Chapter 192 Chaotic Castle
After hesitating for a long time, Kyle finally did not open the Slytherin statue to wake up the basilisk.
It was not because he was afraid that the basilisk would kill him.
Although the magical animal, the basilisk, could kill anyone it stared at, and was unreasonable, its weakness was also very obvious.
As long as it heard the crowing of a rooster, it would flee in panic, because that sound was fatal to it.
Although it sounds like a joke, it is 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 refreshing potion.
At this moment, those energetic roosters are having a party in the box. As long as you open a gap slightly, you can hear the noisy and loud crowing inside.
In the secret room, where even the footsteps can be infinitely amplified, the sound of these one hundred roosters can at least be multiplied tenfold.
If they were all released, it would not be as simple as fatal to the basilisk. It would be considered strong if it could survive for a second.
But Kyle did not want a dead snake... or if there was another choice, he did not want to turn the basilisk into a disposable treasure chest.
The only problem now was how to make the basilisk listen to him, which was a bit troublesome.
After all, he was not Riddle, and he had no half-Nat relationship with Slytherin, so he had no idea how to control the basilisk.
"No, I have to think of a way... I can't let Voldemort, the prodigal son, get away with it anyway."
Kyle squinted his eyes, and he thought of a special ghost, the Grey Lady of Ravenclaw, that is, Helena Ravenclaw.
As one of the four giants 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 with his head turned back every three steps.
Fortunately, Voldemort's mind was full of the Philosopher's Stone this year, and he still had time.
After leaving the secret room, Kyle rode on his flying broom and returned to Myrtle's bathroom along the way he came.
As soon as he jumped off the broom, the pool covering the pipe automatically slid back to its original place.
The bathroom was silent, and Myrtle had not returned yet.
Kyle did not waste time. After cleaning up the footprints and other traces, he left here under the Disillusionment Curse.
The corridor in the early morning was as quiet as the secret room, but it was less gloomy. Kyle glanced at the door of the library, shook his head, and decided to go back to the dormitory instead of copying books.
However, before he took two steps, a shrill, creepy scream suddenly broke the silence around him.
Because he had just come out of the secret room, Kyle, who was frightened, subconsciously thought of the basilisk, and his hands shook, and he directly opened the box in his hand.
"Flutter... Flutter..."
A large number of roosters fed with refreshing potions poured out like a fountain.
Although Kyle quickly closed the box after reacting, it was too late. More than half of the more than 100 roosters had almost run out.
Now, the corridor became lively in an instant.
The screams and crowing of roosters in the library were one after another, like a concert.
"Merlin's beard, why did he go to the library to make trouble in the middle of the night!"
Kyle slapped his forehead and cursed in his heart.
A little wizard who blatantly violated the school rules should be deducted 100 points directly!
At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from downstairs.
It was Filch, holding a dim oil lamp and walking towards this side quickly.
"Damn it!"
Kyle frowned. He didn't bring the invisibility cloak this time. Although the Disillusionment Charm is easy to use, it will leave a shadow, and it will be exposed as long as it is 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 exasperated voice was extremely harsh even in the noisy crowing.
When Kyle ran to the fourth floor, he was hit by something for no reason, but he turned around and saw nothing...
There was no one around.
"Potter?"
Kyle frowned, and he probably guessed who the unlucky person in the library was.
Just now, there was a moment when he suddenly felt a soft touch like water on his hand.
Kyle was too familiar with that feeling, it was the invisibility cloak.
"It can't be such a coincidence..." Kyle couldn't help but speed up his pace, and then he saw Snape not far away, and Professor McGonagall in pajamas.
Because of the accident just now, the castle was now full of loud crowing sounds, and all professors were alarmed.
Professor McGonagall and Snape were just the first to rush over.
Kyle clung to the wall tightly, not daring to move. He must not be discovered at this time, otherwise he would die miserably!
"What happened, Severus?"
"Maybe someone thinks Christmas is too boring and wants to have some fun..." Snape said coldly: "It's so 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. He shouted while he was still on the stairs: "Someone was in the library just now, in the restricted area. I found a broken oil lamp there!"
"Wandering at night, going to the restricted area, causing chaos and waking everyone up... deducting 200 points, and being put in detention for a month!" Professor McGonagall was obviously also very angry.
"Restricted area?" Snape sneered and said, "Then he can't go far, we can definitely catch him!"
"Leave the arrest to Argus."
Professor McGonagall frowned and said, "Severus, before that, we have to solve the trouble in front of us first, otherwise the students may not be able to sleep all night.
Oh my God, how did they get into the castle!"
Kyle noticed that the voices of the two 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 find themselves.
He took a deep breath and began to step back step by step, trying not to make any sound.
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 also appeared in the corridor where he was just now.
"Students nowadays are really getting more and more outrageous!"
"Minerva, I think we should check the dormitories to see who is not there tonight!"
