Chapter 606 Shackles

Bai Bai Le Kai Shui
For no reason, the first time Tver heard that Harry was missing, he thought of Karkaroff and Voldemort!
However, conjectures are conjectures after all, and the specific situation must be analyzed in detail. After all, it is normal for Harry to do some dangerous things inexplicably, or things that no one understands.
"Don't be impatient." He comforted Hermione first, but the situation was urgent and he didn't have time to let Hermione go in and rest slowly.
"Tell me the whole story first, and how did you determine that Harry was missing instead of playing his adventure game?"
Seeing Tweel's calm expression and seeing her own heavy breathing relieved, Hermione finally calmed down a little.
"It's like this. Didn't Professor Dumbledore have something unexpected to do some time ago and delayed Harry's class?" She said quickly and neatly while recalling.
"Said that in order to make up for the missing class, he asked Harry to go to the principal's office early this morning."
"but!"
"I saw Professor Dumbledore appear in the auditorium just after dinner, but Harry was not found!"
"Looking for?" Tver captured the key to her words.
"Yes, Ron, Neville, I searched in the Gryffindor Tower, and asked the classmates again. Only a few people saw Harry leaving the principal's office, but no one knew where he went. !”
In other words, either he was deceived by Karkaroff under some pretext after leaving the principal's office, or he discovered some abnormal situation and quietly hid to investigate.
Of course, given Harry's character, it is not possible to rule out the possibility of these two being combined...
But since the Invisibility Cloak is with him, he only has a Marauder's Map at most...
and many more.
Tver suddenly remembered a certain prop that he had almost forgotten.
In Hermione's surprised eyes, he waved his hand, and the wallet originally placed on the table moved and quickly flew into his outstretched palm.
Then with one touch, a thick stack of parchment was taken out with the other hand and unfolded in front of his eyes.
Looking at the map and names on it, before Hermione could recover from her surprise, Tver had already put away the magic spot map in disappointment.
Harry's name isn't on it!
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Voldemort completely hid their traces and names for the sake of safety.
Tver stood at the door, squinting his eyes slightly.
Although he was not 100% sure, he always felt that Voldemort's target was not Harry, or rather, just Harry.
Therefore, Voldemort may not take Harry out of Hogwarts.
In this way, the two of them can be hidden inside the castle, but they are not in the area of the magic point map...
Room of Requirement, or... Chamber of Secrets?
Tver turned his head and looked to the other side thoughtfully.
The girls' bathroom, which had been in disrepair for a long time, still maintained its usual appearance. The cold wind at night blew the door slightly, causing bursts of harsh creaking sounds.
It was so dark inside that it was like the bloody mouth of a prehistoric beast, swallowing up all the light.
It's like an angler fish on the bottom of the sea. A small lantern hangs out, tempting Tver to walk in...
With a determined look in his eyes, he suddenly looked at Hermione.
"Have you told Dumbledore? How is he going to deal with this?"
Hermione was originally staring at the door with the professor's gaze, but was frightened by this sudden question and shrank her neck.
"He... Dumbledore and Sirius already know about it. They said they would notify other professors to search the castle together, so I came here to find you."
After saying that, she glanced at the bathroom and asked hesitantly: "Professor, do you think Harry has entered the secret room?"
The professor's actions just now were so obvious, how could she not guess this if she was so smart.
"It's just possible."
He said so, but Tver was almost certain that they were hiding in the secret room!
"Malvolio, go to the Room of Requirement and see if Voldemort is hiding there..."
When the Room of Requirement is in use, others cannot open the door there, so if Voldemort is not there, you will know as soon as you try.
But if Tweel guesses in the wrong direction, even if the chance is small, Malvolio can use his familiarity with Voldemort to try to enter the room Voldemort needs.
Malvolio stood up without hesitation and walked to Tver's side.
In a way, he also had a share of the soul in Harry's head.
"then you?"
"I'm going to the secret room."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tver's figure disappeared instantly, and only the gust of wind brought by him proved his existence.
"Tsk, that's really convenient." Malvolio smacked his lips. His leisurely attitude was also based on his own strength.
Dumbledore, Tweel and themselves are all staying in Hogwarts, and Grindelwald is in Hogsmeade next to it. At this time, if Voldemort can cause any big things, then they might as well retire. Got it!
However, Voldemort had been planning for so long just to kidnap Harry and then lure Tweel to a one-on-one. It seemed that... it didn't bring him any advantage?
Before he realized that he had set a flag, Malvolio led Hermione towards the stairs in the direction of the Room of Requirement with some confusion.
As he walked, he asked casually out of curiosity: "By the way, have you or Harry ever seen Karkaroff?"
"I don't. Does it have anything to do with Professor Karkaroff?" Hermione asked curiously.
Considering the emergency, she didn't dare to hide anything. After thinking about it, she decided to tell the story about Harry and Karkaroff.
"But Harry told us that he felt that Karkaroff was becoming more and more weird. Especially this morning, when Karkaroff informed Harry to go to class, he said that Karkaroff seemed to have something. It's like something wants to break free..."
"Break free? Why do you say that?"
This statement made Malvolio feel inexplicably uneasy, and he could only comfort himself that this was the effect of Voldemort's Polyjuice Potion being close to ineffective.
Feeling the seriousness in Malvolio's words, Hermione thought carefully before answering cautiously: "According to Harry, he felt that Karkaroff seemed to be trying to get rid of some shackles, and it was a bit unlike him. The twisted feeling..."
shackles?
Malvolio's pupils dilated instantly.
In the magical world, apart from chains in the physical sense, the only thing that can be called a shackle is the Imperius Curse!
If Karkaroff was under the Imperius Curse, what was Voldemort's Polyjuice Potion used for? !
He turned back sharply, and even though they had reached the corridor on the sixth floor, they were still staring down at the floor.
It was as if his gaze could see through layers of obstacles and reach the mysterious secret room...
However, conjectures are conjectures after all, and the specific situation must be analyzed in detail. After all, it is normal for Harry to do some dangerous things inexplicably, or things that no one understands.
