And Gwen, who made a lot of money, can't wait to incarnate in the sea of ​​Jin Galleon. Still with a conscience, she reluctantly sent a few pairs of glasses to Ron, Hermione and Harry, who were coming up the marble stairs. Harry looked as pale as Ginny who hadn't slept in three days. However, Harry said that he already had a pair of glasses, and although Hermione had a lot to say about the name "contact lens", she still researched it for a long time, and Gwen kindly explained their thoughts about Medusa Then, Hermione suddenly reached out and patted her forehead.

"Harry—I just realized something! I'm going to the library!"

She hurried away and went upstairs.

"What did she understand?" Harry said, flustered, still looking around.

"I don't know," said Ron, shaking his head.

"But why did she go to the library?"

"Because that's what Hermione does," said Ron, shrugging his shoulders. "When in doubt, go to the library."

It was later that day, and the whole school was shouting passionately on the Quidditch pitch, less than a few minutes before the game started. Professor Milo suddenly ran across the field with a huge purple microphone in his hand. "The game is canceled," Professor McGonagall said through the microphone into the crowded bleachers. There were boos and shouts of dissatisfaction from the crowd. Professor McGonagall ignored them and continued to shout with the microphone: "All students must return to the common room of the college, where the person in charge of the college will tell you more about the situation. Please leave as soon as possible!"

"Potter, I think you'd better come with me." Professor McGonagall gestured to Harry, Gwen pulled Ron in the audience hard to get out of the complaining crowd Getting out and running towards them, Professor McGonagall didn't object. "Okay, maybe you'd better come too, Weasley." Gwen stepped forward quickly, "I have to take them with me, Professor." The serious witch hesitated for a while, but acquiesced to the three of them to go to the medical wing together.

Professor McGonagall said in a surprisingly gentle voice as they approached the hospital, "Another attack...a double attack again."

In the medical wing, Madam Pomfrey was looking down at a fifth-year Ravenclaw student with long curly hair. On the bed next to her - "Hermione!" Ron exclaimed. Hermione lay there motionless, her dull eyes wide open. "They were found near the library," said Professor McGonagall. "I don't think either of you can explain it. It's..." She took off her round glasses, and the five on the next bed Grade girls also wear one. Harry and Ron opened their mouths, both staring at Hermione and Gwen again.

Gwen's internal organs were violently churning, and his mood was extremely complicated. Her friend was lying on the bed, motionless like a poor statue, and wearing a magic prop of her own making, which not only didn't save her, the professor even hinted that it might have killed Hermione.

Gwen held back the tears, and carefully stated the principle and material of "contact lenses", she heard her own voice trembling frighteningly.

Professor McGonagall resumed her serious face, "It's dangerous, Miss Ollivander. I know the students are working on amulets in private, but you're simply not capable of making decent magic items. I I hope you realize your stupid and reckless behavior..."

Gwen groaned between his fingers covering his face.

"...As for the relationship between glasses and petrochemicals, I don't think it caused it. Now, I will **** you back to Gryffindor Castle." Professor McGonagall said with a heavy heart.

Gwen almost staggered all the way back to the tower. On the way, she met several students who had heard the news, all condemning her with complex eyes.

The Weasley twins sent her back to the girls' dormitory without saying a word when they saw her, and threatened Katie to be optimistic about Gwen and not let her go out. Turning to meet the Hogwarts students questioning with "contact lenses".

When it was late at night, Gwen heard Katie's long breathing, Ginny seemed to have stopped moving, and she came out of the bed and sat barefoot on the window frame of the lounge.

"Don't tell me that because of this, you want to jump from the tower." George appeared out of nowhere, leaning against the window with a half-smile.

"Why are you here?" Gwen asked in a hoarse voice.

A small figure poked out of George's shoulders and waved at her. "I have a very useful little helper."

"I thought...it's magic was gone." Gwen sniffed again.

"Because I happen to be a genius, I cast another spell before it expires, and it will last for about a week." George also jumped up on the window frame and sat beside Gwen.

"I see the students are looking for you..." Gwen nodded.

"No big deal, Fred and I refunded them all, almost all of the glasses." George mumbled casually, as if it really wasn't a big deal. "Listen, Gwen. Fred and I both think your design is fine, and our operations are fairly accurate. I'm sorry Hermione was attacked, but it's not your fault. If it's the professors, there's nothing they can do. The monster attacked the students, so our props can only be regarded as a small fight." After that, he used the Flying Charm to throw a blanket on Gwen.

"I thought the glasses would at least stop..."

"Brace yourself, Gwen. If you think so, you should continue to study, we killed so many mice last semester - no I don't mean to blame you - for success. This Of course it won't be done all at once." He patted Gwen's hand comfortingly, "Let's think about what it is, scarier than a curse, worse than black magic, and able to penetrate the invisibility cloak. Merlin , and running around Hogwarts with Filch."

"Maybe I should go to the library." Gwen thought.

"...Did Hermione possess you?" George jumped away and stared at her from a distance.

Gwen was amused by George's appearance, and immediately decided to spend the past few days in the library.

The Weasley twins and Katie were with Gwen almost twenty-four hours a day, and Fred and George helped her fend off a lot of malice from other students. Gwen didn't feel hurt, but was always worried that his failed invention didn't help his friends. As for the taunts of Slytherin, and the Mr. Weasleys who fought back with claws, Gwen felt like he was drinking a hot butterbeer. What made her even more ironic was that Harry and Ron didn't blame Gwen for Hermione's affairs, but kept trying to find out the truth.

After spending a whole week in the library, Gwen finally read all the books that Hermione had borrowed, the clues were like a mess, she vaguely noticed some information, but always A piece of the West has no clue. So today, she carefully recalled Hermione's performance on the day of the accident, and found a bunch of books that Hermione might read according to her logic.

Watching the Weasley twins four rounds from morning till night by Mrs. Pince's feather duster. Gwen finally finds a page missing from an old library book. She looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so she used a magic wand to restore it to its original state. Fortunately, this book didn't have too complicated magic, and the missing page was just growing out like a new bud. After reading a few lines, Gwen's face became more and more solemn, and he personally woke Fred and George, and under their cover, copied the pages with George's unfinished parchment, and then almost flew out of the book. Hall. The twins somehow found Harry and Ron stalking some spiders in the huge castle.

"Harry, Ron, you'd better look at this." Gwen took out the parchment, "I see very new ink on this parchment, I guess maybe It was Hermione who wrote it in a hurry."

Harry couldn't wait to unfold it, Ron leaned in, and the two read together: There are many terrifying beasts and monsters roaming our country, the most bizarre and deadly among them Nothing is more than the basilisk, also known as the snake king. The snake, which can become very large and usually live for hundreds of years, is hatched from a male egg by a leprosy. The way it kills is amazing. In addition to its deadly fangs, the basilisk's stare can also kill people. Anyone who is stared at by its gaze will die immediately. The spider will run away when it sees the basilisk, because the basilisk is the mortal enemy of the spider, and the basilisk will only run for its life when it hears the crowing of the rooster, because the crowing of the rooster is also deadly to it. Below this passage, there were two words written, which Harry recognized at a glance as Hermione's handwriting. Those two words are: pipe. Suddenly, it was as if someone had suddenly lit a beacon in Harry's mind.

"Ron," he was almost breathless with excitement, "that's it. Here's the answer. The monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk—a giant snake! No wonder I go everywhere I go. Can hear that voice, but others can't. Because I can understand Parseltongue..."

Harry thought about the students lying in the medical wing again.

"Whoever the basilisk's eyes look at will die. But no one is dead here—because none of them are looking directly at it. Colin saw it through the camera. The basilisk scorched the film in the camera, and Colin was just petrified. And Justin.. Justin must have seen the basilisk through the nearly headless Nick! Nick was caught by the basilisk's gaze Stare, but he can't die a second time
