Chapter 104 Secret Room
The brightly lit office was very quiet at the moment, with only the voice of the teacher, who sounded like an accusation, ringing out.
Harry felt a little uneasy when he saw that the cult was pointing the finger at him, but he still said softly: "Yes, it's me!"
It seemed that Teacher Si had been waiting for this answer. He turned around and said to Principal Deng:
"Principal, they don't seem to have attended the Halloween dinner. Besides, it's hard to explain why they appeared in the corridor upstairs."
However, Principal Deng disagreed with this and said directly: "Second graders cannot use such strong black magic."
"My cat is petrified! I hope someone gets punished for this!"
Hearing Principal Deng's obvious defense, Filch, who had just recovered from crying, screamed.
Hearing Filch's accusation, Stanislav seemed to see hope and kept adding fuel to the fire, wanting Harry to be punished!
Harry, who was being questioned, hesitated, as if he had admitted that he was the criminal.
In the office, everyone was talking at the same time, and the situation was almost out of control.
"Severus, Filch, it is not advisable to blindly judge a student guilty without any evidence." Principal Deng said firmly.
In the end, Captain Dunn briefly suppressed Filch and Teacher Strom.
At the signal from Principal Deng, Wright and the other three left the office and returned to the Gryffindor common room.
After returning to the lounge, Wright and his three companions saw Neville holding an insulated box, waiting for them to come back.
"Thank you, Neville!" Ron took the incubator from Neville and said happily.
Neville waved his hand and said:
"No, no, Wright brought it to you. I'm just holding it."
"Thank you, Wright!" Harry and the other two thanked Wright while eating the food they had packed.
"It's okay, it's just a coincidence!" Wright saw the three people wolfing down their food and couldn't help asking, "Is this 'Deathday Dinner' bad?"
“It’s not bad, it’s very bad!”
Hermione instantly got furious and started complaining without even eating:
"You know what? There were hundreds of ghosts floating around at that party, and there were only three of us alive. And some of them looked so hard to accept."
"Even the food at the banquet was rotten and moldy."
After complaining about this, Hermione looked at Ron, who was eating like crazy, with a look of disdain and continued:
"You don't know, Ron might have been cursed, but he could actually eat the food when he saw it."
"I was terrified when he stuffed moldy cheese into his mouth while saying something like 'I'm here now'!"
Neville looked at Ron with sympathy and asked timidly, "What happened next? Was Ron okay?"
Before Hermione could answer, Ron jumped up and patted his chest to indicate that there was no problem.
Hermione rolled her eyes when she saw this and complained, "If it weren't for Harry and I holding you down, you would have eaten meat infested with maggots."
Hearing this, Ron was immediately dissatisfied and retorted: "I ate moldy cheese, that's fine! Meat with maggots is not a big problem either."
Seeing that the two seemed to be about to quarrel, Neville hurriedly stepped in between them to act as a peacemaker and calm them down.
Wright watched this relaxing scene with interest.
I glanced at Harry and saw that he was eating silently. He looked like he was worried about something, so I asked:
"Harry, what's wrong with you!"
Harry, who was suddenly called, looked up at Wright in confusion.
"It's okay. You seem to be very troubled, so I just asked." Seeing that Harry looked worried, Wright explained.
After a moment's silence, Harry shook his head to indicate that it was okay!
In response, Wright did not ask any further questions. He turned around and worked with Neville to comfort Hermione and Ron.
After dealing with Hermione and Ron, Wright glanced at the clock in the lounge, then looked at Harry and the other two, who had not yet finished their food, and said:
"I'm going back to the dormitory to wash up first, you guys take your time eating."
When Wright got up and went back to the dormitory, he pulled Neville, who was sweating profusely from persuading others, back to the dormitory together.
Hermione looked at the receding figures of Wright and Neville, and couldn't help but said to Harry:
"Should we tell them about the strange noises you heard in the corridor earlier?"
"Maybe Wright will know something!"
Harry was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said softly, "I almost dragged Wright into this just now. This has nothing to do with him!"
Hermione was instantly convinced by this reason and without further ado, she picked up the cutlery and started eating.
The uproar over this incident did not fade away with the passage of time.
For several days, students talked about the attack on Mrs. Lowries.
Mainly, the people in the Serpentine Academy have been sending out press releases, spreading the word everywhere: the heir to the Chamber of Secrets has appeared, and will clean out all the Muggle wizards in the academy to prove the glory of pure blood.
This also resulted in all the copies of "A History of Hogwarts" in the library being borrowed out!
Filch, with red eyes, looked everywhere for the possible murderer.
During the process, quite a few little wizards who were laughing and joking in the corridor were caught and put in solitary confinement.
Also for this reason, almost all the young wizards avoided Wright and Hermione, for fear of being affected by the heir of the Chamber of Secrets.
After the Transfiguration class, Harry looked at Hermione and Ron, said hello to Wright, and left together.
Seeing the trio disappear collectively after class, Wright understood that they planned to deal with the matter of the secret room themselves.
"This is good. Perhaps the attraction between the Horcruxes can help us find the criminal quickly." Wright thought to himself.
Without paying any attention to the three people who left, Wright walked straight to the Room of Requirement.
After arriving at the Room of Requirement, Wright took out the surveillance camera that he had placed at the door of the abandoned women's restroom and began to check it!
In the past few days, he checked the video more than once, but did not see any trace of the basilisk.
For this purpose, Wright went to get the surveillance footage back and started checking it.
After a thorough inspection, no problems were found. Finally, I took it apart and still found no problems.
After reassembling the disassembled surveillance camera, Wright already had the answer in his mind.
Either there is a secret entrance and exit in the secret room, or the basilisk never went back.
"This is getting more and more troublesome. Why would Voldemort launch an attack on Halloween? I have no idea what he was thinking."
After coming out of the Room of Requirement, Wright saw the edge of the window.
Dozens of spiders were crawling in panic, along the silver threads outside the glass, trying to escape from here quickly.
