HP: The Blood Prince of Hogwarts

Chapter 45 The Petrified Hermione

The Valentine's Day incident passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was May. Nothing had happened in the school for such a long time, which made everyone feel relieved.

Hermione never gave up her research on the basilisk.

That day she found in a book that the basilisk attacks people mainly through the eyes, so as long as you don't look directly into the basilisk's eyes, you will not die.

This would explain why those people were petrified.

Mrs. Norris is through the reflection of the water on the ground, Colin is through the camera lens, and Justin is through the ghost…

And Nearly Headless Nick can't die again because he's a ghost.

Next, as long as we figure out the basilisk's movements, we can basically avoid the risks.

Suddenly, an idea flashed across her mind and she excitedly planned to go find Olga.

The next time Olga saw Hermione was at Madam Pomfrey's - she was petrified.

how so…

She didn't even sense the crisis in Hermione.

Professor McGonagall handed Olga a small mirror.

"It was found in the presence of Miss Granger."

Professor McGonagall's voice was a little heavy. Dumbledore's absence from school had put her under a lot of pressure, and now something was wrong with her students in her college...

Olga took the mirror without saying a word. For the first time, she began to doubt her own abilities.

It was then that Harry, Ron and Zero rushed into the infirmary.

"How could she, Hermione, be petrified?" Ron was a little incoherent.

No one could answer him.

"She was in a hurry to go to the library this morning... I thought nothing would happen... I would have gone with her if I had known... The Quidditch game didn't go through... Hermione got into trouble again..."

Ron kept muttering, with a rare expression of self-blame on his face.

"You didn't know this would happen."

Harry could only comfort Ron dryly, and his mood was not much better.

Zero walked to Olga and stopped, silently holding her hand to comfort her. He could see that Her Highness was in a bad mood at the moment.

"Why, why can't I feel it?"

Olga looked at Zero with a bewildered look on her face.

"Is it because Hermione is too confident in my abilities that she was careless for a moment?"

"I probably overestimated my own abilities and shouldn't have given others hope for nothing."

Olga fell into a state of constant self-proving, she really couldn't figure it out.

Zero hugged her distressedly.

"No, no, it was just an accident. Maybe Hermione's petrification happened in an instant. You couldn't feel it because it wasn't life-threatening..."

"Don't worry, the mandrake will soon mature, and then Madam Pomfrey will be able to wake up all the petrified people. Everything will be revealed."

Zero whispered soothing words into Olga's ear while patting her back.

Ginny was worried that Hermione would come, but she happened to see this scene and almost couldn't help screaming.

Is this what she can see?! She has no future!

It was a pity that Hermione didn't get to witness this moment.

She thought about what happened to Hermione and felt depressed again.

I don’t know when the matter in the secret room will be over.

Ginny suddenly realized that Hermione's hand looked wrong, and she instinctively opened Hermione's tightly clenched hand and found a note.

"Look! Hermione left a note!"

She shouted excitedly to several people.

--tube.

Olga suddenly realized, yes, where could the basilisk move freely without being discovered?

If it's a pipe...

She suddenly thought of something and broke free from Zero's arms.

Mirrors...Pipes...Petrochemicals...

Draco said that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets would clean up the Muggles in Hogwarts, but so far, the people who have been affected have only been petrified, and the petrification state is solvable, which means...

Being petrified does not mean being attacked!

No, or rather...

She looked at the mirror in her hand, changed the angle, and saw in the mirror - Zero's eyes.

Eye!

First of all, it can be confirmed that the basilisk has no magic, otherwise only a few people would have been affected so far.

So, apart from sound, the only thing that can have an invisible impact on people is sight.

Harry was fine after hearing the sound so many times, which means that the sound has no effect on people. The answer can only be -

eye.

Olga guessed that the basilisk's eyes probably could not be looked directly into, otherwise it would die on the spot.

"Remember to carry a mirror with you when you go out next time. Use the mirror to check everything before you continue walking when you turn a corner."

Harry: "What do you mean?"

"The basilisk is in the pipe and there's something wrong with its eyes." Olga said concisely.

Since the basilisk can travel through the sewer pipes...

"I guess the entrance to the secret room is in some bathroom."

Olga added.

Professor McGonagall listened to Olga's calm analysis in shock. She didn't expect that the child could make so many assumptions based on just an object and a note.

"Professor McGonagall... perhaps you know the details of how Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets?"

Olga looked at Professor McGonagall, who had been silent. As the deputy headmistress of Hogwarts, she must know more.

Professor McGonagall recalled the situation at that time. When Hagrid was found, there were only his body and that of another female student at the scene.

"Because Hagrid likes to deal with magical animals, and there are indeed traces of large creatures at the scene...but at that time everyone thought the monster in the chamber was a spider."

Professor McGonagall felt a little regretful, as she had always believed that Hagrid could not be the heir to the Chamber of Secrets.

"Who is that female student?"

"Myrtle Elizabeth Warren."

Harry and Ron's eyes widened.

Harry: "Wait, Professor, is that Myrtle?"

Professor McGonagall glanced at Harry and said, "That Myrtle."

"After Hagrid was arrested, this kind of thing still happened in the school. Doesn't it just prove that Hagrid is innocent?" said Olga.

Professor McGonagall nodded, but her mood was still very low.

"The problem now is no longer the instigator. Accidents have occurred one after another in the school. Hogwarts may face closure."

Now Harry was completely unable to sit still. He didn't want to go back to the Dursleys.

"No! Professor, we will definitely find a way!"

Harry rushed out as he spoke. Ron and Zero were worried that he might get into an accident, so they apologized to Olga and Professor McGonagall and followed him.

Ginny opened her mouth but no sound came out. Of those three people, one was the person she had a crush on, one was her brother, and the other was her friend.

She was worried, but there was nothing she could do.

I hope you grow up quickly.

Ginny thought.

"All students please return to your respective college dormitories immediately, and all teachers please return to the staff lounge. Please act immediately."

Snape's voice rang out, filling the entire school.

Olga was still staring at Hermione in a daze, but was suddenly interrupted by the voice.

She looked at Professor McGonagall, who was still a little confused.

"I'll see you off."

***

The more I write, the more confused I become, so let me say a few words.

I've been really busy recently, so we've had less interaction.

I can't see the comments on the mobile app, maybe it's to protect the author hhh

There are very few book reviews but I have read them all. It is hard to understand why people say Xiaoduo is ooc.

Because whether in the original novel or the movie, Theodore is a marginal character with very little space in the story, almost nothing. It was only because of some meal replacements and Orange Light games that he gradually became popular in the fan circle.

And if I remember correctly, I was writing a fan fiction, or an otome novel.

It’s just because I really like reading fan fiction, and I couldn’t find the setting I wanted, so I decided to write my own.

Purely generate electricity for love.

It's impossible not to be ooc, not in this lifetime.

Who wouldn’t pretend in front of the person they like? And I’m a super invincible country boy who just loves to be a charmer.

They are all marked in the introduction, so you don’t have to read it if you don’t like it.

Forgive me for being a little sensitive.

There will be no more male protagonists in the main storyline. I don’t have the experience to write about them, hahaha.

At that time, we will decide which characters to publish in the extra chapters based on everyone's support rate. It is likely that the CP will not be determined in the main storyline.

After some reflection, it seems that the pace is too slow, so I will try to speed it up in the later stage.

This is my first post so I will definitely finish it, even if no one reads it I will definitely finish it! ! ! !

I swear here that I will never cheat.

However, I will be going to Japan in May, so I will try my best to stock up on manuscripts so that I can publish them every day.

If I really stop updating, it must be because I really can’t write.
