Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 58 True School History

Hermione was a little curious because she thought this might work.

Then Johanna replaced Lu Ke and began to teach Hermione this speed method.

Because in fact, Lu Ke had taught her a long time ago, but Johanna had been too lazy to use it.

Hermione picked it up quickly, and she turned the pages of the book much faster.

Then there is no more.

Several of them worked hard together, but the speed of turning the book was not very fast.

Harry and Malfoy are both people who don't like to sit down all the time. Ron can barely hold on now, but he is not the kind of person who likes to bury his head in a book.

And it's nice weather again today.

So in the afternoon, the members of the Quidditch team went to practice.

Lu Ke was left alone in the library.

He really doesn't know how to accomplish this, but now he can only work hard.

Time was slowly coming to an end, and Lu Ke simply could not imagine what would happen in Hogwarts after a basilisk broke out of the secret room.

But he was still making slow progress.

Lu Ke couldn't help but start to think that maybe he really could only rely on Lockhart.

Then looking at Lockhart's perfect smile that appeared in front of him, Lu Ke shook his head.

As expected, this matter still requires preparation.

Lu Ke shook his head and prepared to find someone for help.

The man he chose was Professor Binns.

As a ghost, he is also a professor of the history of magic at Hogwarts, and he was also a member of the team who helped Hufflepuff during the trials. He has always had a good relationship with Lu Ke, and there is no more suitable person to ask for help than Professor Binns. .

So in the afternoon, Lu Ke walked out of the library and went to Professor Binns' office.

As a ghost, Professor Binns' life is definitely the most boring among ghosts. When he is alone, he just flips through books, or simply sits in a daze.

Seeing Lu Ke, Professor Binns showed a very happy expression: "Lu Ke? Welcome."

Lu Ke smiled and nodded: "I need help, Professor Binns."

Professor Binns nodded, then floated back to his chair: "What's the matter?"

Lu Ke was silent for a moment: "Is it possible that there are snakes hidden in Hogwarts Castle?"

Professor Binns fell silent.

He seemed completely unable to understand the question.

Lu Ke could only wait with a helpless smile.

Professor Binns may not like this question, but Lu Ke has no other choice.

Professor Binns raised his head and sighed: "Have you heard that legend?"

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment: "What legend?"

Professor Binns nodded: "The legend about the secret room."

Lu Ke smiled: "I have never heard of it, but this is indeed a clue."

Professor Binns nodded: "It was once a widely circulated legend in Hogwarts. Of course, it was not mainly because it was credible, but because it was shocking enough."

"Like, Slytherin left a secret room deep in Hogwarts, which contained his secret weapon to cleanse all Muggle wizards. Such claims do not respect the facts, do not pursue evidence, and only use Rumors to stimulate entertainment are worthless.”

"It doesn't have any credibility."

Lu Ke nodded: "Is this unreliable rumor the only clue about possible snakes?"

Professor Binns was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Actually... this so-called secret room was opened fifty years ago."

Lu Ke immediately showed a surprised look: "What?"

Professor Binns nodded: "And it also caused a tragedy within Hogwarts. A poor Ravenclaw girl... died in the school."

"At that time, many people believed that Slytherin's secret weapon had been awakened, but no one knew what it was. However, considering Slytherin's preference for snakes, it is indeed possible that it was a snake."

Lu Ke nodded: "That's why there are rumors like that. What do you think, professor?"

Professor Binns shook his head without hesitation: "If there is no evidence, then it is regarded as non-existent. What's more, the accident has been proven to be a student who brought in magical creatures from outside, and eventually lost control and caused this tragedy."

Lu Ke nodded: "I understand...that is to say, my clue is broken..."

Professor Binns shook his head: "Maybe you should think about whether it is an ordinary snake that escaped from the Forbidden Forest. That is more likely."

Lu Ke nodded casually: "Actually, I think that history is often hidden in rumors, and the distorted evolution of historical records is also a part of history that should be studied..."

Professor Binns looked thoughtful.

Then they talked a few words together about topics related to the study of the history of magic, and Lu Ke said goodbye and left.

He really didn't have time.

Walking in the corridor, Lu Ke let out a long breath.

If the founder's test means anything to him, then Lu Ke can now give the answer with certainty, and that is complete change.

It was the test of Hufflepuff that made Lu Ke learn to rely on his friends. Asking Professor Binns for help this time was something he would never do before.

Lu Ke returned to the hall and sat at the Slytherin long table.

The question now is how to proceed.

However, the first step has been completed, and Lu Ke is sure of victory.

He believes he can meet the deadline, but the process will not be easy.

Determining the location of the secret room will be the most troublesome part.

First, find the myrtle.

This is a very crybaby ghost who treats Harry specially, but is not clear-headed.

I'm afraid it would be difficult for her to give useful clues.

This is like a puzzle with some pieces missing. Lu Ke already knew what it would look like after the pieces were put together, but he still had to put all the pieces together before he could tell the final answer.

This process can be very troublesome.

But now, Lu Ke felt that he could doubt Myrtle.

Of course, there must be a valid reason.

At dinner time, Johanna came back.

Seeing Lu Ke sitting at the long table, she showed an unexpected look.

"You didn't stay in the library?"

Lu Ke nodded: "I thought of another way."

Johanna looked curious: "What can I do?"

Lu Ke smiled and pointed at the bloody Barrow floating over.

"Ghosts, they actually know more of the secrets of Hogwarts than most professors."

Johanna sighed: "But even I can't convince the ghosts. They are completely different from wizards. My ability to influence other people's opinions is completely ineffective."

Lu Ke nodded, he could probably understand, because the reason for the existence of the ghost itself was related to their thoughts. If it could be easily changed, the ghost might disappear completely out of thin air.
