244 No escape, attacker, dark creature
Meadows' story is finally complete.
Muggle-borns with excellent academic performance were bullied by pure-blood supremacists.
Eventually, after being tortured, Meadows gained the ability to resist and nearly killed Bellatrix.
Although she stopped in time when Professor Sprout stopped her, the hatred continued.
And Meadows also became a person who hated purebloods.
She was even prepared to pay with her life for it.
But even though she was determined to die, when faced with the elder wand, which was believed to increase the chance of survival, she still did not snatch it from Karan, but silently waited for his decision.
Even though she is probably already in an unknown place at this time, in mortal danger.
This is a good girl who hates purebloods but still has a bottom line.
It's just that she is much more pitiful.
Even more pitiful than the original Snape.
Because before she fully revealed her magical talent, she didn't even have the ability to resist.
She could only bear it silently and keep escaping.
Karan finally understood why Meadows' character was so extreme.
Because this time, she didn't want to escape.
She would never run away again.
On the way out of the Slytherin common room, "Regulus" silently lowered his head and thought.
The effect of the Polyjuice Potion would wear off soon, and he had to get back to the potion making room as soon as possible.
Snape followed closely beside "Regulus", his cheeks no longer so yellow but looking a little gloomy.
But his mind was not on Meadows' story at the moment.
"You're saying that the opening of the secret room is likely to be related to the mysterious person?"
After a long time, Snape finally asked with a frown.
Although Narcissa's subsequent words were spoken to "Regulus" alone, Karan said those words to Snape as soon as he left the lounge.
But he didn't answer Snape's question, he just nodded with the same frown.
Of course the secret room will be related to the mysterious man, but Karan can't figure out how he did it - after all, the diary as a Horcrux no longer exists.
And Karan still doesn't understand how Lucius noticed this?Why did he decide that something unusual would happen at Hogwarts this semester?
At this time, Snape's mood was even more complicated than Callan's.
Through Karan's words - just like Narcissa - he also glimpsed part of the true cruel face of the mysterious man.
Although Snape loved dark magic, the punishment of being frightened was not what he wanted.
After walking around another corner, the two people with their own thoughts came to the prize display room on the fourth floor.
The scene before him was the same as the day of the attack, and the writing on the wall had not been erased. It was said that Filch had tried many methods without success.
There was an empty chair placed at the door of the trophy display room, which Filch specially used to guard here.
But he's not here today.
And there was actually a person standing in front of the wall.
It's Professor Kettleburn.
Callan remembered that when the three of them first returned to the scene of the incident, the first professor who showed up was Kettleburn. He was checking Mrs. Norris's condition at the time. He didn't know if he had identified the attacker. Fantastic Beasts.
Professor Kettleburn also noticed the two people walking in a hurry, but he still walked towards them.
Snape became a little anxious in his heart. He was worried that "Regulus" would suddenly turn back into Karan in front of Professor Kettleburn.
But when he looked over, he found that "Regulus" had a slightly frightened expression on his face.
Professor Kettleburn also raised his question at this time.
"Why did you suddenly stop going to the Fire Crab Club?" he asked "Regulus".
From the looks of it, even though he had given all the teaching tasks to Hagrid, he didn't care at all.
"because......"
"Regulus" said hesitantly: "This is my parents' decision. They are not willing to let me step into the Forbidden Forest again."
He then said softly: "I don't want to let me come into contact with those magical animals anymore..."
Karan acted like it was real.
Snape silently cursed in his heart.
But he soon lost his mind to care about Karan.
"Humph!"
After Professor Kettleburn made a dissatisfied snort, his gaze shifted to Snape.
"What about you, little one?" he asked, "Why don't you want to join the Fire Crab Club?"
It was clear that the words were just questions, but he spoke them with the aura of torture.
Snape lowered his head nervously, and he defended in a low voice, "I need to go back to the store to help during the weekend - the Gobstone Club store in Hogsmeade."
In fact, Snape stopped doing such things long ago, because Mrs. Prince did not allow him to waste time on such trivial matters.
I don’t know if Professor Kettleburn noticed that the two of them were lying.
He stared at the two of them back and forth for a while, and he stared at Snape obviously much longer than "Regulus".
"Better so."
At least he didn't seem to trust Snape that much - because the expression on Snape's face was not as natural as "Regulus's".
But Professor Kettleburn seemed not to pursue the matter any further. He struggled to move his wooden prosthetic leg and was about to leave.
But "Regulus" suddenly stopped him.
"Professor," he asked cringingly, "do you know what attacked Mrs. Norris?"
Snape lowered his head and frowned slightly. He felt that Callan was just wasting his time by doing this.
But unexpectedly, Professor Kettleburn stopped.
"The attacker has very profound black magic skills." He said solemnly, staring at "Regulus".
But "Regulus" didn't show anything strange. He seemed to be asking just out of curiosity.
"But we don't rule out the possibility of some magical animals." Professor Kettleburn continued: "If the secret room really exists, it is very likely that there is a terrifying dark creature locked in it."
"But that was from the Slytherin period, right?" Snape couldn't help but ask, "This has been nearly 1000 years ago. What kind of monster can live for that long?"
"Then you should consider joining the Fire Crab Club." Professor Kettleburn said unceremoniously.
"This way you will know that among the dark creatures there are many beings who can survive for a long time."
"For example, vampires, ghosts, dementors."
"And the basilisk."
