Chapter 163 Welcome to the Hogwarts Feeding Grounds

Professor McGonagall was obviously a resolute witch. She quickly put aside her distracting thoughts and decided to accept Sean's kindness - after this matter is over, just compensate Sean well, whether it is magic materials of equal value or What.

The alchemist Newt knew was obviously very efficient. On the next day, several huge phonographs were moved into the castle.

"What is that?" The students saw the gramophones.

"Record our screams before we die?" A student who was upset because of the grounding said angrily.

"Shut up, the professors must want to solve this accident." The fifth-year Gryffindor on the side retorted.

The gramophones were quickly placed in front of the entrances and exits of several water pipes.

"Oh~oh~oh~" The huge, overlapping cock crows suddenly resounded through the entire castle. The students in the auditorium who didn't know the situation all raised their heads and looked at the source of the sound in surprise.

The deafening rooster crow lasted for ten minutes, and even Sean couldn't stand it anymore. But in order to ensure the effect, he couldn't find the professors to cast a soundproof magic around the auditorium - what if there were water pipes underground in the auditorium.

After a moment of calm, the gramophone changed its position and made a loud sound again. The students had no choice but to cast ear-closing spells on each other to block out some of the noise.

This spell fills the ears of everyone around with an unidentifiable buzzing sound, and is generally used for casual chatting in class. As an academic who never loses focus in class, Hermione has always resisted this spell, but this time she begged Sean to put earplugs on her and listen.

The roar of the magic gramophone lasted for most of the morning, and no one knew whether this idea that Sean came up with was useful. Maybe the basilisk is dead, maybe it's hiding, maybe it's gone into the deepest part of the chamber.

Obviously, the professors could not let down their guard because of this, and another weird idea that Sean came up with was implemented.

"Quiet, I have something to announce." Professor McGonagall stood at the top of the auditorium. Her power and persuasiveness were second only to Dumbledore at Hogwarts. Everyone shut their mouths and waited for the deputy The principal spoke.

"As you know, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets has been opened." The first words she spoke caused a commotion in the auditorium.

Although everyone already knew the truth, the students couldn't help but start discussing it from the professor's mouth.

"Quiet -" Professor McGonagall shouted sternly, and then her tone became calmer, "I can understand what everyone is thinking, but please trust Hogwarts and the professors, we will ensure your safety."

"Until the danger is confirmed to have been completely eliminated, we will do our best to ensure everyone's safety. We hope that everyone will not have excessive worries."

"Starting tomorrow, the school will resume normal teaching hours..."

After a convincing speech, the students' faces improved a lot.

"I told you, the professors will take care of it all," a Gryffindor student said in a low voice to show his foresight.

"But the professor didn't say that the danger has been completely resolved?" Another student still had some worry on his face.

"But at least it's under control, otherwise the professors won't resume teaching."

Professor McGonagall did not explain more to the whispering students. She said: "Now, each house will line up in a row, and then come forward to receive-"

Newt stood next to Professor McGonagall with his suitcase in hand.

Sean was the first to take the lead. He stepped forward and Newt opened the suitcase.

"Sean, your father was a very generous man," Newt said as he reached into the box. "He arranged for this immediately after seeing the letter and Miss Hawke - and he said more could always be provided. , as long as Hogwarts needs it."

Sean smiled and said, "Oh, actually, his goal has always been to be on the Hogwarts School Board."

Newt took out a cage and handed it to Sean, and replied with a smile: "I can't say for sure - but I don't mind having an extra Muggle director at Hogwarts anyway."

Sean took the cage and made eye contact with the animal inside.

Inside was a big rooster with shiny fur.

After twitching its neck a few times, the rooster made a loud crow.

"Oh oh oh!"

The students who had been tortured by the gramophone all morning couldn't help but get goosebumps. They looked at Sean and the professors in surprise, wondering why everyone was given a rooster.

This was Sean's idea. The crowing of the rooster was fatal to the basilisk, and all the roosters raised in the school were poisoned - and if the gramophone recording the crowing of the rooster failed to kill the basilisk, Then each person should have one.

Although the rooster won't crow all the time, its presence is a deterrent - I bet your rooster doesn't crow in your throat? Neither the basilisk nor the person controlling it would have such thoughts.

The wizarding world is sparsely populated and there is no large-scale rooster breeding industry at all, so Sean asked his father to help.

For Mr Wallop, who owns the largest chain of private hospitals in England, a few thousand roosters is really nothing. Although he didn't know his son's intention, he immediately found someone to get lively roosters, just find any breeding farm.

Do you think this will cost a lot of money? Mr. Wallop couldn't be happier!

And, at Sean's request, he even had feed in each cage, and the roosters were packed into Newt's suitcase and taken back to Hogwarts.

Sean didn't believe it. When the time comes, the entire castle will be filled with sharp-mouthed generals. How dare the little basilisk dare to act so boldly? And, not only will each student receive a cage, but Newt will also fill the boxes with a batch after that.

When the time comes, not only will he have one, but he will also be able to raise chickens wherever he can in the castle!

Of course, the shortcomings of this method are also obvious. Hogwarts will become a chicken coop, and the professors will have to teach while the roosters crow, and no one can sleep in anymore...

However, compared to the danger to life caused by the basilisk, this is a small problem.

By the time every student received a cage, the auditorium had completely turned into a noisy chicken coop, and Professor McGonagall had to use a loud spell to make everyone hear her clearly.

"Everyone has received a rooster. Please take good care of them. Don't think it's child's play. This can deal with the monsters in the secret room. If someone accidentally dies, go find Hagrid or Professor Scamander to start a new one." Receive it, do you understand?"

"I understand." The students' replies were drowned out by the crow of the rooster.

Welcome to the Hogwarts Feeding Grounds... Sean thought with satisfaction.
