Chapter 807 Collusion
"Don't scare me here!"
Several young wizards, including Hermione, panicked because of Draco's words.
"I'm just explaining the facts." When Draco said this, he showed a mysterious expression, "It is said that when the secret room is opened, a terrible monster will emerge from it, and then the school will be purified, that is, the school will be cleared. All Muggle-borns in the school."
"Why does this sound like something you pure blood supremacist families would do? That so-called heir, could it be you?"
Hermione glanced at Draco indifferently. Due to the frequent cooperation in the dungeon in the past two years, the relationship between them is not as tense as when they were freshmen. It can also be heard that Draco is joking.
"Don't label me indiscriminately, I'm a pragmatist now!" Draco shook his head indifferently, "But don't take my warning seriously, if the Chamber of Secrets really appears, We're all in trouble."
"What are you afraid of!" Ron snorted coldly. "There are Principal Dumbledore and Professor Wilson in the school. How much trouble can that so-called heir cause?"
Indeed, because of the existence of Anduin, although the young wizards at the scene were a little nervous about the so-called secret room and the heir, if they were really afraid, that would not be the case.
In fact, not only them, but even Draco, who was still talking alarmistly just now, didn't feel that the so-called secret room would pose much threat to everyone.
Even up to this time, they still doubted whether Anduin had made all of this. After all, they had experienced this kind of wolf-like story more than once.
While several people were still chattering about the Chamber of Secrets, McGonagall and Snape also arrived at the scene.
And when they saw the writing on the wall, they couldn't help but tighten their faces.
"The prefects of the colleges quickly lead your people to leave the scene." McGonagall shouted loudly, dispersed the crowd, and then carefully removed Mrs. Norris from the torch.
"Professor, is the secret room mentioned above real?" Hermione couldn't help asking when she saw McGonagall's expression was wrong.
"The specific situation can only be determined after investigation. You guys leave first, don't mess with Miss Granger here." McGonagall responded with a serious expression, obviously she was still undecided.
After seeing the attitudes of the professors, the Chamber of Secrets finally attracted everyone's attention. Could it be that the Chamber of Secrets really existed?
After driving away all the little wizards, Mag then carefully checked Mrs. Norris' condition, and soon her face became more and more ugly.
"Is the problem serious?" Snape leaned forward and asked in a deep voice.
"Well, it's very superb black magic, it's not something that little wizards can do at all, only advanced potions can remove it." McGonagall muttered, and then looked at Snape puzzled, "Where's Anduin? Where did he go?"
It's not just the little wizard, even Professor McGonagall is the first to suspect Anduin when encountering such an emergency. This guy is always worrying.
"He said that Silver Flash Trading Company had urgent matters to deal with, so he left this morning." Snape raised his brows, "You suspect it's him..."
"Then what else?" McGonagall rolled his eyes, "Did you forget last year's Dark Mark? Or do you really believe in such nonsense as the Chamber of Secrets?"
After the "Death Eaters Invasion War" last year, all the professors, including McGonagall, have developed a strong immunity against this unknown danger, or in other words, everyone has already instinctively compared all bizarre events with Anduin connected.
Even though she had heard too much about the legend of the Chamber of Secrets, she knew it was true.
But McGonagall knows more inside information. Since Anduin joined the job, he has upgraded the full security system for Hogwarts. If someone really makes trouble in the school, she will definitely receive a corresponding alarm.
It can be said that Hogwarts is not much worse than Azkaban and Gringotts now. Even if Voldemort comes, he has to behave with his tail between his legs.
In this case, how could she believe you said that the monster appeared in the secret room?
"That's right..." Snape also nodded in agreement, "It's too suspicious to have an inexplicable secret room and an heir suddenly, I'll contact him and ask."
After finishing speaking, Snape took out a communicator, which was a special prop given to him by Anduin. It could even break through the restrictions of the magic net for ultra-long-distance communication. After a while, Anduin's face appeared in front of several people. before.
In the picture, they could see that the background Anduin was in was actually broad daylight, which meant that the other party's location at this time might be on the other side of the earth.
"What's the matter, Severus, I'm busy with important things here, and the ultra-long-distance communication consumes a lot of mana."
This kind of communication beyond the coverage of the magic network, the signal seems to be not good, and Anduin's voice also seems to be fluctuating.
"Stop rambling." Although Snape was a little curious about the position of the other party, he still went straight to the point, "The chamber of secrets and the so-called heir are tricks you made up, right?"
"Huh? Was it guessed so easily? I obviously asked Hogg to find a way to make it more real." Anduin admitted without hesitation when he heard the words.
"What the hell are you messing around with?" Seeing that it was exactly as she expected, Mag couldn't help but put her head in front of the screen, "Do you know how much commotion you're going to cause? Those little wizards are all suspicious now, We were almost scared to death, too."
"Is it just suspicious?" Anduin seemed dissatisfied with the result, "I thought it would convince them that the Chamber of Secrets is real."
"Did you find the secret room?" Mag seemed to hear the subtext of the other party, and his expression changed suddenly.
"Um……"
Anduin on the screen glanced left and right to make sure no one was around.
Then he leaned in front of the screen and said in a low voice, "I caught a basilisk in the secret room, and I put it back before I came out. Although I don't know exactly what happened today, if there is no accident That's what it should do."
"What?" Mag was about to go crazy when he heard Anduin's words, "Do you know what you're talking about? How could such a dangerous creature as the basilisk be thrown into the school at will? Are you not afraid of accidents with the little wizard? The basilisk The sight of it is deadly."
"Don't be so nervous..." Anduin sneered indifferently, "Don't worry, that basilisk has been dealt with, it's not fatal, it's nothing more than petrification, and Hogg is watching , nothing serious will happen."
"It's not a big deal?" Mag gave Anduin a bit of complaint, "That's not okay, you put that basilisk away quickly, or you will scare the little wizards."
"But I just want to scare them..." Anduin shrugged innocently, "Professor McGonagall, this is an exercise I specially prepared for this school year, and such a good subject is usually hard to find. "
"Practice? Use a basilisk to practice? This is too exaggerated." Mag rolled his eyes, feeling absurd, "And how can you guarantee that those little wizards will believe such absurd things? They have been killed more than once. Similar 'dangers' have been tricked."
"That requires your cooperation, Professor McGonagall." Anduin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "As long as you show enough attention to the next incident, they will definitely believe it."
"Ah? Why did we collude with you to fool those students?" McGonagall showed an incredulous expression.
"Professor McGonagall..." Anduin said in a deep voice, "You should also be able to see that since the baptism of dungeons, those little wizards have been a little... impetuous, or arrogant,"
"You didn't provoke that." Mag pouted dissatisfiedly.
"But I have to admit, don't they all improve very quickly?" Anduin grinned. "As far as I know, even the students in the lower grades can now master the transfiguration skills of the higher grades."
Mag couldn't help being silent when he heard the words. The facts are exactly as Anduin said, and the growth rate of the students now can be described as rapid.
Especially the Transfiguration she taught, because of this flexible magic, has an extremely important tactical position in the battlefield dungeon, and now everyone's enthusiasm for learning Transfiguration is extremely high.
So strictly speaking, she also got a lot of credit from Anduin.
"However, fast progress can easily produce negative effects. If you are not careful, it will breed complacency." Speaking of this, Anduin also became serious, "So we have to find a way to suppress their arrogance and let the students calm down." Divide some, this is also conducive to future management, isn't it?"
"What about... Severus, your opinion."
McGonagall found that she couldn't convince Anduin, or the other party's point of view that she had gradually agreed with deep down in her heart, but she couldn't make up her mind immediately. It is not a trivial matter to let a basilisk in school, so she could only ask for help. He looked at Snape beside him.
But Snape's eyes were shining at this time, "I have long wanted to deal with those little brats. They are getting more and more presumptuous now, and they don't take the professor seriously."
Hello!Why do you look like you're looking forward to it?That is a basilisk!McGonagall glanced at Snape speechlessly, but finally shook her head helplessly.
"Okay, but you have to figure out how to measure it." Seeing Snape's eager look, McGonagall knew that he couldn't stop it.
"Don't worry, I have passed the air with Principal Dumbledore."
"So he already knew." McGonagall was obviously dissatisfied with Dumbledore for not notifying him in advance.
But soon she said seriously, "But what do you mean by asking us to cooperate?"
"It's very simple." Anduin smiled, "As long as you show seriousness to the secret room and there are occasional attacks, those little wizards will definitely be scared."
"There is still an attack?" Mag frowned a little unbearably, "Will this be too..."
"It's not bad for them to suffer a little bit." Snape next to him didn't feel burdened by this, but instead sneered, "I'm already looking forward to the expressions of those brats."
"Don't talk too much, this matter won't last for long." Anduin was also very calm, "I will return to Hogwarts after Christmas, and I will have to rely on your performance during this time Slightly."
After a few casual instructions, Anduin hung up the communication, which made Mag feel quite helpless, what's the matter?She was obviously planning to ask the teacher to ask the crime, but now she has become an accomplice instead.
And just when Mag was secretly complaining, several prefects returned to the scene after escorting the students back to their common rooms. As the assistants of the professors, they needed to be on call at any time.
Of course, many of them wanted to learn from the professor because of the curiosity and incitement of the students.
"Professor McGonagall." Percy took the lead and pointed to the writing on the wall, "What should we do with these? Has the other perpetrator been found? Who is it that made the prank?"
"Cough cough..."
Mag heard the words and quickly adjusted his state, putting on a serious expression.
"Erasure all these words on the wall, and clean up the corridor quickly. As for today's matter, don't ask too much, and don't discuss it, you know?"
"Yes." Percy replied honestly, but seeing that Professor McGonagall never mentioned the perpetrator and at the same time was so nervous, he finally couldn't help asking his doubts, "Professor, is it true that the legendary Chamber of Secrets Is it true? Could something similar happen later?"
"Hey..." Mag sighed pretendingly, "Before Anduin comes back, we can't judge in vain. You have asked the students to pay attention recently and try not to act alone. In addition, the overall curfew time has been advanced by one hour. , I will assign tasks to you later, and organize a patrol team to cooperate with the professor to search the school thoroughly."
"Is it so serious?" All the prefects couldn't help being surprised when they heard this, and Percy asked anxiously, "Isn't Professor Wilson in the school?"
"He has something important to do, so he has to leave for a while." McGonagall frowned, looking worried, "Let's break up first, remember, take care of the students in your respective colleges, especially those who like to cause trouble. "
"Yes, Professor." The seniors answered loudly, and then hurriedly left the scene.
As for whether what Mag told them will reach the ears of those little wizards, the answer is naturally yes.
After confirming that everyone was gone, McGonagall looked at Snape with great interest, "How I behaved just now, they shouldn't be able to tell, right?"
"Uh...very good." Snape gave a speechless awkward laugh, "But didn't you substitute a little too quickly?"
Snape really didn't expect that Professor McGonagall, who was still hesitant, would enter the state so quickly, and why did he feel that she expected more than himself?
Sure enough, Professor McGonagall is also full of bad taste deep in his heart...

Several young wizards, including Hermione, panicked because of Draco's words.
