William didn't end up telling his roommates anything about the monsters in the secret room.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but at this point in time, it's very unreasonable for him to say these things.

I didn't see that he didn't say the right speculation in Lockhart's office, only that it might be caused by an evil black magic.

Even Dumbledore didn't immediately notice the secret, how did you, William, as a second-year wizard, find out?

It's understandable that it's better than ordinary people, but it's too much to be omniscient, and it will be caught by Lao Deng to slice and study.

And based on the available evidence alone, William could not prove that the culprit of this incident was an old monster that had lived for a thousand years.

He didn't want to get Dumbledore's attention because of his quick mouth, and then he wouldn't be able to do a lot of things.

In the face of the white wizard whose strength is much higher than his own, it is better to be careful, especially after feeling that Dumbledore is planning a big game of chess, William is even more wary of old Deng, he doesn't want to be on the chessboard at all, and become a pawn in the hands of old Deng like the savior Potter.

Dumbledore should be less wary of himself now, William thought to himself.

He still remembered that in his first year, Dumbledore had tested himself more than once, his attitude towards magic, his position in the wizarding world, etc., and the old Deng had all asked William on the side.

It can be seen that he attaches great importance to William, so he can think with his ass that Dumbledore will keep an eye on him, intentionally or unintentionally.

This is also the reason why William is so low-key, whether it is the "accidental" discovery of the Room of Requirement in the first grade, or the choice of temporary patience in the face of the abundant resources and knowledge of the forbidden book area, William is forced to compromise helplessly.

As long as Dumbledore was still at Hogwarts, William would not be able to act completely freely, and could only sneak into some small actions.

Unless it was in the Room of Requirement, in that magical room, Dumbledore would never have been able to peek into William.

As for William, in order to let Lao Deng no longer pay attention to himself, it is of course essential to maintain a character that meets Lao Deng's wishes.

He felt that Lao Deng would now think that he was just a young and precocious little wizard from a big family who loved to learn.

There is also a little childish wayward place occasionally.

Let's say in the case of Snape.

William's actions made him look a little naïve, he didn't need to speak ill of Snape like that, there was no inextricable grudge between the two of them.

But it would make William look real and a normal person living at Hogwarts, rather than a machine that would always be right and rational.

Moreover, he was already very unhappy with Snape's foul mouth soaked in venom.

So, on behalf of William, Terry, and the Weasley brothers, I would like to express my deepest sympathy for the tragic plight of the old bat.

A kind-natured Ravenclaw thirsty for knowledge, and occasionally a little childish willfulness, this is the character that William has always managed.

He wanted to make old Deng feel that he was a kind person, completely different from the young Voldemort.

Because the two of them are too similar, especially in the fact that they showed an unusual talent for magic in school, after experiencing Riddle's fall, Old Deng's nerves have become more and more sensitive, and he doesn't want Dumbledore to focus his eyes on himself like he did with Riddle back then.

Judging from the current situation, William seems to be doing well, and Lao Deng did not expect that someone would engage in those not-so-bright experiments under his nose.

Therefore, for the secret room and the basilisk inside, all William can do now is to remind a few of his roommates, especially Terry, not to travel at night during this time, and not to return to the Ravenclaw common room very late.

However, for William's warning, Terry couldn't help but seem a little unimpressed.

"You're making a bit of a fuss, William. I think it's probably a bad joke with Filch, and as for the secret room, I'm afraid that the attacker found a reason for this prank, the descendants of Slytherin are long gone, and the Gaunt family has completely broken off the inheritance many years ago.

I've heard that their patriarch was imprisoned for the dark arts, Azkaban died there, and that the last member of the Gaunt family secretly eloped with a Muggle, which is ironic. Terry grinned that he hadn't been affected by the Chamber of Secrets.

As direct descendants of Slytherin, the Gaunt family is naturally not so unknown in the English wizarding world, in fact, the legend of the Chamber of Secrets was first passed down by members of this family.

However, it is still the same sentence, the marriage of close relatives is destined to the family not to go far, and it is quite a magical thing to be able to hold on for so many years.

Terry, I hope you don't pee your pants in fear when you know the truth, William thought to himself.

He knew very well that Voldemort was a descendant of Slytherin, and that he was the child of the union of the female Gaunt and the Muggle.

When he was in school, Voldemort naturally used his Muggle father's surname, Riddle.

By the time the next attacker appears, you won't think so. William shook his head helplessly, probably because he was a pure-blood wizard, and Terry didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

I just thought it was a prank on Filch, or some ridiculous thing that some Slytherin, brainwashed by the bloodline, had done.

In fact, it's not just Terry who doesn't think so, but the students of Hogwarts now also generally think like this, and everyone doesn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

Because until now, the only victim was the obnoxious cat kept by the obnoxious Filch.

On Halloween night, after William and Harry returned to their respective break rooms, the news broke out about Lockhart's office.

Now, the students talk about Lady Lorris's misery all day long, and it does sound a bit of a joy to say, although it may lack some sympathy, but that's what the young wizards of Hogwarts think.

They had long since had enough of Filch, who was constantly making trouble for the little wizards, and the scrawny flower cat he raised.

So seeing Filch's miserable appearance, the little wizards even faintly felt a little lucky.

After the events of that night, Filch became even more insane, either pacing around the place where Loris's was killed, or hiding in the corners of the hallway and suddenly pounced on the passing hallway, and then tried every means of excuse to keep them confined.

The reason is even ridiculous, "The gasp is too loud." Or, "Hippie smiley." ”
