Harry looked bewildered, "What happened? Why are you just getting back now?"
Draco quickly pulled up a chair and sat down, whispering, "After the feast, I went to the toilet. When I came out, I heard a lot of noise upstairs.
I immediately felt that something was wrong, so I quickly ran upstairs, and guess what I saw?"
As he spoke, he took another breath.
Harry looked at him, "Hmm... you saw a Troll?"
Draco immediately recalled Harry's experience last Halloween, and suddenly felt that what happened today was not as grand. He laughed dryly, "Potter... you really do have a sense of humor..."
With that, he gave up the idea of hiding anything and quickly spilled everything he had seen upstairs.
At the same time, several more Slytherin students returned to the common room after him. Before long, the Chamber of Secrets incident was known to everyone.
"How boring..." MacChlery shook his head, "The Chamber of Secrets rumors come out once or twice every two years. It's usually someone doing it on purpose.
Either Slytherin students are playing pranks, or students from other houses want to deliberately annoy Slytherin. But... is that cat really dead?"
"Probably... I only know that when I saw Professor Jones and Dumbledore, their faces didn't look good. If that cat had only been hit by some minor Curse, they definitely wouldn't have had that expression."
Draco quickly used Howl and Dumbledore to add credibility to his words.
If it really was a prank, his excited rush in just now would make him a laughingstock.
It was like thinking something huge had happened, only to realize that in others' eyes, it was already commonplace.
At this moment, his mind worked much faster.
"Alright, it looks like this incident will cause quite a stir, like the one fifty years ago..." MacChlery said.
His words immediately piqued their curiosity, and Draco quickly pressed for more information.
"The last rumor about the Chamber of Secrets was when I was in my first year. So I heard about it then. As I just said, the Chamber of Secrets story circulates every few years, but the one fifty years ago, people actually died!"
"Oh, what was the truth?" Draco asked, like he was listening to a ghost story, both scared and anticipating.
MacChlery snorted, "I don't know. I and the others even went to ask Myrtle at the time, but she just kept crying."
After saying that, he added, "I hate it when things aren't clear and people just cry. So I stopped caring about it later."
"Myrtle? The ghost on the second floor?"
MacChlery nodded, "That's right, she was the one who died then."
"Forget it, let's not worry about this," Garrd waved his hand. "Potter, then the matter we just discussed, I'll leave it to you."
Harry nodded, "I'll go find my friend. She should be able to contact a bookstore in the Muggle world... Hmm, she should."
Harry couldn't guarantee it, after all, owls have their limits, and it would also trouble Hermione.
Garrd and the others stood up, looking at Harry teasingly.
"Ah ha ~ she ~"
Harry looked at them helplessly, feeling very awkward. He didn't know how to respond to such remarks.
The next day, rumors about the Chamber of Secrets spread throughout the entire school. As Harry passed the second floor, he suddenly remembered that Myrtle's territory was also here, and she was a victim of an accident fifty years ago...
Thinking this, he turned and wanted to take a look.
However, just two steps closer, a grotesque figure leaped out from behind a corner door.
"It's you, what are you doing here?! I caught you!"
Harry stood still, looking expressionlessly at Filch's crazed appearance. The few remaining hairs on his already balding head were no longer meticulously styled, his eye sockets were sunken, his eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze towards Harry was full of hatred.
However, Harry's gaze made Filch feel a little intimidated.
