Chapter 7： The attack begins

After collecting all the information, Schelling's life returned to the two-point-one-line life of last semester. In addition to daily study and homework, almost all of his time was devoted to boring magic research. Although the amount of information on blood magic found in the restricted book area of ​​the library is not much, it is only relatively speaking, and these materials are enough for Schelling to digest for a long time.

Time flies quickly. The first two months of school have passed. Halloween is coming. According to the plot, the first attack by the basilisk in the secret room will happen on that day.

Even Xie Lin, who lives in the room, had to spare time to attend the party on Halloween.

In the auditorium, Schelling sits at the long Slytherin table. Draco held Schelling's shoulders-at this time, Draco had gone through two months of Quidditch training, and his body was much bigger than before, and his face had more fortitude, "Hey, thanks Lin, why doesn't it seem to have seen you in the past two months? You didn't come to watch my Quidditch training, and you rarely saw you at dinner time. What are you up to?"

Xie Lin pretended not to hear the last question, and smiled slightly: "Can I still understand your strength? It doesn't matter if you don't watch your training. With your strength, coupled with the excellent performance of the Polishing Wheel 2001, Slytherin, the Quidditch champion this year, counts on you."

Draco quickly said yes with a proud face.

Daphne and Meredith also looked at Schelling with grievances, as if they had been left out by Schelling in the past two months. After Xie Lin's sweet talk and coaxing, the two girls were amused.

Xie Lin watched the Gryffindor long table quietly. The Harry trio were not there. Xie Lin recalled the plot of the original story carefully, remembering that the three of them had gone to the death party that belonged to the ghosts. He cast his concealed gaze on the target person tonight-Ginny Wesley. Sure enough, a few minutes before the end of the dinner, Ginny left the auditorium alone in a low-key manner.

Xie Lin followed silently and cast an invisible phantom spell on himself at the corner. After making sure that he could not be seen by anyone, he followed Ginny step by step, and unexpectedly came to the girls bathroom at the end of the third floor.

This girl’s bathroom has a famous name. Everyone calls it "Crying Myrtle’s bathroom." Since a student named Myrtle Warren was killed here fifty years ago, her ghost has always been The form of ghosts wandered here, and most students were reluctant to walk into this bathroom. Over time, it became a semi-destroyed state.

Schelling knew that there was an entrance to the Slytherin secret room hidden in this bathroom. The bathroom had a sink with a copper faucet that never came out of water, and there was a small snake carved on it. If you say "open" to it using the snake-like cavity, the faucet and the sink will slowly disappear from sight, revealing a large pipe leading to the secret room, which can accommodate a person to get in.

Xie Lin followed into the bathroom and saw Ginny use snake language to turn on the hose mechanism, seeming to be calling for the basilisk to come out. Although he has confidence in his own invisibility magic and has done many experiments in front of snakes, but as the king of snakes, Schelling is not 100% confident to determine whether the basilisk can see the invisible self. It is safe to do so. He quietly exited the bathroom, hiding behind a piece of armor near the bathroom entrance, waiting for the plot to begin.

Then he saw a lot of water flowing out from the door of the bathroom. The cat Lolise, the school administrator Filch, came to the bathroom and yelled at the door, as if trying to catch a prank. Of students are complacent, but they don’t know the bad luck that will befall them. As soon as Xie Lin closed his eyes, he heard the sound of a large and heavy object squirming. Loris's scream stopped abruptly, followed by another sound of squirming, and finally everything returned to calm.

When Schelling opened his eyes again, he saw the red slogan "The secret room has been opened, be wary of the heirs" on the wall, and the petrified Lolise hung high in front of the stone wall. Then he saw Harry's trio running to the scene of the crime following a strange sound that only Harry could hear.

Xie Lin didn't want to cause any misunderstanding, and while he was still invisible, he once again mixed into the team of students who had just returned to the dormitory after the dinner party. Then you can see that the Harry trio was wronged by the angry Filch, and finally the Harry trio was intervened and taken away by Dumbledore, and the matter came to an end.

Since Halloween, the atmosphere of the school has become very weird. The legend of the Slytherin secret room has not been revealed by anyone. Various rumors in the school have also begun to circulate. Most people suspect that the perpetrator is Harry. Potter. Among the Loris people who were first discovered on Halloween, Hermione’s parents were Muggles and could not be descendants of Slytherin; Ron’s family were all wizards, but their family was Gryffindor, and Luo En's strength is not enough; only Harry is the most suspicious, because he defeated Voldemort, in the minds of most young wizards, only the most powerful dark wizard can defeat the dark lord.

Xie Lin pouted his lips, it was none of his business anyway, and immediately returned to the closed life before.

Hogwarts in November officially ushered in the beginning of the Quidditch game. Quidditch’s first game was Slytherin against Gryffindor.

This Quidditch is different from the description in the original book-Slytherin’s broomstick is more than one grade higher than Gryffindor, and Draco’s strength is not much inferior to Harris, and Dobby’s in Schelling He did not intervene in this game under the orders. 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 of the day, Slytherin relied on a more advanced flying broomstick to lead the way, and Draco also appropriately restrained Harry effectively. It can only be said that Harry deserves to be surrounded by the protagonist's halo and is heavily besieged. Zhong still caught the Golden Snitch with a sweep of the Seven Stars, allowing Gryffindor to win by a margin of ten points.

Because there was no intervention from Dobby, there was no scenario in which Harry was injured by a walker and was subsequently cursed by Lockhart to lose his arm bone.

After listening to Dobby's report, Schelling secretly sighed about Harry's terrible flying talent, but also expressed helplessness towards the protagonist's halo. "Dobby, haven’t you been worried about Harry Potter’s safety at Hogwarts this year? Now I’ll give you a task. You go to Harry Potter, of course, while he’s alone, you can Give him some warnings, tell him the secret room has been opened, and tell him to leave Hogwarts and go home."

"I see, little master, Dobby will do it."

Slytherin did not fall into a gloomy fog because of the defeat in the first battle. On the contrary, the equipment superiority of the Slytherin team in this battle has been revealed. In addition, Draco's performance is not amazing, but it is also much better than expected. Not many have played for the first time. Players can do this, and Harry is just a rare exception. Moreover, Slytherin's loss in this game is almost negligible, so it still has great potential for the championship.

Under Draco's call, the whole team trained harder. The situation of the Slytherin team is obvious to all, which puts pressure on the Quidditch teams of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.

Schelling’s magic research continued until the first week of December before being temporarily stopped.

Xie Lin rubbed his temples to soothe his somewhat exhausted spirit. The long-term retreat study made him look a little haggard, but it gave him a solid foundation for the theoretical knowledge of bloodline power. What he needs now is some samples for him to experiment and practice. He already has an idea about this, but what is more important for him now is to expand the layout of the plot that will take place in this semester and see if it can be Seek the best interests in the secret room storm.

While Schelling was burying his head in Magic Research, Hogwarts had a second attack.

The victim this time was Colin Crevy, a first-year student in Gryffindor. Colin, like Loris, was lucky to be petrified instead of being stared to death by the basilisk. News of his attack spread quickly throughout Hogwarts.

There are rumors in the school, everyone is suspicious, and fear begins to spread among the students. During this time, the school became popular in the exchange of amulets, exorcism and other toys to protect oneself.

Schelling walked in the corridor. When there was no class, the corridor seemed very quiet. Obviously, this was because the students were afraid that wandering around in the castle would be the next victim This situation is convenient. Thanks Lin's exploration of the castle.

Schelling’s first goal was the responsive house that appeared in the original book. The original book mentions that the entrance to this magical room is opposite to the giant stick on the eighth floor of the castle, opposite the tapestry of Barnabas. Schelling thought of what I needed. After passing through the wall three times where the things were hidden, a door appeared on the wall as expected.

Opening the door expectantly, Schelling found himself standing in a room the size of a cathedral. The beam of light cast by the high windows looked like a city lined with high walls. Schelling could see that those high walls were It is a pile of objects hidden by the people of Hogwarts in the past. There is a crumbling pile of broken furniture here, which is probably packed here to hide evidence of misuse of magic; there are thousands of books here, undoubtedly banned, scrambled or stolen books; yes Winged slingshots and spiked flying saucers, a few of them still hover weakly over the mountain of forbidden objects; there are hats, jewels, cloaks, things like fire dragon eggshells; a few plugged bottles are still shining Evil light; there are a few rusty swords and a large blood-stained axe.

Xie Lin couldn't help but spit out, this place is simply a treasure, Hogwarts has always come in countless people, are they all blind? Can actually turn a blind eye to so many suspected treasures.

Xie Lin called Dobby, one person and one elf began to slowly screen and sort out the garbage dump-like items. After a long period of hard work, Schelling found that most of the items were broken or damaged. He only found 3 interesting items: a suitcase, an ancient sterling silver dagger, and Voldemort's Horcrux One of the crowns of Ravenclaw. After tidying up, Xie Lin couldn't wait to bring the harvest back to the dormitory to study.
