Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 165 Quidditch Tragedy

200 experience points consumed, knowledge flooded into the mind.

Ted went through it carefully and found that it was a world similar to biochemical mutation.

Humans blasted space rocks to pieces with nuclear missiles, but suffered unexpected consequences. The radioactive fallout, combined with the asteroid debris, caused cold-blooded animals to mutate into horrible creatures.

As a result, most of the human race was exterminated, and the survivors were forced to hide in underground shelters to survive.

This illustrated book is the information about some monsters that the survivors have summarized at a heavy price.

Does it feel useless? Although the monsters recorded here are indeed quite novel, such as pond-sized toads and centipedes as thick as tree trunks.

But I'm not Hagrid... Wait! Maybe the knowledge here can be used in magical animal blood transformation?

Neville and his friends can cultivate the magical plants in "Plants vs. Zombies", so can I cultivate the monsters in this illustration? I also have the means to cultivate Pokémon! Look at Anzu, isn't he pretty good?
As for now... I need to cultivate a creature that can restrain the basilisk!

Ted knew that he and his companions would have to fight the basilisk eventually, just like they had to face Voldemort last year, so he made preparations early.

But what’s different this year is that it’s even more dangerous.

After all, Dumbledore didn't set up the Chamber of Secrets, so he could only do it indirectly, such as sending the phoenix Fawkes to deliver the Sorting Hat.

Let Phoenix ensure that the Savior will not be killed by snake venom.

But it's still very dangerous.

After all, if the Phoenix is ​​glared to death, bitten to death, hit to death, or swallowed by the basilisk... it will not be resurrected!
In this world, danger is inevitable. It is better to be prepared.

……

Ted took some time off to go to Hagrid's place.

Hagrid was very happy and called out to Ted to stay for lunch, saying that there would be stewed chicken for lunch.

Ted was stunned: I want a live chicken! A fighting cock among roosters! You have to make a loud noise even if you don't have to rely on the iron mountain. A stewed one won't do!
"Hagrid, I came here to ask you for a rooster!" said Ted.

"Rooster? Are you here for my chicken too?!"

"Ah? Who else is coming for your chicken?"

Hagrid waved his hands again and again: "No, no, my chicken has been ruined!"

Ted: ??? Who? Who is such a beast? Ah San?
Hagrid began to tell the story from the beginning. Just a few months after school started, his chicken was murdered.

I don’t know who or what animal killed them all. There was no bleeding, but their necks were broken.

Hagrid and Fang blocked the way for several days, but they still couldn't find the murderer.

Later we bought some chicks, and after several months they finally grew up, but they were killed again yesterday!
This time it looks like he was bitten to death by some animal!

"It looks like a snake! The wound looks like he was bitten to death by a snake!" Hagrid took a bite of the chicken leg indignantly.

Ted paused and put down his fork. "So, this big pot of chicken..."

"Yeah!" Hagrid nodded.

Ted: "I'm full! Take your time eating, I'm going to go back first! Remember to find me the most ferocious chicken!"

Ted ran out of the door and ran a long way. Then he quickly searched for his small bag: "Where's the antidote? I remember I always carry it with me!"

Ted finally felt relieved after finishing several bottles of potion.

I don't know what bit him to death, maybe a poisonous snake...

If Hagrid eats this chicken, it might be okay, but if I eat it myself, I might die!

The basilisk didn't do anything to me, but I was poisoned to death by Hagrid!
Hagrid was still very efficient. Within two days, he got Ted a big rooster.

How big is it? Let's put it this way, it's higher than Jerry's belly button!
Hagrid: "I bought it from a black market merchant! How is it? Are you satisfied? It's absolutely majestic and domineering!"

Ted: “Great!”

Jerry: Stay away from me, I'm scared! Please spare me, Brother Ji! Stop chasing me!
In the next few days, Ted kept Chicken Bro in an abandoned classroom and set up a transformation plan for it.

Although the crowing of a rooster is the fatal flaw of the basilisk, Ted did not dare to be careless. It is better to have no books than to believe in them blindly.

Now in the abandoned classroom, there are little white mice that have been given birth to magical powers, long-tailed thieves that have just grown out of their shaved hair, and Brother Ji, and An Su often comes... It feels like a zoo now.

Soon it was May 5th, and there was a Quidditch match today. Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff!

The little wizards have had a lot of trouble this year. There weren't so many things happening in previous years.

The little wizards are eager to cause trouble, but this year they really can't do anything, and they are even a little afraid of trouble.

It would be great to have a group activity now to relieve the anxiety and fear.

However, something went wrong.

Ted and his friends had not yet arrived at the Quidditch stadium. Not far from the castle, they heard Professor McGonagall's voice from the sky: "All students return to the common room. The match is cancelled! Prefects and student union presidents, get organized! Quick!"

Professor McGonagall's voice was a little stern and anxious, which immediately stunned everyone.

The younger students were just confused and didn't know why the game was cancelled, but the older students' faces changed as they realized something was wrong.

Sure enough, when Ted and his friends returned to the castle, they found people gathering at the stairs leading to the basement.

Harley had already taken the lead to watch the fun.

Ted and the others moved closer and heard crying. Ron turned pale when he heard the sound: "Peggy?!"

He suddenly pulled away the student in front of him and squeezed in...

There were about twenty people gathered in a group, including Professor Flitwick.

In the middle of the crowd was Paige Weasley kneeling on the ground crying, with a statue-like figure in front of her.

Apparently, someone had been possessed by the basilisk again! Fortunately, he survived.

Hermione suddenly covered her mouth, "It's Penelope!"

Ted avoided Paige's obstruction and saw the victim's face. It was indeed Penelope Clearwater, the head girl of Ravenclaw!

Ted glanced around and found the reason why she was saved from death - a piece of armor that was polished to a bright shine.

Penelope probably looked at the basilisk because of the reflection of the armor.

However, things are far from that simple.

Because in the corridor on the third floor, there was another person who was petrified, Pansy Parkinson, a second-year student in Slytherin!

In such a short period of time, two students were murdered!

The day's matches were cancelled, and all students were strictly prohibited from leaving the common room, with prefects guarding the door.

The previous victims had already made the little wizards nervous, and now the sudden appearance of two victims broke their nerves at once.

What's more, one of the victims was a pure-blood little wizard from Slytherin.

Didn't they say they were going to purge those who didn't deserve to be in the school? Why did they even target the purebloods of Slytherin?!
At one point, dozens of owls flew from the school to all parts of Great Britain.

The deans were discussing in the principal's office with extremely grim expressions...

In fact, when Justin and the fat monk were in trouble, the deans had already secretly searched the school.

But just like fifty years ago, nothing was achieved.

The head of the house had actually been secretly on guard, but Lavender from Gryffindor still suffered.

However, now it has reached two a day!

I can’t hold it back anymore!

When Lavender was petrified, some people in the outside world had already inquired about it.

However, as the greatest white wizard of this century, Dumbledore still has enough prestige, so no one tries to ask if something happened in his territory.

But now, it can't be suppressed at all.

That night, the owls brought the Daily Prophet Special Edition, which was full of news about what happened in the school. There were secret rooms, monsters, petrified students, and even ghosts...

A reporter named Rita Skeeter even pointed the finger at Dumbledore, questioning whether the greatest white wizard headmaster was too old and unable to bear the burden of being the headmaster.

Ted and his friends were furious when they saw what was in the newspaper during dinner.

Neville was trembling all over: "Nonsense! How dare this woman satirize Dumbledore? She, she..." The poor savior couldn't even curse!
Harley threw the newspaper away. "What stupid remarks? Rubbish reporter!"

Ron was so angry that his face turned pale, and Jerry was so angry that he couldn't eat - if it weren't for Dumbledore, a subhuman like him would never have been able to enroll in school. Dumbledore held a very high position in his heart.

Hermione also frowned: "How can she say that? As a reporter, she should be objective!"

In short, everyone was furious.

Ted comforted her, "Don't be angry. These mouthpieces have always been controlled by the brain. The reason why she is targeting the principal is probably not just her personal opinion."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked.

"Maybe someone asked her to say that. Dumbledore is in trouble now..."

The outbreak of the Quidditch tragedy directly triggered all the suppressed emotions.

The students were terrified, and many of them wrote letters home asking to be allowed to return home.

The dean and professors did not care about the impact and directly conducted a large-scale carpet search of the castle.

Even Ted's abandoned classroom was checked.

Ted moved the animals to the Room of Requirement ahead of time and didn't have to worry about anything else.

This abandoned classroom was assigned to him by Professor Flitwick to study and practice magic.

A full day of searching yielded nothing.

……

Under such circumstances, students continued to ask for leave to go home, and in less than two weeks, almost a quarter of them left.

If this continues, the school will be closed.

You have to know that the school was almost forced to close down fifty years ago, and later Hagrid was pushed out to take the blame.

What about this time?
