Chapter 119 Attack
Chapter 119 Attack
"Thousands of miles of ice!" Maple stayed at Hermione's place for an hour before she finally thought of poor Harry under Hermione's reminder.When he returned to the library, Maple had forgotten Harry's location, but although the Disembodiment Curse could make him invisible, it could not make his body disappear.
Maple used thousands of miles of ice to condense a layer of frost on the floor of the library. When the frost spread to Harry's feet, he finally found his location.
"Sorry, Harry!" After rescuing Harry, Maple apologized to Harry repeatedly.
In order to beg Harry's forgiveness, Maple shared one of her secrets with Harry——
"The Room of Requirement!"
“It’s great that there is such an interesting place in the school!”
The next morning, there was a violent snowstorm outside, so Professor Sprout canceled herbal medicine class.In such bad weather, the care of mandrakes must be more meticulous. Professor Sprout really doesn't feel comfortable leaving such a matter to the students anymore.To prevent the mandrakes from freezing, Professor Sprout put socks and scarves on them like children, instead of casting a warming spell on the mandrakes.Although magic is easier and more effective in resisting cold, casting spells on mandrake in this way will also affect its medicinal properties.
Since Riddle and Claire had taken advantage of them by discovering the secret room, Maple naturally wanted to repay them well by making the secret of the secret room public and gain a wave of academic mastery points at the same time.
Because of the cold weather, most students stayed indoors to keep warm, forming a large circle around the fire in the common room.
Maple and the others should really be lucky that their class today is herbal medicine class.In such bad weather, no classes of professors except Professor Sprout were canceled.Especially Snape's Potions class, because of the cold weather, the basement classroom was particularly steamy.
Because under the influence of steam mist, the students' vision was greatly affected, which caused a big problem in the configuration of the potion.This was almost the last Potions class before the Christmas vacation, but Snape did not intend to leave any pleasant memories for them before the vacation. Except for Slytherin, all other students were ignored by him. A lot of points were deducted mercilessly.
In the Gryffindor common room, Maple saw Neville and many other classmates still wearing ridiculous amulets.
Just in time, Maple took this opportunity to tell them the secret of the secret room——
"Neville, why are you wearing that ridiculous amulet? Such a thing has no effect in front of the monster in the secret room."
"If you are really worried about your safety, you should bring a rooster with you so that you can protect yourself from the monsters in the secret room!"
Since Riddle was so worried about Hagrid's cock, Maple had Hogwarts filled with cocks.
"Rooster?"
"How are you sure that the rooster can protect us from the monster in the secret room?" A smart young man suddenly realized, and then showed a look of surprise: "Do you know what the monster in the secret room is?"
"Yes, the monster in the secret room is Basilisk!" Then Maple revealed the information about Basilisk in the school library in front of everyone.
"What the basilisk fears most is the crow of the rooster. Direct contact with the basilisk's eyes will cause death. As long as you close your eyes, nothing will happen. But even if you close your eyes, the basilisk's deadly fangs will kill people. So instead of closing your eyes, you might as well wear glasses.”
"Direct contact with the basilisk's eyes will kill you, but indirect contact is like seeing the reflection of the basilisk's eyes in the water like Mrs. Loris did. Although in this case you will be petrified like Mrs. Loris, but Sipu Professor Lauter's mandrake can help you to remove petrification when mature, and the basilisk will no longer have any appetite for you after petrification. Didn't Mrs. Loris not be eaten by the basilisk after being petrified?"
When the news that the monster in the secret room was a basilisk spread wildly in the school, Maple also received academic points one after another.Maple also thought about telling all the students in the school one by one through letters at different times during Christmas, so that every student in the school could gain some academic points.
But after thinking about it, he still gave up. Maple was worried that after such a showy operation, the system would change the settings again, further devaluing the value of the academic master in his hand.The Tao is as tall as the Demon, and the arms cannot reach the thighs after all, so it’s better to let nature take its course as it is now.
Although he was defeated by Maple, there was no reason to let go of this opportunity due to the rare snowstorm weather.And after Maple and the others spread the secret of the basilisk, it would not be so easy for him to let the basilisk do such activities again.
Hufflepuff's tower appears to be undefended, but in fact it is also protected.The Hufflepuff Tower is next to the kitchen, and the house elves in the kitchen came to Hogwarts and had a place to live under the protection of the Big Four Hufflepuffs.
Out of gratitude to Ms. Hufflepuff, the house elves in the kitchen are a secret guarding force of Hufflepuff.It's just that house elves can deal with malicious students or ordinary wizards, but their power is not enough in front of the basilisk.
Riddle was unlucky. Although today's Herbology class was canceled, all the Hufflepuff students who were not in class gathered in the library.On the contrary, Justin of Gryffindor, after learning that Harry had the ability to speak Parseltongue, did not dare to stay under the same roof with Harry, so he left Gryffindor Tower and hid in Hutch In Patch's dormitory.
Colin, who was originally Harry's little fan, became afraid of Harry after being fooled by Hufflepuff's Ernie. He left Gryffindor Tower with Justin, and then they were attacked by a basilisk. .
If it weren't for the almost headless Nick who helped to block the disaster, Colin, who didn't bring the camera with him this time, would have been cold. Ernie almost killed others because of his ignorance.
Ron was still lying in the hospital, and Harry was lying alone in the dormitory reading a book to pass the boring time, because he really couldn't stand other people, especially the strange look on the faces of his Gryffindor classmates after they learned that he knew Parseltongue. gaze.
At this moment, Harry suddenly heard a noise from the window. Harry turned his head and saw an owl tapping on the glass of the window.
"How could anyone deliver a letter in this weather?" Harry walked over and opened the window and let the owl in.
This owl was really strange. After Harry opened the window, it just stood on the windowsill and did not fly in.
Harry frowned and walked over to chase the owl away.Because of the cold weather today, the windows were open and all the cold air from outside the house blew in.
Just as Harry was standing by the window, his body suddenly flew out uncontrollably, flew dozens of feet into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"Harry, why are you in the hospital too?" Hermione, who was leaning on the hospital bed and reading a book, couldn't help but be surprised when she saw that Harry had also been sent to the hospital.
"Don't mention it, I don't know what's going on." Harry still feels inexplicable. He was thrown from a high altitude and suffered many fractures on his body. In the Muggle world, Harry would have been basically paralyzed.And he lay in the ice and snow for a long time wearing thin clothes before someone finally found him and sent him to the hospital.Harry also wanted to know who the murderer was, but unfortunately he didn't have any clues.
When the petrified bodies of Colin Crimson and Justin Finch-Fletchley were sent to the hospital, Harry and Hermione no longer cared about who the murderer was, and their focus returned to the Chamber of Secrets.
But when he stopped paying attention to the answer, the answer came to him——
Harry suddenly woke up after midnight.At first he thought it was the pain on his body that woke him up, but soon he heard someone crying in the dark.
"Flashing fluorescent light!" Hermione was also awakened, and everything was pitch black. Hermione immediately took out the wand on the bedside and recited a fluorescent spell.
"Dobby!" Using the light of the fluorescent spell, Harry quickly recognized the person next to his bed. No, a living thing. He turned out to be Dobby the house elf.
The house elf stared at Harry with two big eyes like tennis balls, and kept looking at Harry. Drops of tears kept rolling down his long pointed nose like a kite with a broken string.
"Harry Potter is back at school," he whispered sadly. "Dobby reminded Harry Potter several times. Ah, sir, why didn't you listen to Dobby's warning? Harry Potter didn't catch the train. Why don't you go home?"
"What are you doing here?" Harry asked. "How do you know I didn't catch the train?"
"It was you who did it!" Seeing Dobby's trembling body and guilty look in his eyes, Harry understood immediately, "It was you who sealed the wall and prevented us from passing through!"
"That's right, sir." Dobby said, nodding desperately and slapping his two big ears. "Dobby hid nearby, waiting for Harry Potter, and then sealed the passage. Dobby had to iron himself afterwards. hand," he showed Harry his ten long bandaged fingers, "but Dobby doesn't care, sir. Dobby thought Harry Potter was safe now. Never in his wildest dreams did Dobby imagine that Harry Potter actually returned to school!"
He rocked back and forth, his big ugly head moving.
"Dobby was so shocked when he heard that Harry Potter had returned to Hogwarts that he burned the master's dinner! What a whipping, Dobby has never experienced it before, sir!"
"You almost stopped Ron and me from getting to school," said Harry testily. "You'd better get out of here, Dobby, or I'll strangle you."
Harry didn't expect that Dobby just smiled faintly. "Dobby is used to death threats. Dobby hears them five times a day at home."
He blew his nose with the corner of the soiled pillowcase he was wearing, looking so pathetic that Harry felt his anger subside involuntarily.
"Why are you wearing that, Dobby?" he asked curiously.
"Is this, sir?" Dobby said, tugging at the pillowcase. "This symbolizes the house elf's slave status, sir. Dobby can only be freed when his master gives him clothes to wear. The family's They were careful not to give Dobby even a pair of socks, sir, because then Dobby would be free and leave their house forever."
"What's the difference between you and slaves? Why didn't anyone stand up to stop this?" Hermione said with indignation after hearing what happened to Dobby.
