"Stop being alarmist here!"

Several young wizards, including Hermione, were all panicked by Draco's words.

"I'm just stating the facts." Draco said with a mysterious expression. "It is said that when the secret room is opened, a terrible monster will come out of it, and then purify the school, that is, clear it out."

All Muggleborns in the school."

"How does this sound like something you pure-blood supreme families would do? Could the so-called heir be you?"

Hermione glanced at Draco indifferently. Due to the frequent cooperation in the dungeon in the past two years, the relationship between them was no longer as tense as when they were freshmen. It was now clear that Draco was joking.

"Don't label me randomly, I'm a pragmatist now!" Draco shook his head disapprovingly, "But don't take my warning seriously. If the secret room really appears,

We are all in trouble."

"What are you afraid of!" Ron snorted coldly, "With Principal Dumbledore and Professor Wilson in the school, how much trouble can the so-called heir create?"

Indeed, because of Anduin's presence, although the young wizards at the scene were a little nervous about the so-called secret room and the heir, if they were really afraid, that was not the case.

In fact, not only them, but even Draco, who was still alarmist just now, didn't feel that the so-called secret room would pose much of a threat to everyone.

Even at this point, they were still doubting whether Anduin was responsible for all this. After all, they had experienced this kind of story like the cry of wolf more than once.

While several people were still chattering about the secret room, McGonagall and Snape also arrived at the scene.

And when they saw the words on the wall clearly, their faces tightened.

"Prefects of each college, please lead your people away from the scene quickly." McGonagall shouted in agreement, dispersed the crowd, and then carefully removed Mrs. Norris from the torch.

"Professor, is the secret room mentioned above real?" Hermione couldn't help but ask after seeing McGonagall's expression was wrong.

"The specific situation needs to be determined after investigation. You should leave first and don't cause trouble to Miss Granger." McGonagall responded with a serious expression. It was obvious that she couldn't make up her mind now.

After seeing the attitude shown by the professors, the secret room finally attracted everyone's attention. Does the secret room really exist?

After driving all the little wizards away, Mag carefully checked the condition of Mrs. Norris, and soon her face became more and more ugly.

"Is the problem serious?" Snape stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

"Well, it is a very advanced black magic. It is not something that a young wizard can do. Only high-level magic potions can dispel it." Magdu muttered, and then looked at Snape in confusion, "Where's Anduin?"

?Where did he go?"

Not only the little wizard, but also Professor McGonagall immediately suspected Anduin when encountering such an unexpected situation. This guy always makes people worry.

"He said that Silver Flash Trading Company had urgent matters to deal with, and he left this morning." Snape raised his eyebrows, "You suspect it was him..."

"What if?" McGonagall rolled her eyes, "Have you forgotten the Dark Mark last year? Or do you really believe in such nonsense as the Chamber of Secrets?"

After last year's 'Death Eater Invasion War', many professors, including McGonagall, have developed a strong immunity to this unknown danger. In other words, everyone has instinctively combined all bizarre events with

Anduin tied together.

Although she had heard the legend of the secret room and knew it was true.

But McGonagall knew more about the inside story. Since Anduin joined Hogwarts, he had upgraded a complete security system. If someone really caused trouble in the school, she would definitely receive a corresponding alert.

It can be said that Hogwarts is not much worse than Azkaban and Gringotts now. Even if Voldemort comes, you have to live with your tail between your legs.

In this case, if you say that the monster in the secret room appears, how can she believe it?

"Yes..." Snape nodded in agreement, "A mysterious secret room and heir suddenly appeared. It's really suspicious. I'll contact him and ask him about it."

After saying that, Snape took out a communicator, which was a special item given to him by Anduin. It could even break through the limitations of the Magic Network for ultra-long-distance communication. After a while, Anduin's face appeared among several people.

before.

In the picture, they could see that the background where Anduin was standing at this time was actually broad daylight, which meant that the other party's location at this time might be on the other side of the earth.

"What's the matter, Severus? I'm busy with important things here. Super long-distance communication consumes a lot of magic power."

The signal for this kind of communication beyond the coverage of the Magic Network seems not to be good, and Anduin's voice also seems to be louder and softer.

"Stop talking about it." Although Snape was a little curious about the other party's position, he went straight to the point, "The secret room and the so-called heir were a trick you made, right?"

"Ah? Was it so easy to guess? I obviously asked Hogg to find a way to make it more real." Anduin didn't hesitate when he heard this and admitted it directly.

"What are you kidding about again?" Seeing that it was just as she expected, Mag couldn't help but put her head in front of the screen, "Do you know how much commotion you are going to cause? Those little wizards are very suspicious now.

We were almost scared to death."

"Is it just suspicion?" Anduin seemed dissatisfied with the result. "I thought it would convince them that the secret room is real."

"Did you find the secret room?" Mag seemed to hear the other party's subtext, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Um……"

Anduin on the screen glanced left and right to make sure there was no one around.

Then he leaned in front of the screen and whispered, "I caught a basilisk in the secret room. I put it back before I came out. Although I don't know exactly what happened today, but nothing unexpected happened.

That's probably what it did."

"What?" McGonagall almost went crazy when she heard Anduin's words, "Do you know what you are talking about? How can such a dangerous creature as the Basilisk be released into the school at will? Aren't you afraid that something will happen to the little wizard? Basilisk

The sight is deadly."

"Don't be so nervous..." Anduin sneered nonchalantly, "Don't worry, the basilisk has been treated. It's not fatal. At most, it can only turn people to stone. And Hogg is watching.

, nothing big will happen.”

"Isn't this a big deal?" McGonagall glared at Anduin with some complaints, "That's not good. You must put that basilisk away quickly, otherwise you will scare the little wizards."

"But I just want to scare them..." Anduin shrugged with an innocent expression, "Professor McGonagall, this is an exercise I specially prepared for this school year. I usually can't find such a good subject.

"

"Practice? Use a basilisk to practice? This is too exaggerated." Mag rolled his eyes, feeling ridiculous, "Also, how can you guarantee that those little wizards will believe such ridiculous things? They have been fooled more than once.

Similar 'dangers' have been teased before."

"Then we need your cooperation, Professor McGonagall." Anduin squinted his eyes and smiled, "As long as you show enough attention in the following events, they will definitely believe it."

"Ah? Why do we collude with you to trick those students?" Mag showed an incredible expression.

"Professor McGonagall..." Anduin said in a low voice, "You should also be able to tell that since experiencing the baptism of the copy, those young wizards have been a little... impetuous, or arrogant, recently."

"It's not you who caused it." Mag curled his lips dissatisfied.

"But I have to admit that they are making rapid progress, right?" Anduin grinned. "As far as I know, even lower-grade students can now master the transformation skills of higher-grade students."

Mag couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this. The fact was exactly as Anduin said, the growth rate of the students now can be described as rapid.

Especially the Transfiguration Technique she teaches. Because of this flexible magic, it plays an extremely important tactical role in the battlefield dungeon. Now everyone's enthusiasm for learning Transfiguration Technique is extremely high.

So strictly speaking, she also had a lot of credit for Anduin.

"But rapid progress can easily produce negative effects. If you are not careful, you will breed complacency." Speaking of this, Anduin also became serious, "So we have to find a way to suppress their arrogance and make students feel at ease."

Dividing some will help future management, right?"

"This... what's your opinion, Severus?"

Mag found that she couldn't seem to convince Anduin, or that she had gradually agreed with him in her heart, but she couldn't make up her mind immediately. It was not a trivial matter to let a basilisk roam in the school, so she could only ask for help.

Looked at Snape next to him.

But Snape's eyes actually shone at this time, "I have long wanted to take care of those brats, but they are becoming more and more reckless now, and they don't take the professor seriously at all."

Hey! Why do you look so expectant? That's a basilisk! McGonagall glanced at Snape speechlessly, but in the end she could only shake her head helplessly.

"Okay, but you must know the right measure." When McGonagall saw Snape's eagerness to try, she knew she couldn't stop him.

"Don't worry, Principal Dumbledore and I have already cleared our throats."

"It turns out he knew it a long time ago." McGonagall was obviously dissatisfied with Dumbledore for not informing her in advance.

But soon she said seriously, "But what do you mean by asking us to cooperate?"

"It's very simple." Anduin smiled, "As long as you act serious about the secret room, and there are attacks that occur from time to time, those little wizards will definitely be scared."

"There's still an attack?" Mag frowned unbearably, "Isn't this too..."

"It won't hurt them to suffer a little." Snape next to him didn't feel burdened by this, but sneered, "I'm already looking forward to the expressions of those brats."

"Don't say so much, this matter won't last long." Anduin also looked very calm, "I will return to Hogwarts after Christmas, and I have to rely on your support during this period.

Let’s perform.”

After a few casual instructions, Anduin hung up the communication, which made Mag feel helpless. What's going on? She was obviously planning to launch an attack to investigate, but now she became an accomplice.

While McGonagall was secretly complaining, several prefects returned to the scene after escorting the students back to their respective common rooms. As assistants to the professors, they needed to be on call at any time.

Of course, many of them wanted to find out more about the professor because of the curiosity and instigation of their classmates.

"Professor McGonagall." Percy took the lead and pointed to the writing on the wall, "How should we deal with these? Has the other perpetrator been found? Who is responsible for the prank?"

"Ahem..."

After hearing this, Mag quickly adjusted his posture and put on a serious expression.

"Erase these words on the wall and clean up the corridor quickly. As for today's matter, don't ask any more questions or discuss it. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Percy responded honestly, but seeing that Professor McGonagall never mentioned the perpetrator and acted so nervous, he couldn't help but ask his doubts in the end, "Professor, is it the legendary secret room?"

Is it true? Could something similar happen in the future?"

"Hey..." McGonagall pretended to sigh, "Before Anduin comes back, we can't judge in vain. You have recently asked the students to pay attention and try not to act alone. In addition, the curfew time has been advanced by one hour.

, I will assign a task to you later and organize a patrol team to cooperate with the professor to thoroughly search the school."

"Is it so serious?" All the prefects were shocked when they heard this, and Percy even asked urgently, "Isn't Professor Wilson in the school?"

"He has important matters and needs to leave for a while." Mag frowned, looking worried, "Let's all leave now. Remember, take care of the students in their respective colleges, especially those who like to cause trouble.

"

"Yes, Professor." The prefects responded loudly, and then hurriedly left the scene.

As for whether what Mag told them would reach the ears of those young wizards, the answer is naturally yes.

Nice romance

After confirming that everyone was gone, McGonagall looked at Snape with great interest, "They shouldn't be able to tell what I did just now, right?"

"Uh... very good." Snape smiled speechlessly, "But did you step in too quickly?"

Snape really didn't expect that Professor McGonagall, who was still hesitant at first, would get into the mood so quickly. And why did he feel that she was looking forward to it more than him?

Sure enough, Professor McGonagall is also full of bad taste deep in her heart...
