Chapter 324: A New Halloween
Chapter 324: A New Halloween
Halloween Banquet... Skeleton Dance Troupe?
Wow, this brings him back to a few months ago.
Although it seemed unbelievable, Kyle naturally accepted this fact, and his expression didn't show any significant changes.
He had met someone from a thousand years ago, returning to a few months ago was no big deal.
After bidding farewell to the two second-year Ravenclaw students, Kyle walked alone down a corridor on the right... This was also where the first attack occurred.
The students had all gone to the Great Hall, leaving the corridor empty.
Kyle sat in an empty classroom, waiting and thoughtfully looking at the diary in his hand.
Now he finally understood why this thing had disappeared without a trace back then.
He had wasted so much time investigating the diary, only to find out that it had been with him all along.
Kyle sighed softly, and Gryffindor was right; time was indeed not something to be tampered with, it was truly tormenting.
However, he was curious about how the first attack would happen now that the diary was here...
Time passed slowly, and Kyle hadn't heard any cheers coming from the Great Hall for a long time.
This indicated that the Skeleton Dance Troupe had left, and the students had started eating. If this continued, the banquet would likely end soon.
Kyle sat tensely in the room.
Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind... Could he be the one who carried out the first attack?
Since the diary was in his hand, it meant that at this moment, he was the only one who could control the Basilisk.
"Am I really going to become the Heir of the Chamber of Secrets...?" Kyle felt conflicted.
But just as he hesitated about whether to go to the Chamber, he suddenly heard Filch's voice from outside the corridor.
"I've had enough of this... Throwing balloons everywhere, drawing turtles on the paintings, as if I don't have enough work already..."
Here he comes...
Kyle quickly left the room and used the Disillusionment Charm to hide himself behind the stair railing.
Not far away, Filch was walking towards him from the other end of the corridor, grumbling and bent over, using his mop to clean the water stains on the floor.
"Damn Peeves... No, I have to go find Dumbledore..."
Filch was getting closer, and in the original timeline, he had been attacked on the third floor.
Kyle wasn't sure if he was the one who had attacked Filch... If so, what should he do?
Should he go to the Chamber and summon the Basilisk?
But Filch had already appeared, and he might leave for another floor at any moment. Even if Kyle wanted to go to the Chamber, he wouldn't have enough time...
"Bang!"
Just as Filch walked to within two meters in front of Kyle, the door of the nearby bathroom suddenly burst open from the inside.
A huge head emerged, followed by a long body...
"No fireworks are allowed in the castle..."
Filch instinctively looked up upon hearing the noise, "This time, I'm definitely going to lock you up..."
"Close your eyes!" Kyle shouted.
The Basilisk obediently closed its eyes.
But it was too late.
When the Basilisk had emerged from the bathroom, it had also brought out a large amount of water.
As Filch looked up, he caught a glimpse of the pair of bright yellow eyes reflected on the water's surface.
"Pat..."
"Thud..."
The mop fell to the ground, along with a small bucket, spilling its contents of red paint.
Filch's voice abruptly stopped, and he stood there, hunched over and motionless, just as Kyle had seen him the last time.
After Filch was petrified, it was as if a crucial switch had been flipped, and the gears began to slowly turn.
"...Crybaby...pimply face..."
From a distance, Peeves' excited cries could be heard.
Kyle didn't have time to think further. He immediately ordered the Basilisk back into the Chamber, then grabbed the mop with red paint and quickly wrote a few words on the wall.
The Chamber has been opened.
Beware, those who oppose the Heir.
Kyle threw the mop and turned to run.
At the same time, Peeves, chasing Lavender, had already reached the third floor.

In just a turn, one person and two ghosts collided.
Lavender, covering her face, didn't see Kyle and flew past, but Peeves stopped.
Peeves looked at the motionless Filch beside him and the words on the wall, and said excitedly, "You did this, didn't you, Kyle? What mischief are you up to now?"
"Um...this is a big plan..." Kyle asked, gritting his teeth. "But can you keep it a secret for me, Peeves?"
"I won't keep secrets for Kyle..." Peeves grinned, "I'll tell Professor Snape and watch you get locked up!"
"Five bags of balloons!"
Kyle, gradually calming down, didn't waste words. He extended his palm, "Plus a box of dung bombs and a set of werewolf Frisbees..."
"Oh, I like your big plan!"
Peeves laughed even more happily, "Okay, okay...I didn't see anything today."
"Deal?" Kyle smiled.
"Deal!" Peeves' eyes twinkled, and he flew around Kyle, "But I'm missing a weapon, so I'll take this for now."
Kyle suddenly felt his hand lighten, and the diary he had been holding was snatched away.
Peeves, now holding the diary, didn't give Kyle a chance to speak. He immediately flew away, laughing.
And to make matters worse, Harry, Hermione, and Ron were also chasing Lavender...along with Mrs. Norris, who had just appeared on the stairs.
Kyle cursed inwardly. He couldn't afford to be blocked here by Mrs. Norris like Harry was initially.
He had no choice but to give up chasing Peeves and ran into the nearby bathroom.
Lavender had already returned and was sitting on top of the sink, crying incessantly.
Kyle didn't disturb her. After checking that the Chamber was closed, he quickly rearranged the scattered "Exploding Textbooks" on the ground according to his memory.
"He" would soon come to check the situation, so Kyle had to restore the place to its original state.
However, while doing this, Kyle couldn't help but feel absurd.
What is this...after searching for clues for several months, it turns out that the enemy is me!
Should he speak about this experience, even in the magical world, it would be considered explosive, and he had the misfortune of experiencing it himself...
Outside the door, the young wizards began to discuss in hushed tones.
Kyle looked at the "Exploding Textbooks" on the ground, and only after confirming that there were no issues did he leave the bathroom, carefully placing the feather he had taken earlier back into the door crack.
