Chapter 28 The First Attack

Irving, Harry and Hermione became the most popular people at the death anniversary party, and they were surrounded by ghosts, which took a lot of time. When they finally got rid of all the ghosts, everyone's stomach growled with hunger.

"Unbelievable, I've never seen such a warm ghost before!" said Hermione.

"Yeah, they are really annoying." Ai Wen took the lead and walked towards the steps leading to the foyer, "I'm starving, I hope the pudding hasn't been eaten yet."

"Wait, we should go to Ron first," said Harry. "I don't know if he's successfully apologised to Myrtle, but hopefully it's not too difficult."

"This task is not easy, let's go quickly, he should be in the girls' bathroom at the end of the third floor, I still have something to ask Myrtle." Ai Wen rubbed his stomach, "The banquet is about to end, maybe Colin And Ginny can remember to bring us something to eat."

The three walked up the steps, but Harry staggered to a halt.

"What's the matter, Harry?"

"The voice appeared again, did you hear it?" His face was very unnatural.

"What sound?" Hermione froze, staring at him.

"It's that cold, murderous voice I told you about the other day in Lockhart's office." Harry squinted up and down the dimly lit aisle, "it's starving. , it's been a long time..."

"Damn it, it's the Basilisk!" Ai Wen's heart sank suddenly, "The secret room was opened, wouldn't it be Ginny who did it?!"

"I smell blood, it's going to kill." Harry stared at the dark ceiling. "It's moving up, come with me, this way."

With that, Harry ran away, up the stairs, and into the foyer, where the halloween's halloween laughter echoed. Harry ran up the marble stairs at full speed to the second floor, with Ivan and Hermione staggering behind.

"Harry, what are we doing?" Hermione asked breathlessly.

"Shh!" Harry pricked up his ears.

In the distance, one floor above, the voice came again, and he ascended the first flight of stairs three by two, listening to the sound of his heavy footsteps.

"Harry, we have to hurry up, where is it?" Ivan said eagerly, wiping the sweat off his face.

"Hu, hu, what are you two looking for, I didn't hear anything."

Before Hermione could finish her words, she suddenly gasped and pointed down the corridor.

"Look!"

Something was shining on the wall in front of them. They approached slowly, squinting to make out in the dark. Between the two windows, on the wall one foot above the ground, some handwriting was smeared, and the emblem glowed under the reflection of the burning torches.

"The secret room has been opened, and those who are enemies of the heir, be vigilant." Ai Wen read it out softly, his stomach twitched violently.

"What is that, hanging under the word?" Hermione grabbed Ivan's shoulder.

"I don't know, let's take a closer look."

They approached cautiously, and there was a large pool of water on the ground, and Harry nearly slipped.

The three of them approached the slogan little by little, their eyes fixed on the black shadow below, their breath suppressed.

The next second, they saw what it was at the same time, jumped back in fright, and splashed a splash of water.

Even though Ivan knew the plot in advance, he was still shocked when he saw Mrs. Norris hanging on the wall. Like a mummy, its tail hangs from the torch's bracket, its body is as stiff as a wooden board, its eyes are wide open, staring straight, and it looks terrifying.

There was a sudden click at the end of the corridor, and the three of them turned around in fright, their hearts pounding.

It was Ron, who came out of the room at the end, staring at the three people with wide eyes and pale faces.

"Harry, what's going on?" Ron was visibly vibrato. "What did you do to Filch's cat?"

"Not us, we just got here," Harry explained.

"What are you doing here?" Ai Wen looked at each other suspiciously.

"What else, of course, to hear your words and apologize to Myrtle." Ron raised his voice, "and saw you and this cat!"

"Apologies?!" Ai Wen noticed that behind Ron was Myrtle's bathroom, and he hurriedly asked, "Apart from you, has anyone else entered this bathroom during this time?"

"I don't know, I've been in the cubicle with Myrtle. She cried so hard that she got water all over the place. It took me a lot of effort to get her to listen to me." Ron wrinkled his nose, Face disgusted, "This is the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life, think about it, if Percy finds out that I've sneaked into the girls' bathroom, I don't know what to say. And what I'm doing is actually It's an apology to a crying ghost."

"Ron, think about it again. When you apologized to Myrtle, whether you found anything unusual is very important." Ai Wen said with a serious expression.

"Okay, I think I heard something, a bit of a hissing sound, but I'm not sure." Ron swallowed, "Why are you asking that, this girl's bathroom is broken, except for me and Peach just now. Besides Jin Niang, there is no one else inside, right?"

"That's right." Ai Wen nodded stiffly, but his heart became more and more worried.

Someone went in and opened the secret room when Ron didn't notice, and Ivan wasn't sure who did it.

While Ginny has made it clear that she has never seen Tom Riddle's diary, it's also possible that she's lying. If she had been under control at that time, Irving's problem might have been a surprise, and it would have made Tom Riddle suspicious of himself, which was the worst case scenario.

At the same time, he was also a little fortunate. Fortunately, Ron had been in the cubicle just now, otherwise, if he met Tom Riddle, he might have died now.

"Evan, Ron, if you have anything to say, you can go back and talk later."

Harry said sloppily, "We should now see if the cat can still be rescued."

"I don't think it's a good idea, man!" said Ron, "since none of us have done anything to the cat on the wall, better get out of here, I don't want to be found here. "

But it was too late. As soon as his voice fell, a low noise came over, and the banquet was over. From both ends of the corridor where they were located, there were the sounds of hundreds of feet ascending the stairs, as well as the happy high-pitched chatter and laughter of people after they had had enough to eat.

Then the students shoved into the aisle from both ends.

When the person in front saw the upside-down cat, the line stopped abruptly, and the lively, chattering sound suddenly disappeared.

Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood alone in the middle of the corridor, and the students suddenly quieted down and crowded forward to watch this terrible scene. Ivan saw Ginny and Colin standing in the crowd in surprise, looking like they wanted to come but didn't dare to approach.

In the silence, someone suddenly spoke in a loud voice.

"Those who are enemies of the heir, beware! Mudblood, you are next!"

Draco Malfoy had already squeezed in front of the crowd, his icy eyes came alive, his normally bloodless face flushed red.

He looked at the still and stiff cat hanging there, and at Ai Wen who was standing beside him, with a sinister smile on his face.
