Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 272 Strange Classroom
Harry wanted to ask Ginny the same question, why was she here?

And Luna, what happened to these two people?

Before Harry could speak, Ron preempted him. He walked up to Ginny in three or two steps, and looked at her over and over again.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Ginny said dissatisfied.

Ron was a little nervous, even panicked.

"Shouldn't you—"

At that moment, Harry, Hermione, and Cedric all realized that Ron was going to ask something - it could only be the devil.

Since Cedric appeared in this classroom because of the devil's call, does this mean that Ginny and Luna also learned about the devil?
"Wait a moment!"

Cedric quickly interrupted Ron's question: "These are two different things, don't—don't say it!"

It seems that Ginny and Luna did not appear in the classroom because of the devil, otherwise Cedric would not ask Ron to continue to keep it a secret-the less people know about this matter, the better.

Ron finally breathed a sigh of relief. He already knew that the devil is not kind magic. Of course, he hoped that Ginny would stay away from this type of magic. Otherwise, if Mrs. Weasley knew about it, it is estimated that the magic circle sweater The reprimand is about to actually happen.

"What can't be said?" Ginny asked suspiciously.

At this time, it was Cedric who stopped again: "Have you forgotten the rules in this classroom? You must never ask others why they are here without authorization, otherwise you will be kicked out."

This is kind of novel.

"Who made this rule?" Hermione asked curiously: "Also, who is the professor who will teach you later? Are they all Professor Highmore?"

"The former one is." Cedric said: "The person who set the rules for us is Professor Haimer, but the latter question-it's not sure yet, we have to wait until the class to find out."

This gets even more novel.

The trio had never known such a special classroom existed, and it seemed like it had been for a long time.

When he heard that he couldn't just ask others why they came here, Ron stared straight at Ginny.

"You should have told me," he said.

"Why?" Ginny said rebelliously, "Do you want to defy Professor Highmore?"

"Of course not." Ron frowned and said, "But it's different after you leave the classroom. The rules only work here, don't they? Don't let mom and dad worry about you anymore."

"What you said seems to be my fault." Ginny immediately quarreled with Ron: "Well, I can tell you now-I don't know why I'm here, is it okay?"

Ron had disbelief written all over his face, and he turned to look at Cedric, but Cedric had always followed the rules honestly, let alone knowing why Ginny appeared in the classroom.

Ron turned his head to Luna again, just in time to see her writing in his notebook: "Ginny's brother is here today."

Soon, a line of reply text appeared on the notebook.

【who is it?Those funny twins?Or a serious prefect? 】

"Neither. Ginny's least distinctive brother, except for the red hair—"

"Hey!" Ron exclaimed dissatisfied, "What do you mean red hair? Am I not a Weasley without hair?"

Luna raised her head and stared at Ron with misty eyes, making him uncomfortable.

Later, Luna bowed her head again and wrote: "There are still freckles, and the nose is covered with freckles."

"It'll go away," said Ron, holding his nose, his voice muffled.

Hermione came up and said, "That would be the best, now I don't know how to make my front teeth smaller - what are you writing, can I see it too?"

Meanwhile, Harry was asking Cedric a question.

"This classroom seems to be very secretive. Is it really okay for you to bring us here like this? Will it violate other rules or something?"

"Don't worry." Cedric said with a smile: "It might not work if it is someone else, but if it is you, it will be fine."

"Because of the devil too?" Harry asked in a low voice, the only reason he could think of.

"That's right." Cedric also lowered his voice and said, "That has a very important connection with a course, and you will know it in a while."

What could it be?

Harry thought incomprehensibly.

Now it's not just about trying to figure out why Cedric learned the devil's divination, but Ginny and Luna, two people who had nothing to do with each other before, are also there.

This is really strange.

Cedric found a seat and sat down, and Harry followed him.Before long, Hermione and Ron were sitting next to them.

After waiting in silence for a while, Harry found that no other students had come in besides them, which made him even more curious about such a special class.

until
"Merlin."

Ron exclaimed, he immediately raised his arm and pointed in the direction of the gate, "Look, who is that?"

Harry had never expected such a thing to happen - the ghost of Slytherin house, the bloody Baron floating in through the door, the constant blood on the witch robes, and the heavy-looking pair The shackles have not been taken off until now.

Although they had been prepared for a long time, Barrow's appearance still made them speechless in shock.

Even more amazing was what Barrow told the classroom.

"Soul." He stood behind the podium and said in a low voice: "In this class, let's talk about soul."

This is why Cedric learned the devil's divination?

It is worth mentioning that after Barrow entered the classroom, he just glanced at the three extra students and didn't say anything.

It's as if he doesn't care who the lecturer is.

And in fact, that's exactly what he did.

Barrow simply omitted the specific content of what he was going to talk about today, and he just asked: "Since the end of the last class until now, do you have any questions?"

Ginny and Luna shook their heads together, but Cedric raised his arms high.

"Hurry up." At the same time, Cedric still touched Harry with his arm under the table and said, "Isn't that why you came to ask me for help? Now someone who can really help you has appeared, hurry up hand."

Harry hastily raised his hands, even now he still felt that he was in a hallucination, all of which seemed so unreal—the ghosts of Slytherin House were teaching them?

Are you kidding me?
"Those who raised their hands stay." Harry said after seeing Barrow glance around, "The rest can go back."

"Huh?" Ron subconsciously made a sound in surprise, not to mention Hermione. She was planning to listen carefully to what Barrow would tell them, but she didn't expect it to end before it even started.

"You can't treat him like an ordinary professor." Cedric reminded him from a distance, "If you want me to say, you should go first, there should still be opportunities in the future."

This didn't satisfy Hermione, but Barrow's gaze made her unable to stay here any longer, so she could only reluctantly leave with Ginny and Luna.

"Hey, wait for me." Ron also stood up and said, he really didn't want to stay in the same room with Barrow, and it was not easy to persist until now.

After a while, there were only two students and a ghost left in the room.

Barrow stared at them with straight eyes, and the atmosphere became tense. Harry regretted not going with Ron, but Cedric showed him a good example at this time—he seemed Knowing that now is the time to ask questions, he immediately asked, "How do you explain that badgers and unicorns appear in the same divination result?"

The question was a bit strange, but it immediately reminded Harry of what Cedric had said earlier - he didn't know that he had actually done a successful divination, because even he didn't understand what that prophecy meant what.

Now it seems that the badger and the unicorn are related to Cedric's divination.

Barrow didn't seem to need too much time to think about it, he quickly said in an unchanged tone: "This means danger and unpredictable consequences, but it can also get you unparalleled loyalty-unicorns have always been They are very loyal animals, but badgers are not so easy to mess with."

Cedric pondered Barrow's answer over and over again, and Harry looked at him enviously——From this explanation, Cedric's process of making an automatic casting wand may be difficult, but he should always get an order. satisfactory results.

There is also loyalty, which should refer to the loyalty of the wand to the wizard.

That's when Harry noticed Barrow looking at him, and he knew right away that it was time for him to ask a question.

"Excuse me, Professor—"

"I'm not your professor, just call me Mr."

"A lot, Mr. Barrow, how can I make the results of divination more accurate?"

Barrow stared at Harry for a long time, and it took a full five minutes before he answered: "Many wizards think that they can predict the future and get the only correct answer. But divination never has an answer, it's just part of the process. It didn't start , will not end."

After saying these words, Baro didn't even say hello, and left directly through the wall, looking as perfunctory as he could be.

But that wasn't right either, after all he had given Harry an answer.

process
Barrow's words had a profound impact on Harry, and made him realize that the way he had been using the devil's divination all along might be wrong, and he should try another way.

"It seems that you have gained a lot." Cedric said on the side.

"Yes." Harry whispered, "That's right," he suddenly asked, "Has Professor Highmore ever taught you here?"

"No." Cedric shook his head: "Not once."

"Who else is the Professor besides Barrow?" Harry asked again.

"You should have heard of her name." Cedric said: "Ms. Gray, she is the ghost of Ravenclaw College, and the content she talked about is also related to the soul, but again, the questions answered will not Any restrictions—and it's not just me, Luna and Ginny have noticed that—Ms Gray and Mr Barrow are never in the same class, they're always bypassed."

Harry received a lot of complicated information for a while, but he at least figured out one thing - besides Professor Binns, Hogwarts finally had other ghost professors, and there were two at a time.

Ghosts, plus Professor Hemer's collection of skeletons.

Death is really always by his side, never leaving him.

After saying goodbye to Cedric, Harry left the classroom.Ron and Hermione, who were expected to be waiting at the door, had long since disappeared, probably leaving with Luna and Ginny.

After thinking about it, he didn't rush back to the common room, but found an empty classroom on the third floor, and there was no one in it, so he hurried in, took out the clarinet from his pocket, hesitated stared at it decisively.

Prophecy is just part of the process, it has no beginning and it will not end.

and sirius
It occurred to Harry that maybe he shouldn't be divining Sirius directly, but seeing him as part of the process, which might go more smoothly.

But what process is the most appropriate?
Is it the story of Sirius?

Harry thought about the play.

After a brief moment of silence, he raised his clarinet and hissed.

A rune snake that looked like paint appeared immediately, with three heads staring at Harry.

"Okay," Harry said to himself, "let me think about the way devils do divination - first there had to be devils, now there are. Clarinets are no longer wands, devils have to be seen as real The scepter is the only way. What else is there? The process is very important, we should not only pursue the result, but try to divination the process."

"Okay," he repeated, "Okay, try it now."

In the ancient magic class, everyone has learned the common divination method, which is very simple, just need to touch the magic circle items three times.

This time, Harry didn't use such a simple method.

He kept saying things in Parseltongue, his way of manipulating the devil.At the same time, Harry moved his eyes to the head he didn't like the most - because it had the same lightning scar as Harry's, which was either from Voldemort's soul, or Harry's real dark side .He wants neither of these.

In Harry's eyes, the snake's head suddenly twitched sharply, as if it was suffering - this is what Harry imagined happened to Sirius - he was caught by Grindelwald's gang , being tortured every moment.

Maybe even turning him into a devil, who knows how much ancient magic Grindelwald knows, maybe even more powerful than Professor Haimo.

But at this moment, a change appeared.

The head with lightning scars suddenly regained its calm, and it could be seen that it had become very tired, and it seemed that it would fall asleep if it was not careful.

Harry couldn't hold on any longer, he gasped for breath, and the devil dispersed little by little.

But he already knew the outcome, or rather a feeling.

Sirius probably wasn't dead, or even caught by anyone.

But his life is doomed to be full of misery and suffering, and he is holding on to his last breath. Once he relaxes, there will be no possibility of persevering.

Another point is that this sign appeared on Lightning Scar's head.

so.
"As long as I'm alive, Sirius should be fine, he will be."

Harry said to himself.
