After hesitating for a long time, Kyle finally did not open the Slytherin statue to awaken the basilisk.

Not because he was afraid the basilisk would kill him.

Although the basilisk is a magical animal that can kill anyone it glares at and is unreasonably strong, its weaknesses are also very obvious.

As soon as they hear the crowing of a rooster, they will run away in panic because that sound is fatal to them.

It may sound funny, but it's true, that an ordinary rooster can kill one of the most dangerous magical animals.

Kyle came here after making sufficient preparations. Before that, he went to Hogsmeade and bought more than a hundred roosters through the Owl Post Office, and fed each of them with a stimulating potion.

At this moment, those energetic roosters are having a party in the box. If you just open a gap slightly, you can hear the noisy and loud crowing inside.

In a secret room where even the sound of footsteps can be infinitely amplified, the sound of these one hundred roosters can be at least ten times louder.

If they were all released, it would no longer be fatal to the basilisk. It would be considered strong if it could survive for even one second.

But Kyle didn't want a dead snake... or, if there was any other choice, he didn't want to turn the Basilisk into a disposable treasure chest.

The only problem now is how to make the basilisk listen to him, which is a bit troublesome.

After all, he was not Riddle, nor was he half-Nutter to Slytherin, so he had no idea what to do to control the basilisk.

"No, we have to think of a way... We can't let that loser Voldemort get away with it no matter what."

Kyle narrowed his eyes as he thought of a particular ghost, the Grey Lady of Ravenclaw, also known as Helena Ravenclaw.

As one of the four great masters of Hogwarts, the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, she might know something...

Kyle resisted the urge to explode the basilisk and walked out of the secret room, looking back every few steps.

Fortunately, this year Voldemort's mind is full of the Philosopher's Stone, so he still has time.

After leaving the Chamber of Secrets, Kyle got on his broom and returned to Myrtle's bathroom along the same route.

As soon as he jumped off his broom, the pool of water covering the pipe slid back to its original place.

The bathroom was silent, and Myrtle had not returned yet.

Kyle didn't waste any time. After cleaning up all traces of footprints, he left under the Disillusionment Spell.

The corridor in the early morning was as quiet as the secret room, but less eerie. Kyle glanced at the library door, shook his head, and decided to go back to the dormitory instead of copying books.

However, before he could take two steps, a shrill, creepy scream suddenly broke the silence around him.

Because he had just come out of the secret room, Kyle was frightened and subconsciously thought of the basilisk. His hands trembled and he directly opened the box in his hand.

“Flutter…Flutter…”

A large number of roosters that had been fed with stimulant potions poured out like fountains.

Although Kyle reacted and closed the box quickly, it was too late. More than half of the more than 100 roosters had escaped.

Now, the corridor suddenly became lively.

The screams and crowing of roosters in the library were one after another, like a concert.

"Merlin's beard, why is he still awake in the middle of the night and making trouble in the library!"

Kyle slapped his forehead and cursed in his heart.

A little wizard like this who blatantly violates school rules should be deducted 100 points directly!

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps downstairs.

It was Filch, holding a dim oil lamp and walking towards this side quickly.

Kyle frowned. He didn't bring the invisibility cloak this time. Although the Disillusionment Charm was useful, it would leave a shadow and he would be exposed as long as he was illuminated by the oil lamp.

Seeing that Filch was about to go upstairs, Kyle turned around and ran upstairs without hesitation.

He remembered that there was a secret passage behind a set of armor on the fourth floor, which led directly to the underground classroom corridor.

"Come out, I see you!"

Behind him, Filch's angry voice sounded extremely harsh even among the noisy crowing.

When Kyle ran to the fourth floor, he was bumped by something for no apparent reason. He turned around but saw nothing...

There was no one around.

"Potter?"

Kyle frowned. He probably guessed who the unlucky person was in the library before.

Just for a moment, he suddenly felt a soft touch like water on his hand.

Kyle was all too familiar with that feeling, it was the invisibility cloak.

"It can't be such a coincidence..." Kyle couldn't help but quicken his pace. Then, he saw Snape not far away, and Professor McGonagall in pajamas.

Because of the accident just now, the castle was now filled with loud crowing sounds, and all the professors were alarmed.

Professor McGonagall and Snape were just the first to arrive.

Kyle clung to the wall, not daring to move. He absolutely could not be discovered at this moment, or he would surely die miserably! "What happened, Severus?"

"Maybe someone thinks Christmas is too boring and wants to have some fun..." Snape said coldly, "It would be fun to keep everyone awake. No matter who it is, I will deduct 100 points from him!"

"Two professors..."

At this time, Filch also came here. While he was still on the stairs, he shouted, "Someone was in the library just now, in the restricted section. I found a broken oil lamp there!"

"Wandering around at night, going to the restricted books section, causing chaos and waking everyone up... 200 points deducted, and you'll be put in detention for a month!" Professor McGonagall was obviously also very angry.

"Restricted Books Area?" Snape sneered, "Then he can't go far. We will definitely catch him!"

"Leave the arrest to Argus."

Professor McGonagall frowned and said, "Severus, before that, we have to solve the current trouble first, otherwise the students may not be able to sleep all night.

Oh my god, how on earth did they get into the castle! "

Kyle noticed that the voices were getting closer and closer. He was sure that his Disillusionment Spell would not be hidden from the two professors. As long as they turned a corner, they would immediately discover him.

He took a deep breath and began to step back, trying not to make any noise.

There was a door on the right that opened a crack. Kyle's eyes lit up and he didn't care about anything else. He squeezed in sideways.

Almost at the same time, Professor McGonagall and Snape appeared in the corridor where he was just now.

"Students nowadays are really going too far!"

"Minerva, I think we should check the dorms to see who's not here tonight!"
