Chapter 67

"Slytherin students, please strictly abide by the school's protection regulations, and are not allowed to leave the dormitory privately during spare time!"

Snape's deep voice kept echoing throughout the Slytherin lounge, and a trace of suppressed anger could be heard in it.

"Professor Snape, what's wrong?"

The little snakes were very puzzled by the sudden broadcast from their headmaster.

After a while, Snape came in with a weeping little witch.

"Astoria?"

A witch ran over quickly, her name was Daphne, she was the sister of the crying little witch.

Snape's face was a little gloomy, and he immediately called all the Slytherin students, making sure that there was no one left before turning around and leaving without saying a word.

"Where's Draco?"

Eli found out that Draco had been away, but Snape didn't seem to say anything.

"Malfoy, he...he was petrified..."

"what!"

Eli was terrified, and rushed to Astoria, "When was he petrified!"

"I met Malfoy at the owl shed, came back with him, and halfway through he suddenly pushed me aside, and then...then he was petrified"

Astoria seemed to be terribly frightened, her lips turned pale, and tears flowed down her face uncontrollably.

Eli's thoughts turned wildly, Draco was petrified, why did he go to the owl shed, how did he see the basilisk?

He tried to make his tone calmer, "Then can you tell me where you were attacked? Have you... have you seen any claws and claws of the monster?"

When Astoria heard the word monster, tears burst into tears.

"I think she needs to rest now, if you have any questions, please wait until she is better!"

Daphne protects Astoria.

At this time, Astoria finally spoke, "It's right next to the window in the auditorium, I... I fell down, and I didn't see anything, Malfoy just..."

Eli turned around with a serious face, he probably knew what happened.

Draco must have been the first to see the basilisk on the window glass, and he pushed Astoria away protectively at the last moment, so Astoria was unscathed.

But didn't the basilisk only attack half-bloods and Muggle-borns?how come……

Eli's heart is getting heavier and heavier, the current situation is getting worse and worse, there have been things that didn't appear in the plot, and now he doesn't even know who opened the secret room!
The basilisk seems to be attacking aimlessly. Is Voldemort's soul about to be officially revived?

At night, Eli casts the Disillusionment Charm on himself and goes to the school infirmary alone.

Currently Professor Sprout's mandrake is not mature enough to heal those who have been petrified.

Eli has some stored here, and he wants to send them to the school infirmary.

At the door, he saw two furtive figures.

"Harry, Ron?"

These two guys were about to open the door, when they heard the sound, they knelt down and hugged their heads in horror.

"It's me, Eli"

Eli kicked the two of them into a ball without a word.

"Eli? Why are you here?"

"I still want to ask you guys!"

Looking at these two guys who are not afraid of death, Eli said angrily.

"We just wanted to see Draco"

"Is Hermione not with you?"

Eli frowned, under normal circumstances, it would be Hermione who brought these two useless men with her.

The two hawed and hawed for a while, and finally Harry said, "Hermione... she ran to the library and was discovered by the professor, and now I heard that she is helping Lockhart's office to answer his fans' letters..."

"What? Didn't I tell her not to run out casually? Why did she go again? Why didn't you stop her!"

Eli only felt a burst of irritability in his heart, disobedient children are the most annoying!
"Who knew she would go out... During the day she said that she seemed to have found some clues"

Eli now wanted to wait for Hermione to come back and beat her up. He had never seen such a stubborn girl.

Eli pushed open the door of the school infirmary, and there were still several petrified victims lying inside. When he came to Draco's hospital bed, he still kept reaching out.

Putting aside a few processed mandrakes, he pulled Harry Ron out.

Along the way, Eli couldn't hold back these two guys, he was so angry, these iron-headed boys were more able to toss each other, and if they survived to the finale, their lives were really tough!

Suddenly, Professor McGonagall's voice began to echo in the castle again.

"The main professors of each subject are asked to gather immediately, and other faculty members please go to each college to count the number of students immediately!"

Professor McGonagall's voice was unprecedentedly serious, and even trembling could be heard.

"What happened?"

Eli's face darkened, perhaps another victim appeared, and it might not be as simple as petrification!
Several people quickened their pace.

In the corridor, Professor McGonagall hurried to a wall with the deans of the colleges.

"right here……"

When the three of Eli heard movement in front of them, they stopped immediately.

For the professors, "As you can see, the heir of Slytherin once again left a sentence, the most feared thing happened, a student was taken into the secret room"

The faces of several people changed, and Eli's heart skipped a beat. Who was kidnapped this time?He had a bad premonition.

Several professors looked at the bloody characters with solemn expressions.

"Do you know who was taken away now?"

"No, not yet, I have asked the teachers to check it out"

Professor McGonagall's face was a little pale, and there was indelible worry and sadness in his eyes, "We should send all the students home, Hogwarts may be closed forever..."

Eli poked his head out to have a look, and found that something was wrong, and he became more and more worried.

He turned and ran suddenly, Harry and Ron froze for a moment, then hurried to follow.

Several people quickly came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and ran to the door of Lockhart's office.

"Araho Cave is open!"

He directly opened the door of the office with an unlocking spell, except for a pile of messy letters, there was no sign of Lockhart and Hermione at all.

Eli suddenly panicked. There was still an unfinished letter on the table, which was written in Hermione's handwriting. It seemed that the letter was terminated before the last word was written.

He suddenly saw that under the letter, a piece of paper with signs of being torn was exposed.

Eli quickly took it out, opened it, and saw that it was a part of a certain book, and this part happened to record the basilisk!
It also has Hermione's handwriting on it, "Pipeline"

"Lockhart, you'd better hope that Hermione is okay when I arrive, or else..."

A golden-red color flashed in his eyes, and Eli was already extremely angry.

He rushed towards the women's bathroom as fast as he could, where the entrance to the secret room was.

"Eli!"

The two of Harry were still running halfway, and when they saw Eli running out again, they hurriedly shouted.

"There is no time, Hermione is most likely to be taken away, we must rescue her!"

Harry and Ron didn't react at all, and hurriedly asked.

"Why? Where are we going to save him?"

"Remember Harry's Parseltongue and that voice only he could hear, that monster was at least a snake"

He handed the note to the two, "This is left by Hermione, that monster is the basilisk, and it attacked through the pipe!"

While running, the two couldn't see what was written at all, only saw a snake pattern.

"So where are we going now?"

"Ladies' room, the one where Myrtle is"

"Myrtle?"

"That's right, remember what Hermione said about Weeping Myrtle as a student who died in school? She should be the student who was killed that year. Wherever she died, her soul stayed. That bathroom happened to have many Pipe, the basilisk is probably there!"

Eli can't control too much, he can only say all these things in one go.

In their desperation, Harry and Ron didn't care about the loopholes in it, and subconsciously believed it, and the three rushed to the bathroom.
