A Hogwarts dissertation guide

"The situation is urgent, Edward, you have to follow me." Dumbledore said quickly, "We must investigate who opened the Chamber of Secrets."

Edward nodded. He couldn't help but imagine that if it wasn't Colin, would it be Hermione who was brewing the potion in the women's bathroom?

This threat must be contained!

At least it can't threaten Hermione's safety.

Colin had been sent to the infirmary by Madam Pomfrey. The poor boy must have been playing with his camera at that time, because Madam Pomfrey had to use a lot of strength to get the camera out of his arms. .

Edward and Professor McGonagall followed Dumbledore into the medical room.

Madam Pomfrey led the way. She desperately opened the bed curtains, revealing Colin's poor little face.

Next door to Colin was Harry, still in the same position as when he was attacked.

Professor McGonagall gasped when she saw Colin's appearance. It was obvious that he had also left a deep impression on her - after all, not everyone wears a camera in class every day.

"What's going on?" Dumbledore asked.

"Another attack," Madam Pomfrey said. "I found him on the stairs and took him straight back to the infirmary."

"He looked like he wanted to visit Mr. Potter, and he had a bunch of grapes with him," Madam Pomfrey continued with a sigh, "but I'm afraid he never dreamed that he would be like Mr. Potter."

Dumbledore lowered his body and looked at Colin's condition carefully.

"What do you think?" he asked softly.

Edward picked up the camera placed on the bedside and looked at it carefully.

"Look at this."

"This?" Dumbledore took the camera doubtfully, his pupils suddenly dilated, "This -"

"You read that right," Edward said, opening the back cover of the camera with a little force. "I'm afraid this is a very powerful magic that will even burn the camera."

As the back cover of the camera was opened, a stream of hot air hissed out of the camera.

Professors McGonagall and Snape behind them clearly smelled the pungent smell of burning plastic.

"It's melted," Madam Pomfrey said in surprise, "It's all melted..."

"What does this mean?" Professor McGonagall asked. Her eyes moved back and forth between Dumbledore and Edward. They seemed to be hiding something from them.

"This means," Snape drawled, "that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened again."

Madam Pomfrey covered her mouth with her hand, and Professor McGonagall looked at the three of them blankly.

"You must know something, right?" Professor McGonagall said with a trembling voice, "You must know something that I don't know?"

Madam Pomfrey moved closer to Professor McGonagall, "We should know the truth."

Snape turned to look at Dumbledore, completely ignoring Edward's meaning.

Dumbledore shook his head heavily.

Snape closed his mouth.

"Two students in Gryffindor have been attacked. Mr. Principal, I think as the dean, I have the right to know what exactly is threatening the safety of students in my college." Professor McGonagall said loudly with a straight face.

"Minerva, what happened back then was full of suspicion, and I don't want you to involve the suspects back then in the current case." Dumbledore comforted, "Of course it's not a secret, but I don't think it is right now. One very good--"

The door to the infirmary was roughly pushed open, and Scrimgeour rushed into the infirmary like an angry lion.

"Dumbledore, what happened?" Scrimgeour roared, "Another student was killed?"

"He wasn't killed, he was just attacked and turned to stone." Dumbledore corrected.

Scrimgeour rushed to the hospital bed rudely, "What difference does it make, he is like this now anyway!"

"We can cure him," said Dumbledore.

"I think it best to leave this matter to the Ministry of Magic," Scrimgeour said angrily. "I now question your suitability for the post of Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"You have such power," Dumbledore said pleasantly. "It's just that this is still open to question, at least until we figure out who is behind this."

"What the hell?" Scrimgeour asked doubtfully, "Are you suspecting a student?"

"That's not a possibility," said Dumbledore, "but not just students." His eyes were fixed on Scrimgeour.

"Are you doubting me?"

"I trust the staff I have chosen," Dumbledore said pointedly.

Scrimgeour's expression changed several times, and then he secretly spat, "Dumbledore, you'd better resolve the matter of the Chamber of Secrets as soon as possible, otherwise I will tell the truth to the ministry."

"This is your right." Dumbledore still said calmly.

Scrimgeour soon left angrily, slamming the door with a loud noise.

"What do you think of Scrimgeour?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and asked Snape softly.

"As I said before, a standard Gryffindor."

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded heavily.

They chatted for a while in the infirmary, mainly about the specifics of how to eliminate possible threats in the school. Edward almost didn't listen to this part. He kept thinking about how to frame Scrimgeour so that he could die with an infamy. .

This is obviously an extremely difficult thing.Because as Snape said, Scrimgeour is a very decent man, and Edward can't even find any flaws in him.

If he hadn't been so upright, Fudge wouldn't have kicked him out of the Ministry of Magic.

Early the next morning, the sound of another attack spread throughout the castle, and all the students were discussing worriedly. Everyone was in danger, fearing that they would be the next one to be attacked.

Hermione and Ron were sitting at the Gryffindor table, completely in no mood to have breakfast.

Colin is their underclassman. Although Harry is very annoyed that Colin keeps pestering him, Hermione and Ron still have a good impression of him: he is a diligent and studious Gryffindor. If it were not for Harry It would be better if it brought so much trouble.

"If you ask me, this is definitely Slytherin's fault." Ron used a knife and fork to cut the beef on the plate into thin strips, but he didn't notice at all.

"I have this suspicion too," Hermione said, "otherwise why would those who were attacked be from Gryffindor House?"

"Legend has it that Slytherin left the Chamber of Secrets to purge those he thought were unworthy of learning magic," Ron muttered, "and what Slytherin is most famous for...obviously we all know what it is."

"Are you worried about me?"

"I'm just telling the truth." Ron turned away, "My parents are both wizards, and they won't do anything to me."
