Chapter 249 What Are You Talking About?

Chapter 249 What Are You Talking About?

When they heard the inexplicable sound, Harry and Ron quickly moved in the direction of the sound. .

"hiss……"

Ron gasped.For a while, I didn't know how to describe the scene in front of me.Harry also swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Something was shining on the wall in front of them.They approached slowly, squinting to make out in the dark.Between the two windows, on the wall a foot above the ground, some writing was scribbled, shimmering in the light of the burning torches.

The chamber of secrets has been opened,

Those who are enemies of the heir, be vigilant.

When Harry stepped forward, he fell down due to the water under his feet, and fell on a big horse.Ron was brought down with him because he didn't hold him when he pulled him.

One of the two rubbed their buttocks, and the other got up from the ground while rubbing their face.

Then, they saw clearly what was in front of them.

Looking at Mrs. Norris who was hanging on the lamp in front of her.Both Harry and Ron paled instantly.They've always hated the damn cat though.But when the cat really died in front of them in such a tragic way, they still felt scared and regretful after all.

Harry looked at Mrs. Norris in front of him, and suddenly a feeling of compassion welled up in his heart.Some strange memories surfaced in his mind.So he stepped forward subconsciously, trying to take off Mrs. Norris.But Ron stopped him all of a sudden.

"Should we rescue a..."

"We should leave!"

Harry's words were refuted by Ron.Ron didn't think that the two of them could get involved in the matter in front of him.And they are standing here, with their usual style and behavior, it is inevitable that they will not be treated as murderers.But it happened that there were only the two of them here.

If you don't leave now, I'm afraid the yellow mud will fall into your pants.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late.A group of students had already gathered around.

The students first glanced at the unclear words.Then he focused his gaze on Harry.

When students like Ernie, Draco, and Pansy saw the words on the wall, their expressions changed suddenly.

But none of them spoke at once.

Malfoy looked at Harry suspiciously.Ernie looked a little surprised.

"stop!"

Filch pushed away the surrounding students, saw the tragedy in front of him, widened his eyes, and walked out with a grim expression, with a look of resentment on his face.

He glanced at Mrs. Norris, who was terrified, her hair was blown up, and motionless, and he couldn't help feeling sad and sad.But the next moment, he stared aggressively at Harry in front of him, with a sense of resentment in his tone.

"You! You killed Mrs. Norris!"

Such a sound is hardly like a sound that a person can make.And it looks like an old cat whose child has been robbed.It was so shrill as if a ghost was crying.

"I didn't!" Harry defended himself loudly.While flustered, there was also a hint of determination.

It's a pity that Filch completely ignored Harry's defense.He seems to have lost the ability to tell right from wrong.He just looked at Harry bitterly.

….Filch approached Harry step by step, and Harry backed away step by step.

The original Harry just found Filch annoying and liked to make things difficult for them.But in fact, he somewhat looked down on Filch.After all, in the eyes of many senior students.Filch was annoying, but not difficult to deal with.He's a squib.How could the Squib have too much resistance in front of the wizards?

The same goes for Luke, who once said about Filch that he wasn't even as tricky as his cat.

It's just that there is no disrespect in his tone.After all... To Luke, there wasn't much difference between Filch and a cat, both of which were types that didn't exist when he was out at night.

Luke had also arrived at the scene at this time.So the students present who already had some guesses about this matter all focused their attention on Luke.

"Argus!!"

Dumbledore's voice rang out.Filch stared at Harry wide-eyed.Tears filled the bloodshot eyes.This made Harry confused for a moment, but while his scalp was numb, he also fell into a kind of surprise.

In the end what happened? ? ?

After Dumbledore approached, he first stopped Filch's atrocities.He was visibly relieved to see that Harry was fine.At the same time, he also felt a little strange.

Why is Harry so capable of getting into trouble?It's just that after not staring for a while, something like this happened.

He looked at Filch who had stopped, and Harry who had been pulled to his side by Ron, and he was relieved.Then he glanced at the writing on the wall over there.

Then, he immediately turned to look at Luke.

Of course, whoever did this didn't know that Dumbledore was alone.The professors who came together afterwards, and those noble children who knew about this secret.And those classmates who followed everyone's eyes and looked at him.

It can be said that Luke is now the focus of the audience.

"The chamber of secrets has been opened, those who are enemies of the heir, be vigilant..."

Luke murmured quietly.

The atmosphere on the field fell into a stagnation for a while.

"Mr. Gaunt, explain!"

Before anyone else could speak, Professor Snape was the first to question. Of course, he also had such a position.Luke was a student of Slytherin, anyway.

"Professor not possible to do with Luke...that lacks motivation."

Ernie burst out and said to Snape: "Why does Luke need to do such a thing, what kind of person he is, we all know..."

"I don't want your explanation! Mr. MacMillan!"

Professor Snape scolded coldly.

Ernie was speechless by his reprimand, and Hannah Abbott tugged at his sleeve behind him.Ernie retreated into the crowd unwillingly.

"Professor impossible. It's just a cat, so what if Luke killed it in front of Filch? It's not worth the effort."

Pansy Parkinson also stepped forward to explain to Luke.

This time, Snape didn't speak any more, but sneered at Luke: "Mr. Gaunt, talk, I don't want to hear these students speak up for you anymore."

... At this moment, all eyes were on Luke, as were Harry and Ron.The two of them didn't understand why this matter had anything to do with Luke.

Hermione and Taylor stood aside and looked at Luke strangely.

"What the hell is Luke doing?"

Hermione spoke to Tyler in a voice only the two of them could hear.

And Taylor didn't speak, just shook his head with a complicated expression.

She didn't know what Luke's idea was in it, but she knew that without Luke's prior notice, it would be fine for the two of them to watch the show.

Now... it's Luke's report time.

"Professor, this matter has nothing to do with me."

Luke looked at Snape without fear, his tone quite serious.

"You! You! It's you!"

Before Snape could speak, Filch averted that hateful gaze.He walked towards Luke with a sense of oppression that was more mournful than heartbreak.

And what greeted him... was Luke's drawn wand.

This made the professors on one side nervous.And the students around him subconsciously took a step back.

Even Filch was too frightened to lose that momentum.

Luke looked at Filch coldly.

"Mr. Filch . . . I warn you, the things I hate the most in life are people cheating on me. People wronging me. The latter is more important than the former."

In the wand in his hand, a cluster of faint blue flames lit up at the tip of the wand.

"If you don't pay attention to your words and deeds, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"you you you……"

Filch pointed at Luke, but put it down quickly.Obviously, he was a little afraid that Luke would make trouble for him.

Ignoring Filch's actions, Luke turned his head and said to a group of professors with ugly faces: "Professors can investigate when this incident happened. I will show my alibi at that time. Then Or, like Ernie said. I had absolutely no incentive to do it."

He glanced at the wall not far away.

"Anyway...it's not me."

Most of the students chose to believe in Luke at this time.The professors also had no objections.

But Snape had no intention of letting go.

"Then you mean...the 'heir' written on it is not you?"

"Of course not me."

Both Luke and Snape looked ugly.And when the two were topping each other, the scene fell into silence again, and no one else dared to speak.

"That's strange... the heir of the Chamber of Secrets is not a member of the Gunter family?"

Although Malfoy's voice was not loud at the moment, it was enough to reach everyone's ears.

As soon as he said this, he knew something was wrong.Glancing at Luke, whose face was not pretty, he wished he could give himself a big mouth.

But Luke didn't mean to blame him, but glanced at the people who surrounded him.

..."Indeed, I'm also very curious...Which one? Destroyed my status as the heir? It's amazing..."

Luke's tone was obviously cold.Rarely did the students see Luke pissed off like this.While they felt the novelty, they also felt a little surprised.

Those who knew what the Chamber of Secrets meant couldn't figure it out.If Luke isn't the heir... who else might be?

"Okay, let's go away..."

Dumbledore waved his hand wearily.

Then he looked at Luke and said, "Come here."

At this time, Lockhart hurried forward.

"My office is closest to here, the Headmaster—upstairs—you can—"

"Okay, thank you, Gilderoy...Mr. Potter, Mr. Wesley, please follow me, both of you."

With that said, Dumbledore walked upstairs first.

The silent crowd parted to let them pass.Lockhart was very excited, and hurriedly followed Dumbledore with a look of high spirits; Professor McGonagall and Snape followed.

And when he passed Hermione and Tyler, Luke gave them both a smile.Signal to the two of them to be relieved.However, it was obviously of little effect, and the two of them still looked at him with serious faces.

There was a sudden commotion on the walls as they entered Lockhart's dimly lit office.Harry saw a few photos of Lockhart scrambling to hide, with curlers in their hair.At this moment Lockhart lit a candle on the table and stepped back.Dumbledore put Mrs. Norris on the clean table and began to examine it carefully.

Dumbledore looked at it carefully for a while by candlelight.And Lockhart took a brief look, and then said loudly: "It must have been killed by a spell-probably the Transfiguration Curse. I've seen people use this spell many times. It's a pity I I wasn't there at the time, and I just happened to know the spell-breaking method, which could have saved it..."

"Mr. Gunter! Don't worry! I am quite sure that such a spell cannot be dealt with or cast by a little wizard like you! Only a powerful wizard like me can use it. Therefore, this matter must have nothing to do with you .”

Facing Lockhart's swearing, Luke didn't respond with an extra look on his face.

Snape sneered, while Professor McGonagall shook his head helplessly with his lips pursed.

But no one cares about a clown.

"Luke! Explain to me!"

Dumbledore took off the glasses on his nose and put them on the table, his tone was not very good.

Luke didn't hide it: "Basilisk, professor. There is a basilisk guarding the chamber of secrets. Someone did open the chamber of secrets. Let the basilisk come out."

When Luke said the word basilisk, the expressions of Snape and Professor McGonagall immediately darkened.Dumbledore closed his eyes in some pain.

Ron's eyes widened, and Harry was a little confused.

And Filch had a similar expression to Harry's.A Squib who was still thinking about learning how to cast spells would naturally not understand what a basilisk was.

but……

"Basilisk! Ha! Yes! I knew it must be a Basilisk! Damn it!"

Lockhart said indignantly: "If I had been there, I would have let this guy eat and walk around! Then stare into his eyes. Question him with my eyes burning with the flame of justice!"

So... the look on Dumbledore's face became even more painful.

"Professor Lockhart... is really amazing."

Snape said coldly.

Lockhart glanced at Snape in surprise, he never expected that the first one to praise him was this gloomy head of Slytherin!

"In terms of activating the atmosphere, your skill is really far better than ours."

"Such a terrible thing, I feel a little funny when you say that..."
