Luckily the main story is at Hogwarts

"Are you sure this is a good idea?"

Ron asked with a very difficult expression.

"Honestly, I don't think it would be a good choice to ask who opened the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, especially this person..."

After a pause, Ron had no personal grudge against Ciel, but even if he was a Gryffindor, he knew that Ciel had hardly appeared in class this semester.

And now that the secret room incident has occurred, his suspicion has been infinitely amplified.

"I even think you're crazy."

"Ciel is my friend."

Harry hesitated before replying.

"But he's a Slytherin."

"But that doesn't stop us from being friends, does it?"

Ron rolled his eyes, seeing this, knowing that he couldn't persuade Harry.

………………

Hermione, who was frantically asking about the basilisk, the secret of the Chamber of Secrets, and other messy things, suddenly noticed Harry and Ron walking over.

"Harry, what's the matter?"

Hermione asked.

It's not that her relationship with Harry, Ron, and others has gotten worse now. After all, at the end of last semester, she braved the Philosopher's Stone with them.

It's just that because of the existence of the princess group, Hermione's whereabouts have become more and more independent. When girls get together, they always have their own little secrets and private space.

"Uh."

"The secret room, you are also looking for it, right?"

Not long ago, Professor McGonagall told the news about the Chamber of Secrets in class, and now all the little wizards in Hogwarts are talking about the Chamber of Secrets.

But they were just joining in the fun, but Harry, as the person involved in the petrification incident of Mrs. Norris, was definitely not just joining in the fun.

"Yes."

Hermione nodded generously.

"And we already know what's in the secret room."

From Hermione's point of view, Harry was her friend, not only because of the Sorcerer's Stone, but also because they had this shared experience of Wonderland before coming to Hogwarts.

Ciel is there too.

So everyone was friends, and Harry was the savior and the person involved, so she didn't feel there was anything to hide.

"What is it?"

Harry sat down quickly and asked.

Ron next to him also frowned and sat down awkwardly. He didn't believe in Charles or Slytherin, but he believed in his friend, Harry.

Ron was actually quite familiar with Ciel. After all, he was the only Slytherin who hung out with a Gryffindor like Hermione every day.

Although he is a Slytherin, to be honest, this guy is not as annoying as Draco.

In Ron's dislike list, Draco definitely ranked first, followed by Snape.

"Basilisk."

"Basilisk?!"

Harry was still confused, and Ron had already screamed in an exaggerated manner. Fortunately, he knew this was the library and lowered his voice, otherwise Mrs. Pince would have hit the four of them out now.

"What is a basilisk?"

Harry asked confused.

"The basilisk is a very scary monster."

Ron said in an unusually frightened tone.

As a native pure-blooded young wizard, Ron actually has a certain understanding of basilisks, just like Muggles may not be able to distinguish the breed of rabbit, but they definitely know the animal.

And his talent for expression is very strong, which is probably the talent of the Weasley family. After Ron finished telling vividly how scary the basilisk is, let alone Harry, even if he just listened to Charles talking about the basilisk. Hermione's face turned a little pale.

"We are dead."

"The door to the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Now, there is a basilisk wandering inside Hogwarts... We are dead."

Ron muttered.

"We need to tell Headmaster Dumbledore."

Harry grabbed Hermione's line and gave Hermione a pause as she was about to speak.

"What about the evidence?"

Ciel suddenly asked.

"Where is the door to the secret room and who opened it? Before these problems are solved, will telling Principal Dumbledore not alarm the other party?"

"But it's too dangerous to leave a basilisk in Hogwarts."

Harry said again.

Before the start of the school year, they had this common experience of entering Wonderland by mistake. Now, only two semesters had passed, but Harry felt as if a century had passed.

Fortunately, Ciel still looks the same as before, and nothing has changed since he entered Slytherin. As expected, Draco is still the guy he hates.

"uncertain."

Ciel shook his head.

"The basilisk's gaze is fatal. If it is really released...it shouldn't be just as simple as Mrs. Norris."

"So what you are saying is that the door to the secret room has not really been opened."

Hermione said thoughtfully.

Ciel noticed that among the group of princesses listening, Ella seemed to have thought of something, and it seemed that she had thought of something more than Hermione.

"maybe."

"What do you know?"

Harry asked curiously.

Of course, he was curious, and the expression of Ron next to him was more complicated, as if Harry, do you even need to ask? He knew so clearly, maybe he wanted to open the secret room.

It was nothing more than Ron thinking so. After all, Ciel was indeed very suspicious.

Now, because it was just a cat that was petrified, and Harry, a topical figure, appeared on the scene again, no one paid attention to Ciel yet.

If in the later period, students were attacked one after another, and Ciel, a Slytherin, often did not appear in class, he would definitely be noticed by other young wizards.

"I don't know much."

Ciel directly blocked the topic.

"I was also investigating this matter among Slytherins recently."

"This requires investigation, it must be Draco!"

Ron said subconsciously.

"not him."

"He is my roommate, I can confirm it."

Ciel shook his head calmly.

"To be honest, I didn't find anyone suspicious among Slytherin, so...if you really want to find the truth of the matter, maybe you can try to find the remaining three houses."

"what?!"

Ron's voice was a bit exaggerated.

"You're saying that the students from the remaining three houses will open the Chamber of Secrets left by Slytherin. How is that possible! How can a Gryffindor student open Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"

"The key is pure blood, not which house."

"There are no purebloods in Gryffindor."

Ciel's voice remained calm.

"You are a pureblood, aren't you."

"What? Me?"

Ron's voice sounded like he had been insulted, but before he could lose his temper, Charles stood up when he noticed that Mrs. Pince was walking towards us.

"Let's go, Hermione."

"I have something else to tell you."

Harry was comforting Ron. Seeing that the situation seemed to be starting to become chaotic, Hermione certainly couldn't just leave, but Charles knew exactly what she was thinking.

"Perhaps you are waiting for Mrs. Pingsi to come and drive people away."

As a frequent visitor to the library, Hermione was well aware of Madam Pince's power. This time, she no longer hesitated.

"I'm leaving now. See you in the common room."

She dropped a word, then picked up the book, and ran away with Charles without looking back, leaving only Ron and Harry, who still didn't know what was about to happen, staying there with confused faces. Without knowing it... Mrs. Pingsi was slowly approaching from behind.
