Early the next morning, several sixth-grade students in Slytherin Academy had a conflict with Bathshedda Bablin, the ancient rune professor who was responsible for looking after them. A group of students firmly believe that they do not need the supervision of professors and that this crisis is too alarmist. Putting aside whether the matter is that serious or not, are all students going to lose their freedom just for this matter?
Could it be said that if we give up the control over them, as students, they will die?
Facing the sudden attack from the students, Professor Bablin was at a loss for a moment. Fortunately, Professor Snape felt it in time.
"What are you going to do!"
Snape looked at the group of students in front of him with a gloomy expression. It was obvious that the current students seemed to have some problems.
The leading student was shamefully cowed when facing his dean.
"You know what we're going to say, Professor! We don't want to waste time just like this. You also know that we sixth-grade students are very busy." A young man with bright eyes shifted himself from the state of speaking righteously and arguing hard. When I came back, my attitude softened, and I felt like I was discussing and pretending to be pitiful.
Professor Bablin's eyes were filled with tears. You students are just looking at the dishes! Truly a Slytherin realist!
Snape looked at the young man in front of him. Eric Wenger comes from a small pure-blood family. In recent years, my family's business has been doing quite well, so I have gotten along well with many children of big nobles, and they are considered friends. When he inherits the family, the Wenger family's status in the aristocratic circle will rise a lot.
Very smart kid. The smart people in Slytherin tend to protect themselves wisely. Naturally, it is because someone has given them enough benefits to go against the school's policy so blatantly.
This kind of thing is not difficult to guess, nor is the person behind it.
Snape glared at Eric, who looked pitiful and seemed innocent.
Snape fell silent, as if his position was not entirely on the side of the professors and the school.
Soon, other professors who heard the news rushed to the scene.
After arriving at the scene, Professor McGonagall immediately asked Professor Bablin about the whole matter, and then asked several students about their reasons. And finally found a few Gryffindor students who were not involved in the matter and asked what happened.
After summarizing the information from the three parties, Professor McGonagall had a relatively neutral but comprehensive understanding of the matter.
"What are you going to do with these students, Severus?"
"What about you? Minerva. If you want to take over the processing authority, I can transfer it directly to you."
The conversation between the two people left the professors a little confused and made the participating students feel that something was wrong. But seeing that Eric, the leader, still seemed to be in control of his wisdom, they didn't panic too much.
Professor McGonagall did not agree this time, but said: "Let Professor Dumbledore handle this matter. To be honest, judging from the current situation, we have to discuss the school's policy again."
Later, the matter was handed over to Dumbledore, who looked confused.
Afterwards, both the students and the professors seemed to have questions about the existing strategies.
"If there is a problem, then it should be solved. It is not the same thing to delay it like this!"
Professor Kettleburn has long been deeply resentful that the existing strategy prevents him from entering and exiting the Forbidden Forest at will. If he is not allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest to be with magical animals, it would be better to take his life directly, not to mention...
"And it's just a basilisk. I can handle it, trust me!" When he said this, his face was full of the confidence that a magical animal expert should have.
But no
People believe in him. Except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class and the Divination class, there is no course where the professors are stupid. This is true for professors now, and even more so for professors in the past. The basilisk appeared once before. And the Magical Creatures professor at the time didn't even come to the right conclusion.
And, last year’s Fantastic Beasts Invasion is still fresh in my mind. The basilisk is even more dangerous than those four magical animals. Can you handle it alone? Then everyone really held you back last year!
Dumbledore looked at the professors with different expressions in front of him and the slightly nervous student, and felt helpless for a moment.
The professors' argument reached no conclusion until the evening, but it was visible to the naked eye that the atmosphere in the school had temporarily relaxed. But Dumbledore's attitude is still unclear and I don't know what other reactions he will have.
In short, in such an atmosphere, this night will definitely not be a peaceful night.
That night, Luke walked out of his dormitory again and was in the lobby of the lounge. He saw Malfoy bragging to Crabbe and Goyle.
"I'm telling you! The heir to the secret room this time must be Luke."
He looked sworn in, both his expression and tone were extremely firm. To be honest, if Luke didn't know what kind of person this guy was, maybe he would really shake it now.
The matter wasn't really urgent anyway, so he simply sat on another table next to him, ready to hear what Malfoy had to say.
Although Goyle and Crabbe are Malfoy's younger brothers, they are not idiots (they think they are)!
"Luke refuted it in front of everyone. He said that he was really not the heir to the Chamber of Secrets. If he was, why didn't he admit it to such a showy thing?!"
After thinking for a moment, Goyle gave Malfoy a stern rebuttal. Crabbe on the side looked at the good brother beside him in admiration. Malfoy's face was a little surprised: "You can actually say such clear words!"
Ignoring Goyle's violent remarks, he turned to look at Crabbe with a smile, and then said: "What do you think? Let's talk about it together?"
Seeing this, Luke always suspected that the smile on Malfoy's face was a smile of care for the staff.
Facing the sudden question, Crabbe didn't perform much better than when he was suddenly asked by Professor McGonagall in class. After a long silence, he said, "Goyle is right!"
Malfoy's smile froze.
Luke, who was a little impatiently waiting for his answer, held his forehead.
Needless to say, it was really worth his long wait. After all, it’s not easy to live like a fool.
"You are serious, it's surprising." Malfoy couldn't help but twitching his lips, then shook his head and said with a pity: "I really envy Luke. He is surrounded by people like me. Smart people, but I only have fools like you around me.”
Luke just couldn't listen anymore. His skill is still not enough. When he sees three people acting stupidly, he always doubts the meaning of saving pure blood. If the remaining purebloods are such idiots, then even if they succeed, I'm afraid they won't be able to find a future direction. Still have to send it...
So he simply stayed out of sight and out of mind.
Malfoy didn't know that at this time, a person who was very disgusted with his actions left the lounge. He was so happy that he was giving out his opinions and didn't care about the door that was suddenly opened.
He continued: "It makes sense for Luke not to admit it! After all, it is Slytherin's inheritance! Although he has the natural right to inherit it, does it really mean that no one else wants it after he takes it away? How is that possible. You guys Think again about the situation Luke faced at the last party. Although many people were on his side, there were still many people who coveted the money in his hands!"
"If I were Luke, I wouldn't admit that these things were taken away by me. Inheriting a treasure house containing huge wealth is already eye-catching. Now, if I accept all Slytherin's inheritance, I don't know. How many envious monsters are there to give Luke a chance?"
"I'm telling you, you're not very smart.
Only people would believe that Luke was not the heir. If he really isn't! Who else could it be? ! "
Goyle and Crabbe looked at Malfoy with expressions of admiration and surprise. This gave Malfoy, who felt their gazes, great satisfaction. So he smiled proudly and said with pretense of pity: "It's a pity. , if it weren't for Luke, maybe I would be able to get Slytherin's approval this time. After all, our Malfoy family is also married to the Gaunt family. Although it is far away, I can be considered a bit gangster in my body. It’s the blood of the Te family.”
"However, since it is Luke who is recognized, I won't have any resentment. After all, we are all good brothers!"
Crabbe and Goyle could not wait to applaud Malfoy for his righteousness.
A smug smile appeared on Malfoy's face.
Luke didn't know what happened in the common room after he left, otherwise he would have discovered that although Malfoy's reasoning in the general direction was wrong. But his analysis of the reasons still makes sense.
After all, Luke actually had such concerns when he was thinking about hiding himself behind the scenes. Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. Now he is enough to be in the limelight. Has become the leader of the next generation of nobles. But he must not show up now to the extent that those people think that he has surpassed the concept of the next generation.
Not yet.
At the very least, he has to wait until his power outside becomes mature enough before he can truly let go of his restraints.
not to mention……
"It's so fun to trick you, Tom!"
Luke said with a smile as he walked towards the secret room. The smile on his face is so "kind", and you can tell at a glance that he is a kind and gentle child.
When there is no need to worry about the cost of living, people will start to pay attention to their own spiritual happiness, and one of the most common ways to obtain spiritual happiness is to make others unhappy.
That's right, Luke didn't want Voldemort to be happy. After living with the people around him for so long, he understood why Voldemort was despised by so many people.
Almost everyone around Luke has a grudge against him. Whether they are pure blood or mixed blood, there are people who are scared and want to spit when they hear this name. On the contrary, those "mudbloods" who were despised by him and his men had no hatred towards him. Of course, neither did Luke, but Voldemort was the one who destroyed the Gaunt family. It can be considered that the two have a grudge.
Even when Luke dealt with Voldemort, it could only be said that he was clearing the door.
Luke bumps into Filch on his way to the Chamber of Secrets. Filch was obviously in a bad state, his face looked unusually haggard, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with anger. That seemed to be what kept him patrolling day and night. He really wanted to avenge his cat. He didn't even care about whether he had the strength to resist in front of the murderer.
His arrogant patrol style is really hard to compare to the eyes of the Basilisk. If the basilisk was really hungry and immediately served him as a dessert, Luke wouldn't be surprised at all.
What's more... a squib. There are too many ways for a wizard to hide a squib.
Luke was a bit confused as to whether Dumbledore had had enough of Filch's stinky face and was ready to let him hit the basilisk's gun and die.
e...Dumbledore shouldn't be able to do such a thing. But Snape would, maybe it was Snape who instigated it.
Luke never hesitated to speculate on Snape with the utmost malice. After all, Snape did have a dirty ass. A former Death Eater, he later chose to rebel because his boss killed the woman he loved deeply but didn't love him back.
Now he is assigned to take care of the child of the woman he loves most and the person he hates the most. Luke had a hard time imagining Snape's mental state after living like this for a whole year.
After all, normal people return to normal little by little with the slow healing of time after being hurt mentally. But Snape... after he was hurt, someone tore the wound open before it could be healed.
Now I can say that every time I see Harry
Personally, he would think of the woman he liked the most marrying and having children with the person he disliked the least, and later the two of them got into trouble with his boss and was killed by his boss, and as a result, his boss was also killed. things.
Is there any grudge? Otherwise, how about using Harry's sharpest knife to cut Zasnape's wounds over and over again?
Just as Luke was thinking wildly, he had already reached the door of the women's room.
This time, as soon as he stepped into the toilet, he heard a scream that pierced his soul.
A glistening white figure jumped out of a certain toilet, with its head raised to the ceiling, and shouted with a ferocious face: "Come out! Come out! You rude guy, how dare you do that to me last time! Let me move." No!"
Myrtle asked angrily. This startled Luke, and he subconsciously glanced at his panel. The level of the Disillusionment Curse written on it was indeed very high.
But later, he noticed that Myrtle's eyes did not stay on him, but looked around, as if searching for his location.
This gave Luke a sigh of relief. It seems that through hard study and practice, coupled with the concealment obtained by a little krypton gold magic props, I finally won't be easily seen through by a female ghost.
As for whether Myrtle dares to provoke him, Luke has no doubts. You can't expect a ghost to remain completely sane. What a mutilated ghost can do when no living person can do it?
Myrtle was very angry now. She clearly felt the scent of the soul of that annoying person last time. Now I feel it again, but I can only feel that the guy is in the women's toilet.
Well... Actually, she wasn't sure if that guy was still here. After all, the moment she screamed, she couldn't feel the guy's breath.
At the same time, Luke also noticed Myrtle's lustful look, and then let out a long sigh of relief. He admitted that he had been a little relaxed just now. It seemed that it was because of his relaxation that part of his aura leaked out and was noticed by Myrtle.
He was not very worried about whether Filch, who was on patrol, would be attracted by the screams. After all, according to his previous understanding of Myrtle, this female ghost likes to howl to relieve her worries even if she has nothing to do.
However, Filch's current mental state is not very normal, so it is possible to come.
At this moment, the small mirror in Luke's hand suddenly moved.
Luke picked up the mirror and took a look, only a few words appeared on it.
"We are in position and ready to act."
After Luke saw it, he wrote letter by letter on the small mirror with his finger: "Okay, you will see the right opportunity."
After finishing the letter, Luke began to wait quietly for the arrival of Ginny and her friends. If the other party doesn't come tonight, he will forcefully investigate tomorrow. The problem will still be solved by then.
But the effect is definitely not as good as catching a thief and taking the stolen goods.
So he arranged for Eric Wenger to do it. Of course, except for Eric, no one knew that he was the one behind this arrangement. As for whether anyone would guess that he was the one behind it, that was their business. Luke would never admit it anyway.
Of course, he knew very well that both Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall must have guessed this and cooperated with Eric in his act. Dumbledore is naturally like this too.
What they want to create is such a state of panic. A momentary looseness will also give the other party an opportunity to take advantage.
At this time, if the basilisk comes out and attacks again, the damage caused will definitely be more effective than if the students and professors work together.
Luke has found several actors for tonight's events, either knowingly or unknowingly. On the stage, these actors will give exquisite performances.
There is no moon tonight and the stars are dim. The dim light cannot penetrate the thick night.
Somehow, Doris, as a ghost, has a chill all over her body
a feeling of.
At this moment, she heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
The footsteps of two people...
