The Writing on the Wall

The next morning, Wizet and Luna returned from the greenhouse and found the Ravenclaw Common Room full of people.

All the books on the reading list were borrowed, and the students who borrowed the books dispersed to various parts of the lounge, holding the heavy, old books and reading aloud as if they were having a book club.

There were many people around, all of whom brought their breakfast back to the Common Room and filled their stomachs while listening to the reading, satisfying both their bodies and minds—a win-win situation.

The people reading will keep changing; once one person is thirsty and their mouth is dry, another person will take over the reading.

In fact, not only Ravenclaw, but the entire Hogwarts was talking about what happened last night.

As Wizet listened, she discovered that the students' discussions were not limited to the Chamber of Secrets; they were also talking about Mrs. Norris's current situation.

Mrs. Norris is now in the Hospital Wing, looking almost like a statue, lying stiffly on her hospital bed.

From this, Wizet could tell that Mrs. Norris was still alive; otherwise, she wouldn't have been transferred to the Hospital Wing.

Dumbledore's desire for him to go to the Hospital Wing is likely related to Mrs. Norris.

The library was busier than ever before, and among all the books that everyone wanted to borrow was "Hogwarts: Hogwarts, A History".

Madam Pince was already hoarse from talking, but she still had to say in a hoarse voice, "Wait a while, come back in a week."

As more and more students pre-registered, her excuse changed, and she said with great helplessness, "Come back in two weeks! You can't borrow it now!"

The students couldn't forget it, and Filch, as the person involved, naturally couldn't sleep all night. Early the next morning, he wandered around the corridor with the writing on it, sporting deep dark circles under his eyes.

He was like a vengeful ghost, who would inexplicably pounce on a student and viciously accuse the student of being the "murderer."

If the student repeatedly denies it, he will try to continue to cause trouble by using excuses such as "having a rosy complexion" or "wearing a black robe".

Faced with this situation, the students ignored the puddle and quickly crossed the corridor, trying their best to avoid being "haunted by Filch's vengeful spirit."

With a Polaroid camera in his hand, it wouldn't be so easy for Colin Creevey to run away.

As he waded through the puddles, he slipped and nearly fell into the water while trying to avoid Filch's arm.

"Colin Flies!" Wizet waved her wand and pulled Colin to her side.

Colin's sudden flight startled Filch.

When he saw Wizet holding a wand, he calmed down a little, pursed his lips, leaned against the wall, and made way for her.

Wizet walked up to Filch. "Mr. Filch, have you visited Mrs. Norris?"

Filch shook his head, a few more tears streaming down his face. "I can't go over there... Seeing Mrs. Norris lying in the hospital bed... my heart aches so much..."

Wizet continued, "I think you could take better care of Mrs. Norris and help massage her joints."

Filch, as if grasping at some hope, asked timidly yet urgently, "Will this... work?"

"At least it has companionship," Wizet said. "I've heard from others that Mrs. Norris was under some kind of Dark Magic and turned into a statue."

"I've read some magazines that mentioned a very similar condition and some treatments."

Filch asked impatiently, "What kind of treatment is it?"

"One approach is called Affection Therapy," Wizet said. "Family members can talk and chat with the patient as usual, which can be very helpful."

"If Madam Pomfrey thinks that's too noisy, you can also try touching Mrs. Norris and stroking her fur in the way she used to know to help her through this difficult time."

"I'll give it a try!" Filch nodded repeatedly, turning around twice before finally finding the right direction. "The Hospital Wing is in this direction... I almost forgot... Thank you! Thank you!"

Colin's face was full of admiration, and his voice trembled slightly, "Wizet, you're amazing! You actually convinced Filch!"

Wizet waved her hand. "Mrs. Norris is a very important member of Mr. Filch's family. It's just that things happened so suddenly that he didn't know what to do."

Colin left quickly, looking elated, as if he had learned some incredible secret.

Wizet, on the other hand, moved closer to the wall and carefully examined the writing on it.

"It felt like he was showing off..." Luna wasn't very close to the wall, "Like... a prickly creature living inside a hedgehog... I saw a lot of Nargles ..."

"It does seem like a show-off..." Wizet raised his wand, not getting too close, to feel the magic attached to the wall.

"It contains malice... Dark Magic... very sophisticated. Even those magical cleaning agents probably wouldn't be able to remove it..."

"To remove these writings, we need magic similar to Patronus Charm to counteract the malice and Dark Magic..."

Without a doubt, Ancient Magic: Purifying Cleansing Soul Washing Spell is an excellent choice.

In addition, Transfiguration is also a good option.

Aside from Ancient Magic Power, Transfiguration is arguably his most proficient type of magic.

"A very comprehensive analysis," Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly rang out. "However, I don't recommend that you stay any longer, otherwise you might not make it to class after breakfast."

"We can't be late for class!" Wizet nodded, bowed to Professor McGonagall, and said, "Professor McGonagall, we'll be going now!"

Watching Wizet and Luna leave, Professor McGonagall nodded gently, her eyes full of appreciation. " With Filch able to keep the cat company, the students will be better off."

After a midday rest, on her way to the Hospital Wing, Wizet encountered the Grey Lady, the house Ghost of Ravenclaw.

Compared to Gryffindor's house Ghost, "Nearly Headless Nick," The Grey Lady is much more aloof and indifferent.

The Grey Lady is usually a bit arrogant and doesn't pay much attention to students;

Even when dealing with Ravenclaw students, he would simply float in mid-air, answer their questions briefly, and not engage in in-depth conversations.

She seemed to prefer places where few people were around. Rather than searching the whole castle for her, it was better to wait in the Common Room or rely on chance encounters.

It is precisely because of this personality that seeing the Grey Lady is not an easy thing.

As Ghost of the school, the Grey Lady must have been at the school for a long time and might know something about the Chamber of Secrets of Secrets.

With that in mind, Wizet stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Hello, the Grey Lady."

"I remember you... Wizet." The Grey Lady lowered her gaze slightly, looking Wizet straight in the eye. "You did a lot to help us win the House Cup last year."
