Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way

What are you all doing here? Go back to the dormitory! Professor McGonagall suddenly raised his head and shouted,

Prefects of all colleges! Chairman of the Boys and Girls Student Council! Please take up your responsibilities!

The prefects acted immediately, urging the little wizards to return to their dorms.

However, Percy, Gryffindor's prefect, seemed to be out of his wits and didn't immediately fulfill his duties.

It wasn't until the female prefect patted him twice that Percy came back to his senses and acted quickly:

Everyone follow me back to the dormitory! Don't stop in the middle! The little wizards of the first grade follow the senior students closely to avoid being alone!

Harry and Hermione hurried up the stairs, following the Gryffindor troop.

Before leaving here, she turned her head and glanced at the scene of the crime.

Professor McGonagall was talking to a silver phoenix. Harry vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a messenger belonging to Professor Dumbledore.

And Professor Flitwick has already waved his wand, lifted Senior Penello up, and walked towards the stairs closest to the school hospital.

The large group of Gryffindor cubs didn't stay long, and quickly returned to the common room.

Back at the lion's den, the common room quickly filled with a mixture of tension and fear.

This time, it was a senior senior who had an accident, and Penello, who had a very good grade.

Even if something happened to such an outstanding wizard, the students in the middle and lower grades would naturally feel afraid, for fear that one day they would be turned into stone statues too.

Harry also learned what happened from Fred and George.

According to the two, they had excess energy and hadn't fully vented it in the Dueling Club.

So the innocent, cute, and innocent Weasley twins decided to join the Ravenclaw team and visit the Ravenclaw common room.

As a result, Ravenclaw's large army hadn't advanced much distance before they encountered Senior Penello lying on the ground.

The team immediately exploded! Fred said exaggeratedly,

The little wizards in the first grade are all running around, and the male prefect in the fifth grade can't control them.

Fortunately, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick are not far from us, so they rushed over quickly.

I've never seen Professor Flitwick look like that, as if he was going to kill someone.

Having said that, Fred hugged George beside him exaggeratedly, pretending to be very scared.

Indeed, it's really terrifying! George also cooperated with Fred, trembling crazily.

But Harry didn't appreciate the performance of the two, but walked to his dormitory.

Intuitively, she felt that she needed to comfort Hermione.

After all, two Muggle-born students had accidents, and Hermione must have also taken on a lot of mental pressure.

However, to Harry's surprise, Hermione was not like many Muggle-born wizards at this time, with a frightened face and hugging each other to keep warm.

She was lying on the bed, frantically flipping through a book with a golden frame.

After a while, Hermione suddenly shouted in surprise: I found it!

What did you find? Hermione suddenly felt that someone was pressing heavily on her, and she asked while lying next to her ear, and even blew into her earlobe.

With that familiar soft touch, Hermione immediately guessed it was Harry.

Don't make trouble. Hermione tried hard to turn over, but was firmly suppressed on the bed, so she could only say,

You're finished, witch! Watch me suppress you! Hermione's cheeks were flushed, and she rushed forward with her teeth and claws, but Harry turned over and suppressed you again.

Is it wrong? If you admit that you are wrong, call me good sister!

You're dreaming! I'm older than you!

There was no one else in the dormitory, and Lavender and Parvati were still discussing what happened today with other girls in the common room, so they were extremely presumptuous.

...

After making a fuss for a while, Harry was the first to admit defeat. After all, counting on Hermione's strong character, it's a bit difficult for her to take the initiative to admit defeat.

So what were you trying to say earlier? Harry asked, slumped on the bed.

Only then did Hermione remember what happened earlier, and she complained, You shouldn't have just now... In short, I was clearly talking about something very important earlier!

I think I've discovered the true identity of the monster in the Chamber of Secrets.

Basilisk? Harry was a little surprised, You figured it out too?

Of course, I'm second in class! Hermione said triumphantly, but couldn't hide the weakness in her voice, even though she had won earlier.

Afterwards, Hermione told her detailed reasoning process.

Harry was surprised to find that Hermione's reasoning process was extremely similar to his own.

Both were deduced from Slytherin's monster, Slytherin is a Parseltongue and likes snakes, and that snake has survived for nearly a thousand years.

Indeed. Harry affirmed Hermione's speculation, and added,

But you don't seem to have considered how it moves in the castle. Of course I have considered this. This basilisk moves in the wall.

Inside the wall... Hermione was startled at first, then fell into deep thought again,

It is true that such a huge monster can only move in a place that is easily overlooked inside the wall.

There are pipes in the wall that indeed allow the snake to move.

But it stands to reason that the pipe is not that thick, and the basilisk is huge, especially this is a thousand-year-old basilisk...

etc!

Hermione raised her head suddenly, turned over and got out of bed, and took out the Hogwarts, A School History that she had borrowed after queuing for a long time from her schoolbag.

Sure enough, I remember correctly! Hermione found a passage in the book and said excitedly,

In 1700, it was proposed to install a complex plumbing system in the castle.

At that time, this resolution was passed quickly, and the person in charge was a wizard named Gunter.

Hermione closed the book forcefully and looked at Harry:

Do you remember that book about the great wizards of the pre-20th century that I borrowed for fun last term?

There is a piece of information mentioned in it that the Gaunt family is descended from Slytherin.

It's right, everything is right!

In order to prevent the basilisk from being exposed, the descendant of the Gunter family took the initiative to take over the job.

And when he was building, he intentionally built a large enough water pipe in the wall to ensure that the basilisk could move at will.

It was also because of his existence that the specific location of the secret room was covered up instead of being discovered at the time.

Harry turned over and looked at Hermione in surprise.

This memory, this brain, and this powerful reasoning ability, the generalist and the reader should like Hermione very much.

The entire incident can be restored with so few details, and Harry asked himself that he couldn't do it.

Especially after Harry confirmed that the basilisk was moving in the wall, he didn't think as much as Hermione.

Harry, let's go and talk to the professors! Hermione couldn't wait to change clothes and go to the professor.

Harry nodded indifferently. Anyway, Hermione deduced all of this, and there are traces to follow.

It's okay to tell the professors, after all, if one day the basilisk goes crazy and kills the Quartet, I will lose a lot of future anchors.
