Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 313 The Discovery in the Chamber of Secrets
Although Harry and Ron didn't tell anyone about Hermione's hospitalization, her disappearance quickly attracted the attention of several Gryffindors.

They had long been used to her being in the common room, chirping and urging Ron and Harry to do their homework, and now they suddenly became quiet, and they were still a little uncomfortable.

Ron insisted that he didn't know at first, but the Weasleys knew their little brother (brother) so well that they got the words out of his mouth in a few words.

……

"So, Hermione is at the school hospital?"

"Oh..." Ron groaned covering his face, knowing that he would not speak.

"Could it be another attack?" Percy stood up abruptly from the sofa, "Don't leave here, I'll inform the professor!" After that, he was about to run out the door.

Ron and Harry stopped him hastily.

"It's not an attack, it has nothing to do with the Chamber of Secrets!" Harry said hurriedly.

"Not an attack?" Percy glanced suspiciously at Harry and Ron who were hugging their legs.

"Not really!"

"I promise!"

Under the persuasion of the two, Percy finally sat back down again.

Fred and George looked at the nervous Ron playfully, but didn't say anything, just looked at each other and quickly completed some kind of communication.

……

On the morning of the third day of the holiday, when Kyle was about to leave after visiting Hermione, he ran into sneaky Fred and George at the door.

"What are you doing in the school hospital?"

"We have a cold!" Fred blurted out.

"Come here to get a refreshing potion." George coughed twice pretendingly.

Kyle raised an eyebrow.

They are so red-faced, they don't look like they have a cold at all, most likely they found out that Hermione was hospitalized and came here to find out about the situation.

"What about you, Kyle, are you visiting someone in the school hospital?" Fred asked.

"Oh, I'm also here to get the refreshing potion." Kyle said loudly, and took out a small bottle filled with red potion.

Hermione obviously didn't want anyone to know that she had turned into a cat.

In order to prevent these two people from talking to me in the future, the best way is to pretend not to know.

"What a coincidence!" George laughed and said, "It's been cold recently, so pay attention to your health."

"Yeah, yeah, you guys too."

The three chatted awkwardly for a while before leaving.

By the time Fred and George entered the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey had covered Hermione's ward with a curtain, and they saw nothing.

On the other hand, Kyle, who returned to the castle, originally wanted to go to the library.

But when he got near the entrance hall, he happened to see Peeves flying around the castle chasing Myrtle with a bunch of balloons.

Ever since the bloody Barrow was attacked, Peeves has completely become lawless, chasing the ghost or kicking out the student all day long, and he will only restrain himself a little in front of the professor.

And Myrtle is one of Peeves' favorite objects to tease.

Kyle couldn't figure it out either, why Myrtle was afraid of Peeves' balloon, that thing couldn't hit her at all, okay?

But it's also a good opportunity.

After they flew away, Kyle immediately changed direction and came to the empty bathroom.

Based on past experience, the chase between Peeves and Myrtle lasted at least an hour, during which time he could just go to the Chamber of Secrets.

Kyle opened the pipe in Parseltongue and jumped in, and came to the end of the passage with ease.

The door of the secret room opened slowly, and Kyle carefully stepped onto the black floor with his wand in hand.

Before he left last time, the stone he stuck by the door had disappeared, and it was certain that someone had visited the secret room during this time.

Kyle looked around carefully.

The good news is that there is no other person here except him, so you don't need to worry about someone popping up suddenly and attacking you.

But under the Slytherin statue, there were some scattered snake sloughs and an obvious drag mark.

There was still some wet slime on it, sort of like the tracks left by a Flobber caterpillar crawling across the floor, but much bigger than that.

Seeing this drag mark and snake slough, Kyle knew that the basilisk must have come out.

But who is it... Kyle stood up.Thinking carefully about all the things that happened recently...

The chamber of secrets was silent, eerie, and the snake eyes carved on the pillars, as well as the statue of Slytherin, seemed to be watching Kyle.

But Kyle didn't care about this, he paced back and forth while thinking.

Before that, he asked Myrtle several times, but the other party said that he hadn't seen anyone else enter the bathroom.

But Myrtle is not always right. Although she lives in the bathroom, she doesn't stay in the cubicle all the time.

But why didn't the props he set up move? Could it be that there is another entrance... Or that the person who released the basilisk didn't enter through the door?

"Boom..."

Suddenly there was another sound that was completely different from the footsteps in the secret room.

Kyle was awakened suddenly, and immediately drew out his wand and pointed it in the direction of the door, but he soon realized that the sound came from under his feet.

Kyle lifted his foot.Only then did I realize that I accidentally stepped on a piece of snake slough when I was pacing just now.

"Scare me."

Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he reached out to pick up the snake slough, he suddenly found something else underneath.

A golden chain...

Kyle picked it up quickly.

The chain was less than two inches long, and was joined together by several small golden snakes, and there were signs of being torn on both sides. It seemed that it must have been torn from something intact.

"Is this left by the person holding the diary?"

Seeing those little snakes, Kyle immediately thought of Slytherin.

Who makes them like snakes the most, whether it is clothes or accessories, this kind of decoration is indispensable.

As long as you pick up something with a snake pattern in Hogwarts, don't think about it, it must be Slytherin's.

But... Kyle carefully looked at the half of the chain.

Although the snake buckles connected together are small, they are lifelike. Even the scales on the body are clearly visible, as if they are alive. One can tell at a glance that this thing is definitely not cheap.

Slytherin... and money?

Draco Malfoy?

Kyle subconsciously thought of Harry's old rival.

But soon he shook his head.

No... Malfoy had been at the Great Hall for dinner the whole time on Halloween, and he didn't have time to unleash the basilisk to attack Filch.

Besides, Lucius Malfoy probably wouldn't let him participate.

But who would it be if he wasn't...

Kyle rubbed the chain, and thought of the names of several other people, Millicent Burst, Daphne Greengrass, Pansy Parkinson...or Crabbe, Goyle?
