Latest website: Just one night after Jasyan Finley was attacked and the secret room was opened, all the little wizards in Hogwarts knew about it.

The students who saw this scene that night were from all four colleges, and such a thing could not be concealed at all.

Fortunately, Finley did not die, but was petrified.

At breakfast the next day, Professor McGonagall announced to the whole school that the magical potion for Fenrieli, Madame Pomfrey and Professor Snape, would find a way to configure it. Now they are waiting for one of the main potions to mature. So he will not be in any danger.

As for the perpetrator who attacked him, he is still being investigated. At the same time, Professor McGonagall said that the recent Hogwarts will enter a state of martial law, and the curfew will be extraordinarily severe, and any violation of school rules will increase penalties.

She reminded those little wizards who usually travel at night like drinking water and eating, not to make fun of their lives during this period.

And the legend about the secret room is even more diverse in the school. Most of the little wizards have never heard of the story about the Slytherin secret room. The borrowing records of Hogwarts; Three weeks later, everyone wanted to know what the monster that attacked Finley was.

Someone even asked Professor Bins about the secret room in class in the history of magic.

But Professor Bins firmly denied the existence of the secret room. He firmly believed that the secret room was just a legend. There is no evidence in history to prove that Slytherin once built a secret room in this castle.

Moreover, Hogwarts Castle has undergone more than one large-scale renovation after thousands of years, but no one has ever found the shadow of the secret room. So he persuaded the students to forget about the secret room. This was just a matter of borrowing the secret room. It's just a purposeful attack.

But the little wizards obviously didn't listen to him.

The mystery of the secret room undoubtedly made the students very interested, and almost everyone in the entire castle was discussing this matter these days.

What is the monster in the secret room?

Slytherin's heir, who is the one who opened the secret room?

Because Finley did not die, and this was only the cause of the first attack, the students did not feel much panic. The sudden turn of a legendary thing into reality made them extremely excited.

Guessing who the murderer is is more like a puzzle-solving challenge. All the little wizards are guessing who the one who opened the secret room is based on limited information.

But Lynn and Dumbledore did not get any useful clues from the portrait.

But they at least knew the purpose of the murderer now.

Not to fulfill Slytherin's last wish, he controls the basilisk just to satisfy his own needs.

Then the safety of these little wizards in Hogwarts can be less worried for the time being. From this time he did not order the basilisk to kill Fenley, it can be seen that the other party did not intend to kill.

Dumbledore and Lynn did not discuss any useful plans afterwards.

But since this time the murderer did not complete his purpose to find what he wanted, then he will definitely come again next time. Without other clues, they can only stand by and wait for the murderer behind the scenes to show his feet bit by bit. .

And just two days after the attack, there was no idea when a rumor spread from Hogwarts.

To be precise, it cannot be regarded as a rumor, it should be said to be a fact.

On the night Finley was attacked, four little wizards and a professor did not attend the Halloween dinner and appeared in the public eye.

The four little wizards had sufficient alibi. Only Professor Lockhart, who was the first to arrive at the scene at the time, could not prove when he appeared on the scene, and there was no way to explain the encounter in Finley. Where was I when I attacked.

Because of these rumors, some students thought that Lockhart was the descendant of the secret room, and he was also the one who opened the secret room and let the basilisk attack.

But these people are mainly concentrated in the lower grades of Slytherin and Gryffindor. Most of the little wizards, especially the students who have experienced Professor Fox’s incident, are skeptical of such things. .

Even in the auditorium, a girl from Ravenclaw and a boy from Slytherin had a fierce quarrel. They were arguing whether Lynn was the real murderer. In the end, the movement was so loud that it developed into two large-scale scolding. war.

It was Professor McGonagall who was dispatched, and Dumbledore personally endorsed Lynn to suppress the matter.

"Professor Lockhart cannot be the murderer."

After the metamorphosis class ended, none of the three of Harry left the classroom immediately, but stayed in the classroom to discuss recent events.

Harry and Ron looked at her puzzledly when they heard Hermione's words.

"You vowed to say that the murderer was probably the one two days ago? Why do many people now think that he is the murderer, but you don't think he is?"

Hermione seriously analyzed with them.

"The first thing we need to know is that Professor Lockhart is an adult. He doesn't do certain things on impulse like us.

If Professor Lockhart is really the murderer, then he must have prepared his alibi beforehand to justify himself, instead of making everyone at Hogwarts know that he is suspected.

In the office that day, I knew he couldn't tell where he was when he had an accident in Finlay. Only we, Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Dumbledore knew about it.

It is impossible for Professor Lockhart to tell the matter by himself, and we have not mentioned it to anyone. Although there is a conflict between Professor Snape and Professor Lockhart, Professor Dumbledore clearly trusted him. Under the circumstances, Snape would definitely not talk nonsense about this, as for Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore, it was even more impossible.

So who came out of these news? "

Hermione understood what she was saying If Harry and Ron didn't understand anymore, they could find a piece of tofu and hit them to death.

"You mean, these news are actually spread by the murderer!"

They exclaimed, and then their faces showed excitement, as if they had discovered some important secret.

"So Professor Lockhart was actually planted and framed!"

Hermione raised her head and nodded: "If my reasoning is not wrong, then this is the fact."

Harry's face became hesitant again at this time.

"Does that guy Malfoy make such a careful plan? Are we going to prepare the compound decoction and find him?"

A faint light flashed in Hermione's eyes.

"Of course, Malfoy is suspicious anyway, we still have to test him."
