All the changes in the world begin with Tom Cat

Chapter 39 Shock!Dinmao was petrified! (4k words)
Ever since something went wrong in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lockhart's influence on students has become somewhat negative.

Although Lockhart couldn't hear it, the students might as well complain about Lockhart's unreliable behavior to their professors.

For example, the Slytherin snakes mentioned Lockhart to their beloved Professor Snape.

Snape's zombie face showed a disdainful sneer: "He is just a vulgar person who uses the Forgetting Curse to deceive people everywhere!"

Then, Snape stopped talking.

Because Lockhart really had nothing to say in his opinion.

Had Dumbledore not needed to undo the impact of Quirrell's departure, he would have suggested that this man be kicked out of the school.

But after Quirrell disappeared, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class didn't get much better.

Snape thought it would be better to let him teach!

After all, in the entire Hogwarts, besides Dumbledore, who else is more familiar with the spells of dark wizards than him?
And the students all miss Professor Quirrell a little bit. After all, he is still much more reliable than Lockhart.

What the little wizards didn't know was that their Professor Quirrell had already gone to meet the great wizard Merlin.

As for Lockhart, after the embarrassing incident in the last class, he still shamelessly continued to come to class.

This was unexpected by Ding Hai.

Not only is this man narcissistic, he is also shameless.

Ding Hai expressed his admiration.

Forget it, let’s not mention Lockhart for now.

That night, Ding Hai slipped out of the bedroom alone.

Because he couldn't sleep, he just didn't know what was going on recently. A little wizard snored loudly and always talked in his sleep. Even though Ding Hai had put in earplugs, he couldn't enjoy the quiet time.

So he could only go out by himself to relax and enjoy the loneliness and tranquility of the night.

Ding Hai walked quietly in the corridor when he heard a familiar meow.

This cat’s meow is so familiar, as if I’ve heard it somewhere before!

Just when he was confused, a gray little cat slowly walked out of the darkness.

Ding Hai couldn't help but be stunned. Isn't this Filch's cat Mrs. Norris?
How is it here?
When Mrs. Lorris saw Ding Hai, she meowed happily, then rushed towards him, and even nuzzled into Ding Hai's furry arms.

"Meow meow~" I also communicated with it in the language of the same race and asked it why it appeared here?
The following is the conversation between Mrs. Loris and Ding Hai.

"Mrs. Norris, why are you here? If Filch can't find you, he'll probably go crazy!"

"I don't care about him, meow! That old guy has a sour smell, it's so unpleasant! I came out to get some air tonight!
By the way, when I came here just now, I heard something strange on the other side of the corridor. I originally wanted to take a look, but I smelled your scent and came over. "

"Strange movement?" Ding Maomao asked in confusion.

Could it be that some strange magical animal has entered the school again?
After all, the troll from last time is still fresh in his mind.

Then he asked Mrs. Norris to take him to the place where the strange noise was coming from.

Mrs. Lorris also happily agreed, and the two cats chatted and headed towards their destination.

Soon, in the corner of the corridor, Ding Hai saw an obvious drag mark on the floor illuminated by the moonlight, as if some reptile had passed by.

"This smell is so terrible, meow~"

Mrs. Norris sniffed at the drag mark, and then hid in Ding Hai's arms in fear.

Ding Hai had no choice but to caress and comfort it.

This drag mark reminded Ding Hai of a dangerous magical animal.

Basilisk!
The basilisk was originally bred by a Greek black wizard who could speak Parseltongue, but was later transformed into a dangerous black magic creature. Once it meets its gaze, it will be petrified. This kind of petrification can only be made with specially prepared potions. can be lifted.

At the same time, the long fangs of the basilisk are highly poisonous and very scary.

If it was this thing, he would have to deal with it carefully.

After all, the basilisk is not a big, silly creature like a troll.

Then, he hugged Mrs. Norris and carefully followed the crawling trace.

If possible, he wanted to get rid of this basilisk, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble later.

And Ding Hai thinks that he can also suppress the basilisk. After all, snakes and cats are natural enemies.

Even without the crowing of the rooster, he thought that his claws could perform a just dissection on the basilisk.

The next moment, a corner was turned.

A monster with "long legs" appeared in front of him.

This monster is none other than the Basilisk.

Its body was quite large, probably more than 50 feet long, and its body was emerald green. Its two fangs were long and thin, shining with a cold light, and its big round yellow eyes were staring at him.

Ding Hai and the Basilisk's eyes immediately met.

Haven't waited for him to make a move.

Ding Hai found that his body could not move.

When he lowered his head and looked down, he saw that his body was quickly covered with a layer of stone plaques starting from his feet. After a while, the entire cat turned into a stone sculpture.

Mrs. Loris was furious when she saw it, but she seemed to know that she was no match for this big guy, so she hurriedly jumped from Ding Hai and disappeared into the darkness.

And Voldemort behind him was extremely happy to see this.

"I finally got rid of this damn cat!"

Because last time he was clearly about to get the Magic Stone, but Ding Hai hindered him.

Now that the basilisk is staring at him, it will probably take a long time just to remove the petrification.

Moreover, the mandrake in Hogwarts is not mature yet, so it is impossible to prepare a resurrection potion to remove petrification in a short time.

Then, Voldemort left a line of red letters on the wall and gave the order to the Basilisk to return to the Chamber of Secrets.

On the other side, Filch held a lantern and looked for his lovely and charming Mrs. Norris.

"Mrs. Norris! Where are you?"

Not long ago, Mrs. Norris actually ran away from his arms. He originally wanted to chase her, but he was old and his legs and feet were not so agile. He is still looking for her.

"Meow~"

Just then, a familiar voice sounded, making Filch's eyes light up.

She couldn't help but shout in the direction of the voice: "Oh~ My Mrs. Loris, do you know how hard it was for me to find you?"

Mrs. Norris was obviously not in the mood to listen to his nagging, but she gave a "meow" signal to him to follow quickly. If he didn't go, Tom would be in danger!

But Filch thought he had caught some naughty little wizard traveling at night again, and grinned: "Very good, let's go. I want to see which little wizard needs my punishment guidance again?"

Then, Filch followed Mrs. Norris to a part of the corridor.

Maybe it was because of the distance, and Filch wasn't very good with his eyes. When he saw a short voice standing motionless by the window not far away, he couldn't help but smile.

But when he took a closer look, he found that it was Ding Hai who had been petrified.

"Oh my god! Tom the cat is petrified!!"

Filch's shout immediately attracted the three little Harrys who were strolling out for a night out adventure.

After they heard Filch's cry, they hurried over and saw Ding Hai who was petrified.

"Oh my God! Tom!"

"What's going on? Filch, why did Tom become like this?" Harry asked quickly.

"It's you three little lions. Although you violated the school rules and went out for a night out, but now that we are talking about this, you should quickly go to Professor McGonagall and let her handle this matter."

As a result, Ron immediately ran out and found Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall was wondering why Ron chose this time to go out for a night out and wanted to scold him, but Ron's report was obviously more important.

After hearing this, Professor McGonagall quickly followed Ron to the crime scene.

After seeing the petrified Ding Hai, he was also stunned.

At the same time, a group of professors and Dumbledore were also attracted, and they also saw the line of words on the wall.

[The secret room has been opened, enemies of the heir, beware]

After Dumbledore saw this situation, he quickly asked Filch: "What happened? Filch?"

"Dear Mr. Principal, this is what happened."

Filch gave a brief explanation of the matter.

Dumbledore nodded upon hearing this, and then began to explore Ding Hai's situation.

"It seems that Tom was not petrified by the petrification spell, but was directly petrified by something."

Dumbledore saw something strange at a glance.

If he is petrified by the Petrification Curse, he can completely use the "Stop Curse" to remove it.

But that doesn't appear to be the case now.

"The murderers may be these three little wizards! I can prove it! The three of them came after I found Tom!"

Filch began to accuse Harry and the others.

But Hermione refuted it: "Mr. Filch, there is obviously no evidence for your accusation! Tom and we are good partners! How could you murder Tom?"

"Yes! Mr. Filch, if we harm Tom, what is our motive?" Harry and Ron also stood up.

"I" Filch was speechless.

And Dumbledore also stood up and softened: "Okay, don't argue. I just took a look and found that Tom was definitely not petrified by Harry and the others. If it was a petrification spell, I can also use a spell to lift it, but it doesn't work." no."

"Then Mr. Principal, what happened to Tom? If it wasn't petrified by the Petrification Curse, what else could it be?"

Harry asked quickly.

"It should be the basilisk. Currently, only this dangerous magical creature can cause people to become petrified. If you look at it for a long time, it will cause death."

Dumbledore replied.

"Oh my God! Why is there a basilisk in this Hogwarts? But I happen to be able to prepare the resurrection potion to eliminate the basilisk!"

At this time, Lockhart interrupted to show his presence.

But Snape didn't show much mercy to him: "Professor Lockhart, I think I am the Potions teacher in this school. There must be no one more professional than me."

Lockhart: "."

Others couldn't help but smile when they saw Lockhart becoming embarrassed.

But Dumbledore quickly got rid of this embarrassing scene and looked at Snape: "Then I leave this matter to you, Professor Snape. Professor Sprout's Mandrake will also come soon." It’s mature and can be used to prepare potions.”

In the end, Dumbledore still sided with Snape. After all, he knew that Snape was the most reliable one.

"I understand." Snape nodded.

Click click!

At this time, everyone suddenly heard a sound, like the sound of breaking stones.

"Did you hear that? It seemed like it was coming from Tom."

The people present looked at the petrified Ding Hai, as if they were leaning over to check what was going on.

The next moment, the stone statue suddenly broke into a hole, and a furry arm stretched out from the inside, holding a hammer in its claws.

He stretched his arm slightly and knocked the cat on the head of the stone statue.

Boom!
wow wow~
Then, everyone saw an incredible scene.

Because at this time, the grouper on Ding Hai's body broke into pieces and fell to the ground, making a clear crashing sound.

"Whoo~"

Ding Hai, who had lifted his petrified state on his own, touched beads of sweat and finally walked out of that damn "petrified black room".

He didn't react when he first encountered the basilisk. He woke up only when he heard the noise outside, and then he took out a hammer and knocked himself out.

But why are there so many people here?

Why are you still looking at him?
He was quite embarrassed to be a cat.

Looking at Ding Hai who looked shy, everyone was silent for a while.

A little bit of shock appeared on his face that refreshed his outlook on life.

Snape's mouth twitched, he took a deep breath, and then said: "It seems that there is no need to prepare the resurrection potion."

"Tom, you."

Just as Ron was about to say something, he was blocked by Ding Hai's claw.

I know what you want to ask, but don’t worry, we’ll talk about it later. Didn’t you see the principal and professor looking at him with “bright eyes”?

"Mr. Tom, I'm glad you're back to normal, but can you tell me what happened to you?"

Lao Deng also took a deep breath and asked with a smile on the magical kitten in front of him.

"Meow~"

Ding Hai shouted, then took out a piece of chalk and started drawing on a clean floor.

Then, a vivid simple drawing was displayed in front of everyone.

Because this painting is indeed very "vivid"!
After all, they all started to move strangely.

Among them, the cat that seems to represent "Tom" encountered a big snake and was petrified.

It’s such a simple stick-drawing experience.

He believed that everyone present should understand.

Everyone: "."

"Okay, let's leave the basilisk thing aside for now, I think we need to buy some roosters to be on guard."

After saying this, Dumbledore asked everyone to go back and rest.

Ding Hai couldn't wait to go back, after all, he was exhausted.

But after everyone left, Professor McGonagall stood expressionlessly in front of the four little ones, and fairly and strictly announced their punishment for violating school rules.

"Mr. Tom, although I am glad that you are not in danger, you, like Harry and the others, went out at night in violation of Hogwarts school rules. Tomorrow night you will report to Professor Lockhart and help him reply to fans. I I think he would be very happy!"

After that, Professor McGonagall left.

Ding Hai:? ? ?
Little Harry:? ? ?
