Chapter 130: Panic continues
When everyone is used to the presence of a person, no one notices his importance, and after Dumbledore's departure, Dumbledore, the backbone of Hogwarts, is very important to everyone.
To the surprise and relief of Mr. Malfoy, Dumbledore handed over the headmistress without any resistance after failing to catch the killer during the Christmas holidays.
Dumbledore had appointed Professor McGonagall as acting Headmaster, but none of the Great Malfoy and the other pure-blood rulers took her seriously.
After getting rid of Dumbledore, Mr. Malfoy did not make any more unnecessary moves, and did not join the other directors to find a new headmaster for Hogwarts. Mr. Malfoy probably felt that it would be good to maintain the status quo, and that an incompetent acting principal would be in the better interest of their plans.
"Your subordinate did a good job, I didn't expect him to really kick Dumbledore out of school!" Clarion Pandora wrote in Riddle's diary.
"How do you know who I am?" The handwriting on the diary suddenly became a little messy, and it seemed that the owner who wrote it was not in a calm mood.
"You have forgotten that you once proclaimed your noble blood to your suitors and your allies when you were in power, and that our Pandora family has as long a history as your Slytherins. We have witnessed the rise and fall of your family, and naturally we know the surname of Marvolo, who represents the Slytherin bloodline. ”
"You haven't told me your Mavolo last name, but you can still know your full name by looking at your student profile at Hogwarts, Lord Dark Lord!"
"Since your Pandora family is also a pure-blood family with a long heritage, why have I never heard of your name?"
"Pandora, in the name of the cursed deity. Although our family inherits the powerful power of the curse through the blood link, our family members have also been suffering from the curse. Our family members have powerful curse abilities, but their own bodies have been suffering from curses. Therefore, we have super powerful spells inherited by our families, but no one can cast them. ”
"So you need the help of the basilisk?" Although he can't control Kria as directly as he does with Klee, Riddle also feels that he can hold the other party with this.
As one of the Hogwarts Four, Slytherin's abilities are not to be underestimated. Although the basilisk was invented by the dastardly Helbo, Slytherin also added his own methods to his basilisk.
With the Pandora family's abilities, it may not be difficult to find a wizard helper who can speak in a parseltongue, but they don't have the ability to summon and command the basilisk in the secret room.
Now only Morfin Marvolo, Tom Riddle and Harry Potter have this ability, yes, Harry Potter's Parseltongue ability also comes from Voldemort, he is a Horcrux that Voldemort does not know.
If Harry knew this, he might be able to use the mana of the Lotus Lamp to fight against Erlang God, who was also able to use the Lotus Lamp, just like the agarwood in the Lotus Lamp. Although it was only a fragment of the soul of the Horcrux, the magic of the Parseltongue they spoke was exactly the same as that of the Parseltongue of Voldemort before his death. Slytherin promised that only his descendants would be able to control the basilisk, in the Parseltongue that his magic had inherited.
"Yes, the magic of the thousand-year-old basilisk is indeed enough to completely erase the curse that we have inherited for countless generations." Clearl didn't seem to mind telling Riddle about her family's secrets. If Riddle had watched a lot of TV series, he might have been careful. For dangerous characters, the more she puts her heart on you, and even gives the handle, it also means that the other party has more ill intentions towards her.
But Voldemort, who had never understood these conceited and arrogant people, thought that he could use this to hold the other party and take the initiative, and he didn't feel the danger approaching at all.
"Amazing magic, talking to you feels like you're talking to a real wizard!"
"I am a memory, a memory of my student days, sealed in this diary for fifty years." Clarcel never mentioned the name Horcrux when he spoke to Voldemort, and Voldemort used his usual tricks to deceive Claret.
"So, you don't know everything about you as an adult?"
"Tell me!" Voldemort couldn't wait to say, and when Clearle praised Lucius, Voldemort's heart exploded. Because Lucius disobeyed his orders and sent his Horcruxes to Hogwarts, Voldemort couldn't wait to find out what had happened to his body. When he was not too far away from the main body, the Horcrux could feel an intermittent connection with the main body, but now he couldn't feel the main body at all.
Claire didn't keep Voldemort waiting too long, and told Riddle in the diary what had happened to Voldemort.
Lord Voldemort, who had grown so powerful that he had trampled the Ministry of Magic under his feet, was defeated by a baby of a few years old sounded incredible, like a fairy tale. But there was no need for Clare to lie, and Riddle's journal was silent for a long time, not knowing what to think again.
"Now that Harry Potter is at Hogwarts, how about it, would you like to meet him?" Clearll concluded.
After the students learned of Dumbledore's departure from Hogwarts, fear quickly gripped the school. Professor McGonagall tried to keep the school running after Dumbledore left, but she couldn't hold it up. Without Dumbledore at school, the students all had a sense that school was no longer safe.
Only a small number of students who did not return to school did receive Professor McGonagall's letter of urging, and all of them were Muggle-born students and some senior students.
The senior students had to face the OWTS and NEWTS exams, and Muggle-born wizards were not like wizards from wizarding families, who had other ways to learn magic even if they didn't come to school, so they had to bite the bullet.
As for the half of the students who returned to school, they now regret coming to school with some regrets. If they can, they want to apply to go home immediately.
Only the Slytherin, who didn't have to worry about his safety at all, didn't look like it matched the atmosphere of the school. Not only are all the staff present, but they also have a happy smile on their faces all day long, and they seem to enjoy the terrifying atmosphere in the school right now.
Slytherin's move sparked discontent among the other houses in the school -
"Why don't you just kick all the Slytherin students out of the school? It's clear that all the attacks in the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets are Slytherin's creation, and as long as there is no Slytherin House in the school, won't the world be peaceful? ”
Maple and the others had expected that Krill Pandora would act immediately after Dumbledore left. But to their surprise, after a week of nervousness, the school was still calm, and Maple and the others couldn't guess what kind of medicine was being sold in the other party's gourd.
Sensing the horror of the school, Professor McGonagall made timely arrangements to send the students back to their dormitories after each class.
Although there were no new attacks a week after the start of the new semester, the tensions among the students did not ease much.
With the exception of the Slytherin students, the students of the other houses brought a rooster with them when they returned to school, and some of the timid ones even brought several roosters with spare.
Then after the start of the semester, there was a scene where the students went to class with roosters in their arms, and they all wore a pair of glasses on their eyes.
During a class, a bunch of roosters were crowing one after another, making a mess of the class, but Professor McGonagall didn't stop it, and she hoped that the roosters would keep the students safe.
The Weasley brothers had a new lucrative business, and they were selling roosters to the students in large quantities. Even though the price of roosters is several times higher than usual, it is still in short supply.
Since the beginning of the school year, although there have been no more basilisk attacks, the students' roosters have often been attacked and killed.
Students can constantly buy roosters from outside the school, and unless they kill all of the roosters in the UK, it will be impossible for Clair to clear the way for the basilisk to move. However, her methods were not useless, at least she succeeded in creating a climate of terror among the students.
Every student immediately becomes nervous after their dies and suddenly feels insecure. When someone was peddling a rooster, they didn't bargain and bought it immediately, and they bought two or three at a time.
Although only a dozen roosters were killed in a week, after the news spread, several times the panic spread among the crowd. Then the Weasley brothers' business became popular, and even the students who were not attacked bought another rooster from the Weasley brothers.
Now with the exception of Slytherin, the students of the other houses each have more than two roosters.
Maple and Hermione also have them, and Maple probably has the largest number of roosters in his hands. It's just that Maple and Hermione turned the in their hands into a small wooden bead with Transfiguration, and then strung it together as a bracelet and wore it.
As long as the basilisk dares to come out, they immediately disarm the transfiguration, so that they can give the basilisk a deadly attack by surprise.
Aside from Harry, the other students were unaware of Maple and Hermione's methods, so much so that Maple seemed to go to class empty-handed, and was considered a virtuoso by the other students. Maple just didn't hold the rooster, so he walked in front of the other students, and even won a lot of academic top points.
Against this backdrop, Lockhart's bale came out again.
"I don't think there will be any more trouble, Minerva. Now that the killer has been taken away by the Ministry of Magic, it's time for the attack to end, and I don't think the Chamber of Secrets will ever be opened. If the Ministry hadn't been the first to do it, I'd have caught Hagrid sooner or later. Lockhart blinked, revealing his usual smile.
Professor McGonagall froze, the textbook in her hand slipping to the ground unconsciously. Professor McGonagall was stunned, she was stunned by Lockhart's ignorance, but Lockhart still felt good about herself, and thought that Professor McGonagall was impressed by his brilliant talent, and the smile on her face was even brighter.
Lockhart's talent is indeed the best in Britain, but not his level of magic, but his cheekiness!
