"Mr. Longbottom! You can't stay in school! It's too dangerous!" A house elf wearing a dirty pillowcase tugged at the hem of Neville's robe, while big tears fell down.
"I'm safe! Let me go, I'm going back. Don't bring Filch here." Neville was so anxious.
After not seeing it for a few months, I had completely forgotten about this nasty house elf.
How dare it chase you into the school!
"It's not safe, it's not safe!" Dobby refused to let go. His hand with slender fingers was actually quite strong, and he could pull off a piece of Neville's robe with just one stab.
Both Neville and Dobby were silent for a few seconds. Neville then ran away, but Dobby appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, almost tripping Neville.
"Let me go!"
"Mr. Longbottom, please leave the school. The monster, the monster has been unleashed!"
"What monster?" Neville stopped struggling and asked strangely.
"Oh no, Dobby can't expose his master's conspiracy, Dobby is a bad elf!" With that said, Dobby hit his head against the thousand-year-old stone brick wall of Hogwarts, as if he might be bruised to pieces at any time.
"You, don't do this, don't do this." Neville finally had a soft heart and quickly advised him.
Dobby stopped hitting the wall and looked touched: "Mr. Longbottom is really kind. Dobby, Dobby is so touched."
Neville: "Then can you tell me about the monster..." Dobby started to hit the wall crazily again.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."
At this moment, a magic spell silently shot Dobby's back.
As a result, Dobby suddenly dwarfed, as if his whole body had shortened, and narrowly escaped the curse.
"Ah!" He exclaimed and disappeared with a "bang".
Then I heard jingling sounds in the corridor not far away, as if ten blacksmiths were forging iron.
not good! This little thing didn't choose to run away immediately, but chose to make a big fuss. Was he trying to force Neville to drop out of school in this way? too naive!
"The figure disappeared~" Ted had appeared during the sneak attack just now, and at this time he gave himself and Neville an invisibility spell.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, Filch rushed over cursing.
"Peeves! Let me catch you, and you will suffer the consequences~" Tactics backed up.
After returning to a safe place, the two of them had time to chat.
It turns out Neville came out with Jerry. The good boy was finally persuaded to be dishonest~
But when he came back, Jerry went to the kitchen to get some cheese for a midnight snack, and Neville wanted to go back to his dormitory first.
It was only a matter of two corridors, but I didn't expect to be caught by that house elf!
"He said his name was Dobby!" Neville looked at Ted anxiously, "Do you think he had been staring at me before school started, and also at school, and then found me alone? Did the time suddenly appear?"
This is simply stalking @HanNa!
"That's right!" Neville became serious, "He also said that monsters were released!"
Ted nodded: "I understand, now is not the time to talk about this, we will discuss it tomorrow. You can go back first, don't worry about Jerry, that kid is smart, Filch can't catch him."
The failure to capture Dobby was something Ted did not expect.
Unexpectedly, house elves were so sensitive to magic that they hid from it.
His body was so short that it was impossible for a flesh-and-blood creature to perform such movements. The entire upper half of his body was about to dig into the lower half of his body!
But it doesn't matter, catching him is just a way to control Lucius Malfoy.
After this accident, he probably wouldn't dare to show up again.
Go back to sleep and when you open your eyes the next morning, guess what? Hey, it’s December!
"Ding~ The talent [Knowledge from another world (gold)] was triggered and the [Soldier 76 Tactical Goggles Development Manual (green)] was discovered."
[Soldier 76 Tactical Goggles R&D Manual (Green)] records the research and development information of new tactical equipment goggles developed by technology companies. It requires 260 experience to redeem.
ah? How come this is still on the technology side?
Ted feels a little distressed, this is an opportunity once a month!
He originally wanted to ignore it, but then he thought about it. In this situation, he might as well exchange it.
Although looking at the route, the knowledge about other worlds seems to be wrong this time.
But what I am most worried about now is the basilisk's deadly gaze, and I even made protective glasses for this purpose that I don't know how effective it is.
And the knowledge in front of me, although it is on the technological side, may be useful.
It doesn't take much experience, it only takes three or four days. Changed!
Ted savored the fresh knowledge in his mind and found it valuable for reference.
Especially the capabilities of "super aiming", "contour calculation" and "trace scanning".
But the technology side is really far away. If you want to learn from it, it won’t be effective in a day or two.
Do we need to use alchemy to refine the chip, and then use ancient magic script to write the code? Depend on!
However, just when Ted was going to do his morning exercise, he suddenly heard a scream.
Ted was shocked, it was Hermione's voice!
He cast magic on himself and ran over as fast as he could. I have already put on the glasses that I don’t know how to use.
"Hermione, is that you?" Ted felt a mental body as he turned the corner in the corridor. he shouted tentatively.
"Ted, it's me, come and see!" Hermione shouted.
Ted walked around the corner and saw the reason for Hermione's screams - a little girl, now covered in gray and lying on the ground, her movements stiff, like a stone sculpture.
This is……
"It's Clara!" Hermione shouted, "What's wrong with her?"
This is Hermione's roommate, Clara Flash, a dwarf female student of her class.
Because there are not many students, there is basically only one dormitory for boys and girls in each college.
Ted wasn't particularly familiar with the girls, but this little girl, who was just over one meter old, still knew about it.
Clara is lively and quirky, and is loved by Professor Flitwick.
But now she looks like this, has she encountered a basilisk?
Ted noticed that Clara was wearing a pair of strange-looking glasses with many magical components that he could not understand, but they were now destroyed.
Maybe this is what saved her from a brutal death?
Yesterday, I met Neville in the castle, and someone was attacked this morning? ! And it's still here in the Ravenclaw Tower complex? !
"Hermione, when did you realize she was like this?" Ted asked.
Hermione's face looked a little ugly, "Clara also often runs away and goes out for night walks nearby. She went out last night, but when I woke up in the morning I found that she hadn't come back at all. I was a little worried and went out to look for it..."
In other words, it was possible from last night to this morning.
Doesn't that mean that last night, he, Neville, and the Basilisk might have been wandering around the castle at the same time! grass!
Not only Ted, who was called by Hermione's voice, but also several Ravenclaws who were more diligent and got up early also rushed over, and then they saw the dwarf girl Clara lying stiffly on the ground.
Soon, Professor Flitwick and other professors arrived.
Dumbledore came to the conclusion that Clara was not dead, but was petrified, just like Lady Norris on All Hallows' Eve.
People immediately thought of that line - secret room!
At breakfast everyone already knew about it. The atmosphere suddenly became tense!
Before, it was just a cat that had an accident, and everyone treated it as a topic of conversation after dinner.
But now it’s come true! A student was attacked!
Slytherin Chamber of Secrets! Clean up the school! Many students began to feel uneasy.
"We can't wait any longer! We must brew the Polyjuice Potion as soon as possible, and quickly tell what Malfoy said!" Her roommate was petrified, and Hermione decided to start brewing the Polyjuice Potion.
So in the abandoned classroom where Ted conducted research, there was an ever-burning crucible.
The first day of December was so exciting that the little wizards said they couldn't stand it.
Now the students are not interested in class at all, they are all inquiring or making up stories about the secret room. Some young wizards have already begun preparing amulets.
Ted still remembered that he promised the twins and Ron that they would get rich together, so he came up with a plan for them to make their own magic talismans and sell them to the little wizards.
Although their craftsmanship is rough, the amulet is at least somewhat effective. It's better than something like a salamander tail or an onion, right?
With the deans' efforts to comfort them, the first week passed without any more strange incidents.
At the beginning of the second week, Professor McGonagall and the others began to collect the list of students staying at school for Christmas as usual.
This time Harry, Neville, Ron, Jerry and Hermione all signed on the list, and Ted would naturally stay.
I don't know where Harry got it from, saying that Malfoy was also planning to stay during the holidays.
Everyone thinks this is very suspicious!
Hermione calculated the time, and the Christmas holiday was just the right time to use Polyjuice Potion to trick Malfoy into telling the truth.
The problem is, the two most important ingredients for Polyjuice Potion are not available yet.
The horn of the bicorn and the skin of the African tree snake are materials strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic. They can be purchased either through formal channels or on the black market.
Naturally, they were targeting Snape's private storage room.
The matter of stealing medicinal materials from Snape was naturally left to Harry and Jerry.
Jerry is talented and Harley can take the blame.
