Chapter 320 Abnormal
Hagrid was taken away by the Ministry of Magic, but fear still reigned in Hogwarts Castle.
Because the monster in that secret room has not been found out, it is still possible that it will attack everyone.
The professors acted as if nothing had happened, escorting students from classroom to classroom during the day and patrolling the castle floors at night.
Although Lockhart said many times that the danger was over and there was no need to waste time escorting the students, no one listened to him.
The Hufflepuff common room is always packed these days because there's nowhere else for students to go after six in the evening and there's always a lot to talk about.
After dinner, Kyle played wizard chess with Cedric as usual, but today his record was a bit bad.
For more than an hour, Kyle didn't win a game.
"Why do I feel that you are absent-minded." Cedric asked while tidying up the chessboard: "Still thinking about the Chamber of Secrets."
"No..." Kyle shook his head, "I just feel uncomfortable."
Since a few days ago, he has felt dizzy in his head, and it is difficult to concentrate on doing 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 mind.
"You probably have a cold." Connor glanced at Kyle with some concern.
The recent weather is a bit abnormal. Although it is almost summer, it has been raining, hot and cold, and many people in the castle have caught a cold.
"I think it should be." Cedric put away the chessboard, "Would you like to write 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, turned out a bottle of red potion from his pocket, pulled out the stopper and took a sip.
In the next second, a puff of steam rose from his head, and the drowsiness was relieved a lot.
Because he was not feeling well, not long after drinking the medicine, Kyle went back to the dormitory, lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
Kyle had a very long dream. In the dream, he came to the secret room, and all the snakes carved on the pillars came to life and surrounded him.
But the strange thing is that they neither attacked nor let him go, they just surrounded him...
The next day, Kyle was woken up by Ryan shaking him.
Professor Sprout was waiting at the door to take them to class.
"You slept almost twelve hours."
Mickle put a few wrapped sandwiches on the table, "I heard from Cedric that you have a cold, why don't you take a leave of absence with Professor Sprout... If it's you, it's okay to miss a day of class of."
"No need." Kyle shook his head, "I've taken the medicine, so it should be fine."
"Okay then..." Mikel and Ryan didn't say anything more.
……
I don't know if it's because the refreshing potion has expired, but Kyle drank it for three days in a row, but it didn't help at all.
He was still groggy every day, and always had the same dream at night.
On the third night, he fell asleep as soon as he was back in the common room.
"No, you'd better go to the school hospital."
After Cedric woke him up, he could not help but write to Professor Sprout.
Kyle didn't refuse this time, because he also found that something was wrong with him.
The written message was delivered by Raton, and Cedric and Connor also changed into their robes, preparing to accompany Kyle to the school hospital when 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 also wanted to be together, but were rejected.
Professor Sprout led Kyle out of the common room and down the empty hallway.
She looked very nervous, looking around constantly, her wand still tightly gripped in her hand.
Kyle soon understood 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 stiff, like a statue.
Professor McGonagall was questioning Lockhart angrily.
"Students are being attacked... just because you're going to get your hair done?!"
"I, I don't know..." Lockhart was shaking, his wand still stuck in his hair.
"There's only one corridor left...they said they don't need to send it away..." Lockhart stammered and defended himself.
"So you went back?" Professor McGonagall looked like an angry lion, "You know that Dumbledore is not at school today, why do you dare to let the students leave alone!"
"But, Hagrid has obviously been arrested..."
"Obviously, the real heir is someone else." Snape said coldly, "Unfortunately, why didn't that monster come to you."
"..."
"Bobby, can you come and see this kid?"
At this time, Professor Sprout walked in with Kyle Kyle.
After hearing her words, the campus hospital fell silent instantly. The professors stopped accusing Lockhart and turned their heads almost at the same time.
"Relax, 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, with regret, but also a little rejoicing.
Madam Pomfrey ran over and pulled Kyle to examine it carefully...
Taking advantage of this time, the professors drew 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 to keep having the same dream."
She took Kyle to a hospital bed, "You are staying here today..."
Kyle nodded and sat quietly on the bed.
"Is it possible..." Snape asked in a long voice, "He's fine at all."
"I make my own judgment, Professor Snape."
Madam Pomfrey said with a stern face: "I can tell at a glance whether I am pretending to be sick or not. 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 labeled "Dreamless Sleep Potion."
"Try this first." She poured a large steaming cup and handed it to Kyle. "It should give you a good night's sleep."
The medicine in the school hospital was as bad as ever, but luckily it was bearable.
After Kyle finished drinking, Madam Pomfrey withdrew and helped him close the curtain by the way.
Not long after, the professors also left. In order to prevent more students from being attacked, they had to go back to the castle to patrol immediately.
The school hospital quickly quieted down.
The Dreamless Sleep Potion did give Kyle 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 frowning.
Kyle should have thought of this day long ago. If the basilisk remains unsolved, 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 your friends, in danger for a basilisk?
The answer is no... there is no doubt about it.
But why did I hesitate before?
Kyle's face was ugly and terrible.
Especially a few days ago, he already thought of telling Dumbledore about the matter, but he just fell asleep, and this idea was forgotten by him, leaving no trace.
When did my memory get so bad?
Or a confusion spell?
But if it's the Confusion Charm, who is it... Riddle's diary?
When did he do it, and why he has no memory at all.
Kyle didn't dare to sleep anymore, he resisted the constant buzzing in his head, and sat up from the bed.
