Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"This is the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, maybe Professor Lockhart will hear the voice and run over to help us." Hermione said expectantly.

"Then I'd rather it was Snape!"

"Please, go home, Harry Potter." Dobby's sharp voice sounded again, "This is a conspiracy, you can't stay at Hogwarts this year."

"Damn, who the hell planned this plot? And who set this crazy house-elf out?" Harry gasped.

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Ivan's head, and he shouted, "It's Malfoy, it was Lucius Malfoy who asked you to come, right?"

All the tables and chairs fell to the ground with a bang, and Ivan's words seemed to frighten Dobby.

"Don't mention the master's name, Dobby revealed the secret of the master's family, bad Dobby, bad Dobby!"

He picked up a chair and smacked himself hard, and then he disappeared from the eyes of the three people as if he had never been there.

Ivan, Harry, and Hermione looked at each other, and hurried out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom before Dobby came back.

Chapter 35 The Second Attack

The gloomy sky outside made the already gloomy castle look extraordinarily gloomy.

Ivan and the others quickly ran towards the Gryffindor Tower, feeling terrified about what had just happened.

"It's unbelievable that Dobby was sent by Malfoy, he wanted to kill us!" Harry's face paled.

"I don't think so, why did Malfoy kill us?!"

Ivan shook his head, saw Harry's unspoken expression, sighed and continued, "Well, even if he had such an idea, he wouldn't be so stupid as to send a crazy house elf to do it This kind of thing is so obvious.”

"Then why is Dobby..."

"I think he's telling the truth. He must have overheard something related to the opening of the Chamber of Secrets and came here to remind us. He wants to save you, Harry."

"Yeah, he didn't let us get on the train, broke my arm, and controlled more than 80 tables and chairs to attack us crazily." Harry sighed, "If he keeps rescuing me like this, I will definitely Killed by him."

"Don't blame him, house elves are very servile creatures. They cannot disobey their master's orders, let alone reveal their master's secrets. Dobby himself has suffered a lot of pressure and injury by doing so. "

"Slavery?!" Hermione snorted, "It's unbelievable that in this day and age, slavery still exists in our country!"

"I don't care about that," said Harry, "I just wish Dobby could tell me clearly who opened the Chamber of Secrets, or what monster was kept in it. I don't understand, it's sneaking around the school Go, why didn't anyone find out!"

"Maybe it can make itself invisible."

Hermione thought for a moment, "Maybe it can disguise itself and turn into a piece of armor or something, I've read about color-changing ghosts in books."

"But anyway, this matter has something to do with Malfoy." Ivan said quickly, "Lucius Malfoy is planning some kind of conspiracy, but..."

He couldn't continue speaking. The three of them had just turned a corner and turned to another corridor when they saw an extremely horrifying scene.

Ai Wen felt that his gastric juice had turned into water, and his blood instantly became cold.

A Ravenclaw girl was lying on the floor, cold and stiff, with a look of horror frozen on her face, her eyes staring dully at the ceiling.This is not over, there is a figure next to her, Ivan has never seen such a strange scene.

It was Weeping Myrtle, no longer milky and transparent, but black and smoky, lying flat, motionless, suspended six inches above the ground, with the exact same expression on her face as the girl on the ground. Horrified expression.

"This, this Ravenclaw girl, we met her before, who is she?"

Harry was short of breath, and he looked around the empty corridor in a daze, only to see a group of spiders scurrying away desperately.

"Penelocrivat, she's a Ravenclaw prefect," Hermione replied in a sad voice.

"Another attack, we should get someone to come and help."

Before they could make a move, a door next to it was slammed open, and the prankster Peeves rushed out.

"Ah, so it's you three little ones!"

Peeves giggled and skipped past them, "What are you doing, why are you sneaking around?"

Peeves flipped halfway through a somersault, and suddenly stopped moving.He looked down and saw Penelope and Moaning Myrtle.

He quickly stood up straight and took a deep breath. Before Ivan and the others had time to stop him, he screamed straight up, "Do it! Do it! Do it again! No matter whether it is a human or a ghost, it will not be spared." Ah! Run for your life!"

The entire castle became lively in an instant, and people flocked to it.

During those difficult minutes, the scene was extremely chaotic, Penello was in danger of being crushed, people kept standing in the body of the crying Myrtle, and Alvin, Harry and Hermione were squeezed against the wall .

At this time, the teachers shouted loudly to maintain order.

Professor McGonagall was running all the way, and she gave a loud bang with her wand, and everyone fell silent, and she ordered everyone to go back to the common room of her house.

Ivan heard Justin whispering nonsense about Harry being the heir before he left.

These words were obviously heard by Peeves floating above everyone's heads.He grinned suddenly, revealing a smirk.

As the teachers bent over Penelope and Moaning Myrtle, Peeves suddenly sang, "Oh, Potter, you bastard, look what you've done, you're killing the students, yourself I find it funny!"

"Stop messing around, Peeves!" Professor McGonagall yelled, and Peeves stuck his tongue out at Harry, backed away hastily.

Professor Flitwick and several students carried Penello to the school hospital.But no one knew what to do with Moaning Myrtle.

Finally, Professor McGonagall conjured a big fan out of thin air, handed it to Ron who had just arrived, and ordered him to fan the crying Myrtle up the stairs.Ron complied, and looked at Ivan and the others with worried eyes for a long time before leaving.

"Come with me, Mason, Potter, Granger." Professor McGonagall led them around a corner, and stopped in front of a huge ugly stone monster.

"Cold lemonade!" she said a password.

As soon as the words fell, the monster suddenly came to life and jumped aside, the wall behind it cracked in two.Behind the wall is a spiral staircase that is slowly moving upwards, like an escalator.

As soon as Ivan and the others followed Professor McGonagall up, they heard a bang behind them, and the wall closed again.They spun higher and higher, higher and higher, and finally, feeling a little dizzy, Ivan saw a shiny oak door ahead with a brass door knocker in the shape of a griffin.

Ivan knew where they were taken, it must be Dumbledore's office.

He looked around secretly, couldn't help but secretly marvel.Harry and Hermione beside them were worried, worried about their upcoming fate.

Everything was too coincidental, the first attack was the first to be discovered by the three of them, and it was the same this time.Now even if you tell others that they have nothing to do with the Chamber of Secrets, no one will believe it.

Dumbledore's office is very interesting, it is a large, beautiful circular room, filled with all kinds of funny little voices.On the table with slender legs, there are many strange and weird silverware, spinning, emitting small puffs of smoke.

The walls are covered with portraits of old principals and headmasters, all snoring softly in their frames.There was also a huge table with claw-shaped legs.On a shelf behind the desk lay the battered, crumpled Sorting Hat.

On a tall gilded perch behind the door stood a bird with ornate plumage of red and gold.It appears to be sick and in a very bad condition.

This should be the Phoenix Fox, Ivan looked at it curiously.

Before he could observe carefully, Dumbledore came out from the inner door of the office.

"Albus, Miss Clearwater and Moaning Myrtle..." Professor McGonagall said eagerly.

"I know, Minerva!" Dumbledore replied calmly, "The Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened again."

"But Albus, you must know who ... is?"

"The question is not who," continued Dumbledore, "the question is how..."

Ivan was startled, Dumbledore must have noticed something.

Then, seeing the look on Professor McGonagall's face, he knew that he, like Harry and Hermione beside him, must not have understood Dumbledore's words.

Next, the expected questioning didn't happen, Dumbledore didn't ask anything, and after talking to them about Phoenix Fawkes for a while, he let them go.

Ivan turned around, wondering if it was an illusion, he felt that Dumbledore's eyes had been staying on him.

Chapter 36 Compound Decoction

Not everyone is as wise as Dumbledore, and the news that Penelope and Moaning Myrtle were attacked spread throughout Hogwarts in an instant.

Suddenly, rumors were flying in the school, and everyone was suspicious.

Even the ghosts became frightened, not knowing what terrible force could harm a dead man.

During this time, it became popular in schools to exchange amulets, exorcisms, and other devices for self-protection.Ivan saw Neville Longbottom bought a big stinky onion, a pointed amethyst and a rotting newt tail.

He was told by the other Gryffindor boys that he wasn't actually in danger, that he was pure-blooded and therefore would not be attacked.

"They started with Filch," said Neville, his round face full of terror. "Everyone knows I'm pretty much a Squib."

Colin agreed with Neville's words, and he hesitated to buy the amethyst from the other party. It is said that this thing can protect himself from harm.

In addition, Percy's performance is also very abnormal.

His arm recovered fairly well, but when he saw the petrified Penello in the school hospital, he seemed terrified.He is no longer keen on maintaining order in the common room or expressing his opinions. He sits alone in front of the fire every night, not knowing what he is thinking.

Worse than Percy was Ginny, who had been very distraught lately.

She found Ai Wen with a pale face several times, and seemed to have something to say, but she didn't say anything in the end.

This is too suspicious. After Ivan repeatedly questioned, finally in a spell class, Ginny told him hesitantly that she was having nightmares every night, dreaming of Harry, Ivan or other members of the Weasley family Being killed by the monster in the secret room made her very worried.

Alvin comforted her for a while, he wasn't sure if Ginny became so restless because she noticed that she was controlled by Tom Riddle.

The news he got was that shortly after they left the school hospital, Ron, Ginny, and the Weasley twins left there, but the four of them did not act together, and no one knew whether the other had been to the third hospital during that time. Upstairs bathroom.

The situation is so bad that the first-year students are now always moving in groups of three or four, as if they are afraid that if they act alone, they will be attacked.No one wants to be with Ivan except Colin.No matter where he went, there were people pointing at him.

Harry and Hermione also enjoyed the same treatment. People kept away from the three of them, as if they had already decided that the murderer who opened the secret room was among them.

The most suspected one is still Harry. The little wizards with big brains even found out the reason. Peeves said everywhere that the crying gold digger offended Harry at the Nick Death Day party. It is said that she was with Harry. After Li finished speaking, he ran back to the bathroom crying.The Ravenclaw girls also confirmed that when Harry tried to break into the girls' bathroom on the third floor, he was accidentally seen by Penello, so he wanted to kill her.

Affected by such rumors, the sales volume of "Hogwarts Wizardry" reached the lowest level in history, and the latest issue only sold a pitiful three hundred copies.

No one wants to buy a newspaper run by a suspect until the truth comes out.What's more, the little wizards' energies were all focused on the Chamber of Secrets, and they were no longer as interested in Quidditch matches or Lockhart's bombastic novels as before.

The only benefit of the attack was that Ron was willing to talk to Ivan again.

It may be because Ivan's spell hit Percy, making him think that Ivan was on his side.Or maybe because the secret room was opened again, he finally realized the urgency of the matter, and now is not the time to be awkward.

For several nights, they huddled in a corner of the common room and talked in low voices.

Harry, Ron and Hermione all agreed that they had missed a key clue, and that Moaning Myrtle, the victim of the Chamber of Secrets opening 50 years ago, must know something.But now she is like a silent black hovercraft, quietly floating in the school hospital, unable to talk to others, and unable to tell the information she knows.

Ivan knew how to open the secret room, but he didn't say that he was not ready for battle, not to mention he didn't know where Tom Riddle was hiding.

"I think there is a problem with our thinking."

Ron pretended to be puzzled, "As far as we know, who would think that Muggle-borns are rubbish?"

"And if you mean Malfoy?"

"Of course it's him!" said Ron. "Just look at his ugly mouse face. That house-elf Dobby who attacked you belongs to them too."

"Yes, Dobby did mention the Chamber of Secrets and the conspiracy," said Hermione, "but we can't be sure that Malfoy is the heir of Slytherin."

"Come on, Hermione!" Harry went on, "look at that family, they're all in Slytherin, he's showing it off a lot. They're probably descended from Slytherin, his father is evil enough of."

"They probably held the key to the Chamber of Secrets for centuries!" said Ron. "From father to son."

"Yeah, it's also possible..." Hermione said cautiously, "Evan, what do you think?"

"Even if Malfoy is not the heir, he should know something."

Ivan thought for a while. In the current confusing situation, if he wants to find Tom Riddle's diary, besides continuing to pay attention to Ginny, it is also a good way to ask Draco Malfoy himself.

Lucius may not reveal his plan to him, but there must be some clues. For example, besides the Weasleys, they have contacted any Hogwarts student. As long as there is this clue, the scope of suspicion can be greatly expanded. zoom out.

"Ivan thinks the same as I do, but the question is how can we get Malfoy to tell us the truth." Harry said pessimistically.

"I have a way!" said Hermione slowly, glancing up briefly to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and lowering her voice, "Of course, it's not easy to do, and it's dangerous, very dangerous, We're going to break about fifty school rules."

"What the hell, if you want to tell us, don't hide it." Ron said impatiently.

"All we need to do is go into the Slytherin common room and ask Malfoy a few questions without letting him recognize us," said Hermione calmly.

"That's impossible." Harry and Ron almost laughed.

"No, it's possible!" Ivan narrowed his eyes, "As long as we have some compound decoction."

"What's that?" Ron and Harry asked in unison.

"It's compound potion!" Hermione said in surprise, "Ivan, how do you know?"

"I read in the book that this soup can turn you into another person."

"Yes, we can become four Slytherin students. No one will know us, and Malfoy may tell us everything." Hermione continued, "He's probably in Slytherin right now. bragging in the common room, but we can't hear it."

"I think this kind of compound compound is a bit dangling."

Ron said, frowning, "What if we become four Slytherins and never get back?"

"The effect of the medicine will disappear after a while." Hermione waved her hand impatiently, "Snape said that the formula of the medicine is recorded in a book called "Powerful Potion", and that book is in the library. Restricted section. But that's no problem, I'll try to get it, and maybe Professor Lockhart will be willing to sign it for us."

"That guy's willing to sign everything," Ron murmured.

"The problem now is the raw material, and I think we can get those things from Snape's personal collection."
