I added points to my talents at Hogwarts

Chapter 199 Harry: What happened to us

A few days ago, the second-year students of Gryffindor finished their Potions class and packed up their things to leave the cold underground classroom.

Because Harry and Ron made a mistake in arranging the hair erecting potion in class, they were severely scolded by Snape. After being deducted ten points, they were asked to stay and skin the medicinal toad.

“I don’t want to come into contact with those toads who look numb at all.”

The two of them worked for more than an hour before they finished their work. As soon as they walked out of the Potions classroom, Ron rubbed his hands in disgust and complained.

“Me too,” Harry nodded in agreement, and then he said anxiously:”We’d better go to the Great Hall quickly, lunch time is almost over.”

As soon as food was mentioned, Ron was no longer sleepy. He quickly took Harry’s hand and ran upstairs,”Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go quickly. My stomach is growling.”

The two of them ran upstairs quickly. When they reached the last corner before the stairs, Harry suddenly heard several rustling noises.

He stopped unconsciously and listened.

There was a voice behind the wall, a voice that was bone-chilling, breath-stopping, cold and vicious.

“Come…come…let me tear you apart…tear you apart…kill you……”

The sound made goosebumps appear on Harry’s body unconsciously, and the cold wind happened to penetrate the underground corridor, making him shiver.

“Ron, did you hear anything?”Harry shouted to Ron, who had his back turned to him.

Hearing this, Ron turned back and looked at him with a puzzled expression,”What is that sound? What are you talking about? Apart from our footsteps, I didn’t hear any other sounds.”

The cold voice still came,”Hungry… I’m so hungry.……”

“Didn’t you hear that?”Harry frantically messed up his already messy black hair.

Ron walked up to him and looked at him with a slightly frightened look,”Harry, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me……”

In the cold and deserted underground corridor, his companion suddenly said that he could hear a voice that no one else could hear…

The goosebumps on Ron’s body began to appear uncontrollably. How could the situation he encountered now be so similar? The Muggle horror story that Dean told in the dormitory chat the night before yesterday.

He looked around suspiciously.

At this moment, the voice that Harry heard began to move forward. He left Ron behind and followed the voice without any explanation.

Seeing him running out like crazy, Ron ignored his fear and hurriedly followed his footsteps.

“Harry, where are you going?” he shouted

“I’m going to follow that voice and see what it’s trying to do. Harry replied, and he added,”Ron, please lower your voice. I can’t even hear the specific location of the voice.””

As Ron ran, he thought speechlessly: Aren’t I worried about you? You actually think I’m in the way…

Then I’ll leave?

Although he thought so in his heart, Ron was still worried about his best friend.

The two of them Departed from the original route and walked towards another deserted corridor

“……Kill…it’s time……”

“……I’ve been so hungry…for a long, long time……”

Harry’s expression was solemn, which reminded him of what happened in the restricted area on the fourth floor last year. Could it be that another dark wizard had slipped in from the castle?

Turning a corner, they came to an empty corridor.

Something glistened on the wall.

Harry came closer, squinting in the darkness.

On the wall a foot high from the ground, there are some writings, which shimmer under the light of the burning torch.

【The secret room was opened.

Be wary of those who are enemies of the heir. 】

There is a large puddle of water under the line of characters, and there are two blurry shadows.

As he and Ron approached slowly, they could finally see the two blurry shadows clearly.

It’s Filch and Mrs. Norris.

Filch was sprawled out on the ground, with a mop not far from him. He seemed to be cleaning the puddle on the ground before being attacked by the owner of the mysterious voice.

The frozen expression on his face was frightened, as if he had seen some terrible monster.

As for the janitor’s cat, its tail was hung on the torch stand, its body was as stiff as a board, and its eyes were wide open and staring.

“Ha…Harry……”This horrific scene made Ron’s legs tremble, and he called Harry’s name with a trembling voice.

Harry didn’t respond to him and stood motionless for several seconds.

“Let’s get out of here quickly.”

It wasn’t until Ron broke the silence in the corridor and proactively reminded Harry that Harry came back to his senses. He hesitated,”Should we try to rescue Filch?……”

“We are not Ives.” Ron pulled a corner of his robe to signal that they should leave.”Listen to me, I don’t want to be discovered here. I won’t be able to tell you clearly then.”

“Right.”Harry thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. He reluctantly turned back with Ron.

However, as luck would have it, when they were about to step onto the steps leading to the first floor, they encountered someone from the potion. Snape coming out of the classroom

“Why are you two still here?”Snape looked at the guilty two people in confusion and asked in a cold and serious voice.

“No, nothing……”Harry waved his hand and hurriedly found a reason for their suspicious whereabouts,”I… we just went to the toilet and wasted a little time.”

He poked Ron’s shoulder with his elbow. Ron understood and hurriedly Nodding and confirming:”No, that’s right.”

Snape looked at the two of them suspiciously, and Harry pretended to be calm, puffing up his chest and looking into Snape’s eyes.

Then, Harry saw a glimmer of light flashing in Snape’s eyes, and then his expression changed drastically.

“You two wait here for me! Snape snapped, turning and running towards the corridor where Filch and Mrs. Norris were.

“Snape wouldn’t have discovered anything, would he? Ron asked in a low voice.

“I don’t know,” Harry shook his head. He didn’t know why. After he and Snape met their eyes, the other person seemed to understand everything.

Because of Snape’s order, they both had to wait where they were.

During this period, they also saw Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey running down the stairs in a hurry.

“Ron.”Harry tugged on Ron’s sleeve.

“Um?” Ron, who was so hungry that his mind was a little unclear, hummed.

“I think it’s our business……”Harry pointed at the four professors walking out of the corridor. Behind them were the petrified Filch and Mrs. Norris.

“……Sent”

……

The sudden disappearance of Filch, the housekeeper and caretaker in the castle, naturally attracted the attention of many people.

At the same time, many

people witnessed the principal and several professors walking up from the underground classroom with the petrified Filch and Mrs. Norris. They also saw Harry and Ron following the professors with dejected faces.

Rumors spread quickly among students.

At first, they just thought that Harry and Ron were dissatisfied with Filch and secretly used the petrification spell to poison him and his cat.

In this regard, many students expressed their appreciation for their actions.

It wasn’t until two days later that they saw the petrified Gryffindor first-year student, Colin Creevey, on the second floor of the castle. As well as Harry and Ron standing in front of him, and the passage written on the wall.

The little wizards suddenly realized that this was not a prank on the annoying janitor at all, but the Slytherin heir’s liquidation of Muggle-blood wizards.

For a time, there was a tremor. Except for Slytherin, all the students in the other three houses were in danger. Even some students in the Snake House were worried – which modern wizard could say that he was a pure blood? Even among the twenty-eight sacred tribes who are famous in the British magic world, their ancestors have basically mixed with Muggles. No one dares to say that they are completely pure-blood wizards.

Although Dumbledore repeatedly emphasized that they were only petrified, by the end of this semester, the mature mandrakes cultivated by Professor Sprout would be able to lift the petrified state on their bodies.

But the little wizards didn’t care about this. They were restless, worried that they would be the next target of attack. They walked in groups in the corridors, fearing that they would be slapped by the heir of Slytherin if they were alone.

The whole castle was shrouded in shadow.

Several copies of”Hogwarts: A School History” in the library have been borrowed. It is said that people who have registered to borrow have been waiting for two weeks.

The little wizards all had a keen interest and… fear in Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets.

Of course, because of two consecutive coincidences, many people thought that one of Harry or Ron must be the heir of Slytherin.

During this time, except for a few people from the Mystery Shop, Draco and the Weasley brothers and sisters, everyone began to distance themselves from the two, including even their roommates, Dean and Seamus.

The two of them are now like the God of Plague. When eating in the auditorium, no one will come close within two meters.

……

After explaining what happened some time ago,

Ives asked in confusion:”Why didn’t Professor Dumbledore just buy mature mandrakes from outside the school?”

Hearing this, Cedric and the others looked at each other thinking.

Yes, why?

Only Hermione did not have such doubts. She rolled her eyes at Ives, and then explained to everyone:”I have seen similar potion formulas for removing petrification in”Power Potion”, and the most important one is , the mandrake roots used when brewing must come from mandrakes that have just matured for less than ten days.”

“Even if it takes one more second, the brewed potion will have no effect.”

No wonder, everyone nodded in understanding, no wonder they have to wait for the mandrake planted by Professor Sprout to mature. The potion materials sold on the market are basically dried and preserved, and fresh ones are rarely seen. Material

“”Hermione,” Ives looked at the girl sitting opposite,”Is the Veritaserum at your place?””

“I put it in the cabin in your box,” Hermione shook her head and asked curiously:”What’s wrong?”

At this moment, he suddenly mentioned the Veritaserum used to deal with Lockhart, which made her wonder. Could Lockhart be related to Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets?

Ives could see it from her eyes. After hearing her thoughts, he nodded subtly, confirming her guess.

“Are you going to take action against Lockhart?”Fred said excitedly as he keenly smelled the smell of fun.

George recalled the prank they had played to make Lockhart embarrassed in front of everyone, licked his lips and said eagerly:”I’m ready to play pranks on him.!”

Avis shook his head at them,”This time, I want to do it myself.”

Fred and George exchanged a look with each other. They seemed to have never seen Ives playing pranks on people, and they were a little worried.

But everyone heard the firmness in his tone, and naturally they did not stop him.

The soft-hearted Neville said :”I think George and Fred have made Professor Lockhart miserable enough last time, so there is no need to target him anymore.””

“Neville,” Hannah advised,”it would be unfair to Lockhart if those novels he wrote were really copied from the experiences of other wizards.

Neville rolled his eyes a few times and thought for a while before saying,”Okay.””

Anyway, it’s just a veritaserum. If Lockhart really went through those adventures, he wouldn’t make a fool of himself. But if his experiences were fake, then… he finally figured it out, it’s just a veritaserum. , not a hair loss medicine

……

During dinner in the auditorium in the evening.

Avis cast a disguise spell on himself, took the Veritaserum and carefully touched it towards the guest of honor seat. His talent [Heart of Mischief] was activated at this moment.

No one noticed anyone approaching, including the four powerful deans.

However, where no one noticed, Dumbledore, who was sitting in the main seat, twitched the corner of his mouth, but he did not stop Ives’s movement.

Elvis smoothly poured two drops of Veritaserum into Lockhart’s glass. He quietly walked back to the Ravenclaw table, removed the Disillusionment Charm from his body, and turned to the Gryffindor table. The Weasley twins winked.

Watching Lockhart pick up the cup and take a sip, and his eyes gradually became hollow, the twins came over happily.

Fred forced out an expression of admiration and shouted loudly:”Professor Lockhart, can you tell us more about your story of traveling with vampires? We didn’t even hear enough in class!”

“Yeah yeah.”George worked hard to cooperate, and they tried hard to attract the attention of everyone in the auditorium.

Just as they expected, everyone looked towards where they were.

Lockhart replied with a blank look in his eyes:”That’s what you said, actually, I have no experience with vampires at all.”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the auditorium.

Dumbledore shouted at the top of his voice:”Silence! He stood up, his blue eyes behind his half-moon glasses full of seriousness,”Professor Lockhart, what do you mean?””

“I mean……”Lockhart stated everything calmly,”Everything I wrote in my novels is false and I plagiarized it from others.”
