Chapter 186: The Open Chamber of Secrets (4-in-1 Chapter)
Twelve-year-old Ron doesn't have the ability to take a car, but it's a car that can fly in the sky, and you don't have to worry about traffic jams, as long as you fly high enough, you don't even have to worry about hitting something.
But this can't avoid Ron's terrible driving jishu, the whole car was driven crookedly by him, and what is even more unfortunate is that no ordinary human has seen it.
One can imagine how surprised an ordinary person is when he sees a flying car.
Harry and Ron, who were destined to be unlucky on this day, finally saw the Hogwarts Express below as they swayed all the way, and following the train, Ron flew crookedly with the car.
The sun was slowly setting and Hogwarts was already in sight, but the hapless car seemed to suddenly lose control and crashed into a stout beating willow.
Fortunately, Harry and Ron saved their lives under the slightly sluggish attack of the beating willow with their relatively agile skills, as for the car.
Sorry, the guy had already run into the Forbidden Forest on his own, but it had returned their luggage to them before leaving, at least it was a bit of a human touch.
By the next day, almost everyone in Hogwarts had learned about Harry and Ron's feat the previous night, and they even made it to the newspapers.
Of course, this was certainly not good news for Harry and Ron.
The twin brothers, who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, spread the word more and more exaggeratedly, and in the mouths of the two of them, Harry and Ron felt as if they had fought the Dark Lord, and even though everyone knew that this was not the case, they were still happy to hear their story about the added vinegar.
At breakfast, Ron received a roaring letter from Mrs. Weasley, whose owl was apparently too old and staggered like a plane crash and fell into Hermione's jar. Splashed with milk and feathers all over them.
"Errol!" Ron cried, lifting the wet owl in the milk jug. Errol was unsteady on his feet, fell down again, and did not wake up. It also had a wet red envelope in its mouth.
"Ah, isn't itβ" Ron gasped.
"It's alright, it can't die," Hermione said, gently stroking its feathers with her fingertips.
"It's not it - it's this. Ron said, pointing to the red envelope.
Harry couldn't see anything special, but Neville looked at it with a look of horror, as if the envelope was going to explode at any moment.
"What's going on?" asked Harry.
"She sent me a yelling letter to- Ron almost fainted.
"Ron. You'd better turn it on," Neville whispered timidly.
"If you don't open it, it can be more troublesome. My grandmother once sent me one, and I ignored it, and it turned outβ" he swallowed, "it's terrible anyway." β
Harry's gaze moved from their terrified faces to the red envelope.
"What's a howl letter?" he asked.
Ron's attention was focused on the letter, and the corners of the letter began to smoke.
"Turn it on," Neville urged, "and it'll be over in minutes." β
Ron shuddered and took the letter from Errol's mouth. Smooth, tear open. Neville shoved his fingers into his ear. In the blink of an eye, Harry understood. He thought the letter had exploded, and an angry voice filled the hall. It even shook the dust off the ceiling.
β...... I wouldn't be surprised if they stole the car, and if they expelled you. If I catch you, you'll have a good look. I don't think you'd ever think your mom and dad would find out that the car was missing. How worried would you ......?"
Mrs. Weasley's voice was at least a hundred times louder than usual, howling in the air. The plates and spoons on the table were shaken up and down, and the sound of the stone wall bouncing back was deafening.
Everyone in the hall turned to see who had received the shouting letter. Ron slumped in his chair, eager to huddle himself so that his scarlet face would not be seen.
β...... I received a letter from Dumbledore last night, and your father almost died of shame. We worked so hard to bring you up, and we never taught you to do this, and you and Harry almost lost your lives......"
Harry finally waited for his name to appear. He pretended to put his hands in his ears and couldn't hear the sound that resounded through the hall.
β...... It's a shame for the family, and your father is suspended from work at work for questioning, and it's all your fault! If you don't follow the rules again, we will take you home immediately. β
When he finally finished speaking, people's ears were still ringing, "buzzing." The red envelope fell from Ron's hand to the ground, and soon burst into flames of its own accord, burning to ashes in one fell swoop.
Harry and Ron sat in their seats, speechless for a long time. A few people laughed, and then there was a whisper in the hall.
Hermione closes Traveling on a Ship with Vampires and looks down at Ron.
"I don't think you expected that, Ron, but you-" "Don't say I deserve it. Ron retorted.
Lin Xiao knew what was going to happen next when he saw the letter, so he sealed his hearing early, and only after knowing that the roaring letter had turned into ashes, he reopened his hearing.
"I think it must be able to quarrel, right?" Lin Xiao thought with a smile in his heart.
He didn't mean to sympathize with Harry and Ron, people are like that, only after being taught a lesson will they know how to think with their brains, rather than recklessly putting them into action without thinking through their heads.
Apparently Ron had learned his lesson today, but I don't know if he figured it out.
Thinking that he couldn't stand the strange stares of the others, Ron and the others quickly settled the breakfast and left the dining hall directly.
But after they left, they were still discussing the howling letter.
For Ron, this was unlucky enough, and Hermione thought that such a punishment was enough, but she didn't sneer at Ron and them anymore.
When Harry and the others went to class, Lin Xiao regained his free body, but he didn't go to the Forbidden Forest to find the original place to cultivate, but directly nested in the lounge and cultivated quietly.
In the past, he was worried that he would be discovered because his strength was not as good as Dumbledore, but now Lin Xiao obviously didn't have to worry about it. Therefore, he can rest assured that he can cultivate boldly.
In the past few days, he has been thinking about a question, that is, whether he should learn the wizard's Animagus, this magic that is not magic can be said to be a talent, and after learning and discovering it, it may double your strength, but it may also be just for show.
For example, the cat that Professor McGonagall changed can only be used for posturing.
After thinking about it for a few days, Lin Xiao still decided to raise his cultivation to the pinnacle of a second-level Yuan Martial Artist first, and then think about whether to study this Animagus.
It is worth mentioning that the teacher of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts this school year was a guy named Gilderoy Lockhart. This guy is a big pustule in the movie, but Lin Xiao saw him at the sorting ceremony yesterday, although he can't be said to be powerful, but it's definitely not a big pus.
If a guy who has reached 148 in battle is also considered a big pustule, then I'm afraid that many wizards on this shijie can only be called waste.
If Lin Xiao didn't guess, Dumbledore should have invited Rohard to come mainly for the second experience of Harry, and Lockhart obviously sold Dumbledore a face to him, plus he himself should really like the feeling of being surrounded by little girls, so he didn't keep this job that might ruin his reputation.
It's time again that it's hard to pretend to be B. But it's much easier to pretend to be B.
With a high self-esteem on the one hand, and a flawed performance on the other, he thought he would soon be able to get Harry to identify him as a big.
Lin Xiao didn't like Dumbledore's actions a little, although he meant it was for Harry's good. But this act of imposing one's own will on others through unknown means is an act of deprivation of one's freedom in a sense.
Thinking about it from another perspective, if Lin Xiao was Harry, he would definitely not like his life to be arranged by Dumbledore early, and then he would move forward step by step according to the path he had arranged in advance.
Although Zuihou has created a legendary story in the wizarding world.
As a viewer of the past and present. Lin Xiao had thought about whether to change Harry's life, but he thought that he was not so idle, and this kind of thing would not be of any benefit to him.
Think about it. Lin Xiao also gave up this idea.
On the contrary, Hermione has always taken him, and Lin Xiao wants to change the trajectory of her life.
According to the normal plot, Hermione Zuihou's life is not good, and marrying Ron can't be said to be bad, but Lin Xiao subjectively doesn't like Ron very much, and she Zuihou also used magic to make her parents forget her, obviously she was also very painful in her heart when she made this decision.
Lin Xiao and Hermione haven't been getting along for a day or two, and he still has a good impression of this little girl.
Of course, this is not the kind of good feeling between men and women, but a kind of relationship between an older brother looking at his sister or a father looking at his daughter.
"Teach her something when you have time. Lin Xiao thought silently in his heart.
......
Life at Hogwarts is always peaceful.
But there are all kinds of weirdness in this calm, and of course, some small disputes are staged all the time.
It was the day Gryffindor's team was working on their new tactics, and Harry was with his friends Ron and Hermione, frustrated that Captain Wood was forcing him to come to training.
Especially when he saw Colin sitting not far away towards his license, his little face looked even more bitter.
God knows how sick he was of being looked at like a monkey.
At this moment, a group of Slytherin players in green clothes suddenly came to the other side of the court, each of them holding a broom, and Lin Xiao lying in Hermione's arms was enough to reach that those brooms were the latest type of Halo 2001.
Everyone at Hogwarts knows that Slytherin and Gryffindor are not on the right card, and the people of the two houses will quarrel when they meet, not to mention that today is obviously the day when the Gryffindor team uses the court, but now the Slytherin people are here with broomsticks, needless to say, they also know that this group of guys also needs to use the court.
Lin Xiao didn't have much interest in these children's morale battles, but unfortunately Hermione suddenly rose up today and hugged him to watch Harry's training, so that Lin Xiao couldn't find a place to practice well. I can only deduce the undead magic in my mind with my eyes closed to pass the time.
By this time, the enraged Wood had already quarreled with the captain of the Slytherin team, Marcus Flint, who was a head taller than Wood, and looked like a tall man and a menacing man.
"Flint!" Wood shouted at Slytherin, "this is our training time!
Marcus Flint tilted his head and replied sinisterly, "It's a big place, Wood. Angelina, Alya, and Katie also came over. There are no women on the Slytherin team. They stood side by side in front of the Gryffindor team, squinting at Wood.
"But I booked it!" Wood was visibly furious. "I booked it early in the morning. β
"Ahh "But I have Professor Snape's special note." As he spoke, he pulled a note out of his pocket.
The note read: "I, Professor Snape, have chartered the Slytherin team to practice at the Quidditch pitch today in order to train a new player, the Seekers.
"You've found a new Seeker?" Wood was distracted, "Where?"
Behind the six tall figures came a seventh man, shorter, with a false smile on his pointy, pale face. He's Decora Malfoy.
"You're Lucius Malfoy's son?" Fred said, looking at Malfoy in disgust.
"It's strange that you're talking about Darka's father. Interesting," Flint said, smiles on their players' faces.
"Let me show you the gift he generously gave to the Slytherins. Together, the seven of them took out their brooms. Seven polished brand new brooms, a set of large golden letters sparkled in the morning sun: 'Light Wheel 2001' in the morning sun, unfolding in front of the Gryffindor players.
"This is the latest style. I only got to buy it last month. Flint said casually. While flicking the dust off the handle end with your hand.
"I think that's a lot faster than the Halo 2000, as for the old-fashioned Sweep of the Seven Stars," he smiled wickedly at Fred and George, who were holding the Fifth Generation of the Sweep Seven Stars tightly in their hands.
"It's just too far off!"
Time. No one on the Gryffindor team was silent. Malfoy's smirk grew louder and harder, squeezing his cold eyes into a line.
"Look," Flint said. "Two more of them occupy the court. β
Ron and Hermione walked over through the grass to see what was going on.
"What's going on?" Ron asked Harry. "Weishenme isn't practicing, what is he doing here?" he stared at Malfoy, who was wearing a Slytherin jersey.
"I'm the new Slytherin Seeker, Weasley," Malfoy said triumphantly. "Everyone is admiring the new broom that my dad bought for the team!"
Ron looked at the seven new clusters of broomsticks in front of him, and his mouth opened wide and he forgot to speak.
"Not bad?" said Malfoy fluently, "maybe you Gryffindor team can scrape together some money to buy some new broomsticks." Then these 'Seven Stars Sweeping' products of yours can be bought for museum exhibits. The Slytherin team erupted in laughter.
"At least the Gryffindor team doesn't have to spend money to get in," Hermione retorted, "and they come in on real ability." β
The smug look on Malfoy's face vanished.
"No one asks for your opinion. You stinking little mudblood. He scolded angrily.
"Huh?" Lin Xiao, who had been lying in Hermione's arms with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He had known for a long time that an argument would break out if Slytherin and Gryffindor were put together, but he hadn't expected Malfoy to say such a nasty thing.
Lin Xiao only remembered a general framework about the plot of Harry Potter, and some specific small details had been almost forgotten in more than a year, unless he thought about it carefully, he really couldn't remember it.
Suddenly hearing Malfoy's words, Lin Xiao remembered that there was indeed such a scene in the movie.
Hermione herself was not born into a wizarding family, and she didn't know the specific meaning of the word 'mudblood', but those who knew the meaning of these three words changed their faces at the moment, even the faces of several Slytherin students.
Without waiting for Lin Xiao to do anything to Malfoy, Ron, who knew the meaning of these three words very well, took out his broken wand and recited a spell on Malfoy.
Unfortunately, he seemed to have forgotten that his wand was broken and glued together, so everyone saw a green light shoot at Ron himself, and his face changed. He bent down and vomited.
"Oh my God~!" Lin Xiao covered his eyes with his cat's paws, and couldn't bear to look at the next scene.
How disgusting is it for a person to spit out a bunch of slugs from his mouth?
Even Lin Xiao, who was used to seeing bloody scenes, felt that he would definitely be sick to his stomach after seeing it, so it was better not to watch it.
Ron frightened Harry and Hermione by doing this, and the two of them rushed up to support Ron, who was almost on the ground, and Lin Xiao fell to the ground with a slight jump.
He turned his head to look at Malfoy, who was looking proud, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.
"Although the child's words are unscrupulous, but you are not a child, you can be regarded as making you remember a little longer!" Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed. A telekinesis worked in Malfoy's mouth, followed by a jerk.
"Ah~!"
With a scream, Malfoy's whole person suddenly lunged forward, and a line of blood crossed the air, staining the green grass on the ground with drops of blood.
On the grass, the two front teeth fell to the ground neatly, and there were bright red blood stains on them.
Everyone who had previously focused on Ron turned their heads to look at it, and even Ron, who was vomiting, looked up with difficulty.
When everyone saw that Malfoy's open mouth was missing two front teeth, their faces suddenly turned strange.
Harry and Hermione smiled with relief. Ron let out an eerie laugh as he vomited, looking satisfied with Malfoy's fate at the moment.
When had the pampered Malfoy been treated like this, the sharp pain in his mouth made two lines of tears flow from his eyes, and he burst into tears in front of everyone.
"Haha......!"
A burst of laughter rang out. But it was the Gryffindor crowd who couldn't help but laugh on the spot when they saw Malfoy crying.
"Who did that?" Flint glared angrily at the laughing Gryffindor group, his angry eyes as if he wanted to find the hidden murderer among them.
And Lin Xiao, the initiator of all this, is taking an elegant catwalk at the moment. Follow Hermione towards Hagrid's hut, and the Slytherin people tried to stop them, but they had to get past Wood.
The farce at the stadium is over. Although Malfoy wanted to find out the murderer who had pulled out his two front teeth, he had no evidence at all, so he had to leave it at that.
In the days that followed, Hogwarts seemed to be calm again, and nothing unusual happened except for the fact that Gryffindor students and Slytherin students would always stare at each other when they met.
In the blink of an eye, September has passed, and October is coming.
A recent rumor that has sparked a wave of terror at Hogwarts is the legend of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, where the Successor of Slytherin is said to have opened the Chamber of Secrets and that there have been attacks.
The first one to suffer was a cat, of course it wasn't Lin Xiao's changed Leselin, how could a mere basilisk petrify him, that cat was raised by Squib Filch.
The first to be discovered was Harry, who had just attended the 500th anniversary of Nicol's death party the headless, but on their way back Harry heard a voice that no one else could hear, but they saw the line on the wall and Lady Norris, the cat the caretaker Filch, who was hanging from the torch and stabbed under it.
It stiffened, apparently petrified.
When Filch arrived here, they immediately identified Harry as the murderer, but Dumbledore and the others, who arrived later, didn't think so, because with Harry's second-year magic level, it was impossible to perform such a strong petrification technique.
But at the same time, Harry's appearance here aroused the curiosity of many people, among whom Snape sneered at Harry and the others, which made Harry very annoyed.
Since this happened, the whole of Hogwarts has been enveloped in a state of terror, but the Slytherin students are holding their heads high every day, as if they are celebrating something.
Lin Xiao has been busy improving his cultivation these days, and he hasn't paid too much attention to the big snake that is scurrying around in the school, after Mrs. Noris is petrified. It didn't take long for the next attacker to appear.
This time it was Colin, the first-year student who adored Harry.
Harry was lying in the hospital room at Hogwarts when Colin was attacked, his arm had lost a bone from Gildero's troubles, and he felt a little happy when he saw Colin with the camera in his hand but stiff all over.
Okay, Harry knew he shouldn't have to, but this Colin was clingy and annoying.
On the other hand, Lin Xiao found the magical house of Hogwarts during this time, the place known as the Room of Requirement.
It was a wall on the eighth floor. It was supposed to be a wall, to be exact, but as long as someone walks in front of it and concentrates on what you need, then it will be there.
Lin Xiao also remembered this place temporarily, he had been in there for several days, usually going over after breakfast in the morning, and then coming back before dinner the evening.
Hermione has also been completely accustomed to Lin Xiao, who often disappears, from the anxious search at the beginning, to now Hermione will not have any worries. Because she knew that Lin Xiao would come back at dinner every time, and she was never late.
For this reason, Hermione also repeatedly ridiculed Lin Xiao for being a foodie, which made Lin Xiao very depressed.
Now Lin Xiao usually spends his days studying magic, and the night is his time to cultivate. Sleeping was already a rather foreign thing to him.
During the day, in the Room of Request, Lin Xiao would not only study those necromancy, but also study the principles of Animagus, and he had already decided to study this magical magic. And I'm also looking forward to what my Animagus will be like.
Panic continued to spread in Hogwarts, and I don't know who started to spread the rumor that Harry was the heir, but this statement made Harry very chagrined.
And the other side. At a time when the whole of Hogwarts was panicking because of a notebook left by Voldemort when he was young, what was Mr. Voldemort, the author of all this, doing at the moment?
......
'Shhhhh......h
A giant python with the thickness of a thigh was swallowing a letter and staring at the figure under the black robe shrouded in front of him, and on the opposite side of the figure was a dark red sofa that looked a little dirty.
At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the sofa.
"If I fail, I know Dumbledore won't let me get this Philosopher's Stone so easily. On the couch, a man the size of a baby, but with a terrible face, suddenly opened his eyes, and in his baby-like palms, several shards of dark red crystals were lying quietly in the palm of his hand.
"Master, what should we do next?" the figure in front of him suddenly asked, under the black robe.
"Wait, although the Philosopher's Stone has not allowed me to recover, its residual energy has still boosted my Liliang, and when a suitable opportunity comes, it will be when I Voldemort makes a comeback!"
But looking at his appearance at the moment, it is obvious that the Philosopher's Stone has not restored him to his peak state, but as he said, although he has not returned to his peak state, the residual energy of the Philosopher's Stone still makes his fragile body improve a lot, at least not as fragile as before.
"Master, do you need to gather the former brethren to come back?" the man asked cautiously.
"No, I have other arrangements!" Voldemort's terrifying face actually showed a smile, but it added a bit of hideousness to his already terrifying face.
......
The Dark Lord is recuperating while his Horcruxes are wreaking havoc at Hogwarts.
Lin Xiao didn't know if Voldemort did this on purpose, wasn't he afraid that his Horcrux would be destroyed by Dumbledore?
It shouldn't have been his intention, it was just that Mr. Malfoy was scared and threw the notebook to Ginny, it can be said that all this was unexpected by Voldemort, he didn't know that one of his Horcruxes had been lost to Hogwarts, and even if he knew, it was useless, and he couldn't retrieve his Horcrux in his current state.
Time passed day by day under the wreak of Horcruxes.
Lin Xiao's research on Animagus is also getting deeper and deeper, and as he continues to study, some secrets about Animagus are gradually revealed in front of his eyes.
During this time, Hermione and the others have been trying to find out who is the true heir of Slytherin, the last time Harry was considered by everyone to be the successor of Slytherin because of the Parseltongue exposure, but Harry knew that he was not, so this heir must be someone else.
At the same time, Lin Xiao also discovered that Hermione was refining the compound decoction, and she was already close to success.
A few days later, when Lin Xiao was wandering around the school, he saw the strange appearance of Goyle and Crabbe, and Lin Xiao could tell at a glance that these two guys were turned by Harry and Ron using Polyjuice Potion.
"These two boys!" Lin Xiao shook his head with a wry smile, and then stopped caring about the two of them, and walked straight towards the corridor on the other side with cat steps.
Harry and Ron weren't destined to get the answers they wanted this time, and of course, they weren't for nothing, at least they knew that the Chamber of Secrets had been opened once fifty years ago, and it would have been easy to investigate if they knew that.
"Investigate, you are doomed to tragedy. Lin Xiao thought silently as he walked.
Maybe it's the limitation of age, whether it's Harry or Ron, they always stay on the surface when thinking about problems, and they are easily confused by some superficial evidence, and they can't see the inner truth of things at all.
It was the same last time, and it was the same this time.
Then, within a few days, Lin Xiao found that Harry had an extra diary full of dark aura in his hand.
Well, Lin Xiao had to admit that this Horcrux was really not very good at hiding itself, did it really think that Dumbledore hadn't discovered it?
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes, too lazy to look at the diary in Harry's hand, and after eating his breakfast, he jumped off the table to the ground, and then walked straight away.
The three of Hermione had already been surprised by this, they had seen the IQ of Hermione's cat more than dozens of times, and now even if Lin Xiao suddenly stood on his feet and talked to them, they probably wouldn't be too surprised.
"Tom Riddle, huh. Lin Xiao muttered this name in his heart, and couldn't help but laugh a few times
PS: It's the most boring to go to some relatives who are not very familiar with the house to eat, but I can't finish eating and leave, helpless......!
