Metropolis: My Little Shop Connects All Worlds

Chapter 177: The Basilisk Appears

The three of Harry quickly came to a corridor.

On the wall of the corridor, a large line of characters was written in blood, and when little Hermione saw it, she couldn't help but read it out: "The secret room has been opened, the enemies of the successor, be careful."

"What's that, hanging down there? Ron" noticed a black mass under the blood.

When I got closer, I immediately recognized what it was.

Mrs Norris!

Filch's cat, the Hogwarts caretaker, now with his tail hanging from the lampstand, his body as stiff as a plank, and his eyes wide open.

The three of Harry froze in place for a few seconds.

Ron said, "Let's get out of here."

He was a little scared.

"We should try to help it," Harry said.

"Believe me."

Ron said: "We can't be found out here or people will think we did it.

But it was already too late. At this time, it was the end of the dinner time. At both ends of the corridor where the three of them were, there were footsteps and voices going up the stairs at the same time.

After a while, students rushed over from both ends.

When everyone saw the hanging Mrs. Norris and the blood on the wall, the roaring chatter, the footsteps, and all the sounds stopped, and panic appeared on their faces.

"What happened? What happened?"

The anomaly here soon caught the attention of Filch, the shit shoveler who was looking for his master not far away.

Filch pushed through the crowd, and then...

When he saw his master, Mrs. Norris, he stepped back in fright, with a terrifying expression on his face.

"My cat! Mrs Norris, what's wrong with it?!" Filch screamed.

Immediately, he widened his eyes and turned his gaze to Harry.

Because Harry was the closest to Mrs Norris.

10 "You!!"

Filch screamed, "You—you killed my cat! You killed her! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to—"

"No, no, not me!" Harry shook his head in denial.

But Filch didn't listen to Harry's explanation, or didn't believe Harry at all, and touched Harry's collar directly.

"Felch! Don't be impulsive!"

At this moment, a voice stopped Filch.

Dumbledore and several professors came here, and Lu Xiao was among them.

Seeing the blood on the wall, Dumbledore frowned, and then said: "Everyone will go back to their dormitory immediately, except for the three of you."

With that, he pointed to Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

Wait for the crowd to disperse.

Dumbledore looked at Filch and said, "Mrs. Norris is not dead, Filch, she's just petrified."

Filch looked at Harry and snapped, "It's him, he did it, and the writing on the wall!"

"not me!"

Harry hurriedly said, "Professor Bully Dundo, I swear, I didn't write these words, and I didn't touch Mrs Norris."

"You're lying!" Filch said immediately.

Little Hermione, who was beside her, also looked at Lu Xiao and said, "Professor, Harry really didn't do this. We were in the library just now, and Mrs. Pince can testify for us!"

"I believe you." Lu Xiao smiled at little Hermione.

Then he looked at Dumbledore and said, "Professor Dumbledore, let alone Harry, even Professor Snape may not be able to use this level of petrification spell. I think Harry and the others just happened to pass by."

Saying that, Lu Xiao looked at Snape.

Snape was sullen and didn't say anything. It was his acquiescence. He really couldn't tell the truth at this level.

"But my cat was petrified! I want to see someone punished!" Filch exclaimed angrily.

"We'll cure it, Filch. Mrs Sprout is growing very healthy mandrakes, and when they're ripe they make an antidote that will restore Mrs Norris." Britten More reassuring Filch said.

Lu Xiao looked at Filch, the hard-working Squib who had been the administrator at Hogwarts for over twenty years.

A Squib is a person born into a wizarding family (at least one of both parents is a wizard) but cannot learn magic, as opposed to a Muggle-born wizard.

In Lu Xiao's view, Filch was quite pitiful.

In the huge Hogwarts Castle, he is the only administrator, and his usual daily work is complicated, and he has to deal with those troublesome bear children.

Sighing, Lu Xiao said, "Don't be so troublesome, leave it to me."

Saying that, Lu Hao pointed at Mrs. Norris, and the Maine Coon recovered.

With a "meow" cry, he looked around and jumped into Filch's arms.

Seeing his master recover, Filch looked surprised and hurriedly bowed to Lu Xiao and said, "Thank you, Professor Lu Xiao, thank you for rescuing my cat.

Lu Xiao said: "No thanks, such a cute little guy, I can't bear to let her be petrified for a few months.

Lu Xiao actually likes small animals, both cats and dogs, but he is too lazy, so he doesn't keep them, and he prefers to have cat-eared girls, rabbit-eared girls, etc. fox ears and the like..

I don't know when the shop will be able to come to a customer from the world of Warcraft.

"Superb anti-curse, I think only Professor Lu Xiao can do it in the entire magic world." Dumbledore exclaimed.

Not when the two of them were alone, Brittany would call Lu Xiao Professor Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao smiled and did not explain that this was not an anti-curse at all, but the effect of fairy energy. He believed that Dumbledore probably guessed that he was not using a magic spell, and he said this just to cover himself. .

"Guru--"

Little Hermione's stomach made a sound, she glanced at Lu Xiao, a little embarrassed.

Lu Xiao smiled, rubbed little Hermione's hair, and said:

"Let's go to dinner, go back to the dormitory early after dinner. Of course, if the reply is late, and it happens to be discovered by a professor, he will say that he was called to the office by me."

"Okay, Professor." Little Hermione responded.

Hermione, Harry, and Ron left.

Dumbledore said helplessly: "Professor Lu Xiao, are you teaching students like this?"

Lu Xiao didn't care and said, "I think it's reasonable to give a little more preferential treatment to outstanding students."

"Okay." What could Brydundo say.

The three of Harry had dinner and returned to Gryffindor's dormitory.

"Why do we have to go back so early? Why don't we go for a night tour tonight. If we go back late, let's say that we were called to the office by Professor Lu Xiao with Hermione." Ron suggested.

"No!"

Little Hermione immediately said: "Although Professor Lu Xiao said so, but I can't do this, Professor Lu Xiao will be disappointed.

"Come on." Ron curled his lips and said, "I think even if you blow up Hogwarts, Professor Lu Xiao will not be disappointed with you, and maybe he will speak for you."

Hermione blushed when she heard that.

Busy changing the subject, "It's weird, isn't it?"

"Strange, I think so too." Ron said, "Why does Professor Lu Xiao like you so much?"

"That's not what I said!!"

Little Hermione glared at Ron, then looked at Harry and said, "I mean, Mrs Norris was petrified after Harry heard that voice, that voice that only he could hear. Strange, isn't it?"

Harry also found it strange.

After thinking for a while, he hesitated: "Do you want me to tell Professor Dumbledore about this?"

"You're crazy! This will make people think you're the heir to that secret room!" Ron said.

Ron's words made Hermione swallow what she was about to say.

She wanted to say that they could turn to Professor Lu Xiao for help, and if this happened to her, she would definitely go to Lu Xiao, but she couldn't make a decision for Harry.

However, worried about her companions, she ran to Lu Xiao's office after parting with Harry and Ron.

"Miss Granger, what's the matter?" Lu Xiao asked.

With that said, he clicked on the table, two cups of hot cocoa appeared, and handed one of them to little Hermione.

Order anytime, that's the privilege of a Hogwarts professor.

"Thank you Professor."

Little Hermione took the hot cocoa, hesitated, and said, "Professor, something happened to Harry..

Hermione told Lu Xiao that Harry heard the voice.

"Professor, what is the Chamber of Secrets?" asked little Hermione.

"A secret room?"

Lu Xiao took a sip of hot cocoa and said:

That's "to say that more than a thousand years ago, Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff and Salazar Slytherin, four of the The greatest wizards founded Hogwarts, and three of them got along very well, but one didn't."

"Slytherin?" Little Hermione guessed.

Lu Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, Slytherin hopes to further screen the students who are admitted to the school. He believes that only the children of magical families can learn magic, but he can't convince the other three, and the contradiction is getting bigger and bigger. , In the end Slytherin chose to leave Hogwarts."

"The secret room is a room that Slytherin secretly built in the castle. When he left, he closed the room. It is rumored that his successor will open the secret room, release the monsters inside, and clear all the school. A person who Slytherin considers ineligible to learn 587 magic.

"People who are not qualified to learn magic, are you referring to the descendants of Muggles like me?" Little Hermione said in a low voice.

"This is just a rumor, didn't I say it, you are the best little wizard I have ever seen, if you are not qualified to learn magic, then who else is qualified to learn magic?

Lu Xiao smiled and continued: "The truth is, the castle of Hogwarts belongs to Slytherin. If he really wants to eliminate some students, he doesn't have to get the consent of the other three at all. A Muggle wizard, Slytherin does have prejudices, but he is a qualified headmaster.

Hermione's expression was a little cute and said: "Then what happened today,

"Today's matter is that someone is making a ghost, don't worry, leave it to the teacher to solve it, trust the teacher, you won't be hurt.

Hearing Lu Xiao's words, little Hermione lowered her head and said "um".

Little Hermione left, and Lu Xiao, who had promised Little Hermione to resolve this matter, also changed his attitude towards watching the play, opened a portal to the secret room, and killed the basilisk, snake skin, snake Teeth, etc., have become trading points.

Then went to Gryffindor's dormitory.

Take Voldemort's Horcrux Riddle Journal in Ginny's hand, destroy it, and throw it to Bryant.

Three months passed quickly.

It only took three months for Lu Xiao to become the most popular professor at Hogwarts. In every Defense Against the Dark Arts class, except for the students in this grade, most of the students in other grades who did not have a class would come to audit. .

Even Dumbledore lamented that since he was the Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts (before he became the headmaster, Dumbledore was the professor of Transfiguration), he had never seen little wizards like learning so much.

But for Lu Xiao, the biggest gain was the support of little Hermione. It was because he was more admired by Little Hermione.

And the task of the main god space has also arrived at the time of settlement.

This day, just after a Defense Against the Dark Arts class, a voice sounded beside Lu Xiao's ear: "Reincarnation...
