When they heard the inexplicable sound, Harry and Ron quickly moved in the direction from which the voice came.

"Hiss......"

Ron gasped. I didn't know how to describe the scene in front of me for a while. Harry swallowed as well.

On the wall in front of them, something was shining. They slowly approached, squinting to make out in the darkness. Between the two windows, on the wall a foot above the ground, there was some scribbling, shimmering in the light of the burning torches.

The Chamber of Secrets has been opened,

Those who are enemies of the heirs, be wary.

As Harry stepped forward, he fell from the water under his feet and fell on his stomach. Ron was brought down because he didn't hold him when he pulled him.

The two of them got up from the ground rubbing their buttocks and rubbing their faces.

Then they saw what was in front of them.

Looking at Mrs. Loris hanging from the lamp in front of her. Harry and Ron's faces turned pale in an instant. They've always hated the damn cat, though. But when the cat really died in front of them in such a tragic state, they still felt fear and pity after all.

Harry looked at Lady Loris in front of him, and a feeling of compassion suddenly welled up in his heart. Some strange memories came to his mind. So he subconsciously stepped forward and wanted to take Lady Loris off. But Ron stopped him all at once.

"Shouldn't we save ......?"

"We should leave!"

Harry's words were retorted by Ron. Ron didn't think that the two of them could mix such a thing in front of him. And they are standing here, with the style and behavior of the two of them on weekdays, it is inevitable that they will not be treated as murderers. But it's just the two of them.

If you don't leave now, I'm afraid that the yellow mud will fall into your pants.

But unfortunately, it was a step too late after all. A group of students had already gathered around.

The students first glanced at the incomprehensible words. Then he focused his eyes on Harry.

Students like Ernie, Draco, and Pansy all changed their expressions when they saw the words on the wall.

But none of them spoke immediately.

Malfoy looked at Harry with some suspicion. Ernie looked a little surprised.

"Stop!"

Filch pushed away the onlookers, saw the tragic situation in front of him, widened his eyes, and walked out with a hideous expression, with a touch of resentment on his face.

He looked at Mrs. Loris, whose expression was frightened, her hair exploded, and she was motionless, and she couldn't help but feel sad and sad in her heart. But the next moment, he stared at Harry in front of him menacingly, and his tone was resentful.

"You! You killed Lady Loris!"

Such a sound is hardly like a sound that one person can make. And it's like an old cat that has been robbed of its child. It was so terrible that it was like a ghost crying.

"I didn't!" Harry defended himself loudly. The expression was flustered and at the same time with a hint of firmness.

Unfortunately, Filch ignored Harry's arguments. He seems to have lost the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. Just looked at Harry with hatred.

….

Filch approached Harry step by step, and Harry stepped back step by step.

Originally, Harry just thought Filch hated them and liked to embarrass them. But in fact, he also looked down on Filch a little. After all, in the eyes of many senior students. Filch is annoying, but it's not difficult to deal with. He's a squib. How could the Squib have too much resistance in front of the wizards?

The same goes for Luke, who once said that he wasn't even as tricky as his cat when referring to Filch.

It's just that there is no disrespect in his tone. After all...... To Luke, Filch and the cat aren't really that different, and both guys are non-existent types when he's also night out.

Luke had already arrived at the scene at this time. So the students present who had already had some speculation about this matter focused their eyes on Luke.

"Argus!!"

Dumbledore's voice rang out. Filch glared at Harry with a crackled eye. His bloodshot eyes were filled with tears. This made Harry scratch his head for a moment, but at the same time his scalp tingled, he also fell into a kind of surprise.

What's going on???

When Dumbledore got closer, he first stopped Filch's atrocity. He was visibly relieved to see that Harry was okay. At the same time, he also felt a little strange.

Why is Harry so capable of causing trouble? It's just that I didn't stare at it for a while, and something like this happened in front of me.

He looked at Filch, who had stopped, and Harry, who had been pulled by Ron to his side, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he glanced at the writing on the wall over there.

Then, he immediately turned his head to look at Luke.

Of course, the person who did this did not know that Dumbledore was alone. The professors who gathered later, as well as the children of the nobility who knew about this secret thing. and the classmates who followed everyone's gaze and looked at him together.

It can be said that Luke is the focus of the whole game right now.

"The secret room has been opened, and the heir is the enemy, be vigilant ......"

Luke muttered to himself.

The atmosphere on the field fell into a stagnation for a moment.

"Mr. Gaunt, explain!"

Before anyone else could speak, Professor Snape was the first to ask, and of course, he had the same position. Regardless, Luke was also a student of Slytherin.

"It can't be related to Luke...... It's not motivating."

Ernie burst out and said to Snape, "Why did Luke need to do such a thing, what kind of person he is, we all know it......

"I don't want to hear your explanation! Mr. McMillan!"

Professor Snape scolded with a cold face.

Ernie was speechless at his reprimand, and Hannah Abbott behind him tugged at his sleeve. Ernie retreated into the crowd with some reluctance.

"Impossible Professor. It's just a cat, what if Luke kills it in front of Filch? It's not worth the effort."

Pansy Parkinson also stepped forward to explain to Luke.

This time, Snape didn't speak again, but sneered at Luke, "Mr. Gaunt, speak, I don't want to listen to these classmates speak for you anymore."

….

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Luke, as did Harry and Ron. The two of them didn't understand why this matter had anything to do with Luke.

Hermione and Taylor stood aside and looked at Luke a little strangely.

"What the hell is Luke doing?"

Hermione spoke to Taylor in a voice that only two people could hear.

Taylor didn't speak, just shook his head with a somewhat complicated expression.

She didn't know what the hell Luke had in this situation, but she knew that without Luke's advance notice, then the two of them would be fine watching the show.

Right now...... It's Luke's show time.

"Professor, this matter has nothing to do with me."

Luke looked at Snape without fear, and his tone was rather serious.

"You! You! It's you!"

Before Snape could speak, Filch shifted his hateful gaze away. He walked towards Luke with a sense of oppression that was more mournful than dead.

And the ...... who greeted him It was Luke's wand he pulled.

This made the professors on the side nervous. And the students around him also subconsciously took a step back.

Even Filch was so frightened that he lost his momentum.

Luke looked at Filch coldly.

"Mr. Filch...... I warn you, the most annoying thing in my life is that people cheat on me. It's that others have wronged me. The latter is more than the former."

The wand in his hand lit up with a cluster of dark blue flames at the tip of the wand.

"If you don't pay attention to your words and deeds. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

"You! You, you ......."

Filch pointed at Luke, but quickly put it down. Apparently a little afraid that Luke would get into trouble with him.

Ignoring Filch's movements, Luke turned his head and said to the unsightly professors, "Professors can investigate when this happened. I will show my alibi at the time. Again, it's the same as Ernie said. I have no motivation to do so."

He glanced at the wall not far away.

"Anyway...... It's not me."

The vast majority of students chose to trust Luke at this time. The professors had no objections.

But Snape had no intention of letting go.

"So what do you mean...... It says, 'Heir, not you?'

"Of course not me."

Luke and Snape both had bad faces. And when the two of them were fighting the bull, the scene fell silent again, and no one else dared to speak.

"That's weird...... The heir of the secret room is not from the Gaunt family?"

Malfoy's voice wasn't loud at the moment, but it was enough to reach everyone's ears.

As soon as he said this, he knew that something was wrong. Glancing at Luke, whose face was not good-looking, he wanted to give himself a big mouth.

However, Luke didn't blame him, and instead glanced at the crowd gathered around.

….

"Indeed, I'm curious...... Which one? Removed the identity of my heir? It's amazing......

Luke's tone was noticeably cold. It's rare for the students to see Luke get like this. While they felt novel, they also felt a little surprised.

Those who know what the secret room really means, can't figure it out. If Luke is not the heir...... So who else could be?

"Alright, let's all disperse......

Dumbledore waved his hand a little tiredly.

Then he looked at Luke and said, "Come here."

And at this time, Lockhart hurriedly stepped forward.

"My office is closest to here, Headmaster—it's upstairs—you can—"

"Okay, thank you, Gildero...... Mr. Potter, Mr. Wesley, please come along, both of you."

With that, Dumbledore took the first step in the direction of the upper floor.

The silent crowd parted to both sides and let them pass. Lockhart was very excited, and looked alive, and hurried after Dumbledore; Professor McGonagall and Snape followed.

And when he passed Hermione and Taylor, Luke gave them both a smile. Motioned for the two to be relieved. But obviously it didn't have much effect, and the two of them still looked at him with serious faces.

As they walked into Lockhart's dimly lit office, there was a sudden commotion on the wall. Harry saw several photos of Lockhart hiding in a panic, with curling irons in their hair. At this moment, Lockhart lit the candle on the table and stepped back. Dumbledore placed Lady Loris on the polished table and began to examine it carefully.

Dumbledore scrutinized it in the candlelight for a moment. Lockhart, on the other hand, gave him a brief look, then exclaimed, "It must have been a spell that killed it—probably a Transfiguration Torture Charm. I've seen people use this spell many times, and I'm sorry I wasn't there, I happened to know the spell and could have saved it......

"Mr. Gaunt! Rest assured! I'm pretty sure it's not yours with such a spell

Kind of little wizards can deal with or cast! Only a powerful wizard like me can use it. Therefore, this matter must have nothing to do with you."

In the face of Lockhart's vows, Luke also lacked an extra look on his face.

Snape sneered, and Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and shook her head helplessly.

But no one cares about a beam-jumping clown.

"Luke! Give me an explanation!"

Dumbledore took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and placed them on the table, not in a very good tone.

Luke didn't hide it, "Basilisk, Professor. There's a basilisk guarding the vault. Someone did open the secret room. Released the basilisk."

When Luke said the word basilisk, both Snape and Professor McGonagall looked darkened. Dumbledore closed his eyes in some pain.

Ron's eyes widened, and Harry was a little confused.

And similar to Harry's expression, there was Filch. A Squib who is still thinking about learning to cast spells naturally doesn't understand what a basilisk is.

But......

"Basilisk! Ha! Right! I knew it had to be a basilisk! Damn it!"

Lockhart said indignantly, "If I had been there, I would have let this guy walk around without eating it!" Then stared into his eyes. Confront him with my eyes that burn with the flame of justice!"

Thereupon...... The look on Dumbledore's face grew even more pained.

"Professor Lockhart...... It's really amazing."

Snape said coldly.

Lockhart glanced at Snape in surprise, he never expected that the first person to praise him would be the dean of this gloomy Slytherin!

"When it comes to livening up the atmosphere, you're really better than us."

"It's a little funny to say such a terrible thing, and you say that......

I don't update
