"Suffer it!"
Hearing his own voice from the previous timeline coming from the castle, Rosie felt something was wrong and immediately grabbed Myrtle's arm and walked back.
So annoying! This time change, nothing changed!
As if she felt something, Myrtle, who was being pulled by her, stopped struggling. She wiped the tears on her face with her free arm and asked doubtfully:
"What happened?"
Seeing that Rossi didn't pay attention to her, Myrtle grabbed her arm and asked in a voice that was still a little choked:
"What happened? Why did you..."
When her eyes noticed the gold chain around Rosie's neck, her voice suddenly became surprised: "You are wearing a time turner? You used a time turner?"
Um? Did she see it?
After touching the timer hidden in his clothes, and then touching the gold chain around his neck, Rossi stopped and asked doubtfully:
"How do you know this is a time turner? You can recognize it just by looking at the chain?"
"Of course, I am a knowledgeable Ravenclaw!"
Forgetting her sadness just now, Myrtle raised her chin proudly.
But after being stared at by Rossi's scorching eyes for a few seconds, she couldn't help but lower her voice and explain:
“After the semester started this year, there was a conflict in the class time of my elective courses, so the dean gave me a time converter.
Later, I felt that it was too tiring, so I applied to cancel the Muggle Studies course and gave it back. "
Seeing Rossi nodding with a confused expression, Myrtle asked again: "By the way, what happened? Why did you use the time turner?"
"well!"
With a sigh, Rosie, who pulled her forward slowly, briefly told what happened.
…
"What?!!"
After listening to her story, Myrtle looked in disbelief and asked in a shrill voice, "How could this happen? Isn't it too coincidental? There are so many professors here, don't any of them react? ?Don’t try to lie to me!”
"I think it's weird too, but that's the fact. They were petrified or killed by Grace's gaze at the first moment." Rossi spread his hands helplessly.
Seeing her mention an unfamiliar name again, Myrtle couldn't help but raise her eyes in surprise: "Grace?"
"Oh, Grace is the basilisk kept by Salazar Slytherin in the Chamber of Secrets. Her nature is actually very kind!"
"Basilisk? Kind? Didn't you say she killed many people? And you said she was kind?" Myrtle asked in disbelief.
"That was definitely not her intention. Tom must have used chicken blood to make her lose her mind."
Sticking to the outer wall of the castle and quietly approaching the gate, Rosie explained to her in a low voice the setting that the basilisk would go into a rage due to chicken blood, while secretly listening to what was going on inside.
“…The password for the principal’s office is: Lake.”
"okay, I get it!"
Hearing this conversation, Myrtle looked at Rosie suspiciously: "Isn't this the principal's voice? Didn't you say he was dead?"
"That's when I summoned Dippet's ghost."
While talking, Rosie, who was standing by the door, peeked inside and saw a figure in a red dress disappearing hurriedly around the corner of the marble staircase. It was herself at this time.
"Pamela, Melinda!"
Myrtle jumped out from behind Rosie, crossed the threshold and entered the foyer, "Someone said that in the auditorium..."
She suddenly closed her mouth and her body shook uncontrollably.
"Is it true? Is what she said true?"
But it was she who saw the body of the boy lying at the door of the auditorium.
Hi! I said so much, but it turned out that she didn't believe me at all.
Rosie muttered depressedly, knowing that she would not go down to the first floor again at this time, so she followed into the foyer.
"Myrtle? Are you okay?!"
Greengrass first shouted in surprise, and soon saw Rosie walking in behind Myrtle. He glanced at the stairs in surprise, and then turned to look at her again, "Rosie? Why are you here? What are you doing here?" Time for the time turner?"
Rossi pulled out the time turner from his neck and said bitterly: "I got it, but I couldn't prevent this tragedy."
He turned to look at Tom who was unconscious on the side: "I can't kill him. The period of time was worn away before the spell took effect."
"Time is worn away?" Greengrass, who is just a student, obviously does not understand the meaning of this sentence. "Can't even the time turner change this tragedy?"
Hearing this, the younger children suddenly started crying anxiously.
Cry, what's the use of crying!
Disturbed by their cries, Rosie wanted to stop, but she changed her mind and endured it.
What a troublesome kid.
Comforting in a soft tone: "Okay, don't worry! I will find a way!"
"What else can you do?" Greengrass asked, wiping his tears as he cried with his classmates.
The sobbing Myrtle suppressed her sadness and stared at Rosie without blinking: "What are you going to do? Use the time turner again?"
At this time, the "dong dong dong" sound of impact in the auditorium disappeared.
Is Grace's rage lifted? ! !
Hearing the change of voices in the auditorium, Rosie, who had planned to find an excuse to temporarily appease the children, suddenly lit up:
"I need to use a time turner, but I have to find someone to ask first!"
With that said, she stepped up the stairs and walked to the second floor.
"Wait for us, we are with you!" Greengrass's people followed up the stairs, seeming to want to go with them.
with me? Then shouldn’t I have to take care of you?
While her thoughts were spinning, Rossi pressed the handrail of the stairs and looked back and asked, "I'm going to find the basilisk, will you go too?"
Upon hearing this, all the students were immediately frightened and backed away.
Yeah! Just stay here and wait for me to save you.
With a silent mutter, Rosie quickly walked upstairs.
Above the Great Hall of Hogwarts is the library on the second floor, which Rossi is naturally familiar with.
At this time, the door of the library was open, and the emerald-green tail of Grace, in the form of a basilisk, was still paralyzed by the door.
Just as he was about to walk into the library, he heard footsteps coming from behind.
Looking back, it was Myrtle who still had tears on her face.
"Why did you come here?" Rossi asked in surprise, "Aren't you afraid?"
Looking at the huge snake tail, Myrtle said timidly:
"Didn't you say that she is very kind? I will follow you. If you accidentally have an accident, I can still retrieve the time..."
Seeing Rossi's speechless expression, she wisely closed her mouth.
Forget it, just follow.
Rossi sighed helplessly and walked quickly inside.
The library was also in a mess. The floor was full of holes. The bookshelves that had been standing tall had fallen to the ground. Some of the strange magic books with the ability to move were scattered all over the floor. They were running, and some were flying randomly.
Grace's snake head was stuck under several pieces of floorboards that fell one after another. At this time, she was motionless, probably in a coma.
