Rubik’s Cube of Heavens Chapter 140: Phoenix
Half a month after the Basilisk's first attack, another victim showed up the night after a Quidditch match.
Kewen was mastering spells in the 'House of Requirement' when suddenly a 'Guardian Messenger' rushed in, threw a note to him and disappeared.
Spreading out the note, there is only one word on it - infirmary.
Seeing this, Kewen put away his wand, turned and left the practice room, rushing all the way to the infirmary.
Not long after, I came to the infirmary. Inside, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were whispering beside a hospital bed.
Kewen looked at the hospital bed, then turned to look at the other hospital bed where someone was lying.
Combining the information in memory, Kewen understood the situation.
At this time, Dumbledore saw Kewen at the door, so he raised his hand and beckoned.
Dumbledore asked in a low voice when Kewen approached, "Son, do you still have a mature 'Mandela grass' there?"
Professor McGonagall added worriedly: "You also saw that Colin Creevey was also attacked and petrified like Mrs. Norris."
Kewen shook his head: "No, the 'Mandela grass' was the only one I bought before."
Professor McGonagall was very disappointed when he heard this, and sighed: "It should be the same, after all, the 'Mandela grass' is too dangerous, and not many people in the outside world will cultivate it."
"Then we can only wait." Dumbledore looked down at the petrified Colin Creevey and said softly, "But the 'Mandelagrass' in the academy may not be mature until the end of the period. ."
"What shall we do now?" Professor McGonagall asked Dumbledore somewhat helplessly.
After hearing this, Dumbledore turned his head slightly and looked at Harry, who was injured and hospitalized due to a Quidditch match on the hospital bed in the distance.
Raising the volume slightly, Dumbledore said, "Tell all the staff the truth is that the Academy is no longer safe, and as we feared, the Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened again."
Hearing this, Professor McGonagall was even more worried.
Not much longer, everyone quickly left the infirmary.
Professor McGonagall left to make some arrangements, while Dumbledore greeted Kewen and returned to the principal's office together.
Facing Kewen alone, Dumbledore showed some worried emotions. After sitting down, he made a cup of milk tea for Kewen, and then asked, "Child, do you have any ideas to adapt?"
"Indeed." Cowen nodded in response.
Dumbledore couldn't help but froze for a moment. He just mentioned it helplessly. He didn't expect Cowen to actually provide him with some surprises.
Regardless of whether Kewen's idea was useful or not, Dumbledore quickly sat up and urged, "What is it?"
"I have recently observed changes in the college."
Ke Wen held the milk tea cup and didn't drink it. He said directly: "Recently, the spiders in the castle have been fleeing. Even if they have to face the severe cold weather outside, they must escape the castle."
"Also." Cowan continued: "I heard that there is some situation on Mr. Hagrid's side, and the roosters he keeps are constantly being mutilated."
After hearing this, Dumbledore began to consider the information provided by Cowen, but unfortunately, he could not come up with any results for a while.
Seeing this, Kewen reminded: "You know my memory, so both cases are related to the content of a book."
"Which book?" Dumbledore gave up thinking and asked directly: "What is the content?"
“The Greek Natural History.”
Kewen said, took out his wand and swung it in the air.
Immediately, a small patch of phantom brilliance appeared, finally forming a scene showing the contents of a book page.
"The Basilisk..." Dumbledore murmured in surprise after reading the content projected by Kewen.
The next moment, Dumbledore came back to his senses, and then successfully connected all the situations.
"So... so it is!"
Suddenly stood up, and after pacing back and forth a few times, Dumbledore said happily, "Very good boy! Thank you! You really helped us!"
I couldn't wait, and Dumbledore, who had learned the details, planned to leave overnight to prepare something.
So after some hasty explanations to Kewen, he left the academy through the fireplace in the principal's room.
The next day, Cowen did not see Dumbledore all day.
Dumbledore didn't reappear until the dinner party, his expression much more relaxed.
…
The weekend two days later is Dumbledore's one-on-one tutoring time for Kewen.
When Ke Wen entered the principal's office, he was stunned for a moment, because in this office he was already very familiar with, there was one more thing now.
It was a bird stand with an ugly phoenix standing on it. It looked like he was suffering from a serious illness.
At this time, Dumbledore, who heard Cowen's greeting, appeared on the second floor. After seeing Cowen's strange eyes, he said with a smile, "That's Fox."
"Fox?"
Because Dumbledore was far upstairs and the pronunciation was a little vague, Cowen didn't understand that ~IndoMTL.com~ was Fox. "
Dumbledore repeated with a laugh.
This time Kewen heard it clearly, and suddenly smiled and said, "Is this a phoenix or an oriental phoenix?"
"It's the phoenix." Dumbledore walked down the stairs and came to the phoenix and said apologetically: "It's approaching the moment of rebirth, but I have to disturb it and ask him to help in the academy."
Kewen nodded understandingly.
Although neither dragons nor phoenixes in today's magical world are mythical creatures, their personalities in the magical creature category are still apex.
Although Kewen didn't want to admit that the Fox in front of him was a phoenix, there was no problem with using it to suppress the basilisk.
The two chatted for a while before Dumbledore began teaching...
In the days that followed, except for Dumbledore and Cowan, everyone else still seemed uneasy.
Dumbledore was quite prepared, but he didn't tell anyone else about it.
Cowen asked why.
Dumbledore's answer is that what he really wants to hide is not the professor in the college, but someone else. He is preparing to fish, and he will use this college crisis to catch a big fish. .
Combining the memory of the plot in his mind, Kewen suddenly realized that Dumbledore was dealing with the Malfoy family, one of the directors of the academy.
Lucius Malfoy is the source of the basilisk in the Academy this year.
It was the notebook that the other party secretly stuffed one of Voldemort's Horcruxes to Ron's sister Ginny Weasley before school started.
After that, the remnant in the Horcrux bewitched and controlled Ginny, thus opening the secret room in the castle and releasing the basilisk...
