Chapter 135
Chapter 135
The young wizards were driven away by the professors.
Professor McGonagall commanded the grade heads and told them to take the students of their respective houses away and to return to wherever they wished, and in fact, she had very mixed feelings.
Startled by Felix’s voice, she thought something urgent had happened and rushed here, even using the Animagus halfway.
More than one young wizard saw a cat nimbly crossing the flowers, a blurred shadow flickering, and they thought Mrs. Norris had recovered.
But even though it was different from what she had imagined, things were still considered ‘urgent’ and she had witnessed two ghosts that had existed at Hogwarts for a thousand years just dissipate.
This is a good thing, but she is still full of doubts, what happened?
Most of the professors and ghosts stayed behind, they looked at Felix on the field and seemed to have the intention of listening to a story.
Snape standing near the yard stone pillar, his expression puzzled, his thoughts at the moment is, this is the first time this year, can it be called ‘accidental’ event?
It seems that every single one of them can be related to Felix …
Professor Flitwick stood aside, his lips opening and closing, wanting to ask something. He is aware of Ms. Gray’s true identity, for decades he has always had great respect for her, and he is most anxious for the truth.
Dumbledore is touched for a greater extent, he kept looking at the location where the two ghosts disappeared, murmuring softly, silver beard twitching, but no one could tell what the 100-year-old man is thinking at the moment.
“Felix …” Dumbledore said softly: “It seems that something incredible must have happened to you.”
Felix’s expression looked a little ‘sullen’ as his eyes swept over several professors on the field, Snape, McGonagall, Belby, Flitwick, Sprout, madam hooch …
There were also the ghosts of Hogwarts – the almost headless Nick, Fat Friar, Professor Binns, and a few he couldn’t name.
Just about everyone who could come arrived.
He said in a flat tone, “It’s a long story indeed, but the privacy of two honourable ghosts is at stake, plus I myself have very mixed emotions right now and am not in the mood to tell much for now.”
“Headmaster Dumbledore, please forgive me for leaving for the moment, when the mood has calmed down, I will disclose the truth in order to maintain the honour of the two friends.”
Dumbledore’s eyes covertly skimmed over the others, he said from goodwill: “Of course, Felix. I suppose that of all the people present, there is no one who will suffer more grief than you.”
Felix and Dumbledore left one after another, and many professors looked at each other, and the ghosts on the sidelines were also in a similar mood, all scratching their hearts a little, but knowing that they could only wait, they discussed a few things and dispersed.
Ancient rune office.
Felix sat on the chair behind the desk, took out a stack of parchment, and scribbled down all the conversations with Ms. Ravenclaw, and when they slowly took shape in the thinking room, the manuscript in front of Felix silently turned into flying ash.
Only when he finished these, Felix leaned back in his chair, with the diary and the brand-new diadem in front of him, and fell into a pensive mood.
His mood is indeed somewhat low and complicated, but more so because he could not tell the story without loopholes while concealing some key information.
For example, the thousand-year memories of Lady Ravenclaw, such as the diadem, and Horcrux …
These, he did not want too many people to know.
Many hidden secrets, once leaked to a second person, will no longer be called hidden.
But the Horcrux, he did not want to hide it from Dumbledore, after all, he has a whole two pieces in his hands – he’s wondering how things have developed into this?
Voldemort’s trouble, it is better to leave it to the Headmaster to have a headache.
And the most crucial thing is that he seems to be able to fit the diary into the story reasonably well …
Including Ginny, including Draco Malfoy, including Dobby the house-elf, these clues that he obtained off and on, can also be forwarded to Dumbledore.
To put an end to the Chamber of Secrets incident, when Dobby’s troubles are solved, it will be possible to restore Hagrid’s reputation.
Speaking of which, why hasn’t Dobby contacted him? Was there an accident, or did the instincts of a house-elf take over?
In the office, there is no trace of sound.
Elsewhere, at Hogwarts, numerous young wizards were voicing their opinions about the shocking events that had taken place today.
And what Harry is most concerned about is what really happened to the two ghosts.
At the moment, the trio followed the large group back to the Gryffindor common room, led by the head of the grade. The young lions, who had been discussing in a whisper, burst out with great enthusiasm, nearly toppling the ceiling.
Hermione winked at Harry and Ron, and they chose a long couch with a divider and a red curtain, then sat down. On the other side of the divider were a few of the Gryffindor heads of grade.
They were likewise discussing what had just happened.
“It’s the ghost’s salvation!” Percy said with great certainty. “I’ve seen similar descriptions in books, and this is an extremely rare occurrence.”
A fifth-year Head Girl said suspiciously, “I seem to have heard about it at home, but isn’t that a fairy tale?”
“Haha, did you also hear the story “The Disappearance of Barney the Ghost”?” It’s a male wizard’s voice.
On this side of the partition, Hermione mouthed: ‘You’ve heard that story?’
Ron shook his head.
The discussion continued –
The head girl said: “I always thought it was fake, but I never thought it would really appear before my eyes one day.”
“What do you guys think, about what happened?”
“What exactly is the relationship between Lady Gray and Bloody Baron?”
“Maybe a couple?”
“Oh, no way, the word Ms. Gray said was ‘forgiveness’.”
“You heard that? It was so far away I couldn’t hear it, and Professor McGonagall wouldn’t let us get close!”
“I saw the way she mouthed when she spoke …”
“Then it’s a feud, and frankly, I think that’s more likely, like he murdered Ms. Gray …”
A new, excited female voice appeared, “Could it be that … Bloody Baron was a murderer who killed a lot of people and ended up on trial, but before he died he thought about fighting back … and became a ghost. ” She laid out a bunch of inner drama, and then dramatically concluded.
The trio changed their place, to a hidden corner.
“What do you think?” Harry asked.
“Other than the information about the ghost redeeming itself, it doesn’t hold much credibility,” Ron said. “Especially the girl with the somewhat shrill voice who kept trying to lean the truth towards love-hate relationships.”
“They ignored Professor Hap, the one who summoned the Bloody Baron.” Harry speculated, “Hermione, what do you think?”
“I also think it has something to do with Professor Hap, he seems a little sad and I know that he and Lady Grey are friends,” Hermione said what she knew.
The Gryffindor discussion wasn’t the most lively, of the four houses, Ravenclaw House had the biggest reaction.
Ms. Grey, although she always gave the impression of being lofty, she was not shy about giving pointers to the young wizards, especially to the students of her own house.
Her departure made the young eagles sad.
…
In the evening, Felix left the school and went to the old town of London.
He walked along a pitch-black road and into a cemetery, where the guards watching the gate ignored him.
Almost three or four minutes later, Felix stood in front of a tombstone.
