Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts.

Chapter 137: Pass it down, the heir to Slytherin is Kane's henchman!

Chapter 137: Pass it down, the heir to Slytherin is Kane's henchman!

The next morning, in the Great Hall, which should have been the start of a happy day, Hogwarts was happiest and most lively at this time of day, except for dinner.

The entire auditorium was extremely oppressive during breakfast today.

The reason for the oppressive atmosphere was nothing more than the addition of a rather discordant decoration to the ceiling of the Great Hall at Hogwarts.

Oh no, there are two.

Two poor first-year wizards from Ravenclaw School, one a pure-blood and the other a Muggle, were not only hung from the ceiling but also petrified.

Unsurprisingly, this was the method used by the Slytherin heir and his basilisk. After all, a single basilisk couldn't hang someone from the ceiling, whether by hanging them first or petrifying them first. A single basilisk couldn't do that.

Speaking of which, when Filch was petrified last time, the reactions were mixed. Some purebloods cursed Filch for dying a good death, while only some half-bloods and Muggle wizards felt a sense of shared sorrow.

This time it's different. This time, it's not just a Muggle who's petrified, but also a genuine pureblood.

Now the other purebloods won't keep jumping around, because what does that mean?

This suggests that the Slytherin heirs in that trench may not have supported them unconditionally.

They're either lackeys and heirs of other colleges, or they've taken shelter from the wind and sand, showing no mercy to their own family and tearing each other apart.

The atmosphere in the auditorium became somber, and it never returned.

Until... Dumbledore hurriedly led the professors to the Great Hall, carried the two victims to the infirmary, and then sent someone to let the parents of the two young wizards know that they were safe.

There are now two Mandrakes next to Hagrid's Hut, and almost all the young wizards at Hogwarts now have sunglasses that can block the Basilisk's deadly magic. The threat posed by the Basilisk to Hogwarts has been reduced to a very low level.

It's basically equivalent to catching a cold. With Mandela's essence and sunglasses, I was petrified by the basilisk in the morning, but if nothing unexpected happens, I'll be able to regain my energy and be full of energy again by the afternoon, posing to all sorts of professors.

Of course, except for Filch.

In short, the parents of young wizards at Hogwarts and the entire wizarding world knew that Hogwarts had suddenly acquired a basilisk. Fortunately, Hogwarts' countermeasures were among the best, preventing widespread panic throughout the wizarding world.

The parents of the two young wizards were still shaken. The pure-blood parents wrote to Dumbledore saying that after the children recovered, they should ask for leave for the two children so as to properly comfort their frightened little hearts.

Muggle parents, on the other hand, waved their hands dismissively, saying, "This world has magic now, what are you still saying? As long as the child doesn't die, let him do whatever he wants."

The troublesome matter for adults was thus perfectly resolved. Of course, it would have been even better if Dumbledore and the professors could have found the Basilisk's hiding place and the location of the Slytherin heir.

The little wizards, however, had entirely different thoughts.

This kind of thinking isn't common for first-year students, but it's a different story for upperclassmen, especially those in Ravenclaw. They know that the two petrified wizards in the house are always mischievous and equally annoying.

Just before the Christmas holidays, the two of them teamed up to steal Luna's hat and violently vandalized it.

If it were just an ordinary hat, or if Luna were just an ordinary Luna, they probably wouldn't remember it at all. But that's not the case.

The hat Luna was wearing looked strangely familiar to them, and after much thought, they came to an answer they absolutely did not want to admit: the horned hat belonged to Kane.

Last year, Kane and that horned hat were practically inseparable, but this year that hat appeared on Luna's head. What does that mean?

Luna is Kane's evil henchman!

When Merlin learned that they had seen Luna wearing a horned hat and being assigned to Ravenclaw, his heart nearly stopped.

All of them had only one thought: it was getting dark in Ravenclaw.

However, surprisingly, Luna turned out not to be a murderous and arsonist. On the contrary, apart from being a bit abstract, she was perfectly fine.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Ravenclaw had escaped unscathed, the two mischievous, like-minded first-year wizards made their grand entrance, not only stealing Luna's hat but also ruining it.

By the time they found out, it was too late. All they could do was take the two freshmen to Luna and sincerely apologize to her. Luna didn't say much, but the top hat and wreath that originally belonged to Kane on her head looked to them like Kane's wand and shadow.

The wand deals high damage, and the shadow deals high damage. Placing it above Luna's head is like seeing her own photo flashing on a black and white frame. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end, just when they thought they had gotten over this hurdle.

Unfortunately for the two parties involved, they ended up as mere accessories and were even petrified by the Slytherin heir!

Very well, my heart is finally at ease. It seems that Kane has not only not forgotten about those two little wizards bullying Luna, but he also has intricate connections with the heir of Slytherin.

Perhaps he himself is the heir to Slytherin; after all, playing with shadow magic looks incredibly evil, and he might be the mysterious successor of Salazar Slytherin.

Or, the even more terrifying outcome is that Slytherin's heir is Kane's lackey!

This is not impossible. Due to some uncontrollable reasons and the involuntary instincts of some people, Kane's identity as a Celestial Dragon is now well-known, and it is estimated that only he himself is unaware of it.

Therefore, whether viewed rationally or emotionally, it is highly possible that the two poor little wizards hanging on the ceiling were the work of Kane.

As breakfast ended, the young Ravenclaw wizards left Hogwarts Great Hall with very strange expressions on their faces.

His expression was exactly like he was accusing those two poor little wizards: Why did you have to provoke Kane for no reason!

Meanwhile, Kane, the imagined enemy in their minds and the person involved, was completely unaware that he was already equated with the heir of Slytherin among most of the Hogwarts members, and sometimes even considered greater than him.

If he knew, he would be absolutely astonished at his own unworthiness, but for now, he has no time to be astonished.

After all, Harry's flying broomstick and fire ring had just been upgraded, and in about half an hour Harry would be riding the fire ring into the game.

The upgraded ring of fire has a top speed of 189 miles per hour, so he is now extremely satisfied with his skills.

Oh, I have a slightly ominous feeling, but it shouldn't be like this. The magical defenses on Harry's ring of fire are thick enough to penetrate a tank...

If this ominous feeling doesn't come from Harry's injury, then where does it come from? How strange!

Never mind, I guess I was just overthinking it.

Kane nodded in agreement; clearly, he had been overthinking things.
