After coming out of Dumbledore's office, Zhang Xu returned to the dormitory and spent a lot of time writing a letter to China, writing down today's events, his own thoughts, and preliminary plans.

When Zhang Xu finished writing, he found that it had been a long time since the meal, so he could only pack up the letters, go to the owl room to send the letters first, and then go to the canteen to get something to eat.

When he came to the common room, he saw a man lying listlessly on the table, waving to him.

"Chambers, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Xu asked his Quidditch teammates.

"I just came back from training, I'm hungry, I'm too tired to go to the kitchen, do you have anything to eat?" Chambers said.

After dinner tonight, there was another training session for the Quidditch team, but today Zhang Xu took a leave of absence.

"Only the little fish is dried, do you want it?" Zhang Xu handed a few small dried fish to Chambers.

"Can't you change something else?" Chambers said helplessly, "This is for cats, can people eat it?" ”

"I used to prepare a year's worth of dried fish for Mrs. Loris, but now it can't be eaten, I have half a year's worth of dried fish here, so I can't waste it." Zhang Xu said, "I fried these small dried fish with oil until crispy, and then added a lot of seasoning, which is very delicious." ”

Chambers took one and tried it, and found that it was crispy and delicious, "Bring me more." ”

So Zhang Xu got a small plate and put it in front of him.

It's Saturday, and there are no major events in the past few days, and everything is going according to plan.

The news that Professor Keriddy Bubbagi of the Muggle Studies class would be leaving at the end of the semester and that a new surrogate professor would be in class the following semester had been circulating in the school for a day, and the change of professor for a less important elective did not pique the students' interest.

Two days before, Mandrake had had a lively and noisy dance party in the third greenhouse, and a few students who tried to go to the greenhouse to look for salad ingredients had lie outside the greenhouse all night, until Professor Sprout found them in the greenhouse the next morning.

Today is a beautiful day, sunny and sunny, cloudless and breezy.

The Lion House vs. Badger House Quidditch match is going to be held today, and the captains of both houses are working hard to get their players to eat more breakfast.

While everyone was eating breakfast, suddenly a rooster crow resounded through Hogwarts Castle. Every loudspeaker in the castle was playing the sound of a rooster crowing.

"It's the corridor where Lady Loris's was attacked!" Fred Weasley shouted, "Different places have different sounds. ”

The student council president, who was in the cafeteria, took out a crystal and put it to his mouth, and the next moment the loudspeakers in Hogwarts Castle sounded his voice as the rooster crowed.

"Attention all students! Attention all students! The monster of the secret room has appeared! The monster of the secret room has appeared! All students are now sheltering in the nearest common room, auditorium, and classroom! Be careful to avoid the hallway in front of the girls' bathroom on the second floor! ”

Since it was breakfast time, many students either ate breakfast in the cafeteria or were on their way to the cafeteria.

Soon, there were many evacuated students in the cafeteria, and at the door of the cafeteria, several senior students wearing goggles were guarding the door.

In a corner of the cafeteria, Zhang Xu and the Weasley twin brothers, as well as the president of the student council and several prefects of the four houses, gathered around the map of the living point to observe the situation inside the castle.

Some time ago, everyone organized a team of about 60 people with the members of the "Tea Time After School" as the backbone, which was used to deal with emergencies about the basilisk, and later someone called this team the "Hogwarts Protectors" according to the "Hogwarts Protector Medal" issued by the school after the group brushed Professor Quirrell last semester.

According to the grapevine, the Ministry of Magic was very nervous for a while after learning about this, thinking that Dumbledore was going to form a group to prepare to brush the Ministry of Magic. In the end, it was the members of the team who sent a message to the Ministry of Magic through their own families, saying that it was only organized by the students and had nothing to do with Dumbledore, which made Cornelius Fudge sleep well.

After the "Defenders" were established, while researching how to deal with the basilisk, the twin brothers shared the map of the living spots. With the map fully open, it is much easier to command evacuation work.

In addition to goggles, each member of the "Defenders" is also equipped with a palm-sized communicator. This communicator resembles the fake Garens that Hermione later made for members of the "Dumbledore Army" to deliver messages, and can transmit all kinds of text messages. It's just that this kind of communicator, which gathers the wisdom of everyone, has more functions than Hermione made by herself.

With the map open and even communication, a group of people started to go black.

In the hallway in front of the girls' bathroom on the second floor, the name of the basilisk was not found on the map of the living point, but the name of Gilderoy Lockhart appeared.

A badger prefect asks the fat friar to scout.

"You're in the hallway, peeking from behind the direction he's moving, just to see if Gilderoy Lockhart is with the monster and what the monster looks like." The prefect of the Badger House said to the fat friar.

The fat friar nodded and flew away.

On the map, you can also see that there are many students in various parts of the castle, most of them are coming out of the common rooms of the Eagle Yard and the Lion Yard to prepare for breakfast in the cafeteria and after eating breakfast are ready to go back to the common room or to the library and reading room, and some of these students are still hiding in the various classrooms of the castle.

The command team in the cafeteria contacted the members of the "Defenders" who were still in the castle to take the students from each classroom to the nearby headmasters and Dumbledore's office through a map and communicator. At the same time, they are reminded to avoid Gilderoy Lockhart's position. For some students who don't have "guardians" around, ask the ghosts in the school to help.

Since Nick's attack, the ghosts of the school have stated that they will work together to deal with the monsters in the basilisk. And having them scout and arraign is the best option.

At this time, the fat friar brought back first-hand news.

"Gilderoy Lockhart is with that monster. It was a large snake, 50 feet long, with dark green skin and sturdy-looking scales. Every time there was a rooster crow, the monster would roll in pain, and then Gilderoy Lockhart would destroy the horn that made the sound. ”

Not long after, the map shows that the students in the castle have taken refuge in safety, while Gilderoy Lockhart has left the second floor and seems to be heading towards the cafeteria on the first floor.
