But at that time, there were so many people coming and going in the castle that it was hard to determine who had been to the eighth floor. And today was Sunday, so all the little wizards had no classes.
Flitwick suddenly said: "Albus, that dark magic... is not something that a little wizard can use."
Not even Andy!
Because Andy doesn't have such profound attainments in black magic.
"Absorbing vitality..."
Flitwick continued to analyze: "If it's not special black magic, then it means that the other party needs vitality."
"Are you saying that the other party will attack again?" Professor McGonagall said impatiently.
Flitwick nodded, "Yes, I think so."
Dumbledore said slowly, "Minerva, let Filius continue."
Flitwick smiled bitterly. "To be honest, I don't know who the murderer is. But from the perspective of the spell, the other party needs vitality... It's definitely not for healing."
"Maybe... I mean maybe, maybe someone brought a dark magic item into Hogwarts."
Dumbledore and Snape looked at each other.
Horcrux!!
This may exist.
Dumbledore's eyes lit up, and he remembered the second time Voldemort came to apply for a job.
Excessive use of dark magic to transform the handsome young man has changed beyond all recognition. It was also at that time that he publicly used the title of "Voldemort".
Dumbledore thought to himself, "Could it be that he hid a Horcrux in Hogwarts back then?"
Back then... Voldemort had time to commit crimes!
And he has the motive.
Dumbledore understood Voldemort. He was a man full of ritual and nostalgic.
Hogwarts is obviously a special place for Voldemort.
And no one would have thought that Voldemort would dare to hide his Horcruxes in Hogwarts.
The only question now is...
Who found the Horcrux?
Or in other words, where did Voldemort hide the Horcruxes?
"Looks like we'll have to search the entire castle tonight."
Dumbledore said in a deep voice: "I will ask the ghosts to come and help."
"Minerva, Filius, go and inform the other professors. Severus, you and I will be responsible for searching the eighth floor together!"
Chapter 248 Of course, the blame can also be thrown to Mr. Si
"It must be Snape!"
In the Gryffindor boys' dormitory, Harry and Ron gathered together, apparently also discussing the attack tonight.
Harry analyzed confidently, "Ron, do you remember? Snape was injured some time ago. He had a fight with someone outside the school, and he might have agreed to some conditions from the other party."
Ron said in confusion: "You mean, Snape reached an agreement with outsiders? But... why did he attack Justin?"
Justin is just an ordinary little wizard in Hufflepuff.
How could Snape attack a little wizard?
He has no reason to do that!
Harry continued to analyze: "Maybe Justin discovered Snape's secret, or maybe Snape wanted to divert everyone's attention."
"Snape must be plotting something!"
Ron frowned and said, "But there is no Philosopher's Stone in Hogwarts anymore. What is Snape's purpose in doing this?"
Harry: "..."
Harry really didn't have any evidence.
"Then how do you explain Snape's injury?"
Harry said firmly: "It is precisely because we have no evidence that we should continue to investigate Snape."
Ron didn't object.
In Gryffindor, targeting Slytherin and Snape is a kind of political correctness.
Even if Snape didn't do it, he should be blamed and it would be best if he got kicked out of Hogwarts.
"Speaking of which..."
Ron suddenly said in an unhappy tone, "Including Professor Quirrell, Lockhart, and Professor Twain, we have had three consecutive Defense Against the Dark Arts professors."
"Why can't anyone kick Snape out of Hogwarts?"
Harry nodded in agreement.
It would be perfect if Hogwarts didn't have Snape.
……
Ravenclaw Library.
Andy and Hermione sat in the corner, holding books in their hands, but they were not in the mood to read.
"Andy, who do you think could have done this?" Hermione asked with a frown.
"How would I know?"
Andy was speechless. "All I know now is that the person who was attacked was Justin Finch-Fletch. Justin and Filch were the only ones not in the auditorium during the dinner."
"Other than that, I don't have any information."
"Although Justin was attacked on the eighth floor, I didn't notice anything unusual when I came down. And Dumbledore was right behind me, and he obviously didn't notice anything either."
It is said that Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world.
But now?
This has been two years in a row, and every year a little wizard has been attacked.
"Hogwarts isn't as safe as my home," Andy complained.
Also, we must not let that little girl Isabel come to Hogwarts to study!
Not only is it unsafe here, the professors are not very good either. And by the time Isabel goes to school, Voldemort will probably be resurrected.
The Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France is great!
Most importantly, Beauxbatons School of Magic has alchemy classes, and the legendary alchemist Nicolas Flamel graduated from this school.
If this could be connected to Nicolas Flamel...
Andy's saliva was almost flowing out.
Isa, my brother's future depends on you!
"I wonder why the murderer attacked Justin?"
Hermione analyzed seriously: "Justin is a young wizard in the same class as us. He is usually not very noticeable and has never offended anyone."
"Unless he discovered something that forced the murderer to attack him!"
Andy nodded, this possibility exists.
"What's on the eighth floor?"
Andy teased, "Room of Requirement?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Hermione rolled her eyes at Andy.
The eighth floor of Hogwarts contains Flitwick's office, the Fat Lady's Corridor, the Divination classroom, Trelawney's office, the Gryffindor common room, the Headmaster's office, and the Room of Requirement.
Of course, there are some unused classrooms and corridors on the eighth floor of the castle.
"So, Justin, a little Hufflepuff wizard, what was he doing on the eighth floor of the castle?" Andy asked.
Hermione raised an eyebrow and said, "That's why I said that Justin must have discovered something, which is why he was attacked."
"Hmm..." Andy hesitated for a moment.
Did Justin follow someone else to the eighth floor?
After thinking about it, Andy sighed.
There are too few clues to make any valid inferences.
Moreover, no relevant clues have been found so far regarding Snape's injury.
Are these two things related?
Newcomer Joseph Leidy is also very suspicious.
Andy was pondering over the clues when he saw Hermione suddenly look up at him.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Andy asked in surprise.
Hermione said with a strange look on her face, "Andy, could it be that Justin followed you to the eighth floor?"
"Why is he following me? I'm not a great beauty." Andy was speechless.
Hermione explained, "But you have improved the Patronus Charm! The Daily Prophet has been full of news about you recently. In fact, I have seen several times that little wizards want to find the place where you practice magic."
Ever since Andy found the Room of Requirement, the only time the dueling group meets is when they go to the abandoned classroom on the sixth floor of the castle.
Follow me…?
Andy looked odd.
Andy was always very cautious when he went to the Room of Requirement. Every time before opening the door of the Room of Requirement, he would repeatedly check whether there was anyone around.
"If someone really follows me..."
Andy thought: "He will only find that I disappeared on the eighth floor of the castle for no reason."
But this does not justify the attack on Justin.
The Room of Requirement isn't some big secret.
Even if someone really discovered the Room of Requirement, Andy would not attack that person.
"Tsk!"
Andy has a toothache.
After Hermione said this, an idea suddenly popped up in Andy's mind. Maybe there really was some secret hidden on the eighth floor of the castle.
And this secret is why Justin was attacked.
"Hermione."
Andy suddenly said, "Except for the Room of Requirement, there should be no secrets on the eighth floor of the castle...right?"
Hermione nodded.
The little witch has also seen the Marauder's Map. Although that map is not comprehensive, it records many places in Hogwarts.
There are indeed no other secrets on the eighth floor.
Andy continued, "You said... Is it possible that someone found the Room of Requirement by coincidence when they were looking for me?"
"Of course it's possible!" Hermione nodded.
"So...what room will he open?" Andy asked.
What room?
Hermione tried to lead it inside.
Is this the room where Andy is hiding? A hidden classroom? A classroom for practicing magic? A place for hiding people? Andy's secret base?
There are so many possibilities!
"Andy, what did you think of that?" Hermione asked.
