Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 575: Tom knows

As soon as Colin Creevey left the Gryffindor common room on the front foot, Albert came down from his dorm on the back foot.

Tonight, he added some ingredients to the milk tea of ​​his roommates, and asked them to go back to rest after eating their supper and drinking the milk tea.

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all slept so deeply that they would not wake up in the middle of the night, much less realize that their roommate had suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night.

Albert did not forget to raise his wand as he left the common room to look at the portrait of the Fat Lady, the lady in charge of the gate who was out to drop by.

"I see, that's what he meant." Albert muttered, turned and walked forward quickly, disappearing into the deep darkness at the end of the promenade.

A few minutes later, Albert pushed open the door of the Room of Requirement and sat in the brightly lit room, laying out the Marauder's Map on the table, staring at Colin's location.

Colin Creevey walked slowly, probably for the first time on a night tour. He walked with trepidation every step of the way, and he has just reached the seventh floor of the castle.

Albert believed that Tom Riddle was hiding in the secret room at this time, monitoring the entire castle with a mantra to determine the location of the Mudblood, and to avoid bumping into the castle when he released the basilisk to wander. Lou's professor.

From a certain point of view, Tom's approach is quite perfect, almost at the same time as completing the attack, perfectly hiding the basilisk monster.

However, Tom could never have imagined that such a perfect attack was thoroughly seen by Albert from the very beginning.

Travelers can sometimes do whatever they want.

Albert had cast a strong shielding spell on himself when he came down from the dormitory.

That is the result of his continuous efforts in the past half month. With the blessing of the panel skills and his own continuous efforts, Albert finally made it to Tom Riddle to control Ginny Weasley to complete the second attack Before, he successfully used the Shielding Charm to block his own existence, so that his name and footprints would not appear on the map where the Tracing Charm was cast.

Yes, Tom Riddle didn't know anything about it, he took Albert as his prey, but he didn't know that the other party had already regarded him as his prey.

At this moment, the Slytherin heir is staying in the underground tunnel with Ginny Weasley, who is under his control, monitoring the mudblood's movements through the map presented in the diary.

Not long ago, Tom learned from Ginny that there was a Mudblood named Colin who was going to visit Harry in the middle of the night, and when he invited her to go with him, Tom had already decided to kill the nasty Mudblood. .

This is a rare opportunity, Tom knew that the cat that attacked the Squib last time didn't let the school students realize that the Chamber of Secrets was reopened and that the Slytherin heir had returned.

That's when Tom realized that he had to let the Basilisk kill a Mudblood or two, so that the Mudbloods of the school would once again feel the fear of being dominated by the Slytherin heir.

Ginny Weasley's mouth hissed to soothe the restless basilisk behind him.

Since being awakened from hibernation by Tom, the basilisk has been cranky.

It's hungry.

Those rats in the underground pipes just can't feed it. Tom couldn't control Ginny to get food for the basilisk, and there was no need for it. For him, the basilisk was just a tool for his purpose.

Tom Riddle's serpent-like accent keeps grumpy basilisks at his command.

On the map of the diary, the footprints of the mudblood are marked, and they have come to the school hospital on the second floor of the castle.

As for Squib Master Filch?

Tom had already visited the other party before entering the secret room, and Filch was now lying on the bed, sound asleep, and would not wake up for six or seven hours.

As Colin Creevey approached the school hospital, Tom controlled the basilisk out of the Slytherin Chamber and began tonight's hunt.

He's looking forward, looking forward to how the Mudbloods at Hogwarts will react after tonight's attack.

At this moment, Colin Creevey was unaware that he was being targeted. The reason for his rapid heartbeat was more because the darkness around him and the coldness of the air made him feel uncomfortable, but the lantern in his hand failed to give him a sense of security.

Also, Colin was still a little worried, worried that he was wandering around the castle in the middle of the night, getting caught by the professors and deducting a lot of points, making all Harry's efforts on the field in vain.

As Colin was about to cross the stairs at the end of the Transfiguration classroom corridor and head towards the school hospital, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.

What's that sound?

Perhaps it was the courage of the Gryffindor House students that kept Colin from turning away immediately.

In Colin's impression, there is no danger in Hogwarts Castle. If there is danger, can it still be called a school?

If you don't sleep at night and wander around the castle, at best you will be caught by the professors, deducted points and locked up.

However, the rustling sound was clearly not the footsteps of the professors.

Colin did not leave, but waited for the sound to approach. He had heard some senior students say that there are many interesting things at Hogwarts, such as getting up at night and walking around at night, and there is a chance of encountering patrols in the corridors knight in armor.

Maybe, today is his lucky day.

Something incredible happened to me at Hogwarts.

Colin suddenly got a little excited, put the lantern in his hand on the ground, took off the camera from his neck, and prepared to take a picture of this scene.

The rustling voice is getting closer.

As the owner of the voice crossed the corner, Colin quickly pressed the camera button, the camera flashed in the dark corridor, and a huge snake came into view~IndoMTL.com~ what! "

Colin's eyes widened, his stunned expression completely frozen on his face, and his voice stopped abruptly.

This is how Colin Creevey was petrified by the Basilisk.

In a way, Colin Creevey was lucky.

Because the basilisk's eyes were seen through the camera, he was not directly killed by the basilisk's eyes, but was merely petrified.

He falls backwards, hitting the steps behind him.

In the office of Professor McGonagall not far from here, Professor McGonagall, who had just finished grading the students' homework and lay down to rest, got up from the bed immediately after hearing the cry.

Professor McGonagall's face is very ugly at this moment, apparently there is a student wandering around the castle without sleep in the middle of the night.

She quickly put on her cloak, picked up her wand, and hurried out of the office when she heard an eerie rustling sound at the end of the corridor, as if something was dragging along the ground.

"What's that sound?"

Professor McGonagall immediately became vigilant and walked forward, she soon found Colin Creevey lying stiff on the ground, and she couldn't help feeling a shudder. Professor McGonagall immediately raised his wand and looked warily at the end of the corridor.

The voice just now was most likely a monster in the secret room.

She hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed the direction of the sound. When she passed the first corner, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

"What's the matter, Minerva, I heard a call just now."

Dumbledore in his pajamas appeared before Professor McGonagall without warning.
