Filch again! Cyrus's patience with this annoying administrator has almost reached its limit.
But the real headache for him was the cat, which probably had some Kneazle blood or something, and besides having a very sharp nose, it seemed to be able to see through a little bit of magic. Cyrus was almost exposed several times because of it, otherwise, a squib alone would not be able to do anything to him.
It was especially dangerous when he not only met Filch, but also happened to run into Snape who was not sleeping late at night.
No wonder Tom wanted to operate on this cat in the original book! "Stop! Don't move! I've spotted you!" Filch shouted fiercely at the air. But in fact, Cyrus was standing behind him. Mrs. Norris sniffed his scent all the way to the outside of the Room of Requirement, but found nothing.
After confirming that his Disillusionment Spell had not failed, Cyrus left quickly without hesitation.
At this moment, he heard Peeves's mocking voice from behind: "Poor Filch, he's been fooled!"
As a result, the two guys started fighting each other.
As Halloween was getting closer, Cyrus felt that it was about time.
On the night of Halloween, Hogwarts was completely different from before. The pumpkins in Hagrid's field that were almost as tall as Ginny had grown to the size of a shed! The insides of these pumpkins were hollowed out, some were made into scary jack-o'-lanterns, and the rest were turned into pumpkin juice and served on the table. Bat decorations were installed everywhere in the castle. Ghosts were always the most active at this time, but this time, even Peeves was nowhere to be seen.
We have to thank Sir Nicholas for this, as today is the 500th anniversary of his death.
At the dinner, Percy looked around with a frown on his face, and the twins sat with Lee Jordan, almost in a state of chaos.
"Fred! Where's Ron? Harry and Hermione are missing too." Percy grabbed one of the twins at random and asked immediately.
"I'm George! You're my brother!" George said with eyes wide open, a little angry. Because this time he was not joking, Percy really recognized the wrong person! "Sorry..."
"Well, you want to know where little Ronnie went?"
"Speaking of which, that's pretty cool!"
The two people immediately changed their expressions to surprise and joy. Of course, the possibility of gloating was greater: "They went to a ghost party. Can you imagine? A ghost party! I guess they ate rotten meat!"
"A gathering of ghosts?"
"You don't know, it's the 500th anniversary of Nearly Headless Nico's death. If you ask me, he really has a way of commemorating his own death date!" Fred laughed and shook his head. Perhaps he already thought that Almost Headless Nico was a genius.
Ron and Hermione accidentally heard this when Harry was talking to them. At first, they wanted to get involved, but after getting some information, Fred and George gave up.
Wouldn't it be nice to eat hot meals and drink warm pumpkin juice in the hall? "Why don't you care about your sister? You know, Ginny is not here either!" George looked at the younger grades and didn't see any conspicuous red-haired children among the little lions.
"Ginny isn't feeling well and will be here later. You guys should be more concerned about her, she's had a cold for weeks!" Percy said sternly.
At this moment, all the teachers and students of Hogwarts gathered in the hall, even Filch was no exception.
Only his cat, still performing his unpleasant duty, roamed the castle corridors.
Now, it has smelled a familiar scent.
During this period, the owner of this smell had escaped from her too many times, which aroused Mrs. Norris's desire to win. This animal with cat-like bloodline had extraordinary wisdom and had regarded Cyrus as a thorn in his side.
To this end, it followed the scent and moved towards the corridor on the third floor.
He had been letting the basilisk move in the pipe for a while, and now it was time to take it out for a walk. Coincidentally, the annoying Myrtle also went to attend the Deathday party. There was no one here, except -
A cat!
Mrs. Norris lowered her head, sniffed the scent, and slowly came to the door of the bathroom.
There was water all over the ground, probably because a pipe was leaking, which made Mrs. Norris a little disgusted. But her desire to win outweighed everything else, and she slowly walked around the corner, stepping on the sticky water.
The next moment, two dim lights were reflected in the water!
Mrs. Norris didn't even have time to react before she was petrified by the basilisk's eyes! "Finally, the annoying guy is free." Cyrus jumped down from the basilisk's head and picked up the petrified, immobile cat. It now felt harder than iron!
He hung Mrs. Norris on the wall and left a line of bloody words.
In fact, Cyrus used to like cats, but obviously, Mrs. Norris was not one of them. The little thing that hindered his resurrection, no matter how cute it looked, must be eliminated! At least temporarily.
Then, Cyrus asked the basilisk to return to the chamber of secrets, waiting for his call at any time, and he slowly returned to the banquet and returned the body to Ginny.
Ginny, who was a little dazed, opened her eyes and found herself at the Gryffindor table. She was not too surprised. She had obviously guessed that it was "Mr. Riddle" who had controlled her body.
It's been fifty years since Mr. Riddle last celebrated Halloween, has it?
As she thought about it, she thought it was normal for Cyrus to miss the Halloween party at Hogwarts.
Of course, she herself is also looking forward to this festival.
At this moment, looking at the delicious food on the table, she couldn't help it anymore and started eating immediately.
Colin at the side opened his mouth and looked at her, seemingly not expecting Ginny to look so unhappy, but his appetite did not change.
But this is a good thing.
The dinner was over soon, and Ginny followed the team back to the Gryffindor common room. Strangely, the Slytherin and Hufflepuff common rooms were in the dungeons and the basement respectively, but for some reason, Malfoy also followed them secretly.
They walked happily to the third floor, and then immediately became silent.
Hundreds of people looked at the three helpless little figures in the empty corridor and——
"The secret room has been opened. Those who are enemies of the heir, beware!"
When Malfoy found that it was Harry standing in front of him, he immediately went out and read out loud the blood-red words on the wall, with a happy expression on his face.
He looked at the motionless and stiff cat hanging there. His cold eyes became lively, his usually bloodless face turned red, and a hideous smile appeared on his face.
"You're next, Mudblood!"
Although tomorrow is Halloween, the attack will start today! Hehehe, my friends, if you don't give me votes, I will stop updating (this is a lie)! (End of this chapter)
