Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Since our conversation before school started, you knew that Voldemort was still alive.

And learned that he could enter Hogwarts through some means.

That's why you set up an alarm here.

Just to prevent Voldemort from entering Hogwarts and opening the Chamber of Secrets?

Oh, by the way, I guess your test for lower grades is also about imitating a basilisk.

But how can you be so sure that Voldemort will appear in the castle and release the basilisk...

After all, it was because of the Philosopher’s Stone last year, so I don’t think the basilisk can give him immortality…”

Douglas found Dumbledore's gaze behind his half-moon glasses a little glaring.

Although Douglas thought of something funny at this moment, he still didn't dare to think too much about it.

“Actually, I don’t know…

You know, there are so many rumors about the Defense Against the Dark Arts position...

Since I was appointed, I have been trying to ensure that I can stay in this position for a long time, at least to avoid any accidents...

So, I took some small precautions against any possible dangers...

Especially the entrance to this secret room, after all, it's too close to my office...

As for that teaching, it was purely a momentary inspiration…”

Hear what Douglas said.

Dumbledore coughed awkwardly.

Professor McGonagall looked as if she didn't know what to say to you.

Snape, who was checking the entrance, also sneered in disdain.

But then they noticed Douglas's serious expression:

“Actually, I didn’t put any detection devices here at first.

Until one day, rumors started circulating around campus that I had released that monster...

I know I didn't release any monsters into the castle, but I'm not sure if it was a basilisk...

So just in case, an early warning device was set up here...

Apparently, my guess was correct...

Especially tonight, Hagrid said that his chickens were killed twice, which happened to correspond to the previous one.

'The only thing that can make a basilisk run away is the crowing of a rooster, as this is fatal to the basilisk.'

Therefore, I concluded that this was definitely not some clever student who simply discovered the secret of the secret room...

It could be Voldemort himself or one of his followers, or perhaps a descendant of Slytherin..."

After hearing what Douglas said, the other people's faces looked a little unhappy.

Chapter 96 My last name is Holmes, but I am not Sherlock Holmes

Professor McGonagall asked:

"Douglas, what should we do now?

I mean, do you have any other plans...?"

Douglas nodded and signaled them to step back...

All they saw was him pointing his wand at the floor.

Then some footprints marked by magic appeared on the ground.

Douglas took a look and then erased some of the footprints.

Finally, a set of footprints was left, extending all the way to the window.

Seeing this, Douglas couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

His biggest worry was that Voldemort would bring someone into the Chamber of Secrets.

Then he would have to make up another lie and say that Harry Potter was a Parseltongue.

Then everyone entered the secret room together to kill monsters.

But it was obvious that the other party was very smart.

He actually chose to jump out of the window and escape.

No wonder I didn't find any trace when I came here.

Unfortunately, he didn't bring the Marauder's Map with him.

Of course, even if I brought it, I wouldn't take it out at this time...

He didn't want to close off the gifts that the plunderers had given to the Hogwarts students because of his own reasons.

Douglas followed the footprints to the window and looked down.

Of course, nothing was found.

He explained to several people:

"A small trace detection spell that can detect various traces that appear in a place over a period of time.

Fortunately, this bathroom is rarely used.

Only then can the footprint be easily extracted.

Judging by the direction and size of the footprints,

The other party should be a teenage student, and when the alarm was triggered,

For some reason, the other party did not choose to open the secret room, but escaped by jumping out the window..."

The other three saw Douglas casually take out a piece of parchment and use magic to make a copy of the footprint on the parchment.

Then, like everyone else, he just stared at each other.

Professor McGonagall asked doubtfully:

"Then what?

Who is that child?

Why don't you say anything? "

Douglas shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly:

“My last name is Holmes, but I’m not Sherlock Holmes.

That's all the information you can get.

As for who that person is, is he the heir of Slytherin or a follower sent by Voldemort?

It depends on who did not attend the Halloween dinner from beginning to end tonight, or left or joined in the middle.

Then find them out and compare them one by one with this footprint.

It always gives us a range…”

They obviously didn't understand Holmes's joke.

But I still understood why Douglas asked the students not to leave the auditorium.

It's not just for the safety of students, it now seems to have other functions.

Then the four of them began to set up various detection and trap magic in this bathroom.

And cast a ghost banishing spell.

Dumbledore said with emotion:

“It seems that Miss Moaning Myrtle will have to change her living place temporarily.

and......

Douglas, I'm really glad you found this...

If you can catch that guy, I'm sure Hagrid will thank you."

Douglas showed an appropriate look of doubt.

Dumbledore saw this but didn't offer any explanation.

Then they returned to the auditorium.

No one knew what was happening.

The four people did not explain to everyone,

Only Professor McGonagall called the other two deans aside and explained what had happened.

Then, in everyone's surprised eyes,

The four deans arranged the prefects of their respective colleges.

Count the people who did not attend the party from the beginning.

Those who join or leave the party during the process should also be counted.

Snape's face had been terribly gloomy since he came back from the bathroom.

Not only because the people involved in this incident are likely to be from Slytherin House.

After all, no matter what form,

Apart from Slytherin, he couldn't think of any other students from any other college who could open Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

Even Voldemort would certainly not be willing to share Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets with other houses.

Moreover, he noticed that Harry Potter was not at the party...

Just as Dumbledore and his companions returned to the Great Hall.

Ravenclaw Tower.

Boys dormitory.

Tom Cruise angrily wrote in his diary:

“What on earth did you do?

Why am I still in the dorm at this hour...

You actually controlled me again!

It’s been so long… why?”

A simple sentence appeared in the diary:

“Don’t worry about what I did.

Just know that Dumbledore and that damn Muggle professor will find you soon.

When they find you, the only thing they'll do is send you to Azkaban.

It's a prison guarded by Dementors. With your abilities, you probably won't survive more than three days there...

If you want to live, do as I say."

Tom Cruise now regrets very much why he did not hand over the diary after discovering the abnormality.

At first, he was indeed wary of Tom Riddle.

Occasionally, they would ask each other questions, but they were always cautious and brief.

But after a long time, he found that the other party always answered his questions patiently.

And I never asked myself to do anything, nor did I do anything else, so I slowly let my guard down...

Now he just felt very scared. He had heard about the prison on a small island in the middle of the North Sea, where many Death Eaters were imprisoned.

He didn't know what Tom Riddle had done.

But it is definitely not a good thing to alarm the headmaster and the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
