Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 192 The Castle of Chaos

 After hesitating for a long time, Kyle finally did not open the Slytherin statue to awaken the basilisk.

 It was not because he was afraid that the basilisk would kill him.

Although the basilisk is a magical animal that stares anyone to death and is unreasonably strong, its weaknesses are also very obvious.

As long as it hears the crow of a rooster, it will run for its life in a hurry, because the sound is fatal to it.

It may sound like a joke that an ordinary rooster can kill one of the most dangerous magical animals, but it's true.

Kyle came here after making sufficient preparations this time. Before that, he made a special trip to Hogsmeade, bought more than a hundred roosters through the Owl Post Office, and fed each one. A refreshing potion.

At this moment, those energetic roosters are having a party in the box. As long as you open a crack slightly, you can hear the noisy and loud crow inside.

In an environment like a secret room where even the sound of footsteps can be infinitely amplified, the sound of these one hundred roosters can be at least ten times louder.

　　If all of them are released, it will no longer be fatal to the basilisk. If it can survive for more than a second, it will be considered strong.

But Kyle doesn’t want a dead snake…or, if there are other options, he doesn’t want to turn the basilisk into a disposable treasure chest.

 The only problem now is how to make the basilisk listen to him, which is a bit troublesome.

After all, he is not Riddle, and he has no half-Knut relationship with Slytherin. He has no idea how to control the basilisk.

"No, we have to think of a way... No matter what, we can't take advantage of Voldemort's prodigal son."

Kyle squinted his eyes, and he thought of a special ghost, the Gray Lady of Ravenclaw, also known as Helena Ravenclaw.

As one of the Big Four at Hogwarts, the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, she might know something...

Kyle resisted the urge to explode the basilisk and walked out of the secret room, turning back three times.

 Fortunately, Voldemort is thinking about the Philosopher's Stone this year, and he still has time.

 After leaving the secret room, Kyle rode on the broomstick and returned to Myrtle's bathroom along the way he came.

As soon as he jumped off the broom, the pool covering the pipe automatically slid back to its original place.

There was silence in the bathroom, and Myrtle had not returned yet.

Kyle didn’t waste any time. After cleaning up the footprints and other traces, he left here under the Disillusionment Curse.

 The corridor in the early morning was as quiet as the secret room, but it was a little less eerie. Kyle glanced at the library door, shook his head, and decided to go back to the dormitory directly instead of copying books.

However, before he could take two steps, a shrill, blood-curdling scream suddenly broke the silence around him.

　　Because he had just come out of the secret room, Kyle, who was startled, subconsciously thought of the basilisk. With a shake of his hand, he opened the box in his hand.

 “Puleng…Puleng…”

 A large number of roosters fed with refreshing potion poured out like a fountain.

Although Kyle reacted quickly and closed the box, it was too late. Almost half of the more than a hundred roosters escaped.

At this moment, the corridor became lively in an instant.

The screams and roosters' crows in the library came and went, like a concert.

 “Merlin’s beard, what kind of trouble is he going to the library to make trouble in the middle of the night?”

Kyle slapped his forehead and cursed in his heart.

A little wizard like this who blatantly violates school rules should be deducted 100 points directly!

At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps downstairs.

It was Filch, holding a dim oil lamp and walking quickly towards this side. “Damn it!”

Kyle frowned. He came out without the invisibility cloak this time. Although the disembodiment spell was easy to use, it would have a shadow and would be exposed as long as it was illuminated by an oil lamp.

Seeing that Filch was about to go upstairs, Kyle turned around and ran upstairs without hesitation.

He remembered that there was a secret passage behind a suit of armor on the fourth floor that led directly to the underground classroom corridor.

 “Come out, I see you!”

Behind him, Filch's furious voice sounded extremely harsh even if mixed with the noisy snoring.

When Kyle ran to the fourth floor, he was hit by something inexplicably. When he turned around, he saw nothing...

 There was no one around.

 “Potter?”

Kyle frowned. He probably guessed who the unlucky guy in the library was.

Just now, for a moment, he suddenly felt a soft touch like water on his hand.

That feeling was all too familiar to Kyle, it was the invisibility cloak.

"It can't be such a coincidence..." Kyle couldn't help but quicken his pace, and then he saw Snape not far away, and Professor McGonagall in pajamas.

Because of the accident just now, loud crows echoed everywhere in the castle, and all the professors were alarmed.

 Professor McGonagall and Snape were just the first to arrive.

Kyle clung to the wall tightly, not daring to move. He must not be discovered at this time, otherwise he would definitely die miserably!

 “What’s going on, Severus?”

"Maybe some people think Christmas is too boring and want to have some fun..." Snape said coldly: "It's so fun to keep everyone awake. No matter who it is, I will give him a buck." percentage!"

 “Two professors…”

At this time, Filch also came here. He said loudly while he was still on the stairs: "Someone was in the library just now, or in the restricted area, and I found a broken oil lamp there!"

“Walking at night, going to the forbidden book area, causing chaos and waking everyone up...Two hundred points will be deducted, and you will be detained for a month!” Professor McGonagall was obviously very angry.

"Restricted Book Zone?" Snape sneered: "Then he can't go far, we will definitely catch him!"

 “Leave the arresting matter to Argus.”

Professor McGonagall frowned and said, "Severus, before that, we have to solve the immediate problem, otherwise the students may not be able to sleep all night.

 Oh my god, how did they get into the castle? "

Kyle noticed that the voices of the two people were getting closer and closer. He was sure that his Disillusionment Spell would not be able to hide it from the two professors. As long as they turned a corner, they would find him immediately.

 He took a deep breath and began to back away step by step, trying not to make any noise.

There was a door on the right that was opened a crack. Kyle's eyes lit up and he didn't care about it anymore, so he squeezed in sideways.

 At almost the same time, Professor McGonagall and Snape also appeared in the corridor where he was just now.

 “Today’s students are really getting more and more extreme!”

“Minerva, I think we should check the dormitories to see who’s not here tonight!”

 …
