Chapter 145 Murder in the Hogwarts Ladies' Bathroom
·
Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
During school, Douglas and Tonks had a good relationship.
Once Tonks also wanted to join Douglas's night tour team and cook in the kitchen.
However, she is really poor in hands-on ability, and she can drop a plate even if she carries it.
When Douglas was in the fifth grade, he brought Tonks and Bill Charlie, who were in the third grade, together for a hot pot meal. But because of Tonks, they were spotted by Filch before they left the castle.
Several people ran away separately, but in the end Tonks was still caught by Filch, and in the end Tonks was very loyal and did not confess to the three of Douglas.
Out of guilt, Douglas gave Tonks some pamphlets about training special wizards that he had compiled privately.
Then tell her that when she learns the above content and can track Douglas's whereabouts without him noticing, she will take her to play together.
As a result, Douglas didn't expect that Tonks' talent in action was indeed poor, and Tonks had never succeeded until he graduated.
There was even a time when Tonks pretended not to notice her whereabouts because Douglas let her go, and cried a lot.
Don't get me wrong, Douglas doesn't have any sexual feelings for Tonks, he just treats her as a very good-tempered little sister.At the same time, because he knew Tonks' future ending, he tried to train the opponent in advance so that she could increase her chances of survival in future battles.
When everyone came to the principal's office, they found that Dumbledore was talking to an old man.
Both the professors at Hogwarts and the leaders of the Ministry of Magic greeted the old man warmly.
This kind of scene still made the old man feel a little cramped, as if he seldom saw so many people.
At last Douglas also stepped forward and said very happily:
"Long time no see, Professor Scamander."
The person who came was the magic zoologist, the author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", and Hufflepuff's old senior-Newt Scamander.
The other party seemed to be curious about why Douglas appeared at Hogwarts, but he noticed that Douglas was standing next to the Auror team of the Ministry of Magic, so he asked suspiciously:
"Well, uh...Douglas, long time no see. Are you...are you joining the Ministry of Magic now?"
The others were also curious and looked at the two of them.
After all, when Newt Scamander retired and lived in seclusion, Douglas hadn't graduated yet. Logically speaking, the two should not know each other.
After the old professor retired, he still devoted himself to magical animals, and really didn't pay attention to the trend of the magic world at all.
Douglas and Newt Scamander met in the Brazilian rainforest. At that time, the other party was studying flame slugs. Because Douglas also graduated from Hufflepuff and knew a lot about magical animals, the two went together. for a while.
But before Dumbledore or Douglas introduced themselves.
The Minister of Magic Fudge on the side said with a smile:
"Newt, it seems that the place where you live in seclusion is really isolated from the world. This is the youngest professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and he is also a very famous writer in our magic world. He has written many novels. .
I was just talking to him about joining the Ministry of Magic..."
After Newt heard it, he glanced at Douglas in surprise, and then at Dumbledore. He had also heard the rumor.
"Um, so, you have been in office for a year, how do you feel?"
Douglas shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile:
"It feels pretty good...By the way, professor, I also raised a sniff recently."
Professor Kettleburn said loudly from the side:
"The little boy who was born not long ago, I gave it to him."
Newt suddenly grinned and said:
"That's not a very good pet..."
After some pleasantries, the topic was finally introduced.
Dumbledore led the crowd to the women's bathroom on the second floor where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was hidden.
Weeping Myrtle had already been waiting at the door on Douglas' suggestion. Besides Myrtle, there were other ghosts floating in the surrounding corridors.
For example, Slytherin is resident of the ghost bloodman Barrow. He is the first student of Hogwarts, and he also studied magic with Salazar Slytherin himself for seven years.
When he learned that Salazar Slytherin's secret room was hidden here, he couldn't believe it all the time, and what was even more unbelievable was that this information was discovered by a very annoying Hufflepuff.
Although the ghosts don't like Douglas, the most hated one is Douglas's non-blood Baron (Peves is not a ghost.)
Because when Douglas went to the Astronomy Tower for the first time to eat hot pot, he found that the bloody Barrow was humming and singing along with the chains on his body.
No matter how much the bloody Barrow frightened him, Douglas and the others did not leave, and one of the Gryffindors even tried to find out his story.
Douglas even suggested that Barrow the Bloody could practice a Muggle sport while wearing chains, which was nothing short of humiliating to the great Barrow.
When they saw the bloody Baron, several people from Slytherin took the initiative to greet him.
Douglas noticed that several of them seemed to be looking unnaturally at Myrtle.
Immediately, he knew in his heart that these few must have been at the prefect level when they were in school.
Myrtle likes to watch them bathe in the prefects' bathroom, chat with them and relax, and listen to their complaints.
This matter was an open secret among the prefects at Hogwarts. After all these years, Myrtle had heard how many secrets about first love.
Of course, Douglas didn't have this kind of treatment, after all, he had already offended the Hogwarts ghosts at that time.
Under the surprised eyes of all the Aurors, Douglas opened the door of the women's bathroom.
Tonks had a clear expression, this is definitely something he can do.
Then the other professors used this to cancel the early warning magic they arranged.
As they entered the ladies' room, Douglas said suddenly:
"We have an old case to deal with before entering."
Fudge was taken aback, and looked at Dumbledore. This item was not included in the original agreement.
Dumbledore just said lightly:
"I have entrusted Professor Holmes with full authority to handle this operation."
Then everyone looked at Douglas again.
Hagrid was the first to react, and suddenly began to sob softly, but as the dead Myrtle at that time, she still looked at everything blankly.
Fudge frowned and looked at Douglas, trying to keep his tone very calm:
"Professor Holmes, what is the relationship between the old case you mentioned and today's events? Of course, I still remember that case..."
Douglas raised his eyebrows and said unceremoniously:
"Of course it has something to do with it. This was an unjust, false and wrongly decided case by the Ministry of Magic government at that time, and the real murderer in that case was the basilisk."
Speaking of this, Douglas wanted to complain about the criminal investigation methods of the Ministry of Magic. As the criminal investigation agency for wizards in the wizarding world, Auror has obviously been reduced to a pure combat department.
"On June 1943, 6, a murder case occurred in this bathroom. The murderer was finally determined to be a monster raised by Rubeus Hagrid."
Hagrid sobbed and said:
"No, no, Aragog didn't kill...no..."
Douglas didn't wait for everyone to ask, and asked Myrtle:
"Myrtle, can you describe again how you died?"
This is not the first time that Douglas asked Myrtle this question. In order to tell a story to Dumbledore, he once created a complete chain of evidence, just to prevent Dumbledore from inquiring in private and discovering that his story was false.
When Myrtle heard this question, her expression changed suddenly, as if it was a great honor for her to describe this event, especially in the presence of so many people.
"Oh, I remember you asked this question last time, so I'll say it again.
Ouch, that was a horrible thing, it happened right here, I remember it very well, when Olive Hornbe laughed at me for wearing glasses like a fucking dog, and I just hid here and locked the door and cried inside . "
Fudge frowned and said, "Myrtle, just get straight to the point, how did you die."
Myrtle suddenly turned cold, and was very upset that someone interrupted her story, and this person was not the professor she was afraid of. Thinking of this, Myrtle's tears rolled down her cheeks:
"Oh, you don't care about my death at all, yes, not at all.
Yeah, who cares about a poor, moaning, moping Myrtle!
Of course, no one cares about killing evil except ghost killers..."

However, she is really poor in hands-on ability, and she can drop a plate even if she carries it.
