"What's going on, what's going on?" was no doubt that Malfoy's cry caught Filch's attention. Filch squeezed a path through his shoulders and cut through the crowd. When he saw Lady Norris, he stepped back in fright, his face full of horror.

"What's wrong with Lady Norris?" he screamed.

Then his eyes widened and he turned his gaze to Harry, "You!" he screamed, "It's you! you killed my cat! you killed her! I'm going to kill you!" "Filch!" Dumbledore was now on the scene with a group of teachers. He quickly untied Lady Norris.

"Follow me, Filch," he said to Filch. "Come on, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger. Lockhart stepped forward, looking particularly enthusiastic.

A few people left, but the doubts were planted in everyone's hearts.

After that, Ravenclaw used their scholarly expertise, and in just one day, Luna said, they borrowed almost all of the books on the school's history from the library. (Most of the rest is in Hermione's where)

Hermione then asks questions about the Chamber of Secrets in her History of Magic class, but Professor Binns provides knowledge that doesn't help with the problem, but he at least reveals the Chamber of Secrets and the monsters within.

After that, various versions of the legend of the secret room began to spread throughout the school, but many people did not pay much attention to it, after all, the victim was just a cat, and its owner was not popular.

Although the atmosphere in the school is a bit depressing, there are still a lot of happy things happening. Professor Lockhart, for example, hasn't done any practical classes since that terrible pixie accident. Instead, he reads passages from the book to his students, sometimes picking out some of the dramatic fragments to perform. So Joe also skipped class very face-savingly, anyway, the hand he showed in class made Lockhart dare not act rashly against him.

Then, at Quidditch, Harry caught the Snitch once more, giving Gryffindor the victory, although an out-of-control Bludger was chasing Harry and breaking his hand, and Lockhart showed off Harry's bones with a beautiful bone-pumping charm (Joe made a note of it), and the Gryffindor hero had to spend Gryffindor's victory night in the school hospital.

On the same day, Harry Potter's little tail, Colin Creevey, was petrified, and the news immediately caused panic among many half-blood wizards or simply Muggle families. The air in the school suddenly became heavy with rumors and suspicions, and the first-year students were now moving towards the castle in groups, as if to prevent them from being attacked if they were acting alone.

At the same time, hiding from the teachers, the school is in full swing to buy and sell amulets, peace charms and other amulets. Joe took out a large pile of amulets that he had prepared and handed them to Fred and George, and the three of them made a fortune again.

Lockhart doesn't have much skills, but he often makes mistakes, and he has a dueling club, which is a great idea, and Joe has to admire, this is a good place to improve his actual combat ability. The only pity was that Harry exposed his parseltongue and was regarded as a successor to Slytherin, and the Dueling Club project went bankrupt.

Then Justin Finch, who had been targeting Harry, was also petrified, which seemed to confirm the rumors that Harry was a Slytherin heir, and Harry began to be alienated by everyone, only Ron, Hermione, Neville, Joe and Luna ignored the rumors, the first few were because of loyalty to friendship and trust in Harry, as for the last two, one knew the truth, and the other didn't care at all. Tough Luna!

Christmas came, Joe returned home and had a good Christmas, and when he returned, he heard Harry say that Hermione had turned into a big cat because she had drunk a compound decoction with cat hair. As a result, Joe was not only not afraid, but also pulled Harry, Ron and Luna ran to secretly take a few pictures, after being discovered, Joe and Luna easily escaped, Harry and Ron were beaten up by Hermione.

But this Hermione is really cute, this is a realistic version of the cat-eared lady! And you can see the whole process of her changing from a cat to a human little by little, how could Joe, who was also fascinated by the ACG culture of the island country, not be excited.

Next, Dumbledore was kicked out of Hogwarts by Fudge and Lucius, who had been eyeing him, but Joe knew it was only a matter of time before he returned with the prestige of a white wizard. Hogwarts is even more nervous because of the loss of the White Wizard's protection. So this is politics, they only care about whether the power in their hands is secure, and they never care about the life or death of the students, in fact, even if they come and pretend to see the petrified students, it is fine! So Lucius and the Ministry of Magic have never been able to defeat Dumbledore, they are still too tender after all.

There was one man who seemed to derive great pleasure from this atmosphere of terror and suspicion. Draco Malfoy walked the school with his toes on his toes as if he had just been assigned as the leader, "I knew my dad was the one who got rid of Dumbledore. In Potions class, he bragged openly with his two henchmen, Crabbe and Goyle, not wanting to lower his voice at all. "I told you that he thinks Dumbledore is the worst headmaster this school has ever had. Maybe we'll probably have a decent headmaster. A person who doesn't want the secret room to close. McGonagall didn't stay long, she was just a substitute for ......" Snape walked quickly past Harry, not commenting on Hermione's empty seat and cauldron.

"Sir," said Malfoy aloud, "sir, why don't you apply for the Headmaster's job?" "Oh, now, Malfoy," he said, though unable to suppress a smile that tugged at his lips, "Professor Dumbledore has only been suspended by his superiors." I dare say he'll be back with us soon. "Well, yes. Malfoy smirked, "I expect Dad to vote for you, sir, if you want to apply for the job." I'll tell Daddy you're the best teacher here, sir......" Snape swaggered up and down the basement, smirking smugly, lucky not to spot Seamus Finigan pretending to vomit into the pot.

"It's very strange to me that people of Muggle descent haven't put away their bags at the moment. Malfoy continued. "Bet 5 Galleons on you, and the next one will surely die. It's not Granger (she's been spotted petrified this morning)—"

Joe suddenly felt a little agitated, and he unleashed a wave of magic on Draco's sleeve, which suddenly caught fire. Snape looked angry, but had to stop because he couldn't find the killer.

Unfortunately, after all this, Joe's mood did not improve at all, and at this time, the bell rang for the end of class, and he picked up his schoolbag and walked towards the school hospital.
