Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 139 “This place is full of lunatics and monsters, and you rush in and tell me I shouldn’t mess with your mother?”

"So this letter is... a threatening letter?"

Hermione's face suddenly changed.

"Look what it is."

"You know what the best way to avoid mail scams is?" Cohen said. "It's to not read the contents of those weird letters."

Cohen stuffed the letter into his pocket.

It's better for Hermione and the others not to get involved in such matters. The three little ones should just play the development game with Dumbledore in Hogwarts. There is no need for them to have anything to do with the Silver Key Rally which is not in the main storyline at all.

Until the end of the month, there were no more attacks at school and the students thought the incident was over.

"Maybe the Heir of Slytherin is scared."

At breakfast on January 31st, Angelina of Gryffindor deduced,

“The professors are on patrol every day.”

"Or maybe it's the Quidditch match coming up," Fred interrupted. "He needs to play."

"Because the attacker just changed his method, we think the culprit is Wood. We always feel that he will attack us, such as suddenly grabbing us on the court-" George cooperated, and made a suffocating gasp in his throat, "'If you don't win the next game, I will turn you into stone!'"

The two of them made the Gryffindor students laugh.

Harry and the others were in a low mood.

After breakfast, they were walking Harry to the Quidditch pitch because Harry had to practice.

"If it's not Malfoy, then who else could it be?"

Harry said puzzledly.

Thanks to Coin's special channels, they easily obtained the Polyjuice Potion, and with the help of the Earl, they got Crabbe, Goyle and Millicent's hair.

But even the Slytherin students couldn't get any useful information out of Malfoy. According to Malfoy, he was in a low mood these days because of his father's reasons, and his grades were not satisfactory to Lucius.

"Which student would collaborate with Voldemort—…!?"

Harry caught sight of Coin but quickly shook his head.

"It can't be you again... Cohen?" Ron said half-jokingly.

"Cohen was with me, so it couldn't possibly be Cohen," Hermione said. "Cohen and I went to Filch's detention together that day."

"I was just trying to make the same joke I did with Fred and George..." Ron explained quickly.

"Of course not me." Cohen said, arm in arm with Harry, "We are good brothers. I will not work for Voldemort."

"I never doubted you, Coin," Harry sighed, "but Voldemort must have considered you a real threat now – he must have been furious when you stopped him from getting the Philosopher's Stone last year."

This year, you are Voldemort's only target, little Harry.

Cohen shook his head.

However, his progress wasn't particularly smooth. The potion he'd previously researched to make the basilisk resist Parseltongue's control hadn't shown any improvement—because Cohen discovered that it was most likely an accident. Sissoko's blood was much more complex than the old basilisk's, as if it had been injected with a variety of mixed potions, some to resist cold, some to resist heat, some to neutralize toxins, some to dilute foreign spells...

There's even rooster blood, which is equally lethal to basilisks—but for some reason, Sissoko survived being injected with it.

Simply put, Sissoko is now a melting pot, with all kinds of potions stuffed into its veins, and these things have achieved a delicate but stable balance.

Cohen couldn't tell which ingredients were effective because he didn't have other basilisk subjects to test. So if he really wanted to do a similar experiment on the old basilisk, he would have to inject all the ingredients in Sissoko into the old basilisk's body in equal proportions.

One dosage mistake and the old basilisk will die!

Considering Sissoko would be deeply saddened if the old basilisk died, the kindhearted Cohen planned to carefully mix the potion's ingredients slowly to increase its success rate. He would discuss the matter with the old basilisk after the potion was complete. Whether or not to inject him was up to the old basilisk's own discretion.

Do you want to be beaten by Harry and Dumbledore together or take the potion to fight for a chance to survive?

After dinner, Cohen stuffed Sissoko into a box.

"Just stay here at the entrance. Come out when I call you."

Cohen told Sissoko,
"Don't go into the sheep pen or the pig pen. If you go there, they will all die. Norbert will fight you to the death."

"Where does your dragon live?" Sissoko looked at the hilltop in the distance. "Okay, I'll stay here."

It was coiled into a heap.

"That's great... I can live here from now on..."

Sissoko said comfortably,
"No wizard, no cockerel, and a flock of sheep and a herd of pigs... I love you so much—"

Cohen got goosebumps all over his body.

After leaving the box, Cohen picked it up and planned to jump directly from the castle from the Room of Requirement and fly to the place mentioned by the silver key.

Cairngorms, Caves Beneath Sirius.

With the invisibility of the tracker cloak, Cohen's night walks could not be discovered at all, but the field mice were almost used up, so he had to ask the count to catch a few more when he returned.

Cohen sucked souls to become invisible and left the bodies for the Count as a midnight snack. It was a perfect food chain - except that no one spoke up for the vole.

The Cairngorms are also in the Scottish Highlands and are part of the Grampian Mountains.

Cohen found it quickly - and the Sirius in the night sky was extremely bright, making it easy to find the cave mentioned in the letter.

At the foot of the continuous mountain range, a dark deep hole, almost as big as the giant monster, was exposed in the forest.

Visibility was poor at night, and these Silver Key men were wearing black cloaks, but Cohen could still easily spot them with his soul vision.

[Soul Strength: 17]

[Soul Strength: 15]

A weak wizard, I guess his only role in guarding the cave entrance is to shout and make some noise when outsiders appear.

However, Cohen still did not show up, but chose to ignore the group of people outside and go straight in.

Since I am invisible, I might as well observe what is going on inside secretly.

Cohen drifted deeper into the cave.

There were five or six people inside - all wearing black robes, but their soul strength was much higher than the two outside. Most of them were around twenty years old, and the only one was over thirty. Cohen recognized him.

[Soul Strength: 31]

It was the same man who had been peeping at Cohen's tricks from outside the Hogwarts window.

This is the inner center of the cave. The overall shape is circular, and there is a huge deep pit in the center that is about four people high. This should be the place where the "cave fight" takes place.

The rocks on the wall were covered in strange symbols smeared with blood, and if these people weren't such rubbish, the atmosphere here would indeed feel a bit like a horror movie.

There are several branching passages around the cave, extending in all directions, and at the end are the contestants who are about to participate in the gladiatorial contest.

For example, the Times colleague who offended Rose - Elvis McCoy.
