007 The enemies of the descendants, beware

After the Halloween incident, the word "secret room" began to be discussed in the mouths of every student in Hogwarts, since Glenfindo's second-year Hermione. Granger successfully asked some information in the magic history class. As a ghost Professor Bince, he ushered in the period when students were most attentive in class and asked the most frequently. Every student hoped to ask something special.

"Enough, don't ask about the secret room anymore," said Professor Bins. "This is just a stupid myth. If you ask about things that have nothing to do with the classroom, I will lose points."

So, when Professor Binnes satisfied the students' curiosity, the history of magic returned to the slow rhythm of sleepiness in the past. In addition, the week was very peaceful, and Lawrence had always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Ginny, but these days, whether outside the first-grade classroom or waiting in the saloon, he never met. On Saturday morning, Lawrence asked Percy to ask about the situation.

"Ginny has been very sad recently. I found her crying in the women's bathroom the day before yesterday," Percy told Lawrence. "It's the bathroom with myrtle crying. He was worried that Ron would be expelled from the school, and that petrified cat."

"I need to talk to her, do you know where she is?" Lawrence asked with a frown.

"I don't know, but I just met her," Percy replied, "She said she wanted to be alone."

"Okay, thank you." Lawrence thanked and rushed to the girls' toilet on the second floor. He guessed that maybe Ginny might be there.

But Lawrence did not find anyone, and the golden lady in the toilet was nowhere to be seen. Lawrence looked at the accumulated water on the toilet floor, looking around but couldn't find the source of the leak.

"Mr. Rovande." A serious voice came from behind, Professor McGonagall,

"Uh... Hello, Professor." Lawrence said,

"What are you doing here?" Professor McGonagall asked, pointing at the toilet door, "Don't enter in danger." "Don't you see this sign?"

"Nothing, Professor." Lawrence replied. He realized that the toilet was very close to the place where Mrs. Loris was petrified. Professor McGonagall's office was also on the second floor, and of course he would patrol the surroundings.

"I think you are looking for clues about the murderer, right?" Professor McGonagall said, "Don't bother, this is not what students should do."

"Uh, yes professor." Lawrence replied. He could not tell Professor McGonagall that he came to this remote girl's toilet to find Ginny.

"If I were you, I would go to the lobby to have something now," Professor McGonagall said in a relaxed tone. "Wait for Glenfindo vs. Slytherin's Quidditch match, you won't forget?"

"Oh, good professor." Lawrence replied, turning away, but not eating in the hall or going to the stadium, but walking towards the Glenfindo saloon. On the way, he met many students who were heading in the opposite direction, and they were all ready to go to the stadium to watch the game,

When he walked into the Glenfindo saloon, he happened to meet the freshman Colin, who held an old camera and left in a hurry because of anger.

Lawrence saw a camera that was burned and deformed on the small round table in the saloon, Ginny. Weasley sat on an armchair with his face covered and sobbed.

"What's wrong?" Lawrence asked, "Colin seemed very angry?"

"I and Ke Lin lent to see it," Ginny cried, "but I accidentally broke it, and Colin had to get the old camera..." (Note 1)

"Uh, how did you make it like this?" Lawrence asked curiously.

"I came back to my senses, the camera was in the stove," Ginny cried.

"Uh... Ginny, I've always wanted to ask you," Lawrence asked. "Did you... take our map on Halloween?"

"...What map?" Ginny looked up blankly, staring at Lawrence with swollen eyes.

"On Halloween morning, we were in the saloon. You know the map is in my suitcase..." Lawrence reminded, but he felt that Ginny's blank expression was not like a fake,

"Halloween? I didn't get up that morning... I slept until noon, but my roommate asked me to get up..." Ginny replied blankly,

"What?" Lawrence asked in surprise, "I saw you crying in the saloon early that morning."

"Impossible...I remember the night before, I was in the dormitory...I wrote my diary until I fell asleep..." Ginny replied, wiping her tears, "Do you want to go to the Quidditch game together? I want to apologize to Colin again..."

"Okay, let's go." Lawrence did not continue to ask. He did not think his memory was wrong, but he did not think Ginny was lying. This contradictory sense of inconsistency puzzled him.

They left the Glenfindo Tower and walked towards the first floor. Thunder was heard outside the window, dark clouds blocked the sun, and it started to rain heavily. Cold wind and rain poured in from the window. The lack of sunlight made the corridor look a little dark. After passing the second floor, Lawrence, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

"Ginny, stop and don't go over." Lawrence said calmly, and on the floor ahead, there was a figure lying on the floor - it was Collin. Ginny screamed and then fell to the ground. Lawrence took out his wand and walked towards Collin carefully.

"Has I been attacked?" Lawrence poked Colin with a magic weapon. Colin held the old camera with a terrified expression. Lawrence lifted the magic weapon. He thought about meeting twins on the Hogwarts Express on the day of school. They lived a wonderful and exciting prank after school. They avoided Felch's pursuit again and again...

"Call for the guard!"

A magnificent four-legged creature flew out from the tip of the Lawrence wand and flew towards the principal's room. Lawrence put away the magic weapon and stood there. He turned silently to look at Ginny who began to sob again, (Note 2)

A fire, Phoenix Fox and Dunbulito appeared beside Lawrence,

"Luckily Fox is here, Professor," Lawrence said, "but you are here so quickly."

"I just didn't go to the game, and Fox was willing to take me with me," Dumblido said, squatting beside Colin's "petitive" and asked, "Is it "petitive" again?"

Lawrence nodded, he frowned and looked at Ginny. He felt a strange malice emanating from Ginny. Ginny just raised her head and looked at Colin with a terrified look. Dunbulido waved his wand to make Colin float up.

"Come with me, Mr. Rovander and Miss Weasley." Dumbledore said, and he said to Phoenix again, "I need you to inform Minawa, Fox."

Another firelight, the phoenix disappeared without a trace, and Dumblido directed Colin, who was floating in the air, and walked to the hospital room together.

"What's wrong, Principal?" Mrs. Pomfrey asked in a low voice, they placed Colin on a hospital bed.

"Another attack," Dumbledore said, "The students found him, and I hope you can give Miss Weasley some calming potions."

"Okay, come with me, Miss Weasley." said Mrs. Pomfrey, and Ginny followed her obediently.

"Come with me, Lawrence." Dumbledore whispered, he took down the camera in Colin's hand, and then some screens jumped over to cover Colin's hospital bed, and they walked towards Professor McGonagall's office, which was closest to here,

"What's going on? Why are you there?" Dumbledore asked, so Lawrence told the story.

"I think Ginny has a problem," Lawrence said after hesitating for a moment, but he was still wondering whether to tell Dumbledore about the map of the live spots. "I feel that she... is very strange."

"I think so too, I find Miss Weasley's traces of dark magic on her body." Dumblido said softly, "But it's no surprise that many things carry a little bit of dark magic, even Hogwarts."

"But she was not present at the time of the incident." Lawrence replied. For the first time, he realized how much more Dumbledore said, "I saw much more than ordinary people." At least he could not see the black magic traces on Ginny's body.

"Yes, but I think the secret room is indeed open," Dumbledore said. "How is the problem done?"

"Professor, can't...?" Lawrence asked in embarrassment.

"No, Lawrence," Dunbulito replied seriously, Lawrence was silent, "I hope you can understand that everyone is innocent until the guilt is proven." (Note 3)

"I made a mistake..." Lawrence said, "I lost a...map. I think the secret language has been cracked, and there is very important information on it."

"So, do you think there will be a new victim soon?" Dumblido looked at Lawrence with sharp blue eyes. Lawrence could find that in the blue eyes, in addition to scrutiny, was more vigilant.

"I think so," Lawrence replied, Dunbulito was silent, he seemed to be measuring something, and then he seemed to make some decision,

"I need your help," Dumbledore said. "If this really happens, closing the school is the only option..."

"...But before that, I might be dismissed first," Dumbredo's blue eyes flashed with anger, "I hope you can trust someone at that time."

"Who?" Lawrence asked,

"Severus," Dunbulido replied, "Severus Snape."

Author's words: Next cycle midterm exam.

Note 1: Colin, who was originally killed at night, is now killed. It is not difficult to leave a person alone, just like Harry's spell in the fourth episode that made Cedric's backpack crack.

Note 2: Lawrence didn't know where Dunbulido was, so he went to the principal's office to find Phoenix Fox and asked him to bring the principal over.

Note 3: Like Tom fifty years ago. Riddle.

Note 4: Just like Tom fifty years ago. Riddle, in fact, I think it is very likely that Dunbulido has discovered that Ginny has a small problem, just like in the book, when Colin happened, Dunbulido said in the hospital room, "The problem is not who it is, how to do it."
