Retirement from Hogwarts

"But Filch's cat isn't dead? It's just petrified." Hermione frowned in thought. "Is it possible that he has the blood of Medusa?"

"Stop frowning here, let's go to the scene and see."

Jacky said as Hermione rubbed her frown. After saying that, she picked up Hermione and ran towards the place where Filch's cat had an accident.

"tick~tick~"

When Jack and Hermione approached the scene of the accident, the sound of water dripping came from a distance.

When they were still around a corner from the scene of the incident, the words on the wall caught their eyes——

Those who are enemies of the heir, be vigilant.

"It turns out to be water!"

Hermione exclaimed in surprise.

"Ms. Norris didn't look directly at the basilisk. She just saw the basilisk's eyes through the water. It turned out to be like this. No wonder it wasn't killed." Hermione looked at the bloody words reflected in the water in surprise. said.

"Those who are enemies of the heir, beware." Jack stood beside the wall with blood on it and read each word. "How strange? Why did the heir deliberately leave this line? Wouldn't it be better to just hide Mrs. Norris's body and leave quietly? Why should he expose his traces for a cat? "

"What if it's to create panic?" An old voice sounded behind Jack.

"This doesn't make sense. If it's to create panic, it would obviously be more impactful to directly kill or petrify a student for the first time. The other party could have hidden Mrs. Loris's body first, making people think that Mrs. Loris died on her own. In that unknown corner. What was the purpose of leaving this line of writing?" Jack stroked the wall tile with blood written on it, frowning and thinking.

"The walls here seem different from the surrounding ones. It would be nice if there were pictures of Hogwarts decoration style." Jack said to himself.

"If you need a Hogwarts decorative style picture, I have just one right here." The voice that just asked the question said again.

"headmaster!"

"Professor Dumbledore?! When did you come?"

"I've always been here, little guy. It seems that when you were with your girlfriend, it wasn't just your hearing that deteriorated. It seems that your vision also deteriorated." Dumbledore looked at Jack jokingly and said with a smile.

"Professor!" Hermione shouted to Dumbledore with a red face.

"Although Hogwarts' economic situation is not very good, there is still enough money to lay wallpaper."

"If only the wallpaper was damaged, I'm afraid a repair spell can fix it. Why didn't the other party restore the wallpaper here?" Jack looked at Dumbledore in confusion and asked.

"The wallpaper at Hogwarts is not something that can be easily repaired with a repair spell. It is a wallpaper that is specially made to allow the characters in the portraits to pass through. It is as alive as the portraits in Hogwarts. "

"In other words, what the other party wants to hide is the fact that the wall here has been damaged." Hermione said thoughtfully, looking at the wall. "In that case, let's take a look at what's hidden under the wall. It's torn apart!"

"Boom~"

 "cough~cough~cough~"

"Cough~cough~cough~cough~Hermione, can you tell me in advance before you take action next time? Professor Dumbledore, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but you're going to suffer in the future." Dumbledore shook his head and gave Jack a meaningful look.

"I'm sorry, I get so excited... I didn't expect the walls of Hogwarts to be so weak. Professor, you won't deduct points from me, right?" Hermione said worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Isn't this for school? Let's see what's behind the wall. Clean it up."

As Dumbledore's spell fell, the smoke and dust in the air was cleared.A damp, moss-covered pipe leaked from behind the wall.

"So this is the secret that allows the heir of Slytherin to bring a basilisk around in the school? It deserves to be called the Slytherin family's castle." Looking at the thin wall in front of him, it was enough. A tube that could accommodate a train passing through it, Dumbledore sighed.

"The question isn't who owns the castle? If the basilisk's activities really require such a thick pipe, then he is at least a dangerous creature above level 18, and maybe even a legendary monster. In the entire Hogwarts, except Anyone other than Professor Dumbledore would probably have no chance of surviving if he encountered it alone." Hermione said in horror as she looked at the pipe in front of her.

"That's why I'm here, Miss Hermione Granger. But obviously, the results I got from staying here for three days are not as much as you got from staying here for 3 minutes. As expected, an old man with a rigid thinking like me Not suitable for reasoning." Dumbledore pushed up his half-moon glasses and stared at them deeply with his blue pupils.

"Professor Dumbledore, you are too humble. If it weren't for your reminder, we probably wouldn't have noticed the difference in the wallpaper. Sure enough, old age is still hotter." Jack began to flatter the principal.

"Haha, you are such a humble little guy, Mr. Jack." Dumbledore said while writing something quickly on a piece of paper.When he finished writing, he said loudly to the sky outside the window in a special voice: "Fox, please take this to the staff lounge."

With a flash of fire, the note Dumbledore had just written disappeared into his hand.After a while, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Snape and Professor Sprout rushed over.

"What's going on? Dumbledore? What trouble did these two children get into that requires us, the four deans, to come together? Do you think they are..."

"I don't think Slytherin would choose two Ravenclaws to be his heirs." Snape interrupted Professor McGonagall's speculation coldly.

"Of course it's not what you think, Minerva. They were the ones who helped discover the types of monsters in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets and helped us figure out the secret of the Slytherin heir carrying the basilisk around in the castle. I recommend adding 50 points to each of them."

"Since it's the headmaster who said it, of course we have no problem." Although Professor McGonagall was surprised, she still agreed to Dumbledore's extra points.

"In that case, it's decided. Mr. Jack and Miss Hermione each add fifty points to Ravenclaw. Okay, little guys, let us old guys do the rest. Why don't you Let's go to the Quidditch pitch and enjoy a rare Quidditch match." At this time, Dumbledore issued an eviction order.

When Jack and Hermione hurried to the pitch, the game was over.A group of people gathered around the entrance of the stadium and were arguing about something.
