Chapter 127 Results
"Sorry... distinguished... distinguished Mr. Wizard," Old Gus said reluctantly, but the tremor in his voice was unavoidable.
"Old Gus...Old Gus doesn't know who opened...S...Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, Old Gus..."
The house elf was timid, his body was shaking constantly, and he was hesitant to speak. This seemed to others to have no credibility at all.
"Tell the truth, Old Gus, otherwise..." Fan Lin looked at the house elf in front of him gloomily. His wand was emitting an unstable light. Of course, these were all intentional!
"Old...old Gus...really doesn't know anything, sir!"
"Really?" Fan Lin's eyes exuded a dangerous light, "Hermione, you will prepare a warming spell later, and then release it when my spell is over." Fan Lin lowered his voice and whispered in Hermione's ear. said.
"What are you going to do?" Hermione asked in confusion, "You don't really intend to freeze them, do you?"
"It's just your feet, Hermione!" Fan Lin said awkwardly, "Just like the usual fights with Harry and the others, verbal threats are of no use. We really need this information."
"Okay...Okay!" Hermione was a little embarrassed, and she also took out her wand, "It can only be a slapstick level, otherwise...anyway, if he still doesn't say anything, I will give it to him immediately. To break the curse, I would rather not ask anything!"
Seeing Hermione's firm eyes, Fan Lin also nodded. Just as he thought, after all, he was not from a noble family.
"Gais...listen, I'm giving you a chance..." Fan Lin raised his wand threateningly. The blue light continued to flow in front of his wand, and the surrounding temperature gradually dropped.
"No..." Old Gass trembled, "Old Gass didn't lie, Old Gass really didn't know anything!"
The elf held his head in his hands, "Old Gus only knew that there was a rumor in Hogwarts fifty years ago that the current gamekeeper was the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets, and then Hogwarts opened this person. Except, but Dumbledore believed him..."
"What did you say?" Harry said angrily, "No way, how could Hagrid be the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets! You are lying!"
"Old... Old Gus doesn't believe it either. After all, this gamekeeper is a person with giant blood. It is impossible for Slytherin to accept a person with this blood as his heir, but everyone says so... "
"Damn it, you crazy elf..." Harry said angrily.
"No...please, go around old Gus...Old Gus is just telling the truth."
"Okay, Harry!" Fan Lin dispersed his magic power, "Let them go, they are just crazy elves who don't understand things!"
Fan Lin put his hand in front of Harry and felt terrible. Although he was very reluctant to believe it, according to common sense, house elves would not lie to wizards, starting from Dobby's voluntary admission of intercepting Harry's letter and the matter of the Bludger.
Although this was all Dobby's fault, it also proved that they couldn't hide anything.
"Okay, Gass!" Fan Lin said seriously, "I can believe what you say, but you have to tell me what happened fifty years ago, and also, there are people who are always wandering around the castle recently. Who, we need to narrow it down!”
"Thank you, sir!" Old Gas bowed respectfully to Fan Lin.
"I can tell you about this, sir...it's not a secret after all sir!"
"Very good." Fan Lin looked at Geis seriously, and the other three people also focused their attention.
"Fifty years ago, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was opened for the first time. Of course, it was only once. People say it was now..."
"He's not!" Harry interrupted him rudely. Harry knew what the damn elf wanted to say!
"Okay Harry, let him finish." Fan Lin reluctantly tried to smooth things over, "Skip this sentence, Gus."
"Yes, sir!" Old Gus shrank his neck. Harry became a little dangerous to him, but he still stood there. He could not leave until the wizard said something.
"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was opened..." Old Gus took a breath of air, "I remember that Hogwarts fell into a great... panic that day... Hogwarts' The ground was full of water, and people followed the water traces to the women's bathroom, where a Ravenclaw girl was killed and her body turned into stone."
"Stone?" Hermione looked at Old Gus in confusion, "Wouldn't it just be petrified?"
"Old Gus didn't lie, Miss Wizard!" Gus said quickly, "The ghost of that girl is still in Hogwarts, and she stayed in the women's bathroom for a long time!"
"It's Myrtle." Fan Lin said with certainty, "Myrtle is the only young ghost in Hogwarts who likes to stay in the women's bathroom."
"Myrtle..." Hermione covered her mouth in disbelief. She thought Myrtle just liked wandering in the waterways, but she didn't expect that she would die there.
"That's right, Miss Wizard," Old? Gus looked at Hermione as if to please, "Old Gus remembered, that girl is indeed called Myrtle..."
"Also, what was the situation like at that time?"
"Let me think about it, sir..." Old Gus fell into deep thought. He was really too old, which caused his memory to be a little blurry.
"Old Gus remembers that there was a lot of water on the ground, and there were groups of spiders running out. As for the rest, Old Gus doesn't remember it clearly, sir." Old Gus shook his head vigorously, but it was useless.
"Oh, by the way..." Old Gus added, "There were no signs of fighting at the scene at that time. We just simply cleaned up the water marks, and there was no other work. In fact, Hogwarts was very easy to clean that day..."
Looking at the elf who started talking nonsense again, Fanlin couldn't help feeling a little irritated.
"Maybe we can ask Myrtle!" Harry tried to say, he wanted to leave this place quickly.
"Okay..." Fanlin nodded, "Then, Gus, what is the answer to the second question?"
"Old Gus doesn't know people's names... In addition to the four of you, there are Professor Snape, Administrator Filch, and two boys and a girl who look similar to this red-haired wizard who wander around the castle every day..."
"It's Fred and George. The two of them often take Ginny to drill various secret passages!" Ron added.
"Are there any others?" Fan Lin asked.
"There is also a girl with golden hair. I'm sorry, she doesn't come out often. Old Gus hasn't seen her face, but the aura on her is very dangerous. This is not something a house elf can come into contact with."
...
"Girl with golden hair?" Fan Lin kept repeating this sentence since he came out. Obviously, there was no Malfoy among these people.
This matter, as well as the bad feeling coming from the darkness behind the house elf when he was leaving, have always been lingering in Fan Lin's heart.
"I say, maybe we should hurry up. After all, it's late. Whether it's Malfoy or not, we will know after our medicine is prepared." Hermione said. The words of the house elf made several people absent-minded.
No one spoke, but just hurried back. This information needs to be digested well. (To be continued)
