Howl's Moving Castle and Hogwarts Castle

"Can you find the answer by following the spider..." Ji Xing muttered to himself, it was early in the morning, and Dobby appeared as soon as he got up, and told him everything that happened in Hagrid's cabin last night, Ji Xing After listening to it, he has been very strange. He was at the scene when the first petrification incident happened, but he saw spiders walking out in a line.

But what exactly does the spider's strange behavior represent?

"Could it be..." Ji Xing suddenly remembered something. If the spider ran away because of fear, it would make sense.Ji Xing jumped up, he wanted to go to the library to look up information, but soon Ji Xing gave up dejectedly again, he remembered that now the whole school is on alert, he can't act alone at all.

"That's right!" Ji Xing looked at Dobby, "Dobby, go to the library and help me find a book... well, find a book about magical creatures, and remember not to let anyone find out!"

"Good little master!" Dobby said and went to the library.

Seeing that Dobby was gone, Ji Xing temporarily put the matter aside, because he had to go downstairs immediately, or Draco would rush to find him.

At the dining table, the golden eagle of Draco's family brought him a large pile of sweets made by Narcissa, and a note.After reading the letter, Draco had joy and excitement on his face, as well as an unconcealable elation.

"Guess—" Draco said in a long voice to those sitting around him, "why Dumbledore didn't show up at the dinner table."

"Maybe there is some 'major' event that needs him to deal with. Isn't Dumbledore often absent?" Pansy said indifferently, Dumbledore sometimes even did not appear in the teacher's seat for several weeks. It's just that he's been there every time because of the attack recently.

"I guess Draco has something to say, don't you?" Blaise said. He knew Draco's temperament very well, and it couldn't be so simple to see his smug face.

Ji Xing focused on eating breakfast and didn't speak. Of course he knew what was going on.

"My father and twelve other directors signed, Dumbledore was expelled from the school!" Draco announced triumphantly, he looked around with satisfaction and heard the students all looked at him with surprised eyes, Of course, Draco didn't make a fool of himself and speak loudly, otherwise it wouldn't be a good thing for the students in the nearby academy to hear.

"Because of the attack?" Blaise said. After the attack, the school received many complaints, but Dumbledore's reputation has always been very high. "I don't think Dumbledore will be kicked out so easily."

"But the fact is that he has been dismissed!" Draco was a little dissatisfied with Blaise's cold water.

Seeing this, Blaise didn't argue with Draco any more, and the matter was over like this.

Throughout the whole process, Ji Xing did not make any speeches. He also felt that Dumbledore would not be kicked out so easily. What's more, according to what he read in the book, every headmaster had to sign a magic contract with the school. The school did not To drive Dumbledore out, the signature of the school manager is probably useless.

Time passed quickly, and Ji Xing also found out his doubts from the book Dobby got. There is a passage in the book that reads:

There are many terrible beasts and monsters roaming in our country, the most bizarre and lethal of them is the basilisk, also known as the king of snakes.The snake, which can become very large and often live for hundreds of years, is hatched from a rooster's egg by a toad.The way it kills is astonishing. In addition to its deadly fangs, the stare of the basilisk can also cause death. Anyone caught by its gaze will die instantly.The spider will run away when it sees the basilisk, because the basilisk is the deadly enemy of the spider, and the basilisk will only flee for its life when it hears the crowing of the rooster, because the crowing of the rooster is also fatal to it.

The strangest thing is that in the first book Dobby brought, this page happened to be torn off, and Ji Xing asked Dobby to take the second book to find the information.

Now, Ji Xing finally figured out some things, such as how the people who were attacked were petrified, why the spiders behaved so strangely, and he overheard Hagrid's complaint about why the rooster was always being killed.But Ji Xing still doesn't understand who opened the secret room and where the entrance to the secret room is.

And one morning a few days later, Dobby brought new news.Just last night, Harry and Ron broke into the Forbidden Forest.

"Harry and his good friend Weasley broke into the Forbidden Forest!" Dobby said loudly, and he followed Harry all the way yesterday. "Following the spider's route, they found Aragog all the way"

"Aragok" Ji Xing said strangely.

"It's Hagrid's eight-eyed spider! He said that Hagrid was kicked out of school 50 years ago because it was considered a monster in the Chamber of Secrets!" Dobby described what happened last night, "It said that the dead girl's body It was found in a bathroom. And it's nothing but..."

"What?" Ji Xing interrupted Dobby, "Where was the murdered girl found?"

"—a bathroom, young master!" cried Dobby.

As for the bathroom... Ji Xing recalled that the location of these incidents was right next to the bathroom. "Anything else?"

"Aragok said it couldn't name that monster!" Dobby yelled angrily, "How dare it let its offspring eat Harry!"

Ji Xing didn't listen to Dobby, because it kept talking about how excessive Aragog was, and how great Harry was.Ji Xing got up and tidied himself up, picked up his textbooks, "Dobby, you don't have to follow Harry and the others, um... you'll be the same as before." After finishing speaking, he went out to find Draco for breakfast.

Although he knew so many clues, Ji Xing failed to continue the investigation, not only because he could not act alone now, but also because Professor McGonagall announced that the final exam would be one week away!

"What, what?" Ji Xing asked in surprise, "There is still an exam?" You know, although Ji Xing studies well, he has never taken an exam. Ji Xing is completely unfamiliar.

"Of course there is an exam," Draco said. "Your grades are said to be good? Why panic?"

"But I haven't taken the exam!" Ji Xing said anxiously, "Draco, you need to help me revise!"

"It's nothing difficult——" Draco wanted to refuse at first, but when he saw Ji Xing looking at him with pitiful expectant eyes, he changed his words somehow, "...I will help you draw the key points come out."

"Draco, you're so kind!" Ji Xing called Draco impulsively, gave him a hug, and then left his seat to find Giles. He needed to go to Giles to discuss the exam review.
