The traces in the house are old and covered with dust.

Fifty years ago, Senior Tom emptied the stuff here.

Dumbledore had a complicated expression.

"I thought I knew all the secrets of his castle."

"Looks like I was wrong."

He was very emotional about the past years, his eyes were full of remembrance, as if he saw a handsome young man sitting here, holding a book, looking fanatical.

"Dumbledore was like that, he always felt like he needed to know everything." Snape sneered, "So, do you know where the Dark Lord is now?" ”

Dumbledore turned his head to look at Harry, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

"He's avoiding me." Harry shook his head, "A basilisk, such a big target, but I didn't perceive anything. ”

This is not normal.

Even if he didn't have the senses of a witcher, he still had the ability to speak in a parseltongue, a snake roaming the castle walls, and he had never heard a word of snake language.

Is this possible?

"Maybe it was last year that made him wary." Dumbledore whispered, "But a remnant can't do anything." ”

"I'll let the house-elves keep an eye on what's inside the castle."

Harry hesitated, "Let them pay more attention to Gryffindor's Ginny Weasley and Cerf Sheffield." ”

"Why them?" Dumbledore was a little surprised, "I remember Miss Weasley wasn't in her first year?" ”

"Both of them are the same, they didn't attend Halloween dinners or Quidditch matches, and they have been alone." Harry explained.

He heard, when Professor McGonagall asked about students who weren't at the Quidditch pitch.

Ginny's answer was that she was not feeling well, and she was left alone in the dormitory, and then went straight to the bathroom, and no one could corroborate her.

Cerf Sheffield had similar reasons to Ginny, and no one noticed him.

"I will." Dumbledore nodded solemnly.

They leave the chamber.

Professor McGonagall, who had been guarding the door of the bathroom, cast a concerned look.

Dumbledore explained to him that Snape had sent Harry to the door of the Gryffindor common room and watched him go in before turning to leave.

Most of the lion cubs had gone back to their dormitories, and Ron and Hermione were still doing their homework in front of the fireplace.

Wait for Harry to come over.

Hermione looked up and nervously asked, "Harry, is the matter settled?" ”

"Nope." Harry shook his head, "He's sharp, everything has been diverted. ”

Their faces sank.

"The monster in the Chamber of Secrets knows what's going on." Harry continued, "It's the basilisk to prepare some tools, I remember its weak point being the rooster crow. ”

Ron's expression was slightly distorted.

His transfiguration skills are not bad, but at best he can only achieve the transformation of miniature creatures, such as ladybugs, sparrows, and roosters.

Could it be...

Want to have a rooster in your dorm?

"Alright, Harry, you've got to help me." He sighed and muttered, "I'm still a little off the mark. ”

"Where's Neville?" Harry turned his head to look around, saw the person he was looking for on the other side of the table, and beckoned to him, "Neville, please come over here." ”

Neville walked up with the parchment, his face flushing slightly, "Harry, you have to wait, I haven't finished my homework yet." ”

"It's not about homework." Harry shook his head.

Neville breathed a sigh of relief.

"I wanted to ask about the death party that day." Harry continued, "I just wanted to ask if anything strange happened to you. ”

Neville's face changed, the flush faded, and the paleness welled up, it was obviously not such a wonderful memory.

"When did you and Ginny go?" Harry asked, "Be careful. ”

Neville frowned, struggling to remember, and stammered, "We agreed to meet in the break room at seven, but she was a little late, about ten minutes or so." ”

"Then we went to the death party together, and we didn't encounter anything strange on the way."

"But the death party was really bad."

"It's all ghosts, and there's a bunch of headless horsemen."

"There was nothing for us to eat, the food was all rotten and smelled of foul smell, and we were all very uncomfortable, so Ginny excused herself and left first, citing that she was not feeling well."

"You've been an hour longer than Ginny?" Harry's tone was a little teasing, "Who would dare to say that you don't have the courage to leave with Ginny if I do." ”

Neville's face flushed again, and he shook his head violently, "It's not that much, I'll be there for about twenty minutes more, and it's the end of the band's fourth track." ”

"When I came back, the hallway was quiet, and I couldn't hear the noise of the auditorium, which used to be heard on the grand staircase."

"Then I'll see Lady Loris."

Hermione noticed something and looked at Harry in surprise.

Ron muttered, "Twenty minutes is remarkable, and I don't think I can stay for a minute at the thought of rotten food." ”

"Neville, are you referencing spell work?" Hermione spoke suddenly.

Neville nodded and sighed, "The Expansion Charm is so hard, I've tried it several times, but it's the same as Seamus." ”

"Me too!" Ron found a confidant, "How can someone just learn and be able to perform it smoothly." ”

The two of them looked at Harry and Hermione with a wry.

It's them, the culprits!

As a result, they had to write a seven-inch long essay with no less than 500 valid words.

"There's a Charms class on Tuesday afternoon, and you guys don't work hard." Hermione waved her hand.

Ron hugged his homework and got together with Neville, struggling in pain.

Hermione tugged at Harry's sleeve and led him to the other end of the fireplace, lowering her voice and staring cautiously at Ron's back, "Are you suspicious of Ginny?" ”

"See?" Harry nodded.

"Only Ron's fool can't see it." Hermione frowned, "But why Ginny, she's only in the first grade." ”

Harry also lowered his voice, "Don't forget, Mr. Weasley and Malfoy had a fight during the summer vacation, maybe that's when Malfoy did something." ”

"Ginny wasn't there twice."

"She left the death party twenty minutes before Neville, but she returned to the auditorium only about ten minutes before Neville."

Hermione opened her mouth with a complicated expression: "Do you remember all this?" ”

"Voldemort's remnant is also very powerful." Harry looked down at his hands, "I'll try her somewhere." ”

Hermione nodded, "I'll keep an eye on her too." ”

Harry was about to speak.

She continued to speak, gagging Harry's mouth, "I know, I'll be very careful, no matter how I say I'm a witch, in case Ginny is been... Possessed by a mysterious person, there will always be something unusual. ”

"By the way, do you want to tell Ron about this?"

Harry was silent for a moment, then looked at Ron, who was having an interesting discussion with Neville, and then at Percy, who was sitting at the door of the lounge, meticulously reading the book, "Wait until there is anything, tell Percy." ”

Ron was younger, only a year older than Ginny.

The next day.

The little wizards couldn't escape the fate of Monday's class.

They walked out of the lounge and were surprised to find that the decoration of Hogwarts had changed dramatically overnight.

At the door of each college lounge, there are two huge rooster statues.

In the portrait in the corridor, there are also some noisy roosters for some reason.

Even the armor in the corridor has turned into a metal rooster.
