this to Hogwarts’ millennium legend, Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets."

"The funny thing is that he did something similar fifty years ago when this The headmaster was also a professor of transfiguration. During this period, a poor Ravenclaw witch was unfortunately killed. Hogwarts caught the suspect for a while, but Dumbledore had a huge influence on the then headmaster, Armando Dupete. Under his mediation , This matter eventually fell apart. The suspect was only expelled from the school."

"Three days before the author wrote this article, two weeks have passed since the second student assault, but The outside world knows nothing about this, and the murderer is still at large. We have to worry about this. Is the omnipotent Dumbledore really old?"

"The author will follow up and report on this, and everyone A truth . In the next issue, we will start with the work of this headmaster and reveal a more realistic image of Dumbledore for everyone. "

This is the end of the text, but at the bottom of the page, there is a small line of text, which is a preview of the next report. It says:

Dumbledore has always dared Hiring controversial faculty members, such as Gilderoy Lockhart and Felix Haip this year, but are these two really suitable? Let us wait and see (informers are welcome to break the news, contact: Rita Skeeter, "Daily Prophet" gold medal editor, 12 The best-selling author and best-selling record holder).

"How can she say that Dumbledore! Harry said angrily. "And the Chamber of Secrets thing, what we saw with our own eyes, how could it be a lie!" "

"Rita Skeeter, this woman can't believe a word, she often fabricates rumors about celebrities. "Ron said very knowledgeable. "A few years ago, she and Lockhart had a big talk in the newspaper. Mother really hated her. "

"It seems that we already know what this woman is like. "Hermione said mockingly.

Ron picked up the newspaper. "Have you noticed that this woman actually wants to do a series of reports. The next issue is about Professor Lockhart and Professor Haip." How would she arrange them? "

Hermione helpless said: "Headmaster Dumbledore is portrayed by her as a conspirator, and it is estimated that the two professors are not immune. "

"I don't care about Lockhart, he is just a fake. You guys, will Professor Haip rush into the "Daily Prophet" building and give that woman a bat spirit curse? "

"Ron! That's illegal, how could a professor do this! "

The three of them discussed the matter, and the final result was relatively pessimistic.

Harry pointed to a sentence in the newspaper, "She said that she caught it fifty years ago. Suspect, who is she referring to? "

"Come on, Harry, do you still believe that woman's nonsense?" "

"Of course I don't believe it, but—"Harry's eyes were fixed on Hermione.

She paled quickly, "Fifty years ago, she was fired...that Is the suspect Hagrid? "

Ron licked his lips nervously.

Harry said quickly, "I believe Dumbledore, Hagrid will not be the murderer!" But since he is listed as a suspect, he must know something! "

The three of them were going to brave the wind and snow to the Forbidden Forest hut. They just walked out of the castle and ran into a burly silhouette head-on. It was Hagrid. His face was covered with wind and snow, and his thick beard was covered with ice. , With a dead chicken in his hand.

"Hagrid, oh—" Harry slammed into him directly.

"Watch out! little fellows. "Hagrid said gruffly, waving a soft chicken in his hand, and a few feathers flying in the air following his movements...

That evening.

Harry, Ron and Hermione have just returned from the abandoned underground classroom, and everything is going well in Polyjuice Potion.

Harry carries the magic scroll given by Professor Haip, and translates the language of Parseltongue word by word. It’s empty. In the abandoned classroom, from time to time, hoarse and gloomy horrible voices reverberated.

This made Ron, who was dozing off, never slept well. He could always see a witch in the midst of half-dreaming and half-waking. Like a potion of mud, a wizard made a snake-like "si si" sound.

In the earlier afternoon, they finally heard the Chamber of Secrets message from Hagrid.

At this moment, they are hiding in the corner of the common room.

"Almost all of them are right! "Hermione said suddenly.

"What? "

"Monster of Chamber of Secrets! Waiting for me—"Hermione obviously had perfect thinking. She hurried back to the bedroom, and soon took back a parchment.

The three of them got together and looked at the text on it. It was Regarding a horrible magical creature named "Basilisk".

When Harry and Ron finish reading the information, Hermione tells the clues collected these days one after another, "Basilisk can sleep for a long time, Basilisk’s eyes It is fatal. Basilisk is the natural enemy of spiders. Basilisk is afraid of chickens. What do you think of? "

"So, the monster of Chamber of Secrets is Basilisk? "Ron asked excitedly.

"Can't be wrong! "Harry hit the table with a punch.

The main news they got from Hagrid were two: One was that the chicken he raised was always the death of unfathomable mystery; the other was that he raised it fifty years ago. Acromantula, and Acromantula is very afraid of the monster in the Chamber of Secrets and refuses to disclose even a word.

All can be matched!

"But there is the biggest problem, which is Basilisk cannot be petrified. I initially ignored it because of this, but now, the side evidence is very sufficient. "Hermione said very rigorously, "Perhaps I should find time to ask Professor Haip if there is any way to reduce the damage to Basilisk's gaze..."

She hammered her head bitterly. "It's strange, I feel that something is right in front of my eyes, but I still can't find it..."

Harry swallowed sharply, "Hermione, I think I know." "
