Chapter 45: Halloween and the Petrification Event
Halloween is here, this is Kevin's second Halloween at Hogwarts, and Hermione invites Kevin to the death party of Sir Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor, today. Kevin refused, Kevin knows that the world is different, how to be a friend, everything about ghosts should be related to dead things, Kevin reminded Hermione, but Hermione felt that it would be wonderful if there was no living person attending the death party.
On the night of Halloween, everyone came to the auditorium for the Halloween dinner. In addition to the flying bats and the thundering ceiling, there were several huge jack-o-lanterns, supposedly provided by Hagrid, the size of five people enclosing them. Giant jack-o-lanterns float beneath the ceiling, flying around.
Kevin ate the food and looked up at Hermione, without them, did they really go to the death party, I guess they will regret it, Kevin thought so.
The happy dinner time was spent in laughter, and after Dumbledore's speech, everyone began to walk to the dormitory one after another.
Just as everyone walked into the aisle, the person walking in front suddenly stopped, Kevin and the group of Ravenclaws were blocked at the entrance of the aisle, and the lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
In the silence, someone spoke loudly.
"Enemies of the heirs, be on the lookout! Next is you, Mudblood!" It's Draco Malfoy.
"What's going on here, what's going on?" Filch was undoubtedly drawn to Malfoy's shouts, and he squeezed his shoulders through the crowd.
Kevin followed Filch's path to the point of the incident, Hermione, Jon and Harry standing there blankly, Malfoy standing on the side with a playful look in his eyes, and ...... The "corpse" of Lady Loris.
Filch saw Lady Loris, who stumbled back a few steps and grabbed his face with his hand in horror.
"What's wrong with my cat, my cat, Lady Loris?" He screamed.
At that moment, his bulging eyes saw Harry.
"You!" He screamed, "You! you killed my cat! You killed it! I want to kill you! I want to?"
"Filch!"
Dumbledore arrived on the scene, followed by many other teachers. In the blink of an eye, he walked past Harry, Ron, and Hermione and untied Lady Loris from the torch holder.
"Come with me, Filch. He said to Filch, "And you, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger. ”
At this point, Lockhart squeezed past Kevin, who was eager to come up and ask Hermione what was going on. However, with Dumbledore and the other professors present, this kind of occasion is not suitable for Kevin.
"My office is the closest to here, Headmaster! it's upstairs, you can go there."
"Thank you, Gildero. Dumbledore said.
The silent crowd parted to both sides and let them pass. Lockhart was very excited, and he hurried after Dumbledore, followed by Professor McGonagall and Snape.
Kevin and the others watched them go.
Kevin, who returned to the common room, was puzzled, and the sentence on the wall. Heirs?
As soon as the others returned to the break room, they began to talk about it. Kevin had heard a few things about the Chamber of Secrets and the Heirs, and it seemed like the seniors knew something.
Kevin pulled over to Robert, who was joining in the fun, "Robert, you know something, don't you?"
"Well, it's actually a legend, you know that Hogwarts was founded by four great wizards," Kevin nodded, "Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slegelin, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hechpa, they were originally best friends, but Salazar Slydgerin insisted on only admitting pure-blood young wizards to the school, and the other three opposed his idea, so Salazar Slydgerin left Hogwarts, and it is said that he left behind a secret room with terrifying weapons, and when his heir returned to Hogwarts, he would open the secret room and release weapons to cleanse those impure hemp wizards. ”
Robert waited for Kevin to digest the information, "That's all I know, but I've never seen it, someone should be playing a prank this time, Salazar Slajelin isn't that interested in killing a cat!?"
After Robert finished speaking, he returned to the center of the lounge, and said, "It's late, let's go back to our dormitories and rest!" After speaking, he took the lead and went up the stairs.
Kevin sat on the windowsill, watching the rain outside the window, stroking Darsil. Terry and Mike looked at Kevin, thinking he was worried about Harry, after all, they knew that Kevin was on good terms with them.
"Don't worry, Kevin, Dumbledore will find out what happened, if it has nothing to do with Harry, they will be fine. Terry sat down on his bed and comforted Kevin,
"yes, yes, don't worry!" Mike chimed in.
"Thanks, I'm not worried about them, I'm just thinking about something. Kevin smiled at the two of them, then looked out the window.
The two of them didn't say anything, but their expressions showed that they didn't believe that Kevin wasn't worried.
Kevin was thinking about the Chamber of Secrets and today's events, Harry was a disaster savior, and there would be all kinds of tribulations before he grew up. Then it is very likely that the Chamber of Secrets is real, and not just a prank, as Robert said.
The rain was still pouring outside the window, and the glittering bed of Hogwarts in the night gradually dimmed, and finally the whole castle went dark.
