บท 117: Panicked Ginny, The Show Begins!

The Aurors are under attack!

Hogwarts in the middle of the night suddenly became lively.

Rufus, the Head of the Auror office, led people to the lawn outside the castle.

"Karen, what's going on?"

"Sorry Director, I didn't see clearly what the thing that attacked me was, but I know it was big, really big, and it came from the Forbidden Forest."

Auror Karen tried describing the attack.

Dumbledore also came with the professors.

When he heard there was a monster coming out of the Forbidden Forest he felt it was impossible.

Although Hogwarts has gradually lost its management of the Forbidden Forest over the years, the magical creatures inside will never come out.

He can guarantee this.

"Professors McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick and Sprout, go back to your respective houses and make sure all the students are there."

The four nodded, turned and walked towards their respective Houses common rooms.

When Lucas returned to the dormitory he was just in time for Professor Snape to count the number of people.

He heard the door being knocked and hurriedly changed into his pajamas!

"coming!"

The door opened, Draco frowned and said: "Lucas, Professor Snape wants everyone in the common room, let's go!"

When they reached the common room Lucas could see the obvious impatience on Snape's face.

"Professor, the number of people has been counted, and there's no one missing!"

Hearing the report from Prefect Gemma, Professor Snape breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the students who were already awake and stared at him curiously.

His deep voice sounded in the basement.

"Just now, an Auror was attacked and almost died. When everyone sleeps at night, make sure to properly close the doors of your rooms."

"Mr. Grindelwald, as the Chief, you should arrange defensive measures, you know?"

"I understand, Professor!" Lucas replied with a nod.

They waited for Professor Snape to leave and then started discussing immediately.

An Auror being attacked is no small matter.

This proves that even the elite among adult wizards cannot resist the monster that was attacking the students.

If this news is confirmed, Hogwarts may be forced to close down and the students don't want to be left without their school.

"Why don't we write a letter to our family and ask them to help us to suppress the matter first?"

The noisy room suddenly became quiet.

As the person who made this suggestion, Blaise Zabini became the center of attention.

"Did I say the wrong thing?"

Everyone shook their heads, then looked in Lucas' direction.

"I will see what I can do, I don't want the school closed either."

After Lucas finished speaking, he walked towards his dormitory.

He was telling the truth, if Hogwarts were shut down, all his plans would be disrupted.

Therefore, the Ministry of Magic cannot be allowed to close the school, but the situation needs to gradually become serious.

And this requires careful planning.

Entering his room, Lucas fetched a parchment and wrote a letter to Vinda Rosier then went to sleep.

When he woke up the next day Hestia was already waiting on the windowsill with the reply.

[Dear Lucas:

Please don't worry about what's going to happen, I will handle it well, and we also have some clues about the things you asked me to inquire about.

The first is the cave you mentioned. According to your description, our people have found similar places near Ireland.

The second is Azkaban prison, where there is no abnormality, the cells are strong, and there is no sign of the dementors being transferred.

Vinda Rosier]

Now that members of the Saints Group have arrived in Ireland, it is only a matter of time before they find the cave.

As for Azkaban, Lucas just wanted to make sure about Sirius.

Because he suddenly remembered something, the Weasleys don't appear to have traveled to Egypt last year.

So Sirius couldn't have seen Peter Pettigrew in the newspaper.

Someone knocked on the door repeatedly, making Luca put the letter in the drawer.

Then he stood up and went to open the door.

"Draco, what's wrong?"

Draco was taken aback by the clipped tone, looked down at the book in his hand and said, "It's time for the Transfiguration class, I'm just here to ask you to go to class together, so I should ask you what's wrong."

Lucas showed an annoyed and helpless expression.

"Sorry, something happened to the store business recently, I've been thinking of a solution"

"Thinking of that?"

"Yes!"

Lucas closed the door of his room and went to the common room to join the crowd.

Time flies.

And since the last time an Auror was attacked, Hogwarts never had a single attack incident.

The students all said that the heir was afraid of being caught by the Aurors, so he hid himself.

Today is December 24th, Christmas Eve.

The stable life for nearly a month has made the little wizards let go of their worries, they even had a snowball fight in the courtyard, chasing each other happily.

This Christmas, Hogwarts is extraordinarily lively, because many students chose to stay for Christmas this year.

Still a lot of people chose to leave, but those were less compared to the previous year.

Lucas chose to spend Christmas at school this year and knowing his decision, Hermione and Cho also chose to stay.

The two girls have been very busy recently.

According to their own words, the two set up a secret room monster research group, even though there are only the two of them in the group.

Except for class every day, the two girls searched for clues in the castle, hoping to find out the true face of the monster in the secret room with their own efforts.

Also investigating are Harry and his friends.

That's right, Draco made up with Harry Potter again.

Draco will not be going home for Christmas this year either, he said that he wants to stay and investigate the truth about the Chamber of Secrets with Harry.

Then there are Zabini and others who were forced to stay by Draco. They became the brains behind Draco, returning daily to discuss the leads they had collected.

Everyone seems very busy.

Only Lucas is at ease, he suddenly felt that sometimes he would lose a lot of fun if he knew all the answers in advance.

Unaccompanied, Lucas had to turn on the system.

Seeing the 27,700 achievement points, he was looking forward to tomorrow night's festival special lucky draw.

But before that, he had to find a way to finish collecting 30,000 achievement points.

Such a lottery is fun.

~Bang!~

A head of fiery red hair suddenly bumped into Lucas' arms.

Looking at Ginny Weasley who fell to the ground.

Lucas held out his hand to the youngest Weasley: "Are you okay? You are in such a hurry, are you in trouble?"

Ginny shook her head in panic.

She randomly picked up the books on the ground, and seeing Lucas going to pick up Tom's diary, she hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, don't touch that diary."

After that, she snatched the diary first, organized her books and said in panic, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Looking at the little redhead who ran away in a panic, Lucas' eyes became thoughtful.

'Has she already noticed it? It seems that the day she throws the diary away is not far away.'

Ginny realized that she was being bewitched, so it wouldn't be long before she was taken into the Chamber of Secrets.

Lucas needs to get ready, there is not only the basilisk waiting for him in the secret room, but also 2500 achievement points.

'How can I get Ginny Weasley to open the Chamber of Secrets before 12 o'clock tomorrow night?'

Lucas walked towards the dormitory while thinking about the solution.

Ever since they learned that the monster came from the Forbidden Forest, the Aurors set up several lines of defense around the Forest.

Since there have been no attacks on students at Hogwarts this month, it caused the Ministry of Magic to show off in the newspapers.

And Minister Fudge even took all the credit for himself.

At this moment, right under their feet. Aragog the acromantula, was busy digging a tunnel to Hogwarts at the behest of Lucas.

That's right, it was Aragog being controlled by the Imperius Curse who attacked the Auror not long ago.

Soon the day was coming to its end, Lucas cast the Disillusionment Charm and went to the door of the Gryffindor common room to wait.

It didn't take long before a smaller figure walked out from inside.

Ginny Weasley was very conflicted at the moment, she knew she was being controlled.

And she even remembered how she wrote the words in blood, how she unleashed that terrible monster.

She remembered even more that the black diary in her hand was the one that tricked her into doing all of this.

Since she realized it, Ginny never touched the black diary again. But every day when she saw the diary, she would think of those horrible memories.

So she wanted to find a place to throw the diary away, but unexpectedly, she met Lucas which prevented her from throwing away the diary.

Lucas followed Ginny Weasley all the way to the sink on the second floor bathroom.

In the dead of night even the ghosts had entered a state of rest.

Myrtle was hiding in her toilet, thinking wildly when she suddenly saw a dark object hitting her, passing right through her body.

She furiously went out of the toilet but there was no one in the bathroom.

At the thought that even after becoming a ghost she was still being bullied, Myrtle's tears immediately flowed down her face.

Although she has no tears!

Lucas, who witnessed the whole process, ignored Myrtle.

He turned and walked out of the bathroom, and walked towards the place where Harry and others often meet.

Everything is ready, and now Harry is the protagonist.

Since he promised Dumbledore he would protect Harry, it's just a matter of course that Lucas had to give the savior and himself a chance to enter the Chamber of Secrets openly.

Only this time, if Harry wanted to gain fame like last year, it would not be so easy to obtain it.
