Chapter 62: The Chamber of Secrets Opened in Advance
Maybe Peeves didn't want to promote Ron at all, or maybe it just wanted to tease Ron! So, don't look at it screaming happily now, but look at its traveling route, and choose some remote and deserted places to run! Now Hermione, who was following behind, could see that it really just wanted Ron to just chase it and play with it in circles in the school corridor!
"Ron! Please stop chasing it! You will never catch up with it like this! Just give up! The more you chase it, the happier it will be! You don't know, Peeves has always been like this Look!" Seeing Ron still limping after Peeves, Hermione reached out and wanted to grab him!
Just now Hermione looked at her watch, it was already very late, and the three of them had been chasing Peeves for a while! If you continue to stay in the corridor like this, it will be too late to go back to the lounge! And once the curfew time has passed, if Filch finds out, he will be punished with confinement and points deducted! Compared with the trivial matter of Ron being laughed at, this is worse and more worth worrying about!
"No! Hermione! I think I can catch up to it right away! It must not be far away! It should be right ahead!" The stubborn Ron didn't want to give up. He must catch up with Peeves and stop Peeves. It's gibberish! But how to stop him didn't think about it, anyway, I'll catch up first!
Hermione stopped, sighed, and looked at Ron, she shook her head helplessly! What if he catches up with Peeves? threaten it? Or beat it up? Hermione really couldn't think of what kind of means a second-year student like herself could use to deal with a ghost?
Among all the spells they can learn now, none of them can effectively harm this intangible ghost! And now, the three of them actually wanted to chase a Peeves... In Hermione's eyes, this really seemed very stupid! What a waste of energy!
"Kill you! Rip you! I see you!"
...
"What sound?" Harry suddenly stopped and turned his head to listen to something. He seemed to hear some hissing sound just now, but it didn't seem to be very clear.
"Did you hear that? A strange voice!" Harry asked Ron and Hermione suspiciously.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear anything! I only hear Ron's now! And that Peeves'!" Hermione followed angrily at the end, watching Ron strenuously at the front Chasing Peeves desperately, he may never be able to catch up!
...
"I think I can catch up to it right away! It should be in front! It must be right this time!" Ron was not interested in listening to what Harry was saying, and now his mind was full of how to catch up That damned Peeves! Ron, who had a cramp in his head, didn't even think about whether it was right to use the word "damn" to describe Peeves, after all..., it was already dead!
"Oh! Merlin's beard! What the hell!"
"Hey! Ron! Wait!" Seeing Ron turning around a dark corridor alone, and then immediately hearing Ron's screams and cursing, Harry ignored the strange sound he had just heard What was the sound, and Hermione hurriedly chased after it.
"What's the matter? Ron?" After turning around the corridor, the two couldn't help asking curiously when they saw Ron standing in front of him in a daze.
"You should see for yourself!"
Following the direction Ron was pointing, what Harry and Hermione saw was a cat! It was hung upright with its tail tied on the torch bracket on the wall! It is motionless now, the hair all over its body is blown apart, and its eyes are still wide open, as if it has been frightened by something! And its current state is still very strange, making the three of them feel as if they are already dead!
At the same time, on the wall where the cat is hung, someone wrote in a magical fluorescent font: The chamber of secrets has been opened again, and those who are enemies of the successor,
alert!
Seeing this weird picture, the three couldn't help but take a step back! Ron stepped on the stagnant water on the floor of the corridor. Before his body fully recovered, he was staggered by the slippery floor and fell face up in the dirty stagnant water.
"Huh? What are you doing, why don't you come after me? Little guys?"
At this moment, Peeves sneaked out of the wall again. It had a good time teasing Ron, and was planning to continue playing, but suddenly found that Ron didn't chase it anymore! So, it had to be folded back again, wanting to see what happened.
Seeing the three people staring blankly at the wall behind it, it also turned around curiously. Then Peeves was also stunned, because it discovered that there was a cat hanging on the wall behind it! And it was a cat that looked dead! Peeves said he knew the dead cat! That should be Filch's pet, and the name seems to be Mrs. Norris?
"Who's over there? Which brat is it again? Haha! I saw you! Don't even try to run away this time!" Filch, who had been hearing the movement in this corridor since the curfew just started, finally ran away. Come here, he can vaguely see a few students at the end of the corridor from a distance!
This made Filch so happy! You know, the curfew time has passed long ago, so if he is caught now, he must be punished according to the school rules!
Now it's fun! Surely they won't be able to escape! He, Filch, was already thinking about how to punish them! Is it confinement? Or clean the toilet for a week? It's a pity that corporal punishment is no longer popular, otherwise, he has plenty of ways to deal with them!
The three of them were shocked when they heard Filch's voice! Harry and Hermione were about to help Ron up and try to escape, but Peeves suddenly screamed.
"Filch! Come and see! These three little devils killed your cat! They are the murderers!" Peeves yelled, and quickly rushed to Filch, and hid behind him, leaning out. Turning his head, he smiled maliciously at the three of them!
Hermione sighed in her heart, what Peeves said made it impossible for the three of them to escape again! Otherwise, nothing can be said clearly! If they tried to run away under such circumstances, making Filch or other professors believe the nonsense of that Peeves, then they might really be charged with murdering a cat!
"No!!" After hearing what Peeves said, the smile on Filch's face froze immediately, and then he ran over at a high speed, pushed the three people who were stunned, and ran to the wall and knelt down, covered in blood. He looked at the cat hanging upside down on the wall with trembling eyes.
"No! This is my Mrs. Norris? No! It shouldn't be like this!!"
"What's going on with you guys here? It's curfew time!" Snape passing by also noticed something strange happening here.
He originally stayed in the Potions classroom for a while due to business, but now he wanted to go straight back to the office, but he turned around and rushed over when he heard about the situation on the way.
When he came here quickly, Snape first glanced coldly at the Potter trio who had been making trouble all day long, then walked to the side of the crying Filch, and stared intently at the upside-down bird on the wall. cat.
"Get out of the way! Filch!"
Snape took a step forward, pushed aside Filch who was in the way, walked straight to the wall, got closer, and stared at the strange dead cat carefully. While observing carefully, he drew out his wand again, touched the cat carefully, and muttered something silently.
"Tsk! That's interesting!" Snape snorted coldly after the inspection, with a slightly surprised expression on his face, he had just discovered something strange about this cat!
After some inspection just now, Snape finally found out that the cat was not dead, but it was definitely not petrified by some ordinary spell! Because the curse he just tried didn't have any effect!
It is precisely because of this that he will show a surprised look! After seeing that he couldn't do anything about the cat, Snape stopped, looked up at the words on the wall, this...! At that moment, his eyes froze, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't say anything! Continuing to keep a cold face, he shook his head and took two steps back.
Seeing Snape shaking his head and backing away, Filch thought he meant that the cat was indeed dead, got up crying, and wanted to fly towards the trio.
"It was you who did it! It was you who killed my Mrs. Norris! I can't spare you!" Filch's ferocious expression made Harry and Hermione back several steps in fright. Ron in the water can't even care about it!
"What happened here?" Dumbledore, who had heard the news, came over in time, and stretched out his hand to stop Filch, who was about to make a move, and asked Snape at the same time. He was followed by Professor McGonagall and Gilderoy Lockhart, the funny Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who was new this year.
"You'd better see for yourself." Snape was too lazy to say anything, anyway, he was not too clear about the specific situation, so he stepped aside for a long time.
"The three of them did it! Peeves said it was the three of them who did it! They killed my cat!" Filch continued to wail with a grim expression.
Dumbledore didn't care about him, but walked to the wall and looked at the writing on the wall first. This situation reminded him of some bad memories, and he couldn't help frowning! A scene similar to this one happened in Hogwarts many years ago, and Dumbledore always thought it was over! But who would have thought that after so many years, this thing would appear again? This is really endless! Only then did he have time to hold his glasses and study Mrs. Norris carefully.
"Be quiet! Filch, your cat isn't actually dead, it's just been petrified! Hmm... a very special petrification effect." Dumbledore turned around and looked dissatisfied, still crying on the ground Filch.
"And I'm sure, this kind of effect is definitely not what these three second-year students can do!"
"Ah? Not dead?" After hearing what Principal Dumbledore said, Filch finally stopped crying on the ground and quickly stood up! So his cat didn't die? This is really good news! He had just thought she was going to lose his Lady Norris forever!
"Speaking of petrification, maybe I have a solution! If you have read my biography, you should know that I am an expert in this field!" Gilderoy Lockhart was about to step forward to cast his curse spell, but He was so frightened by Snape's fierce stare that he could only back away embarrassingly.
Dumbledore ignored the show-loving Gilderoy Lockhart, but turned around and began to ask about the first Harry trio to arrive at the scene! But before he could speak, a familiar crisp voice came from the other side of the corridor again.
"Huh? It's this time, why is it so lively here? Could it be, are you guys playing some interesting game?"
Annie hurriedly got up at noon today to barbecue a group of spiders, destroying a small piece of the Forbidden Forest, and then rode the unicorn Anna in the Forbidden Forest like nothing happened all afternoon! During this period, she just ate a few biscuits and cakes that existed in the pocket of the dimension space. It wasn't until now that the sky was completely dark and her stomach started to grow hungry, that she returned to the main castle of Hogwarts with more than enough satisfaction.
It may be difficult to play with Anna again in the future, because it told Annie that last time it came out to play, it was severely repaired by its mother! But this time, he strayed into the territory of a giant spider and almost lost his life! After it goes back this time, it will definitely be grounded for a long time!
Alas~! Annie sighed, what a poor Anna! But when she thought about herself, if one day she could return to the land of voodoo, she might be locked up by her mother Amoline for a long time, right?
Thinking of this, Annie couldn't help but shudder! This kind of thing is scary just thinking about it! no! Can't think about it anymore! Or hurry back to take a shower and sleep! When I fall asleep, I don't think about anything!
Then, on her way back to the top floor by herself, Annie saw a group of them gathered together in this dark corridor, and thought they were playing something fun, so she ran away came over and asked curiously.
