Scott immediately fished out a small piece of ebony from the shape-shaped lizard leather pouch around his waist as soon as he left the sight of the three Porters.

He pulled out his wand again and used Transfiguration on Ebony to turn the block into a wood carving.

Then there was the inscription of the simple magic circuit, and when the magic circuit was engraved, he waved his staff again, and the wood carving gradually came to life, turning into a raven covered in pitch black.

The raven shook its feathers, skipped in Scott's palm, spread its wings, and was responsible for finding its way in front of Scott.

Scott took his wand in his hand and followed the raven far behind.

Basilisk, an extremely dangerous magical creature.

Any creature that comes into direct contact with the basilisk's gaze will be killed instantly, and will be petrified even if the gaze is indirectly met.

And the basilisk that Salazar Slytherin left in the Chamber of Secrets has survived for a thousand years.

Scott recalls the basilisk's information, but he can't remember the state of the basilisk at this point in time - is it only passing through the pipe, or is it possible to climb out of the pipe at any time?

Maybe the "original" itself is not directly described, maybe he forgot. But there is no doubt that the monster has been awakened.

Scott speculated that the millennium basilisk must have been asleep most of the time until the Horcrux Diary arrived at Hogwarts and awakened it.

He based his judgment on the fact that Potter had never heard "strange noises" in the previous school year.

Scott walked briskly through the castle.

Raven always flies in front of him, and if another student is encountered, Raven will fly back and land on his shoulder, disguised as a pet.

Although he remembers that in the "original" the basilisk only started attacking the students in the castle after Halloween.

But Scott felt that if he believed too much in the so-called "original" plot, he would probably kill himself.

Of course, if he was careful, he could basically avoid encountering a basilisk around the corner while he had the Transfiguration product and the magic of perception.

At the same time, Scott began to think about his earlier plan for the "Secret Room Incident".

Because of the omission of memories, the plan that he thought had been perfected had preconditions.

He had planned to do it after the cat in Filch was petrified on Halloween and the message "Heir of Slytherin" appeared.

At this point in time, Scott doesn't have a good way to deal with it if he doesn't want to jump too far.

There is no shadow of anything about the "Chamber of Secrets" now, except that Potter hears some "strange noises". There's no way Scott could have jumped out and done something about it himself, or told anyone else that there was a basilisk lurking in the castle.

And Scott was reluctant to give up his original plan.

Then there is only one option.

He had to wait for the right moment while keeping himself safe.

If the rest of the "plot" remains the same, he will solve this pesky trouble in one fell swoop after Halloween.

After thinking clearly, Scott made his way to the library and let the raven stay on the windowsill near the library.

It was only when he found a new issue of a basic academic journal to read that Jacob suddenly found him.

Scott glanced at Mrs. Pins, the librarian, and whispered, "Looks like you've completed my commission?" ”

"That's right." Jacob lowered his voice as well, "I've found out how that nickname you hated came to be. ”

Scott smiled slightly, "Good, you're very efficient." Now ......"

With that, he sensed that Mrs. Pince was staring at them with an unkind look.

The Hogwarts librarian has a keen eye for everything that goes into the library.

"Go out and talk."

Scott stopped, stood up and put the magazine back on the shelf, beckoning Jacob to walk out of the library with him.

"Let's go for a walk."

Because of the basilisk, Scott doesn't want to walk around the castle right now.

He drew his wand and waved it gently, and the raven that had stayed on the ledge next to him flew again.

"Is this your pet?"

Jacob looked curiously at the blackbird flying ahead to lead the way.

"So to speak."

Scott smiled and didn't explain much.

After leaving the castle, the two went all the way to the atrium.

Seeing that there were no other students nearby, Scott stopped and said to Jacob, "Just here, tell me the results of your investigation." ”

"Okay."

Jacob nodded, but then a strange smile appeared on his face.

"You wouldn't have thought of it, Scott." He seemed to be holding back his laughter, "The reason for this is completely different from what you think. ”

Looking at Jacob's expression, Scott frowned.

"How?" He suddenly felt that maybe it was not a good idea to investigate the matter himself, so he asked angrily.

Jacob seemed to be much more lively than ever, and he said in a somewhat exaggerated tone, "Oh! All I can say is that everyone's understanding of language is different. The person who gave the nickname meant just to praise you, but you thought it was a humiliation. ”

"Compliment?" Scott's eyebrows were raised high, and he asked incomprehensibly, "Praise me for being like a dog?" ”

Jacob nodded affirmatively, explaining, "Seriously, I don't think it's a big deal, the four Hogwarts houses also have their own representative animals." ”

“……”

Scott suddenly felt that it might be an oolong.

His cognition has always been imprinted with the imprint of his previous life, and he takes it for granted that being called a dog is an insult.

But the result ...... People don't think so?

Of course, he could also see that this boy Jacob had not lied to him. And there is no need to deceive him about this very easy to debunk fact.

When he saw that Jacob wanted to say more, he raised his hand to stop him, "Stop, don't tell me who gave me this nickname." ”

“…… Are you sure? Jacob asked in an uncertain tone, "Maybe you should want to know?" That nickname comes from a girl who adores you. ”

"I don't want to know who it is." Scott had mixed feelings.

Jacob shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, but rest assured, I've got word out of her that you hate the nickname. ”

"That's fine." Scott didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Jacob asked, "And my reward?" ”

Scott said helplessly: "Although it doesn't feel like a good deal, I won't regret the good deal." ”

"Thank you." Jacob smiled sincerely.

Looking at his expression, Scott rarely felt a little aggrieved.

But as he himself said, he has no intention of repenting about good things.

"Three Transfiguration Guides, yes? Yes, let me know when you need it. ”

After Scott said this, Jacob left satisfied.

Scott was no longer in the mood to go to the library and chose to go back to Ravenclawta.
