As soon as Tom Riddle left, Professor McGonagall heard the noise and hurried over.
She looked at the classroom door that had been damaged by the basilisk with a face full of shock. Her eyes followed the two torn knight armors beside the door and landed on the severely damaged tables and chairs.
There seems to be something inside?
Professor McGonagall held her wand in her hand, ready to fight at any time.
When she stepped on the door panel and walked into the classroom, her pupils dilated slightly. She looked at the roosters scurrying around in the classroom and murmured in disbelief, "What on earth happened here!"
"An attack?"
Professor McGonagall looked at the group of roosters in the classroom again and said to herself: "No matter how you look at it, this thing is weird."
She raised her wand and chanted softly, and three silver cats popped out from the tip of the wand. The three patron saints ran forward quickly and disappeared at the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.
If Albert were here, he would probably be happy to discuss the advanced use of the Patronus Charm with Professor McGonagall.
A few minutes later, Professor Snape was the first to arrive. His face was slightly pale, and he quickly glanced at the messy classroom, then returned his gaze to Professor McGonagall and said, "Have you noticed the heir of Slytherin?
Another line of words was left."
"what have you found?"
Professor McGonagall had a bad feeling in her heart when she heard what Snape said.
"Just below the last paragraph, it says: Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever." Snape said hoarsely.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips tightly, trying to look as strong as possible.
"Another attack. When I came, I saw the fat monk was petrified." Professor Sprout came in a hurry. When she saw the messy classroom, she couldn't help but froze. She looked up at her two colleagues and asked:
"What happened here and what happened to those roosters."
"A student was kidnapped by a monster and taken directly into the Chamber of Secrets." Snape explained.
"who is it."
Professor Flitwick asked sharply when he heard the bad news as soon as he arrived.
Snape noticed that the other professors were staring at him, so he had to say again, "Under the words last time, it was written: Her bones will remain in the secret room forever."
"Which student is it?" Professor Sprout covered his mouth to prevent himself from crying.
"I don't know." Professor Snape shook his head.
"What's going on here?" Professor Flitwick asked, looking at the classroom.
"I heard a loud noise in the office just now, and it was already like this when I rushed over." Professor McGonagall was still confused.
"All the roosters here are real, not magic!" Professor Flitwick screamed. He had just made the roosters in the classroom disappear, but found that the spell failed.
"Hagrid's cock?"
"Probably not."
"This whole thing is weird." Snape looked at the group of roosters in the classroom and felt that there must be some special reason for the group of roosters to appear here.
"No matter what, we must first find out who was kidnapped by the monster, and then...send all the remaining students home tomorrow." Professor McGonagall immediately made follow-up arrangements, "Severus, Fili
Us, please go to the library and send all the students staying there back to their respective common rooms."
"It's best to inform Lockhart. He swore to me a few days ago that he knew the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets and what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets was. If any students are really kidnapped by monsters, I think we need his help now." Snee.
Pu did not forget to remind Professor McGonagall of this matter.
"Okay Severus, please go and notify Lockhart, tell him what's going on here, and let Lockhart go and deal with the monster." Professor McGonagall turned her head and said, "Pomona, you go.
Inform other professors and I will make the ghosts move to ensure that no students remain outside the dormitory. We must first find out whether any students are really abducted by monsters."
While the professors at Hogwarts were busy dealing with the attack, Albert, one of the culprits of the whole incident, had just come out of the Room of Requirement, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Just a few minutes ago, Albert witnessed with his own eyes the ink dot marked Ginny Weasley completely disappeared into the abandoned girls' bathroom on the second floor of the castle.
After Tom Riddle was forced to take Ginny Weasley into the Chamber of Secrets, most of Albert's previous preparations were completed.
Kill the basilisk, destroy the diary, save Ginny Weasley?
No, no, that is the mission of the savior Harry Potter and has nothing to do with him, Albert Anderson.
Albert has been preparing for more than half a year, just to complete a large number of secret room-related tasks piled up in the task panel while ensuring his own life safety.
Uncovering the real culprit behind the attack is more for your own safety, and there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days.
As for clearing Hagrid's grievances and restoring his reputation, it was just a matter of giving him a hand.
After all, we are all good friends, so if you can help me, I will help you.
Afterwards, you can get a lot of invisible benefits.
For example, the right to speak. If no one will despise Albert because he is underage, if he wants to deceive him in the future... ahem, he will be able to better convince others in the future and use his ability as a magician...a prophet.
However, if you want to complete the panel task and get the benefits, you must first find out the real culprit and put the cruel facts in the light.
Albert never expected to be able to convince any professor of his own words.
It is necessary for Tom Riddle to jump out and prove that he is the real culprit of the attack.
Therefore, Albert spent a lot of time and energy gradually "guiding" Tom Riddle to carry out this thrilling attack and expose himself.
Of course, after spending so much energy, in addition to completing the previously accumulated tasks, Albert added two new tasks with rich rewards on the task panel.
They are "The Basilisk Must Die", which requires the killing of the basilisk, and "Tom's Wrath", which stirs up Tom's emotions. It is worth mentioning that "Tom's Wrath" has been completed.
Albert was rewarded with the freedom to choose a skill from Tom Riddle again, which was simply a pleasure.
The rewards in "The Wrath of Tom" are richer than those in most missions. Voldemort is a treasure boy, and he has a lot of good things. Albert has benefited a lot from the spell-casting skills he got from collecting wool last time, and he is looking forward to it.
For this harvest, it’s best to gain some proficiency skills.
As for Tom Riddle, who became the final loser, the most fundamental reason was due to underestimation of the enemy and misjudgment, otherwise Albert would not have been able to achieve his goal easily.
Especially when the basilisk made a noise in the classroom and Albert slipped away from his eyes, Tom lost all his pants, and he did so without knowing it.
When Tom Riddle recovers from his anger, he will find that he has no better choice.
As a party to the attack, he did not kill or petrify Albert, which meant that it was no longer safe to stay in the castle.
After all, he could be identified at any time, even without evidence.
What the victim said is the best evidence.
What's more, Albert really has no evidence?
Of course he does, and there's a lot of evidence.
Therefore, for Tom, taking Ginny into the secret room to buy himself enough time is his last choice.
He needed time to inject all of Ginny's life force into the diary, so that he could completely separate himself from the diary and "resurrection" again.
All of Tom's original arrangements were completely disrupted by this attack.
What made Tom even more distressed was that all of this was the conspiracy of the Muggle wizard named Albert Anderson, and yet he allowed him to slip away from him with such arrogance, which was an unprecedented humiliation for Voldemort.
If Tom Riddle knew that he had achieved the result that Albert most expected, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would run out of the secret room and fight with Albert.
From the beginning, Albert had no intention of catching the heir of Slytherin. As long as the professors knew the cruel fact that "Ginny was kidnapped into the secret room by a monster", they would have to accept what Albert would bring them next.
The "good news" is not the unwillingness to believe Albert's words, or not to take his words seriously.
This is a kind of prejudice among wizards. Young wizards and wizards will only be respected when they reach adulthood.
Instead of thinking that they are... being naughty or talking nonsense.
Albert knew this very well.
Among those old friends who were willing to communicate with him on an equal footing and invited him to attend academic gatherings, who was not forced to ignore Albert's age and agree with him after being beaten up by Albert with the knowledge on the panel?
Te has already stood on the same level as them.
After leaving the Room of Requirement, Albert was about to return to the common room. He had no intention of going to Professor McGonagall right now and telling him what he knew.
Before it is confirmed that a student is missing, any excuse will only attract unnecessary suspicion to yourself.
To use the words from the movie of my previous life: let the bullets fly for a while.
Albert was very calm, he was not the one who was anxious anyway.
Having said that, the wave of hatred he brought to Lockhart was really solid. Before entering the Chamber of Secrets, Tom Riddle actually stopped by the Defense Against the Dark Arts office to trouble Lockhart.
What surprised Albert the most was that after Tom Riddle left the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, the ink dot representing Lockhart on the Marauder's Map did not disappear directly.
Tom actually hit Lockhart with Avada Kedavra without pulling out his wand.
Although he didn't know what Tom Riddle did in the ten seconds he entered Lockhart's office, Albert knew that Tom would never let Lockhart go easily.
well!
The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's curse is so terrible. I hope the Lockharts are okay.
Albert didn't feel any burden at all for cheating Lockhart. Lockhart was not dead anyway, and no matter how miserable he was, he wouldn't lose all his memories and become a fool who couldn't take care of himself like in the original novel.
"Why are you wandering outside alone!" When the fat lady saw Albert walking slowly over, she immediately scolded him with a straight face: "You should know that it is dangerous to be alone outside now."
"Eggs wrapped in eggs."
Albert didn't intend to continue listening to the fat lady's nagging and immediately gave the password.
"Oh, okay, come in quickly and stop running around alone!" The portrait of the Fat Lady swung forward, revealing the hole in the wall.
The Gryffindor common room was empty, with only a few people chatting and laughing in low voices.
Albert walked to the place where the kettle was placed, took out his wand and tapped it, and a burst of steam suddenly spurted out from the spout.
Harry, who was playing wizard chess with Ron, cast a doubtful look at Albert.
"What's wrong?" Ron followed Harry's gaze, his eyes full of confusion.
"Why did he come back alone?" Harry said with a frown.
"Fred once secretly told me that as long as it is not discovered, it is not a violation of school rules." Ron disapproved of this. He knew that Albert and the others did not take those rules seriously at all.
"Where are Fred and George?" Harry still felt something was wrong and asked.
"Still in the library, they will be back soon." Albert went upstairs to get a cup and prepared to make himself a cup of milk tea. He had been busy since just now and had not had time to drink water.
Before Harry could speak again, the entrance to the common room was opened again, and Professor Flitwick sent back all the Gryffindor students who had stayed in the library.
As soon as everyone entered the common room, they started discussing who was kidnapped by the monster.
"It's great that you're okay. We thought you were kidnapped by a monster."
Fred, George and Lee Jordan, who had just entered the common room, saw Albert sitting in an armchair drinking milk tea. They couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly to Albert to give him a big hug.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is no way.
As soon as Albert stepped forward, they were told that something had happened.
The three of them were naturally worried that something might happen to Albert.
"What did the Slytherin monster kidnap me for?" Albert glanced at the knocked over cup and couldn't help but sigh, before he could take a second sip.
"Has anyone been kidnapped by Slytherin monsters?" Harry asked warily.
"Yes, just now, Professor Flitwick said that some students seemed to have been kidnapped." Lee Jordan quickly told Harry and the other students staying in the common room the news he knew.
"Everyone, please gather here. Please go and call down all the girls in the dormitory. I need to count the number of people." Percy began to perform his duties as a prefect and make sure that all the remaining students were here.
Ten minutes later, Percy's face darkened, and he discovered that his sister was missing.
"Has any of you seen Ginny?" Percy immediately asked his brother.
Seeing the three of them shaking their heads, Percy's expression became even more gloomy. He asked two girls he knew to go to Ginny's room to look for someone, but found nothing.
Ginny is missing.
She is most likely the student kidnapped by the monster.
Thinking of this, Percy's hand holding the parchment trembled.
Fred and George both looked at Albert uneasily, and just as they were about to speak, the door to the common room was opened again, and Professor McGonagall walked in hurriedly.
"Professor, my sister is missing." Percy's voice was hoarse, as if something was blocking his throat.
"Hogwarts is over here." Professor McGonagall looked around at the students in the common room and said in a hoarse voice, "The Hogwarts Express will take you home early tomorrow morning. Until then, stay in the common room."
lounge."
"Professor, I want to send a letter home." Percy's mind was in chaos, and he didn't even know how to face his family.
"Be safe." Professor McGonagall agreed.
After Professor McGonagall turned around and left, Albert noticed that Fred and George had been staring at him.
"Where is the entrance to the secret room?"
Fred asked eagerly after dragging Albert back to the dormitory.
"You must know, tell us, please." George said loudly, "Ginny is our sister, we can't let anything happen to her."
"The entrance to the secret room is in the girls' bathroom on the second floor of the castle." Albert looked at the anxious twins and explained in a low voice, "The entrance to the secret room requires Parseltongue to open."
"Parseltongue?"
"Parseltongue is the symbol of Slytherin."
Albert glanced at Harry and Ron who were eavesdropping on their conversation outside the door, and comforted him, "Don't worry, Ginny is probably still alive, she is fine for the time being. Only Dumbledore can save Ginny now."
"But Dumbledore is not in school right now."
"He will be back, at the latest at night. There is no point in worrying now." Albert took out his wand and waved it gently, knocking down Fred and George who were pulling Harry to leave.
"What are you doing?"
Everyone looked at Albert in shock.
"I can understand their mood, but impulsiveness can't solve any problem." Albert's tone was extremely calm, "I can't just watch them die."
"Okay, I think you know what you are doing." Lee Jordan glanced at Albert, used magic to levitate Fred and George, and moved them to his bed.
"Can I open the Chamber of Secrets?" Harry stared at Albert, as if he wanted to confirm the authenticity of this sentence, "You must know what's going on, right?"
"Yes, I will go to Professor McGonagall now to make it clear. You just stay here and wait." Albert said seriously, "When Professor Dumbledore returns to school, he will definitely ask you to help open the entrance to the secret room.
"
"Why not save Ginny now?" Ron couldn't help but asked.
It was related to his sister's life and safety, and he didn't want to wait for a moment now.
"To enter the Chamber of Secrets now is to die. Any professor who enters may die in the Chamber of Secrets. Only the principal can kill the basilisk and the heir of Slytherin." Albert comforted softly, "Don't worry, Ginny is temporarily
It’ll be okay.”
"Ginny is not your sister, that's why you are not anxious at all." Ron almost shouted these words.
"Sorry, but I think you may need to calm down." Albert waved his wand and brought Ron down. "I know Ron is sad, but impulsiveness can't solve the problem. It's best to let them sleep for a while and wait until they wake up.
Everything has been resolved since I arrived.”
"How should I open the Chamber of Secrets?" Harry quickly supported the unconscious Ron to prevent him from falling directly to the ground.
"Snake symbol, facing the snake-related symbol in the girls' bathroom, you can probably open the secret room by saying "open" in Parseltongue." Albert reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "
Don’t act without permission and wait for my good news, okay?”
"Okay!" Harry knew he had no other choice. He could only trust Albert now.
Albert knew that Harry would not wait for the result obediently here, but he did not care about the other party's unauthorized actions. Under the reminder of the elixir (intuition), he put down Fred, George and Ron, just to leave Harry alone.
A chance to face Tom Riddle.
As for whether the savior will die in the secret room, that is not a question that Albert should be concerned about.
When Albert found Professor McGonagall, the vice-principal had just come out of the principal's office. She had just asked the portraits of past principals in the principal's office to inform the school board of directors about what happened in the school.
"Professor." Albert called to Professor McGonagall.
"Mr. Anderson, what are you doing here?" Professor McGonagall stared at Albert with a stern look.
"I know where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is, what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is, and I know who the heir of Slytherin is, and I even know what happened in the classroom on the third floor." Albert said in rapid succession.
Finish what you said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What did you say!" Professor McGonagall looked at Albert dumbfounded, unable to believe her ears.
Seeing the wonderful expression on Professor McGonagall's face, Albert was in a happy mood, knowing that the other party would be willing to patiently listen to what he had to say.
"The heir of Slytherin, well, I should say Ginny. She was probably controlled by something, and she attacked me not long ago, but failed." Albert said lightly: "So, you should have watched the three
That classroom on the upper floor was created when he let the basilisk attack me."
"Were you really attacked?" Professor McGonagall asked stammering.
"Don't look at me with that suspicious look. I made those roosters because the basilisk was afraid of the crowing of roosters."
"The basilisk," Professor McGonagall repeated uneasily.
"The monster in the chamber of secrets is the basilisk."
"You knew it from the beginning." Professor McGonagall asked in disbelief.
"That's right, I've been investigating this matter for a while, and I know most of the things." Albert said calmly.
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"Now that something like this has happened, you are not willing to believe me, let alone before it happened. Even if I tell you, you will probably think..." Albert didn't finish his sentence, but what he meant
It's already obvious.
Albert's words immediately made Professor McGonagall speechless.
"I think Ginny should still be alive, and we should rescue her from the secret room first." Albert reminded.
"Yes, where is the entrance to the secret room?" Professor McGonagall suddenly woke up and asked quickly.
"The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is in the abandoned bathroom on the second floor, but you need Parseltongue to open the Chamber of Secrets. Well, Parseltongue is one of the signs of the heir of Slytherin. Don't look at me like this. There is no Parseltongue at all.
Can't control the basilisk."
"The secret room is in the abandoned girls' bathroom on the second floor?" Professor McGonagall repeated in disbelief.
"Yes, but it's best to let Professor Dumbledore handle this matter. To be honest, I don't recommend other professors to rush into the secret room. They may die directly in the secret room. The basilisk is very dangerous, especially its
Once you look into its eyes, you will die directly." Albert looked at Professor McGonagall and reminded softly, "Of course, I don't suggest you take my cocks into the Chamber of Secrets. The heir of Slytherin has already
After suffering a loss once, such a good thing cannot happen twice, so you'd better not take any chances, because the heir of Slytherin is also very dangerous, and it would be very uneconomical to die again."
"The heir of Slytherin?" Professor McGonagall asked doubtfully, "Isn't it Ginny Weasley?"
"If my guess is correct, it should be the one who killed Professor Quirrell last year." Albert said softly.
Professor McGonagall couldn't help but shiver and asked curiously: "How did you escape the attack?"
"It's very simple." Albert took out the time turner from his pocket, looked at Professor McGonagall's shocked eyes, and smiled proudly, "He let the basilisk chase me down two corridors, and in the end I had to go back to the past.
Get rid of the basilisk's pursuit."
"Why didn't you ask for help then?"
Professor McGonagall asked her last question.
"If you encounter a basilisk without defense, even Professor Dumbledore will be killed by the basilisk's eyes immediately." Albert reminded, "It's not that I don't trust the professors' abilities, but I
We cannot let them take risks."
Professor McGonagall couldn't help but shudder.
It's not hard to imagine what the consequences would be if it really happened.
All of this is really thanks to Albert, otherwise the whole school really doesn't know what it would be like.
"Come with me, Mr. Anderson. I think Professor Dumbledore will return to school soon. Then you can tell him what you know."
Professor McGonagall's tone became very gentle. She knew that Albert might be hiding other things, but these were not important anymore.
Now, solving the problem first is the most important thing.
