Chapter 320 Abnormality

Hagrid was taken away by the Ministry of Magic, but fear still spread in Hogwarts Castle.

Because the monster in the secret room has not been found out yet, it may still attack everyone.

The professors act as if nothing happened. They escort students from one classroom to another during the day, and patrol the floors of the castle at night.

Although Lockhart repeatedly said that the danger had passed and there was no need to waste any more time escorting students, no one listened to him.

The Hufflepuff common room is always packed these days because after six o'clock in the evening students have nowhere else to go and everyone always has a lot to say.

After dinner, Kyle played wizard chess with Cedric as usual, but his record today was a bit bad.

For over an hour, Kyle didn't win a single round.

"Why do I feel that you are absent-minded?" Cedric asked while clearing the chessboard, "Still thinking about the secret room."

"No..." Kyle shook his head, "I just feel uncomfortable."

Since a few days ago, he has been feeling dizzy and has difficulty concentrating on anything, and this situation is getting worse.

When he was playing chess just now, he even heard a buzzing sound, as if there were many people talking in his head.

"You probably have a cold, right?" Kangna glanced at Kyle worriedly.

The weather has been a bit abnormal recently. Although it is almost summer, it has been raining, and it is hot and cold. Many people in the castle have caught a cold.

"I think so." Cedric put away the chessboard, "Would you like to write a letter to Professor Sprout and ask her to take you to the school hospital.

"No need, I have a refreshing potion here." Kyle patted his forehead, took out a bottle with red potion from his pocket, pulled out the cork and took a sip.

The next second, steam came out of his head, and the dizziness was relieved a lot.

Because he felt unwell, Kyle returned to the dormitory not long after drinking the medicine, lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Kyle had a long dream. In the dream, he came to the secret room, and the snakes carved on the pillars all came to life and surrounded him.

But the strange thing is that they neither attack nor let him go, they just surround him...

The next day, Kyle was shaken awake by Ryan.

Professor Sprout was waiting at the door, ready to send them to class.

"You slept for almost twelve hours."

Mikel put a few wrapped sandwiches on the table, "I heard from Cedric that you have a cold. Do you want to ask Professor Sprout for a day off... If it is you, it will definitely be fine if you don't have class for a day. of."

"No need." Kyle shook his head, "I've taken the medicine, it should be fine."

"Okay then..." Mikel and Ryan said nothing more.

…

I don't know if it was because the stimulant had expired, but Kyle drank it for three days in a row, but it had no effect at all.

He was still groggy every day, and he always had the same dream at night.

On the third night, he even fell asleep right after returning to the common room.

"No, you'd better go to the school hospital."

After Cedric woke him up, he couldn't help but write to Professor Sprout.

This time Kyle did not refuse, because he also discovered that something was wrong with him.

The written message was sent out by Raton, and Cedric and Connor also changed into robes, preparing to accompany Kyle to the school hospital after Professor Sprout arrived.

But they waited for more than half an hour before Professor Sprout hurried into the common room.

Her face was very pale, but her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

"Thank God." After seeing Kyle, she forced a smile, "Sorry kid, I was delayed by something just now. I will take you to the school hospital now."

Cedric and Connor originally wanted to go together, but were rejected.

Professor Sprout led Kyle out of the common room and down the empty corridor.

She looked very nervous and was constantly looking around, holding her wand tightly in her hand.

Kyle soon found out why.

In the school hospital, almost all the professors came.

Of course, not because of Kyle, but because of Ron Weasley on the hospital bed.

He lay there as stiff as a sculpture.

Professor McGonagall was angrily questioning Lockhart.

"The student was attacked... because you were going to do your hair?!"

"I, I don't know..." Lockhart was shivering, his wand still stuck in his hair.

"There's only one corridor left... They said there's no need to send it away..." Lockhart hesitated to defend himself.

"So you went back?" Professor McGonagall was like an angry lion, "You knew clearly that Dumbledore was not in school today, why did you dare to let the students leave alone!"

"But Hagrid has obviously been caught..."

"Obviously, there is someone else who is the real successor." Snape said coldly: "What a pity, why didn't that monster go to you?"

"..."

"Poppy, can you come and see this kid?"

At this time, Professor Sprout walked in with Kyle.

After hearing her words, the campus hospital instantly became silent. The professors stopped blaming Lockhart and turned their heads almost simultaneously.

"Don't be nervous, Minerva... it's not an attack." Professor Sprout quickly explained.

The professors also noticed that Kyle walked in by himself, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Snape's expression was a little strange, a little regretful, but also a little happy.

Madam Pomfrey ran over and took Kyle for a closer inspection...

Taking advantage of this moment, the professors closed the curtains around Ron's hospital bed, blocking Kyle's view.

Ten minutes later Madam Pomfrey stood up.

"It's not a cold... maybe you're just too nervous, that's why you keep having the same dream."

She brought Kyle to a hospital bed, "You will spend the night here today..."

Kyle nodded and sat quietly on the bed.

"Is it possible..." Snape asked in a long voice: "There is nothing wrong with him at all."

"I have my own judgment, Professor Snape."

Madam Pomfrey said with a straight face: "I can tell at a glance whether you are pretending to be sick. I can fully predict that if the attack is not resolved, there will definitely be more and more cases like this...

She came over with a large bottle with the label "Dreamless Sleeping Potion" on it.

"Let's try this first." She poured a large, steaming cup and handed it to Kyle. "It should help you sleep well."

The medicine in the school hospital was as unpleasant as ever, but fortunately it was still bearable.

After Kyle finished drinking, Madam Pomfrey withdrew and helped him close the curtain.

Not long after, the professors also left. In order to prevent more students from being attacked, they had to return to the castle to patrol immediately.

The school hospital quickly became quiet.

The Dreamless Sleep Potion did allow Kyle to get a good night's sleep...but only for a short time.

Two hours later, Kyle suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't sleep again.

He thought of Ron lying next to him, and couldn't help but frown.

Kyle should have thought of this day a long time ago. If the basilisk is not solved, some students will definitely be attacked... petrified, or even killed directly.

Today it’s Ron, tomorrow it might be Cedric, Connor, Fred,…

Is it really worth putting everyone, including friends, in danger for a basilisk?

The answer is no...without a doubt.

But why did I hesitate before?

Kyle's face looked horribly ugly.

Especially in the past few days, he had already thought of telling Dumbledore about the matter, but after just sleeping, the idea was forgotten by him, leaving no trace.

When did my memory get so bad?

Or is it a confusion spell?

But if it's a confusion spell, who is it...Riddle's diary?

When did he do it and why he had no memory at all.

Kyle didn't dare to sleep anymore. He suppressed the buzzing in his head and sat up from the bed.
