Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 28 Basilisk

Ethan was fascinated by studying the Animagus when a silver-white phoenix flew in from Ethan's window. It was Dumbledore's patron saint phoenix. Dumbledore's voice came from the phoenix's mouth: "Eh? Sen, please come to the medical wing quickly, there is an emergency."

After hearing this, Ethan quickly got up and rushed to the medical wing. When Ethan entered the medical room, many professors had gathered inside. Dumbledore was hurriedly playing with a smoking camera, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.

Professors Flitwick and McGonagall were frowning around a bed. Ethan approached the bed and found a little Gryffindor wizard lying on the bed.

A ray of moonlight shone on the stunned face, that of Colin Creevey. His eyes were wide open and his hands were stretched out in front of his chest, still holding the camera.

"He also has a bunch of grapes with him. I guess he wants to sneak here to see Potter." Professor McGonagall said. Professor McGonagall's voice was a little hoarse. After saying this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she dipped her handkerchief in her eyes. Touching the corners of his eyes.

Dumbledore finally gave up the idea of ​​repairing the camera. He put the camera on the table and said seriously to the other professors at the scene: "Hogwarts is facing a crisis!" Dumbledore's blue eyes were serious. He glanced at the professors in the medical room.

"Just now, the second attack happened. A first-year student was petrified, just like Mrs. Norris." Dumbledore paused, then spoke again: "The Chamber of Secrets has really been opened!"

Professor McGonagall covered her mouth in surprise. Although Professor McGonagall already had the worst suspicion in her mind, Professor McGonagall was still a little surprised when Dumbledore admitted it himself.

"None of us know whether this unknown monster will attack again, but we must be prepared to protect the safety of students."

Dumbledore then explained to the professors the new regulations that will be implemented at Hogwarts to protect the safety of students, including inspections three times a day. Young wizards in the lower grades will line up to go to and from get out of class and must have at least one professor. Accompaniment and other measures were taken, and Dumbledore asked professors to pay attention to whether any students have behaved abnormally recently, and to report them immediately if they find any.

No professor raised any objection to this, and everyone nodded in agreement.

After the meeting, the other professors dispersed one by one, but Dumbledore left Ethan alone. Ethan noticed that Lockhart seemed to look back at him jealously when he left, which confused Ethan.

Ever since his conversation with Dumbledore in the principal's office, Ethan has been deliberately avoiding Dumbledore. He was afraid that Dumbledore would arrange a "great mission" for him.

But being stopped alone by Dumbledore today, Ethan obviously had no choice but to avoid it.

"Ethan, have you made any progress in the investigation of this monster?" Dumbledore looked at Ethan calmly with his blue eyes.

"I think that monster is a basilisk." Ethan replied. Ethan felt that if he didn't reveal some information today, Dumbledore might not let him go easily.

"Basilisk?" Dumbledore's voice sounded a little confused. Dumbledore quickly recalled the knowledge of basilisk, "But Ethan, I remember that looking directly at a basilisk will kill people, but the current attacker They are all petrified.”

Ethan was a little helpless. He didn't believe that the greatest white wizard could not think of the answer. This only meant that Dumbledore was testing him, so he had to answer seriously.

"The indirect gaze of the basilisk will turn people to stone. Neither of the current victims saw the basilisk directly. Mrs. Loris saw the basilisk through the reflection of the underground water, while Colin saw it through the camera. Arrived."

There was a trace of satisfaction in Dumbledore's eyes, and then he said: "Great, with your help Ethan, we will definitely be able to deal with this monster faster."

"I suggest that students be asked to wear glasses or something like that to block their sight and avoid direct gaze with the basilisk. It is better to be petrified than to die." Ethan said sincerely to Dumbledore.

"Thank you Ethan, I will definitely consider this carefully." Dumbledore's eyes softened, "Speaking of which, Ethan, are you willing?"

"It's getting late now. I'm going back to rest. See you Professor Dumbledore." Ethan said goodbye to Dumbledore at a very fast speed and left the medical room quickly, leaving a confused look on his face. Damn it Dumbledore.

Dumbledore touched his beard in confusion. He could tell that Ethan had been avoiding him inexplicably recently, but he had no idea why.

Dumbledore had no choice but to give Madam Pomfrey a few words and left the medical room.

At the same time, Harry, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed in the corner of the medical room, was turbulent in his heart. From the beginning, he knew that Colin was petrified just to look at him and blamed himself.

The information about the basilisk that Ethan and Dumbledore were talking about so far shocked Harry Potter. He wished it would be dawn so that he could tell Hermione and Ron all this information.

However, the pain in his arm and the excitement in his heart kept him awake all night. Harry, who finally made it to dawn, couldn't wait to return to the Gryffindor lounge after Madam Pomfrey checked his arm to confirm its recovery.

When Harry returned to the Gryffindor common room, he discovered that the news of Colin's attack had spread throughout Hogwarts, and the previously forgotten Chamber of Secrets had become a hot topic of discussion among the young wizards.

The security in the school has also been improved a lot. Now you can see young wizards in the lower grades everywhere, like chickens, lining up to follow the professor in front of the team to their classrooms.

Harry found Hermione and Ron, pulled them to a corner where no one was, and couldn't wait to tell them the information he heard last night. Seeing Hermione and Ron's mouths wide open in surprise, Harry felt inexplicably. A hint of pleasure.

"Oh my god, I should have guessed this!" After hearing Ethan's analysis to Dumbledore, Hermione knocked her head angrily. She immediately wanted to take Harry and Ron to the library to study it. However, it was quickly stopped by Harry and Ron. They believed that it was too dangerous to act alone now. After all, the school immediately hid a terrifying basilisk.

Hermione followed this suggestion. The three little wizards found the Weasley twins and borrowed "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" from them. They returned to the Gryffindor lounge with the book and began to study it carefully. .

"Professor Ethan is really right! The monster that came out of the Chamber of Secrets must be a basilisk!" Hermione turned to the place where the basilisk was recorded in the book and showed it to Harry and Ron.
