After collecting all the information, Xie Lin's life returned to the two-point and one-line life of the last semester. In addition to daily study and homework, he devoted almost all his time to boring magic research.
Although the amount of information on bloodline magic found in the restricted section of the library was not large, it was only relatively speaking. The information was enough for Xie Lin to digest it for a long time.
Time flies so fast, the first two months of school have passed, and Halloween is coming. According to the plot, the first attack of the basilisk in the secret room will occur on that day.
Even Xie Lin, who was staying at home, had to make time to attend the party on Halloween.
In the Great Hall, Schelling sat at the Slytherin table.
Draco put his arm around Sherrin's shoulders. At this time, Draco had gone through two months of Quidditch training. His figure was much stronger than before, and his face had a more resolute temperament. "Hey, thank you." Lin, why do I seem to have rarely seen you in the past two months? You didn’t even come to watch my Quidditch training, and I rarely see you even during dinner time. What on earth are you busy with?"
Xie Lin pretended not to hear the last question and smiled slightly: "Can I still not understand your strength? It doesn't matter whether I watch your training or not. With your strength and the excellent performance of Nimbus 2001, This year's Quidditch champion Slytherin is counting on you."
Draco quickly said yes with a proud look on his face.
Daphne and Meredith also looked at Xie Lin with resentment, as if they were being ignored by Xie Lin in the past two months. After Xie Lin coaxed and coaxed with sweet words, the two girls were made to smile.
Xie Lin quietly observed the Gryffindor table. The three Harrys were not there. Xie Lin carefully recalled the original plot and remembered that the three of them went to a death anniversary party belonging to ghosts.
He cast his hidden gaze on tonight's target - Ginny Weasley. Sure enough, a few minutes before the end of the dinner, Ginny quietly left the auditorium alone.
Xie Lin followed calmly and cast an invisible phantom spell on himself around the corner. After making sure that no one could see her, he followed Ginny step by step and arrived at the girls' bathroom at the end of the third floor as expected.
This girls' bathroom has a reputation, everyone calls it "Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom." Ever since a student named Myrtle Warren was murdered here fifty years ago, her ghost has been known as The ghostly form lingered here, and most students were unwilling to enter this bathroom. Over time, the place became semi-abandoned.
Schelling knew that this bathroom concealed the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets. There was a copper faucet in the bathroom that never came out with water, and there was a small snake engraved on it. If you say "open" to it in Parseltongue, the faucet and pool will slowly disappear from sight, revealing a thick water pipe leading to the secret room, which can allow a person to get in.
Xie Lin followed into the bathroom and saw Ginny turning on the water pipe in snake language, seemingly calling the basilisk to come out. Although he has confidence in his invisibility magic and has done many experiments with snakes, as the king of snake monsters, Schelling is not 100% confident whether the basilisk can see himself when he is invisible. For safety reasons He quietly exited the bathroom and hid behind a piece of armor near the bathroom entrance to wait for the plot to begin.
Then he saw a large amount of water flowing out of the bathroom door.
Loris, the cat owned by the school administrator Filch, came to the bathroom and barked at the door, as if she was smug about catching a mischievous student, unaware of the misfortune that was about to befall her.
As soon as Xie Lin closed his eyes, he heard the sound of a large and heavy object squirming. Loris's screams suddenly stopped, followed by another sound of squirming objects, and finally everything returned to calm.
When Xie Lin opened his eyes again, he saw the red slogan "The secret room has been opened, beware of those who are enemies of the heir" painted on the wall, and the petrified Loris hanging high in front of the stone wall. Then he saw the Harry trio running to the scene of the crime following the strange noise that only Harry could hear.
Xie Lin didn't want to cause any misunderstanding, so while he was still invisible, he once again blended into the group of students who had just finished the dinner and returned to the dormitory. Then you can see that the Harry trio were wronged by the angry Filch. Finally, the Harry trio were taken away by Dumbledore, and the matter came to an end.
Since Halloween, the atmosphere in the school has become very spooky.
The legend of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was uncovered by someone unknown, and various rumors began to spread in the school. Most people suspected that the perpetrator was Harry Potter.
Among the Loris people who were first discovered on Halloween, Hermione's parents are both Muggles and cannot be descendants of Slytherin; Ron's family is full of wizards, but their family is all Gryffindor, and Ron En's strength is not enough; the only one left most suspicious is Harry, because he defeated Voldemort. In the minds of most young wizards, only the most powerful dark wizard can defeat the Dark Lord.
Xie Lin curled his lips, it was none of his business anyway, and then returned to his previous closed life.
Hogwarts in November officially ushered in the start of the Quidditch match. The first Quidditch match was Slytherin versus Gryffindor.
This Quidditch game is different from the description in the original book - Slytherin's broomstick is more than one level higher than Gryffindor, and Draco's strength is not much inferior to Harry's, while Dobby's broomstick is more than one level higher than Gryffindor's. He did not interfere in this game despite his instructions.
On the day of the game, Schelling did not go to the scene to watch the game. He just sent Dobby to hide in a corner to watch the game, and reported the game process to himself after the game.
In the game that day, Slytherin relied on more advanced flying broomsticks to lead the way, and Draco also appropriately and effectively restrained Harry. It can only be said that Harry is worthy of being shrouded in the aura of the protagonist, and he was surrounded by many Zhong Yiran caught the Golden Snitch with a sweep of seven stars, allowing Gryffindor to win by a mere 10 points.
Because there was no intervention from Dobby, there was no plot where Harry was injured by the Bludger and later lost his arm bone due to Lockhart's mistaken spell.
After hearing Dobby's report, Schelling secretly sighed at Harry's terrible flying talent, but also expressed helplessness at his halo as the protagonist. "Dobby, haven't you been worried about Harry Potter's safety at Hogwarts this year? Now I give you a task. You go to Harry Potter. Of course, when he is alone, you can Give him some warning, tell him that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened, and let him leave Hogwarts and go home quickly."
"I understand, little master, Dobby will definitely do it."
Slytherin did not fall into depression because of the defeat in the first battle.
On the contrary, the Slytherin team's superiority in equipment has been revealed in this battle. In addition, although Draco's performance is not amazing, it is much better than expected. It is not many first-time players. Players can perform like this, and Harry is just a rare exception. Moreover, Slytherin's loss in this game was so small that it was almost negligible, so it still has great potential to compete for the championship.
Under Draco's call, the entire team trained harder. The situation of the Slytherin team was obvious to all, which put pressure on both the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw Quidditch teams.
Schelling's magical research lasted until the first week of December when it was temporarily suspended.
Xie Lin rubbed his temples to soothe his tired spirit. The long period of seclusion and research made him look a little haggard, but it gave him a solid foundation in theoretical knowledge of the power of blood. What he needs now is some samples that he can experiment and practice on. He already has an idea about this, but what is more important to him right now is to lay out the plot that will happen this semester and see if he can Seek maximum benefit in the secret room incident.
While Schelling was concentrating on his magic studies, a second attack occurred at Hogwarts.
The victim this time was Colin Creevey, a first-year Gryffindor student. Colin, like Loris, was lucky enough to be petrified instead of being stared to death by the basilisk. News of his attack spread quickly throughout Hogwarts.
Rumors are flying around the school, everyone is suspicious, and fear begins to spread among the students. During this time, it became popular in schools to exchange amulets, amulets, and other devices to protect oneself.
Schelling walked in the corridor. When there were no classes, the corridor seemed particularly quiet. It was obvious that this was because the students were afraid that wandering around the castle would become the next victim. This situation made it easier for Schelling to explore the castle.
Schelling's first goal was the Room of Requirement that appeared in the original novel. The original novel mentioned that the entrance to this magical room was opposite the tapestry on the eighth floor of the castle where the troll beat Barnabas silly. Schelling silently thought to himself, "I need it." Where the things were hidden, after passing the wall three times, a door appeared on the wall.
Pushing open the door with great expectation, Xie Lin found himself standing in a room the size of a cathedral, with the light beams cast by the high windows reflecting a city lined with high walls.
Schelling saw that those high walls were made of items hidden by people in Hogwarts over the past generations. There were crumbling piles of broken furniture, probably stuffed here to hide evidence of accidental witchcraft; there were thousands of books, no doubt banned, scrawled, or stolen; there were There were winged slingshots and fang flying saucers, a few of which were still hovering feebly on the mountains of forbidden objects; there were also hats, jewelry, cloaks, and things that looked like fire dragon eggshells; a few plugged bottles were still shining. Evil light; and several rusty swords and a bloodstained axe.
Xie Lin couldn't help but complain, this place is simply a treasure. Countless people have come to Hogwarts. Are they all blind? How could he turn a blind eye to so many items that looked like treasures.
Xie Lin summoned Dobby, and one person and one elf began to slowly screen and sort out the garbage-like items.
After a long period of hard work, Schelling found that most of the items were incomplete or badly damaged. He only found 3 interesting items: a suitcase, an ancient sterling silver dagger, and Voldemort's Horcrux. One of Ravenclaw's diadems.
After tidying up, Xie Lin couldn't wait to take the harvest back to the dormitory to study.
