Chapter 218 Secret Room

Peeves' speech made Harry and Ron, who were already suspicious, even more suspicious.

Snape and Filch pursued the victory, constantly forcing them with words, and constantly putting some details on the two of them, mainly Harry.

There was also Peeves talking nonsense on the side, constantly deepening the suspicion between the two.

One thing is that if Ron hadn't been with Harry all the time, he would have been convinced that Harry was the descendant of Slytherin who opened the Chamber of Secrets... After all, he knew that Harry was a Parseltongue.

Just when Harry and Ron couldn't argue, Fish's heavenly voice sounded in the room.

"Didn't you say that the Chamber of Secrets can only be opened by someone from Green Serpent Academy? Harry and Ron are both from Red Lion Academy."

ω

Fei Xu tilted his head and said with a puzzled look on his face.

Of course Snape knew that these two people were innocent, he just wanted to find an excuse to punish Harry and Ron.

He even knew that Dumbledore would definitely favor Harry, and the best he could do was scare them.

So although Fish's statement was not that rigorous, after he opened his mouth, Snape snorted coldly, stepped aside and stopped talking.

Without Snape's support, Filch could not cause any trouble, and Dumbledore calmed him down in a few moments.

As for Peeves, as soon as he spotted Fish, he slipped through the wall without saying a word.

What happened after that was simple, because there was not enough evidence to prove that this matter was related to Harry and the others, so Dumbledore waved his hand and told the two of them to leave quickly.

Harry and Ron, who were made uncomfortable by Filch's menacing gaze, naturally wanted what they wanted. They quickly escaped from Lockhart's office and ran towards the dormitory.

"Fish, have you noticed anything strange or special in school recently?"

After Harry and Ron left, Dumbledore turned around and asked Fish.

"Something special nya?"

Fish tilted his head, pretending to think for a while, then shook his ears, raised his little paw and said, "Fish was able to hit Peeves a few days ago, meow!"

(●ΦωΦ●)

Of course he knew that was not what Dumbledore wanted to know, but whether it was Harry's ability to "hiss" like a snake or Ginny taking him into the girls' bathroom, Fish agreed to keep them secret. Of course, it was impossible for him to tell anyone.

Feishu has a very strict mouth!

"Really? Then you are really awesome," Dumbledore did not show a trace of disappointment, but continued to praise with a smile: "However, it is better not to bully the ghosts."

"Fish didn't know that he could hit him at the time. Unfortunately, Peeves ran too fast just now. I originally wanted to apologize to him."

The little cat quickly defended himself.

Dumbledore reached out to touch Fish's head, but he slapped him away.

He was not worried and continued to praise with a smile: "Fei Xu is indeed a good boy."

The little kitten raised its chin proudly after being praised, as if it was a matter of course.

Seeing that Fish couldn't get anything out of his question, Dumbledore sent him away first. Next, he had to discuss matters about the Chamber of Secrets with Professors McGonagall and Snape.

After Fish left with his head held high, Dumbledore and others also said goodbye to Lockhart. He didn't want to wait until there was a bully talking to him while they were discussing things.

After Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Snape left Lockhart's office, they turned two turns and came to the spiral staircase leading to the principal's office.

As soon as he stepped onto the spiral staircase, Professor McGonagall asked anxiously: "Albus, is the secret room really opened? Is Fish in danger?"

When the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago, Professor McGonagall had not yet entered school, so she had only heard about it and did not understand the specific circumstances.

Snape, who arrived at Hogwarts many years later than her, knew nothing about it.

"I'm not sure yet," Dumbledore shook his head and said, "The last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a student died directly, instead of being petrified like Mrs. Norris, so it's possible that someone was borrowing... Doing evil in the name of the secret room.”

Although Dumbledore speculated that the last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened by Voldemort, he actually didn't know what was inside.

Because after the first deceased appeared, Voldemort framed Hagrid in order not to be sent back to the orphanage during the holidays, and then stopped releasing the monsters in the secret room, so the clues Dumbledore got were also very limited.

"Then Fei promised him..."

Professor McGonagall didn't care much about whether the secret room had been opened at this time. She was only worried that the little guy Fish would run into the murderer of Mrs. Norris when he wandered around at night.

"I will follow him later."

Dumbledore didn't want to directly restrict Fish's activities. He wanted Fish to wander around and see if he discovered anything.

However, the safety of the kittens is also very important, so Dumbledore plans to return to his old business, but...

"I have to stay up late again, so I may have to trouble you and Severus with some school matters."

Dumbledore took the opportunity to offload part of the work to Professor McGonagall and Snape.

And instead of being angry, the two of them accepted it happily.

After all, it's all for the cats.

…

The somewhat busy Halloween night finally passed, and Harry and Ron thought that the matter was over.

But when they walked out of the dormitory in a daze the next day, they found that they really thought too much.

Peeves and the students who wandered at night had already exaggerated what happened last night and spread it all over the school.

And the legend of the Chamber of Secrets also spread from Firch.

So when Harry and Ron appeared in front of everyone, others either ran over excitedly to ask questions - this was usually Gryffindor, or hid in fear - there was no doubt that they were all from Muggle families.

Although the rest of the people did not react much, they were also pointing and whispering at them from a distance, which made the two, especially Harry, very depressed.

Because according to Peeves and Filch, Harry was the culprit.

Although the Slytherin group was also gloating, they were the ones who believed Harry and Ron's innocence the most among all the colleges, because they didn't think that the Chamber of Secrets of their own college founder would be opened by a Gryffindor.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Firth. He just wanted to find the Chamber of Secrets monster and avenge Norris.

Unfortunately, Professor McGonagall didn't seem to think so...

"Firth, if there is nothing else, go back to the dormitory and rest early."

The next night, Professor McGonagall said this to Firth after telling him a new story.

Although she knew that Dumbledore was watching, Professor McGonagall was still worried about the safety of her kitten, so she nagged a few more words.

"The matter about the Chamber of Secrets has not been clarified yet, so it might be dangerous for you to run around outside."

"Fish is not afraid of any Chamber of Secrets monster meow!"

(●ΦДΦ●)

Fish raised his left hand, revealing his sharp nails, and said: "Fish wants to find him and beat him up to avenge Norris meow!"

"No!" Professor McGonagall shouted: "You are not allowed to find any monsters. Even if you meet one, run away as soon as possible, and then come to me, Dumbledore or other professors... except Lockhart."

"Why meow?!"∑(●ΦДΦ●)

"Because you may not be able to beat him. What if you are also petrified?"

Professor McGonagall's words were full of worry.

"Well...Okay, Fish knows meow."

The mischievous green eyes rolled around twice, and Fish did not continue to argue with Professor McGonagall, but agreed directly.

Of course, whether he would do it is another matter.

Professor McGonagall obviously knew this, but considering that Dumbledore was watching, she just tapped Firth's head and didn't say anything more.

After walking out of Professor McGonagall's office, Firth immediately walked towards Myrtle's bathroom.

He didn't suspect that Ouroboros was the murderer, but wanted to ask it, which was also hiding in the castle, if there were any clues.

However, when Firth was about to reach the door of the bathroom, he suddenly remembered that he had been followed by Professor McGonagall before, and her attitude towards him just now was obviously not right, and she let him go without nagging.

So...

Animal tracking, start!

According to the original book Order of the Phoenix, when Professor McGonagall answered Umbridge, she had taught at Hogwarts for 39 years in December, so it can be inferred that she became a teacher at Hogwarts in 1956.

Then according to the official website PM, Professor McGonagall became a professor at the school at the age of 21, that is, she was born in 1935 and enrolled in 1946.

And Voldemort opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago, that is, in 1942, so Professor McGonagall did not experience the first opening of the Chamber of Secrets.
