Sean nodded and said in a serious tone: "That ghost horned water snake."
Because Dumbledore said that the ghost horned water snake would stay in the Forbidden Forest, Sean has never thought in that direction. But combined, it turns out that the ghost horned water snake can become invisible!
It is different from the usual ghosts. Not only is it invisible, it can also cause damage.
Sean had been a little confused before, why the murderer only cut the throat. If the murderer was the ghost horned water snake, it would make sense. The wound on Yaya's abdomen was like this - sharp but not serious.
.
Moreover, although the horned water snake has become a ghost, it is still a snake. Parseltongue is not only used to control basilisks, this language can communicate with all snakes!
The ghost horned water snake is obviously not very smart. Whether it was bewitched or lured by some kind of benefit, it has become an accomplice of the heir to the secret room.
Professor McGonagall had obviously thought of this, and her eyes became more and more serious: "It's unbelievable... but looking at it all, the ghost horned water snake is probably the accomplice."
"Yes, Professor, that guy is very special, but only this specialness can explain why the spell does not work." Sean said.
"This is going to be difficult. That guy is not a normal ghost. It can even become invisible and create illusions..." Professor McGonagall sat down with a headache.
Sean's face didn't look good either. Although he had deduced the most likely murderer, how to deal with the ghost horned water snake became a new problem.
Sean even suspected that the long-horned water snake might not be a ghost anymore, but something else - non-existence.
Non-beings, also known as non-human paranormal phenomena, are a category of magical creatures. They themselves transcend life and death and have no counterpart in the Muggle world. Muggles can only perceive all currently known non-beings through indirect means.
Since non-beings are beyond life and death, they are neither born nor die. Non-beings arise from human emotions and feed on these emotions. They are ever-present.
There are three typical non-beings: boggarts, dementors and poltergeists. Peeves in Hogwarts Castle is a special individual among the poltergeists.
The specific situation of the ghost horned water snake is not clear, but at present, it seems like a new non-existence. After all, ghosts do not have such great abilities.
Sean told Professor McGonagall his thoughts. The stern witch nodded slowly and thought: "Sean, your guess is reasonable, but the long-horned water snake does exist in reality - this
Most likely a new magical creature."
"Is there any way to expel or trap it? It's like expelling dementors." Sean asked.
"It may take a long time for a new magical creature to have its spells invented - the Patronus spell did not exist when the dementors appeared," Professor McGonagall explained.
Sean sighed with some disappointment, which meant that they still had nothing to do with that guy...
But they don’t know who the hidden heir is, and they can’t attack in this way... Do they have to wait for Professor Dumbledore to come back? If the ghost horned water snake continues to kill like this, Mr. Wallop
He is about to be interviewed by the government for purchasing large quantities of live roosters.
Actually, Sean had an idea to deal with that guy.
Before, when he faced the ghost horned water snake in the Forbidden Forest, it was afraid of the professors, and at that time, it possessed Hagrid.
At the same time, when the guy came out, Hagrid's mouth was obviously stretched wide, which means that the ghost horned water snake at that time was real.
Does that mean that if the possessed person is controlled, the ghostly horned water snake will also be controlled? Or, the spell can have an effect on it when it switches to the physical state when it is preparing to possess.
Sean felt that this possibility was very high, otherwise, with the characteristics of the ghost, that guy would be invincible, and there would be no need to be sneaky all the time.
But that's the problem with this approach.
That guy is only interested in people with a high affinity for magical beasts, Sean and Daisy.
Sean has no interest in risking his own life, he is willing to let the chickens be unlucky for a while...
There was no way he could let Daisy do this. Sean already treated Little White Flower as his sister and loved him. Moreover, if he really did this, Snape would kill him in advance.
Sean, who had a headache, said goodbye to the troubled Professor McGonagall, and now he can only hope that Professor Dumbledore will return to Hogwarts soon.
As soon as he went out, Sean met a transparent figure, that was Nearly Headless Nick.
The ghosts of Hogwarts have been acting as patrol officers and liaisons recently. After all, they don't have to worry about dying again. And Professor McGonagall has also made a promise that if a ghost unfortunately dies, he will be there at Mandrake
They will be awakened first when mature - Professor Sprout has developed a magic potion to revive the petrified ones.
The ghosts naturally agreed generously. For them, sleeping for a period of time was not an unacceptable thing.
"Hey, Nick." Sean greeted.
"Oh, Sean," Nearly Headless Nick replied, and then said seriously, "You should not appear here alone. According to the notice from the professors, all students should travel in groups."
At first, Nick blamed himself for Edmund being petrified. After learning that Edmund could be awakened, he cheered up and is now very focused on the task assigned to him by Professor McGonagall.
Sean nodded: "Yes, I understand, so my friend is already waiting for me over there."
He pointed to the corner of the stone corridor, where Hermione and Daisy were waiting. Recently, the three of them had been traveling together.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh, good job," Nick nodded, and he changed positions while floating, "Although it is only a short distance away, I should still escort you.
You go over."
Sean did not refuse the other party's kindness: "Thank you, Nick."
One person and one ghost walked towards the end of the stone corridor. Sean asked casually: "Nick, have you heard that ghosts can also use magic?"
"Oh, that's not possible. Even very special ghosts can only slightly affect reality. For example, the wailing widow I mentioned to you. Her crying can make people particularly irritated and sometimes affect the wizard.
A curse, but that's all." Nick explained in detail.
"Oh, okay..." Sean was a little disappointed, and he changed the question, "By the way, Nick, do you know any other ghosts? I mean, for example, people from certain big families, or people who know many ancient ghosts.
The ghost of knowledge - buddy, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that there are many people who can do more, and Sir Nicholas of Mimsy must understand what I mean."
"Oh ho ho, you're right," Nick was very satisfied with Sean's name. He pulled his head and thought for a while, and then his eyes lit up, "Most ghosts shouldn't be able to help, they know
I also know - I know a ghost. She doesn't like to talk much, has a bad temper, and doesn't like to interact with people. I don't know her well, which means that she may be able to help you."
"Who is that ghost?" Sean asked curiously.
"It was the one I asked Edmund to pick up that day. I was actually quite surprised. She had been staying in the Komgari Valley. I just politely sent her an invitation for my 500th anniversary.
I didn't expect her to come - who knew she actually agreed."
"Is that so...eh?" Sean suddenly thought of a question, "Did Edmund pick her up?"
There was not another petrified black ghost at the scene.
Nick scratched his head: "Probably not. Something happened later. I guess she should have gone back to the Komgari Valley by herself. I'm quite sorry that I couldn't entertain her properly."
"what is her name?"
"Few ghosts know her. We all call her the Grumpy Witch. If her real name is," Nick thought for a moment, "I remember, it seems to be Gormley Gaunt."
