The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 575 Tom Knows

Colin Creevey had just left the Gryffindor common room on the front foot, and Albert came down from his dormitory on the back foot.

Tonight, he added some ingredients to the milk tea of ​​his roommates, and asked them to go back to rest after eating their supper and drinking the milk tea.

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all slept so deeply that they would not wake up in the middle of the night, much less realize that their roommate suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night.

When Albert left the common room, he did not forget to raise his wand and look at the portrait of the fat lady, the lady in charge of the door, who went out to drop by.

"So that's what he meant." Albert muttered, turned and walked forward quickly, disappearing into the deep darkness at the end of the promenade.

A few minutes later, Albert pushed open the door of the Room of Requirement, sat in the brightly lit room, spread the Marauder's map on the table, and stared at Colin's location.

Colin Creevey walked very slowly. It was probably his first night tour. He walked with trepidation every step of the way, and he has just reached the seventh floor of the castle.

Albert believed that Tom Riddle was hiding in the secret room at this time, monitoring the entire castle with a mantra to determine the location of the Mudblood, and to avoid hitting the professor who was patrolling the castle when he released the basilisk to wander. .

From a certain point of view, Tom's approach is quite perfect, almost at the same time completing the attack, he perfectly hides the basilisk monster.

However, Tom could never have imagined that such a perfect attack was completely seen through by Albert from the very beginning.

Travelers can sometimes do whatever they want.

When Albert came down from the dormitory, he had already used a strong shielding spell on himself.

That was the result of his continuous efforts in the past half month. With the blessing of the panel skills and his own continuous efforts, Albert finally succeeded before Tom Riddle controlled Ginny Weasley to complete the second attack. Use the Shielding Charm to block his own existence so that his name and footprints will not appear on the map where the Tracing Charm has been cast.

Yes, Tom Riddle didn't know anything about it. He regarded Albert as prey, but he didn't know that the other party had already regarded him as prey.

At this moment, the Slytherin heir is staying in the underground pipeline with Ginny Weasley, who is under his control, monitoring the movements of the mudblood through the map presented in the diary.

Not long ago, Tom learned from Ginny that there was a Mudblood named Colin who planned to visit Harry in the middle of the night, and when he invited her to go with him, Tom had already decided to deal with that pesky Mudblood.

It was a rare opportunity, Tom knew that the cat that attacked the Squib last time didn't let the school students realize that the Chamber of Secrets had been reopened and the Slytherin heir had returned.

At that time, Tom realized that he had to let the Basilisk kill a Mudblood or two, and let the Mudbloods of the school feel the fear of being dominated by the Slytherin heir again.

Ginny Weasley hissed, soothing the restless basilisk behind him.

Since being woken from hibernation by Tom, the basilisk has been cranky.

It's hungry.

Those mice in the underground pipes simply can't feed it. Tom couldn't control Ginny to get food for the basilisk, and there was no need for it. For him, the basilisk was just a tool for his purpose.

Tom Riddle's old serpent tune makes grumpy basilisks obediently obey his commands.

On the map of the diary, the footprints of the mudblood were marked, and they had already approached the school hospital on the second floor of the castle.

As for Squib Master Filch?

Before entering the secret room, Tom had already visited the other party, and Filch was now lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, and would not wake up for six or seven hours.

When Colin Creevey approached the school hospital, Tom controlled the basilisk to leave the Slytherin chamber and started the hunt tonight.

He's looking forward, looking forward to how the Mudbloods at Hogwarts will react after tonight's attack.

At this moment, Colin Creevey was unaware that he had been targeted. The reason for his rapid heartbeat was more because the darkness around him and the coldness of the air made him feel uncomfortable, but the lantern in his hand failed to give him a sense of security.

Moreover, Colin was still a little worried, worried that he was wandering around the castle in the middle of the night, being caught by the professors and deducting a lot of points, making all Harry's efforts on the court in vain.

When Colin was about to walk through the stairs at the end of the Transfiguration classroom corridor and head towards the school hospital, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.

What is that sound?

Perhaps it was the courage of the Gryffindor House students that kept Colin from turning away immediately.

In Colin's impression, there is no danger in Hogwarts Castle. If there is danger, can it still be called a school?

Do not sleep at night, wandering in the castle, at most, is caught by professors, deducted points and confinement.

However, that rustling voice was obviously not the footsteps of the professors.

Colin did not leave, but waited for the sound to approach. He had heard some senior students say that Hogwarts has a lot of interesting things, such as getting up at night and walking around at night, and there is a chance of encountering knight armor patrolling the corridor .

Perhaps, today is his lucky day.

Something incredible happened to me at Hogwarts.

Colin suddenly got a little excited, put the lantern in his hand on the ground, took off the camera from his neck, and prepared to take a picture of this scene.

The rustling voice was getting closer.

The moment the owner of the voice crossed the corner, Colin quickly pressed the camera button, the flash of the camera lit up in the dark corridor, and a huge snake came into view.

"what!"

Colin's eyes widened involuntarily, the stunned expression completely solidified on his face, and the voice stopped abruptly for the first time.

Colin Creevey was petrified by the basilisk.

In a way, Colin Creevey was lucky.

Because the eyes of the basilisk were seen through the camera, he was not directly killed by the eyes of the basilisk, but only petrified.

He fell back and hit the steps behind him.

In Professor McGonagall's office not far from here, Professor McGonagall, who had just finished correcting the students' homework and lay down to rest, got up from the bed immediately after hearing the cry.

At this moment, Professor McGonagall's face was very ugly, apparently a student wandered around the castle without sleep in the middle of the night.

She quickly put on her cloak, picked up her wand, and hurried out of the office when she heard a strange rustling sound at the end of the corridor, as if something was dragging on the ground.

"What's that sound?"

Professor McGonagall immediately became vigilant and walked forward. She soon found Colin Creevey lying stiff on the ground, and she couldn't help feeling a shudder. Professor McGonagall immediately raised his wand and looked warily at the end of the corridor.

The voice just now was most likely a monster in the secret room.

After hesitating for a moment, she quickly followed the direction of the sound, and when she passed the first corner, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

"What's the matter, Minerva, I heard a cry just now."

Dumbledore in pajamas appeared in front of Professor McGonagall without warning.
