In order to confirm where the black shadow was, John used the mirror of Ironwick's sword to look at it.
It was a huge guy with black scales and a scarlet crest on his head.
Just being there is enough to swallow the troll.
John cursed secretly where this thing came from, and saw the dark shadow turning around.
John saw a pair of big yellow eyes from the sword, and he felt his body become stiff after just a moment of contact.
"No, it's petrified!"
He was shocked, and he didn't expect that he would be attacked just by looking at his eyes.
John's magic resisted petrification, but it had little effect.
"Damn it!"
If he is petrified, he will definitely finish the game.
John growled, his eyes turned into vertical pupils, and the petrified pride on his body slowed down.
Without hesitation, he reached into the small bag he carried with him and took out bottles of potions.
He poured the antidote into his mouth, but it didn't do much, so John switched to another bottle.
In this race against time, John touched the antidote refined from mandrake before he was completely petrified.
After he drank it, the petrification on his body was lifted.
This was made by stealing a pot of mandrake from the greenhouse last semester when Professor Sprout was not paying attention.
There is only one bottle.
"Is it a curse?"
After John opened the dragon eyes, he could see that those eyes were covered with a strong curse.
Without hesitation, John turned on the flame mode.
Under the influence of the burning magic of the flaming sword, the reflected curse was burned, and he saw the black shadow approaching towards him through the sword.
The moment the black shadow approached, John closed his eyes and used only his ears to attack the black shadow.
With the fire spell attached, Ironwick's sword finally penetrated the black shadow's scales with one blow.
Blood was left along the blade of the sword, and John heard the black figure roaring in pain.
Then a strong wind swept by, and John rolled to avoid it.
"No, you must avoid it!"
He turned around and ran in the direction he remembered. After being injured, the black shadow became very manic and chased John.
Activating the flying boots, John turned his back to the black shadow and opened his eyes and began to shift positions.
Through the reflection of the sword, John could see that the black shadow was still chasing him.
Counting the time, the Halloween party is almost over.
If this monster with killing eyes breaks in, I'm afraid all the students in the school will be wiped out.
John made up his mind and ran towards the outside of the castle.
After he ran out for a while, he looked at the sword again, and the black shadow behind him disappeared.
"left?"
John stopped, thought of something, his face changed drastically and he ran back.
...
On the second floor, Harry saw his most hated cat, Mrs. Norris, hanging there.
Mrs. Norris was hung on the torch support, her body as hard as a wooden board.
There is a line of blood writing on the wall.
"The secret chamber has been opened. Those who are enemies of the heir must be alert."
Ron read the words above with a trembling voice, and by the time they realized it was time to leave first, the Halloween party was over.
A large group of young wizards witnessed this, and Filch squeezed through the crowd to see what had happened to his cat.
He stumbled back a few steps, grabbed his face with his hands in terror, and let out a heart-rending roar.
"My cat, my cat! What happened to Mrs. Norris?"
His appearance made people feel pity for him.
Malfoy laughed when he saw the bloody writing on the wall.
Filch insisted that Harry had killed his cat, and screamed that he would kill Harry to avenge Mrs. Norris.
Dumbledore rushed to the scene, and he was the first to find some traces that someone had fought here.
The student body was in an uproar, and a kind of panic spread here.
Dumbledore knew that the priority was to suppress all these emotions now, so he asked the three little ones of the first witness to leave with him.
Filch looked at them with hatred, and Lockhart volunteered to let Dumbledore go to the nearest office.
After they left, John returned.
He stared at the bloody words on the wall and scanned the crowd.
He knew that when he was fighting that black shadow, there were no words here.
This shows that after he lured away the shadow, someone else came here.
"Who is it?"
John was lost in thought. The prefect was taking the students from his own house back.
"Gemma, I have something to do."
Gemma Farley, the sixth-year Slytherin prefect, wanted to let John leave, but John just left a word and headed in the opposite direction.
Gemma Farley was a little helpless, but still pretended not to see it.
John came to the girls' bathroom, where he first saw the dark shadow.
When he came here, the water stains were still there, so he cautiously used his sword to explore the way.
"not here?"
John checked the entire girls' bathroom and didn't find the dark figure.
Instead, he saw Myrtle, but John had no time to pay attention to her now.
After leaving the girls' bathroom, John's brows never relaxed.
He knew the danger of that thing. It was no longer a matter of whether Harry was in danger, but that the entire school might be in danger.
"Dumbledore must be told."
John made up his mind that this was no small matter, he needed this great White Devil.
Head to Lockhart's office immediately.
"I remember something very similar happened in Ouagadougou, a series of attacks, which are detailed in my autobiography."
Lockhart started bragging about his autobiography again, and no one in the professor room really believed him.
Dumbledore determined that Mrs. Norris was not dead, but petrified.
Filch burst into tears, turning his tear-stained face to Harry fiercely.
Dumbledore told him that it was impossible for a second year student to do this.
But when he said this again, he thought of John.
If the second grader is most likely to do this, then it's most likely John.
And John was not at the dinner this time.
He had mixed feelings about John.
The other person's excellence and studiousness, and the charm he displayed to win people close to him, were all consistent with the one who was once the best student in Hogwarts.
This worried him.
Filch insisted that it was Harry and the others who did it, because Harry saw the letter of his rapid incantation and knew that he was a squib.
The most unexpected thing was that Snape came out to speak. He said in a mocking tone that it was impossible for Harry to have such magical attainments, but the timing of the appearance of the three little ones made people doubtful.
Harry felt that he was uneasy and did not say that he heard strange noises. He just said that he was tired and wanted to go to bed early.
Everyone can tell a bad lie, and Professor Snape is no exception.
He even wanted Harry to quit the Quidditch team, which would make Professor McGonagall, a die-hard Quidditch fan, quit.
The two almost got into an argument, with Filch yelling that his cat was petrified.
John felt that he should not go in now, maybe he could see the two deans fighting, but knowing that Dumbledore was here it was unlikely.
The discussion inside was over, and Dumbledore asked Professor Snape to refine a potion to remove petrification.
The three little ones came out first, but instead of going back, they found an empty classroom to start the discussion.
John wanted to talk to Dumbledore, but he had to follow him because Dobby said that these things were all about Harry.
And he promised Dobby to protect Harry from danger.
...
In an empty classroom.
"Do you think I should tell them about the sound I heard?" Harry was a little uneasy.
Only he heard the sound, which made him feel bad.
Out of consideration for his friends, Ron decisively told him not to say anything, and said: "It's not a good sign to hear voices that others can't hear, even in the magical world."
Harry asked, "You believe me, don't you?"
Of course Ron believed it, which made Harry slightly relieved.
At this moment, a voice sounded in the empty classroom.
"Harry where did you hear the noise?"
This made Harry tense up in fright. Hermione recognized the familiarity of the voice and asked tentatively: "John?"
"it's me."
After the disillusionment spell was lifted, John appeared out of thin air, looking like he was walking out of the darkness.
He stared at Harry and asked word by word: "You can hear that voice, right?"
"John, did you hear it too?" Hearing something wrong in John's words, Harry asked hurriedly: "I heard it in the corridor on the second floor."
"That's right."
A flash of light flashed in John's eyes. After the thing left, it returned to the second floor and disappeared. Maybe the black shadow base camp was on the second floor.
[Ding, trigger the exploration mission, find Slytherin’s secret room, and get the reward blessing: Snake Catcher]
[Snake Catcher: Increased damage to snakes, not affected by snake poison curse]
Triggering the mission, John knew where the thing came from.
The only problem was where Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was. John took a deep breath. He needed help.
Looking at the three little ones, he said in a solemn voice: "I encountered that thing. It was a huge snake with very dangerous eyes."
The three little ones stared wide-eyed, John actually met the murderer? !
Harry quickly asked: "You mean, you know who the murderer is?"
"No, besides the snake, there is another person here. He wrote something in blood after I left. We have to find it."
When it comes to the best helper, the protagonist is naturally the best.
After John said it, the three little ones also realized the seriousness.
The heir to the secret room is the most dangerous one.
John entrusted the three people to find the heir to the Chamber of Secrets, and he went to Dumbledore's office.
But when he arrived at the door, he was in trouble. He had no password.
