Because he had been thinking about Parvati and Hermione, Brandi probably passed out in a daze after midnight, but he didn't know that a few minutes later, he was still struggling between half asleep and half awake, and suddenly felt something pushing him.

“… Hey... Get out of this Yale, they all said don't mess around with me while I'm sleeping. He subconsciously thought that Yale was playing tricks again, because he had been abusing its relationship lately, and the cautious Yale probably came up with a new means of revenge. It would often jump into bed at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night and sing and dance on Brandy. He's been in this situation for days.

With that, Brandi casually reached out of the quilt and tugged at his body—and then touched something that was still smooth on his hand, as if it were a silky fabric.

Strange, when did Yale learn to dress?

He opened his eyes in confusion to find Professor McGonagall looking at him with an uneasy expression...... Then his own hand was on her arm......

"Teach, professor?!"

He withdrew his hand with lightning and sat up from the bed in a panic. Looking out the window, I found that it was still dark outside, and the moon had been hidden in the black curtain, and it was not even dawning at this time!

"How do you ......," Brandi stammered, half-confused, as he sat on the bed.

"Bad news, Brandi." Professor McGonagall's face was full of solemnity, and she whispered. "The official announcement from the school would have been issued in about an hour...... But I think it's important for you to be the first to know, of course, Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter. ”

She tapped their beds with her wand, and Harry and Ron's quilts were lifted by an invisible force. They woke up from their dreams in an instant and hurriedly jumped out of bed.

When they saw Professor McGonagall, their faces were as confused as Brandy's.

"Professor? How did you end up here? ”

Professor McGonagall made a silent gesture and motioned for the three of them to go downstairs with her. They arrived in the common room, where the firewood in the fireplace was still tirelessly releasing light and heat into the gloomy world.

"You're probably going to be shocked, and I'd suggest you'd better prepare for it, it's serious... Serious. She said succinctly, "Tonight, another student was attacked. ”

The three of them looked at each other in alarm, considering that Professor McGonagall had only called them out individually, so ......

Brandy's internal organs suddenly churned violently.

"Professor McGonagall, the student you're talking about is—" His voice was small, as if the name was pronounced and the person would be gone with the wind.

"Probably worse than you think, Brandi." Professor McGonagall sighed as she walked over to the doorway and opened the portrait of the fat woman. "I'll take you there...... After all, by daybreak, you may not have much chance of seeing them. ”

In this intense uneasiness and trepidation, the three of them followed Professor McGonagall in silence as they made their way through the doorway and up the marble staircase. Professor McGonagall had a clear goal, and she was leading them straight to the fourth floor.

"I'm so sorry," Professor McGonagall's tone was unexpectedly gentle as they approached the hospital. "It's really the negligence of us professors to happen this kind of evil **, if we can come here more often, maybe it won't-"

They turned the corner where they had found Justin, and Professor McGonagall pushed the door open to the hospital and the three of them entered.

They covered their mouths almost at the same time, gasping for breath at what they saw.

"How...... Whatever...... No! Don't do this! ”

Madam Pomfrey was hunched slightly, in a posture that wanted to poke her head out of the office to see who was outside the door, her body stiff like a dead piece of wood. Her hair cover hadn't been taken off yet, and she looked like she had just returned to the office to take a nap after a busy day.

"This is what Filch saw when he was about to patrol the corridors on the fourth floor around two o'clock," said Professor McGonagall, "and he saw that the doors of the hospital were open, and thought that Madam Pomfrey had forgotten to close them, so he kindly tried to close them—but he saw Pomfrey through the cracks... yes, he was really freaked out. ”

None of the three had the intention of answering, and Madam Pomfrey, as the first gate in the entire school hospital, was so easily captured...... And then after that-

Suddenly they didn't dare to look any further.

"Okay...... I think you'll all know by now. Professor McGonagall said with a heavy heart, "They're in the second room on the left, if you're willing to bear it......"

After a moment of silence, Brandi finally stood up with the panic and fear in his heart. He stepped forward with heavy steps and pushed open the door. It's the same as the gate of the school hospital...... The door to this room was also opened......

"Ahh He let out a short, dull grunt, and his body involuntarily fell to the side, leaning against the doorframe. Hermione...... Parvati ...... "His face was as pale as a blank sheet of paper, his lips trembled slightly, and he called the two names softly.

Immediately after, the exclamations of Harry and Ron were heard behind him.

In the room, Parvati was half-seated on the bed in the corner, with Hermione standing in front of her...... They still raised their wands and chanted incantations, their vigilant and panicked expressions frozen at the moment of attack.

How could it be...... Such!

He suddenly moved, and he rushed behind him excitedly, grabbed Professor McGonagall's robe, and asked in a voice that was almost hoarse, pleading, even pleading.

"Professor! Neville! Neville: Where's he? I'm going to talk to him! ”

Looking at Brandy's faintly red eyes, Professor McGonagall looked away sadly, and Harry and Ron were surprised to find that Professor McGonagall seemed to be about to cry too-

"I'm really sorry, Brandi...... Neville he's gone, he's... He was taken captive by monsters and taken to the Chamber of Secrets. ”

She waved her wand ventively, and the door to the room behind her suddenly opened, revealing what was behind the door.

It was Neville's room—a crooked line written in bright red paint on the wall facing the door. Brandi stared at the message, his clenched fist nails still digging into the flesh, oozing red blood.

His bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever.

………………

"All students must return to their college's common room by 6 p.m. No student is allowed to leave the dormitory after this time, during which time we will enforce that the gatekeepers of the four colleges do not allow anyone to enter or leave the lounge. Each class will be escorted by a teacher; Students are not allowed to use the washrooms in the hallway alone without a teacher. All Quidditch training and matches will be postponed and no club activities will be allowed in the evenings. ”

Gryffindor students huddled in the common room, silently listening to Professor McGonagall.

She pinched the document she had just read, pasted it on the bulletin board, and said in a voice that seemed to be suffocating: "Needless to say, everyone should understand that the school is likely to be unsustainable—until the criminals are caught, no matter how careful we are, there is always a risk of being attacked." Your parents probably wouldn't want you to continue your studies in such a dangerous environment. If nothing else, by the time Dumbledore has all the chores in order, I think we-"

Professor McGonagall choked up at the heavy gaze of everyone.

"I think we'll have to say goodbye for the time being, kids......"

She sobbed and turned around, crawling somewhat awkwardly through the portrait hole.

There was silence in the lounge...... Everyone nervously exchanged ears, but they all kept their voices down, as if they were afraid of disturbing something that didn't exist.

For the first time in his life, Percy was in no hurry to express his opinion. Different from previous tirades, this time, he just sat on the chair next to Li in a daze, with a confused look on his face.

"Hogwarts...... Going to close? ”

As soon as these words came out, the sound of sighing and sobbing sounded all around, and the lounge was in chaos in an instant.

Ginny looked worriedly at Harry, Ron, and Brandi, who hadn't listened to Professor McGonagall's speech at all. Or rather, they could now be described as lost and depressed, just with their heads bowed and their eyes staring blankly at the smooth floor. She gritted her teeth and summoned all the courage she had in her life to get to Harry's side.

"Hah, Harry...... Hello. "She wanted to say, 'Are you okay?', but she didn't dare to say it. Harry looked up mechanically, her heart tingling with the dim gaze of her eyes.

"I... I'm just here to say......" she said incoherently, wringing her hands nervously. "It's sad for every one of us for something like this to happen. Hermione and Parvati... Really good people... They'll be fine! I... I believe that Dumbledore will definitely catch the murderer, and if the murderer is caught, Hogwarts will never just be closed. No, isn't it......"

Her words seemed to have done their job.

Harry slowly muttered the sentence she had just said, and his eyes slowly lit up.

He stood up and patted Ron and Brandi on the face beside him vigorously - "Cheer up!" Guys! What's the use of just sitting stupidly here! We have to act! ”

I was supposed to go today......

Brandi repeated the words in his heart.

It should have been me, and if I hadn't been baffled to pick up Parvati's greeting card, then I should have faced that damn monster tonight—

But it's all over... Hermione and Parvati were also victimized, and Neville was captured. Our childish escort plan was so easily and completely ruined, and the two of them were defeated before they even had time to react, so how could the three of us win......

"Wake up! Blondie! ”

Hermione...... Parvati ......

"Smack!"

There was a crisp sound in his ears, and Brandy's face suddenly felt a hot pain, and he came back to his senses and looked up blankly.

In front of them were the concerned faces of Harry and Ron.

"You ......"

"Stop talking nonsense, it's time for us to go, Brandy!" Ron withdrew the hand that had slapped him, and the two of them pulled him up together, "Parvati and Hermione failed, shouldn't it be our turn now!" You know, we have an information advantage over most of the people in the academy...... Don't you want to take the guy who attacked Hermione and Parvati out and beat them up! ”

The fury burned like a spark, and then, like a prairie fire, burned in Brandy's chest.

yes, we haven't lost yet......

"What do we do now!" Brandi said, one side of his face still red and swollen, but it didn't affect the serious, resolute expression on his face at all.

"Get out of here first, we have to talk to Hagrid, whether it's him or not, he must know more or less about the Chamber of Secrets."

"But how can we get out of the doorway, the fat lady won't give us a few to open the door alone!"

"I think it's time to take out my dad's old robe again."

"That's right! You can hide the cloak in your bag, and we can sneak out of the crowd at night when the professor escorts us back to the lounge...... We have one night to find out the truth! ”

The three of them whispered, and soon made up their minds. When they raised their heads and were about to go upstairs to prepare something, they suddenly found that there was no one left beside them.

“…… Harry. Ginny said in a panic, with tears in her words. I can't believe you want to do this! That's dangerous, you're going to die...... I don't allow you to take this risk! ”

Brandi and Ron looked at each other and pushed Harry forward in a very tacit manner. Harry glared back at them helplessly, and then he made a move that no one expected - he stepped forward and hugged Ginny gently.

"Thank you for waking me up, Ginny." Harry thanked her heartily in her ear, "But now it's our turn to wake up our friends, don't tell the professors, okay?" Can you make this a secret between us......"

He let go of his hand, and he wanted to say something more, but Ginny was already dazed and slumped in the chair behind her, nodding unconsciously, her eyes full of the unconscious look of mosquito coils. The hot face seems to be steaming......

"What's wrong with her?"

Harry looked back a little strangely, only to find Brandi and Ron walking past him one after the other.
