"No, Filch -" Professor Dumbledore shook his head, "This requires a kind of advanced dark magic, and second-year students will definitely not be able to do this."

"The curse stops!" Then, under the gaze of Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and others, Eisen took out his wand and cast a universal curse on the petrified Mrs. Norris.

But the result was just as Eisen expected. After the spell was cast, it had no effect at all. Mrs. Loris was still as hard as a stone.

"Obviously, although Mrs. Norris was petrified, she was not petrified by the petrification spell, but by another advanced black magic method. I think Harry and the others really can't do it!" Then Eisen also said the same thing. Arguments are made to support Dumbledore's views.

In fact, several professors present already understood what Aisen meant.If Mrs. Norris was really petrified by Harry or Ron and Hermione, then a simple spell like the Petrification Curse must have been used.

However, the target petrified by the petrification spell can be removed from the petrification effect by a universal curse such as Stop.After Eisen cast the Understanding Curse just now, it had no effect at all, which obviously meant that Mrs. Loris was not petrified by the Petrification Curse.

Therefore, it can basically be ruled out that Mrs. Norris was attacked by Harry.

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall both nodded and agreed with Eisen's statement.On the other hand, Snape put forward a slightly different opinion at this time.

"Please allow me to say a word, Headmaster." Snape emerged from the shadows. "I also agree with Professor Eisen. Potter and his friends did not attack Mrs. Norris."

Harry was in disbelief at this moment. He didn't expect that Snape would actually speak for him.For a moment, Harry wanted to throw away all the bad feelings he felt towards Snape.But then, Snape's words gave him away.

"But there is a strange question, that is, why did Potter and the others go to the corridor above? Instead of going to the Halloween party, they went to that place for no reason. Isn't it strange?" Snape looked at Harry, There seemed to be a sneer on his face.

Facing the suspicious eyes of everyone, the three people rushed to tell the story about their participation in the death anniversary party.

"Hundreds of ghosts have come, and they can all prove that we are there -" Harry said impatiently, then pointed at Eisen with his eyes lit up, "Professor Eisen also knows about this!"

"Well, they did mention to me that they wanted to attend the th anniversary of the death of Nearly Headless Nick." Seeing everyone focusing on him, Eisen nodded.

"But after this? Why not go to the banquet and instead run to the corridor above?" Snape obviously caught the biggest loophole of a threesome.

"Because-" Harry opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.He felt that if he said that he was attracted there by a sound that was probably a snake, only Professor Eisen, who knew that he was a Parseltongue, would believe him.

However, the problem is that Ron once told him that even in the magical world, it is not a good thing for wizards to hear voices that others cannot hear.Therefore, Harry didn't want anyone to know about it.Wouldn't it be even worse if he was directly suspected of being the heir who opened the secret room and was involved in the attack?

So, after running through these thoughts in his mind, Harry directly came up with a very constructive reason, "Because we are too tired and want to go to bed early."

"But even so, you shouldn't skip dinner!" Snape showed a proud expression, "I'm sure that the food at the death anniversary party is not suitable for living people to eat!"

"We're not hungry!" At this time, Ron, who couldn't stand Snape, shouted loudly, wanting to support Harry, but his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

"My opinion is that although Mr. Potter did not attack Mrs. Norris, he obviously did not tell the truth completely." Snape's face became more proud, and then he looked at Dumbledore. "I think we can cancel his privileges and let him leave the Gryffindor Quidditch team until he calms down!"

"No, Severus, there is no evidence that Potter did anything wrong!" Professor McGonagall said sternly, protecting Harry like a calf.

"Yes, as long as there is no evidence to prove it, he is innocent, Severus!" Dumbledore was obviously on Professor McGonagall's side.

"But, my cat was petrified!" Filch shouted dissatisfied, "I hope someone will be punished!" After saying that, he looked at Harry fiercely, which clearly meant that he wanted to be punished. The man is Harry.

"Don't worry, Filch, we will cure it." Dumbledore persuaded patiently, "Mrs. Sprout got some mandrakes. When it grows up, we can cure it." Here comes Mrs. Norris’s potion.”

"Well, I would like to say that I am very happy to prepare the Mandrake Restoration Potion -" Lockhart began to take over the work again at this time, "I have prepared it more than 100 times. I can prepare it while dreaming."

"Hmph -" Snape's cold snort came just in time, interrupting Lockhart, "I think I am the Potions Professor at Hogwarts!"

For a moment, Lockhart froze in embarrassment, and Eisen almost laughed.

"You can go." Dumbledore said to Harry and the three of them. As if they were granted amnesty, the three of them hurriedly left Lockhart's office and even started running at one point.

"Professor Eisen, what do you think of this matter?" After the trio left, Dumbledore began to ask Eisen's opinion.

"I was wondering if the Chamber of Secrets was opened. Is the Chamber of Secrets left by Salazar Slytherin? Well, I have heard about this legend in Hogwarts." Eisen nodded. , said his opinion slowly, "Well, it is said that the four founders of Hogwarts had differences after they founded Hogwarts for a while.

Slytherin believes that students should be more picky when selecting students, and only choose students from pure wizarding families and not accept Muggle students.For this reason, he had a violent quarrel with Gryffindor and then left the school.

It is said that before Slytherin left Hogwarts, he built a chamber of secrets in the castle and sealed it so that no one could open it.Until his true heir appears, he will open the secret room, release the horrible things in the secret room, and eliminate all those who are not worthy of learning magic. "

"However, this is just a legend about the Chamber of Secrets. There has never been any evidence to prove its existence!" Professor McGonagall said in a dry tone and looked at Dumbledore as if he was asking something.

"Yes, I think you still need to distinguish what is reliable history and what is legend, Professor Eisen!" Snape said strangely, obviously not liking Eisen very much.

"Okay, I think we need to search the entire castle next to see if there are any clues." Dumbledore shook his head slightly and did not express his own opinion on the legend of the Chamber of Secrets.

"Wow, are you going to explore the secrets of Hogwarts Castle again?" Lockhart's face shone with light, "Believe me, I explored many secret passages when I was studying in Ravenclaw. I will definitely We will find the secret room!"

Eisen said he did not want to comment on Lockhart's inexplicable self-confidence.
