Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 313 Discovery in the secret room

Although Harry and Ron told no one that Hermione was hospitalized, her disappearance quickly attracted the attention of several Gryffindors.

They had long been accustomed to her being in the common room, chirping and urging Ron and Harry to do their homework, but now it was suddenly quiet, and they were still a little uncomfortable with it.

Ron insisted that he didn't know at first, but the Weasleys knew their little brother (older brother) too well and got the words out of him in just a few words.

"So, Hermione is in the school hospital?"

"Oh..." Ron groaned, covering his face. If he had known, he would not have spoken.

"Is this another attack?" Percy suddenly stood up from the sofa, "Don't leave here, I'll notify the professor!" After that, he ran out the door.

Ron and Harry stopped him hastily.

"It's not an attack, it has nothing to do with the Chamber of Secrets!" Harry said urgently.

"Not an attack?" Percy glanced suspiciously at Harry and Ron, who were hugging his legs.

"That's not true!"

"I promise!"

After the two people's earnest persuasion, Percy finally sat back down again.

Fred and George looked at the nervous Ron playfully, but didn't say anything. They just looked at each other and quickly completed some kind of communication.

On the morning of the third day of vacation, when Kyle was about to leave after visiting Hermione, he met the sneaky Fred and George at the door.

"What are you doing in the school hospital?"

"We've got a cold!" Fred blurted out.

"Come here to get a pick-me-up." George pretended to cough twice.

Kyle raised an eyebrow.

Their rosy faces didn't look like they had a cold at all. They probably knew that Hermione was hospitalized and came here to inquire about the situation.

"What about you, Kyle, are you coming to the campus hospital to see someone?" Fred asked.

"Oh, I'm here to get a refreshing potion too." Kyle said loudly, taking out a small bottle filled with red potion.

Hermione obviously didn't want anyone to know that she had turned into a cat.

In order to prevent these two people from talking to me in the future, the best way is to pretend not to know.

"What a coincidence!" George laughed and said, "It's been cold recently, so you should pay attention to your health."

"Yes, yes, you guys are the same."

The three of them chatted awkwardly for a while before leaving.

When Fred and George entered the campus hospital, Madam Pomfrey had covered Hermione's room with a curtain, and they saw nothing.

On the other side, Kyle, who returned to the castle, wanted to go to the library.

But when he got near the foyer, he happened to see Peeves holding a bunch of balloons and flying around the castle after Myrtle.

Ever since Bloody Baron was attacked, Peeves has become completely lawless. He is either chasing the ghost or chasing away students all day long. He only restrains himself a little in front of the professor.

Myrtle is one of Peeves' favorite targets.

Kyle couldn't figure out why Myrtle was afraid of Peeves' balloon. That thing couldn't hit her at all.

But this is also a good opportunity.

After they flew away, Kyle immediately changed direction and came to the empty bathroom.

Based on past experience, the chase game between Peeves and Myrtle would last at least an hour, during which time he could just go to the secret room.

Kyle opened the pipe in snake language and jumped in, arriving at the end of the passage with ease.

The door to the secret room slowly opened, and Kyle took the wand and carefully stepped on the black floor.

The stone he stuck by the door before he left last time has disappeared. It is certain that someone has been in the secret room during this time.

Kyle looked around carefully.

The good news is that there is no other person here besides him, so you don't need to worry about anyone appearing out of nowhere to attack you.

But under the Slytherin statue, there are some scattered snake sloughs and an obvious drag mark.

There was still some undried mucus on it, a bit like the marks left by Philobic caterpillars when they crawled across the floor, but much larger than that.

Seeing the drag marks and the snake slough, Kyle knew the basilisk must have come out.

But who is it... Kyle stood up. Think carefully about everything that happened recently...

There was silence in the secret room, which was eerie and terrifying. The snake eyes carved on the pillars and the statue of Slytherin seemed to be staring at Kyle.

But Kyle didn't care about this. He was pacing back and forth while thinking.

Before this, he asked Myrtle several times, but she said she had not seen anyone else enter the bathroom.

But Myrtle's words may not always be right. Although she lives in the bathroom, she doesn't always stay in the cubicle.

But why didn't the props he arranged move? Could it be that there is another entrance...or that the person who released the basilisk didn't enter through the door?

"Bang bang..."

Suddenly there was another sound that was completely different from the footsteps in the secret room.

Kyle was suddenly awakened and immediately pulled out his wand and pointed in the direction of the door, but soon he realized that the sound came from under his feet.

Kyle lifted his feet. Only then did he realize that he had accidentally stepped on a piece of snake slough while pacing.

"Scared me."

Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.

But just when he reached out to pick up the snake slough, he suddenly discovered that there was something else underneath.

A golden chain...

Kyle quickly picked it up.

The chain was less than two inches, and was connected by several small golden snakes. There were signs of being torn off on both sides, and it looked like it had been torn from something complete.

"Is this left by the person with the diary?"

Seeing those little snakes, Kyle immediately thought of Slytherin.

Who makes them like snakes the most? Whether it is clothes or accessories, this kind of decoration is indispensable.

As long as you pick up something with a snake pattern at Hogwarts, you don't have to think about it, it must be Slytherin.

But... Kyle looked at the half of the chain carefully.

Although the snake clasps connected together are very small, they are lifelike, and even the scales on the body are clearly visible, as if they are alive. You can tell at a glance that this thing is definitely not a bargain.

Slytherin... still has money?

Draco Malfoy?

Kyle subconsciously thought of Harry's old rival.

But soon he shook his head.

No... Malfoy had been in the Great Hall attending the dinner on Halloween, and he didn't have time to release the basilisk to attack Filch.

Moreover, Lucius Malfoy probably wouldn't let him get involved.

But who else could he be...

Kelmo fingered the chain and thought of several other names, Millicent, Daphne Greengrass, Pansy Parkinson...or Crabbe, Goyle?
