Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 88 Coincidence or...Fate

Looking at the shocked Harry, a trace of joy inevitably rose in Hermione's heart.

It still makes her a little proud to let the two of them know how powerful she is.

But afterward, Hermione silenced this joy in her heart.

Because, there was one more thing she didn't figure out.

That's where those passages inside Hogwarts are located.

Where are they hidden?

How to open it?
The two consecutive questions are the most critical ones.

If these two problems are not resolved, even if they know that the murderer behind the scenes attacked the students through the passage in Hogwarts, it will be useless.

How can there be any reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days?

Withdrawing his outstretched hand, the fingertips were still cold.

A slight chill ran from his fingertips all the way down his arm to the back of his head.

Even though she was transformed into a stone sculpture by black magic, Myrtle still has the coldness brought by ghosts.

His body trembled slightly, and Harry shook his hands.

"What shall we do next?"

"I have no idea!"

"You do not know?"

"I didn't know about the passages hidden in the walls of the Hogwarts campus."

The clues are connected, but the most critical place is stuck in the bathroom.

Now that Myrtle has also turned into a sculpture, it proves that Hermione's previous guess was not wrong.

The murderer behind the repeated attacks on Hogwarts cats and ghosts passed through the water circulation channel of the bathroom, or the channel hidden in the bathroom.

It is also easy to understand why it was Myrtle who was attacked.

Because she probably saw the face of the murderer behind the scenes, in order to avoid accidents, the murderer behind the scenes used powerful black magic to petrify her.

In fact, Hermione didn't expect that a relatively hidden place she looked for after thinking about it would turn out to be the most critical place for them to solve the secret room incident.

But it just so happened that they were missing the most crucial clue in the most critical place.

Where the hell is the hidden passage in the bathroom?
"Hermione!"

"what?"

"How about, let's look around here. Since Myrtle was killed here, then the passage you guessed is also here, right?"

"That's right, if I'm not wrong, the facts are probably in line with my guess. There is at least a hidden passage in the bathroom."

After getting Hermione's accurate answer, Harry lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head to look at other places in the bathroom.

"Then let's look for it, maybe the passage is hidden near here, and there is some switch that can be opened."

Hermione opened her mouth, she really wanted to say to Harry, can you stop being so naive, if it was really so easy to find, people would have discovered it long ago, how could it be delayed until now?
But looking at Harry's sincere eyes and tense face with his lips pursed, it was impossible to say that kind of words.

So, Hermione turned her head and murmured softly.

"What a fool you are, Harry!"

"Hermione, what did you say?"

Harry, who was not paying attention here, turned his head to look at Hermione, but he didn't hear Hermione's whisper just now.

"I mean, since you've already thought of it, don't go looking for it yet."

Obviously, Hermione didn't want her words to be heard by Harry, so she quickly changed the topic.

"Harry, let's look for each other separately."

After finishing speaking, Hermione didn't wait for Harry to reply her, and began to check some places that were less noticeable from the other side of the bathroom.

Harry stood where he was, looking at Hermione's back, hesitant to speak, wanted to say something but didn't speak.

He closed his mouth, turned around and walked to the other side.

The bathroom is said to be big, but it is not very big.

But if you want to say that it is small, it is not as small as others imagined.

I really want to find the mysterious passage hidden in it from a little bit of subtlety. It can be said that the chance of finding a stone in a haystack is a little bit higher than finding a needle.

But Hermione and Harry didn't seem to know about it, they were still checking one place after another.

There was always a distance between the two, neither too close nor too far away.

After all, it was Hermione who was thinking about something in her heart.

Harry could feel the strange atmosphere between the two of them, but Harry, who had always been like an elm, didn't know why Hermione suddenly became like this .

Confused, he could only focus his extra attention on the toilet in front of him.

Step by step through those toilets that are closed or open.

If it was closed, Harry would open the door and walk in to have a look.

Although Hermione was a little far away from Harry, she seemed to be carefully searching for clues in the bathroom, but her attention was always on Harry.

She really wanted to tell Harry that you were wrong to search like that, and you wouldn't find anything at all.

Judging from where Myrtle's terrified eyes had been before, it was obvious that Harry had searched in the wrong place.

Myrtle's terrified eyes are facing the mirror of her place, but the place she sees when standing in front of the mirror is different.

When she had stood by Myrtle just now, she had turned and looked in the mirror, judging by what she saw in it.

Then the last place Myrtle saw should be the sink in the middle of the bathroom.

Since she was petrified when she saw this position, it should be that the murderer behind the scenes just appeared from around here, and then found Myrtle who was looking at him, and then used black magic on her.

The only thing that puzzled Hermione was why didn't Myrtle run away since she found "him"?

Seeing Myrtle turning into a sculpture, it was obvious that she had just reacted, and the moment she showed her panic, she was hit by a powerful black magic.

Is it too late to run, or...

There was too little information, and Hermione couldn't deduce anything useful based on this information.

It's all insignificant things!

Walking to the sink, Hermione glanced at the window on the right.

The window was open, and the moonlight outside just fell from this position, shining on her body, covering her with a layer of silver gauze.

She looked at the moon for several seconds before turning her head back to look at the sink in front of her.

Could that hidden passage crossing be here?

Step by step deduction, coupled with a little luck, made her stand here.

Standing at the most critical place, she is only short of a key, and she will be able to get all the answers.

So... is she going to tell Harry?
