Chapter 47
Chapter 47-The Third Person
Girls’ bathroom on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle.
This bathroom has been in disrepair for a long time and has long been abandoned.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione hid in the back of the bathroom, with a steaming cauldron in front of them.
Hermione cautiously opened a copy of “Powerful Potion”, and the three of them leaned forward, looking at the watermarked paper industry.
The effects of some of the potions inside are terrible. It is unbelievable. There are also some uncomfortable illustrations in the book: a person seems to be turned from the inside out, and a witch’s head appears. Many pairs of arms came out.
Hermione’s little face was full of seriousness, and she flipped the pages quickly, finally finding her goal.
On that page, several people were changing into other people, with extremely pained expressions on their faces.
“This is the most complicated potion I have ever seen.”
Hermione murmured, and counted the potion materials around him, “Lacewing insects, locusts, sapweed, two-eared grass…I have it. The horns of the powdered double-horned beast, the snake skin of the African snake tree Fragment… there is. Snape is really rich.”
“Something on the person who wants to change…If Crabbe’s toenails are in it, I would never drink…”
Ron leaned close to her, looking at the next condition, and said disgustedly.
“Hair should be enough, right?”
Harry imagined the scene for a moment, with goose bumps all over his body, and hesitated.
“almost.”
Hermione propped her chin with her right hand and thought, “The lily grass will be picked on the day of the full moon, and the lacewing will last for 20 days… If you can get the ingredients, you can get it out in a month… Ah!”
Just as she was talking, a loud noise suddenly came from outside, which shocked her, and the book in her hand hit the floor.
Harry and Ron shook together, and suddenly realized that they were still in the girls’ bathroom, and their faces changed.
If someone comes in and sees them…
The consequences could be disastrous.
Harry and Ron glanced at each other, gathered courage, and tiptoed to the bathroom door, poking out their heads carefully, only to see a puff of black smoke passing by.
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, The next moment, a figure rushed out of the bathroom.
The person’s breathing was a bit disordered, and the usual meticulous wizard’s robe showed a lot of wrinkles, and even some places showed a certain degree of cracks and burns.
Harry and Ron were not unfamiliar with this person, and it was Ulysses who had had several connections.
The mask on Ulysses’s face was accidentally knocked off during the ascending process in the pipe, revealing his true colors. He looked at the empty bathroom in annoyance, thinking that he still took a step slower, and he escaped.
He turned his head inadvertently, his gaze meeting the stunned gazes of Harry and Ron.
“Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, you… why are you here?”
Ulysses blinked and asked suspiciously.
Harry and Ron really wanted to ask you why you were here and you came out of it, but when they wanted to speak, Hermione’s voice came from the bathroom:
“Harry, Ron, what happened?”
Hermione’s head with fluffy brown hair poked out, and was stunned when she saw Ulysses.
“Grange Miss?”
Ulysses recalled it for a while before remembering that they were making compound decoctions here in the original book, with a trace of clarity in his eyes, “Then I won’t bother you. It’s better to find a safe place for such hidden things. , It’s dangerous here.”
After speaking, he left in a hurry, leaving behind three people who still didn’t know the situation.
“What did he mean by…?”
Hermione said in a daze, and suddenly looked back at the bathroom, and remembered the suddenly enlightened expression on Ulysses’s face, her face flushed instantly, “Damn it, did he misunderstand something?”
Harry and Ron were relieved and said at the same time, “He also came out of the girls’ bathroom, so we are safe.”
Hermione glanced at the two boys who were not on the same channel, and went back angrily to continue making the compound soup.
After Ulysses left, he carefully searched the corridors, trying to find the traces left by the black-robed wizard. But the latter is worthy of being a person who can hide in Hogwarts, leaving no flaws, so Ulysses can only sigh and return without success.
After finding no clues, Ulysses immediately returned to the secret room along the secret path told by Pepy Ghost.
The secret room entrance in the bathroom closed suddenly after he rushed out, reverting to the shape of a faucet.
However, after stepping into the secret room again, Ulysses’ face suddenly became serious, and the wand quickly appeared in his hand.
The basilisk was gone, leaving only a shocking pool of green blood. The scent of life and death water in the air is a bit dissipated, and it is no longer so suffocating.
The room was in a mess, with gravel, cracks, and burn marks everywhere, showing the intensity of the aftermath of the duel.
The Slytherin statue was the same as before, and it seemed that it hadn’t been affected at all. On the wall behind the statue, the magic pattern engraved by Ulysses has been destroyed.
Ulysses’ face became cold, and he had no idea of patching up the magic pattern on the wall. Not to mention that the remaining magic lines will interfere with the new magic lines, and the effect of refilling them is far not as good as the first time.
‘Damn…Did the basilisk leave by himself or was taken away by someone? ’
Ulysses’ azure blue eyes scanned every corner of the secret room, and at last he suddenly raised his head, and found a trace of a loose stone brick on the ceiling.
‘Is it all for the big library…or is there another purpose? ’
Ulysses thought about it in his heart, and couldn’t help but complain about Slytherin. If you want to repair the secret room, you can repair it. Now, like a sieve, if there is also a secret path on the ceiling, then there will be three secret paths leading to it.
He glanced at the ceiling and had no plans to go up and search. He did his best to fight the black-robed wizard, and if there were any emergencies, he would not be able to cope.
Leaving the secret room, Ulysses recalled the matchup, analyzing the gains and losses.
There was nothing to lose. There was only a slight risk of revealing his identity. Ulysses was already careful enough to not show his face or make a sound. Ulysses couldn’t help it if it was all recognized.
There was very little income, and the black-robed wizard was not left behind, only a result was confirmed.
In addition to Ulysses, there was more than one person who had planned on the secret room.
After going to the auditorium to settle lunch, Ulysses returned to the Slytherin common room, where the students were excitedly discussing the duel club at 8 o’clock tonight, and no one noticed him.
Ulysses quietly returned to the dormitory. As soon as he entered the door, he saw roommate Anderson sitting in a chair, his face was not very good, and standing in front of him was a house elf who almost bent his waist to the ground.
“what happened?”
Ulysses asked casually, taking off the wizard’s robe and hanging it on the hanger.
“There is a clue about my Little Sister being poisoned.”
