Chapter 69: Haze

"The Basilisk's eyes look at anyone, and they will die. But none of them die here-because none of them directly looks at it!"
When he said that, Harry looked at the sheet of paper urgently again, and the more he felt, the more he felt brighter.
"The rooster's cry is also deadly to it!" He read aloud, "Hagrid's roosters have been killed! Once the chamber is opened, Slytherin's heir would never want a rooster near the castle!"
"How can a basilisk crawl around?" Ron said, "an ugly snake, someone will surely see it!"
Harry pointed to the scribbled words under the piece of paper.
管 "Pipe!" He said, "Ron, it has been moving in the pipe. I always hear that voice inside the wall ..."
Ron grabbed Harry by the arm.
"The entrance to the secret room!" He said hoarsely, "Maybe it's in a bathroom? Maybe it's--"
"The crying Myrtle's bathroom!" Harry said.
"That means," Harry said. "In this school, it's not just me who knows the snakeskin. Slytherin's heirs also know so they can always control the basilisk."
哦 "Oh, yes ..." Ron was excited for a while, but then changed into an angry and feeble expression.
"Yes, but what can we do even if we know this ... I think we have to go to Professor McGonagall."
对 "Yes, let's go to the faculty lounge," Harry said, and it started to rain. "She'll be there in ten minutes, and class will soon be over."
"No matter who the heir is, it's not wrong to act first!" Harry said firmly.
He said, they hurried down the stairs.
They didn't want Professor McGonagall to find them wandering in another corridor, and went straight into the empty staff room.
This is a large room surrounded by wooden boards, filled with black wooden chairs. Harry and Ron were pacing inside, unable to sit down with excitement.
However, the bell for the end of the class never sounded.
Instead, Professor McGonagall's voice echoed in the corridor, magnified many times by magic.
"All students return to the dormitory of their college immediately, all teachers return to the staff room! Please act now!"
Harry turned sharply, glaring at Ron.
"Did something happen again? At this time?"
"Maca! It must be him!" Ron said, "I'm going to find him!"
不要 "Don't just draw a conclusion casually, Ron." Harry said, looking around.
He has an unsightly closet on his left, which is full of robes the teacher wears in class.
"Hide here. Let's hear what's going on, and then tell them what we found."
They hid in the closet, and heard the footsteps of hundreds of people walking upstairs. Then the door of the staff room was pushed open. Harry and Ron looked at the teachers who came into the room through the layers of robes smelling musty, and some looked confused and some scared.
Then Professor McGonagall arrived.
"Another incident happened again," she said to the silent teachers in the room. "A student was taken away by a monster. He was taken directly into the back room."
Professor Friewe screamed, and Professor Sprout covered his mouth with both hands.
Snape clutched the back of a chair tightly and asked, "How can you be sure?"
"Heir of Slytherin," said Professor McGonagall, who was very pale. "There is another line left. Just below the last passage, it read: Her bones will remain in the back room forever."
Professor Flitwick couldn't help crying.
"Who is it?" Madam Huo Qi softened her knees and slumped in a chair. "Which student?"
"Ginny Weasley," Professor McGonagall said.
Harry felt Ron silently fall beside him on the floor of the closet.
"We must send all our students home tomorrow," Professor McGonagall said. "That's all for Hogwarts. Dumbledore used to say ..."
The door of the magistrate's lounge was knocked open again.
Ron, slumped on the bottom of the closet, even thought it was Maca, but it turned out to be Lockhart, with a smile on his face.
"Sorry, I'm late ..."
He didn't seem to notice that the other teachers were staring at him with a kind of hatred.
Snape took a step forward.
"The problem solver is here," he said, "that's the man. Lockhart, a girl was captured by the monster. Bringed into the back room-the time has finally come for you to show glory."
He thought that Lockhart would be panicked because of this, but to his surprise, Lockhart still maintained his bright and calm expression.
"Yes, of course ... I'll go to the office to prepare." Lockhart left the faculty's lounge with a smile in the eyes of the professors.
Uh ...
洛 When Lockhart hurried back to the third floor and pushed open the door of his office, the smile on his face collapsed immediately.
"Oh my God!" He closed the office door and walked toward the desk. "Do you really want me to go to the back room to deal with that scary basilisk ... I mean, since you already knew me Secret ... "
"In fact, I don't want to."
Leaning on the armchair near the desk, an expressionless teenager was leaning on the back. The cuff of his left arm was rolled up, and there was a large abrasion on the forearm, and now he was faintly bleeding.
少年 The boy held a ball of cotton wool with tweezers in his right hand, and was dipped in a pale green liquid to apply medicine to his wound!
"You also saw that the basilisk is really not easy to deal with, and finally let it slip away."
"But Professor Lockhart, you don't have to worry too much. Although the basilisk can slow down the growth rate by dormancy, it does not stop growing after all," said the young man. "It is too old, and it still suffers a minor injury now. Even one eye is blind, there is no danger. "
"... Isn't this a novel material delivered to your door?"
Lockhart nodded hard, but muttered again, "Isn't that still an eye ..."
At this moment, the boy put the tweezers in his hand on the table, took out a roll of bandage and wrapped it around his arm, he said as he wrapped it.
"I will follow, I need experimental materials, and you need novel materials, isn't it right?" He said, "You don't need to do anything, you don't need to read a spell to achieve the goal. Is this better? "
"Okay, okay! Even if you don't say so much, I have to do it ..." Lockhart shook his head and said, "It's hard to believe that you are only in second grade this year."
只要 "As long as you focus enough," the boy put his sleeves down, and then looked up at Lockhart. "Your forgotten spell must be master, isn't it?"
"But you haven't blocked it yet."
The juvenile came to the door and opened the door of the office.
因为 "Because I focus on magic, and you focus on speculation."
He said, he left quickly.
Lockhart looked at the slowly closing office door, and murmured, "Maka McLean ... McLean, is this an old family of pure blood wizards? Why doesn't it seem to have been heard?"
Uh ...
At this moment, the deans of each college are going to inform the students what happened. This had to tell them that the Hogwarts Express would take them home tomorrow morning.
Other teachers should make sure that one student is not allowed to stay outside the dormitory.
The teachers stood up and left one by one.
This is probably the hardest day of Harry's life. He, Ron, Fred, and George sat in a corner of the Gryffindor common room, and no one could say a word. Percy was absent. He sent an owl to Mrs. Weasley, and then locked himself in the dormitory.
I never had an afternoon that was as slow as it is today, and the Gryffindor House had never looked so crowded and silent as it is now.
的 When the sun was about to go down, Fred and George couldn't sit still anymore, and went back to the dorm to sleep.
"Ginny must know something, Harry." Ron said, this was the first time he talked after they hid in the closet's closet ~ EbookFREE.me ~ so she was arrested ... at all It has nothing to do with Percy's stupid things. She must have discovered something related to the back room ... maybe she met Maca! It must be so that's why she— "
Ron rubbed his eyes desperately, and his face gradually grew angry again. "I mean, she is a pure-blood, and she can't be her turn at all! There can be no other reason for this!"
Harry could see the sun red like blood, sinking below the horizon.
He's never been as sad as he is now. Even if they can do something. No matter what.
"Harry," said Ron, "you said, is she probably not there yet-you know-"
Harry looked at Ron for a while, then lost his frustration, and for a moment didn't know what to say.
Although Harry always felt that he couldn't easily doubt his friends without evidence. But all the behaviors of Marka this semester were really suspicious, which made him have a feeling of boredom.
"I think we should go to Lockhart and tell him what we know." Ron said suddenly, "Isn't he going to enter the back room? We can tell him where we think the back room is and tell him the back room. It's a basilisk! "
Harry couldn't think of anything else, but he wanted to do something, and nodded in agreement with Ron's proposal.
学生 The Gryffindor students around them were all sad and sad for the Weasley brothers, so when Harry and Ron got up through the room and made portrait holes, no one tried to stop them.
他们 As they went downstairs to Lockhart's office, they noticed that the hallway had become a little dark.
The night has come ...
