Chapter 63 Stare at Whoever Dies! Are You Afraid!

"Ah! Ann, Professor Anne! Hello!"

Harry, who was standing at the outermost part of the crowd, saw Annie walking towards them, and hurriedly greeted them, while stepping forward to help Ron, who was wet all over, to get out of the middle of the aisle.

The rest of Ron's body has almost recovered, but the right hand is still pointing forward stiffly, which looks a little funny. When walking over, little Annie couldn't help but look at him twice out of curiosity.

She suddenly felt that this person was so funny! Annie could tell that the big boy's fingers still had some traces of the spell cast, and the magic power of the whole right hand was still messing around! Could it be that the spell exploded in the finger? what! It seems that he must have failed to cast a spell and was backlashed! There are people who use their fingers as magic wands? What a fool!

"It's Annie! Did you know? Something terrible happened here just now!" Hermione was familiar with Annie, and whenever she wasn't in class, she would call Annie by her name directly, without the title of professor.

Seeing little Annie appearing here now, she immediately seemed to have found her backbone, and she no longer had to worry about being framed at will! You know, little Annie is very protective! Don't say anything about framing, even if Hermione really killed the cat, the little girl can settle it!

"Mr. Filch's cat was murdered by someone! It's the one hanging on the wall over there!" Hermione explained the situation to Anne, and helped the three of them get rid of the suspicion in the words! After all, the three of them did not kill the cat, they just happened to pass by here and met it!

"Huh? Murder a cat?" After hearing Hermione's words, Annie was a little dazed, and then looked at the wall, where there was indeed a dirty cat hanging upside down! And there seems to be some writing on the wall?

Annie stepped forward curiously and observed. She also wanted to know who was so bored to murder a cat? What's so good about a cat to murder? If you are unhappy, just drive it away! Or just burn it in a hurry? Now he still has the mood to hang a cat here, how boring is this person? Even Annie herself, she has long since stopped bullying these small animals for fun! She usually only bullies those ferocious big animals!

"No! It's not dead, it's just been petrified! And I'm sure, I can break the magic! It's just that they won't let it! Uh..." Seeing a chance to behave, Gilderoy Lockhart dared again He came out, but unfortunately, the people around ignored him, so he had to retreat back in embarrassment.

"Annie, what do you see?" Dumbledore asked from the side. In fact, he knew those words in his heart when he first saw them, and it was the same back then! Now he probably knows what made the cat like this!

Originally, he thought that he would deal with it directly when he was free, but after seeing Harry also present, he suddenly had an immature plan! Maybe after a little brewing, this matter can be used to cultivate the boy he is optimistic about: Harry Potter?

"Oh...! That's right! This cat is not dead! It is not completely petrified! It is in a strange semi-petrified state! It's like... the soul is frozen! So it can't move!" Annie checked After finishing Mrs. Norris, she lowered her head and thought for a while. This state is very miraculous, much like a story her father, the mystic Gregory, once told her! She used to think it was just a story! I didn't expect to see a similar situation here!

Rumor has it that the youngest daughter of a certain family in Noxus was transformed into a terrifying creature with the head of a man and the body of a snake after being infected by the venom of a Shurima tomb guard! Her eyes have also undergone special changes, often just a glance can bring death!

In the war against Demacia, countless ordinary Demacia soldiers would instantly petrify and lose their lives when they saw her eyes directly! And people who see her eyes indirectly will become half petrified like this cat! What's her name? Cassiopeia? probably?

"And then?" Realizing that it didn't take long for Annie to see so many things,

Dumbledore motioned for her to go on! It took him a long time to observe carefully before he detected that the cat was in a semi-petrified state, but he didn't see that the soul was frozen or something!

"If I'm not mistaken, it's not caused by magic! It should be caused by some kind of nasty creature!" Annie said excitedly, pointing to the cat hanging upside down.

"In our Valoran continent, there is a snake monster with a human head and a snake body that can cause a similar situation! People who see the eyes of the snake demon directly will be petrified by the sight and lose their souls and lose their lives! Those who see indirectly are like It’s like this! Because the deadly petrified vision is only seen indirectly, and its power is not enough to take away its soul, so it was frozen! It should be like this!”

Annie turned her head to look at the surrounding environment, and then she found the stagnant water in the corridor, "Ha! I know! There may be a snake monster here! Then the cat saw the snake monster's body from the reflection in the water. Eyes! Yes! It must be so!"

"Snake, snake demon?" Hearing such a terrifying thing, Harry, Ron and Hermione quickly moved closer to the crowd. They never expected such a terrifying monster to exist in Hogwarts Castle! Die if you look directly into the eyes? Can't you see it indirectly?

After listening to Anne's words, Snape bowed his head in thought. He didn't realize it before, but after Annie's words came out, the word snake demon reminded him of some rumors from the past. So, he quickly looked up at Dumbledore, and sure enough, the old man's expression made him confirm his guess just now!

hum! Snape snorted coldly in his heart! This old man really knows what happened here better than anyone else! It's just that he didn't want to say it out, and wanted to keep everyone in the dark! Who knows what he's thinking again? The virtue of this old thing is as bad as ever!

"The snake monster's eyes are so powerful? So! Is there any way to avoid the damage?" Unexpectedly, it would be such a terrifying creature, Gilderoy Lockhart couldn't sit still right away! This is a terrible thing, how can he not be nervous?

Harold himself knows his own abilities best. This kind of creature whose life may be in danger of seeing his eyes cannot tolerate him not being nervous! Just looking at it will kill you! This is too exciting! How can those vampires and werewolves in his book compare with this snake demon? Besides, those books were blown out by himself! If he was really allowed to meet the snake demon, he might be finished in minutes!

"Well... It seems that you can only resist with your own magic power? If the magic power is strong enough, you can fight it! Otherwise, just don't look directly into its eyes!" Annie Of course I know the weakness of this monster, its petrified vision is nothing more than a talent for using magic power! As long as your strength is strong enough, you don't have to worry at all!

Annie is confident that even if she looks directly at it, she will at most consume a little magic power and feel uncomfortable for a while! After that, you can burn it directly! Anyway, in Annie's opinion, there is no creature that can stare itself to death just by looking at it!

Annie has read the battle report before! When Noxus and Demacia fought in groups, that female snake named Cassiopeia could only petrify the heroes of Demacia for a short while! And it's only petrified for a short period of time! Not fatal at all!

It can be seen that this kind of petrified vision is not a panacea! It can only work wonders when it hits creatures that are weaker than it! And the line of sight itself still needs to consume mana! Otherwise, if they stare at whoever dies, what kind of group fights do they have all day long? If you have nothing to do, send the snake girl out for a couple of laps, and the whole world of Valoran will belong to them Noxus!

"This... powerful magic? Resist it yourself?"

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like something like yourself can bear it by force, does it? Gilderoy Lockhart felt that, for the sake of his own life, he should buy a pair of sunglasses and wear them at all times after returning home! If you have glasses, it shouldn't be regarded as direct eye contact, right?

"That's it! Then, Severus, do you have any way to get rid of this state?" Dumbledore felt that the basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets seemed to be useful, and now it just needs to be monitored secretly! So he quickly changed the topic, and didn't want to delve into it any further!

"The school's herbal medicine room has recently received a batch of seedlings of Mandrakes. When they mature, they should be able to make a universal potion that can remove all petrification or abnormal states!"

Snape untied the petrified cat from the torch holder and held it by its tail in his hand. He needed to study it after he went back and make a suitable potion according to its current state to ensure nothing would go wrong!

"Ah! Mandrake! I'm good at this! I'm especially good at mixing Mandrake-related potions!" Gilderoy Lockhart, who refused to sit still for a moment, popped up again, desperately trying to gain a sense of presence.

"Sorry! I'm afraid I'm the Potions teacher!" Snape didn't give Lockhart any good looks, and stared at him coldly.

He has long since disliked this little boy who likes to brag! In fact, he doesn't like all the little faces! What's more, this bastard had snatched Snape's coveted Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship! It's fine if you grab it, but now you want to interfere with his duties as a Potions professor? This is really unreasonable! If it weren't for being in school now, Snape would have pulled out his wand and hit him hard!

"Okay! That's it! Minerva, take the students back to rest! This matter needs to be kept secret for the time being, and try not to cause panic!" Dumbledore didn't want to get entangled in the matter of a cat anymore Well, he still needs to spend some time deliberating on the basilisk matter! So he quickly called Professor McGonagall to protect Harry and the three of them back to the Gryffindor lounge, and told them to keep it secret!

"Okay! Let's leave, everyone!" Seeing McGonagall leaving with the three students, Dumbledore returned to his principal's office with an apparition.

"Please wait, Professor Snape, next Friday night, I plan to hold an interesting duel club, I wonder if you are interested in coming to guide?" Seeing that Snape was about to walk away with the cat, Loha Te hurriedly stopped him.

"Oh? The Dueling Club? Hehe! I think I'll go!" Snape looked Lockhart up and down, as if thinking of something interesting, he nodded in agreement! Then he flicked his black wizard robe that had never changed for thousands of years, turned around and walked away quickly.

Filch also followed behind Snape, because his pet cat, Mrs. Norris, was still in Snape's hands, so he must take good care of it!

"So, little Professor Annie? What about you? Are you interested?" Lockhart turned to look at Annie, and he and Annie were left in the corridor.

"Duel Club?" Annie tilted her head and thought for a while, then directly refused: "I don't want to play with the strange uncle! Goodbye!" In the luxury suite at the top of the castle!

Blame, blame uncle? All right! If you don't come, you won't come! He, Harold, was a little worried that this little girl would affect his performance too much! It's better not to come! so be it!

After everyone had left, the corridor became quiet again, and Lockhart was the only one left here! Looking at the dim surroundings, Lockhart was so frightened that he shuddered on the spot after remembering that snake demon who was about to die at a glance, and quickly lowered his head, only daring to look at his own toes. , and then began to walk away with quick steps!

As he was walking, he whispered in his mouth: "Snake demon, don't come out! Don't come out! We have no grudges in the past, and we have no grudges in the present! Don't come out to scare me! Merlin bless! God bless..."

How does Harold care whether wizards believe in God or not? Merlin definitely believed it! As for whether Merlin has the function of blessing believers, he is not very clear! Think about how wizards often joke about Merlin's beard, Merlin's underpants, etc. Now Merlin has been played badly and turned into a tone of words! Presumably Merlin will not bless him after he finds out, right?

As for God..., Harold suddenly remembered an interesting thing. When witches were burned and wizards were burned, the Church was the one that burned the most, right? Then why do wizards still celebrate Christmas every year? what! Looks like a great project! Maybe I should write a new book dedicated to this research? The title of the book is: Harold's Discovery of the Century?
