Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 35 Polyjuice Potion

Not everyone is as wise as Dumbledore, and the news of Penelope and the crying Peachgolden Lady being attacked spreads instantly throughout Hogwarts.

Suddenly, rumors were flying in the school, and everyone was suspicious of ghosts.

Even the ghosts are starting to get scared, and they don't know what terrible force can hurt a dead man.

During this time, schools began to exchange amulets, exorcisms and other things to protect themselves. Ivan saw Neville Lombardon buy a stinking onion, a pointy purple crystal and a rotting newtail tail.

As a result, the other Gryffindor boys told him that he was not actually in danger, that he was of pure descent and therefore would not be attacked.

“They did it to Felch first.” Neville said that his round face was full of fear, "as you all know, I'm almost a mute. ”

Neville's words were endorsed by Colin, who hesitated to buy the purple crystal from the other party, which was said to protect him from harm.

Apart from that, Percy's performance was unusual.

His arm recovered fairly well, but when he saw the petrified Penelope in the school hospital, he seemed frightened. He is not passionate about maintaining order or expressing his views in the public lounge and sits alone in front of the fire every night without knowing what to think.

Even worse than Percy is Ginny, who's been so upset lately.

She found Ivan in a pale face several times, seemed to have something to say, but ended up saying nothing.

It was so suspicious, after Ivan's repeated questioning and finally during a magic lesson, Ginny swallowed up and told him that she was having nightmares every night, dreaming that Harry, Ivan or the rest of the Weasley family had been killed by monsters in the secret room, which made her very worried.

Evan comforted her for a while, and he wasn't sure if Ginny was getting so upset because she noticed she was under Tom Riddle's control.

He received information that the Ron, Ginny and Weasley twins had left the school hospital shortly after they left, but that the four men had not acted together and that no one knew if they had visited the bathroom on the third floor during that time.

The situation is so bad that freshmen in the first grade are now always clustered in tight clusters as if they were afraid that they would be attacked if they acted alone. Nobody wants to be with Ivan but Colin. Wherever he went, someone pointed a finger at him.

Harry and Hermione were also treated the same way, and people were hiding far away from the three of them, who seemed to have been identified as the murderers who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

Harry was still the most suspicious one, and the little wizards with big brain holes even figured out a reason. Pippy said that the crying goldsmith had offended Harry at Nick's birthday party. After talking to Harry, she reportedly ran back to the bathroom crying. Ravenclaw's girls also went on to confirm that when Harry tried to break into the girls' bathroom on the third floor, he was caught by Penelope, so he killed her.

Imagined by such rumours, Hogwarts Magic has the lowest sales in history, with only 300 copies sold in the latest issue.

No one is willing to buy a suspect's newspaper until the truth has come to light. Besides, the little wizards were all focused on the secret room, and they were no longer as interested in the Quidditch game or the Lohat rhetorical novels.

The only benefit of the attack was Ron's renewed willingness to speak to Ivan.

Probably because Ivan's spell struck Percy and made him think Ivan was on his side. Or because the Chamber of Secrets was opened again and finally made him realize that things were urgent, now was not the time to make a fuss.

For days and nights, they shrunk in the corner of the public lounge and whispered.

Harry, Ron and Hermione agreed that they had missed the key clue, and as victims of the opening of the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago, the crying Peach Golden Girl must have known something. But now she's like a black air cushion ship with no voice, floating quietly in a school hospital, unable to talk to anyone, unable to tell anyone what she knows.

Ivan knew how to open the Chamber, but he didn't say he wasn't ready for battle, let alone where Tom Riddle was hiding.

“I think there's something wrong with our thinking. ”

Ron pretended to be confused, "As far as we know, who thinks people from Muggles are trash? ”

“What if you're talking Malfoy? ”

“Of course it's him!” Ron said, "Look at his ugly mouse face and you'll see that Dobby, the elvish who attacked you, is their home. ”

“Yes, Dobby did mention the Chamber of Secrets and the conspiracy.” Hermione said, "but we can't be sure Malfoy is Slytherin's successor. ”

“Please, Hermione!” Harry followed, “Look at the family, they're all in Slytherin, and he used to show off with this. They are most likely descendants of Slytherin, and his father is evil enough. ”

“They may have held the keys to the secret room for centuries!” Ron said, "Generations pass down, fathers pass it on to their sons. ”

“Yeah, that's possible too...” Hermione said cautiously, "Ivan, what do you think? ”

“Malfoy should know something, even if he is not the heir. ”

Ivan thought it would be a good idea to ask Draco Malfoy himself, in addition to continuing to pay attention to Ginny, to find Tom Riddle's diary in the current sophisticated circumstances.

Lucius may not reveal his plan to him, but there must be some trace of him, such as which Hogwarts student, besides the Weasleys, they have been in contact with, so long as there is a clue, the suspicion can be considerably narrowed.

“Ivan and I thought so, but the question is how can we get Malfoy to tell us the truth?” Harry said pessimistically.

“I have a way!” Hermione slowly said, looking up in a hurry to make sure no one was eavesdropping and lowering their voice, "Of course, it wasn't easy to do, and it was dangerous, very dangerous, and we were about to break 50 school rules. ”

“What is it, if you want to tell us, don't cover it up.” Ron said impatiently.

“What we need to do is go into Slytherin's public lounge, ask Malfoy a few questions, and keep him from recognizing us.” Hermione said calmly.

“It's impossible.” Harry and Ron almost laughed.

“No, possibly!” Ivan closed his eyes, "as long as we had some compound. ”

“What is that?” Ron and Harry asked in unison.

“It's compound soup!” Hermione was surprised to say, "Evan, how could you know? ”

“I've seen in books that this soup can turn you into someone else. ”

“Yes, we can be four Slytherin students. No one will know it's us, Malfoy might tell us everything. Hermione continued," He's probably bragging in Slytherin's public lounge right now, but unfortunately we can't hear him. ”

“I think this compound or something is a little hanging. ”

Ron said, frowning, "What if we become four Slytherins and never come back? ”

“The drug will disappear after a while.” Hermione waved impatiently, "Snape said, the drug formula was documented in a book called Powerful Drugs, which was in the library's restricted book area. But that's not the problem, and I'll find a way to get it, and Professor Lockhart might be willing to sign it for us. ”

“That guy is willing to sign everything.” Ron muttered in a low voice.

“The problem now is the raw materials, and I think we can find them in Snape's personal collection. ”

“Hermione, this is too risky, Snape is not Lockhart, and we do this easy for him to spot.” Harry was a little hesitant.

“But...”

“That's not the problem, Hogwarts Magic has had a lot of savings lately, and we can use it to buy medicines.” Ivan followed, “and I even picked the place to make the compound, just on the third floor, in the girls' bathroom. ”

“Oh, no!” Ron said powerlessly that Harry didn't look well either.

“That's the safest place, and Felch is not there right now. Following two consecutive attacks, few people in the school were willing to approach that corridor. ”

Apart from brewing the medicine, Ivan is not prepared to continue to adventure.

He will personally guard the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets from which anyone who controls Tom Riddle will pass if he wants to enter it.

And Ivan wanted to see if he'd found Tom Riddle's diary there, just like the original plot.
