It took a lot of effort to persuade Hermione to leave the bathroom. The weeping myrtle had been flying around them, and the gloating expression on her face could not be hidden, and it was obvious that she seemed to be particularly unfriendly to Hermione.

"Hermione, come up. If you follow the way you are now, when you slowly move to the school hospital, the whole school should know. Brandi waved his hand goodbye to the resentful Myrtle, and then he kindly bent down and crouched in front of Hermione.

Because of the compound decoction, Hermione now looks like she is not completely catized, and it is better to say that she has fluffy cat ears and tails on her body. The point is that the cat's skeletal structure is completely different from that of a human, and some of its joints are completely reversed - and now Hermione is clearly in trouble, her leg joints have been deformed and grow back, and she still staggered to her feet when she just opened the door for them!

"Don't! I'll do it myself! Hermione shook her head desperately, her tone as if it were something extremely embarrassing and ashamed—her furry face was black, and she couldn't tell what it was.

She wanted to take two steps forward despite Brandi's objections, indicating that there was nothing wrong with herself, but just like a child who had just learned to walk, no matter how smart she was, she couldn't get familiar with this anti-joint walking posture at once, but before the second step was finished, her legs were weak, and her body involuntarily fell forward.

"Ouch!"

So Brandi only felt a pain in the back of her head, and was knocked on the door of Hermione's head, and she was dizzy and gave her a free human flesh pad.

"Woo......"

After the two were pulled up by their hands, Hermione finally reluctantly agreed to be carried away by Brandi...... As she nodded, her cat ears hung limply against her head.

"Really, it's all like this...... There is still time to make trouble. Brandi muttered as she carried Hermione on her back. I don't know if it's an illusion, Hermione is actually a lot lighter than Brandy expected, and with the fluffy fluff, he always feels like he's carrying a king-sized cat doll at this moment. "You've grown into Yale now, where can I take advantage of it!"

"Woo...... Less nonsense, hurry up and go! A sucker! Hermione wrapped her robe around her head, and a muffled cry came from within. If I am seen by my classmates like this, how will I see people in the future! ”

"Hey, I know that I'm embarrassed and won't let me carry you, so I have to go by myself. Knowing that the IQ is so high, how can I not even understand such a simple question. Brandi pouted.

"It's a shame to carry it on your back......"

A voice as thin as a mosquito came from behind him.

"Did you just speak? Hermione? ”

Brandy's waist ached violently, and he quickly gave up his superfluous curiosity and walked out quickly, but before he could take two steps, he stopped again.

"Y-What do you want to do?" Hermione said anxiously behind him.

"It's not...... It's a little uncomfortable. He flipped Hermione on his back in discomfort. As soon as I walked, I always felt that something was shaking and hitting my hand? Hermione? Do you have anything slender stuffed under your robe? ”

Then subconsciously, he held Hermione with one hand and touched the direction of the thing with the other......

He felt a soft thing, somewhere between a feather duster and a rubber wand.

……………… On the physiology of cats.

After thinking about everything, his heart was cold.

"I was wrong!"

But at this time, Hermione could not listen to any explanation, Brandy only felt that the cat doll on her back suddenly stiffened, and after a moment of silence in terror, a hot and humid wind suddenly blew on her neck - accompanied by a hairy touch and severe pain.

"Yikes! Don't bite with your teeth, Hermione, you're a tiger now...... Feed! It's bleeding, it's bleeding! Ahhhh He jumped more than three feet high on the ground, and where did he dare to stay where he was. hurriedly took a step and ran outside without stopping...... Leave Harry and Ron with a smoky back and a scream drifting away.

"What was Hermione doing just now......

Harry closed his mouth in surprise as he looked at Ron. "What did she do with a sudden bite of Brandi."

"God knows." Ron pursed his lips, struggling to control his facial muscles. "Maybe I touched the tiger's tail."

Behind them, Myrtle laughed merrily in the air in the bathroom, as if in a comical quickstep.

……………………

For several days, Neville's affairs went unchecked.

In fact, when Dumbledore came out of Neville's side that day, the clues were almost all there...... Neville had a hunch before Lady Loris's attack, and was watched by someone after the attack. The series of attacks that followed were almost inextricably linked to him - Dean was at the agreed place to meet him; Justin didn't know if he wanted to go to the school hospital to find Neville, or if he was just passing by sadly, so he was killed less than ten meters away from the school hospital. And for Neville's sake, the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets even gave up the principle of only attacking Muggles, and it even attacked Dean as a half-blood wizard. With that being said, Neville's situation is particularly precarious right now......

But there are still some doubts, some questions that must be addressed.

"Why would the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets do this?" After settling Hermione into a special ward, the three of them quickly returned to the common room. Around the exuberant fire, Harry said suspiciously. "It's impossible for the monster in the Chamber of Secrets to know Neville, so why would it be so obsessed with him, even going so far as to break the rules set by Slytherin himself to attack a wizard?"

"yes, I'm curious what Neville did to make the heir of Slytherin worry about it......" Ron said. I still think it's Malfoy, because he has a motive, Neville beat him up last year - he must be trying to get revenge. ”

It was the hundredth time he had said that.

"That's not good, Malfoy can't sneak into our dorm room and stare at Neville secretly, and the timing isn't right - there's no way he's going to know about Neville and Dean meeting in the prize showroom. Neville had gotten rid of the surveillance that day, and found me. Brandi grinned and clutched his neck, which was wrapped in a blood-stained bandage - he had to say that Hermione had been bitten by his own cat in order not to get cursed.

Of course, Madam Pomfrey must not have believed it.

"By the way, speaking of Dean, don't you think it's weird? If the monster had known that Dean had discovered it in the first place, it would have had a chance to attack Dean - everyone in the castle was watching Quidditch that day! It could have searched for Dean in the castle, but instead of doing so, it chose the prize room at midnight! Brandy's hand clutching his neck tightened suddenly, and he lowered his voice.

Harry and Ron looked at each other. There was a look of shock on their faces.

"yes, and it's so accurate, like it knew Dean and Neville were going to be in the prize showroom in the first place......" Harry muttered, "Did Neville tell anyone else?" ”

"I don't think so, he was so nervous at the time, and he was vigilant when he told me. I guess I'm the only one who knows. Of course, I told Ron about it later...... Ron! ”

At this, Brandi's eyes widened, and he jumped up from his chair at once, startling Ron.

"Why are you so surprised? It's impossible to suspect that I did it. ”

"No, do you remember when we were talking about Neville in the dorm room, and there was anyone else in the dorm?"

Ron snorted, his face full of puzzlement.

"No, it was just the two of us, right...... Dean and Neville weren't in the dormitory at the time, and Seamus probably didn't come back. ”

"yes, we didn't see Seamus, his bed was pulled up by the curtains." Brandi said eagerly, "But is there really no one in there?" Of course, I mean, it doesn't have to be Seamus, it could be something else...... If it was in the dorm room and overheard our conversation—"

Ron let out a startled roar. "So that's why Neville and Thomas were reluctant to go back to the dorm that day...... Is it because they know what's weird in the dorms? ”

The lounge was as warm as spring, but the three people present were cold...... This terrifying speculation was deeply rooted in their hearts. In the dormitory, there may be something else besides the six students.

"What do we do now?" Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Harry said with some trepidation. After hearing this conjecture, he was reluctant to go back to his bedroom to sleep. "Do we need to sleep in another bedroom like Seamus did before? Or...... Looking for Dumbledore? ”

"No, you must not do anything that is contrary to the normal situation right now."

It was Brandi who answered him, although he vaguely felt that the purpose of the monster targeting Neville was the key to the whole incident, but when there was no Hermione, they couldn't analyze the problem so thoroughly, so they could only focus on stabilizing the possible monster first.

"We have to pretend we don't know anything." He said firmly, "This is just a guess on our part, and there is no real evidence that there is anything else in the dormitory, and if we look for Dumbledore, we will not find anything, but we will be alarmed; Second, if there is one in it, then it may also pay attention to us - once it finds out that we didn't come back on time, will it think that we have found something unusual? That might well force it to attack again, and maybe even crazier at that point. ”

He took a deep breath and stomped down the stairs.

"And it's not going to be in the dorm room...... Hasn't Neville proven that to us? Even if he kept staring at him, the monster in the secret room didn't really attack him in the dormitory. Let's go up, we'll probably have to go back to sleep honestly until we get a clear answer. ”

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and they both swallowed in unison as they followed Brandy.
