HP Dual Masters and I had a blast in Hogwarts.

Chapter 162 Finding Amusement When Bored

After Riddle left, the basilisk hissed as it crawled out.

"Don't go out during this time. I don't want anyone petrified one day, and then I'll have to clean up the mess. If that happens, I'll stew you." I threatened the basilisk with a smile, not wanting it to wander around.

"I understand." The basilisk looked aggrieved. It had only followed its master's orders to go find me, yet it was the only one who got scolded.

I gently patted the basilisk's big head, put on my gold-rimmed glasses, and returned to my original appearance. I also restored the hickeys that Riddle had just left, and then returned the way I came.

But I didn't expect that when I used the 'Levitation Charm' to fly up, I would see someone standing to the side.

"Still wandering around at night, Ayers!" Severus was already waiting for me there. He had overheard my conversation with Harry nearby, so he knew I would be out at night. However, he was confident in my safety and didn't follow me down into the Chamber of Secrets.

"Severus, this is for you." Even if Severus hadn't been waiting for me here, I still brought him some gifts.

"This is the basilisk's skin, right? And the basilisk's venom and blood. Did you get all this stuff down there?" Severus didn't ask me how I knew about the entrance to this secret chamber. He wouldn't ask unless I brought it up. He took the things I handed him, and to my surprise, they were all rare potion ingredients.

“Yes, there’s a huge basilisk down there. This is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin, left by Salazar Slytherin for his descendants. Don’t let those little wizards know about it.” I gave myself a ‘clean up’ before approaching him.

"Don't take such risks next time. Even if I trust your abilities, you still need to be careful." Severus pulled me into his arms and hugged me.

"Okay, let's go. Are you planning to let me stay tonight?" I took his hand and we walked. It was so late, there shouldn't be any students lingering outside anymore, so I shamelessly took Severus's hand.

"If I don't take you in, you should go back to your own dormitory to rest. Otherwise, how am I supposed to explain if a student tells me you're missing tomorrow?" Severus is such a tsundere; he won't take me in. He has a lot of things to deal with.

"Severus, give me a goodnight kiss and I'll head back." We had already reached the entrance to the Slytherin common room; Severus had brought me here.

"Go back quickly, goodnight." Severus actually gave me a goodnight kiss, but it was on my forehead.

"That's what a goodnight kiss should be like." She grabbed his collar with one hand and pressed the back of his head to kiss him.

Severus was used to my sneak attacks. He closed his eyes, wrapped his arms around my waist, and leaned down to give me a deep kiss.

"Go back and get some sleep. You're not allowed to use the materials you just got," she whispered breathlessly in his ear.

"Mmm." Severus was also breathing slightly, burying his head in my neck and taking a deep breath of the blue rose scent I was wearing.

"I'm leaving, see you tomorrow." He gently stroked his black hair, then let go of him and walked back to the Slytherin common room.

Severus felt a little reluctant, but he wouldn't try to persuade me to stay, since he was the one who had just refused my offer to spend the night at his place.

After standing there for a moment to catch his breath, Severus pulled his robe over his shoulder, turned around, and left, heading back to his cellar. He had actually been planning to use the materials Ayers had given him to concoct a potion that evening.

I didn't expect Ayers to understand me so well, forbidding me from using those materials. Well, there's nothing I can do but wash up and go to bed.

When I got back to my dorm, I tiptoed to grab my pajamas, took a shower, and went to bed, since I'd been to an escape room tonight and my clothes didn't feel very clean.

Just as I was about to go into the bathroom, Theodore Nott suddenly appeared.

"Um? Junior, are you planning to use the restroom?" Given our awkward moment, I decided to speak first.

"Yes, senior, are you going to take a shower?" Theodore thought he might have drunk too much water before going to bed, and woke up in the middle of the night wanting to go to the toilet.

"Well, why don't you go first? I can wait." After all, everyone has to go sometimes, so let Theodore Nott go first.

"Okay, thank you, senior." Theodore immediately went into the washroom to take care of his needs.

After a while, Theodore Nott came out, and I took my pajamas and went in to wash up.

When I came out after taking a shower, everyone in the dormitory was fast asleep. I walked to Mingyue's side, picked him up from his deep sleep, and gently stroked his shiny black fur.

"What peaceful and tranquil days." Without Riddle's Horcruxes, will this school year be a bit boring? Should I release the Basilisk?

Standing there, looking out the window at the ugly mermaids, he seemed lost in thought.

After that, I stopped thinking about it and put Mingyue back in her cat bed before going to sleep on my own bed.

The next day, I got up on time again, washed myself, and went out of the dormitory.

When I left, both Draco and Theodore were awake.

They seem to have gotten used to my wake-up time; it's their wake-up time every time I leave.

They had originally planned to talk to Harry about the Chamber of Secrets again, but they didn't expect that the trio would never be able to stay still for a moment.

During Professor McGonagall's class, someone asked about the Chamber of Secrets, and then the story of the Chamber started circulating from the second year.

This has put me in a somewhat passive position. What should I do? It makes me want to play a prank.

That very evening, I found Severus and explained my plans to him, asking him to discuss with Headmaster Dumbledore whether I should create a Basilisk adventure game that year.

Of course, I'll only let the Harry trio play with it if I guarantee their safety.

Finally, the three of us spent the whole night plotting in the principal's office.

To create the atmosphere, I took some chicken blood from the kitchen along Harry's usual route, wrote "The Chamber of Secrets is open" on the wall, and even used the sleeping Moon to pretend to be petrified.

“Professor, I really don’t know why Senior Ayers’ cat is like this.” Harry was bewildered himself. He was just writing back to Professor Gilderoy Lockhart’s fan as usual.

After dealing with the situation, he heard the same language again, so he followed the voice back here.

Actually, I used the "Dragon Emerges from Cave" technique to summon a snake that would walk down the sewers and lead Harry to the location of the incident.

When Harry saw my cat and the lettering on the wall, he really had no idea what was going on.

Gilderoy Lockhart and some students who heard the noise also came over, and I, the designer, was also in the crowd.

When I saw Gilderoy Lockhart preparing to cast a spell on my Moon, I immediately stepped out.

"My Mingyue~ He seems to have been petrified by something." I pretended to be sad and hugged him, but actually I was just pretending to hide the fact that he was asleep.

"The Petrification Curse is a dark magic attack that can affect people, animals, and ghosts. The victim will lose consciousness. There is a way to remove the Petrification Curse: you can use mandrake to make an antidote, but it takes a lot of time to make it." The second actor appeared, and Headmaster Dumbledore explained in a very cooperative manner.

“I may need some time to prepare the antidote for Ayers’ cat. In the meantime, keep the cat in my cellar.” The third actor, Severus, took my Moon from my hands.

We discussed how to act last night, and our teamwork today was perfect.
