Admiral of Hogwarts

"Not yet." After learning that Hood could remove the petrification magic from Ginger, Hugo and Veneto stopped her almost at the same time.

The reason for this stoppage is also very simple, because when a basilisk starts wandering around the castle, it is not a bad thing for a cat to be petrified, because it can make everyone vigilant.

More importantly, the operator of the basilisk should have also seen the scene where Ginger was petrified. If Ginger is allowed to recover now, it will easily arouse the opponent's vigilance, and it will be inexplicably more difficult to catch the opponent. .

"By the way, did Jiang Jiang see the controller's face at that time?" After caring about Jiang Jiang's safety, Hugo immediately asked Hood.

After all, Ginger is no ordinary cat. Everything he sees can be passed on to his owner, Hood.

"No, it only saw the snake." Hood said helplessly.

The reason for this situation is also very simple, because the basilisk is so large that it can easily cover the operator's figure.

More importantly, this time the manipulator did not hang the ginger on the wall like he did to Mrs. Lorris last time. Instead, he petrified it and hurriedly left the scene of the attack with the basilisk.

"What's wrong with you?" Just as Hugo was thinking about the problem, Hermione suddenly stopped and said to him. At this time, Hugo realized that he was behind Hagrid and the others because he was busy inquiring about the news with the ship girls.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about Hagrid-" Hugo took two steps up the stairs and said, but before he could finish his words, Peeves' loud and somewhat sharp voice suddenly sounded. The whole castle.

"Do it! Do it! Do it again! No matter whether it is a cat or a ghost, you are not immune! Run for your life! Do it! Do it! Do it!"

Boom--boom--boom--: The doors in the corridor were pushed open one after another, and people poured out. From the top of the stairs came the sound of chaotic footsteps and various voices.

After Hugo and the others followed the sound upstairs, they found that the corner of the corridor on the fifth floor was now full of people, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

And in the center of the crowd, the almost headless Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor, lay motionless, suspended six inches above the ground.

He was no longer milky white and transparent, but became black and smoky. Half of his head was missing, and there was a look of horror on his face. At his feet, a somewhat rounded-looking orange tabby cat statue stood there motionless.

"No, Ginger -" Hugo and the others successfully squeezed to the front of the crowd as Hagrid opened the way. Then, Hermione immediately saw the figure standing there quietly, looking like a statue. Statuesque ginger.

For Hermione, this very humane pet cat brought a lot of fun to her campus life. So now after seeing his cat being petrified, he directly stepped forward and hugged his cat.

"Let me, let me -" Professor McGonagall ran all the way, followed by the students in her class, one of whom still had black and white hair.

After arriving here, she made a loud noise with her wand, and everyone suddenly became quiet. Then she ordered everyone to return to their classrooms.

Soon, everyone left the corridor. Apart from Harry, Hugo and the others were the only ones left at the scene who were related to the incident.

But just when the people were almost dispersed. Hufflepuff's Ernie rushed to the scene out of breath. At the same time, his face turned pale, and he pointed his finger at Harry and shouted loudly. "Caught in the act!"

"That's enough, Ernie!" Professor McGonagall said sternly. Peeves floated overhead, looking down at the whole scene. At this time, he grinned with a wicked smile.

When the teachers bent over to examine Ginger and Nearly Headless Nick, Peeves suddenly sang: Oh, Potter, you nasty ghost, look at the good things you did, you killed all the ghosts, you feel weird interesting--

"Stop it, Peeves!" Professor McGonagall yelled. Peeves stuck out his tongue at the people below and backed away quickly.

Soon, under the arrangement of Professor McGonagall. Hermione hugged his cat and Hugo, who fanned the almost headless Nick with a large fan conjured by Professor McGonagall, walked towards the school hospital under the protection of Veneto and Hagrid. Harry and Professor McGonagall walked towards the principal's office.

"I think I roughly know why the other party ran away in a hurry after attacking Ginger this time." On the way to the hospital together, Veneto said to Hugo through the Admiral Network.

"Because the ghost was also attacked at that time, and there were some classrooms nearby at that time, the attacker fled the battlefield as quickly as possible for fear of being discovered."

"What you said makes sense." Hugo replied through the same channel. "The only regret is that Jiang didn't see the attacker this time. Otherwise, it would be much easier for us to deal with some things next."

The reason why Hugo said this is very simple, because the biggest threat to him now is the missing notebook, not the basilisk.

At least knowing the basilisk's lair, Veneto assured Hugo that he could easily kill the huge basilisk as long as he and Firefly teamed up.

But killing the basilisk without figuring out the unknown Horcrux in Voldemort's notebook will only make Voldemort hide deeper, and there may even be a bad possibility of two Voldemorts.

"Who do you think the attacker was this time?" Hermione asked Hugo and the others while holding her cat while going upstairs. "I've never heard of any magic that can harm those ghosts."

"It shouldn't be Harry." Hugo said, "This level of petrification magic is definitely not something that a second-year student can cast. He is more like an unlucky guy, or -"

"Maybe he is the target of the attack." Hermione pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose with her index finger. "This can also explain why he is always the first to appear at the scene of the accident."

"Obviously, it's possible that the attacker was just trying to kill Harry, but each time I failed because I encountered other people before launching the attack."

"It should - it shouldn't be that bad." After listening to the conversation between Hugo and Hermione, Hagrid had a look of panic on his face. "Why would anyone attack Harry?"

"I think there may be many people who want to attack Harry." After her thoughts turned to this direction, Hermione quickly summed up a reasonable explanation.

"For us, even most people in the British wizarding community, Harry ended a dark era. But for a certain group of people, the opposite is true."

After lifting the cat that was about to slip out of her hands and hugging it tightly, Hermione expressed her judgment.

"If you think about it, those dark wizards or children of dark wizards must have hatred for Harry. Because it is precisely because of his existence that he ended the era when dark wizards could do whatever they wanted."

"This -" Hagrid's face suddenly turned pale, and after they handed all the petrified people to Madam Pomfrey's care, Hagrid immediately said goodbye to Hugo and the others in a hurry and left the school hospital.
