Chapter 36： Compound decoction

Not everyone is as wise as Dumbledore, and the news that Penelope and the crying Myrtle were attacked spread throughout Hogwarts.

Suddenly, there were rumors in the school, and everyone was suspicious.

Even the ghosts began to get scared. They didn't know what terrible power could hurt a dead person.

During this time, the school began to exchange the amulet, exorcism and other things to protect themselves. Avon saw that Neville Long Barton bought a stinky big onion, a pointed amethyst and a rotting otter tail.

As a result, other boys in Gryffindor told him that he was actually not in danger. He was pure blood and would not be attacked.

"They started with Filch first." Neville said that his round face was full of fear. "Everyone knows that I am almost a dumb gun."

Neville’s words were approved by Colin. He hesitated to buy the amethyst from the other side. It is said that this thing can protect himself from harm.

In addition, Percy's performance is also very abnormal.

His arm recovered quite well, but when he saw the petrified Penello in the school hospital, it seemed to be frightened. He is not currently keen to maintain order in the public restroom or to express his own views. Every night, he sits alone in front of the fire and does not know what he is thinking.

What is worse than Percy is Ginny, who has recently been upset.

She found Ai Wen a few times pale, and seemed to have something to say, but in the end she said nothing.

This is too suspicious. After Ivan repeatedly questioned, finally in a magical class, Ginny told him that he was having a nightmare every night, dreaming of Harry, Avon or other people in the Weasley family. Killed by monsters in the secret room, which made her very worried.

Ai Wen comforted her for a while, and he wasn't sure if Ginny became so upset because he noticed that he was controlled by Tom Riddle.

The news he got was that, shortly after they left the school hospital, Ron, Ginny and Weasley twins left there, but the four did not act together. No one knew if the other party had been there during that time. The bathroom of the building.

The situation is awful, and the freshmen of the first grade are now crowded together in groups of three and five, as if they were afraid that if they act alone, they will be attacked. No one is willing to be with Ai Wen, except Colin. No matter where he went, there were people pointing at him.

Also enjoying the same treatment are Harry and Hermione. People are far from hiding from them. It seems that the murderers who have opened the Chamber of Secrets are among them.

The most suspected is still Harry, the little wizards who have opened their brains are even looking for good reasons. The Pippi ghosts say that the crying gold maiden has offended Harry at the Nick Babchen party. She is said to be in Harbin. After Lee finished speaking, he cried and ran back to the bathroom. Ravenclaw’s girls also confirmed that when Harry tried to break into the girls’ bathroom on the third floor, he was not seen by Penello, so he was going to kill her.

According to the image of this rumor, the "Hogwarts Magic" sold the lowest in history, and the last issue only sold a poor 300.

No one wants to buy a newspaper for suspects until the truth comes to the fore. What's more, the little wizards' energy is also concentrated in the secret room, and their novels about the Quidditch match or Lockhart are no longer as interesting as before.

The only benefit of the attack was that Ron was willing to talk to Ai Wen again.

It may be because Ai Wen's curse hit Percy and let him think that Ai Wen is standing on his own side. Or because the Chamber of Secrets was once again opened, and finally let him realize that things are pressing, now is not a time of awkwardness.

For a few nights, they all shrank in the corner of the common room and whispered.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione agreed that they missed the key clues. As the victim of the opening of the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago, the crying Myrtle must know something. But now she is like a black hovercraft with no sound, quietly drifting in the school hospital, unable to talk to others, and can not tell the information.

Ai Wen knew how to open the secret room, but he did not say that he was not ready to fight, not to mention that he did not know where Tom Riddle was hiding.

"I think there is something wrong with our thinking."

Ron pretended to be incomprehensible. "As far as we know, who would think that people from Muggle are garbage waste?"

"If you are talking about Malfoy?"

"Of course it is him!" said Ron. "Look at his ugly mouse face and know that the housefather who attacked you is also their home."

"Yes, Dobby really mentioned the Chamber of Secrets and conspiracy," Hermione said. "But we can't be sure that Malfoy is the heir to Slytherin."

"Please, Hermione!" Harry said. "Look at the family. Their family is in Slytherin. He often shows this to people. They are probably descendants of Slytherin. His father is evil enough. of."

"They may have taken the key to the secret room and took it for centuries!" said Ron. "The generation passed down and the father passed it on to his son."

"Yeah, there is such a possibility..." Hermione said cautiously, "Ivan, what do you think?"

"If Malfoy is not an heir, you should know something."

Ai Wen thought about it. In the current confusing situation, in order to find Tom Riddle's diary, in addition to continuing to pay attention to Ginny, it is also a good idea to ask Draco Malfoy himself.

Lucius may not disclose his plan to him, but there must be some clues. For example, apart from the Weasley family, they have contacted Hogwarts students. As long as they have this clue, the scope of doubt can be greatly increased. Zoom out.

"Avon is the same as I thought, but the question is how can we let Malfoy tell us the truth," Harry said pessimistically.

"I have a way!" Hermione said slowly, hurriedly looking up and squinting, making sure that no one was eavesdropping and putting the sound lower. "Of course, it is not easy to do, it is dangerous, very dangerous. We generally violate 50 school rules."

"What the **** is, if you want to tell us, don't cover it," Ron said impatiently.

"The thing we need to do is to enter Slytherin's common room, ask Malfoy a few questions, and not let him recognize us," Hermione said calmly.

"This is impossible." Harry and Ron almost laughed.

"No, it's possible!" Ai Wen narrowed his eyes. "As long as we have some compound decoction."

"What is that?" Ron and Harry asked in unison.

“It’s a compound soup!” said Hermione, “Avon, how do you know?”

"I saw it in the book, this soup can turn you into another person."

"Yes, we can become four Slytherin students. No one knows us, Malfoy may tell us everything." Hermione continued, "He is probably in Slytherin right now." The bragging in the common room, but unfortunately we can’t hear."

"I think something like this compound is a bit hanging."

Ron said, frowning. "What if we become four Slytherin and never get back?"

"The effect will disappear after a while." Hermione waved her hand impatiently. "Snape said that the formula of the pharmacy is documented in a book called "Powerful Pharmacy," which is in the library. In the banned area. But this is not a problem, I will find a way to get it, Professor Lockhart may be willing to sign us."

"That guy is willing to sign everything." Ron whispered.

"The problem now is raw materials, I think we can find those things from Snape's personal collection."

"Hermione, this is too risky, Snape is not Lockhart, we can easily find it by him." Harry hesitated.

"but......"

"This is not a problem. The Hogwarts Magic has a lot of balances recently. We can use it to buy medicines," Ai Wen said. "And I have chosen the place where the compound soup is made. It’s on the third floor of the girl’s bathroom.”

"Oh, no!" Ron said weakly, and Harry's face looked bad.

"That was the safest place, and Filch didn't stay there now. After two consecutive attacks, almost no one in the school was willing to get close to the corridor."

In addition to pharmaceutical agents, Avon is not prepared to continue to take risks.

He wants to be at the entrance to the secret room. No matter who Tom Riddle controls, if he wants to enter the secret room, he will definitely pass there.

Moreover, Ai Wen still wants to take a look, will it be the same as the original plot, where he found Tom Riddle's diary.
