Exchange student at Hogwarts

"You will feel a little shocked," Professor McGonagall took Harry and Ron directly to the campus hospital. Professor McGonagall said in a surprisingly gentle voice, "Another attack occurred, and it was a double attack."

Harry's internal organs were churning violently. Professor McGonagall pushed the door open and Harry and Ron walked in.

"Hermione" Harry stared blankly at the girl lying on the hospital bed who had just been separated from him for less than ten minutes.

"What, what's going on? Zhang, is it you?" Ron stammered and looked at the man sitting on a hospital bed next to him, who was tied up like a mummy. He recognized it from the shoes exposed under the mummy. Zhang Chen.

"Hermione and I saw the monster's glasses through the mirror, and he was petrified." Zhang Chen's voice seemed to come from hell, and you could hear the feeling of gritting his back teeth with difficulty and barely making a hissing sound. "He also wanted to hurt Hermione. Damn it. He just petrified my skin and I broke away. But that monster ran very fast. As soon as I turned around, it disappeared. But it doesn't matter. This proves that Hermione and I are My guess is right, little boy, he can’t escape. Grass, growing epidermis really hurts.”

"What's going on?" Harry heard Zhang Chen confirm his suspicion, and his curiosity could no longer be suppressed.

"There are many people at the moment, so you go back first. It's definitely not Hagrid anyway. I'll go back to the dormitory to talk to you in detail tomorrow night. It will probably take Zhang Poupi all night." Zhang Chen thought for a while and didn't say too much in the school hospital. .

"Okay, let's go back first."

When they returned to the Gryffindor lounge, Professor McGonagall was talking to everyone, "All students must return to the common room of their own house before six o'clock in the evening. No student is allowed to leave the dormitory building after this time. Every time Classes are escorted by a teacher. No student is allowed to use the restrooms without a teacher. All Quidditch practices and matches are postponed. There will be no activities in the evenings."

The Gryffindors huddled in the common room in silence. Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment file she had just read, and then said in a somewhat strangled voice: "In fact, needless to say, I have rarely been in such pain before. The school will probably be closed unless these attacks are planned. of criminals were caught. I urge everyone who thinks they know something to come forward."

She crawled awkwardly through the portrait hole, and the Gryffindors immediately started chirping. "Two Gryffindors have already fallen, not counting the ghost of Gryffindor, there is also a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff." Lee Jordan, a friend of the Weasley twins, said. Counting on his fingers, "Has any teacher noticed that the Slytherins are all safe and sound? Isn't it obvious that these things come from Slytherin? The heir of Slytherin, the monster of Slytherin, why don't they Just kick out all the Slytherins," he shouted, and the audience nodded and applauded sparsely.

But Harry wasn't listening. He couldn't seem to shake the sight of Hermione lying in the hospital bed, as stiff as stone. If the culprit is not caught soon, he will return to the Dursleys for the rest of his life. Tom Riddle wanted to report Hagrid because he faced the prospect of returning to a Muggle orphanage once the school closed. Harry now understood exactly how he felt.

"What should we do?" Ron asked quietly in Harry's ear, "Do you think they suspect Hagrid?" "We have to go talk to him," Harry made up his mind and said, "I can't I believe it was him this time, and I also trust the judgment of Zhang and Hermione. But since he released the monster last time, he must know how to enter the secret room, and this is a breakthrough point."

"But Professor McGonagall said we must stay in the castle except in classrooms." "I think," said Harry, his voice softer, "that it's time to get out my dad's old robes again." .”

Harry inherited only one thing from his father: a long, shining silver invisibility cloak. They relied on it if they wanted to sneak out of school to visit Hagrid without being noticed.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Chen managed to regain his skin. He came out of the hospital and went straight to the dormitory to find Harry and Ron.

"What, Dumbledore is gone" Zhang Chen was shocked, "Hagrid is gone too" The strongest wizard in the world is like this. The signature resolution of a few directors can make him feel like Hogwarts. Zhang Chen feels like himself. 's thinking has been subverted.

"He said to me before leaving: Only when everyone here betrays me will I really leave this school. At Hogwarts, those who ask for help will always get it." Ha. Li Lao honestly told Zhang Chen everything he knew. The events that happened one after another really made him feel at a loss.

"Let's not study these for now. We have to go to the Forbidden Forest quickly. I will tell you slowly on the way." Zhang Chen felt that time was pressing and urged Harry to put on the invisibility cloak and take him and Ron to Hagrid. Go to the hut.

"The monster that lives in Hogwarts is the basilisk." Zhang Chen said as he took out a piece of paper, obviously torn from a book in the library. "This kind of snake can become very huge. Usually living for hundreds of years, it is hatched from a male egg by a toad. The way it kills is very shocking. In addition to its deadly fangs, the basilisk's glare can also kill anyone. As long as you are stared at by its gaze, you will die immediately. The spider will run away when it sees the basilisk, because the basilisk is the deadly enemy of spiders, and the basilisk will only run for its life when it hears the crowing of the rooster, because the crowing of the rooster is harmful to the spider. It's also fatal."

"How did the huge basilisk wander around in Hogwarts?" Harry asked the key question.

"Ventilation duct." Zhang Chen's answer was like a bolt of lightning that lit up Harry's heart.

"No wonder I can hear that voice everywhere I go, but no one else can. Because I can understand Parseltongue."

"Yes, it was because of this clue that Hermione and I came up with the idea of ​​the basilisk."

"Whoever the basilisk looks at will die. But no one here died, because none of them looked directly at it. Colin saw it through the camera, and the basilisk took all the film in the camera. It was burned, but Colin was just petrified. As for Justin, Justin must have seen the basilisk through the almost headless Nick. Nick was stared at by the basilisk, but he could not die again. The second time, Hermione and Chang went through the mirror."

"What about Mrs. Norris?" Ron asked about the first victim.

"Water, it's water," Harry said slowly, trying to recall the details of Halloween night, "that puddle of water that came out of Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. I dare say Mrs. Norris just saw the water in the water." Reflection.”

"Then let's go find this monster or the professors quickly. Why are we going to the Forbidden Forest?" Ron had an inexplicable fear of the Forbidden Forest.

"We have to find that big spider. The basilisk is the mortal enemy of spiders. When I was taking herbal medicine class recently, I observed that the spiders in the castle were running into the Forbidden Forest. The big spider raised by Hagrid must be there. There. It can sense the danger of the basilisk, and it must know where the entrance to the secret room is. Even if there is no entrance to the secret room, it will be useless to find the teachers."

While they were talking, they had already arrived at Hagrid's hut next to the Forbidden Forest. They went around to the back of the house and opened the chain of Hagrid's pet Fang. "Follow Yaya, he knows where the spider is."
