No sooner had Colin Creevey left the Gryffindor common room than Albert came down from his dorm room on the back foot.

Tonight, he added some ingredients to the milk tea of his roommates, and let them go back to rest after eating supper and drinking milk tea.

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all slept so deeply that they wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night, let alone realize that their roommate had suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night.

As Albert left the common room, he raised his wand and looked at the portrait of the fat lady, who was in charge of the door, out to visit the door.

I see, that's what he meant. Albert muttered, turned and walked swiftly forward, disappearing into the deep darkness at the end of the corridor.

A few minutes later, Albert pushed open the door to the Room of Requirement, sat in the brightly lit room, spread out the map on the table, and stared at Colin's position.

Colin Creevey walked slowly, probably for the first night trip, trembling at every step, and was now just on the seventh floor of the castle.

Albert believed that Tom Riddle was hiding in the Chamber of Secrets, using a human charm to monitor the castle to determine the location of the Mudbloods, and to avoid bumping into the professor who was patrolling the castle when he released the basilisk to wander.

In a way, Tom did it perfectly, almost completing the attack while perfectly hiding the basilisk monster.

However, Tom could never have imagined that such a perfect attack would be completely seen through by Albert from the beginning.

Travelers can sometimes do whatever they want.

When Albert came down from the dormitory, he had already used a strong shielding charm on himself.

It was the result of his continuous efforts in the past half month, and with the blessing of the panel skills and his own continuous efforts, Albert finally succeeded in using the Shielding Charm to shield his existence before Tom Riddle controlled Ginny Weasley's second attack, so that his name and footprints would not appear on the map where the Shadow Charm was cast.

Yes, Tom Riddle didn't know anything about it, he took Albert as a prey, but he didn't know that the other party had already taken him as a prey.

At this moment, the heir of Slytherin was staying in the underground pipes with Ginny Weasley, who was under his control, monitoring the Mudblood's movements through the map presented in his diary.

Not long ago, Tom had already decided to go after the pesky mudbloods when he had learned from Ginny that a mudblooded man named Colin was going to visit Harry in the middle of the night and invited her to come with him.

This was a rare opportunity, and Tom knew that the cat that had attacked the Squib last time hadn't made the students aware that the Chamber of Secrets had been reopened and that the Slytherin heir had returned.

That's when Tom realizes that he has to let the basilisk kill one or two Mudbloods, so that the whole school of Mudblood can once again feel the fear of being dominated by the Slytherin heirs.

Ginny Weasley's mouth hissed, calming the restless basilisk behind her.

Ever since being woken up from hibernation by Tom, the basilisk has been very cranky.

It's hungry.

Those rats in the underground pipes can't fill their stomachs at all. Tom couldn't control Ginny to get food for the basilisk, and for him, the basilisk was just a tool to get his goals.

Tom Riddle's serpent is an old serpent who can make the grumpy basilisk obediently obey his commands.

The map in the diary, marked with the footprints of the mudblood, had already reached the school hospital on the second floor of the castle.

As for, Squib Administrator Filch?

Tom had already visited each other before entering the chamber, and Filch was now lying in bed and asleep, and he couldn't wake up for six or seven hours.

As Colin Creevey approached the hospital, Tom took control of the basilisk and left the Slytherin chamber to begin the hunt for the night.

He was looking forward to it, looking forward to how the Mudbloods at Hogwarts House would react after tonight's attack.

At the moment, Colin Creevey had no idea that he was being targeted. The reason for his rapid heartbeat was more that the darkness around him and the cold of the air made him feel uncomfortable, and the lantern in his hand did not give him a sense of security.

Moreover, Colin was still a little worried, worried that he would wander around the castle in the middle of the night, be caught by the professors, and deduct a lot of points, so that all Harry's efforts on the court would be in vain.

As Colin was about to make his way through the stairs at the end of the corridor of the Transfiguration Classroom toward the school hospital, he suddenly heard a thud behind him.

What was that?

Perhaps, it was the courage of the Gryffindor students that prevented Colin from immediately turning and fleeing.

In Colin's impression, there is no danger in Hogwarts Castle, and if there is danger, can it still be called a school?

If you don't sleep at night and wander around the castle, at most you will be caught by the professors and locked up with points deducted.

However, that rustling voice was clearly not the footsteps of the professors.

Colin didn't leave, but waited for the sound to approach, he had heard some of the older students say that there were many interesting things about Hogwarts, such as getting up at night and going on a night tour, and the probability of encountering knight armor patrolling the corridors.

Perhaps, today is his lucky day.

I really encountered something incredible at Hogwarts.

Colin suddenly became a little excited, put the lantern he was carrying on the ground, and took the camera off his neck, ready to film the scene.

The sound was getting closer.

At the moment when the owner of the sound crossed the corner, Colin quickly pressed the camera button, and the flash of the camera lit up in the dark hallway, revealing a large serpent of incomparably large size.

"Ahh

Colin's eyes couldn't help but widen, his stunned expression completely froze on his face, and his voice stopped abruptly at the first moment.

Colin Creevey was petrified by the basilisk.

In a way, Colin Creevey was lucky.

Because he saw the basilisk's eyes through the camera, he was not killed by the basilisk's eyes, but was only petrified.

His body fell backwards and slammed into the steps behind him.

In Professor McGonagall's office, not far from here, Professor McGonagall, who had just finished grading the student's homework and was lying down to rest, heard the cry and immediately got out of bed.

At this moment, Professor McGonagall's face was very unsightly, and it was obvious that there was a student wandering around the castle in the middle of the night without sleeping.

She quickly put on her cloak, picked up her wand, and hurried out of the office when she heard an eerie thud at the end of the hallway, as if something was dragging on the floor.

"What's that sound?"

Professor McGonagall immediately became vigilant and walked forward, and she soon felt a chill at Colin Creevey, who was lying on the ground stiff. Professor McGonagall immediately raised her wand, looking warily at the end of the hallway.

That voice just now is very likely to be a monster in the secret room.

She hesitated for a moment, then quickly traced in the direction from which the voice had come from, and as she passed the first corner, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

"What's the matter, Minerva, I just heard a scream. ”

Dumbledore, dressed in his pajamas, appeared in front of Professor McGonagall without warning.
