Chapter 163: “Sean’s Approach”

The search in the castle continued, but just as Sean expected, the professors found nothing. Hogwarts holds too many secrets, too many for everyone to imagine.

More panic spread and the students trapped in the hall had already started discussing various topics.

Such as “Will I die?”, “Will Hogwarts be closed because of this?”, “How many times does the monster in the Chamber have to eat every day to be full?” and so on. Even the Slytherin students were a little scared. After what Sean said, they were a bit nervous.

Will their Muggle ancestry be the reason they are being sterilized, too? Will the heir of the Chamber of Secrets feel that their sorting into the Slytherin house is an insult?

No one had made any trouble with Sean. Bulstrode’s situation has proved that this kind of thing should not be taken lightly anymore. No one dares to do anything, as everyone is a potential victim now.

Sean naturally didn’t take these little things to heart. The psychological changes of the Slytherin students were out of his focus.

Sean has been asking the professors back and forth for more information, and according to Professor Flitwick, his idea of ​​the basilisk has been confirmed.

“All the chickens in the school are dead,” said Professor Flitwick, clutching his wand with a few chicken feathers on his head, “The same person must have done it. All of the chickens had their throats slit.”

He looked at Sean, “Like you said, the spiders in the castle started to move away.”

“I see.” Sean said softly.

Professor Flitwick looked at him with admiration, “Sean, you are so perceptive. You deduced the reasoning behind all of this in such a short period of time. You are indeed a real Ravenclaw student.”

Sean, “Oh, it’s just pure luck. I just made a bold assumption.”

While the two were talking, Professor McGonagall and Newt walked in.

“A very thoughtful idea...” Professor McGonagall replied, “This may directly hurt the basilisk if the recording can be transmitted into the entire water pipe.”

Newt nodded, “It’s worth trying. But like Sean said, the recorded sound may not cause much harm. After all, no one has tested it with a real basilisk. Moreover, the water pipes in the castle extend in all directions. There may be a hidden entrance and exit that we don’t know, and this is also a problem that needs to be paid attention to.”

“I have a way. Although this method is not very pleasant, I think it would work well.”

“What’s that?” When Sean uttered his idea, their expression became curious.

Sean looked into the hall, where the students were chatting with concern, and said in a low voice, “Since Professor Dumbledore hasn’t returned yet. Let’s start by protecting ourselves first, and I have an idea.”

Sean told them in a low voice.

“But there is a problem. Diagon Alley probably won’t be able to provide us that much.” Professor Flitwick said.

“That’s okay,” Sean looked at Professor McGonagall, “Professor McGonagall, can you contact Charlotte?”

“Miss Hawke? Of course. She is preparing for the Ministry of Magic’s Auror training. We have been in frequent contact during this time.”

“That’s great. You can take Miss Hawke to find my father. My father is more, uh, sensitive to wizards. He knows Charlotte and will believe that she came from Hogwarts.”

He continued, “Of course, it would be better for Professor Scamander to go as well. I will write a letter and give it to my father later. He can help us with it.”

“Sean, will this trouble your family?” Professor McGonagall was a little moved. She was a little embarrassed to let a student bear these burdens.

“This is a top priority. As for my father, this is a small matter.” Sean said with a smile.This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
