Chapter 280 Has no one told you that you are a Gryffindor?

Professor McGonagall looked a little gloomy.

The situation she least wanted to see happened.

The final question is whether the basilisk can be detected immediately if it appears.

Harry's "can't" is lying, then he can.

Regardless of Professor McGonagall's mood, the two Aurors made the next plan in just a few words.

"We will follow Harry with all our strength, and we should be able to find clues from him."

The female Auror breathed a sigh of relief: "I was afraid that I would fail this time, but I finally gained something."

The male Auror said: "But how should we monitor Harry next? It is too inconvenient to be invisible all day long. We need a more reasonable identity."

Female Auror: "Let the people from the Ministry of Magic worry about this matter. Anyway, we only focus on arresting people, regardless of their identity."

If they weren't afraid of having a bad impact on the students or causing psychological shadow, they wouldn't be willing to take such a roundabout approach.

After identifying the breakthrough point, the easiest way is to ask Snape to feed him a mouthful of truth serum.

Thinking of this, the female Auror couldn't help but sigh, it was too difficult.

Veritaserum is really expensive.

Just as the two Aurors were about to leave, Professor McGonagall suddenly said: "Wait a minute, isn't there another little wizard I want to ask about, Grace of Slytherin?"

The male Auror frowned and said, "We have found the suspect, so there should be no need to observe Grace anymore."

The female Auror nodded in agreement, "No need to waste time."

Professor McGonagall said seriously: "No, there are a total of three people who can speak snake language, so naturally we have to ask each candidate again.

And Harry didn't know where the secret room was. He just knew that the basilisk was haunted. If the basilisk escaped, Harry wouldn't be able to track it. "

The two Aurors looked at each other and shrugged.

"As you wish, Professor McGonagall."

…

After Harry left Professor McGonagall's office, he regretted it again. He somewhat despised his cowardice.

He should be brave and speak out loud about everything.

This incident made him dejected, and even the subsequent Quidditch practice was absent-minded, thinking that he had lost the brave spirit of Gryffindor!

"Harry, what happened to you?"

George walked up to him and asked curiously.

Harry raised his head, "Huh? It's nothing. I have to train my broomstick, so I need to take a step first."

He was about to leave, but Fred grabbed his collar.

"Harry, something must have happened to you, otherwise you wouldn't be so absent-minded and not even aware that Quidditch practice was over."

Harry glanced around.

It was getting dark, the other members had left, and the entire stadium was empty and a little quiet.

Harry: "Sorry, I don't know, I-"

George: "Oh, dear Harry, you have no idea how bad Wood's expression was this afternoon. He looked at you many times and hesitated to say anything, but in the end he didn't say anything about you."

Fred followed suit and said in a measured tone: "Hey, Harry is the only Seeker in Gryffindor. No one can replace him. He is so awesome!"

Harry looked a little pale.

He felt like the twins were mocking him, even though they didn't mean it.

"Sorry, I, I was a little distracted this afternoon."

George looked at his expression and said in a serious tone: "Seriously, go to the infirmary and get some medicine. I suspect you are sick."

Fred agreed: "Not only is your mind absent, but your expression also looks very pale. Are you anemic? Maybe I can give you a red date supplement?"

Harry fled in panic.

He felt that if he stayed here any longer, the twins would definitely talk endlessly. This was too scary!

As Harry returned to the Gryffindor common room.

Grace was also called to Professor McGonagall's office.

-

"So, Harry and Grace will also be visited by the professor?"

In the laboratory, Lin Xia, Draco, Hermione and Ron were all talking about the conversation with the professor at noon.

Lin Xia said: "It should be."

She added: "If Snape would listen to me."

Hermione suddenly thought of something: "Maybe Harry has been found. I saw him going to Professor McGonagall's office in the afternoon."

As for why you saw it?

It's very simple. Hermione often goes to Professor McGonagall to ask questions and maintains a good "teacher and friend" relationship with the professor.

She opened the laboratory window, whistled, and a little bird appeared in front of her.

Hermione hurried back, waved her wand, wrote a note with an automatic quill, and stuffed it into the messenger cage next to the bird's legs.

"Give it to Harry Potter for me."

After finishing speaking, Hermione fed the bird some more magic feed.

She closed the window again, turned around and said, "I sent a letter to call Harry over. Maybe we can get some useful news."

same moment.

Grace sat down and glanced around unscrupulously, a little disrespectful of Professor McGonagall.

This is Voldemort's original character design based on the opinions of Grace's friends.

Grace is very arrogant, a pure-blood advocate, and a member of the down-and-out aristocratic class...

Voldemort was pleased with him.

If it wasn't possessed by him, he would definitely become one of his fierce generals.

Professor McGonagall observed Grace and felt that this student was a little different. He was too casual and not nervous at all.

McGreg asked thoughtfully: "Gris, do you know snake language?"

Gris pulled the corner of his mouth, "Professor, isn't this obvious? I don't want to answer such a low-level question."

McGreg continued to ask calmly: "Do you know the location of the Chamber of Secrets?"

Gris: "I don't know."

McGreg asked again: "After the basilisk comes out, can you track him?"

Gris: "It should be possible. I have heard some of the basilisk's voices, but I haven't chased it."

He paused and asked puzzledly: "Professor, you are not my dean. These questions should be asked by the dean. Why is it the dean of Gryffindor who asks me?"

Professor McGreg raised his eyebrows and asked back: "You don't know?"

Gris: "Huh? What can I know?"

McGreg: "Hasn't anyone told you that you are a Gryffindor?"

Gris's mouth twitched.

Crazy!

How could he be like those irritable and brainless lions!

Professor McGonagall stood up and looked down at him: "This expression of disrespect for the professor is very Gryffindor."

Grace:...

He reiterated again and again, "Professor, if you want to ask me questions next time, I ask Professor Snape to ask."

After Grace left, two familiar voices came from Professor McGonagall's office.

Male Auror: "No lie."

Female Auror: "But he can also find out where the basilisk is."

McGonagall said lightly: "No one knows the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets."

Suddenly, she thought of something, "The basilisk should not be discovered by them. On the day when Lin Xia and Hermione were attacked, Harry and Grace had no reaction. They ran over only after hearing about it from others."

The female Auror and the male Auror looked at each other, and both saw a hint of helplessness.

Female Auror: "If that's the case, the investigation will be more difficult and the situation will become more complicated."

The male Auror emphasized again: "We must find a reasonable identity and appear openly."

The two Aurors said in unison: "Vice Principal, I need your help!"

Professor McGonagall was speechless.

If there is something, it's the Vice Principal, if there is nothing, it's the Professor, right?

...

Lin Xia and others waited for Harry for a long time, but they didn't see Harry come to the laboratory.

The curfew bell rang, and they had to return to their respective common rooms. On the way, they met some professors who were preparing for night patrols.

Lin Xia chatted and laughed with the professor.

Draco observed silently, thinking that he would do it next time.

Returning to the golden wooden house, Lin Xia did not open the diary, intending to give it a long and long thought.

Her talent in magic runes has increased a lot, and she has studied alchemical products quickly. Tom's role in her is no longer as big as she imagined before.

After all, this is just Tom in his school days.

And he is best at black magic.

It is somewhat difficult to turn black into white, and you have to train step by step.

Lin Xia practiced as usual.

Originally, she thought that after entering the Xuandian realm, the magic power gathered in the golden wooden house might not be enough for her, but after practicing, she found that she thought too much.

There is still plenty of magic power!

Lin Xia thought that it should be able to support her next stage of practice.

These days, whenever she has free time, she studies her eye of knowing fate.

——The power of fate lies in not being able to be peeped or manipulated. If you see through fate, fate also sees through you.

This is a sentence that slowly emerged in Lin Xia's mind.

She couldn't understand its meaning at first, but later found that "not being able to be peeped or manipulated" should be the real fate.

Her eye of knowing fate seems to be able to peek into the fate of others, but every time she peeks, it will cause a small change to the fate of others.

——You think you see through fate and can control everything, but in the end you are still fooled by fate, like a jumping clown.

After the thought was clear, Lin Xia no longer bothered about the triggering conditions of the Knowing Fate Eye, and left everything to fate.

She would eventually know what she should know.

She would also bear the consequences of forcibly seeing the fate of others and interfering with their life trajectories.

Most importantly, how do you know whether you want to interfere or choose to do so under the temptation of fate?

After the training, Lin Xia used various tools to test her physical fitness.

In the ordinary form, her strength increased again.

Entering the Xuandian realm, the body changes again. This change is not a one-step change, but a slow transformation of the human body.

Make it closer to the "perfect" form.

When Lin Xia looked in the mirror, she found that her eyes seemed to be changing from light gold to gold.

The next day, early in the morning.

Harry had breakfast alone early, not going to the classroom with Ron, and avoiding Hermione.

"Did something happen to him?" Hermione asked speechlessly, holding a pile of books in her hand.

Ron shook his head, looking confused: "I don't know either!"

Hermione gave half of the book to Ron and asked him to help carry it. Ron looked down at the heavy book with a bitter expression.

It felt like this was the purpose of Hermione's companionship with him.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning!"

Lin Xia and Draco met them and greeted them. Draco looked around, "Where's Harry?"

Ron frowned: "I think he is hiding from me, and I don't know what happened."

As he spoke, he gave some of the book in his hand to Draco.

Draco flipped the cover of the book and saw Hermione's name, so he took it.

Lin Xia asked: "Weren't you together in the morning?"

Ron shook his head: "No, he got up very early, and I couldn't find him. I finally saw him at breakfast in the Great Hall. As soon as I greeted him, he turned around and ran away."

Draco thought for a while: "Could it be related to what happened yesterday? I found out that Harry was called to Professor McGonagall's office, and Grace was also called there in the evening."

Ron: "That's related to the Chamber of Secrets. What's there to hide?"

Lin Xia said: "Stop him and ask him when the time comes. He can't hide from us forever."

The first class in the morning is History of Magic.

Professor Binns's slow tone is the best lullaby. More than half of the little wizards couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

In the past, in the History of Magic class, Lin Xia was busy writing papers.

The progress of her research has been good recently. She has rarely relaxed. She listened to the professor's lecture while looking out the window.

She used the super-sensory spell.

She blocked other senses and only released the amplification of her eyes. In an instant, a brand new world slowly unfolded in front of her.

Lin Xia found that her consciousness was extremely active, as if it could leave her body and float to a farther place, as long as she focused her attention.

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows. This should be some special changes between the super-sensory spell and the consciousness, which led to such a result.

She didn't care too much.

After coming to the Xuandian Realm, her body has been mature. The bloodline abilities of the Eastern Warlock, the abilities of the high-level wizards, and the abilities brought by the Xuandian Realm will be unlocked step by step.

Just like opening a blind box, she never knows what abilities she will unlock.

Although it is full of unknowns, there is also a good thing.

That is, once unlocked, she can use it quickly, and there is no need to study and practice deliberately.

Suddenly, Lin Xia's eyes moved slightly, and her consciousness fell along the place where her sight was focused, magnifying the senses of that place.

She saw a lush forest, each tree was tall and strong, and there were many small creatures living on it. The sunlight passed through the leaves and fell on the ground in a mottled pattern.

——This is the Forbidden Forest.

Several people appeared in front of her, their lips kept moving and talking.

Lin Xia recognized that one of them was Cornelius Fudge, who had come to her house to discuss business.

He was surrounded by a group of people, and Professor Snape was at the end of the team. He was the only professor in the group.

She tried to focus her mind on their slightly moving lips, and soon read the lip language-

"Get the punishment he deserves and be imprisoned in Azkaban."

"But Dumbledore doesn't allow us to do this..."

"How could it be, he won't let Hagrid, who opened the Chamber of Secrets, go unpunished, but he didn't do it because of the past agreement. We have to do it for Dumbledore in advance."

Lin Xia frowned slightly, Hagrid is in danger? !
