After the banquet, everyone left the auditorium unsatisfied.

The Skull Dance Troupe had already left while they were eating...... This is inevitably a bit disappointing.

"This dance troupe is very difficult to invite."

In the crowd, a young wizard shouted, "My dad told me before that even if the Ministry of Magic wanted to invite them to perform, they would have to wait in line for a long time. ”

"I've heard that they were invited to perform at the last Quidditch World Cup, along with the Quirky Sisters...... People say it was the best opening show in a century. ”

"I didn't expect to see them at Hogwarts, the Headmaster is amazing......"

"Of course, that's Dumbledore......"

The students excitedly discussed what had just happened as they walked out of the auditorium and prepared to go back to their common rooms.

But before they could leave the hall, a terrible howl suddenly came from the direction of the staircase.

The voice is so sharp that it makes your scalp tingle.

The noise of the crowd gradually became quieter......

"What was that sound just now?" Someone asked.

"It's Lady Loris."

Someone said, "I can't be wrong with a numb scalp when I hear it." ”

"Did it catch the school rules violators again...... But all of us are in the auditorium! ”

"It could also be that some dangerous magical beast has escaped from the Forbidden Forest...... Mrs. Loris's voice was a little off, just like when my cat was frightened. ”

"Just check it out......"

Driven by curiosity, the crowd began to speed up and invariably flocked to the staircase where the sound came from to see what was going on.

Anyway, now that the banquet has just ended, it is idle to be idle, as for the possible dangers...... No one cares about this at all.

At this moment, another howl was heard, and people followed the sound to the third floor.

In an empty aisle, they finally saw Lady Loris.

It stood on a statue at the end of the aisle, its back hunched, its hair bursting up, and it looked like a hedgehog.

Words were painted on the wall behind it, and shimmered beneath the burning torches.

[The secret room has been opened,

Those who are enemies of the heirs, be wary. 】

Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood stiffly in front of the wall, looking at the crowd in panic.

Harry seemed to be trying to explain something, but no sooner had he turned his head than Lady Loris howled at him.

Now people finally know what the cry is about.

"Click......"

Colin Creevey squeezed out of the crowd with his camera.

"Harry, I've been looking for you, why didn't you go to the Great Hall for the banquet!"

Harry wanted to explain, too, but Lady Loris didn't give him the chance at all, and now, if they even moved, the cat would rush up and bite the three of them.

Harry had never seen such a nimble cat, and neither he nor Ron Hermione had long blood marks on their bodies.

And for some reason, they can't resist yet.

"Borrowed, borrowed......" Kyle squeezed out of the crowd as well.

Originally, he had just come to join in the fun, but when he saw the words on the wall, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Chamber?

How is this possible?

Riddle's diary was still in his box, and he had carried it with him all the time, and no one else could get in.

But this scene in front of me ...... What's going on again!

Kyle's mind was so messed up that he didn't even notice what Connor was talking about.

He subconsciously walked over.

Lady Loris, who had always had a good relationship with Kyle, didn't give face this time, turned and yelled at him, revealing her sharp claws.

Kyle stopped, not going any further.

When he got closer, he noticed what kind of statue was there where Lady Loris was standing, it was clearly Filch, but he was still motionless with his body contracted, and his head was still bowed, so he was not recognized at the first time.

Others followed.

"Those who are enemies of the heirs, be on the lookout! You're next, mud ......."

Draco Malfoy seemed to think of something, but still didn't say the word.

However, his cold eyes came alive, and his normally bloodless face turned red, and he looked at Hermione with a sinister smile.

In the crowd, Kyle frowned, feeling even more confused, if Filch hadn't been under the petrification spell in his current state...... It would have to be a basilisk.

"No, something must have gone wrong." Kyle thought to himself.

Just as he was about to go to Myrtle's bathroom on the second floor to check on the situation, the professor came......

"What's going on here!"

The crowd parted ways, and Dumbledore walked over, followed by the other professors. In the blink of an eye, he made his way past the crowd and walked in front of Filch.

Lady Loris finally stopped freating, and it jumped to the ground, standing quietly at Dumbledore's feet.

"Now, everyone go back to the dormitory!"

Dumbledore said, "As for you, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger, come with me, I need your help with something. ”

Lockhart stepped forward in a hurry.

"My office is closest to here, Headmaster, upstairs...... And I myself have a deep understanding of this kind of black magic, and when I was in the Custer tribe, I helped people there solve similar situations. They ......"

"Thank you, Gidero, just go to your office."

Dumbledore interrupted his chatter, "Could you please help inform Madam Pomfrey at the school hospital, I think she needs to come over." ”

"Of course, Headmaster."

Again, the crowd split a path and let them pass.

Lockhart was very excited, and with a lively look, he hurried in the direction of the school hospital.

The other professors followed Dumbledore away, and instructed the prefects around them to take everyone back to the common room.

After the professors left, the crowd instantly became noisy, and everyone was discussing what happened to Filch.

And what about the so-called secret room?

Malfoy was surrounded by the most people, but he just smirked and didn't say anything.

The prefects were looking for students from their respective houses, and Harris was among them.

"Kyle, let's go back......" Connor turned her head, and suddenly realized that Kyle, who was still beside her, was gone.

"Cedric, do you see Kyle?"

"He's not ...... all the time Well? What about people? ”

At this time, outside the crowd, Kyle, under the cover of the illusion charm, quickly ran to Myrtle's bathroom.

The quill in the crack of the door was still there.

Pushing open the door, there are a lot of books that will explode inside.

Kyle crouched down and examined the strands of hair pressed under the book...... The location is also right.

"Oh, Kyle, are you here to comfort me?" Myrtle sat on the sink and sobbed and said, "That nasty Peeves, he actually called me ......"

"I'm sorry, Myrtle."

Kyle interrupted her and asked, "Has anyone been here lately?" ”

Myrtle stopped crying, then looked at Kyle suspiciously, "You." ”

"Except for me." Kyle continued to ask, "Has anyone else been here?" ”

"No one is going to come here but you, and who lets this have a poor, weeping, sullen myrtle."

As she spoke, she began to cry again.

Kyle wasn't in much of a mood to comfort her right now, though.

After leaving the bathroom, he found another empty classroom and took out the box from the shape-shifting lizard skin bag he had brought with him.

The furnishings in the entrance room are the same as before leaving.

Kyle retrieved the magic box from under the bed, but as soon as he picked it up, his heart pounded twice.

The weight of the box is lighter.

"Won't you...... It must be my delusion, no one can come here. ”

Kyle took a few deep breaths and nervously opened the box.

And then there was nothing in the box...... The diary that was originally placed in it is also gone.

"Wait...... It must be that I opened it the wrong way. ”

Kyle closes the lid and opens it again.

After trying five times in a row, Kyle had to admit that the journal was indeed lost, and it was right under his nose.

At that moment, a Billy Wigg worm staggered over.

Seeing it, Kyle hurriedly asked.

"Has anyone been here?"

The Billy Wigg Worm hovered in mid-air, with the same expression on his face as Myrtle.

It let out a subtle chirp.

"I'm the only one here?"

"Are you sure?"

The Billy Wigg worm flew up and down, nodding its head.

The undying Kyle finds Sniff and Noble again and asks the same question, but gets the same answer.

Sniffing poked his head around the room, making sure there was no smell of a second human wizard here.
