Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

"He's not afraid of me, he's afraid of my father. Professor Lockhart was severely punished by my father when he was at Hogwarts."

Phoenix hurried to explain.

"Oh, I see your father and your brother often bully other little wizards, so how come you are an exception?"

"Am I that kind of person? I'm such a simple and honest person, and I'm a little socially anxious and not good at dealing with people. How could I possibly bully others?"

Phoenix said with a righteous look on his face.

Astoria nodded in agreement, but before Phoenix could get proud, she was choked by the next sentence.

"If you dare to bully other little wizards, you will be in trouble, really."

Astoria looked at Phoenix seriously.

"Bullying little wizards is so boring. Wouldn't it be nice to play with Astoria?"

Phoenix raised an eyebrow and said with a grin.

Astoria was already used to it, and although her ears were still slightly red, she wasn't blushing.

She just curled her lips and was about to say something when the commotion ahead caught the attention of two people.

I saw Harry and the other three in front of me chattering about something, as if they had discovered something extraordinary.

As for why there are four people, oh, it turns out there is one more person, Draco.

Phoenix and Astoria took a few steps forward and saw a sentence written in blood on the wall.

"The secret room has been opened, and the heir is the enemy. Be careful!"

On the mottled wall, a bright red bloodstain spread out like a strange painting, forming a creepy sentence.

Next to these shocking blood words, there was a lifeless cat hanging. Its body was stiff, as if it had lost its breath.

The whole scene exudes an eerie and terrifying atmosphere that makes people shudder.

Astoria shrank back behind Phoenix in fear, her body trembling slightly like a frightened bird.

Phoenix, on the other hand, had a frown on his face, a serious expression, and a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Has the basilisk taken action yet? It seems the situation is more serious than I thought. I must act quickly!"

Phoenix thought to himself.

At this moment, Draco also hurried over. His face was a little pale, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

He explained hastily:

"We just arrived here and saw this scene. To be honest, we don't know what happened."

Phoenix nodded, showing his understanding and trust. However, he immediately said:

"Well, I believe you. But for others... I'm afraid they won't think so."

Before he finished speaking, other little wizards passing by also discovered the abnormal situation here.

Not long after, a group of people gathered here. A wizard in the crowd suddenly read out these two sentences, and everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Harry and the other three, with a hint of something strange in their eyes.

Phoenix's heart sank as he realized things might become more difficult.

"What's going on here?"

Filch, who was patrolling the school, was attracted by the rioting crowd. He originally planned to disperse the crowd and let everyone return to the dormitory quickly.

However, when he saw the scene before him, he screamed in horror, grabbed Harry by the collar, and roared at Harry:

"You actually killed my Madam Loris. I must kill you to avenge my Madam Loris."

"Mr. Filch."

Headmaster Dumbledore and a group of professors from the back of the crowd also rushed here. They parted the crowd and walked to the front to stop Filch.

They also saw the blood on the wall. Headmaster Dumbledore frowned:

"Until the matter is clarified, we cannot conclude that Harry is the murderer."

After Headmaster Dumbledore carefully examined Mrs. Norris's condition, he turned around and said:

"Come with me, Mr. Filch, and you, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy, let's go to my office and talk."

Seeing Headmaster Dumbledore walking out, Professor Lockhart said hurriedly:

"Principal, my office is closest to here. We can go to my office."

"Okay, Gilderoy."

Headmaster Dumbledore nodded, Professor Lockhart straightened his clothes and followed, and seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the students obediently prepared to go back to the dormitory to rest.

Phoenix and Astoria were about to leave when a voice interrupted them.

At this time, Headmaster Dumbledore suddenly said:

"Mr. Malfoy, Miss Greengrass, as the second witness, please come along."

Phoenix and Astoria looked at each other and had no choice but to follow.

Astoria really believed what Headmaster Dumbledore said, but Phoenix didn't believe it. He thought it must be a lie.

But I couldn't refuse. After all, he was the principal, and a higher-ranking official could crush people with great power.

As expected, I was actually being targeted.

Phoenix: (?w? ).

After everyone entered Professor Lockhart's office, Professor Lockhart said exaggeratedly:

"Oh my! I think it must have been killed by some powerful dark magic! What a pity! If I had been there, I could have easily saved it."

Professor Lockhart looked regretful, but at this moment, the office was filled with Filch's crying, and no one cared about him bragging about himself.

"You don't know, I've experienced this kind of thing a lot! But it's a piece of cake for me, I can handle it easily every time."

He continued to chatter on, as if trying to get everyone's attention.

However, Headmaster Dumbledore was concentrating on checking Mrs. Norris's condition, while Filch was still immersed in grief and kept crying.

The other professors had serious expressions on their faces; they knew in their hearts that this matter was of great importance.

The Chamber of Secrets has been opened again, and everyone at Hogwarts is in danger of their lives.

After a long and careful observation, Headmaster Dumbledore finally spoke:

"Filch, your Mrs. Norris has not really left us. She was just hit by the petrification spell and fell into a petrified state."

This news brought relief to everyone present, especially Filch, who suddenly raised his head and looked eagerly at Headmaster Dumbledore.

However, Headmaster Dumbledore's brows were still tightly furrowed as he continued:

"But……"

His voice was full of doubt and confusion, as if he was still confused by what was happening before his eyes.

At this moment, Filch was already heartbroken and out of control.

He pointed a trembling finger at Harry and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"It's him! He must have done it!"

"He was the first to show up there, and more importantly, he knew I was a Squib!"

"The Heir of Slytherin wanted to eradicate Squibs and Muggles, so he must have killed Mrs. Norris for that reason!"

Filch's words were filled with despair and anger.

But what surprised Phoenix was that Draco stood up and retorted:

"How could it be Harry? If it was Harry, the first thing Harry should have done was to run away instead of staying to check the situation."

"Besides, do you think Harry can learn the petrification spell now? This is a spell that only senior wizards are involved in."

Phoenix looked at Draco in surprise. It seemed that Draco had changed a lot.

Harry: “It’s just a little bit sad.”

This analysis was very logical and it seemed that letting Draco contact the main characters was the right choice.

It’s much better than just yelling before. At least I’m starting to use my brain.

I just don't know how Draco was able to resolve the rift between him and Ron and Hermione.

Phoenix saw that they were now so close that they were almost like wearing the same pants.

Could it be that Draco had succeeded in getting Hermione?

At this time, Phoenix didn't know what the official match in the original work was, he only knew that Astoria smelled so good ( ^3^ )╱~~.

No, I must ask him later when Draco acquired this skill. Phoenix is ​​still very curious.

"Very clear reasoning, and I also think Harry arrived here innocently."

At this moment, Professor Snape unexpectedly agreed with Draco's defense of Harry.

However, he then said in a cold and slightly sarcastic tone:

"But can I know why our famous Mr. Potter did not attend the Halloween party? And what is the reason for his appearance here?"

Professor Snape's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the slightly relaxed atmosphere.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Harry, expecting him to give a reasonable explanation.

Harry felt the pressure around him, he took a deep breath, tried to calm his thoughts, and then replied:

"Professor, this is what happened..."

He began to explain why he came to this place, hoping to calm Professor Snape's doubts and dissatisfaction.
