Save the world from Hogwarts

"tatter"

Lin Zhen suddenly heard a slight sound of insects crawling.He looked towards the source of the sound and saw a group of fluffy spiders crawling out of the window sill one by one and disappearing out of the window.

It’s strange that spiders don’t have the habit of migrating.

Lin Zhen looked at the gradually darkening window, lowering her head and thinking.Snape stood behind him, watching his surroundings warily.

"Kill kill kill"

Suddenly, a low and hoarse voice came from Lin Zhen's ears.The sound was extremely quiet, and if not all the students in the castle were escorted back to the lounge by the professors at this time, they might not have been able to hear it.

Lin Zhen raised her head suddenly, and her whole body became tense.This murderous content made him feel a little bit of danger.

Snape saw Lin Zhen's vigilance, quickly took out the wand from his robe, moved slightly, and stood back to back with Lin Zhen.

"Did you hear that?" Lin Zhen's voice was no louder than a whisper.

"What?" Snape asked strangely, "I didn't hear anything."

Lin Zhen looked around alertly, holding her wand in her left hand, putting her right hand into her robe, and holding the pistol she carried with her.

"death death"

The strange hissing sound appeared again.Only this time, it appeared at the other end of the corridor and moved quickly, as if the creature that made the sound was quickly leaving the corridor.

Lin Zhen followed cautiously, and Snape observed the surroundings and followed cautiously.

But the sound disappeared.

Lin Zhen stopped, still holding the wand tightly in her hand.

"Go back to your office first." Lin Zhen said seriously.

Without saying a word, Snape took Lin Zhen back to the cellar.

"Just now, didn't you hear anything?" Lin Zhen unceremoniously sat on the sofa in front of the fireplace and watched Snape lock the office door and cast an anti-eavesdropping spell.

"No." Snape sat on the sofa next to Lin Zhen, his back straight.

Lin Zhen stared at the firewood piled in the fireplace and touched her chin: "Not long after I saw spiders lining up to climb out of the castle on the window sill, I heard something talking."

Snape stroked the wand in his hand: "What are you talking about?"

"It's like killing and dying, and the sound is moving," Lin Zhen frowned slightly, "I think that thing is near the corridor where we are staying. Maybe he will become invisible."

"No," before Snape could say anything, Lin Zhen immediately denied her speculation, "I think this creature, whether it is a human or something else, should be the culprit that turned Draco and the others to stone. He has no reason. They don’t show up when they meet us.”

Snape watched in silence as Lin Zhen sat there talking to herself.

"Hermione didn't seem to have any obvious changes in her expression when she was petrified," Lin Zhen spoke faster and faster, "It shows that she was petrified in a very short period of time and she didn't even have time to react."

Lin Zhen stood up from the sofa and walked back and forth in front of the fireplace, "When Draco and Ron had the accident, their expressions were very surprised, both surprised and frightened, indicating that the creature was unusual and even a little scary. ."

Lin Zhen's pace quickened: "Hermione said that on the night of Mrs. Norris's accident, Gilderoy Lockhart heard something, but she didn't. It was exactly the same as the two of us. What could make such a sound? "Special"

Lin Zhen's brows were frowned tightly, and a small hill seemed to bulge between her brows.

"Perhaps," Snape said slowly, in a low voice, "it's the sound of snakes."

Lin Zhen's green eyes suddenly burst into bright light, and he slapped his head hard: "Yes, snake. Assuming Gilderoy Lockhart is also a Parselmouth, then this can explain it quite clearly."

He threw himself into the sofa: "Then the creature we didn't see tonight may be a snake. It can move quickly near the corridor, but we can't see it, maybe because it is in the wall of the corridor."

"Severus" Lin Zhen turned to look at Snape, "Is there any snake that can turn people into stone?"

"Why do you want to solve it yourself?" Snape looked disapproving, "I don't remember any snakes with such ability."

"I also want to solve it myself, if I can." Lin Zhen said seriously, "But now I am more concerned about what kind of snake it is and who put it in the castle."

Lin Zhen narrowed her beautiful emerald eyes, and a murderous look flashed across her face: "If I know who it is, I want him to experience fear."

"Do you have any idea?" Snape asked.

"I want to find out first what kind of snake it is," Lin Zhen put away her wand, "As for who it is?"

Lin Zhen stood up, patted the non-existent dust on her body, and raised the corner of her mouth: "Don't worry, you will always know."

Snape stared at him blankly, as if he was meeting the boy in front of him for the first time.Ever since the boy entered school, he had only shown his obedient and sensible side, and occasionally showed his strength in front of him. But tonight, he saw the suppressed murderous aura from the boy, as well as the boy's The ferocity hidden in his eyes.

Is it because something happened to a friend?

Snape watched Lin Zhen walk out of his office and then disappeared from his sight.

Ah, I forgot to have dinner. After Lin Zhen returned to the dormitory, she remembered that she was only focusing on the investigation and did not have dinner.

He tried calling the house elf, and with a pop, Clay appeared in front of him.

"Dear Harry Potter, what can I do for Clay?" Clay leaned forward and saluted, his long nose almost touching the floor.

Lin Zhen asked Clay for some food, and Clay quickly delivered it.

"Wait a minute." Just when Clay was about to leave, Lin Zhen called him.

"Well, I have a little question to ask you." Lin Zhen's expression was a little tangled. He was not sure about the knowledge of house elves, but he always felt that he needed to try, "What do you know about snakes?" Can you turn people to stone?”

Clay looked frightened. His big eyes were as wide as copper bells. He covered his mouth and took a few steps back: "That is a very evil creature."

Lin Zhen felt his whole body light up, and he eagerly bent over: "What is it?"

Creba blinked his big eyes. He saw the light in Lin Zhen's eyes. He lowered his hand covering his mouth and whispered: "It's a basilisk, Mr. Harry Potter."

"The Basilisk" Lin Zhen carefully recalled the books he had read, "Is it the Basilisk that hatched from a toad's egg?"

Clay nodded slightly.

"If I remember correctly," Lin Zhen pondered, "looking directly into the eyes of the basilisk will kill you immediately. Then Hermione and the others may have seen the basilisk through an object."

Clay said nothing.

"Clay," Lin Zhen squatted down so that she and Clay were at the same height, "I think I need your help."
