Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 624: Ritual in the Secret Room
It was difficult for Ryan not to know about Hagrid's conversation.

After all, later on, Hagrid actually mentioned Ryan's parents' names.

So, even when he and Luna had returned to the Ravenclaw common room and were playing the pounce game with the blue-skinned catkin named Per, he still listened to all the conversations in Hagrid's cabin.

This made him discover something.

That was the matter of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk, which Riddle and Dumbledore had not told anyone else.

All Hagrid knew was that young Voldemort had turned him in.

And Myrtle's death may be related to Voldemort.

Interestingly, this was not revealed to Snape either.

It was obvious that the thousand-year-old basilisk skin was given to Snape by Riddle as a Christmas gift.

But neither of them mentioned any further information.

Snape didn't even ask Riddle, who could be considered his former boss, questions like where did such a twenty-foot-long basilisk skin come from.

Thinking of this, Ryan's gaze passed through the lounge floor to the bathroom on the third floor, the complex pipes, and finally the room filled with green and mysterious mist.

The room-high monkey-faced statue is still there.

But in a corner of the room that was originally an empty space.

There are new decorations.

It was a shrine of neat, deep oak.

A three-foot-tall miniature statue of the deity is placed in the shrine.

The most common image of the deity is the crucifix.

But its face was carved to look like Riddle.

A golden clock flashed in Ryan's eyes.

The image of that room began to rewind.

Rewind to last Saturday morning.

Tom Riddle crawled out of the pipe like an ordinary Muggle, making a pilgrimage.

Come to this room, in front of the shrine.

He was dressed in the common black priest attire.

With a silver cross.

The whole person stood in front of the shrine, chanting holy scriptures.
This is a wonderful magical ritual.

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of the Trinity are all referred to by Himself.

The pure patterns on his clothes, the statues of gods, the cross, the adapted scriptures, and even his own body made up this grand and mysterious ceremony.

Riddle's holy magic after being stripped of original sin was transformed into nothingness through the scriptures and was born again from the statue. As his gaze returned to the cross and along the lines reflected on his clothes, it returned to his body.

Every time it passes through a round, it seems to have been shaped by iron and fire.

Just like iron becomes tough steel after repeated hammering.

The holy and devilish mystery in the magic power becomes deeper and deeper.

"I can't believe he turned his back on science and turned to theology." Ryan couldn't help but sigh in the Ravenclaw lounge.

Luna was keenly aware of Ryan's direction again, "Are you referring to Professor Riddle? He does look like a devout priest."

"Well, then tell me about your feelings towards Dumbledore and the man who was next to Dumbledore at the start-of-term feast and was so affectionate towards him."

Luna frowned when she heard this, "Dumbledore?
He exudes a pure wizard temperament.

Even an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything can make the connection from the first sight of him.

As for that person?
He is more like a leader, a serious judge.”

the other side.

In Hagrid's hut.

Harry and the others were having many new questions about Hagrid's age.

Ron: “So, my parents were dating under your watch?
Ahem. Let me ask, are these two really my father pursuing my mother?"

Draco: "My question may be a little unreasonable.

I also know that my parents must have been very disliked by you at that time.

But, wasn’t my mom and dad really a marriage of convenience?
I mean my mom is so beautiful. My dad went bald at a young age."

Hagrid said that he was still a boy in his thirties at the time and didn't know much about sex.

By the time he and Arthur became familiar with each other, they were already a couple.

As for Draco's parents, he always thought they were bad people and they looked down on him, so they didn't understand him at all.

Seeing Harry preparing to speak, Hagrid said quickly, "I still can't say anything about Lily and James.

If I tell you, it will probably affect the image of your father in your mind.

But I can guarantee that James did become a good boy later on."

Harry was frowning.

He already knew about the affair between his parents and Snape.

So he quickly said, “Wait, my problem is different from theirs.

I want to ask, are you and Myrtle classmates?
Although she hasn't been sneaking around on me since Ginny and I got engaged.

But it was said that she still called out my name while wailing in the bathroom on the third floor.

What if she relapses into her old ways and becomes that me again?

Anyway, Hagrid, can you?"

"You might as well ask about your father and mother!" Hagrid blew his beard unhappily, "She is a Ravenclaw student.

I'm a Gryffindor.

You all know that before the sixth year, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor never had a single class scheduled together.

I was expelled in the third grade and she became a ghost.

I don't know her at all.

Besides, as a professor, is it appropriate for me to go to the girls' bathroom?"

"If you want, it's not impossible." Harry said with a dazed look.

He didn't want to be bothered by Myrtle anymore.

Especially now that Myrtle looks almost like a living person.

He is also a normally developing boy.

What if Myrtle took something she shouldn't have while he was sleeping?

That's bad!
He wouldn't mind if it was Helena, but forget about Myrtle.

As for the Ravenclaw tower, its defenses have been repaired and Myrtle can no longer enter.

He still has some doubts about this.

When Myrtle spied on him bathing before, Ravenclaw's tower was not yet known to be inaccessible to ghosts (except for the Grey Lady).

The results of it?
Therefore, in order to eliminate this risk.

Even if Hagrid came into the girls' bathroom, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"What you said--" Hagrid felt a little unbelievable.

That wasn't something Harry could say.

More like Ron.

At this time, Ron also spoke up, "That's right! Hagrid, help Harry too!
I don't want Myrtle to ruin Harry's relationship with my sister."

"You guys--" Hagrid looked at Draco, the only one who didn't speak.

"You ask me?" Draco pointed at himself, "I think Harry is overthinking.

Didn’t I say this before?

The reason why Myrtle was able to enter Ravenclaw's tower.

Because she is the ghost of Ravenclaw.

Or a ghost who died while a student of Ravenclaw.

Hasn't this loophole been plugged by now?"

Ron: “As you say.

What if Harry gets taken away from me? My sister doesn't want second-hand stuff."

Harry was so annoyed, "What are you talking about? Cuckolding is all nonsense!"
