201 Rumors and truth

"Who can tell me where did this statement about Haeger being the murderer behind the scenes first spread?

While learning various and fighting skills in the Response Room on the weekend, Hermione took advantage of the break and asked the two ship ladies and her brother questions that had been circling in her mind for the past week.

"Although it may be a bit disrespectful to speak, based on the information about Slytherin I have seen in my history books, I don't think Hagrid is qualified to be his inheritor."

"If this matter is said, it will be a very long story. Are you sure you want to listen to it?" After hearing Hermione's question, Firefly and Hugo looked at each other and said to her.

"After the owl died, I specially asked someone to check the files from the Ministry of Magic, and found that the records in the archives showed that the monsters in the secret room were released nearly 50 years ago."

After seeing everyone nodding, Firefly told the story from 50 years ago to the three people in the room.

"In that attack, a Ravenclaw girl named Myrtle Elizabeth Warren was unfortunately killed in the bathroom. Hager was found to be the murderer and fired from Hogwarts."

"You mean someone died?" Hermione said with her eyes widened, "But I've checked the school information before, but these things have never been mentioned in the information."

"Actually, at the beginning, I wanted to check these files from the school, but like you, I couldn't find any records about this incident." Firefly shrugged. "Fortunately, Sister Hood finally found someone to get some information related to this from the Ministry of Magic."

"According to a file from the Ghost Office, a subsidiary of the Magical Biological Management Control Division, Myrtle Elizabeth Warren became a ghost after his death and kept harassing Oliff Hombel. The problem was not solved until they came forward to warn him."

"After discovering that the date and name match, Sister Hood checked the public information of other departments of the Ministry of Magic, and then found a file about canceling the memory of the Muggle Warren's daughter in the records of the occasional reversal group that year.

"Through the scattered content recorded in the archives, we can finally roughly restore the time you were? What happened in the monster attack."

"I can understand why this news can be circulated now. After all, with the lifespan of wizards, there should be a large number of people who have experienced that attack until now."

"So theoretically, when their grandchildren told them what happened in the school, these old people had a high probability of telling the children about what happened that year, and then the whole castle that spreads the news was spreading."

"Is this true that the Warrens' memories are cancelled?" After listening to the Firefly's narration, Hermione immediately grabbed one of the questions she was concerned about and asked.

"That's it, the Warrens forgot that they had a daughter who was unfortunately killed after going to the wizarding school, as if she had never appeared before?"

"It is true. According to the records in the archives, this practice is to prevent those Muggles from venting their anger on the magical world after their loved ones die, and then exposing the existence of the magical world." Firefly shook his head and said.

"At least I think that it is inevitable to damage some people's interests relative to the security of the entire magic world. However, it is really bad to give only 300 Gallon compensation as recorded in the archives."

The purchasing power of currency in the wizard world is much more stable than that in the ordinary world. Therefore, after Myrtle's death, the compensation given to them by the wizard world is converted into today's purchasing power, which is equivalent to about 1,500 pounds.

Obviously, the price is too cheap for a life. But according to the standards that the Ministry of Magic has not changed for hundreds of years, this is the only compensation for a wizard from a Macao family who died unexpectedly at school.

Everyone gathered together to criticize the Ministry of Magic for a long time, but this criticism was only based on the same identity as a wizard.

Because they all knew that their current identity could not change anything. After venting their emotions for a while, Hermione, who had calmed down, suddenly said as if she had thought of something:

"By the way, since Miss Warren has become a ghost, we can ask her what the monster in the secret room is. But where should we find her now--"

"Myritan is not a common name, and ghosts often only linger in the place where the deepest memory of them during their lifetime, then-"

"She is the ghost in the first floor girl's bathroom, the crying Myrtle." Before the fireflies could close their hands, Hermione guessed the identity of the ghost.

Hermione couldn't sit still, so she quickly convinced Veneto and Firefly to go to the first floor to find the crying Myrtle, while Hugo was left in the room for the request because he was a boy waiting for news.

More than twenty minutes later, the door of the room for requests opened, and Hermione walked in from outside with a frustration.

"Didn't you find out the news?" Hugo, who was deducing a certain knowledge point in ancient Runewen on parchment, asked without overdoing it. "Is Myrtle no today?"

"No, Myrtle is here, and we also asked the answer to the question we wanted to ask." Hermione walked to the pad and sat down, and said. "But the conclusions we got didn't help much."

"According to the ghost, she only saw a pair of big yellow eyes like a light bulb, and then she felt that her whole body seemed to be caught, and then she died directly." Veneto added later.

"We checked the location where the eyes appeared as she said, but found no abnormalities. The entire bathroom was no different from the other bathrooms except for being a little worn."

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? In theory, there should be a little snake carved on the side of a copper dragon head?" Hugo, who pretended to listen to his sister and the others carefully, asked Venetto through the Admiral Network.

"Yes, theoretically speaking, there should be such a carving on one of the faucets in that circle, but we didn't find the faucet after turning around."

"What's even more interesting is that all the brass faucets have traces that have just been polished in the past few days, and there is a layer of dust on them." The firefly also inserted into the communication and said what he had just seen.

"If we hadn't known the agency in advance, we would have thought it was a very ordinary pool, and we would not have realized that this place was the exit of the secret room."

"I just got polished - it seems that the person who got that Horcrux this time was smarter than we thought." Hugo said after thinking for a few seconds.

"Obviously, whether it is to polish the carvings on the faucet or spread messages, there is actually only one purpose, that is, to muddle the water in the school and then hide yourself."
