Hogwarts: The frog cub brings back the Dragon Slayer Crystal at the beginning

"Does that mean the basilisk really exists?"

After Hermione noticed Lorne's little movement, she squinted her eyes and came closer.

Two pairs of bright eyes looked at each other, very close to each other.

"And you’ve seen it!"

Lorne can even feel the hot breath that Hermione blew on his cheeks when she spoke.

"…Did you drink chocolate milk this morning?"

Lorne hesitated for a while and guessed.

"……"

Miss Hermione also noticed that the distance between the two was too close and quickly took a step back.

"Don't change the subject!"

She murmured dissatisfiedly

"I have not seen."

When Hermione asked, Lorn shook his head and lied.

He finally discovered that some of his habits had been figured out by Miss Hermione.

So this time he didn't make any unnecessary moves.

"Yeah?"

Hermione gave him a suspicious look.

"What's the benefit of lying to you?"

Lorne touched her brown curly hair angrily, and it was messed up a lot.

"I just got my hair done..."

Hermione quickly broke away from Lorn's hand and sat across from him holding the book.

"Well, don't think about the basilisk, it might just be a rumor."

Seeing Hermione gently nodding in agreement, Lorne also relaxed a little.

The basilisk's eyes have the characteristics of death. Even he may not be able to withstand this ability, so it is absolutely impossible for Hermione to participate in it. of

…… auditorium at night

"Have you seen Ron?"

After Lorne and Hermione came to the auditorium from the library with books in their arms, Harry, who was sitting opposite them and was eating pumpkin pie, asked with some confusion.

"I haven't seen him since this afternoon"

"Originally, I wanted to drag him to practice Quidditch together."

In his second year, Ron also signed up for the Quidditch team, but he didn't know if he would eventually be able to join.

"No, Lorne and I have been studying in the library in the afternoon. Hermione shook her head

"You haven't seen him all afternoon?"

Lorne looked thoughtful after hearing Harry's words.

"I didn’t see him during lunch break."

Harry spread his hands helplessly.

After the herbal medicine class in the morning, he saw Ron returning to the dormitory to rest in a daze.

However, when Harry arrived at the dormitory, he discovered that Ron's bed was already empty.

"Don't worry, you can't lose him."

Hermione ordered a dinner and said softly.

Ron is such an old man, how can he get lost in Hogwarts?

In her opinion, Harry is simply overthinking.

After all, these two people They were inseparable all day long.

Lorne took a cup of black tea and took a sip.

He didn't speak, but his light blue eyes narrowed.

According to Harry's description, if nothing else happens, tonight There was an accident. Is the basilisk going to be awakened at this time?

He couldn't help but wonder.

After dinner, Harry decided to go find Ron.

And Lorne and Hermione followed him.

On the second floor In the corridor

"Why are there so many people in front?"

Harry looked at the crowd gathered in front of him with some confusion.

Suddenly he looked a little dazed.

A hoarse voice came into Harry's mind, which made him feel a little numb, and there was a mark on his forehead. It hurts a little too

"Did you hear any strange noises just now?"

Harry covered the scar on his forehead and asked Lorne.

"Strange sounds? Hermione frowned her beautiful eyebrows,"No, what about you, Lorne?""

"I do not have either."

Lorne shook his head.

But looking at Harry's look, he knew that the basilisk had been released by Ron, who was controlled by Tom.

You must know that Harry has the ability of Parseltongue, and it is normal to be able to hear the basilisk's words.

"But I did hear...the sound disappeared!"

Harry looked around. Except for the walls on both sides and a large group of young wizards in front of him, there was nothing else, and those noisy hoarse voices also disappeared from his mind.

It was as if it was just an illusion.

"Come on, let's go over and see what's going on ahead."

After saying that, Lorn pulled Hermione towards the crowd.

When he reached the crowd, Lorn was suddenly stunned.

"Filch?"

Hermione quickly covered her mouth and exclaimed.

The little wizards around her also had horrified expressions on their faces.

Someone actually attacked Filch?

Which little wizard did this!?

I saw that the original expression was cold. Filch fell motionless on the ground at this time. The oil lamp he used for patrol fell on the stone slab and broke into several pieces.

"Petrified?"

Lorne didn't expect that the first victim would be Filch, the watchdog.

Did he look into the eyes of the basilisk through the mirror on the window?

Lorn looked at the bright and patterned glass on the wall. , I thought in my mind.

If the eyes of the basilisk are seen through other media, they will have a petrifying effect and do not have the characteristics of death.

"how so?"

Harry also squeezed in at this time, and his emerald green eyes immediately saw the figure on the ground.

"Filch...dead?"

He looked a little dazed.

"No, it was just petrified."

At this time, Cedric, wearing a little badger robe, came over, his face was a little solemn.

"I just told Professor Flitwick and others about what happened here."

"Really..."

Harry murmured, and suddenly his eyes widened.

"Ron hasn't been found yet?"

"That little red-haired wizard? Cedric asked doubtfully.

"Yes, have you met him?"

Harry asked quickly.

Now he didn't care if Cedric was his love rival.

"I just saw him going up the stairs, looking a little tired."

Cedric pointed to the stairs above and said.

The professors were still very fast.

The first one to arrive was Snape. His fast pace caused the black robes on his body to swell in the wind, making him look cold and indifferent. His expression made the wizards passing by quickly get out of the way.

"Petrification..."

Snape knelt down and took a look at Filch's condition, and frowned.

This was no ordinary petrification spell.

"How's it going, Severus?"

Professor McGonagall and doctor Madam Pomfrey also rushed over.

"It's not life-threatening, but you need to prepare some magic potions."

(A bit stuck - uncomfortable)
