Chapter 100 The Third Attack
The next day, Mike became a person who could walk sideways in Hogwarts.
This was not because of how strong Mike was, but because no matter where Mike went, there would be a group of little wizards of Muggle descent following him.
After the last incident, the wizards of Muggle descent had completely united together. Just because of Mike's words that unity is strength, they now do everything in groups, and even many mixed-blood wizards have joined in.
The people gathered around Mike were undoubtedly the most, and Mike had asked them why they did so. The answer he got was that they were worried that Mike would be retaliated by Slytherin students and Snape because of the last incident, so they would take turns to guard Mike.
At first, Mike was a little touched, but after only one morning, Mike was desperate.
Because even when Mike went to the toilet to urinate, there would be several male students standing guard next to him. Although they said that they would never peek, Mike still noticed their peeking eyes and shocked and envious expressions.
Although Mike was very proud of the development of his capital, he was still very annoyed. Mike couldn't drive these people away, after all, they were well-intentioned.
So Mike had no choice but to apply for a patrol mission. Fortunately,
Professor Flitwick was a reasonable man, and agreed to Mike's request after understanding Mike's situation.
Since most of these young wizards of Muggle descent did not join the management team, they did not have the right to leave the hall, so Mike finally had peace.
However, when Mike walked out of the hall after nightfall to start his first night patrol, an accident happened.
"Hiss..."
Mike and the two patrol members who were with him only felt a sharp pain in their left chest, and they all took a breath of cold air.
Several people reacted instantly, and someone had sounded the alarm.
Mike and others quickly opened their magic perception, and under the clear vision of magic perception, they clearly sensed a warning brooch that was constantly emitting a fierce red light in the distance.
"Not good! Go to support!"
The leading team leader rushed over after throwing such an order, and Mike and another team member followed without any hesitation.
When Mike and his team finally arrived at the warning site after walking around the corridor, they found that other teams had already arrived.
"Go report to Principal Dumbledore! Three team members have died! Harry Potter was petrified, and the other two Gryffindor second-year students were slightly injured!" The captain of the team that arrived first shouted to a team member next to him.
The team member who received the order nodded to their captain and ran towards the principal's office. Mike finally had the opportunity to observe the scene.
There were six people lying on the ground. Hermione and Ron didn't look seriously injured, but they looked scared and were crying in the corner.
Harry looked exactly like Penelope. His limbs were stiff and he fell to the ground in a very strange posture. It was obvious that he was petrified.
The skin of the other three night watchmen was a lifeless gray, as if all the vitality in their bodies had been sucked away. It was obvious that they would not survive.
Although Hermione and Ron looked miserable, especially Ron, who seemed to be greatly stimulated by what happened before, so he vomited all over the floor.
However, the team members at the scene did not go to comfort them. On the contrary, the captain who had given the order before shouted at the two of them: "What the hell is going on! Why are you here?"
The other team members around did not stop the captain's inappropriate behavior. After so many days of getting along day and night, they, the night watchmen, had already accumulated deep feelings. Now the companion who was still playing with you yesterday was lying on the ground without a sound. No one could bear it. Faced
with the captain's questioning, Ron did not respond at all, but continued to vomit all over his head, and Hermione wanted to say something but looked like she was out of breath.
"Hey, Hermione." Mike stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't be nervous, breathe through your nose, yes, that's it, breathe through your nose."
"Yeah... it was Harry, he said he could always hear a voice in the wall saying he wanted to kill the mudbloods. So... so he used the invisibility cloak to sneak out of the hall with Ron and me to investigate the voice. Later we really encountered the basilisk, Harry was petrified after just one look at it, and we ran away desperately. Later the night patrol team discovered the abnormality here and came here to check, and the result... the result was... wow..."
Following Mike's instructions, she breathed through her nose for a long time, and only after her breathing became more stable did she roughly recount what happened, and when she got to the end, she was already sobbing.
The captain, who was already heartbroken over the death of his teammates, immediately went berserk after learning that his friend had died in the suicidal actions of Harry and others.
"You damn brats!"
The captain roared and kicked Hermione who was crying, but his body suddenly froze when he was about to kick her.
Dumbledore appeared in front of everyone with a wand in his hand and said, "Calm down, Blaise! It's already happened. You can't save Baker and the others by taking it out on these kids."
The captain of the night watch named Blaise burst into tears after hearing what Dumbledore said. As soon as Dumbledore lifted the spell, he collapsed to the ground, still muttering, "It's all your fault... Baker, Joshel..." Dumbledore
looked at Blaise who seemed to have lost all his strength and the other members of the night watch who were equally heartbroken, and finally looked at the only one who was in a state of panic. Mike, who was still relatively normal, said, "Mike, you take care of Blaise and the others here. I'll take Harry and the others away first."
Mike's heart was chilled when he heard that Dumbledore was going to leave the night watch team members in this dangerous place and take Harry and the others away first, but his expression did not change at all, and he replied expressionlessly, "Yes, Principal." Fortunately,
Dumbledore also took the three bodies of the night watch team members with him when he left. This behavior made Mike feel a little better, but the deep chill in his eyes lingered.
After Dumbledore left, Mike was alert to the surroundings. According to Mike's understanding of the basilisk, the cunning basilisk was likely to attack them again after seeing Dumbledore leave.
Fortunately, other night watch teams soon arrived at Mike's place.
Mike told everyone the whole story, including the fact that Dumbledore left first, without any exaggeration. Everyone fell into sadness, and most of them did not notice the abnormality of Dumbledore's behavior.
Under their escort, Mike and others returned to the auditorium smoothly.
