The day of the duel at Hogwarts

At the end of the last class on Friday, the second-year students, no matter which college they were from, were basically having fun. Sean and Blaise came to the library as usual and stayed until dinner time.

After dinner, Blaise went to find his senior girlfriend, while Sean took the ingredients from Andy and went to the Room of Requirement to brew the potion.

Tomorrow night was when he and Andy left Hogwarts for Hogsmeade. His excuse was ready and he wanted to follow Andy to buy the ingredients for Polyjuice Potion for Harry and the others.

Although this matter could be left to Andy directly, Andy was a little confused because of this. However, Sean used the excuse that he had been troubled by brewing potions recently and wanted to go out for a walk. As soon as he heard this excuse, Andy immediately shut up and did as he pleased. Yes, Sean agreed to all of his requests.

I walked out of the Room of Requirement with my back aching.

Sean took the brewed potion and prepared to return to the Slytherin common room.

But when he reached the second floor, a strange feeling lingered in Sean's heart, and he frowned slightly. Without any hesitation, Sean immediately walked towards the Slytherin common room.

But at this moment, Peeves suddenly rushed out from behind, shouting loudly as he flew: "Dead, dead, the little first-year Ravenclaw girl is dead, dead, dead, pull The little first-grade girl from Winclaw died..."

Ravenclaw?

First grade?

died?

In a flash of thought, Sean immediately realized something. He pulled out his wand and ran in the direction where Peeves was rushing.

When Sean arrived, Harry and Ron were already standing there. They looked at the bloody words on the wall, then looked at Sean who had just arrived, and opened their mouths to say something, but at this moment, More people rushed over because of Peeves' shouting. They saw Sean and Harry standing here, and they also saw a first-year Ravenclaw lying on the ground as if he was dead. girl.

Luna Lovegood!

Ignoring those who came over, Sean immediately stepped forward to check on Luna lying on the ground.

After a brief inspection, Sean found that Luna was only petrified and did not die under the eyes of the basilisk.

Looking up and looking around, Sean immediately saw the armor standing in the corner. The armor was wiped spotless and could almost be used as a mirror. Seeing this armor, Sean knew that Luna must have been here just now. The sight of the basilisk was seen on the armor, but due to the reflection of the armor, Luna was only petrified but not killed.

Sean stood up and turned to look around.

At this time, he had a question in his mind.

Including the original work, including now.

Everyone who looks at the basilisk, or ghosts and cats, does not look directly at the basilisk, but indirectly sees the basilisk's eyes. So now there is a question here. What is the problem? Is it simply a coincidence, or is there some other secret behind this incident?

Is there someone, or some kind of force, that is influencing the basilisk, or is it preventing the basilisk from looking directly at the victim? After all, the petrification caused by indirect gaze can be lifted. If you really look directly at the basilisk, Even if all the mandrake roots in Hogwarts were used, it would be impossible to save him.

Dumbledore?

After thinking about it, he is the only one in Hogwarts, right?

Or is there another force protecting the people here in Hogwarts?

But if he really had such power, then why could Voldemort release the Basilisk and kill Moaning Myrtle?

Am I overthinking it?

Are these really just coincidences?

"Sean, is she, is she okay?"

Looking at Harry, Sean shook his head and said: "Of course she is fine, but she is currently petrified and there is still a possibility of rescue. She has not been attacked and killed, but she may have to miss most of this year's courses. ”

"Mr. Bursted is right, Miss Lovegood may really be missing more than half of her classes this year."

As the words fell, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and other deans and professors rushed over, including Lockhart. When he saw the situation here, he immediately wanted to come to the front to show off his strength. However, when he saw Sean, he immediately stopped, turned a corner very naturally, and stood behind Dumbledore, blocking Sean's view.

Of course Sean saw Lockhart, but Sean didn't want to pay attention to him. He turned to look at Dumbledore. Sean bowed slightly, then bowed to the other professors and said, "Hello, professors, I This was what it was like when Harry and the others came here.

Oh, by the way, I came here because I heard Peeves shouting. Maybe the professors can know something from Peeves. "

While talking, Sean paid attention to the people coming from behind. He clearly saw Millicent standing outside the crowd. At this time, Millicent's face had a flush, and he was breathing heavily. It looked like it was caused by nervousness or running too fast, but Sean knew very well that this guy looked like he was excited about having such consequences for himself.

I got the diary on Thursday night, and couldn't wait to start working on it on Friday night. I really don't know whether I should say that the diary is too anxious, or that Millicent's bottom line is too low.

Dumbledore looked at Sean, nodded slightly, and said: "Thank you, Mr. Bursted, you have helped us a lot, then...

Severus, Minerva, Filius, and Pomona, take the students from your respective houses back and ask them to stay in their common rooms and not to move around at will. The attackers may still be active outside. As for this place ,give it to me……"

"And me, just leave it to me."

Dumbledore paused for a moment. He ignored Lockhart and continued: "I will send Miss Lovegood to Poppy. She will receive good treatment. In addition..."

At this time, Dumbledore looked at the dean of Hufflepuff, Professor Sputraw of Herbology, and continued: "Pomona, what I told you before, please complete it as soon as possible. "

"Dumbledore, I thought you could leave the potion matter to me..."

Before Snape could finish speaking, Dumbledore said to him: "Severus, you have more important things to do. Let Pomona do it first this time. She happens to be very interested in Mann." We have a deep understanding of the Drak root and should be able to complete the preparation of the potion.”
