On Monday morning, everyone panicked, and even the professors were caught off guard.

Colin Creevey, the super fan of Harry Potter, the first-year freshman who took pictures of Harry with a camera all day was attacked, and now he is lying in the hospital like a dead man, with specific symptoms , you can refer to Filch's cat - Mrs. Norris.

Immediately, rumors swirled in the school, and everyone became suspicious. The first-year freshmen now have to move around in groups of three or four. Even when they go to the bathroom, they go together as a group. This is no longer a girl's privilege.

Hermione and the others were also very surprised, because it has been a long time since Mrs. Norris was attacked, almost a month. When everyone lowered their vigilance, they did not expect the second attack to occur. Once the victim even directly became a human being.

If it's really man-made, it's too bad for so long, no matter how many conflicts there are in normal times, but they are always classmates, if it is Mrs. Norris, it can also be hated because it helps Filch arrest students who violate school rules , If you want to take revenge, then when you rise to the person now, the nature will change.

It's a crime, and it's the same in the wizarding and Muggle world.

It's a pity that there are still no traces left by the murderer, and there are not even any witnesses, which makes the progress of the investigation very unsatisfactory.

During this time, without telling the teacher, everyone chattered and exchanged amulets, exorcism items, and other things that were said to protect them. The practice soon spread across the school, and Neville Longbottom bought a big stinking green onion, a pointy amethyst and a rotting salamander tail, and soon of course rootland The other boys in Fendor tell him that he's not actually in danger because he's pure blood and won't be attacked.

Hermione and other Muggle-born people received a lot of strange looks, some gloated about their misfortune, and some avoided it. In short, many people now think that they will be unlucky, and many people who are not familiar with Hermione even avoid it. Open Hermione and the others, for fear of being implicated.

Hermione complained about this incident to Qing Zhang, and her original words were like this, "Those guys probably never thought about the pure blood they are talking about now, it is not the same as it was hundreds of years ago! ?”

"I hope they can still laugh when the time comes!"

Obviously Hermione was somewhat annoyed.

Fortunately, the other friends didn't change too much because of this. Instead, they huddled together to keep warm, regardless of whether they were Muggle-born or not!

However, there is still an interesting thing that happened, that is, Qing Zhang suddenly had a lot of customers, and they all came to him to buy Xia Guo's exorcism items. Both the peace talisman and the gossip mirror are unprecedentedly popular, which is rare It has driven the performance of some stores in Chinatown, but there are some useless owls.

What's more interesting is that Qiu Zhang, the third-year senior sister of Lachven Law, who has the same surname as Qing Zhang, also found Qing Zhang to buy those items.

Of course, Qing Zhang dared to sell it because he had indeed opened up those safety charms and the like. At least if he really encountered a basilisk, he could resist it. , I am afraid that Qing Zhang will offend many people, so naturally he will not do this.

The reason why he sells it is not because he lacks money, but because he doesn't want other people to buy it through other channels, and finally find out that it is a lie, so that his motherland will be infamy for no reason.

In fact, it's not that Qing Zhang didn't think about catching the basilisk during this period of time, but unfortunately the other party would never appear near where he was, and seemed to be very afraid of Qing Zhang's appearance, so Qing Zhang had no choice.

You can't break into the women's bathroom, it's very troublesome to be seen, and you have to speak Parseltongue, just this Qing Zhang can't, you can learn foreign languages, but there is no need to learn foreign languages, really unnecessary.

Of course, even if Qing Zhang could speak Parseltongue, he wouldn't want to drill into that smelly and dirty sewer, and I don't know what Salazar Slytherin thought. Setting the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets in that place is a bit perverted!

As for using space ability to enter, it is possible, but the entire Hogwarts castle is in a large-scale magic system, which is a whole. If the space is forcibly interfered, it may cause problems for Hogwarts. Once the magic power becomes chaotic Now, maybe all the students inside will suffer. This is not to solve the trouble, but to create bigger trouble. Of course, Qing Zhang will not do this. He is not Harry and Ron who can't do things but their brains .

In the second week of December, the deans of the various colleges came to collect the list of students who planned to stay in the school for Christmas as usual.

In fact, except for Harry and Ron, almost no students are willing to stay in school, not because they miss their home so much, but because the murderer has not been caught so far, so that students are afraid to stay.

Even the professors, who had stepped up patrols at night, did not let the students let go of their worries.

Professor McGonagall and the others are well aware of this, and the other professors also hope that the students will not be there at this time, so that they can check the school carefully to see if there is really any secret room.

The reason why they didn't do this before was not because they didn't want to do it, but because they didn't dare to do it. Otherwise, if they were seen by the students, it would be tantamount to the affirmative remote authenticity, proving that the secret room does exist, and the Few students might sneak into the secret passage to die, and it also put an end to the idea of ​​the professors looking for it. God knows if they will walk into the secret passage with their front feet, and some students will sneak in behind them.

So when Professor McGonagall saw Harry and Ron signing their plans to stay in school, although there was nothing on her face, she could tell from her complicated eyes that she really wanted to persuade them to go home.

However, as the responsibility of the professor and dean, she couldn't say it out loud.

What's worse, because Ron stayed in school, the other children of the Weasley family also chose to stay in school, and all of Weasley's children were Gryffindor students, which made Professor McGonagall very sad. I feel so bad that I want to write to Mrs. Weasley and ask her to take away her children.

In fact, the sad thing is not only the fact that the murderer has not been found, but also the fact that Mrs. Norris and Colin have not been cured so far. It should not have been delayed for so long, especially Lori. Mrs. Silk, should have returned to Filch's place alive and well, and let Filch stare at the students all day long.

But one is that they don’t know what exactly attacked Colin and the others, and the other is that they don’t know what kind of magic or curse it is, so Ms. Pomfrey can’t prescribe the right medicine. It’s useless to send them to St. Bargo’s Hospital.

In fact, what they didn't know at this time was that even if they knew it was caused by the basilisk, it was useless. The medicine to solve the petrification of the basilisk itself contained mandrakes, but the third greenhouse in the school is now full of juveniles. In the early days, it could not be used as medicine at all, and mandrake, as a very dangerous magical plant, did not need private cultivation at all, so there was not much circulation in the market.

0 looking for flowers......

Even if there is, it is very expensive and not worth it at all. Of course, when saving people, no matter how much money you have to pay, but this antidote needs fresh mandrakes, which cannot be processed in advance. This is where the real trouble starts.

So whether it is Mrs. Norris or Colin, they can only wait for the Mandrake in Hogwarts to mature before leaving the hospital bed.

However, no one knows that it was caused by the basilisk, and because the victim has not heard the news of recovery, the students are panicked.

A week later, when Qing Zhang and the others were passing through the hall, they found a group of people gathered around the bulletin board, reading a piece of parchment that had just been nailed up, and they all moved over curiously, as long as Hermione They were curious that Qing Zhang was being dragged there.

"Duel Club!?" Hermione looked at the content above with some puzzlement, and read the unfamiliar words.

"Don't worry about what this is first, you see, it was founded and hosted by Professor Lockhart, I don't think you would want to participate..." Qing Zhang pointed to the last signature on the parchment, and let Xiao Friends, don't ignore it.

0

After two or three months of getting along with each other, even the most unbelieving people will understand that Lockhart is unreliable. The troubles he caused alone cannot be counted on one hand. How miserable Harry has been tossed , even anyone with eyes can see it.

Qing Zhang feels that before you get curious, you should read this first, and then consider whether to go in and learn more.

..." Hermione and the others fell silent after hearing the sound and looking in the direction of Qing Zhang's finger.

There is no reason, it is simply fear of death.

They really believe that Lockhart is indeed a very good adventurer, because just looking at his destructive power, they don't think he will encounter trouble and danger in the wild. But teaching students, this is indeed a clumsy hand.

He can't teach at all!

Yes, Hermione and the others have not doubted it until now, it is precisely because Lockhart has shown too many spells with terrifying power. If you say he is not strong, he is very strong, so how could he be a liar!?

"Forget it, I don't think I have the talent for dueling." Ernie waved his hand cowardly to express that he didn't want to participate.

The same was true for Justin and the others. They were afraid that they hadn't learned any real kung fu. They were already on the way to the crematorium, so they didn't even need to go to the hospital.

Luna even shook her head and said that she is only a first-year freshman, and the concubine can't do it! Don't look at her!

Hermione was a little reconciled, and she was equally afraid of her needs, but if other people participated and she didn't go, she was worried that she would be left behind, which she couldn't tolerate.

After biting her thumb and being silent for a while, Hermione's eyes suddenly lit up, she turned her head to look at Qing Zhang and said, "By the way, the Room of Requirement, we can go there to practice by ourselves, and don't we have a ready-made good teacher! ?”

Qing Zhang is definitely stronger than Lockhart, at least in terms of teaching, and with his talent, it is impossible to be weak in duels. With his guidance, it will definitely be effective.

The eyes of the others brightened, but after Hannah was pleasantly surprised, she asked, "What is the Room of Requirement!?"

Seeing this, Hermione led everyone to a place where no one was around, and said in a low voice, "Actually, it was the last time Qing Zhang took me there, and I didn't know that it was………………"
