Falling to his knees, gasping for air, feeling his whole body tremble hysterically.

Inside the Responsive Room, Jon Hart couldn't help but cover the mouth of his right hand in pain to relieve the sharp pain coming from the palm of his hand.

It's painful, but it's safe for the time being......

But Jon was well aware that it was far from over.

The basilisk was repulsed, but problems followed.

First of all, the plot has fluctuated greatly:

According to the original books, Ginny Weasley would have a few months of peace at Hogwarts after she discarded Tom Riddle's journal, until the day of Gryffindor's Quidditch match with Hufflepuff, when Hermione Granger and Penelope Crivat were attacked.

But now, the fourth attack has begun early, and its victim is actually Percy Weasley!

This time, who opened the secret room again...... Or Ginny Weasley, or Harry Potter with the new diary, or someone else?

Jon felt like his previous state of mind was gone.

He couldn't help but sigh a little, after all, he was careless...... thought that if you knew a little bit of the original plot, you could do whatever you wanted.

And it's such a coincidence, I only made a mistake once a semester and returned to the dormitory late, and I happened to encounter the basilisk in the attack this time...... If it weren't for the series of preparations, he would have been one of the attackers by now.

This coincidence made Jon feel like he was dumb and eating coptis.

And more importantly, I don't want to find a way, I'm in trouble now!

The most important thing now is to get back to the Hufflepuff common room as soon as possible, no matter what, otherwise in the middle of the night, when a classmate finds out that he is not in the dormitory, won't he become the number one suspect in the attack?

Returning to the common room was also difficult, as he didn't know that there were too many secret passages in Hogwarts, and the only way he knew would inevitably pass through the crime site, and a first-year student couldn't have any reason to be there.

Becoming Sergei Pavlov is also unreliable, and despite its skill, it may not be able to avoid the discovery of powerful wizards such as Dumbledore, Snape, and McGonagall, and the appearance of an unfamiliar face from Eastern Europe in the castle raises suspicion.

Quite a troublesome thing......

It seems that the only way is to become a person who can move around the castle flexibly!

......

Professor Severus Snape also appears in the corridor between Hogwarts Castle and the Ravenclaw Spire.

His eyes were still cold and unfathomable, but at this time they were a little more solemn.

He also seemed attracted by the noise here.

"What's going on?" he asked in a loud voice.

Between the hallways, he saw a "stone statue" on the ground, and two Gryffindor boys, one on his knees crying, the other standing beside him,

"Potter Weasley?"

When Harry Potter saw Snape's appearance, he couldn't help but show disgust on his face, and said, "Another attack......"

"I see, I don't need you to guide me!" Snape said coldly, "So now, why are you here? Why are you the first to find out about the attack!"

"I ......" Harry Potter was a little dumbfounded.

Fortunately, there was a noisy sound of footsteps behind him, and a large group of teachers and students came to watch.

Albus Dumbledore walked at the forefront: "What's going on, Severus?"

"There's another victim!" Snape's voice subconsciously lowered, "It's Gryffindor's ......"

"Weasley......" Professor McGonagall staggered over and said with a shocked look on her face, "This can't be ......"

Everyone knew what she meant: according to rumors, Slytherin monsters would only attack Muggle-born students, or Squibs, but Percy Weasley was also a pure-blood wizard and his grades were consistently high among sixth graders.

"It's not just an attack, Albus, Minerva......" Professor Filius Flitwick's voice came from the Ravenclaw Spire.

He and Madam Pomfrey were carrying a tall girl with long hair, looking a little funny.

"Miss Krivat was also attacked, at the eagle-shaped bronze knocker at the top of the tower...... She also seemed to be turned to stone!" Professor Flitwick said sadly and angrily.

He was followed by a handful of Ravenclaw seniors, carrying a wooden gate on which a hawk's beak could be seen stiffening over there.

"And ...... The knocker that Ms. Ravenclaw left behind, which has lasted for thousands of years, and which symbolizes the wisdom of Ravenclaw, has also become a stone!"

Everyone immediately understood the reason for the usual easy-going Professor Flitwick's anger.

"Is that so?" Professor Dumbledore frowned, taking a closer look at Percy Weasley and Penelo Crivet's already stiffened bodies:

"Can you understand it that way......" Professor Snape said slowly, the expression on his face extremely solemn, "The attacker's original target was probably Miss Clearart, who was killed along with the hawksbill knocker...... But it didn't expect Mr. Weasley to be here, and it engaged in a fierce battle with Mr. Weasley, and in the end Mr. Weasley agreed to be killed, but the attacker was wounded!"

Everyone looked at the blood on the ground, and the wand in Percy Weasley's hand, and many nodded.

The expression on Dumbledore's face remained solemn, and he sniffed the air vigorously as if he had smelled something strange, and examined the blood on the ground.

"Severus, please help me get Sivanos and Hagrid!" he said solemnly.

"Okay, Headmaster!"

......

Snape took the order, but no sooner had he stepped out of the hallway than he ran into a student.

"Stop!"

Following Snape's order, the Hufflepuff senior stopped.

"What's going on, Professor Snape...... What was the sound just now?" he said, gasping for air.

Snape recognized him as Hufflepuff prefect Gabriel Truman.

"Another attack, Mr. Truman!" he said coldly, "you should go back to the Hufflepuff common room and warn the students there not to run out." ”

"Understood, Professor!" Truman nodded, then turned to leave.

Snape headed for the Forbidden Forest...... Halfway through, though, he suddenly realized that something was wrong:

Gabriel Truman always referred to him as Sir rather than Professor in Potions class......
