Chapter 33 The game is suspended
"Please forgive me." Dumbledore said, "I have always been doubtful about your guesses and inferences, Xia Ran."
Xia Ran was quite speechless. It turns out that Professor Dumbledore, you never believed my "inference" - it was actually a familiarity with the plot of the original time and space. I put it forward in a new way and used the results to reverse the process. It was extremely difficult. , much more relaxed.
Dumbledore picked up Colin Creevey, the unfortunate little wizard - compared to an adult like Xia Ran, Dumbledore looked tall, let alone Colin Creevey, who was only in the first grade. New student, only 11 years old.
"I will send Colin to the school hospital first and ask Madam Pomfrey to take a look at him. Xia Ran, please go to the Quidditch pitch and protect all students back to the castle. I believe Minerva, Severus will be happy to help you." Dumbledore said as he picked up Colin Creevey and walked away, which was in the direction of the school hospital.
Xia Ran left Hogwarts Castle in three steps at a time, pulled out the wand in his robe, and soon arrived at the Quidditch pitch. Two college Quidditch players were warming up and flying in the air. , while Ms. Huo Qi, a first-year flight course professor, stood aside, checking the time from time to time to see if it was time for the race to start.
Several stands were almost full of students, and there were many professors among them, such as Professor McGonagall in Gryffindor Square and Severus Snape in Slytherin House. They all wore The representative color of your college.
At this moment, Harry was about to ride on his broomstick, but suddenly he saw Professor Frémont running into the stadium, holding the professor's own wand high in his hand, his expression even more unusually solemn, and Harry's heart suddenly went crazy. Sunk to the bottom.
Ms. Huo Qi looked at Xia Ran and said: "Professor Frémont, you are late, the start time is coming soon." She knew that Professor McGonagall and Snape invited Xia Ran to the Quidditch pitch.
Xia Ran pointed at her throat with her wand and said, "The voice is loud!" This is a spell that can amplify the wizard's voice.
"The game is cancelled!" Xia Ran said to several high platforms. The crowd immediately emitted shouts and boos of dissatisfaction, and several Quidditch players who had flown into the sky landed on the ground one after another, expressions on their faces He looked dissatisfied and shouted at Xia Ran.
"Professor, Professor Frémont, we still have a competition, the Quidditch Cup!" This was the voice of Oliver Wood, captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
Xia Ran ignored him and continued to shout to the stands: "Students in all colleges must return to the common rooms of their respective colleges immediately. Going out without permission is absolutely not allowed. The prefects of each college must do their jobs well and assume their responsibilities." It’s the prefect’s responsibility!”
The roar of dissatisfaction in the crowd grew louder.
"What happened? Professor Frémont." Professor McGonagall asked loudly from the stands.
Xia Ran replied: "A student was petrified, another attack! The victim was a Gryffindor student!"
"Oh, my God!" Professor McGonagall's face turned pale instantly.
The crowd became quiet all of a sudden, almost all of them opened their eyes wide, with fear radiating from their pupils. The victim this time turned out to be a wizard? ! Last time it was clearly just a cat.
"Professor McGonagall, you can come with me to the campus hospital. Professor Snape and Mrs. Hooch, please take care of the students from each college back to their respective common rooms in the castle." Xia Ran said.
He and Professor McGonagall entered the castle and went straight to the school hospital.
A group of young wizards, escorted by two teachers, crowded back to the castle. At this time, other teachers also heard Xia Ran's words, and walked out of their offices one after another, took over the escort duties, and sent all the students to the castle without missing a beat. In the common room, groups of three or two wandered in the corridors to inspect.
At this time, no students are allowed to go out.
The Gryffindor lounge was particularly nervous. After all, Professor Frémont said that the victim was a student of their Gryffindor House. Who could it be?
Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked to a corner of the common room. Harry lowered his voice and said, "Should I tell the information I know?"
Ron and Hermione understood what Harry meant. He had heard strange voices coming from someone in the castle, followed by an attack. They thought it was because Harry was a Parseltongue and could hear it. He understands snake language, so he made this discovery.
But Ron did not recommend that Harry report it. He said: "Harry, hearing a voice that others cannot hear in the wizarding world is a very ominous omen in itself, not to mention that there were two attacks in succession. We all know that you are not the heir of Slytherin, and you did not control the basilisk to hurt anyone, but others may not think so if they know it."
"Harry, it's useless even if you report it. You don't control the basilisk. The heir of Slytherin is hiding somewhere. You exposed the fact that you know Parseltongue, but it's easy to cause trouble." The heir of Slytherin has murderous intentions, and I'm afraid you will be attacked and petrified next time." Hermione also said.
After hearing what his two good friends said, Harry also gave up the idea of reporting that he knew Parseltongue. He didn't want to be misunderstood by others, not to mention that he had no connection with the Basilisk. He knew that he was completely innocent.
Ginny came to the trio at this time, her face was pale and her eyes were full of panic.
"Ginny, relax, you are a pure-blood wizard, you will not be attacked by the basilisk." Hermione comforted.
"By the way, Hermione, you and Harry should be more careful," Ron said.
Hermione is a Muggle wizard and Harry is a half-blood wizard. They may both be targets of the basilisk.
Ginny's expression grew more horrified.
The trio quickly comforted Ginny.

school clinic.
Colin Creevey was lying on a hospital bed. Madam Pomfrey, the school nurse, was carefully checking Colin's symptoms. Dumbledore was standing beside the hospital bed, with a solemn face, looking at Colin Creevey's condition. .
"Albus..." Professor McGonagall entered the ward and immediately saw Colin lying motionless on the bed. She looked particularly pale and seemed to have a feeling of suffocation.
Xia Ran followed and entered the ward.
Madam Pomfrey stood up and said: "They were petrified again. We can only wait for the mandrake in Professor Sprout's greenhouse to mature before we can prepare the magic potion to revive these two unfortunate victims." ”
Dumbledore nodded but said nothing.
"Colin didn't look directly into the basilisk's pupils. It's a blessing among misfortunes." Xia Ran said with emotion.
"Albus, is the Chamber of Secrets..." Professor McGonagall asked eagerly.
"The Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened again!" Dumbledore said. "I need you to explain the situation to the students in each college in detail, so that they understand the seriousness of the matter and give up the idea of going out at night."
Professor McGonagall turned around and left in a hurry.
