HP: Becoming a Maiden Heartthrob

Nalilian took Justin upstairs to see what the scream was about.

But as soon as I went upstairs, I saw that the corridor was crowded with people.

She and Justin squeezed in reluctantly.

Before she could squeeze to the front, she was pulled out of the crowd and held in a tight and warm embrace.

“You are here…”

With a low voice that sounded like someone who had survived a disaster, Nalilian leaned against the chest and heard the pounding heartbeat and heavy breathing.

She raised her head from his arms and met a pair of dark eyes that still contained traces of fear.

"Kerston," Nalilian couldn't help but call out.

He looked terrible, his hair was disheveled and there was a sheen of sweat on his forehead.

"Yeah," Kersten replied, leaning against the top of her head and closing his eyes.

"Lillian!"

Cedric also squeezed out of the crowd at this time.

"Ced!"

Nalilian waved at him from Kerston's arms.

Cedric quickly ran to her, half-knelt down and looked at her face carefully.

Nalilian was almost embarrassed by his gaze.

He just spoke, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I don't know what happened." Nalilian said quickly.

Cedric then smiled reassuringly and reached out to touch her cheek.

With her cheek held by his rough, broad hand, she noticed that Cedric, who always had a calm smile, also had messy hair and sweat on his forehead.

She couldn't help but ask, "But what happened?"

Make them so worried.

"Someone had written in blood on the hallway wall," Kersten said.

As he spoke, he let go of her and looked sternly at the corridor crowded with people.

"'The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the Heir, beware.' That's what it says," Cedric added, straightening up as well.

There was no smile on his face, he looked worried.

Nalilian was startled, then she remembered that this was a plot in the original novel.

This blood text should have been written by Ginny, and Ginny seemed to be controlled by a notebook when she did this.

That notebook was the one Voldemort kept when he was in school, and it contained Voldemort's soul.

"Lillian!"

At this time, Ernest also walked out of the crowd, followed by Justin.

"Senior Kerston, Senior Diggory."

Seeing the two seniors, he greeted them, his eyes landing on Nalilian.

He also looked embarrassed, and his wizard robe, which usually fit him well, was squeezed into a mess.

Just now, he, Kerston and Cedric were frantically searching for Narielian in the crowd, but he found Justin first.

However, after hearing Justin crying that he lost Nalilyn, he realized that Nalilyn must have been taken away by Kersten. He hurriedly took Justin to squeeze through the crowd and walked out, and sure enough, he saw Nalilyn.

It's great that she's safe.

"Lillian!"

Seeing Nalilian, Justin quickly ran to her and hugged her.

"You disappeared suddenly just now. I was so scared, woooo," he said with tears in his eyes, and then was pulled away by Kerston.

Facing this very famous cold-faced senior, Nalilian's brother, seeing the disgust in the other's eyes, Justin wiped away his tears and hid behind Ernest timidly.

Ernest faced Kerston, and seeing his expression, he immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Senior Ender, this is all my fault."

He shouldn't have let Lillian go with Potter and the others to attend the ghost's death anniversary.

Otherwise, at such a dangerous moment, when the two seniors asked him where Lillian was, he would not be speechless and want to beat himself up.

He should have figured it out long ago. Seniors Ender and Diggory had reminded him many times.

Potter is too dangerous to allow Lillian to come into contact with him.

"Kerston,"

Blocked by Kerston behind him, he saw the usually reserved Ernest with messy hair, a look of remorse on his face, hunched over, and bowing his head to apologize.

Nallylian couldn't help but be concerned about Luxton's clothes and pleaded for him, "I insisted on going to see it. It has nothing to do with Ernie."

"And I'm fine, right?"

Hearing her words, Kerston couldn't suppress his inner emotions. He turned his head to look at her with a look of suppressed anger on his face.

He spoke hoarsely, "You know, Potter and the others were there before we saw those words in blood."

"But you're not there!"

"Kxton..."

Nalilian was frightened by his expression and felt very sorry for what he said. She grabbed his clothes at a loss, and her eyes suddenly became hot.

"You need to calm down, Kerston,"

Seeing that something was wrong, Cedric walked between the two, separating the brother and sister.

He said calmly to Kerston, "Lillian is frightened by you."

Kersten closed his eyes and took a few steps back.

He also realized that he had lost his composure because he was too scared.

When he knew that Nalilien was traveling with Potter, but didn't see Nalilien with Potter and the others, he thought Nalilien had been abandoned by them.

Because he used Ernest to take revenge on Potter, he suspected that Potter would take revenge on him in the same way.

Seeing that Kston was calming himself down, Cedric looked at Nalilian and touched her head when he saw that she was looking at Kston worriedly.

He comforted her, "Don't blame Kersten, he's just too worried about you, Lillian."

"We didn't see you at Potter's place. Kersten thought you were the victim and rushed over to grab Potter by the collar, but Granger said that you, Lillian, left before them, so we went to look for you."

Kerston, Nalilian looked at the big boy with a gloomy face and felt guilty. She always made him worry.

"And," Ernest, who had been watching, spoke up about the critical situation, "just now when I came out of the crowd, I heard them say that there was a dead cat under the bloody writing."

"Yes, I heard that too!"

Justin was hiding behind Ernest, but when he saw Narielian being beaten by Kston and was about to stand next to Narielian, he was stopped by Ernest and actively joined in.

"That cat belongs to Filch. It's Mrs. Norris."

"They say he died on the lamp. It's horrible!"

It's a basilisk!

Nalilian's eyes widened as she remembered.

There is a basilisk in Hogwarts that has lived for hundreds of years and lives in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. It was left by Salazar Slytherin, the founder of Slytherin.

It is very powerful and anyone stared at by it will die.

The reason she knew it so well was because this basilisk was also on her list of targets...

"Because Potter and his team appeared at the scene before anyone saw them, they were taken away by the headmaster and professors who arrived to question them."

Ernest continued to talk about the situation at that time, easing the tense atmosphere among the few people due to the relationship between the Ende brothers and sisters.

"But Potter and the others went with us to attend the Ghost's Deathday tonight. They left even later than us, so it's unlikely they were the ones who did this."

Justin, however, spoke in a way that was irrelevant to the topic, causing Ernest to break out in a cold sweat.

Now is not the time to talk about Porter.

"Becoming an enemy of the heir!"

Ernest quickly changed the subject and shifted to the bloody words.

"Malfoy seems to know about the blood text and he's very excited."

"Yes," Justin, who had also seen it, nodded, "I saw the Slytherins surrounding Malfoy."

"Did Malfoy do it?" Cedric pretended to guess.

He just remembered that the Chamber of Secrets seemed to be related to Slytherin.

However, he looked at Kston, actually hoping that Kston could answer.

If Kersten answered, it meant he had calmed down and was able to follow their conversation, lightening the mood.

Kersten didn't answer, but looked at Nalilian and held out his hand to her, "I'll take you back to the lounge."

Nalilian was startled, then quickly nodded, took his hand, and was led away by him.

Cedric understood what he meant and did not move forward.

Ernest also understood this, so he stopped Justin who wanted to follow him.

It was obvious that Kersten wanted to talk to Nalilian alone.
