076 The Location of the Chamber of Secrets A large cloud, dark and ominous, floated over and covered the sky, obscuring the bright moon that had been shining down on the Hogwarts campus. A sudden gust of wind blew on the spacious lawn, making the grass sway and rustle. The Hogwarts castle on the cliff was brightly lit, but the flickering candles in the windows seemed to convey a sense of panic and anxiety that pervaded the school. Bryan escorted the three distraught young wizards back to the Gryffindor common room, his face grave and solemn. Harry seemed to sense that he would take some action next, and he felt a surge of guilt and regret. Standing in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady, who looked at them with concern, he asked Professor Watson if he could do something to help. "It's all because of me–" Harry didn't dare to look into Ron's eyes, which were red and swollen from crying. He lowered his head and said sadly, "If I had been more alert, not so easily trusting that notebook, maybe Ginny wouldn't have been taken into that chamber, Hagrid wouldn't have been taken away by the Ministry of Magic, and Lucius Malfoy wouldn't have found a chance to drive away Dumbledore!" "It's not your fault, Harry–" Hermione patted Harry's back with a gentle voice, trying to comfort him. "Many wizards with more experience than you couldn't resist the temptation of the You-Know-Who. We didn't notice that the diary was hiding evil intentions." She looked at Bryan with a hopeful expression, wondering if he had any clues or plans. "Hogwarts can't afford to lose another young wizard, Potter–" Bryan's memory hidden in the dormitory had told him some key information, but it didn't mention the specific location of the chamber. He looked at Harry who was depressed, and smiled with a hint of meaning. "The snake monster in the chamber is not something that an ungraduated young wizard can easily deal with. If you accidentally encounter it, remember not to look at it–" He winked at Harry, implying that he knew something more.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com On the way back to his office, Bryan met Professor McGonagall outside the hospital wing on the fourth floor. She was furious, scolding a few older Hufflepuff girls who had been caught sneaking out of their dormitory. Seeing Bryan coming from afar, Professor McGonagall stopped scolding, and let Filch escort them back to their dormitory with a stern warning. "These students!" Professor McGonagall's face was pale, and she clenched her lips and spat out word by word. "They actually sneaked out to find Gilderoy, hoping he could help them deal with that heir. It's ridiculous that even Albus can't do anything about it–" She sighed and shook her head, as if she had lost faith in those students. "It can only be said that Professor Lockhart's books do have a decent charm." Bryan suddenly frowned. He looked at the young witch seriously, and judged in an instant that Hermione was not lying. This is really a strange thing. He had clearly sent them back to the Gryffindor common room. Could it be that these stubborn little guys ran out to search the castle again? "Tell me in detail about your findings, Miss Granger!" Now is not the time to worry about irrelevant things. Bryan steadied his mind and asked directly. "Huh, it's like this, Professor Watson!" Hermione gasped heavily, but now she had no time to ask Professor Watson for a cup of water. She licked her dry lips and said with a hoarse but fast tone. "It was Harry. We three didn't go back to our dormitory to sleep after returning to the common room, but discussed You-Know-Who's diary in the common room. At first, we talked about some meaningless things, but later, Harry suddenly thought of something very important!" "What is it?" Looking at Hermione who suddenly widened her amber eyes, Bryan quickly asked. "–Before, when Harry was communicating with that diary, he accidentally heard the diary say that fifty years ago, the student who died from the snake attack died in a bathroom!" Hermione said excitedly. "Go on, Miss Granger!" Bryan's brows moved slightly. His tone revealed obvious excitement. The so-called 'protagonist' is really a magical species. All kinds of opportunities are being stuffed into their hands! "The bathroom on the third floor!" Hermione said decisively. "There has always been a ghost in that bathroom. We call her 'Moaning Myrtle'. She is the student who died fifty years ago. We got clues from her. Harry opened the entrance to the chamber. He and Ron went ahead to save Ginny. Huh, Harry asked me to come and tell you this!" Bryan's shoulders relaxed again. He took a long breath and finally smiled. "Let's go, Miss Granger." He said warmly. "Let's bring that poor little girl back!" He grabbed his cloak and wand, and gestured Hermione to follow him. He hoped they were not too late. /FicFrenzy
