Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 634: Curiosity killed the cat

Albert never thought that Hermione would be attacked at this time.

In his opinion, Tom Riddle's first target should be Gilderoy Lockhart, not any other Muggle wizard.

At least, Albert, who is full of panel quests, is more likely to be attacked than everyone else.

The attack on Hermione should have been accidental.

In the novel, the nearly headless Nick also happens to save a certain Hufflepuff student, and the ghost now happens to save Hermione, which feels a bit like a correction of history.

However, Nick, who was almost headless, was petrified, always giving Albert an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Is it really just an accident?

Albert didn't know either.

This kind of weird feeling will breed, and it's more derived from some of the time-turner's sassy operations.

Albert determined Ginny Weasley's location and took out his detection ball to confirm that the basilisk had returned to the secret room before heading to the school hospital to visit the petrified Hermione.

He meets Harry and Ron in the hallway outside the school hospital. The two looked sad, apparently not thinking that Hermione would be attacked.

Albert stopped Harry and asked, "Where was Hermione found?"

"On the third floor, near the promenade of the stairs leading to the second floor." Harry said in a low voice, seeing no one to his left or right, "I heard that voice again."

"It seems that my guess is correct. Well, Harry, don't be sad, you should think about the good, Hermione is just petrified, it is already very lucky." Albert reached out and patted it. Li's shoulder comforted: "At least, there is no need to worry about being attacked again."

Harry and Ron were speechless when they heard the words. They didn't expect Albert to be so comforting.

If you can't comfort others, don't talk!

The two failed to understand Albert's meaning, and they were undoubtedly lucky that they didn't lose their lives when they were attacked.

After being separated from Harry and Ron, Albert went to the school hospital alone.

If I hadn't gotten to know Madam Pomfrey very well and said that she was Hermione's good friend, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been given a five-minute visit, but would have been kicked out of the school hospital.

Albert walked over to the hospital bed and looked at Hermione, who was lying stiff on the bed. The girl's eyes were wide and frightened, apparently seeing the ugly basilisk with her own eyes.

If I were replaced by myself, would my legs become weak from the basilisk?

After leaving the school hospital, Albert looked at the panel quest that was triggered and was quite satisfied. He came to the school hospital to see if he could find any clues, preferably to trigger the panel quest.

Sleeping Beauty?

Well, the task is simple.

Probably wake up Hermione before Snape deploys a powerful restorative agent, and the reward is also very general, some experience and favorability, a task that is better than nothing.

Albert has a potent restorative in his hand that can be given to Hermione at any time to wake her up.

Of course, Albert didn't intend for Hermione to wake up from petrification now, at least until Tom Riddle's diary was destroyed, otherwise disarming her petrification early would only endanger her life.

Leaving the school hospital, when Albert was about to return to the library, he saw a glove waving at him in the air, and then made a tick, leading him to an unused room An empty classroom with no one in it, but a piece of parchment on a dusty table.

There's something wrong with this!

Albert saw that the glove was pointing at the parchment on the table, motioning him to read the contents, and then lost his strength and fell on the parchment.

As he walks into the classroom and reaches for the parchment, his eyes are drawn to something in the corner of the classroom.

Albert turned his head to look, and was so frightened by the shadow in the corner that he pulled out his wand.

When he looks around, he immediately recognizes it as Nick, who is almost headless.

This Mr. Ghost is no longer milky white and transparent, but has become black and smoky, looking like a ferocious ghost.

No way, Nick's head is half off, looking terrifying.

This Mr. Ghost was also petrified, lying motionless on his back, suspended six inches above the ground. There was an undisguised horror on his face, but Albert could see a bit of a heroic decision to die from the horror.

Albert picked up the parchment and began to read the contents, which were scrawled on the parchment: 4:30 pm, 3rd floor, West Tower, one lap, map.

"Sure, there is a problem." Albert stuffed the parchment back into his pocket, which was undoubtedly a reminder to himself that he should return to save Hermione.

Weird!

However, Albert didn't think about it either. He took out the time converter and prepared to go back an hour ago, recalling the information on the paper in his mind:

4:30pm should be the time Hermione was attacked.

The third floor of the West Tower should refer to Nick's location.

A lap should refer back to an hour ago.

Map should refer to Marauder Map.

I specifically reminded myself on the parchment that I would definitely use it.

Albert put away the time-turner, tucked his gloves into his pocket, and hurried toward the boys' dormitory. He knew where the twins kept the Marauder's Map.

On returning to the Gryffindor common room, Albert finds that the pot has been fried, and everyone is discussing the attack on Hermione and the nearly headless Nick.

Oddly enough, people seem to care more about Nick's attack.

Kenneth Toller approached Albert almost as soon as he returned to the lounge, hoping to continue working with him on the amulet, but Albert gave him a reason to shirk it into the night, he is not free now Wrangling with each other.

After picking up the Marauder's Map from the drawer, Albert uses the time shifter to go back an hour.

Going downstairs, she glanced at the corner of the common room inadvertently. Ginny was still in the common room, and she didn't know if she had been controlled by Tom now.

Hermione is also here, seems to be saying something to Harry and Ron, everything seems calm, who could have guessed that there will be an attack soon?

Albert wondered if he did something to cause the attack?

He quickly suppressed all his emotions and quickly left the Gryffindor common room to find Nick, who was almost headless. He had to convince Nick to protect Hermione from the basilisk. harm.

Nick, who was almost headless, was not difficult to find. It was around the third floor of the West Tower. Albert quickly found Nick's exact location through the Marauder's map.

As he rushes past, he finds Nick talking to a female ghost.

Albert hesitated to go directly to disturb the other party, but after seeing Nick's back gradually receding, he finally couldn't help but quickly stepped forward and stopped Nick, who was almost headless.

"Anything with me, Albert." Nick took off his head like a top hat and greeted Albert.

"Yes sir, there is something that only the heroic Sir Nicholas can do." Albert did not forget to compliment the other party.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Nick took an interest, and Albert's compliments were very useful to him.

"Are you aware of the attack going on at the school?" Albert asked.

"Yes." Nick nodded,

"There will be another attack on the school in the near future." Abbott took a time-turner from his pocket and reached in front of Nick, "This is a time-turner, which allows people to return to A few hours ago."

"So, you're from a few hours later" Nick asked suspiciously.

"Accurately, it will be an hour later." Albert put his index finger to his lips, made a shush motion, and said softly, "Remember to keep it a secret, this matter was originally not to be told to anyone, Of course, neither can ghosts."

"I will," Nick assured, nodding. "What do you need me to do?"

"I need Sir Nicholas to save a friend of mine at a critical moment," Albert solemnly begged.

"I'm just a ghost," Nick reminds.

"I know," Albert explained. "The attacker was actually a basilisk, a monster that Slytherin left in the chamber and was released."

"You just said... basilisk!" Nick's voice stuttered a little.

"Yes, the basilisk, my friend Hermione will lose her life if you look into the eyes of the basilisk, but if you stand in her way in time, you can prevent a life from being lost, leaving her just Petrified by basilisk eyes."

"Don't worry, the Basilisk can't hurt you, staring into its eyes will at best temporarily incapacitate you, and you'll save a life." Albert is trying to convince Nick, "Only the brave Gryffindors have the courage to face the basilisk. In the not too distant future, you did too, saving Hermione's life."

"Well, you're right, not all ghosts have that kind of courage." Nick agreed to help.

"One more thing, please help me keep it a secret, otherwise I will be severely punished for violating a large number of Ministry of Magic laws." Albert urged.

"I will." Nick patted his chest and offered to help, realizing he was doing something great.

Yes, they're trying to save a student's life, something only a brave Gryffindor ghost can do, and most importantly, he succeeds, which is important.

Under Albert's flickering, Nick agreed to help, he hurried to the third floor of the school, and waited for Hermione by the corridor as Albert planned.

It's fifteen minutes until four-thirty in the afternoon.

Hermione was sneaking out of the Gryffindor common room behind Ginny Weasley, trying to figure out what Ron's sister was doing while Albert was trying to save Hermione .

Actually, Albert's guess was right, and this was really caused by his return to the past.

Not long ago, Albert caught Hermione's gaze when he hurriedly left the Gryffindor common room. That inadvertent swipe at Ginny Weasley just happened to catch Hermione's attention.

Hermione was curious as to why Albert was paying special attention to Ginny, apparently for some reason, since the two of them didn't know each other well.

Although Hermione didn't know why, after she secretly observed Ginny, she soon discovered Ginny's anomaly, which was probably the reason why Albert would accidentally glance at Ginny.

While Hermione doesn't understand what's going on, she's quick to relate it to some of Ginny's erratic behavior at school.

Ginny had had nightmares a while back, had a breakdown, had a pale face like she was sick, was sad when Filch's cat was attacked...all of which are evidence of Ginny's misbehavior.

Also, Riddle's diary was stolen, and it was a Gryffindor student who stole the diary, Albert thought there was something wrong with that diary, Albert noticed Ginny, maybe he'd found out earlier Ginny's behavior is abnormal, and she becomes suspicious of Ginny

Ginny Weasley may be the thief who stole the diary

There is another possibility.

An absurd thought popped into Hermione's mind that Ginny had something to do with the Chamber of Secrets, she knew who opened the Chamber of Secrets, even Ginny who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

No way!

But Albert never goes for nothing, he suspects Ginny for a reason.

Ginny's expression just now was also very wrong.

Hermione couldn't help but stop. She felt that she should tell Harry and Ron what she knew, but she was a little curious about what Ginny was going to do. If she returned to the common room, she would definitely be followed. Lost, and Ginny is Ron's sister, Ron may not believe his words.

In the end, Hermione sneaked behind Ginny~IndoMTL.com~ trying to figure out what the **** Ginny was up to first. But she didn't know that Ginny Weasley knew someone was following her.

Yes, Tom knew someone was stalking him, but he didn't care, especially knowing in Ginny Weasley's mind whether the stalker was a Muggle wizard or a Harry Potter friend Later, Tom had other thoughts and planned to summon the basilisk to kill the other party.

Presumably after the death of his friend, Harry Potter will definitely pursue this matter desperately. When he believes that he will meet Harry again, he will have the opportunity to find out the reason for Voldemort's failure and put Harry Completely strangled in the cradle.

As for the despicable guy like Lockhart, Tom Riddle originally planned to kill him this time, but the appearance of Hermione behind him made Tom change his mind.

After all, Lockhart still has some value, allowing him to guide Harry to the Chamber of Secrets, and then kill them together.

If Lockhart died too easily, it was obviously not in line with Voldemort's style of doing things, leading people to the secret room, and how he wanted to kill the other party at that time, that's what he said.

Ginny picked up her pace and easily got rid of Hermione on the second floor. She sneaked into the back room and controlled the basilisk to attack Hermione.

Unbeknownst to Tom, everything he did was seen by Albert through the Marauder's Map.

To be honest, Albert was actually quite surprised when he saw Hermione stalking Ginny on the Marauder's map. He didn't expect Hermione to suspect Ginny at all, which is really not to be underestimated!

It's just that Gryffindor's death-defying personality is very problematic. If it weren't for him, Hermione would be cold.

Curiosity killed the cat!
