Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 641: 4 victims (large

As soon as Tom Riddle left on his forefoot, Professor McGonagall hurried over after hearing the noise.

She stared in shock at the classroom door that had been rammed by the basilisk. Her gaze moved forward along the two torn knight armors beside the door, and landed on the badly damaged desks and chairs.

There seems to be something in there?

Professor McGonagall has her wand in hand, ready for battle.

As she stepped on the door panel and walked into the classroom, her pupils dilated slightly, looking at the roosters running around in the classroom, and murmured in disbelief, "What the **** is going on here!"

"An Attack"

Professor McGonagall looked at the group of roosters in the classroom again and said to himself: "This is a strange thing no matter how you look at it."

She raised her wand and whispered a spell, and three silver cats sprang from the tip of her wand. The three patron saints swiftly ran forward and disappeared at the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

If Albert were here, he would be happy to discuss advanced use of the Patronus Charm with Professor McGonagall.

A few minutes later, Professor Snape was the first to arrive. His face turned pale, and he hurriedly glanced around the messy classroom. He looked back at Professor McGonagall and said, "Have you noticed Slytherin? The heir of , leaving another line of words."

"What did you find?"

Professor McGonagall had a bad feeling about what Snape said.

"Just below that last paragraph, it says: Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever," Snape said hoarsely.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips tightly, trying to look as strong as she could.

"Another attack. When I came, I saw the fat monk being petrified." Professor Sprout came in a hurry. She couldn't help but froze when she saw the messy classroom, and looked up at her two colleagues. Asked, "What's going on here and what's going on with the roosters."

"A student was kidnapped by a monster and taken directly into the Chamber of Secrets," Snape explained.

"Who."

Professor Flitwick asked sharply when he heard the bad news as soon as he arrived.

Snape noticed that the other professors were staring at him, and had to repeat, "Under the last paragraph, it was written: Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever."

"Which student is it?" Professor Sprout covered his mouth to keep himself from crying.

"I don't know." Professor Snape shook his head.

"What's going on here?" Professor Flitwick asked, looking at the classroom.

"I heard a loud noise in the office just now, and it was like this when I came over." Professor McGonagall is still confused.

"The roosters here are all real, not conjured by magic!" screamed Professor Flitwick, who had just made the roosters in the classroom disappear, only to find that the spell had failed.

"Hagrid's Cock"

"Probably not."

"There's something weird about this whole thing." Snape looked at the group of roosters in the classroom, thinking that there must be some special reason for the group of roosters to be here.

"Anyway, we must first find out who was kidnapped by the monsters, and then... send the remaining students home tomorrow." Professor McGonagall immediately made follow-up arrangements, "Severus , Filius, please go to the library and send all the students who stay there back to their common rooms."

"Better inform Lockhart. He swore to me the other day that he knew the entrance to the back room and what the monsters in the back room were. If there are students kidnapped by monsters, I think we need his help now. Snape did not forget to remind Professor McGonagall of this.

"Okay Severus, please notify Lockhart, tell him what happened here, and let Lockhart let go of that monster." Professor McGonagall said sideways again, "Pomona , you go to inform the other professors, I will make the ghosts move too, make sure no students stay outside the dormitory. We must first find out if any students are really kidnapped by monsters."

While the Hogwarts professors were busy with the attack, Albert, one of the culprits, had just come out of the Room of Requirement and looked in a good mood.

Just a few minutes ago, Albert witnessed the dots marked Ginny Weasley disappear completely into the abandoned girls' bathroom on the second floor of the castle.

After Tom Riddle was forced to take Ginny Weasley into the Chamber of Secrets, Albert was more than halfway done.

Kill the basilisk, destroy the journal, save Ginny Weasley

No, that's the mission of the savior, Harry Potter, and it has nothing to do with him, Albert Anderson.

Albert has been preparing for more than half a year, nothing more than to complete a large number of secret room-related tasks accumulated in the task panel while ensuring the safety of his own life.

Finding out the real culprit behind the attack is more for one's own safety. There is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days.

As for clearing up Hagrid's grievances and restoring his reputation, he was only pulling the other side by the way.

After all, everyone is a good friend. If you can pull it along, you can help me along the way.

After the fact, there are many hidden benefits.

For example, the right to speak, no one will despise Albert because he is underage. If he wants to fool him in the future...cough cough, he will be able to persuade others better in the future and play his magic trick...the prophet Ability.

However, if you want to complete the panel tasks and get those benefits, you must first find out the real culprit and put the cruel facts on the surface.

Albert never expected to convince any professor of his own words.

It was necessary for Tom Riddle to jump out on his own and prove he was the real culprit in the attack.

So, Albert spent a lot of time and energy gradually "leading" Tom Riddle to carry out this thrilling attack and expose himself.

Of course, after spending so much energy, in addition to completing the previously accumulated tasks, Albert has added two more rewarding tasks to the task panel.

They are "The Basilisk Must Die", which asks to kill the basilisk, and "Tom's Wrath", which provokes Tom's emotions. It is worth mentioning that "Tom's Wrath" has been completed.

It's great that Albert is rewarded with another free skill from Tom Riddle.

The rewards of "Tom's Wrath" are richer than most quest rewards. Voldemort is a treasure boy, and he has a lot of good things. He is looking forward to the harvest this time, and it is best to have some proficient skills.

As for Tom Riddle, who became the last loser, the most fundamental reason was to underestimate the enemy and misjudgment, otherwise Albert would not be able to easily achieve his goals.

Especially after the basilisk made a noise in the classroom and Albert slipped out of nowhere, Tom lost his pants, and he lost without knowing it.

When Tom Riddle recovers from his anger, he will find that he has no better choice.

As a party to the attack, he did not kill or petrify Albert, which means it is no longer safe to stay in the castle.

After all, he could be identified at any time, even without proof.

What the victim says is the best evidence.

What's more, Albert really has no evidence?

Of course he has, and there's a lot of evidence.

So, for Tom, taking Ginny into the Chamber of Secrets and buying enough time for himself is his last option.

He needs time to infuse Ginny's vitality into the diary, so that he can "resurrect" from the diary completely.

Tom's original arrangements were completely disrupted by this attack.

It's even worse for Tom, it's all a conspiracy by that muggle wizard named Albert Anderson, and he let him swagger away from his nose, which was unprecedented for Voldemort shame.

If Tom Riddle knew that he had achieved what Albert wanted most, I wonder if he would run out of the back room and fight Albert desperately.

From the beginning, Albert didn't plan to capture the Slytherin heir, as long as the professors knew the cruel fact that "Ginny was taken into the back room by a monster", they had to accept that Albert's next The "good news" for them, not a reluctance to believe Albert's words, or to take his words seriously.

This is a prejudice among wizards, and young witches and wizards are not respected until they reach adulthood.

Instead of thinking they're... being mischievous, or babbling.

Albert knows this all too well.

Those old friends who are willing to communicate with him on an equal footing and invite him to academic gatherings, who are not forced to ignore Albert's age after being beaten up by Albert with the knowledge on the panel, Acknowledging that Albert has stood on an equal level with them.

After leaving the Room of Requirement, Albert was about to return to the common room. He had no intention of going to Professor McGonagall right now to tell him what he knew.

Any remarks will only attract unnecessary suspicion to oneself until it is confirmed that a student is missing.

In the words of a previous life movie: let the bullets fly for a while.

Albert is very calm, and he is not the one who is anxious anyway.

Anyway, the hatred he gave Lockhattra was solid. Before entering the secret room, Tom Riddle actually went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office to ask Lockhart for trouble.

What surprised Albert most was that after Tom Riddle left the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, the dots representing Lockhart on the Marauder's map didn't just disappear.

Tom didn't even pull out his wand and gave Lockhart a kill for Avada.

Although I don't know what Tom Riddle did in the dozen or so seconds he entered Lockhart's office, Albert knew that Tom would never let Lockhart go easily.

Alas!

The Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's curse is so terrible, hope the people of Lockhart are okay.

Albert didn't feel the slightest burden for himself for cheating on Lockhart. Anyway, Lockhart didn't die, no matter how miserable he was, he wouldn't lose all his memories like in the original book and become a fool who couldn't take care of himself. .

"Why are you hanging out alone!" The fat lady saw Albert walking slowly, and immediately said with a straight face: "You should know that it is dangerous to be alone outside now."

"Egg in an egg."

Albert did not intend to continue listening to the fat lady's nagging, and immediately gave the command.

"Oh, well, hurry in and stop running around alone!" The Fat Lady's portrait swivels forward, revealing a hole in the wall.

The Gryffindor common room was empty, save for a few people whispering and laughing.

Albert walked to the place where the kettle was placed, pulled out his wand and tapped, and a burst of steam suddenly spewed from the spout.

Harry, who played wizard chess with Ron, casts a suspicious look at Albert.

"What's wrong?" Ron followed Harry's gaze, his eyes full of confusion.

“How did he come back alone?” Harry frowned.

"Fred told me secretly that as long as you don't get caught, it's not a violation of the school rules." Ron disagreed, he knew that Albert and the others didn't take those rules seriously at all.

"Where are Fred and George?" Harry still felt something was wrong and asked.

"Still in the library, they will be back soon." Albert went upstairs to get a cup, ready to make a cup of milk tea for himself. He has been busy just now and hasn't had time to drink.

Before Harry could speak again, the entrance to the common room was opened again, and Professor Flitwick brought back all the Gryffindor students left in the library.

As soon as everyone entered the common room, there was a discussion about who was kidnapped by the monster.

"You're fine, we thought you were kidnapped by monsters."

Fred, George and Lee Jordan, who had just entered the common room, were relieved to see Albert sitting in an armchair drinking milk tea, and walked quickly to Albert to give him a big Embrace.

No way.

They were told that something had happened as soon as Albert walked away.

The three were naturally worried about Albert's accident.

"What did Slytherin's monsters take me for?" Albert glanced at the knocked-down cup and sighed, before he had time to take a second sip.

"Anyone kidnapped by a Slytherin monster?" Harry asked warily.

"Yeah, just now, Professor Flitwick said that some students seem to have been kidnapped." Lee Jordan quickly shared what he knew to Harry and the other students who remained in the common room.

"Everyone gather here, please go and call down all the girls in the dormitory, I need to count the number." Percy began to fulfill the responsibility of prefect to determine whether the remaining students were all it's here.

Ten minutes later, Percy's face darkened as he discovered that his sister was missing.

"Have any of you seen Ginny?" Percy immediately asked his brother.

Seeing all three shaking their heads, the expression on Percy's face became even more gloomy. He asked two girls he knew to go to Ginny's room to find someone, but found nothing.

Ginny is missing.

She is most likely the student who was kidnapped by the monster.

Percy's hand holding the parchment trembled at the thought.

Both Fred and George looked at Albert nervously, and just as they were about to speak, the door to the common room was opened again, and Professor McGonagall hurried in.

"Professor, my sister is missing." Percy's voice was hoarse, like something was blocking his throat.

"This is the end of Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall said in a hoarse voice, looking around the students in the common room, "The Hogwarts Express will take you home early tomorrow morning, until then. Stay in the common room."

"Professor, I want to send a letter to the family." Percy's mind was in chaos, and he didn't even know what to do with his family.

"Be safe." Professor McGonagall agreed.

After Professor McGonagall turned to leave, Albert noticed that Fred and George had been staring at him.

"Where is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets?"

Fredela asked Alberto impatiently after returning to the dormitory.

"You sure know, tell us, please," George exclaimed. "Ginny is our sister, and we can't let her have an accident."

"The entrance to the secret room is in the girls' bathroom on the second floor of the castle." Albert looked at the twins in a hurry, and explained in a low voice, "The entrance to the secret room requires a Parseltongue to open."

"Parseltongue?"

"Parseltongue is a symbol of Slytherin."

Albert glanced at Harry and Ron who were eavesdropping outside the door and comforted, "Don't worry, Ginny should be alive, she's fine for now. Only Dumbledore can save Gin now. Ni."

"But Dumbledore is not at school right now."

"He will be back, at the latest at night. It's useless for you to be in a hurry now." Albert pulled out his wand and waved it gently, directing Fred and George who were pulling Harry away. put down.

"What are you doing?"

Several people looked at Albert in shock.

"I can understand their feelings, but impulses can't solve any problems." Albert's tone was very calm, "I can't watch them go to death."

"Okay, I think you know what you're doing." Lee Jordan glanced at Albert, used magic to levitate Fred and George, and moved them to his bed.

"Can I open the Chamber of Secrets?" Harry stared at Albert, as if trying to confirm the truth of this sentence, "You must know what's going on, right!"

"Yes, I will go to Professor McGonagall to make it clear now, you guys just stay here and wait." Albert said seriously, "When Professor Dumbledore returns to school, you will definitely help open the secret room. entrance."

"Why not save Ginny now?" Ron couldn't help asking.

As the safety of his sister's life is concerned, he doesn't want to wait a moment now.

"Entering the secret room now is to die. Any professor who enters the secret room may die. Only the headmaster can kill the basilisk and the heir of Slytherin." Albert softly relieved, "Don't worry, Ginny will be fine for now."

"Ginny isn't your sister, so you're not in a hurry at all." Ron almost shouted.

"Sorry, but I think you might need to calm down." Albert waved his wand and knocked Ron down, "I know Ron is upset, but impulses won't solve the problem, it's best to put them to sleep now , and when you wake up, everything is settled."

"How do I open the Chamber of Secrets?" Harry hurriedly supported Ron, who had passed out, so that he would not fall directly to the ground.

"The snake mark, facing the snake-related mark in the girls' bathroom, saying "open" in Parseltongue will probably open the secret room." Albert reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder. "Don't act on your own, wait for my good news, okay?"

"Okay!" Harry knew he had no choice but to trust Albert now.

Albert knew that Harry wouldn't obediently wait here for the result, but he didn't care that the other party acted without authorization. With the reminder of the Flux (intuition), he brought down Fred, George and Ron, which is to give Harry's chance to face Tom Riddle alone.

As for whether the Savior will die in the Chamber of Secrets, that's not what Albert should be concerned about.

When Albert found Professor McGonagall, the vice-principal had just come out of the principal's office, and she had just asked the portraits of past principals in the principal's office to inform the school board of what happened in the school.

"Professor." Albert stopped Professor McGonagall.

"Mr Anderson, what are you doing here?" Professor McGonagall stared sternly at Albert.

"I know where the entrance to the secret room is, what the monsters are in the secret room, who is the heir to Slytherin, and what's going on in the classroom on the third floor." finished speaking in one breath.

"What did you say!" Professor McGonagall stared at Albert, unable to believe his ears.

Seeing the wonderful expression on Professor McGonagall's face, Albert was in a happy mood, knowing that the other party would definitely be willing to listen to his words patiently.

"The heir to Slytherin, um, Ginny. She was probably controlled by something and attacked me not long ago, but it didn't work." Albert said lightly: "So, you should I saw the classroom on the third floor, it was created when he let the basilisk attack me."

"You were really attacked?" Professor McGonagall stammered.

"Don't look at me with that suspicious look, I made those roosters because the basilisks are afraid of roosters."

"The Basilisk," Professor McGonagall repeated uneasily.

"The monster in the secret room is the basilisk."

"You knew it from the start," Professor McGonagall asked in disbelief.

"Come on, I've been investigating this for a while, and I know most of it," said Albert calmly.

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"Now that this kind of thing has happened, you are not very willing to believe me, let alone before it happened, even if I told you, you would probably think..." Albert did not finish, but It was already obvious what he meant.

Albert's words left Professor McGonagall speechless.

"I think Ginny should still be alive, and she should be rescued from the chamber now," Albert reminded.

"Yes, where is the entrance to the secret room?" Professor McGonagall suddenly woke up and asked quickly.

"The entrance to the secret room is in the abandoned bathroom on the second floor, but to open the secret room you need Parseltongue, well, Parseltongue is one of the hallmarks of Slytherin heirs, don't look at me like that, no snakes There's no way a basilisk can control a basilisk."

"The secret room is in the abandoned girls' bathroom on the second floor?" Professor McGonagall repeated in disbelief.

"Yes, however, this matter is best handled by Professor Dumbledore. To be honest, I don't recommend that other professors break into the secret room rashly. It is very likely that they will die directly in the secret room. Basilisks are dangerous, especially It's its eyes, once it meets its eyes, it will die directly." Albert looked at Professor McGonagall and reminded softly, "Of course, I don't recommend you take my **** into the secret room, Slytherin. The heir of Slytherin has already suffered a loss~IndoMTL.com~ This kind of good thing can't be repeated again, so you'd better not take any chances, because the heir of Slytherin is also very dangerous, and it's not worth it if you die. ."

"Slytherin Heir" Professor McGonagall asked suspiciously, "Isn't that Ginny Weasley?"

"If I'm right, it's the one who killed Professor Quirrell last year," Albert said softly.

Professor McGonagall shivered and asked curiously, "How did you escape the attack?"

"It's very simple." Albert took out the time-turner from his pocket, looked at Professor McGonagall's shocked eyes, and smiled proudly, "He made the Basilisk chase me two corridors, and finally I had to Go back in time and get rid of the basilisk's pursuit."

"Why didn't I ask for help?"

Professor McGonagall asks his final question.

"Even if you encounter a basilisk without any defense, even Professor Dumbledore will be immediately killed by the basilisk's eyes." Albert reminded, "It's not that I don't trust the ability of the professors. , but I can't put them at risk."

Professor McGonagall shivered.

It's not hard to imagine what would happen if it did happen.

It's all thanks to Albert, otherwise the whole school really doesn't know what it would be like.

"Come with me, Mr. Anderson, I think Professor Dumbledore will be back at school soon, and then you will tell him what you know."

Professor McGonagall's tone softened, she knew Albert might be hiding something else, but none of that mattered.

Right now, solving the problem first is the most important thing.
