Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 137 Spider Early Warning Device

In the evening, the Hufflepuff common room was enlarged several times as usual, with tables neatly placed in the room, with a dazzling variety of food on them. The students still wore regular clothes or pajamas and walked among the long tables to eat freely, or sat together in twos and threes to chat.

Many students among them still looked worried, and they only took a few symbolic bites of food before making any movement. Fortunately, driven by the friends around them and the atmosphere of the entire banquet, their eyes slowly regained some sparkle, and they gradually began to talk and laugh with the people around them.

"...It's so enviable."

In the corner of the room, Baron was sitting on a high stool with a suitcase at his feet. He held up a cup of lemon tea and sipped it while sighing towards Avada beside him: "The Slytherin common room has been deserted recently, and it is more than enough to be used as a library."

"why is that?"

Avada didn't understand for a while - theoretically speaking, shouldn't the Slytherin student who is the safest and least likely to be wronged by "Castle Will" be the most comfortable at the moment?

"Most of the students who are the most enthusiastic about blood theories are wandering around the corridors to show off their pure blood recognized by Hogwarts... I met a few when I came here, and they looked arrogant. An arrogant look."

Baron sighed: "There are not many people like that in Slytherin. If my grades hadn't been good and I had earned a lot of points for the college, I would have been targeted by them. And once they left, the rest Most of them are people who are dissatisfied with the current situation, so naturally they are not in the mood to relax and chat..."

"Forget it, let's not mention this. Let me show you the good thing I made... Let's move it to the side. That thing is not suitable for display in front of a group of students who are singing and dancing to enjoy the banquet."

He stood up, picked up his suitcase, and moved to a position further to the side.

Avada also followed him with his dinner plate, and then not only took a curious look at the suitcase - if he saw it correctly, there seemed to be a living creature in it, and it was just an ordinary animal, not owned. Magical creatures with magical structures...

Could it be that he picked up some strange creature from the Forbidden Forest? But what's so strange about ordinary animals?

"Are you still convinced that it was a basilisk that caused the students to become petrified, and not some castle will?"

Baron leaned forward and asked Avada in a mysterious low voice.

"certainly."

Avada nodded in confusion - after Snape confirmed it himself, he no longer had any doubts.

"That's good."

Baron nodded and showed a proud smile: "After learning about the basilisk from you, I went to the library to check out a lot of information about the basilisk, and also asked for a picture from Professor Kettleburn. I went to the forbidden book section to collect some information, and also wrote to my family to ask for some books on dangerous creatures..."

"And in the process, I learned a strange knowledge: Although the basilisk is an extremely fatal threat to almost all other creatures, there is a kind of animal-not even a magical creature, but it is particularly afraid of the basilisk. , even so scared that they directly evolved the ability to sense the basilisk. Once they find that a basilisk appears near them, they will try their best to escape..."

"spider!"

Avada was so excited that she almost couldn't control her voice - he knew Baron had come up with something!

Damn it, why didn't he think of it before?

"Yes, it's a spider!"

Seeing Avada's excited expression, Baron couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He felt quite satisfied that he had met a close friend: "So, if we can make use of this characteristic of spiders, can't we make a spider?" A precise basilisk warning device?"

"And spiders are not difficult to get. You can give one to Muggle-born students, so that they can close their eyes and run away as soon as they see any movement in their spiders..."

"...You are a genius."

Avada praised: "I don't know how many people you can save with this idea."

At this moment, his admiration for Balon was unprecedented - even after learning the characteristics and weaknesses of the basilisk from himself, he still tirelessly searched for information about the basilisk on his own, trying to find a way to save more people. Finally, he found out the details that even he, a time traveler, had overlooked, and it was also the most suitable way to deal with the current situation!

The basilisk itself can have its ears sealed to be immune to the crow of the cock, and wear a blindfold to resist the eye disease spell - but as long as it is alive, it cannot be bypassed by the spider's perception!

Unless the school board and the diary wipe out all the spiders in the castle and the Forbidden Forest to make Ron ecstatic, this flaw will always exist!

"Actually, at the beginning, when Snape said that it was the will of the castle that petrified the students, I also doubted it for a while. After all, the rooster's crow did not work..."

He simply stopped hiding his proud expression: "And it wasn't until a classmate of mine who had a spider pet complained that his spider had been in poor condition recently that I recalled that subtle knowledge point. Then after investigating After some research and discovering that many people’s spider pets had similar problems, I once again confirmed that the murderer was a basilisk.”

"Then you go to the Forbidden Forest..."

"Catch spiders."

Baron shrugged: "There are too many spiders, and there are too few spiders. I usually see a lot of them, but when I really want to look for them, I can't find one for a long time... Then I remembered when I was in the first grade. Didn't we discover a colony of Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest? I plan to go there and catch some..."

"You broke into the Acromantula's lair alone?!" Avada looked at him with a strange look on his face.

"How is it possible? I don't want to feed myself to spiders. I just wandered around and caught a few small Acromantulas that were alone. I've been taking them around for the past few days to scout. During the test of the basilisk, I also dealt with some half-dead spiders that had been tortured to death, so I had to go to the Forbidden Forest regularly to replenish materials... I didn't go back and forth without getting caught."

"Then why didn't you tell the professor who caught you that you were saving the school?"

"Because I still have a lot of unresolved problems, which is why I came to you."

The expression on Baron's face gradually faded, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Since the Acromantulas I captured basically resisted violently and tried to escape when they caught an opportunity, I couldn't judge what happened to them. Is the violent reaction because I sensed the basilisk, or simply wanted to escape from my hands. After all, it seems that I am a greater threat to them than the basilisk..."

"I've been trying to solve this problem for the past few days, but to no avail."
