Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 101 Dumbledore’s tricks

"Huh...huh...Professor Dumbledore, please wait!"

Finally, after the back-to-school dinner, Avada managed to catch up with Dumbledore before he returned to the principal's office, avoiding the awkward process of trying the passwords one by one under the stone beast's death gaze.

"Mr. Ken? Do you have anything to do with me?"

Dumbledore looked at the panting Avada with some surprise. For a moment, he didn't understand what could make him come to him so anxiously. Then he waved his hand and opened the passage to the principal's office: "Let's talk after we go in."

"Thank you so much, Professor."

Avada followed Dumbledore into the familiar principal's office. After drinking a glass of water and gradually regaining her breath, Avada said seriously: "Professor, during the time when school was about to start, I saw some more Pieces of the future.”

"oh?"

Dumbledore also suddenly became serious: "What did you see? Mr. Ken?"

"I saw... a huge snake, swimming somewhere in Hogwarts. It has sharp fangs and eyes that can turn people to stone or even kill them directly. It will wake up this year and attack students. …”

"and,"

He interrupted Dumbledore who was about to say something and continued: "When I tried to explore the reason why the monster appeared in Hogwarts, I could only see a blurry image-a black cover. A blank notebook."

"The black notebook, and the huge venomous snake with eyes that can kill people..."

"I understand, Mr. Ken, thank you very much for the reminder."

Dumbledore frowned and thought for a long time. When Avada almost couldn't help calling him, he finally raised his head and solemnly thanked him.

"The snake you saw should be a basilisk - an ultra-rare magical animal with a danger level of I will investigate the notebook matter as soon as possible. Allow me to thank you again, Mr. Ken... you may have saved this school again."

As he spoke, Dumbledore's expression relaxed: "But since we know this information in advance, we don't have to worry too much... You may not know that creatures like the Basilisk have a very obvious weakness. That's because it's afraid of the rooster's crow, which is fatal to it..."

"So you're going to have a bunch of chickens at school, Professor?"

Avada asked curiously while imagining that scene...

If a student accidentally hurts a chicken, will he be attacked by a large group of chickens? Or be hunted by all the professors in the school?

"That's not necessary. That would disrupt the normal teaching order, and maybe even cause panic..."

Dumbledore smiled and replied: "My plan is to add a few roosters to each oil painting and let them crow from time to time to ensure that the rooster's crow can cover every corner of the school... I As a principal, it’s not too much to add a few chickens to the school’s oil painting, right?”

"..."

Avada was silent, this was a path he had never imagined.

The oil painting covers almost every corridor and every room in the school, so the corresponding roosters will also spread throughout the school in this way. The teachers and students at the school would only think that it was Dumbledore's daily routine, which would not cause the slightest speculation or panic, and the chicken in the oil painting could not be killed like in the original work... It is difficult to imagine that the basilisk should be killed. How to survive this year.

Hope something happens to the snake.

"Sounds pretty safe, Professor." Avada praised.

"Thank you for the compliment... Well, it's getting late, and you should go back and rest. You don't need to worry about the basilisk and the notebook anymore. Just leave it to me, the principal, to handle it."

With Dumbledore's guarantee and the no-survival insurance measure, Avada's heart was more than halfway broken, and there was only one last thing left to do...

"Harry, Harry!"

At noon the next day, Avada successfully intercepted Harry who was walking side by side with Ron and Hermione in the flow of people heading to the cafeteria: "Can you come with me? I need your help with something... "

"I?"

Harry was stunned.

"Are you in trouble? Is there anything we can do to help?" Ron and Hermione also asked doubtfully, but Avada declined with a smile: "Oh, no. I'm looking for Harry to talk to him about. It’s related to the characteristics of the body, it won’t take long, it should be finished in a while…”

"Oh well."

Ron nodded and said to Harry, "Then we'll wait for you in the cafeteria."

"Thanks...let's go then, Ken."

While saying goodbye to Ron and Hermione, Harry followed Avada's footsteps and asked curiously: "What happened this time? Ken? And does it have anything to do with my characteristics? Is it Voldemort again... …”

"I can't say for sure."

Avada shook her head, said no more, and silently led Harry to the door of the abandoned bathroom on the third floor: "This is it."

"Is this...the women's bathroom?" Harry looked at Avada hesitantly.

"Yeah, that's right."

Avada also felt that it was unreasonable for two boys, herself and Harry, to break into the women's restroom in broad daylight, so she took out her wand and tapped her and Harry's shoulders respectively, casting a disguise spell on the two of them: "That's enough, let's go in."

Harry:…

In the end, he was pulled into the abandoned bathroom by Avada, and the disillusionment spell was removed. Then under his instruction, he squinted his eyes and found the little snake carved on the sink...

"Say 'open' to it."

"What?" Harry looked confused.

"I suspect there is something hidden here, just do it first."

"Uh...open?"

Harry tentatively said - in normal English.

"You have to try to imagine it's a real snake..."

Avada twisted her arms to imitate the snake's movements: "Imagine it coming to life, crawling like this in a twisted way, spitting messages at you, looking at you, waiting for your instructions... and then say to it 'Open'."

"..."

Harry was silent for a long time, staring at the little snake for a while, then his lips moved, and finally let out a cold hiss that was not like a human voice...

no response.

‘How could this happen...there really is no secret room in this world? Just a parallel world that is very similar to the original work? ’

Under Harry's doubtful gaze, Avada frowned and thought about something quickly. Then he walked slowly to the toilet, leaned over and gently knocked on the toilet seat: "Myrtle, are you there?"

A translucent ghost suddenly jumped out of the toilet, startling Harry. She stared at Avada's face, her mouth tightened, and she was about to cry...

"I want to ask you, how did you die?"

Avada interrupted Myrtle's charge in time, causing her expression to calm down again.

"Oh, you asked this, I thought you were here to throw stones at me..."

She said in a brisk tone, and Harry couldn't help but be surprised that a ghost was willing to mention the cause of his death so actively: "I was hiding in this bathroom crying alone, and then suddenly felt dizzy, and then opened my eyes, I just found myself turning into a ghost!”

"...Is that all?"

Avada asked tentatively: "Did you see anything else? Like a pair of huge eyes or something..."

"Hey, where are these messy things?"

Myrtle said with a look of disdain: "You must have heard some ghost story somewhere, a stupid student who was so scared that he couldn't sleep at night? Let me tell you, back then I..."

"Okay, okay, I understand, thank you for your information..."

Avada quickly pulled Harry out of the bathroom, with a hint of relaxation and doubt in her eyes.
