Chapter 108: Murder (I)
When school started, the students studied hard for a while, spurred on by Snape's venom.
However, the teenage age is the time to be carefree and playful. Therefore, after more than half a month, except for a few people who still maintain high-intensity study, others slowly return to their original casual state.
The basilisk eats so much that ordinary food simply can't satisfy its appetite. So, Harry found a moment and sneaked into the Forbidden Forest, where he put the basilisk Basilik in and let it feed on its own.
Arriving in the Forbidden Forest, Baslitus felt like he had come to heaven. Here, it hardly has any natural predators, and all kinds of magical creatures make it eat softly.
Moreover, Baslitus is also one of Voldemort's lifeboxes.
After it was transformed by Voldemort, it actually gained a magical ability - the soul of any creature killed by it would be absorbed by Baslit, transformed into pure soul energy, and fed back into the soul tablets on its body.
At the beginning, Voldemort divided his soul into seven parts, and the strength of each part was naturally countless times weaker than the original. It is for this reason that he deliberately guided the basilisk to give birth to this ability.
At this time, the soul piece on the basilisk has returned to the scar space on Harry Potter's forehead, so some of the soul energy fed back by the basilisk will also be integrated into Harry's body.
Now Harry is very comfortable, he doesn't have to do anything to get some very pure soul energy, it's like pie in the sky.
As a result, he became more and more indulgent in the basilisk's movements, gradually relaxing the restrictions on it, and no longer restricting it from where it could swim.
Until one night in late February.
The students were having dinner, and most of them were talking.
"Help~"
"Die, die...... Oh, my God! ”
Screams came from outside the hall door, and two figures stumbled in, Desser Lauder of Hufflepuff and Musse Palard of Gryffindor.
"Oh my God, Deser. Do you have a dragon behind you? Running in such a panic? A Hufflepuff who knew him well quipped loudly.
"Dead~"
"Really! Dead, Fifefilch~"
"Filch is dead?" The students in the hall were all startled, and all eyes were on them, even Lockhart and McGonagall, who had not yet left, to their feet.
"What the hell is going on?" Professor McGonagall quickly walked up to the two students and asked with a serious expression.
"Yes......" Musipapada, who was only a first-year student, was shaking and speechless for a long time.
At this moment, a loud howl was heard from the second floor.
“No! Loris~"
Professor McGonagall tugged at the two of them, "Quick, take me over!" ”
When Professor McGonagall walked out, all the students realized that something big was going to happen, and they all chased them out.
Charlotte in the crowd squinted, "Loris? Filch's cat? Could it be ......?"
When everyone came to a corner on the second floor, they all looked at the scene in front of them in shock.
Old Filch stood there, not at all the same as his usual thin figure. Now he was naked, and all the clothes on his body were torn into strips of cloth and hung around his waist. His muscles were swollen and hard, as if he was wearing an invisible layer of armor, and the momentum of his whole body was very unstable, and it could be seen that he was in a rage.
At this time, the students remembered that this Squib Filch, who was always limping, was not weak at all, he was a powerful knight in his own right, but he usually did not show it.
His eyes were red, and he shouted at Professor McGonagall like an angry bull, "My cat, she's dead!" Professor McGonagall! Lady Loris is dead......"
No wonder he was so angry, the name showed the cat's place in Filch's heart, she was like Filch's family companion. Now that his partner is dead, it's no wonder that Filch can still be calm.
Only then did everyone notice that at the top of the opposite wall, on a tall lampstand, there was a black shadow hanging motionless.
It was Filch's cat, Lady Loris. Her body was stiff like a plank, and her eyes were wide open, staring straight at the ground, where there was a large pool of water.
"The basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was taken away by Voldemort, and this kind of thing could still happen, could it be Harry?" Charlotte, who was standing in the crowd, squinted her eyes and silently searched for Harry's figure, "But ...... Europeans have a lot of taste!
Although Xu Xian passed by the snake and Ning Caichen passed by the ghost, Bai Suzhen and Nie Xiaoqian always maintained their human form. But what about Lady Loris? There's no way she's going to be a cat-eared girl, has she been able to bear Filch's stick? ”
Just as Charlotte was complaining, Filch pointed at Lauder and Papadd.
"It must be the two of them, it's the two of them!" The red-eyed Filch ignored Professor McGonagall's reassurance, "They killed my cat!" I want them to pay for Lady Loris's life! ”
As he spoke, he ignored Professor McGonagall on the other side and threw himself directly at the frightened two.
Boom!
A flash of silver light flashed, and Filch was knocked to the opposite wall, and a loud tremor shook Mrs. Loris off the lampstand.
Just as the cat was about to fall to the ground, a large hand caught her in the air.
"Filch, you're crazy! Do you want to attack students? It was none other than Acting Headmaster Professor Snape, and his black wizard's robes in the dim light made him look more like a big bat, "You don't know what the crime of attacking a wizard cub is, do you?" Do you want to go to Azkaban? ”
"I can't do it anymore!" Stuck in the wall by Snape's magic, Filch craned his neck and yelled, "Killing pays for life, rightly enough!" Even if Professor Dumbledore was here, I would do it! ”
"With all due respect, neither in terms of guts nor strength, these two imps can't do such a thing!" The old bat said in a deep voice, "Moreover, your cat is not dead!" She's in a peculiar state......"
"What do you say? She didn't die? Filch interrupted Snape in disbelief, "Professor~ Professor Snape, I apologize for the rudeness just now, I beg you to save her!" ”
"I'll let you go now, but you have to promise that you can't attack other students again!" Snape glanced at the students gathered around and said to Filch.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to do stupid things anymore, I, I'm just worried about her too much...... Woo woo woo~" Filch said that his body changed back to his original thin state, and tears welled up in his big and small eyes.
"Now let me see what made her look like this...... Snape put Filch down and casually unleashed a regression spell in front of him.
The water mirror shows everything that had just happened: Lady Loris jumped onto the wall extension of this wall, and a large shadow crept in from a distance.
Lady Loris just looked down and saw the reflection in the puddle of water on the ground—they were two yellow and clear vertical pupils, and she instantly stiffened and collapsed on the lampstand.
Just as Snape controlled the water mirror of the Regression Spell, slowly pulling forward, trying to see what the creature was.
The huge black shadow turned its head, and two huge golden rays of light shot towards the water mirror.
"Not good!" Snape was shocked.
