On the wall in front of them, something was shining.
The Harry trio came closer, squinting their eyes and trying to identify the marks, but Jon and Cecatly didn't need to get close. From this position, they could see the handwriting very clearly.
"The secret room has been opened. Those who are enemies of the successor, be alert."
Cecatly's light girlish voice sounded a little gloomy in the darkness.
And on the wall in front of them, below the painted words, something seemed to be hanging.
"It seems to be … the cat of the Hogwarts Town Security, Filch. You've seen him on the day you first arrived. The slightly taller one is Filch."
Cecatly nodded. Of course, she remembered the dud who looked very old-fashioned, but now his cat has become a real plank.
"It should have been petrified by the Basilisk, but if the Basilisk looked directly at it, it should have died. It's just a cat. How did it see the Basilisk?"
Obviously, no one could answer Jon's question. No one knew how Madam Loris encountered the Basilisk, but at least it was not dead, which was something to be thankful for.
"I seriously suspect that it will be difficult to clean up here. What do you think they will do?"
"What else can they do? Of course, they won't deal with it. "
Jon glanced sideways in the direction of the stairs, where the figure of a ghost flashed by.
It seems that Naughty still hasn't neglected his job. The ghost that should follow Harry was still arranged by him. Now, this should be recorded.
Then he didn't need to worry about it.
He turned his head back again. Obviously, there was a team of three people who wanted to leave now, but it was too late.
The noise came from the bottom of the stairs like thunder. On both sides of the corridor where they were, there were the sound of hundreds of feet climbing the stairs, and the students were talking and laughing happily.
Then, the students crowded here.
They soon found out what was going on here, especially when they saw the upside-down cat. Silence spread like dominoes in the noisy crowd.
"What happened here?"
Filch's figure appeared not far away. He was obviously attracted by the sound of the students, and when he squeezed through the crowd, he saw Madam Loris hanging on the wall.
He was very surprised.
The Hogwarts warden let out a shriek and directed his anger at the person closest to the cat.
Harry Potter.
"You!"
"You!" he cried in a shrill voice. You killed my cat! I will kill you! I want to — "
"Filch!"
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Dumbledore's voice sounded from nearby.
As the person who saved the day, he came at the right time and brought many teachers with him.
He glanced in the direction where Jon and Cecatly were hiding before shifting his gaze back to the center of the situation.
"It seems that we are no longer needed here, Cecily."
Jon could see clearly what Dumbledore was trying to convey in his eyes, so he told Cecatly that he was going to leave.
Naturally, Cecatly knew what Dumbledore was looking at. She nodded at Jon, and the two of them walked out, sticking close to the wall.
Behind them, Lohat's voice was clearly heard.
"My office is the closest to here, headmaster. It's upstairs. You can —"
After that, Jon didn't hear what he said. He and Cecatly left the place and walked towards the Stargazing Tower.
At this time, Professor Trelawney should have started her prophecy.
"Jon, is it appropriate for us to go now?"
Cecatly looked in the direction of the Stargazing Tower, which was still shrouded in darkness.
"I think they should have realized that the cat was petrified by now, and Lohat himself knows about the existence of the Basilisk. Dumbledore has been back for so long, he should know about it too, right?"
"Who knows?"
Cecatly shrugged her shoulders and turned the gem in her hand.
"But I still haven't noticed anything strange coming from the Stargazing Tower. Maybe … the prophecy hasn't started yet. Won't we disturb them if we go now?"
Jon had to admit that Cecatly's worries were not unreasonable, and there was a high possibility that she was right.
"If that's the case, why don't we wait for the results to come out and see them directly?" The bracelet on his wrist suddenly shook. "Let's go, Lohat is looking for us."
In the end, the two of them only walked around the outside of the castle, but didn't go to the Stargazing Tower. In the end, they still returned to Lohat's office.
The office was a little dim.
Lohat's photos were hung on the wall. The poses of these Lohat's were all different, and some of them even had curlers on their heads.
When Jon and Cecatly came in, they did not hide. Instead, they stood there openly, showing off their postures.
Meanwhile, the real Lockhart was sitting behind his office desk.
"You don't look well, did something happen?"
"Oh, it's nothing serious. The act failed, and Snape didn't allow me to make the Mandrake Resurrection Potion. To be honest, I'm a little sad.
And you didn't tell me that the snake monster would appear in such a short period of time. I wasn't even prepared. "
"When you came, I told you that nothing is prepared in Hogwarts, and everything is done on the spot."
Jon didn't want to continue the topic that Lohat threw out. He felt that it was meaningless to talk about this. Rather than arguing about this here, it was better to go to Snape's place and see how the potion was made.
"I thought that you and Professor Snape's relationship was already very good. What's wrong, aren't you two good partners?"
Lohat looked very wronged.
"Even the best partners can't stand such a blow. You don't know how he mocked me in front of Harry."
"No matter how Snape mocked you, you should bear it."
Jon's gaze gradually sharpened, as if he was looking straight into Lohat's heart.
"When you first chose to come here, I already told you that you have to learn to face everything that might happen here. And you shouldn't care about your own image."
His voice was cold and emotionless, but it was very useful for waking people up.
"Isn't your ultimate goal in coming to Hogwarts to destroy your past image? Because of this, you can pave the way for your new life. So if I were you, I wouldn't be here complaining about the snake monster or anything else, but look for Snape to make the potion with him.
He would be a very good partner. "
