Hogwarts: The Savior's Strong Cousin

Not to mention that the whole spider family was busy changing nests, Dudley and his friends returned to the dormitory safely.

There were still some minor incidents along the way. Dudley was too lazy to put on the invisibility cloak, so he just walked in the corridor. He met Filch on the way. Harry and Ron were scared to death. After all, this abominable administrator had been in a bad mood recently. Many students were put in detention for trivial matters. Even the Weasley twins' frequency of causing trouble had decreased a lot.

However, when he saw Dudley, Filch actually forced a smile on his face.

"Hurry up and leave, be careful that the attacker will come to trouble you again."

The two teenagers were stunned when they heard what Filch told Dudley.

Is this still the perverted administrator?

He's totally an old man!

The two of them even stood there and chatted about Filch's recent progress in the correspondence course in spellcasting. Filch even showed off his own learning results - he turned a passing rice-sized spider into a soybean, and then said goodbye reluctantly.

"It seems that the mantra-chanting crash course is really useful."

Dudley sighed as he and the two returned to his dorm.

After calming themselves down, the three of them quickly decided on their next target: Moaning Myrtle.

After all, the only person who died in the bathroom, who was recorded and known to everyone, was this diving ghost.

But before that, they should go and check on Hermione's condition.

After waking up, they dealt with Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class. The three of them were very absent-minded and almost caused Gryffindor to be deducted five points - fortunately Dudley was quick-witted and just said that it was because he missed Miss Granger and the petrified classmates, and he even squeezed out two tears when he was excited. This saved them from the points deduction and also gave them a nice temporary vacation - they were allowed by Professor McGonagall to visit Hermione in the school hospital.

Of course, the class that was originally to follow this one was Defense Against the Dark Arts, but the professor had now turned into a fool - although he was almost the same as before, or even more polite, so there was naturally no need to continue with the class, and Professor Binns' History of Magic class started earlier.

"Can you see Professor McGonagall's eyes? She looks like she's about to cry."

Ron walked while talking about his recent discovery.

"Professor McGonagall is also a lonely person."

Dudley sighed quietly, and simply held the two men under his ribs and trotted off. Harry and Ron's hair were blown messy by the strong wind.

"...it was hatched from a rooster's egg by a toad."

"The basilisk's killing method is very shocking. In addition to its deadly fangs, its stare can also kill people. Anyone who is stared at by it will die immediately."

"When a spider sees a basilisk, it will run away because it is the spider's mortal enemy; and once a basilisk hears the crowing of a rooster, it will immediately flee in panic because the crowing of a rooster is also fatal to it."

Harry found the note from Hermione's clenched hands - of course, it was Dudley who held Hermione's hands to his chest, so Harry was able to "discover" the note.

The savior's sudden inspiration finally revealed the final answer.

"The monster in the secret room is the basilisk!"

"Because I can understand Parseltongue, so I can hear this voice wherever I go!"

Ron and Dudley, who were still wondering how roosters laid eggs, were stunned.

In this way, the basic truth of the incident finally surfaced.

Of course, the Basilisk's gaze was still deadly, but luckily, none of the unfortunates at Hogwarts died.

Colin through the camera, Justin through Sir Nick's transparent body, and Mrs. Norris through the reflection of the water in the bathroom.

As for Hermione and the Ravenclaw girl, they encountered the basilisk through the small mirror.

As for Nearly Headless Nick… could the ghost die again?

Fortunately, several people managed to save their lives. After all, according to Dudley's understanding, the gaze of the basilisk can only kill "living things that look directly into its eyes". As for those who see it through other means, they can only be petrified. After being petrified, even if the basilisk coils in the same place and stares at it for a day, there is no danger to life.

The three of them looked at each other and realized that their judgment was correct.

However, the three people who had just slipped into the staff lounge and wanted to run to the girls' bathroom when the bell rang, heard Professor McGonagall's serious and cold announcement echoing in the corridor.

"All students, return to your respective college's common room immediately."

"All teachers, return to the staff room and take immediate action."

Soon, the corridor returned to silence after the noise, and the staff lounge was filled with teachers with different expressions.

"A student was directly abducted by the monster and taken directly into the secret room."

Professor Flitwick uttered a scream.

Professor Sprout covered his mouth tightly.

Snape's expression was extremely solemn, and he tightly grasped the back of the chair in front of him.

"The heir of Slytherin left another line of words, just below the last paragraph."

"It says...her remains will remain in the secret room forever."

Professor McGonagall's face turned pale, and Madam Hooch, the flying teacher, felt her legs go limp and she slumped in her chair.

"It's...who is it?"

"Ginny Weasley."

After Professor McGonagall's voice, Ron collapsed into the wardrobe. When the two doors opened, three people rolled out at once.

"Sorry, the closet is too small to fit me."

Dudley nodded and bowed repeatedly, ignoring the teachers' extremely surprised looks, he picked up Ron and helped him sit on a chair.

"No...how could it be Ginny...it shouldn't be her..."

Ron held his head, trembling and mumbling to himself.

Harry was getting anxious. He took two heavy breaths and was about to rush out of the common room.

"Potter! Students are not allowed to act on their own!"

As soon as Professor McGonagall stretched out her hand, Harry seemed to be stuck by invisible glue and couldn't move.

"That's my sister! The only girl in our Weasley family!"

Ron tried hard not to cry, but Snape held his shoulders tightly.

"I know you are feeling very uncomfortable now, but the current situation is very dangerous..."

"We must have a powerful wizard in charge..."

Professor McGonagall controlled her emotions to prevent her tears from falling.

Dumbledore was away, and as the temporary acting headmaster, she had no idea about the matter from beginning to end. Minerva McGonagall had never hated her own powerlessness so much.

Just like she had witnessed her parents' tragic marriage and rejected her first love.

"Then it has to be me."

A defiant voice sounded, and the teachers couldn't help but look back. Dudley was slowly taking off his robe with a confident smile, revealing his rolled-up shirt cuffs and the dark brown vest underneath.

It was a Christmas gift Hermione had knitted for him.
