In Gryffindor tower, all the students where in more despair now that student with no muggle blood was attacked, the trio are still in shock for what happened to their dear friend, Hermione could not stop the silent tears fall down her cheeks, Ron was twiddling with his fingers, while Harry was staring into nothing, he could not get the image of Terra lying still like a statue in the Hospital Wing out of his head, he can feel Lulu shaking in his pocket, the poor little thing is heartbroken knowing the fate of her friend.
"Could I have your attention please?" Professor McGonagall called out; the chatter stopped to listen. "Because of recent events, these new rules will be put into effect immediately: all students will return to their house common rooms by 6 o'clock every evening, all students will be escorted to each lesson by teacher, no student is to use the bathroom unaccompanied by a teacher, and all Quidditch training and matches are to be postponed, there will be no more evening activities, no exceptions."
She rolled up the parchment, the room was in an eery silence, there is nothing to be said, before McGonagall took her leave she had one more thing to say to her House.
"I should tell you this, unless the culprit behind these attacks is caught, it is likely the school will be closed."
Once McGonagall left the room, they began chatting among themselves again, it was when Fred and George's best friend stepped up for all Gryffindor's to hear.
"That's two Hufflepuffs, one Gryffindor plus a Gryffindor ghost, and a Ravenclaw," Lee Jordan said counting the attack victims on one hand. "Haven't any of the teachers noticed that the Slytherins are all safe? Isn't it obvious all this stuff's coming from Slytherin? The Heir of Slytherin, the monster of Slytherin, why don't they just chuck all the Slytherins out?"
Many of the Gryffindors nodded and cheered at the remark.
"But why did the Heir of Slytherin go after Terra?" Neville said among his second years.
"Why? Isn't it obvious she's a Scamander," said Seamus. "She must have found out what kind of Monster the Heir of Slytherin is controlling."
While the house went back into chatting, Harry turned to Hermione and Ron.
"We've got to talk to Hagrid," he whispered so no one else can hear him but them. "I can't believe it's him, but if he did set the monster loose last time, he'll know how to get inside the Chamber of Secrets, and that's a start."
"But you heard McGonagall," Ron whispered back. "We're not allowed to leave the tower except for class."
"I think it's time to get my dad's old cloak out again."
========================================================================================================================
When some calmness appeared with the lions, Professor McGonagall escorted her House to the Great Hall for an early afternoon dinner, Harry looked over at the Hufflepuff table to look for Terra's Brother but he could not be seen, the Weasley Twins noticed this and got told from one of Rolf's mates that he is taken the news about Terra very hard and is skipping dinner wishing to be alone, Harry thought undoubtedly the reason of the Hufflepuff's absence is looking after Terra's creatures. Within an hour the new curfew was approaching, the Head of Houses escorted them back to their respected Dorms. It took a long time for the common room to be emptied so they could slip away to go to Hagrid's, Harry got his cloak while falsely to get something else from his trunk when Hermione and Ron where playing Wizard Chess to fool the other House Mates, when Fred, George and Lee called it a night, is when they made their move.
