Harry Potter: The Grand Arcanist

Several people walked into a long, dimly lit room.

In front of them, there were many stone pillars carved with entangled snakes.

Perhaps, the basilisk was lurking in a dark corner behind a certain stone pillar, ready to attack them.

They advanced slowly between the stone pillars coiled with giant snakes, listening carefully to the sounds coming from all around.

When Dumbledore walked parallel to the last pair of stone pillars, the statue of Slytherin suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was an old man with a long beard that was almost as high as the wizard's robe. He stood on the smooth floor of the room with big gray feet and looked at the several intruders in front of him.

Phoenix Fox was warning around, but they had not found any trace of the basilisk. There are many passages nearby. Maybe the basilisk is hiding in some passage now.

"It's not here."Snape saluted the statue and whispered.

"No, it's here. Paz nodded towards Slytherin's face and said,"The mouth is a passage, and the basilisk may be hiding there.""

In an instant, everyone was on alert, staring at the statue of Slytherin, and then glanced at Dumbledore.

Now, how to deal with it depends on Dumbledore's intention.

Dumbledore hesitated, and then raised his wand. Use magic to break Slytherin's jaw.

Sure enough, as Paz said, there is a hole in the mouth of the statue, but is the basilisk really hiding here?

The moment the entrance was hit, everyone raised their eyebrows. He was extremely vigilant, but no basilisk came out, at least not yet.

Dumbledore turned the fallen gravel into a puppy and sent it into the entrance.

However, the basilisk didn't seem to be inside.

Otherwise, if you were provoked like this, you would probably have been killed from inside.

"It's not here. However, he should have stayed here. Dumbledore said warily:"I'm not sure where it is hiding now.""

Several people returned to the room, alert to the surroundings. Fox has always been here. The basilisk should not have appeared, otherwise Phoenix would have sounded the alarm.

"It's best not to act separately."Professor Flitwick thinks this place is very dangerous. The sight of the basilisk is undoubtedly very deadly."

"You stay here while I search the surrounding passages."Dumbledore said and walked away alone. He walked into a passage and the footsteps gradually faded away.

"Well, you're welcome, I'll take a look around too."Paz said to the two professors, and walked in the other direction alone. The two of them were left looking at each other, but they did not act rashly.

After all, this place is very dangerous no matter how you look at it, and in order to prevent it from happening He couldn't find anyone, so he needed someone to stay.

Whether it was Snape or Flitwick,

Paz walked around in the passage. It was wet, and the basilisk should still be hidden. It was in the secret room, but Paz didn't know where Slytherin had hidden it.

The passage was very long and it was easy to get lost. When Paz reached the end, he found that

Dumbledore had returned to the room. There seems to be no other gain.

They recorded all the passages and spent time walking through them one by one. This was a hardship for the old man Dumbledore, but it was also a very helpless solution.

Still found nothing. Maybe Dumbledore missed something, but it was still very difficult to fully explore this area.

"We have a hard time finding it here."Dumbledore gave up the idea of killing the basilisk. If it came out, it would not be difficult.

However, if the basilisk hides, it will not be easy to find it. At least, it will be difficult for them to find it in such dim light. place to look for a basilisk

"Go back, I'll have people monitor this place."Dumbledore and Paz finally returned the same way. When they finally came out of the secret room, Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout immediately came to greet them.

"How about it?"Professor McGonagall asked quickly

"Unfortunately, we didn't find the basilisk, maybe it was hiding."Dumbledore said helplessly

"What should we do? We can't let monsters like that roam around."Professor Sprout looked a little uneasy and was quite afraid of the basilisk.

"Seal this place, I will send people to guard this place, and we will catch the person who opened the secret room."Dumbledore said, raising his wand to repair the pool he destroyed. Then, he turned to look at Lockhart who was coming over and asked,"Gilderoy, is something wrong?"

"Oh, I heard……"

"Unfortunately, we did not find the legendary basilisk. If you want to show off your skills, this is definitely a good opportunity, and I promise not to let anyone get in your way."Dumbledore said, winking at the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"No, if you don't find it, there's no point in me going down. Lockhart said dryly, he regretted coming here.

However, after hearing Dumbledore talk about the basilisk, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was a little uneasy.

"Remember to keep this matter a secret among the students."Dumbledore reminded

"I will!"Lockhart looked at Paz.

"Mr. Lannister will keep secrets too"

"This place is temporarily closed."Dumbledore said,"Let the ghosts and portraits patrol here every day."

A few people looked at each other and nodded knowing what to do.

"Okay, I think everyone is tired, so go back and rest! Dumbledore said:"Mr. Lannister, you should go back too.""

Actually, Dumbledore didn't want the incident in the Chamber of Secrets to be brought to the surface like this. Now the successor who opened the Chamber of Secrets is still lurking in the dark. He needs to wait for the other party to surface and catch them all.

Unfortunately, in Mai When Professor Gerard knew about this and came to ask him, Dumbledore knew that he should change his plan. He went deep into the secret room, but did not find the basilisk, which made the situation more passive.

Thinking about the next thing, the other party might be wary after that. It might not be easy to find it.

He walked to the pensieve, twitched his memory and re-screened it. He had walked through all those passages. , there should not be any place missed.

By the way, he has never been to the one where Lannister walked.

So, where did the basilisk go? Or is there something else in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets that they haven't noticed?
