Admiral of Hogwarts

Although it was a holiday apart, this castle with thousands of years of history has not changed much from before. With the return of the little wizards and the resumption of normal teaching tasks in the school, the whole castle became lively again.

Due to the previous attacks, not many people stayed in the school during this holiday. After spending a happy Christmas away from school, most students' fear of secret rooms has disappeared a lot.

To take the most obvious example, Neville is now back to his original clean appearance, instead of having at least a pound of amulets hanging on him like he did a while ago.

But Hugo did not appear to be very relaxed, because his search for the attack suspect was now at an impasse. Apart from the fact that that person was indeed not among the students of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, everything else was uncertain.

For Hugo, a half-resurrected Voldemort who was completely unaware of the situation was actually very dangerous. Because he could burst out from somewhere at any time and attack.

Although the company has set up necessary alarm facilities in the women's restroom in Myrtle, Hugo and the others do not feel that this can completely prevent attacks.

At least the snake slough left in the pipe can show that the basilisk is always growing. Judging from the size of the basilisk, it is impossible for a creature to achieve this point by eating only mice to maintain life.

Therefore, according to the judgment of the ship girls, in addition to the women's bathroom, there are likely to be some other exits in or around Hogwarts Castle for the basilisk to enter and exit for hunting.

As for when I was reading books in my previous life, some people analyzed that the house elves at Hogwarts were feeding the basilisk. This conjecture has been completely rejected by everyone.

Because house elves belong directly to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore will definitely not tolerate an existence like a basilisk that can cause fatal harm to students to stay in the school.

Therefore, if the house elf really knew about the secret of the Chamber of Secrets, he would report it directly to Principal Dumbledore, instead of being helpless like now.

During the period after the Christmas vacation, the attackers seemed to know that Hugo and the ship girls were trying their best to detect his whereabouts, so they lurked directly and did not launch a new round of attacks.

Now the sun began to shine faintly over Hogwarts again. At the castle, the mood turned optimistic. This was especially true after Madam Pomfrey learned that the mandrakes had begun to mature.

"As soon as their acne is healed, they can be transplanted again." One day when Hugo and Hermione went to the company to study as usual, they heard Madam Pomfrey, who was chatting with the company in the company's office, happily telling the company the news.

"Then, it won't take long before we can cut them off and boil them on the fire. In this way, everyone who is petrified can recover."

"I think that should be good news just now." After Madam Pomfrey left, Hugo said to the enterprise with a smile.

"Colin Creevey and Sir Nick probably saw the attacker, and after the petrification effect on them is lifted, there should be a high probability that they can tell us who attacked them."

"I'm not that optimistic, because it's still half a year before the mandrake matures." Enterprise said while gesturing for the Granger siblings to sit down. "And that's enough time for the attackers to launch multiple attacks."

"Then didn't they ask you to find a way to buy the anti-petrification potion?" Hermione asked the company with some curiosity, "I remember when Filch's cat was attacked, you said you could buy it."

"You are right, but the problem now is that the school board of directors has been refusing to approve the money." The company said some information it got during recent exchanges with professors.

"Especially Lucius Malfoy, he firmly believes that this additional large expenditure is likely to attract some unnecessary attention to the school from the outside world, thereby affecting the school's reputation."

"But now there have been four victims in a row." Hermione looked puzzled. "Isn't this enough to illustrate the seriousness of the matter?"

"Most of our school directors don't see it that way." The company showed a disdainful look. "Both your Ginger and Filch's Mrs. Norris are just cats, and Nick is just a ghost, so they won't attract too much attention if they are petrified."

"What about Colin Creevey, the first-year Gryffindor?" Hermione's expression turned to shock after hearing what the company said. "This is a living student, isn't it important?"

"I'm sorry, but for those school directors who come from pure-blood wizarding families, there's not much difference between hemp wizards like us and cats or ghosts."

There was a hint of anger on Enterprise's face, at least the news she got from the other professors was not very pleasant.

"What -" The company's answer sounded so incredible that Hermione had to confirm it again at the company.

"Yes, in the eyes of many pure-blood family wizards, we are actually completely different from them and inferior to them. The only gratifying thing is that at least none of the school's professors hold this view. "

After all, the professors at Hogwarts were personally hired by Principal Dumbledore, and for Professor Dumbledore, he would naturally avoid those extreme bloodists from entering the school and poisoning the students.

"This is really too bad." Hermione frowned. "We are all human beings, but why do some people always look down on others for one reason or another?"

"Okay, don't think about this problem now." Enterprise gently patted Hermione's arm like a close sister, and then said, "At least in my opinion, this is not what students of your age should consider. matter."

After skipping this unpleasant incident, the company guided Hugo and Hermione to train again. The content of today's training is related to ancient runes.

"I think you already have a basic understanding of how to use transformation in combat." Enterprise looked at the Granger siblings with serious expressions. "I am quite satisfied with your academic level during this period."

"And during Christmas, I found some interesting knowledge during my travels in Northern Europe. Considering your level, I think you should have enough level and will to learn this knowledge."

"Thank you so much, Professor Halsey." After hearing what the company said, Hermione suddenly became excited. Because after staying in the wizarding world for a whole year, she also knew how valuable the knowledge of the wizarding world was.

So when the company said it wanted to impart some knowledge to himself and his brother, he immediately expressed his attitude.

"Don't thank me yet. I want to declare one thing in advance, that is, this knowledge is dangerous to a certain extent. If there is no corresponding level, self-study will only cause some serious, even fatal threats."

Enterprise looked at the Granger siblings and said one after another. "So in this case, I must make a magic contract with you to prevent you from leaking this knowledge to inappropriate people intentionally or unintentionally."
