Chapter 188 Look at this color, then look at this glaze

"professor…"

When Andrew ran into the office panting, Professor McGonagall was grading homework.

It was obvious that they were fifth-year assignments - there were a lot of them, and Professor McGonagall's expression was not very friendly when she was marking them.

When Andrew stood still, the professor looked up from the thick paper and pushed the homework aside.

"What happened, Taylor, that has you so anxious?"

Professor McGonagall glanced at Andrew and asked curiously - in her impression, Taylor has always been the kind of person who takes his time.

"We seem to have found something extraordinary. I suspect it is... something that Slytherin left in the castle."

"Slytherin?"

Professor McGonagall laughed for a moment, as if she had heard a joke, but soon her expression turned serious, "Today is not April Fool's Day, Taylor, are you sure?"

"My Transfiguration can't handle that magic. Normally I can forcibly remove the magic locks of ordinary wizards, and we found the Slytherin house emblem."

Andrew said with some confidence - this evidence is enough.

"You can't handle it? Let's go... go and see, it's surprising that Albus didn't turn the castle upside down..."

The professor stood up and left the pile of homework without any reluctance. Andrew even felt that Professor McGonagall was relieved - aren't the fifth grades this year so weak?
-

"In other words, someone reported it first, then you surrounded the women's restroom, emptied it out, and searched it before you discovered something was wrong?"

Professor McGonagall, who had listened to the discovery of the object on the way here, began to look serious. "It sounds like someone deliberately lured you in... No, it could also be that he was planning to ruin your reputation, or that he discovered something but was afraid to say it directly?"

The professor made several guesses in succession, but got no results - because Andrew only provided vague clues.

"But I know why Albus didn't find it... He can't find it here..."

The professor laughed, then walked quickly into the crowd - people seemed to want to slip in, but were blocked by Percy at the door. As for the unfortunate Nazarov, he was nowhere to be seen at the moment. It seemed that he was regretting getting involved.

"professor!"

Percy shouted in surprise, and the dark crowd suddenly fell silent.

People couldn't help but look back, and then they all straightened up.

Before Professor McGonagall came over, the students had already automatically made way for her. The professor walked through with her lips pursed, and only nodded to Percy when she passed by. Andrew followed behind, communicating with Percy with his eyes and nods as he followed in.

Sure enough, Nazarov was pacing back and forth inside, muttering something under his breath - if nothing unexpected happened, he was probably scolding Andrew.

"Professor McGonagall."

When he looked up and saw Professor McGonagall, Nazarov immediately stepped forward to complain, but when he saw Andrew behind him, he had to roll his eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lorenzo," the professor nodded. "Where is that thing, Taylor?"

"This way, Professor."

The bean sprouts squeaked as Andrew stepped on them. He took out his wand to cancel his Transfiguration and pointed out the problematic water pipe to Professor McGonagall.

"water pipe?"

Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, "Taylor, when the castle's plumbing was being renovated, it was still a long way from being completed..."

Although the name Slytherin can indeed intimidate people, this kind of thing should not be put on pipes - to put it in an analogy, it is like asking experts not to look at the microwave-friendly bottom of the bowl, but to look at the glaze and gloss.

"But the goods below are genuine, but I can't say that..."

Andrew could only make a surprised expression, and Professor McGonagall casually took out her wand, and then... "Something's wrong, Taylor, something's wrong... Go call Albus over, he's at school today, tell Albus that there may indeed be something left by Slytherin here."

Professor McGonagall's expression suddenly turned serious and she gave a quick instruction.

"Is this something the professor can't handle?"

Andrew thought as he ran towards the door. Nazarov, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but cover his mouth - Slytherin's stuff? Oh my god!
-

Dumbledore was soon invited over by Andrew. When Andrew informed him that he had found something of Slytherin, Dumbledore still had the mind to joke with Andrew, but when Andrew repeated that this was confirmed by Professor McGonagall, the headmaster became energetic.

"Albus."

"This way?"

Dumbledore walked over quickly, observed casually, and then drew his wand.

"really…"

Dumbledore sighed, "Part of the school's authority... the power of the protective system. If this badge is correct, it should be something left by Slytherin, or at least related to Slytherin."

"How do I open it, Albus?"

"It will take a while, Minerva… maybe, five days?"

Dumbledore received a stare from Professor McGonagall.

"Okay, it will only take three days... I'm also curious about what's inside."

Dumbledore didn't look like he was being caught slacking off, which made Andrew admire him very much - I'll write about it later... Never mind, let's not mention anything that will help us go to the Astronomy Tower.

"Classmate Taylor, come here..."

Dumbledore called over to Andrew, "Tell me what happened again. I'm curious about who was the first person."

Just be curious...

Andrew has already typed out all the drafts and details.

...

"Hmm, I can't tell... What do you think, Taylor-san?"

"I suspect it has something to do with what happened at the beginning of the school year... It's impossible for such a place to be exposed suddenly..."

Andrew hesitated for a moment and began to frame.

"Indeed... If it was a backdoor installed later, someone must have interfered at the time to do it... And now they are trying to reopen the secret... Do you think it's a prank, or someone is framing you, or revenge?"

Professor McGonagall's eyes were extremely serious at this moment. She looked at Andrew and nodded - he handled the situation well. If he broke in and was caught again, there would be no explanation.

"I'll go ask the portrait if they see the person Andrew mentioned... If not, then it's definitely a frame-up. Lorenzo, come with me."

Professor McGonagall called Nazarov away, firstly to tell him that he must not leak secrets, and secondly because the events that would happen at the beginning of the school year were not suitable for him to hear.

"Professor Dumbledore," Andrew walked over quickly while Dumbledore was looking at the entrance after Professor McGonagall left. "I think we may have only paid attention to Scabbers at the beginning of the school year. I want to ask the rest of the people on the bus... especially the younger ones... I suspect they have been bewitched or controlled..."

"…No Veritaserum, Taylor…Just a simple conversation, just asking questions—you can use Transfiguration to detect those control spells, right?"

"Well, I read about it last year..."

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Go ahead."
