Chapter 187: Get Information from the Ghosts

Suddenly, everyone looked at Harry.

Special clues?

so smart.

Is this the power of the savior?

Facing everyone's gaze, Harry couldn't help but twitching his lips. He calmed himself down and continued.

"I heard from a special source that the Chamber of Secrets was opened for the second time on Halloween."

hiss--

Hearing Harry's words, the students couldn't help but gasp, making an outstanding contribution to global warming.

"Open it for the second time?"

"When was the first time?"

“Who opened it the first time?”

"This time it was Filch's cat that was attacked. Who was attacked the first time?"

"Potter, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us everything you know so that we can discuss it together."

The classroom was in chaos. The little wizards asked questions one after another. They had so many details they wanted to know.

Faced with everyone's questions, Harry looked helpless.

This news was told to him by the elf Dobby last time, but because Ron got up at night, the elf was frightened and disappeared.

As for who opened it for the first time and when it was opened, I didn't have time to ask.

In the past two weeks, Ron, Hermione and I have been looking for relevant information.

But I didn't find any useful information, as if the school had completely covered up the matter.

Harry spread his hands: "Unfortunately, my friends and I investigated for a long time and found nothing."

"There is no record in the school history, and there is no book in the library that records this incident."

That's it...

The young wizards nodded in disappointment and then looked at Sebastian.

Looking at the students' expectant eyes, Sebastian smiled slightly and decided to give them some hints.

"There are many ways to investigate. In addition to reading books, you can also get information by asking others."

When the young wizards heard this, they immediately started talking about it. "But no one knows, who can we ask..."

"You can expand your thinking. In addition to asking classmates and teachers, don't forget that there is a special existence in Hogwarts - ghosts."

"They have lived in Hogwarts for a long time. Perhaps you can find out something."

The little wizards' eyes lit up.

ghost!

How could I forget about this?

Professor Swann has a very flexible mind.

They acted right away. As soon as the get out of class was over, the little wizards started discussing and assigned the tasks.

Harry was assigned to Nearly Headless Nick;

Cedric was assigned to the Fat Friar of Hufflepuff;

......

In Gryffindor tower.

"Hello, Nick," Harry found the nearly headless Nick and asked, "I want to ask you something."

"Oh, Harry," Nick bowed his head slightly, his head almost rolling down as he moved, "of course. What is it that bothers the proud Gryffindor in me so much?"

Harry scratched his head and considered his words: "Do you know the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts? It is said that it was opened a long time ago..."

Nick's tone was somewhat hollow. "Secret Chamber? Oh, that's a terrible rumor. To be honest, I don't know much about the Secret Chamber."

"Rumor has it that it was built by Slytherin himself, but I have never seen it in person, and I don't know when it was ever opened."

Harry was a little disappointed, but he thought about it.

The opening of the secret room caused a sensation throughout the school.

Then the last time the secret room was opened, there should have been quite a stir.

So he changed his angle and asked, "Nick, do you remember any major events that happened in Hogwarts in the past few decades?"

After hearing this, Nick looked thoughtful: "Oh, your question reminds me that there is indeed something that impressed me deeply."

"About 50 years ago, a Gryffindor student was expelled."

"Besides, his wand was broken."

"This had quite a big impact at the time. You know, Hogwarts rarely expelled students."

Harry's eyes widened. "Expelled? Why? Do you know who that student was?"

Nick nodded and shook his head again: "I don't remember his name, but that student is now the warden of the Forbidden Forest."

"As for the reason for the expulsion..." Nick whispered.

"The situation was very complicated at the time, and there were rumors that he was responsible for the death of a student."

"However, he has always maintained that he is innocent."

"I don't know the specifics."

The Warden of the Forbidden Forest?

That's Hagrid!

Harry was shocked beyond words at the thought.

He just couldn't believe that Hagrid would cause the death of a student.

Could it be that he was the one who opened the secret room and released the monster inside?

But it doesn't make sense. If that were the case, Headmaster Dumbledore wouldn't have let him be the guard of the Forbidden Forest.

Harry's mind was in a mess. He nodded, and although his heart felt heavy, he understood that this was the most valuable clue he had obtained so far.

"Thank you, Nick," Harry said sincerely, "it means a lot to me."

"Nothing," Nick smiled slightly, his head nearly falling off again, "If you need more help, feel free to come see me."

Watching Nick drift away, Harry sorted out the information he had just received in his mind.

It seems that I must find Hagrid in person to find out.

........................

In the Auror training class, everyone actively exchanged the latest information they had collected.

"I found out that the first time the Chamber of Secrets was opened was fifty years ago."

"I also found out that a senior named Tom Riddle caught the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets, and he received the school's special contribution award because of it."

"I also got some clues. The student captured by Senior Riddle seems to be the current Forbidden Forest Warden - Hagrid, but I haven't confirmed the authenticity of this clue yet."

Hearing this, Harry immediately defended Hagrid, "I have confirmed that it was not Hagrid who opened the Chamber of Secrets. He was wrongly accused."

"He kept an eight-eyed spider, and people at the time thought the eight-eyed spider was the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, so Hagrid was expelled."

Harry couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the eight-eyed spider that was bigger than the carriage.

"I found the eight-eyed spider and confirmed it. It said that the monster in the secret room is the eight-eyed spider's natural enemy."

Hearing this, Cedric added: "I also think that the monster in the secret room is not an eight-eyed spider."

"With the help of the Fat Friar, I found the student who was killed by the monster in the secret room - Crying Myrtle."

"She said she died because she saw a pair of yellow eyes."

"But she didn't see what kind of monster it was."

Feeling that the time was right, Sebastian clapped his hands to attract the students' attention.

"Very good. After everyone's efforts, the clues are now very clear."

"It's very clear what kind of monster is in the secret room."

Sebastian asked encouragingly, glancing around.

"Has any of you figured out what that monster is?"
