In fact, Professor Snape returned to the Headmaster's office before lunch began.
The same few people were still there, Professor McGonagall was talking to Principal Dumbledore, and saw Professor Snape coming in and looking at him solicitously.
Professor Snape walked to the table with a sullen face and slapped his hand on the table: "It's not him!"
Principal Dumbledore didn't pay attention to Professor Snape's actions. He slowly smacked the candy in his mouth and said, "I don't think so either."
Professor Snape: "..."
Professor Snape: "???"
Professor Snape: "!!!"
The professor had already raised his hand as if he was planning to pull his sleeve, but Professor McGonagall directly held his shoulder soothingly: "Severus, tell me, what did you find?"
Professor Snape glanced at the table with gritted teeth, and finally put down his hand: "I only found traces of the basilisk."
In other words, there were no traces of Voldemort.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for them to judge who did it based on the battlefield after the war, but that person was different. He had always been loyal to leaving his own traces wherever he passed, blatant traces of his magic power. This was one of the reasons why they were able to recognize the traces in the Forbidden Forest last year. But that was not what happened last night. Snape walked around there for a long time, but only found traces of the Basilisk and the Phoenix. In addition, there were no familiar traces of the Unforgivable Curse at the scene. Snape felt that it was not that person. .
"It's Lemon." Principal Dumbledore finally revealed who he met last night. "But it's strange, Severus. When he lifted up the cloak, it was Tom's face."
Dumbledore was indeed startled at first, but soon realized something was wrong.
He knew that even Polyjuice Potion could not recreate that face, that face of a young, student-era person, not to mention that the person was clearly "Lemon" at the beginning. Why? It's impossible to take off the cloak and transform into a younger person.
Then he thought of the weird aperture he saw: "That should be the effect of magic."
He looked at Professor Babling who wanted to bury his head in the book: "Bathcida, have you discovered anything?"
Professor Babuling raised her head and took off her thick glasses: "I'm sorry, Professor."
She rubbed her forehead: "Things are much trickier than we thought."
The three of them were quietly waiting for her next step.
"In the memory of the pensieve, those runes have been blurred."
From the pensieve, the memory of the magic circle became extremely blurry, and only a blurry light path could be seen. Professor Babuling deduced for a long time before barely recognizing a few runes, but discovered the effect of these runes. It is the culprit that caused the entire magic circle to blur.
The origin of the ancient magic text was originally [divine text], which is said to be very powerful in itself, but it needs to be arranged correctly. The specific effects of these magic texts that have been inherited to this day have been almost lost. Only some alchemy masters will occasionally use some of the remaining magic text sequences. More wizards will only regard these magic texts as ancient texts and ignore them.
And now Dumbledore suspected that "Lemon" would use the power of those magic words, so he allowed himself to see that scene.
Professor Babling closed the book: "Theoretically, this is indeed feasible. But professor, this means that the mysterious wizard probably has a complete set of magic text sequences in his hand."
Professor Snape frowned: "It is said that he is a master of alchemy."
"Master Alchemist..." Principal Dumbledore chewed on the word, and suddenly remembered the strange feeling in his heart when he saw that face. It was a feeling similar to that of looking into the Mirror of Erised, an uncomfortable feeling as if one was being watched inside.
…
Because the Care of Magical Creatures class was also temporarily canceled, Noah had no class in the afternoon and simply made up for his sleep in the dormitory.
Warrington woke him up during dinner, and the four of them went to the restaurant together.
Last night's incident caused quite a stir, and it was raised to another level due to the cancellation of the Care of Magical Creatures class.
The wizards all suspected that the monster in the secret room had hid in the Forbidden Forest and started fighting with something in the Forbidden Forest.
The little wizards were very curious about the magical creatures that "battled" in the Forbidden Forest, and made various speculations. Naturally, the results of their speculations unanimously concluded that the creatures in the Forbidden Forest had won.
"Noah, what do you think?" Montague asked in a buzzing voice.
"Who knows." Noah responded vaguely.
"Aren't you curious?" Morgan couldn't help but interrupt the topic.
Noah glanced at him: "The one last night might have been a ptarmigan."
Morgan was stunned for a moment and couldn't follow Noah's topic: "What?"
No, why did you suddenly come to a conclusion?
Noah stirred the soup in the bowl: "Is there a Quidditch match tomorrow?"
His topic jumped a bit tonight, and Warrington, who had not interrupted the topic until now, caught up with his question: "Ah, it was originally available, but I received a notice in the afternoon that it needs to be postponed for two weeks."
I heard it because of what happened last night.
Warrington and the others also guessed the reason: "What happened last night seems to be no small matter."
He glanced at Noah's long table and gave Noah a look.
There were obviously some people missing from the Slytherin table, including Draco and Eve.
Noah didn't pay much attention at first, but Warrington reminded him that this was obviously an unusual thing.
You won't cause trouble for Principal Dumbledore again...
Noah thought it was very possible, because this was not the first time this happened, but the parents maintained a rather strange attitude during this incident, probably because of Voldemort.
Those people knew from the beginning who the person who opened the secret room was.
…
At night, Noah left a phantom behind, quietly left the school through the secret passage, and returned to his castle again.
Noah admitted that this was a bit risky, but he couldn't restrain his curiosity and wanted to have a good communication with the basilisk. He had a hunch that he could get answers to some of his curiosities from the basilisk.
The alchemy doll informed the Basilisk's movements. At the moment, the Basilisk was staying in a room, which was supposed to be Slytherin's dormitory.
Noah didn't touch the room that was no longer occupied. He just asked the alchemy doll to clean it. The basilisk recognized the original owner and stayed in it all day.
When Noah knocked on the door and pushed it open, the basilisk stretched its tail out of the window and its upper body entangled itself in the room, almost occupying the entire floor.
As for Noah's entry, the basilisk didn't even look at him.
Out of caution, Noah closed his eyes, and by the way, he wrapped a piece of shadow cloth around Keya's eyes and tied a knot.
Koadam said an impromptu greeting to the basilisk.
