Hogwarts Mental Rehabilitation Center

"It's probably just a prank. You should go back and rest first."

"What about you? Aren't you going back?"

Travis smiled slightly and pointed at Filch.

"Filch helped me a lot. I went to help him wipe off the ink."

With that said, Travis lifted up his invisibility cloak and walked towards Filch.

Filch was working very hard, and there was only one oil lamp for poor lighting, so he didn't notice Travis' arrival at all.

On the other hand, Mrs. Norris saw Travis, but she just glanced at him and continued to accompany Filch quietly without any yelling.

"Do you need help?"

Filch was startled for a moment, and when he saw it was Travis, he waved his hands impatiently.

"Go, go, go, stay out of the way."

Travis was instantly happy.

This Filch seemed to have given up on him completely and didn't even care if he came out for a walk in the middle of the night.

"Are you sure? This is magic ink. You can't wipe it off even if you wipe it until dawn." Travis said.

"none of your business!"

Filch glared at Travis and wiped harder.

"Has your mouth been opened to the public in the Huang Temple? It's really smelly and hard."

After teasing Filch, Travis took out his wand and helped Filch clean the writing on the wall.

Filch stopped what he was doing, threw the rag into the bucket, snorted and walked away.

"It seems like he was hit."

Looking at Filch's leaving figure, Travis felt helpless.

In fact, it is not easy to think about Filch. A person who has no magic at all stays in a castle full of wizards. This kind of psychological gap turns into torture. If it were an ordinary person, he would have become a psychopath.

Although Filch also has psychopathic tendencies, he has not become a complete psychopath after staying there for so many years, which shows his strong psychological endurance.

Although he is often vulnerable in many aspects, in some aspects he can definitely bear the title of strong man.

A strong man who is seriously partial to science and has a fatal weakness.

Looking back, Travis continued to help Filch clean the wall, humming as he did so.

On the other side, Harry followed Travis's words and returned to the dormitory.

After walking less than 300 meters, Harry suddenly stopped.

"It's not right, something's not right."

"If Travis knew all along that the writing on the wall was in ink and was a prank, then why did he come here tonight? Just to keep me company?"

"To accompany me, why did he pretend to sleep before?"

Harry noticed something was wrong with Travis' behavior, which made no logical sense at all.

Thinking of this, Harry hurried back and almost bumped into Filch who was striding towards him - luckily he dodged in time.

Returning to the original place, Harry was relieved to see that Travis was still cleaning the writing on the wall without leaving.

Without making a sound or getting closer, Harry waited quietly with his invisibility cloak on.

He decided to stalk Travis today!

However, Harry soon became disappointed.

When Travis finished cleaning the writing on the wall, electric light emitted from his body and disappeared.

Harry hurried over, only to see a dissipating arc of electricity.

"Damn it! Travis definitely knows something!" Harry gritted his teeth: "I must ask him carefully tomorrow!"

Harry didn't think that Travis had written it at all, but was convinced that Travis knew something that he didn't.

It might be gratifying if Travis knew what Harry was thinking, but Travis didn't know.

Travis only knew that Harry was suspicious of him!

"The Three Deathly Hallows are man-made after all and are not perfect."

Travis chuckled and continued to move forward quickly.

He knew that Harry had just come back. He didn't find Harry, he just felt it.

The invisibility cloak is worthy of the name of the Three Hallows of Death. Even Travis' echolocation cannot detect the invisibility cloak.

However, the invisibility cloak has a big shortcoming. It cannot isolate the eyes of the people inside. When the people inside are staring at a person, the people being stared at outside can detect the abnormality if their sixth sense is sharp. , especially when the people inside are emotionally excited.

Harry didn't know this, and Travis also borrowed the invisibility cloak and studied it for a long time before confirming it.

If Travis uses the invisibility cloak, this shortcoming can be ignored. He can control his emotions and gaze very well.

Running until it felt impossible for Harry to catch up, Travis slowed down and resumed wandering around the castle at a normal pace.

While wandering around, I used echolocation to search a wide area for possible basilisks.

The basilisk staying in the secret room is protected by magic, and Travis's echolocation cannot locate it, but as long as it dares to come out, Travis is confident enough to find it and kill it.

"It's too risky to capture a basilisk alive, but it's not difficult to kill it or temporarily trap it."

Eighty percent of the basilisk's power lies in its eyes. As long as you don't look at its eyes, its body is no better than a fire dragon, or even worse than a fire dragon.

An adult fire dragon can be dealt with with just one Poké Ball, let alone a basilisk.

But Travis searched for a long time but could not find any trace of the basilisk.

"Did you go back to the secret room after today's activities, or... haven't been released at all?"

Travis frowned.

Today is the first day of school. Theoretically speaking, it is indeed possible that the basilisk has not been released yet, and writing now may be just a bluff.

"Whether the basilisk was released or not there is one question, who released it?"

This question is more important, but more difficult to determine.

Travis could only speculate that Voldemort had sneaked into Hogwarts again.

"It stands to reason that Malfoy has put a Horcrux into Hogwarts... Of course, he may not know that it is a Horcrux."

"But whether he knew it or not, at least he had carried out the conspiracy. Even if he knew that the notebook fell into my hands, he could not know what I did with the notebook."

"That means he should not engage in other conspiracies."

"Now that the situation has definitely changed, it can only mean that he or Voldemort knows that something happened to the note - then it can only be that Voldemort knows."

Travis didn't think Voldemort would tell Malfoy about something as important as a Horcrux, and if he didn't tell Malfoy, plus the importance of the Horcrux, Voldemort would be even less likely to do so when there was already an accident with a Horcrux. Activate another Horcrux.

If the Chamber of Secrets could be opened without using the Horcrux, then Voldemort could only sneak into Hogwarts by relying on his own immortality.

"But how did Voldemort sneak in this time? Did he sneak in alone? Or did he possess some unlucky guy like last time?"

Travis prefers the latter, but he doesn't know who Voldemort will possess. There are too many choices.

Most likely it was Draco, but other students were also possible, including but not limited to those in Slytherin.

"Go back and take a closer look at Draco. If there is nothing unusual, then we may have to check which of the other students went out on vacation during the holidays."

Travis sighed and wandered to the kitchen again.

After a night of activity, it’s time to add some nutrition.
