Hogwarts Crawler.

"Adam, what on earth did you show Lockhart that scared him like that? Let me see it."

Bernard's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Adam.

"You...are all interested?"

Adam looked at everyone. Cologne and Bernard were obviously very interested, Usher was slightly interested, and Eugene was not interested at first but after thinking about it, he decided to go along and experience it.

"Well, let's watch a horror movie together before dinner."

He drew the curtains, turned off the lights, and asked everyone to sit on the small sofas. Adam conjured five buckets of popcorn and placed them on the round table, and five cups of Coke, then summoned the Sogen card and took out the shorthand quill:

"Are you all ready?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

"Then... The Ring is about to start airing~"

Chapter 62: The Never-Stable Halloween Dinner

After the movie was over, Adam lit the lamp and turned around to see four people with different expressions.

Eugene and Colon's faces were equally devastated. Eugene could still barely maintain a proper sitting posture, but Colon had already shrunk into the small sofa.

Bernard looked frightened yet excited. Perhaps Adam had developed his horror movie lover nature.

Uther surprised Adam the most, his face was full of satisfaction.

"This form of curse is quite innovative. A video tape that says 'you will die seven days after watching it' makes me feel like many people will be curious and want to watch it."

Uther commented while eating popcorn and took a sip of Coke at the end.

He had already finished his meal while watching the movie and is now eating Cologne... This little glutton hardly touched the Coke and popcorn this time, which is really rare.

That night...

Two figures slowly got up from the bed one after another and looked at each other in the moonlight.

"…Going to the bathroom?"

"……Together?"

When he reached the door, Cologne paused as he grasped the door handle.

Even though I went to the bathroom with Eugene, we were both very scared and still felt insecure...

Looking back at the three people on the bed, Bernard seemed to be quite scared as well. Adam... always felt that he might scare them when they went to the bathroom, so it was better to find Uther.

stamp--

Poke——

"Ok?"

Uther opened his sleepy eyes and was startled to see two people standing beside the bed. He raised his upper body:

"What are you...?"

"Uther, do you want to go to the bathroom?"

"Ah? I don't want to."

Uther grabbed his hair and was about to lie back down, but suddenly Eugene and Cologne grabbed his arms one on each side:

"No, you want to."

Uther: “???”

"Wait, let me put on my pajamas--"

After going to the bathroom, Eugene and Colon fled back to bed.

Cologne breathed a sigh of relief after covering himself with the quilt, but then he felt a little embarrassed along the way and couldn't help but glare at Adam in the next bed.

As a result, he saw Adam lying on his side, staring at him with his eyes open.

Cologne:"!!!"

At that moment, Cologne's expression was so frightened that it was even a little distorted. Fortunately, he remembered that it was the middle of the night. He covered his mouth with his hands to block the scream, and then slowly shrank into the quilt.

Seeing this, Adam smiled slightly, gathered Xiaoke and Sibi together, and closed his eyes.

Hiding under the covers, huh?

I'll show you The Grudge some other day.

Uther, who was extremely sleepy, yawned and walked at the end. He glanced at Adam who was sleeping soundly surrounded by cats and shook his head.

What a sin...

The horror story that day had a far-reaching impact. At least the trip to the Forbidden Forest originally scheduled for mid-October was postponed again and again, and Halloween was just around the corner.

Colon and Eugene said they were already trying to adjust and that they would only need another half a month at most.

Perhaps it was to go to the Forbidden Forest as soon as possible, or perhaps it was because of his vague conscience that after that day, Lockhart was the only one who continued to enjoy the feast of horror that Adam had carefully prepared. And the plot became more and more exciting as the course progressed, and there were even scenes that had never appeared in Lockhart's works.

This unexpected stimulation made Lockhart, who thought he was immune to these horror stories, so "touched" that he fainted.

This time, when Cologne looked at Lockhart, there was not only schadenfreude in his eyes, but also a bit of sympathy.

"Last year's Halloween was invaded by trolls. Hopefully this year will be smoother."

Uther sighed on his way to the auditorium, and Adam's steps paused slightly.

Hiss - school has been going on for so long. At first, he focused on the Love Card to subdue the Cardless, and then he focused on dealing with Lockhart. Today, he has been busy in the kitchen. He seems to have forgotten about the Basilisk and the Horcrux...

But fortunately, at least nothing unexpected happened during the dinner.

The Hufflepuffs, except the first-year students, were surprised to find many pumpkin desserts on the table, the same as last year. Many of them were holiday specials and were not available in Adam's store at other times.

In addition, the most attractive thing in the entire auditorium is probably the fondant in the shape of Professor Dumbledore on the classroom seat. The approximately twenty-inch-high fondant reproduces Professor Dumbledore's peaceful sleeping appearance vividly, even the bow on the beard and the half-moon glasses on the bridge of the nose are exactly the same.

After the banquet, Professor Dumbledore took the lead in distributing the fondant.

"...No, I'm already full, you should enjoy it yourself."

Professor McGonagall looked at Professor Dumbledore's left hand that was handed to her by Professor Dumbledore and was silent for a moment, then politely declined.

Professor Dumbledore looked at Professor Snape again, and Professor Snape just stood up and left.

The sight continued to shift, and one professor after another hurried away before making eye contact with Professor Dumbledore, leaving only Professor Lockhart, who was caught by Professor Dumbledore because he was a step slower:

"I remember you didn't eat much just now, Lockhart, share some with me."

Professor Dumbledore had a loving smile on his face:

"Don't worry, I specifically checked with Adam that there is no magical protection on the fondant this time."

It would have been better if Professor Dumbledore didn't mention this. As soon as he mentioned Lockhart, his expression became even uglier.

Lockhart had either seen werewolves or female ghosts in the past few days, so of course he had no appetite for today's festive delicacies. Now Professor Dumbledore was teasing him about the culprit who had caused him to stay in the hospital for half a month!

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

But... eating "Dumbledore" with Dumbledore seems to be a good gimmick. Maybe he can make the headlines after a long time?

Thinking of this, Lockhart suppressed his dissatisfaction and forced a smile - thanks to his experiences during this period, Lockhart's ability to fake a smile has become increasingly better.

"Of course Professor Dumbledore, I would be happy to..."

"Ahhhh-"

A sudden scream interrupted Lockhart's words. Mixed with a burst of commotion, Professor Dumbledore stood up and strode towards the direction where the sound came from.

Lockhart looked a little unhappy, but he quickly followed.

That was the corridor outside the auditorium leading to the main hall. The open space between the two windows was now surrounded by many classmates.

Professor McGonagall had already taken control of the situation when Professor Dumbledore arrived. When he arrived, the witch stepped forward with a serious expression:

"Albus..."

Professor Dumbledore followed Professor McGonagall's gaze and looked at the wall to the side. There were two lines of twisted words written on it with some kind of liquid:

The secret room has been opened,

Be wary of those who are enemies of the heir.

At the bottom of the wall was a petrified Mrs. Norris, held by a heartbroken Filch.

With a flash of thought in his eyes, Professor Dumbledore calmly comforted Professor McGonagall:

"Don't worry, everyone...I'll get to the bottom of the situation."

The sense of security brought by the greatest wizard of this century was incredibly amazing. When Professor Dumbledore said this, Adam could feel that the students around him were relieved.

Chapter 63: The Legend of the Secret Chamber, the Future Should Change

Because Filch pointed out that this incident must have been done by Harry Potter, Professor Dumbledore had to take them all away. Although the people who were left behind dispersed, they also started discussing what had just happened.

"The Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts... is there really such a thing?"

Eugene frowned.

"what is that?"

Uther looked at him curiously.

"A legend about Hogwarts... You all should know that the founders of Hogwarts, the first four deans, had different requirements for selecting students."

"I know this. I learned about it in the History of Magic class last semester. The Sorting Hat also continues the philosophy of the four founders to sort students into houses."

Cologne took the initiative to answer.

"Well, so in the legend, the four founders had a fierce argument over the bloodline of their students. Salazar Slytherin only wanted to recruit pure-blood students, while the other three were against it."

"Only recruiting pure-blood students... Isn't that difficult to do?"

Uther was a little surprised. Even in their Egyptian wizarding world, there were only a few families left who had remained pure-blooded. The few that remained... could only be described as very anthropomorphic.

This is inevitable. There are only a few pure-blood wizards, and they rarely have many children. After a few intermarriages, they are all close relatives. This is the case in Egypt, which is so big, not to mention that Britain is so small, there will be even fewer real pure-blood families.

“Perhaps the three founders have also considered this aspect.”

Eugene was not particularly clear about this, so he could only guess. He then continued to talk about the legend of the secret room:

"It is said that after the quarrel, Salazar Slytherin left the school. Before leaving, Salazar Slytherin built a secret chamber in the castle that only he knew how to enter. He also predicted that only his own heir could open it, and that the heir would release a ferocious monster living inside to eliminate all Muggle-born students in the school."

"Wow~"

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and it was Bernard, the only one among the five who could be said to be of pure Muggle origin.

There was a gleam in his eyes that was very familiar to the other four people:

"What could that ferocious monster be? It's really curious."

"……"What do you want to do?

In the end, no one asked this question even though they already knew the answer, but instead started to guess based on what Bernard had said.

"Mrs. Loris was petrified. I guess it could be Medusa?"

Colon made a reasonable guess, and Eugene refuted it:

"But Medusa couldn't have lived that long. According to legend, that thing should have lived for a thousand years."

"But that would assume that the monster that petrified Mrs. Norris was really a Slytherin monster, right?"

Colon offered his own insights:

"Maybe the murderer this time just borrowed the name of the Chamber of Secrets legend. He is not an heir at all, and the one who petrified Mrs. Norris is not a monster left by Slytherin."

"…What you said makes sense, but how can a Medusa sneak into Hogwarts?"

Eugene's intuition told him that the murderer was indeed related to the legend, but he had no evidence.

"Didn't a troll sneak into Hogwarts last year - on this day last year!"

Colon felt that this was a bit far-fetched. Professor Dumbledore would never allow Hogwarts to be invaded again and again. However, he had a new idea:

"Maybe it wasn't a monster at all, but a wizard using some dark magic?"
