Luna and Neville were not in any danger, and they were taken back to their respective houses' common rooms, where they were strictly ordered not to leave the break rooms until things settled down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The next day, the atmosphere in the castle became heavy and tense again, all classes were canceled, and news spread that the head of Hufflepuff had been injured in the battle with the basilisk. The students got up earlier than usual, and it seemed that something was watching the castle in the dark.

Soon, Xie An, who was alone, went down the stairs on the top floor to the Ravenclaw lounge, and a student who seemed to be a senior prefect seriously interrogated Xie An's whereabouts, Xie An's casual excuse of course could not easily deceive the wise Ravenclaw prefect, but the strange thing was that this prefect just smiled at Xie An and believed his lame lie. Xie An was slightly worried, he didn't know the specific actions of the basilisk last night, but the huge magic fluctuations could be felt even if Xie An was far away from Ravenclaw on the second floor.

The situation has changed. Xie An stayed quietly in the lounge, listening to the discussion of his classmates about what happened last night.

"This is the biggest crisis since the founding of Hogwarts!" Michael said loudly to the onlookers as he stared at the breakfast in front of him, "Even the professor is injured, the basilisk is too powerful! and legend has it that the basilisk killed the students decades ago!"

"Hum. The Ravenclaw student let out a low chattering voice.

"Who's hurt, is it serious?"

Michael took a sip of pumpkin juice, and it seemed that he had been speaking for a while, "I heard that it was serious, and the herbology professor was almost killed by the basilisk gaze. ”

The students began to whisper again, and everyone felt that the problem was serious and that the school did not seem to be able to protect the students effectively.

"Michael Corner, shut up. Who told you to talk nonsense here, things are not what you say they are!" Penelope entered the lounge and angrily rebuked Michael's exaggerated description.

Michael was yelled at by the female prefect and almost squirted out the pumpkin juice he had drunk. He looked at Penelope with a flushed face, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Professor Pomona Sprout has only suffered a minor injury and will recover soon, and the basilisk you are afraid of has been severely damaged this time, and the school will immediately organize forces to go and kill the basilisk!" Penelope said solemnly.

The Ravenclaw students listened quietly to the prefect's words, and they all fell silent.

Xie An leaned against the wall, looking at Penelope with a blank face, and was furious, and stabilized people's hearts. I thought to myself, Penelope is still very reliable. Penelope looked around and saw that all the students had settled down before he continued: "You are the future elite of wizards, don't be controlled by fear and blindness, stay in the common room, study hard, the final exams will come." ”

Then Penelope squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the corner where Xie An was.

"Andrew, you come out with me, I have something to tell you. ”

"Senior, I'm an ordinary student, and the professor asked me to stay in the lounge at this time. Xie An spread out his hands and said coldly.

Penelope gave him a look of disbelief, and then walked out without looking back. Xie An looked into the crowd and found that only Luna was looking at him curiously, smiled at Luna and followed.

"Yesterday the four Deans attacked the Basilisk head-on, but they failed, and the Hufflepuff Deans inhaled the snake venom, but Professor Snape prepared the antidote in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. The two of them walked out of the lounge, and the one standing guard was still the senior who had interrogated Xie An in the morning, and he smiled at Xie An friendlyly, ignoring Xie An's obvious disobedience to the order. The two walked to the corner of a stealthily moving staircase, and Penelope couldn't wait to say to Shea.

"Hmm. Xie Anxin replied nonchalantly.

Penelope was a little surprised by Xie An's cold reaction, and asked suspiciously, "Andrew, you have been sleeping last night?"

"The whole school shook slightly, and the magic fluctuated like a tidal wave, can I fall asleep?"

"But you don't seem to be curious at all about what happened?"

Xie An leaned on the railing and watched a short-haired witch walk downstairs with a pile of books in her arms. After thinking about it, he said, "I care more about other things than this one." ”

Penelope stood behind Shea, who seemed to be shrouded in a fog. Ever since the last Hogsmeade incident, Penelope has instinctively taken a distancing approach towards Andrew. But after all this time, as Penelope became keen to gain power, she began to hesitate to approach the eastern monster shrouded in mist.

"Where is your attention?" Penelope asked.

Xie An turned around, looked at Penelope with a smile, and asked, "Do you think this is an opportunity? an opportunity to leave a permanent mark in the honor room? I remember that you once had such a wish, Ravenclaw girl." ”

"Don't speak in a tone where you see through me, I hate you like that. Yes, I do feel like it's an opportunity. Even though it made me look like a Slytherin, I just wanted to take the chance. Penelope approached Shea, so that the two were almost face to face, and Shea could see his own slightly pale face in Penelope's brown eyes.

The smile on his face disappeared, and Xie An's gaze quickly and completely turned cold, "Penello, you don't know what you're asking for, you don't have any chips at all, and you don't have a chance to join this game. ”

"Oh, yes, just because my parents weren't dignitaries in the wizarding world, nor were they hereditary nobles in the Muggle world, so I didn't deserve to join your game?"

"Yes, that's exactly what it is, you're just an ambitious little girl, you can't do anything, you join the game and you will only make you a pathetic pawn. You will be taken away, you will be controlled, and when you lose your usefulness, you will become a pile of moldy flesh in Azkaban!" Xie An replied coldly, and between the two of them, they could easily feel the heat spewing from each other.

"I don't think so, a good birth may make you a king on the chessboard, but in the end you are a pawn like us. You're just more valuable than I am. Penelope is several years older than Xie An, and at this time, the girl who has obviously developed is almost face-to-face with Xie An, and inevitably, the girl's soft breasts are directly pressed into Xie An's arms.

But Shea didn't react to this, he looked at the Ravenclaw Transfigurated Slytherin in front of him with some disgust, snorted lowly, and turned his face to the side, as if he didn't want to discuss the matter anymore.

"On the chessboard, apart from the king, the most important chess piece is the strongest queen, I noticed that you and your little girlfriend seem to have broken up, so I want to be this queen, is it okay?" Penelope moved closer to the boy who was half a head taller than him, and whispered in the boy's ear, the soft and developed part of the chest against the boy's arms, and the hot breath from his mouth made people's ears itch.

Xie An turned his head, looked at the beautiful girl with slightly curly brown hair with some surprise, and asked with some confusion, "What?" Penelope gently left a kiss on Andrew's cheek, then giggled and walked away.

"You want to threaten me?" Xie An didn't seem to feel the girl's pink and soft lips, but continued to look coldly at Penelope, who took a few steps back.

"Andy, people generally don't call this a threat, but a pursuit and a relationship. Penelope has taken advantage of Shea'an's weakness, and she's ready to take advantage of that.

"No, you want to control me, I can feel it. Xie An took a step forward, and the tall boy instantly transformed into a dangerous creature, his cold gaze glowing red.

"Don't, don't get excited, Andrew, women usually conquer the world by conquering men, and you should know that, I have no ill will towards you. Thinking of the red-eyed ability and the sight of hell descending, Penelope's smile froze, and he couldn't help but take a step back, almost leaning on the handrail of the stairs.

Xie An approached her relentlessly, and a little red light seemed to emerge from Xie An's eyes like flames, without a trace of warmth and pity, making Penelope's confidence in his plan instantly fall to the bottom.

"Women don't have to conquer the world by conquering men!" A strange and beautiful operawoman voice sounded behind Penelope, Xie An was stunned, Pei

Nello also hurriedly turned to look behind him, and a portrait of a beautiful and charming witch holding a blood-red flower hung behind Penelope.

Xie An and Penelope both looked at this portrait in surprise, and instead of looking at the two living people, the portrait looked down at the blood-red flower in his hand, and said in a low voice: "But I agree with your previous point of view, it is really wonderful to become a queen." ”

Xie An and Penelope glanced at each other, Xie An snorted coldly, turned around and went down the stairs, Penelope hurriedly followed, and finally looked back at the portrait of the witch full of bad omen - Anne Boleyn - the legendary witch queen!

The day passed quickly. The next day, the cold wind blew even more harshly, and there was a tense and oppressive atmosphere in the castle, and Xie An was bored in the lounge listening to the Ravenclaw students discussing the rules of hibernation of the basilisk.

Cho and Luna sat in another corner of the common room, the two whispering, and Cho looked at Xie An from time to time. The prefect brought in the news early in the morning, classes had been cancelled for the week, and all students were required to stay in the break room for self-study until the Basilisk problem was solved or it was time for the Christmas holidays.

There didn't seem to be any fighting last night, at least Xie An didn't notice anything unusual. Shea, who had been curious about what Dumbledore was doing, didn't want to join this deadly battle at this time.

The professors were busy, Snape's top-notch skills and precious blood, the herbology professor really recovered in a few days! Xie An secretly raised the importance of Potions to another level.

Prefects are assigned to patrol in small groups, and in order to maintain their attention, they are generally divided into two periods of duty, the first half of the night and the second half of the night, and spend the day in the break room with their classmates.

The professors were much more miserable, they worked tirelessly to check the school's enchantments, and even Squibs like Filch were instructed to help maintain order. Hearing that the ghosts had given up an important death day party for the safety of the school, Vice Headmaster McGonagall praised the ghosts and promised to find a potion to help Peeves recover as soon as possible.

The prefects summoned their patronus spirits to patrol the castle, and the professors were understaffed to arrange one in each place, so they had to arrange it in a few important places.

At this time, the elves with great potential to serve the castle still have not been seen in public, so Professor McGonagall thinks that ghosts are more reliable than elves. (To be continued.) )
