Chapter 29 The Attack Begins
After collecting all the information, Xie Lin's life returned to the two-point and one-line life of last semester. Apart from daily study and homework, Xie Lin spent almost all his time on boring magic research.
Although it is said that there are not many materials on blood magic found in the restricted section of the library, that is only relatively speaking, and these materials are enough for Schelling to digest for a long time.
Time flies, the first two months of school have passed, and Halloween is coming, according to the plot, the first attack of the basilisk in the secret room will happen on that day.
Even Schelling, who stayed in his room, had to find time to attend the party on Halloween.
In the Great Hall, Sherin sat at the Slytherin table.
Draco held Schelling's shoulders - Draco had experienced two months of Quidditch training at this time, and his figure was much burlier than before, and his face also showed a more resolute temperament, "Hey, Schelling, it seems that I seldom see you in these two months. You didn't come to watch my Quidditch training, and you seldom even saw you at dinner time. What are you up to?"
Xie Lin pretended not to hear the last question, and smiled slightly: "How can I still not understand your strength? It doesn't matter whether I watch your training or not. With your strength, combined with the excellent performance of the Glazing Wheel 2001, this year's Quidditch champion Slytherin can count on you."
Draco quickly said yes with a proud face.
Daphne and Meredith also looked at Xie Lin with resentment, as if they had been neglected by Xie Lin in the past two months.It was only after Xie Lin coaxed and tricked the two girls with sweet words.
Xie Lin quietly observed the long table of Gryffindor, Harry's trio was not there, Xie Lin carefully recalled the plot of the original book, and remembered that the three of them had gone to the death day party belonging to the ghosts.
He turned his covert gaze on the target of the night—Ginny Weasley.Sure enough, a few minutes before the end of the dinner, Ginny quietly left the auditorium alone.
Xie Lin followed up calmly, and cast an invisible phantom spell on himself at the corner. After making sure that he could not be seen, he followed Ginny step by step, and as expected, he came to the girls' bathroom at the end of the third floor.
This girls' bathroom has a name, and everyone calls it "Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom". Since a student named Myrtle Warren was killed here 50 years ago, her ghost has been wandering here in the form of a ghost. Most students are reluctant to enter this bathroom.
Schelling knew that the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was hidden in this bathroom. There was a copper faucet in the bathroom that never came out of water, and there was a small snake carved on it.If you say "open" to it in Parseltongue, the faucet and sink will slowly disappear from view, revealing a thick water pipe leading to a secret chamber, which can allow a person to crawl in.
Schelling followed into the bathroom and saw Ginny turn on the water pipe in Parseltongue, as if calling for the basilisk to come out.Although he is confident in his invisibility magic and has done many experiments with snakes, but the basilisk is the king of snake monsters, Schelling is not [-]% confident whether the basilisk can see himself invisible. To be safe, he quietly exits the bathroom, hides behind a piece of armor near the bathroom entrance, and waits for the plot to begin.
Then he saw a lot of water pouring out of the bathroom door.
Norris, the cat raised by the school administrator Filch, came to the bathroom and kept barking at the door, as if she was complacent about catching some prank student, but she didn't know the bad luck that was about to happen to her.
As soon as Xie Lin closed his eyes, he heard the sound of a large and heavy object wriggling. Norris' cry stopped abruptly, followed by another sound of wriggling objects, and finally everything returned to calm.
When Xie Lin opened his eyes again, he saw the red slogan "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, beware of those who are enemies of the heir" painted on the wall, and the petrified Loris hung high in front of the stone wall.Then he saw Harry's trio running to the scene of the crime following the strange voice that only Harry could hear.
Xie Lin didn't want to cause any misunderstanding, so while he was still invisible, he mingled with the student team who had just finished the dinner and returned to the dormitory.Then you can see the Harry trio being wronged by the angry Filch, and finally the Harry trio was taken away by Dumbledore's intervention, and the matter came to an end.
Since Halloween, the school atmosphere has become very spooky.
The legend of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was discovered by someone, and various rumors began to spread in the school. Most people suspected that the perpetrator was Harry Potter.
Among the Norris people who were first discovered on Halloween, Hermione's parents were both Muggles, so they couldn't be descendants of Slytherin; Ron's family was full of wizards, but they were all Gryffindors, and Ron's strength was not enough; Harry was the most suspicious, because he defeated Voldemort. In the minds of most little wizards, only the most powerful dark wizard can defeat the Dark Lord.
Xie Lin pouted, it was none of his business anyway, and then returned to the previous closed life.
Hogwarts in November officially ushered in the beginning of the Quidditch game. The first game of Quidditch was Slytherin against Gryffindor.
This Quidditch was different from the description in the original book - Slytherin's broom level was more than one level higher than Gryffindor's, and Draco's strength was not much inferior to Harry's, and Dobby did not intervene in this game under Schelling's instructions.
On the day of the game, Schelling did not go to the scene to watch the game. He just sent Dobby to hide in a corner to watch the game, and reported the game process to himself after the game.
In the game that day, Slytherin relied on a more advanced flying broom to take the lead all the way, and Draco also effectively restrained Harry appropriately. It can only be said that Harry is worthy of being shrouded in the halo of the protagonist. He still caught the Golden Snitch by sweeping the Seven Stars despite the heavy siege, allowing Gryffindor to win by a narrow margin of 10 points.
Because there was no intervention by Dobby, Harry was injured by the Bludger, and then Lockhart mistakenly used a curse to lose his arm bone.
After listening to Dobby's report, Schelling secretly lamented Harry's terrifying flying talent, but also expressed helplessness for the protagonist's halo on him. "Dobby, haven't you been very worried about Harry Potter's safety at Hogwarts this year? Now I'll give you a task. You go to Harry Potter, of course, when he is alone. You can give him some warnings, tell him that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened, and let him leave Hogwarts quickly and go home."
"Understood, little master, Dobby will definitely do it."
Slytherin did not fall into a cloud of gloom because of the defeat in the first battle.
On the contrary, the superiority of the Slytherin team's equipment has been revealed in this battle. In addition, although Draco's performance is not amazing, it is also much better than expected. Not many first-time players can perform like this, and Harry is just a rare exception.Moreover, Slytherin's loss in this game was almost negligible, so it still has great potential for the championship.
Under Draco's call, the whole team trained even harder.The state of the Slytherin teams was obvious to all, and it put both Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw Quidditch teams under pressure.
Schelling's magical research continued until the first week of December.
Xie Lin rubbed his temples to soothe his tired spirit. The long-term closed-door study made him look a bit haggard, but it laid a solid foundation for his theoretical knowledge of blood power.What he needs now are some samples that can be tested and practiced by him. He already has an idea about this, but what is more important to him at the moment is to lay out the plots that will happen in this semester, and see if he can get the most from the storm in the secret room.
While Schelling was buried in magic research, a second attack occurred at Hogwarts.
This time the victim was Colin Creevey, a first-year Gryffindor student.Colin, like Norris, was lucky enough to be petrified instead of being stared to death by the basilisk.News of his attack spread quickly throughout Hogwarts.
Rumors were flying in the school, everyone was suspicious, and fear began to spread among the students.During this time, it became popular in schools to exchange amulets, exorcisms, and other devices for self-protection.
Schelling walked in the hallway, which was especially quiet when there were no classes, obviously because the students were afraid that wandering around the castle would be the next victim, which made it easier for Schelling to explore the castle.
Schelling’s first goal was the Room of Requirement that appeared in the original book. It is mentioned in the original book that the entrance to this magical room is opposite the tapestry of Barnabas on the eighth floor of the castle where the troll beat the fool with a stick.
Pushing open the door expectantly, Schelling found himself standing in a room the size of a cathedral. The beams of light cast by the tall windows looked like a walled city.
Schelling could see that the walls were piled up with items hidden by generations of Hogwarts.There are crumbling piles of broken furniture, presumably stuffed here to hide evidence of misguided magic; thousands of books, no doubt forbidden, defaced, or stolen; and a blood-stained axe.
Schelling couldn't help complaining, this place is simply a treasure, countless people have been in Hogwarts, are they all blind?It is actually possible to turn a blind eye to so many items that are suspected of being treasures.
Schelling called Dobby, and one person and one elf began to slowly screen and sort out the trash-like items.
After a long time of hard work, Schelling found that most of the items were incomplete or damaged. He only found 3 interesting items: a suitcase, an ancient sterling silver dagger, and Ravenclaw's crown, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.
After tidying up, Xie Lin couldn't wait to return to the dormitory with the harvest to study.
