Chapter 167: Lady Loris, Petrified!
Soon, Halloween arrived.
Harry and the rest of the school went to the Halloween feast, and the auditorium was already decorated with live bats as usual.
Although it had been raining for a long time recently, Hagrid had protected his pumpkins well.
Hagrid's huge pumpkin was carved into a lantern large enough for three adults to sit in.
It was also rumored that Dumbledore had brought in a skeleton dance troupe to entertain everyone.
At 7 o'clock, the banquet officially began.
Everyone entered the auditorium enthusiastically, and the auditorium was lit up with candles and torches, and it was not cold inside.
Overhead, you can see the ceiling of the starry sky outside, and there is a sound of fireworks bursting, and clusters of brilliant fireworks explode, flashing and shining on the faces of the happy students in the auditorium.
There were more than a dozen students, some regretful and reluctant to follow the ghost Nick, and from time to time they looked back at the laughter in the auditorium.
Harry noticed that Ron had also walked out, his expression not quite right.
But Harry just threw himself into the barbecue that had just appeared, and the barbecue made a sound, and a drop of hot oil slowly slid down the lines of the plump meat, and the aroma of the meat overflowed, and Harry's cravings were immediately aroused.
Don't care about the hot, a bite is a big mouthful, full of hot boiling, full of happiness, the meat is grilled, it is already delicious, and then sprinkle some salt and pepper hot sauce, tender, crispy, salty, spicy in an instant in the mouth exploded.
Enjoying food is the way to go.
......
Harry had been in the ballroom until the people who had attended the death party came back with sad faces.
And Ron walked in at some point, his body shaking, and he secretly wiped his hands as if something had been glued to him.
Harry burped in satisfaction and drank another glass of juice.
It's really nice to have a full meal.
At the end of the evening, hundreds of students walked out of the auditorium and onto the stairs.
Harry was mixed in, waiting for something to happen.
Sure enough, when Harry had just walked down the hallway, the large group of students in front of him had already seen something, and it was very confused and talking.
A girl let out an exclamation, which made the people behind her more interested in what was going on, and hurriedly squeezed forward.
There was a dark shadow underneath the torches, and when they saw what it was, they took a step back in fright.
It was Lady Loris, the caretaker's dirty cat, with its tail hanging from the torch holder, its body stiff as a plank, and its dark eyes wide open and staring.
The candle shone on it, and the shadow was reflected on the ground, swaying slightly, almost like a demon grinning.
As soon as the timid person saw this terrifying scene, it should be said that he was frightened by the terrifying appearance of the cat, and immediately closed his eyes.
What catches the eye even more is the writing on the wall.
Between the two windows, on the wall, a foot above the ground, was smeared with large, tangled handwriting, smeared with blood.
"The Chamber of Secrets has been opened"
"Those who are enemies of the heirs, be vigilant!"
Students, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other.
"What's that?"
"What do you mean by the Chamber of Secrets?"
"What is the heir, whose heir?"
"There's no mountain of gold coins in the secret room, that's how knight novels are written. ”
“......”
After the initial panic, they began to discuss it with great interest.
What are you afraid of, Headmaster Dumbledore and a bunch of professors are here.
However, there were some people who were not frightened, but clapped their hands.
"Haha, this cat died so miserably, I don't know which god did it, sacrifice his knees. ”
"Filch, the administrator, must cry to death if he sees it, haha. ”
"Filch and his cat are always haunted by the fact that they catch people who break the school rules, and every time I am stared at by him, I am almost annoyed to death, and I really don't understand why he hates us so much. ”
"Hehe, I've heard that Filch is a squib. The last time Piddle was punished, he stumbled upon a lesson in his room to quickly learn simple magic. ”
"What, no wonder he's always treated us so badly, must be jealous that we can learn magic, I think Dumbledore should expel him. ”
"Yes, this kind of person is like a ghoul in school. ”
Harry: "......"
"What are you doing, what are you doing, making loud noises in the aisles, and gathering together to block the road, believe it or not......"
Filch heard the commotion, squeezed hard, and said loudly.
But he immediately felt like he was being choked by the neck.
"Uh, uh"
He rushed over and took his cat down, touching his stiff body and weeping bitterly.
"Who was, who killed my cat. His eyes looked like he was going to eat people.
He turned his head and looked at everyone's faces, as if to figure out who the killer was from the expressions on their faces.
Everyone he watched was furious.
"Please give way. ”
Dumbledore arrived, followed by the professors.
His face changed slightly when he saw the petrified cat and the writing on the wall.
He was certainly no stranger to this, having seen it many times before fifty years ago, when he was a regular professor at Hogwarts.
And in the end, regarding the Chamber of Secrets, Hagrid was expelled and left alone.
I thought that the secret room had been forgotten, but I didn't expect it to be opened again.
Is the tragedy of the past going to happen again? Are innocent lives going to be sacrificed again?
He looked worriedly at the Muggles, half-breeds.
At the same time, he secretly observed Harry, who was calm, as if he had expected it.
Don't......
Dumbledore's brow furrowed into a large pimple.
When Snape saw the scene, he immediately locked on to Harry, and he walked in front of Dumbledore quietly.
Hey, you all look at what I'm doing, like I did it.
Dumbledore's furrowed brow suddenly relaxed, and he laughed, "A funny prank, it seems that someone is trying to play a joke on all of us on Halloween, Lady Loris is not dead, she is just petrified." ”
"The prefects took the students of your academy back to your dormitory, it's time to rest. ”
"Wait, I know who is the murderer of my cat, he is in the crowd and can't let him go. Filch said with some frenzies.
Harry was a little surprised, could it be that Ron was seen by Filch when he was writing in chicken blood or petrifying Lady Loris, Voldemort was too careless.
But he was immediately surprised to see the crowd around him disperse and form a circle, all looking at him with puzzled and suspicious eyes.
"That's him, he's the murderer. Filch pointed at him, and the spat spitted out.
"Me?" Harry almost laughed as he pointed to himself.
Although he did make a small move, he only intervened passively in this matter, and he was sure that no one else knew what he had done.
Harry sneered, his face turned cold, "What does this matter have to do with me, don't bite like a mad dog." But I was always at the banquet, and there were many people who testified, and you said that I was the murderer, so show your evidence. ”
Filch hesitated and said nonsense: "Just now I saw that others were looking down and didn't dare to look me in the eyes, only you looked indifferent, as if you were still laughing, aren't you the murderer?"
"Yes, I'm really happy that this cat is dead, I can't even laugh. Harry smiled.
Filch was almost irritated to death by Harry.
Don't be happy when someone is in pain.
Because he will think, I'm so uncomfortable, why are you so happy.
His Pain will be converted to Aggro and transferred to you, multiplied.
Now Filch was like that, crying and saying to Dumbledore, "It's him, it's him who killed my cat, and he must let him die." ”
Dumbledore reassured: "Don't worry, Lady Loriss is not dead, Mandrake can prepare a medicine to bring Loriss back to life." ”
"Then don't you leave this matter alone, I think someone should be punished. Filch stared at Harry with bulging eyes, and screamed.
"Neuropathy. Harry scolded.
After that, the crowd was evacuated.
But the discussion doesn't end there.
Who would believe Dumbledore's nonsense?
His face was so gloomy that it could almost freeze into ice, and we couldn't see it.
Petrified, we learned to petrify all when we were in our first year, and it only takes a "Petrify Remove" spell to restore petrified objects to normal, and we don't believe Professor Dumbledore even knows that.
In a word, there is an insider!
The students were thinking about the story behind this incident.
Looking at their thoughtful expressions, you can see that the secret room has been broken by them.
