Chapter 31 Infinite Infinite Loop
Hearing Ivan's words, Harry and the three of them could not wait to go back to Myrtle immediately and ask for clarification. But this doesn't work. Since that day, Filch took a chair and sat in front of the bathroom on the third floor overnight. He seemed to think that Ivan would definitely break in when he wasn't paying attention.
In fact, the four of them did intend to.
Now even Hermione can't go in. Filch believes that Ivan and the others are the murderers who attacked Mrs. Norris. Even if he doesn't understand why Ivan must enter a broken girls' bathroom, this does not prevent him from stopping them.
Filch had been pacing the place where Mrs Norris had been killed for days, trying to scrub the writing on the wall with Mrs Skoll's Magic Stain Remover, but it was in vain, the writing Still shining so brightly on the stone wall.
The failure to clean the walls made Filch even more hysterical.
He secretly hid in the corner of the corridor on the third floor, stared at every student who dared to approach here, staring at every student who dared to approach here, and then suddenly rushed over, trying every means to find an excuse to confine them, for example, they were "breathing too loudly" "or "Hippy Smiley".
"God, I have to catch that madman and kick him out of school. But I just hope he can petrify Filch too before he gets kicked out." Another attempt to enter the bathroom After the failure, Ron said so.
However, when he saw that Ginny's face turned pale, he hurriedly added that it was a joke.
Ginny is in a bad state these days, and she seems to be disturbed by what happened to Mrs. Norris.
Ivan secretly asked Colin, Ginny didn't stay at the Halloween party all the time, she went out for five minutes in the middle.
The time is a bit rushed, but it is enough to open the secret room and release the basilisk.
From the current situation, it is Ginny who is most likely to open the secret room, but no matter how Ivan tries, she says that she doesn't know Tom Riddle, and she has never seen any diaries, never to the end.
In recent days, Ginny has even started avoiding Ai Wen.
Things got more and more confusing, the situation was terrible, and Ivan found himself caught in an infinite loop.
On the one hand, according to the original plot, it was Tom Riddle who controlled Ginny to open the secret room. Although Ivan asked Ginny those questions were rather obscure, but with Tom Riddle's cunning level, he would definitely find the flaws and be alert to him.
If so, the next target of the attack is likely to be Ai Wen himself.
On the other hand, due to the butterfly effect brought about by his crossing, Lucius Malfoy did not put the diary into Ginny, but the secret room was still opened, and it was already confirmed that Tom Riddle had mixed into the school, and he was the control who.
Ai Wen tried hard to recall all the information related to the Malfoy family, but his head was full of mud. The more he thought about it, the more chaotic his thoughts became. There was no clue.
In the end, he had to give up his plans to find Tom Riddle.
Everything goes back to the original strategy, no matter where Tom Riddle is hiding, as long as he can defeat the basilisk, then everything is not a problem.
Ai Wen knows where the secret room is, Harry can open it, and now the only difference is strength.
It's easy to say, but for a little wizard, it's not easy to defeat a powerful magical creature like a basilisk. Aiwen had to speed up his spell learning. He had to master the common spells in a short time. Dueling spells.
Besides that, he was going to ask Hagrid for a rooster.
But when he found that he couldn't carry it with him, he had to settle for the next best thing and find a way to record the sound of the rooster crowing.
The basilisk is only afraid of the sound of the rooster crowing, but there is no such spell to record the sound in the commonly used magic. Ivan had to spend a lot of time in the library for research, which made him look very haggard.
In fact, the attack affects almost everyone.
The little wizards were very concerned about the matter in the secret room. All the "A History of Hogwarts" in the library were borrowed, and the appointment was scheduled for two months later.
Rumors are everywhere, people are panicking, and gossip is flying everywhere.
When the latest issue of "Hogwarts Wizarding News" came out, because of the articles on the analysis of the secret room by Ivan and Hermione, the newspaper was immediately robbed, and the number of prints set a record, with a full 1,300 copies. as much.
The articles in the newspaper are mainly based on reliable historical facts, plus some personal conjectures of Ai Wen, but everyone's exploration of the secret room is obviously not satisfied with this. In addition to being interested in what is hidden in the secret room, they also want to know the heir. who is it.
I don't know when it started, everyone locked the suspect as Harry.
Among the four people who first discovered that Mrs. Norris was petrified on Halloween, Ivan and Hermione's parents were Muggles, and they could not be descendants of Slytherin; Ron's family was full of wizards, but their family It's all Gryffindor, and Ron isn't strong enough; the only one left most suspicious is Harry, because he defeated Voldemort, and in the minds of most young wizards, only the most powerful dark wizard can defeat the black wizard. Demon King.
At dinner, Ivan saw Justin Finch hurriedly avoid Harry, and whispered something like "Slytherin's successor".
This made several people feel very bad. Harry secretly pulled Ivan, and the four left the auditorium to the third floor. Fortunately, Filch did not stay here this time. When they were about to open the door to go in, suddenly someone came out.
It was Penelope Rivat, Ravenclaw's prefect. She looked at the four people in front of her in surprise, turned and hurried away.
"She must think we're going to do something bad!" Ron muttered, blushing, and walked into the bathroom first.
At this moment, a voice of a person suddenly came from behind, and the four of them jumped up in fright.
"Ron, what are you doing?" Percy stopped at the top of the stairs, the prefect's badge gleaming on his chest and a look of extreme surprise on his face.
"That's the girls' bathroom!" he gasped, "how are you..."
"Nothing, just looking around," Ron shrugged. "We're looking for clues, you know."
"Looking for clues?!" Percy raised her air, "I don't think there are clues you need to look for in the girls' bathroom, so get out of here now.
He said, walking towards Ai Wen and them, and opened his arms, urging them to go quickly.
"Don't you care what it's like? Everyone else is eating, but you come here and try to get into a girls' bathroom."
"Why can't we come here, you don't know anything." Ron stopped abruptly, staring at Percy angrily, "I know what you're thinking, listen, we didn't move a finger to that cat !"
"That's what I said to Ginny," said Percy, "but she still seems to think you're going to be fired. I've never seen her so sad and crying all day. You should think for her. Think, the first-year students are disturbed by this incident!"
"Ivan is also a first-year student, I didn't see any trouble in him." Ron's ears gradually turned red, "It's you, you don't care about Ginny at all, you're just worried that I will destroy you as a boy student union. Chairman's future."
"Five points off Gryffindor!" Percy said bluntly, fingering the prefect's badge, "I hope this will teach you a lesson, stop being a detective, or I'll write to Mom. !"
He strode away, the back of his neck as red as Ron's ears.
"Ron, you shouldn't quarrel with Percy, he just cares about us." Ivan whispered.
"You think I'm making trouble out of nowhere?!" Ron turned around and looked at Ai Wen, "First of all, I met flying cars to school, vomited slugs for a week, apologized to Myrtle, and now I tried to enter the girls' bathroom, You were all right, and it was always me who was wrong."
"Ron, that's not what Ivan meant..." Harry said hurriedly,
"I've had enough!" shouted Ron. "If that lunatic can only attack a cat, let him attack."
With that, he ran down the stairs towards Gryffindor Tower.
Harry and Hermione were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed Ron, leaving Ivan alone in front of Myrtle's bathroom.
