Chapter 181 New Attack, Martial Law

Jing Shen Tian Si
"What?" Hermione turned pale with fright, and looked around cautiously, for fear that she would see a pair of huge eyeballs in the next second.
"Don't be so nervous." Aaron smiled as if nothing had happened, and said calmly: "Ninety-nine percent of the people in Hogwarts are here, including the powerful professors and the unfathomable Dumbledore. It's safer than here."
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, but soon she thought of something, "If the target of the basilisk is not here, it means..."
"The castle." Ron turned his head to look at Hogwarts Castle, and swallowed uncontrollably, "We have to stop it quickly, or students will die."
"How to stop it?
Just rely on our three small bodies? "Aaron asked back, "Although I don't want to say that, unfortunately, we can't help much, and we just give the basilisk extra meals after we pass.
Even if Dumbledore is called, it can't catch up. The basilisk kills people faster than the spell. "
"That means we can't do anything?" Hermione said anxiously.
"You can say that.
I have experienced this feeling of powerlessness several times.
Before finding the secret room, all we can do is pray, and hope that the students targeted by the basilisk are looking at it indirectly. Aaron shrugged helplessly, and then looked at Hermione, "It's best not to go out alone until the matter is over, and your safety is guaranteed to some extent with Harry and Ron, two purebloods."
Even if you have to go out alone, always carry a mirror with you, because... through the mirror, you can avoid looking directly at the basilisk. "
Hermione nodded blankly. While feeling desperate, there was also a hint of joy in her heart. Anyway, this was considered a kind of concern.
"Wait!" Aaron paused slightly, "It's not right!"
"What's wrong?" Ron asked.
"What a coincidence, what a coincidence.
The diary was stolen yesterday, and today the door of the secret room was opened again. "
"You mean there's something wrong with Riddle's diary?" Hermione said a little nervously, "Could it be that you're overthinking it? Isn't it as good as before, after Harry found it for so long?"
"That's right." Ron nodded in agreement, "Maybe the heir of Slytherin thought that he would have no worries after getting the diary, and maybe he couldn't wait to try the power of the basilisk."
"I hope I'm thinking too much." Aaron said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, the Chamber of Secrets incident would be too complicated."
At this time, there was a huge cheer on the field, and the Gryffindor team in red robes and the Hufflepuff team in yellow robes flew over the field at the same time.
The game is about to start, and the fourteen players are doing warm-up exercises.
Ms. Huozaki released the Bludger and the Snitch. Just as she was about to throw the Quaffle and the game officially started, Professor McGonagall hurried to the center of the court.
"I regret to inform you that the competition has been cancelled." Professor McGonagall held a large microphone, with a hint of panic and anxiety in his voice, "Now, please return to your common room, the person in charge of the college will tell you If you have more information, please leave as soon as possible.”
"It is estimated that the attack was discovered." Aaron sighed, "There has been another attack in the new semester, and the school may not be able to suppress it this time."
"Then we..."
Hermione wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Aaron, "Let's look at the school's decision first, what we can do is limited after all, and it's hard to protect ourselves.
If it really comes to a point where Hogwarts has to be shut down, let's have a showdown with Dumbledore!
Safety first, I really don't want to force the other party to die unless it is absolutely necessary. "
"The professors will understand," said Ron.
Hermione also comforted: "Everyone will understand you,"
Aaron noticed the firmness on the faces of the two of them, and he was a little confused. He wanted to laugh but couldn't.
These two people are definitely thinking about it. It doesn't matter what they understand, but Hogwarts must not be shut down.
How many years of struggle can he save by signing in at the magic school!
Wait, it seems that Hogwarts is not the only school in the wizarding world. I have time to try other wizarding schools in the future. If it is more cost-effective, it is not impossible to transfer.
Aaron's thoughts were surging rapidly, but he quickly killed the idea of transferring schools. Apart from Hogwarts, his freedom to go to other places would be greatly restricted. Maybe someone would follow him when he went to the bathroom, and the gain outweighed the loss ah!
"Ahem! I don't like things like being in the limelight.
If there is a showdown, you should tell Dumbledore.
When the time comes, remember that everything was found out by you, so don't mention my name. "
"It's not appropriate!" Ron said hesitantly.
He admitted that he was a little moved, which is a great credit, even bigger than the Academy Cup.
In the future, he will become a hero of Hogwarts, and his parents and several older brothers will also look at him with admiration.
But this is the clue that Aaron worked so hard to find out, and he wouldn't have the cheek to snatch the fruits of other people's labor.
Hermione also shook her head, "It's really inappropriate, we didn't help you at all."
"No, believe me, it's fitting, it's fitting," Aaron said very seriously, "You guys get the limelight, I get the understatement I want, it's a win-win for us.
Of course, if you don't want to, I can go to Draco and trust him..."
"I agree." Ron said immediately.
Accepting Aaron's gift with the cheek and watching Malfoy show off, he will definitely choose the former without hesitation.
Besides, the matter is not serious enough yet!
"Okay, then it's such a happy decision."
The three of them followed the team of students and returned to their common rooms.
After a while, a message came out.
Ravenclaw's prefect Penelope Clearwater was attacked, but like the previous cases, he was petrified and his life was not in danger.
She was lucky, she happened to be holding a mirror in her hand, and she might be looking at the basilisk indirectly.
Professor Snape came to the Slytherin common room in person. He looked the same as usual, and he didn't have the seriousness that was about to come.
"I'm sure everyone knows that the attack happened again.
Although I don't think Slytherin will be any danger, because everyone is pure blood wizard. "
After the words fell, the students in the common room showed knowing smiles.
As the saying goes, nothing to do with oneself, hang high.
The fire couldn't burn them. Compared with the other three houses, Slytherin still felt very safe.
"However, Dumbledore formulated the following new regulations." Professor Snape said indifferently, "All students must return to the common room before six o'clock, and no student is allowed to leave the dormitory after this time.
All students must be accompanied by a teacher in class and are not allowed to use the bathroom without a teacher.
All training and competitions are postponed, and no activities will be held at night. "
"It's unnecessary." Draco said angrily, "and restricts the development of Slytherin."
"I don't think it's fair to the Slytherins, Malfoy either.
But this was the headmaster's order after all, and Dumbledore was worried that Hogwarts would close down if things got too serious. "
"He's worried that he won't be able to keep his principal's seat!
My dad used to say that having Dumbledore headmaster was the worst thing that could happen to Hogwarts. "Draco said without hesitation, and Crabbe and Goyle behind him also sneered disdainfully.
"Ahem!" Aaron coughed and gave him a warning look, "Draco, I have to tell you a fact.
Now you are a student and Dumbledore is the headmaster. "
Draco pursed his lips and stopped mocking.
Snape glanced at Aaron appreciatively, "The regulations I just mentioned will take effect immediately. I don't want you to take the regulations seriously. This is for your own safety."
......
As the evening approached, Aaron planned to practice advanced magic circles after feeding the two roosters in the cage.
But the sudden knock on the door made him temporarily dispel this idea.
"come in!"
The door opened, but no one was seen.
But after a while, there was the sound of rolling the curtains in the air, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione got out of the invisibility cloak.
"I'm going." Aaron rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "I have to admit that you have refreshed my knowledge time and time again, and you will come to see me in this way, even if the school is under martial law. As for it!"
"We're going to find Hagrid."
"Then go!" Aaron looked at Harry dumbfounded, "I won't stop you."
"We want you to go with us," Harry explained. "Time is running out, and Professor McGonagall said that unless the culprit is found, Hogwarts will be closed."
"So? What does this have to do with calling me or not?"
"But with you on both sides, we won't be embarrassed." Hermione said embarrassingly, "otherwise we wouldn't be ashamed to ask him."
"Oh!" Aaron suddenly realized, and said with a light smile, "It's hard enough for you.
Don't get your hopes up, though, Hagrid was clearly wronged 50 years ago, and he doesn't have any valuable clues. "
"Let's count it out!" Harry said eagerly, "We must find the Chamber of Secrets to prevent the heir from committing another murder."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, don't be so anxious."
"No, you don't understand the seriousness of the matter." Harry said bitterly, "Once Hogwarts closes, I have to go back to Vernon's house.
It doesn't feel like home to me, and I'd be homeless. "
Aaron was silent for a while, then nodded slightly, "Okay! Who makes me a kinder person!"
When the three of them heard this, they all showed a touch of joy on their faces.
"Wait, there's another problem." Hermione suddenly realized something, her expression changed slightly, "The invisibility cloak is barely enough to cover three people, and it's impossible to squeeze four people out."
Ron looked at Abe, "It's not just four people, I'm afraid we have to add a pet."
"Don't be so nervous." Aaron smiled as if nothing had happened, and said calmly: "Ninety-nine percent of the people in Hogwarts are here, including the powerful professors and the unfathomable Dumbledore. It's safer than here."
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, but soon she thought of something, "If the target of the basilisk is not here, it means..."
