Chapter 140: Phoenix
Half a month after the first attack by the basilisk, another victim appeared on the second night after a Quidditch match.
Kewen was proficient in the spell in the ‘House of All Requests’, when suddenly a ‘Guardian Messenger’ rushed in, threw a note to him and disappeared.
spread out the note, there is only one word on it-infirmary.
Seeing this, Kewen put away his wand, turned and left the practice room, rushing all the way to the infirmary.
It didn't take long to come to the infirmary. Inside, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were whispering around a hospital bed.
Kewen looked at the hospital bed, and then turned to look at another hospital bed with someone lying on it.
Combining the data in memory, Kewen understood the situation.
At this time, Dumbledore saw Cowen at the door, so he raised his hand and beckoned.
When Cowen came closer, Dumbledore asked in a low voice: "My child, do you still have mature ‘Mandrakes’ there?"
Professor McGonagall added anxiously: "You have also seen that Colin Crevey was also attacked and petrified like Mrs. Loris."
Kewen shook his head: "No, the previous'Mandrake' is the only one I can buy."
Professor McGonagall was very disappointed when he heard the words, and sighed: "It should be the same. After all,'Mandrake' is too dangerous. Not many people outside will cultivate it."
"Then you can only wait." Dumbledore looked down at the petrified Colin Crevey, and said softly, "But the'Mandrake' in the academy may not mature until the end of the expiry date."
"What should we do now?" Professor McGonagall asked Dumbledore somewhat helplessly.
After hearing the words, Dumbledore turned his head slightly and looked at Harry, who was hospitalized because of the Quidditch match and was injured in the distant hospital bed.
Raised the volume slightly, Dumbledore said, "Tell all the staff the truth that the academy is no longer safe. As we feared, the secret room was indeed opened again."
After hearing this, Professor McGonagall was even more worried.
did not stay much, everyone quickly left the infirmary.
Professor McGonagall left to make some arrangements, while Dumbledore greeted Cowen and returned to the principal's office together.
Facing Corvin alone, Dumbledore showed some worry. After sitting down, he made a cup of milk tea for Corvin, and then asked, "My child, do you have any ideas about adapting?"
"It does." Kewen nodded in response.
Dumbledore couldn't help but stunned. He just mentioned it casually, a little helplessly. He didn't expect that Cowen could really provide him with some surprises.
Regardless of whether Cowen’s thoughts were useful, Dumbledore hurriedly sat up straight, urging: "What is it?"
"I have recently observed changes in the academy."
Kewen held the cup of milk tea and did not drink it. He said directly: “The spiders in the castle have been escaping from the castle recently, even if they need to face the severe cold outside, they have to flee the castle.”
"Also." Kewen continued: "I heard that Mr. Hagrid has also had some problems over there. The roosters he raised have been constantly being mutilated."
Dumbledore heard the words and began to consider the information provided by Kewen, but unfortunately, he couldn't get any results for a while.
Kewen saw this, so he reminded: "You know my memory, so these two situations are related to the content of a book."
"Which book?" Dumbledore gave up thinking and asked directly, "What is it?"
""Greek Natural History"."
Kewen took out his wand and shook it in the air.
Immediately, a small piece of phantom light appeared, and finally formed a scene with the contents of a page displayed on it.
"Basilisk..." Dumbledore murmured in shock after reading the content projected by Cowen.
The next moment, Dumbledore regained his senses, and then successfully connected all the situations together.
"That's it...that's how it is!"
‘唰’ abruptly got up, and after pacing a few back and forth, Dumbledore said with all his anxiety: "Very good boy! Thank you! You really helped us!"
Very impatient, Dumbledore, who learned the details, planned to leave overnight to prepare something.
So after confessing a few words to Kewen hastily, he left the college through the fireplace in the principal's room.
The next day, Cowen did not see Dumbledore throughout the day.
Dumbledore didn't reappear until the dinner, and his expression seemed much more relaxed.
……
The weekend two days later, it was Dumbledore’s one-on-one tutoring time for Cowen.
Kewen entered the principal's office for a moment, because in this office he was already very familiar with, there was one more thing now.
It was a bird stand, on which stood a somewhat ugly phoenix, with a melancholy appearance that seemed to be suffering from a serious illness.
At this time, Dumbledore, who heard Cowen's greeting, appeared on the second floor. After seeing Cowen's strange eyes, he smiled and said, "That's Fox."
"Fox?"
Because Dumbledore is far upstairs and his pronunciation is a bit vague, Kewen is a little bit confused~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is Fox. "
Dumbledore repeated with a smile.
This time Kewen heard it clearly, and then smiled suddenly: "Is this a phoenix or a phoenix in the east?"
"It's the Phoenix." Dumbledore walked down the stairs and came to the side of the Phoenix and said apologetically: "It's nearing the moment of rebirth, but I have to interrupt it and let him come to the academy to help."
Kewen nodded in understanding.
Although the dragons and phoenixes in the magical world are not mythological creatures, their personalities in the category of magical creatures still belong to the apex.
Although Kewen didn't want to admit that the Fox in front of him was a phoenix, there was no problem using it to suppress the basilisk.
Then the two chatted for a while, and then Dumbledore started teaching...
In the days after , except for Dumbledore and Cowen, everyone else still seemed uneasy.
Dumbledore was already prepared, but he didn't tell anyone else about it.
Kewen asked why this is the case.
Dumbledore’s answer was that what he really wanted to conceal was not the professor in the academy, but someone else. He was preparing to fish, and using this crisis in the academy to catch a big fish.
Combining the plot memory in his mind, Cowen suddenly realized that Dumbledore had to deal with the Malfoy family as one of the college's directors.
The reason why there will be basilisks in the academy this year, the source is all in Lucius Malfoy.
is the notebook of one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, secretly given to Ron's sister Ginny Weasley before school starts.
After , the remnant soul in the Horcrux bewitched and controlled Ginny, thus opening the secret room in the castle and releasing the basilisk...
