Chapter 27 Invisibility Cloak
The news that Colin Creevey had been attacked and was now lying in the hospital like a dead man only spread on Monday morning.
So that all the little wizards in the school were in danger and did not dare to act alone.
During this period, everyone kept it a secret from the teacher and exchanged amulets, amulets and other things to protect themselves. This practice soon became popular in the school. Neville Longbottom bought a large green onion with a stinking smell, a pointed amethyst and a rotting newt tail.
The result was that there was always a lingering stench in the common room, and even Cyrus could not stand it.
"Neville, you don't need these things. You are a pure blood and will not be attacked." Cyrus fanned his nose, trying to let in fresh air.
"But he attacked Filch first. Everyone knows that I am almost a squib." He said in panic.
Cyrus couldn't stand the smell, so he simply returned his body to Ginny and went back to his diary to study alchemy and spells.
"Um--"
"Hello, Mr. Riddle--Is the Quidditch match over?" Ginny asked in a daze.
Hearing Ginny's question, Cyrus remembered that he had not returned his body to Ginny these days, but fortunately, he had memorized all the scenes of the Quidditch match. Although his brain was distracted for a while, his eyes did not miss any details.
"It's been two days, Ginny, and today is Monday." Cyrus said seriously.
"Monday?" Ginny was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Mr. Riddle to use her body for so long this time. "Did something happen, Mr. Riddle?"
"Colin Creevey was attacked--" Cyrus tried to make his expression more solemn.
"Colin?" Ginny widened her eyes and looked very uneasy. She sat at the same table with Colin Creevey in the spell class, and the two were good friends who could communicate with each other. But now, Colin was attacked!
"Yes, this is all my fault! - When the cat was killed before, I thought it was a prank and didn't take it too seriously. Besides, it was me who suggested that he sneak to see Harry at night. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been killed." Cyrus said in a tone of responsibility, "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened again. I want to find out who the murderer is, so I plan to go into Slytherin with Harry and the others to see if we can find any clues."
"It's not your fault, Mr. Riddle!" Ginny said forcefully, "Who knows how crazy the heir of Slytherin is? Even if it's not Colin, it will be someone else. His purpose is to eliminate Muggles!"
He also told Ginny about the compound potion to prevent it from being exposed.
"Sorry, Ginny, I may have to borrow your body frequently during this period."
"It's okay, Mr. Riddle. It would be great if we could find the heir of Slytherin earlier." Ginny shook her head and said.
Ginny could fully understand Mr. Riddle's self-blame at this time, so she agreed to Cyrus' request without hesitation. And she almost forgot about Quidditch.
So in the following period of time, Ginny's consciousness was awake even less.
In December, Hogwarts began to snow heavily.
Professor McGonagall brought a pile of forms and asked those who planned to stay in school to fill out the application.
"Malfoy plans to stay in school for Christmas!" Harry said in surprise.
"This is too suspicious."
"But the compound potion has not been brewed yet." Hermione said urgently, "We must steal the potion in the potion class this Thursday, otherwise it will be too late. It's better to make a feint to the east and attack in the west!"
Harry and Ron's faces were very ugly. Let them steal the potion, Harry would rather go to fight Voldemort.
"I'll go steal." Cyrus took the initiative to take the job, "You create some chaos in class, and I'll sneak in."
"What, no! I can't let you get expelled!" Ron said fearlessly, "I'll go!"
Hermione quickly refused: "I can go, because I have no criminal record."
"It's hard for Snape not to notice that there is one less student in the class, right?" Cyrus asked back.
"But, Snape's office is at the back of the classroom, how can you sneak in when we are in class?"
"There is a way..." Cyrus looked at Harry, he was determined to go to Snape's office, "Borrow your invisibility cloak."
"I forgot I still have an invisibility cloak." Harry said suddenly.
Every time he used the invisibility cloak, he threw it everywhere, as if it was not a Deathly Hallows but a torn windbreaker.
At night, Cyrus got Harry's invisibility cloak, and that night, he wandered around the castle wearing a cloak.
"What's so special about the legendary Deathly Hallows?"
In his opinion, the magic of this invisibility cloak is no more powerful than a perfect Disillusionment Charm. Compared with the invincible Elder Wand and the Resurrection Stone that can resurrect the dead, it is indeed a bit mediocre.
"If you can't hide from Moody's magic eyes, how can you hide from the eyes of the god of death?"
"Or maybe the legend is just a legend. As Dumbledore said, the three Peverell brothers are just very powerful and dangerous wizards who successfully created these powerful artifacts. The story of the Deathly Hallows is just like some kind of legend that emerged around these inventions."
This possibility is indeed greater. Since Nicolas Flamel can create the Philosopher's Stone that turns stones into gold and makes people immortal, it is not so difficult to accept that the three brothers can create the Resurrection Stone that can bring people back to life.
The power of the Elder Wand seems to be closely related to the curse.
But whether the legend of the Deathly Hallows is true or false, the three artifacts do have their own special features.
Cyrus stroked the cold cloak and slowly came to the eighth floor.
"I need a room where I can study magic props."
"I need a room where I can study magic props."
"I need a room where I can study magic props."
When he turned around for the third time under the portrait of the troll while thinking this in his heart, a door appeared on the blank wall.
Cyrus took off his cloak, pushed the door open and walked in. The door disappeared immediately.
This is a room that is somewhat similar to the potion classroom, but not exactly the same. In addition to various crucibles, there are many mechanical objects, or objects that look like machines. In fact, they are all products of alchemy.
In the wizarding world, alchemy and potions are not completely independent, but an intersection.
