The Mysterious Black Cat at Hogwarts

Early the next morning, Harry and Ron rushed to the medical room, and they told Hermione the news they had received from Draco and Hagrid last night.

"Harry, Ron, I think I know the truth."

Hermione looked at the two solemnly. After her efforts last night, the hint she got from Macon, the connection between eyes and petrification, she determined the identity of the monster.

"Listen, that monster's name is Basilisk. It is a big snake. It has lived for at least a thousand years. The eyes of the Basilisk can kill people, but Mrs. Norris saw those eyes from her reflection in the water. The eye, so it was just petrified, Colin was through the camera, and as for Justin, it just goes to show he was lucky that Nick was in front of him and he was wearing dark glasses."

When Hermione said this, she lowered her head and took a sip of the warm water Macon handed over, and then gouged him out again, knowing that it was a basilisk and not telling her.

"The Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago. That person should not be Hagrid. I think it should be Tom Riddle. He should still be at Hogwarts. Hagrid is just his scapegoat. If I hadn't guessed If it's wrong, it's the myrtle in the girls' bathroom. I heard Ravenclaw's seniors talk about it, and it's been 50 years since myrtle died."

"So, you have to find Mr. Principal first, and then go to Myrtle to ask about the situation. As for where the basilisk is, Harry, you can often hear snake language in the corridor, and the petrified ones are all In the corridor, I guess the basilisk is in the pipes of the castle."

After listening to Hermione's analysis and reasoning, Harry and Ron looked at Macon who took it for granted. They couldn't help but think, they are both second-year students at Hogwarts, why are you so handsome?

"You must go to Headmaster Dumbledore first!"

Looking at the two people who ran out, Hermione was really afraid that they would die to find the basilisk by themselves.

"Macon~"

"Meow?"

"Macon!~"

"Oh, I got it! I really can't do anything about you!"

Macon activated the Animagus to transform into a human form, and jumped out of the window deftly. He came to the round top of the medical room, and the tail ring on the cat's tail emitted three flashes. Also responded with three flashes.

After contacting the old bee and taking care of the aftermath, it's time for the cats to attack.

After Harry and Ron left the medical room, they went straight to the bathroom. They didn't choose to inform the principal first. During this period of time, facing rumors and gossips every day made him angry all the time. He just wanted to kill him quickly. that monster.

"Macon? Why are you here?"

After the two entered the bathroom, they saw Macon staring at the huddled Myrtle by the sink.

"Hermione is worried about you, afraid that you will come here instead of looking for Mr. Principal, so let me take a look."

Harry scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this, and he set his eyes on Myrtle curled up in the corner.

"Don't let that person come over, I'll tell you whatever you want to know."

Myrtle looked at Macon in fear, the man was emitting a terrifying aura all the time, and would choose to devour him at any time.

"Myrtle, we want to know how you died. It's important to us."

Myrtle blinked her eyes and looked at the handsome boy in front of her, a little wizard named Harry. Does he care about me?

"Harry, you care about this, so let me tell you generously. I was in the cubicle over there. Oliver Hornby made fun of my glasses. I hid there crying sadly. At that time, I heard Someone came in, they said something I couldn't understand, right by the pool in the middle, and I rushed out to warn them, and I died."

Harry looked at the sink that Myrtle was pointing at. He walked up to him and observed it carefully. At this moment, a broken faucet caught his attention. There was a relief of a snake on it.

Speaking words that he didn't understand, and this relief, is that Parseltongue?

"ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"

Harry said 'open' in Parseltongue, and the pool cylinder in the middle of the bathroom vibrated and slowly moved away, revealing the dark entrance in the middle.

"Ron, I'm going down first."

Harry looked at Ron, who planned to go find the way first.

"Harry, if you die, I can share a cubicle with you."

Myrtle looked at Harry who was about to jump off, showing a shy expression.

"Thank you, Myrtle, I'll go down first."

After Harry jumped down, Ron looked at Macon, Maomao looked at Ron who was hesitant, and just stepped up, and then jumped up by himself. There was still a lot of water in the wet waterway.

The jumping Macon 'just happened' to step on Ron's stomach, and the cat crouched slightly with its feet one in front of the other. Every time it encountered stagnant water, it would jump up with Ron who was lying down. From then on, Ron would flip half a circle in the air and let out a scream.

After enjoying the thrill of surfing, at the last bend, Macon jumped onto another channel.

"Oh, Harry, this is too bad, I was used as a surfboard by Macon, bah bah bah~"

Ron bowed and kept spitting out the dirty water from his mouth.

"Harry? Do you see the bones on the ground?"

Ron found that the ground they were standing on was full of animal bones.

"Ron, I saw it when I got down, let's go ahead and have a look."

The two took out their wands and issued a 'fluorescent flash', and groped forward into the cave.

"It's a snake slough! My God, it's at least ten meters long!"

Ron was amazed, they found a giant snake slough in the cave.

"This should be the skin of the basilisk Hermione was talking about, and she was right, Ron."

"Harry, I'm a little scared, and Macon doesn't know where he went."

"Ron, Macon must be around, and we can't count on him for everything."

Ron nodded to Harry, and the two continued to explore, and finally stopped in front of a round door, which was like the door of a vault in a bank, except that there were many snake-shaped structures on it.

Harry was already familiar with this kind of door.

After opening the door in Parseltongue, the two walked in.

It was an empty underground cave, the floor was covered with dark gray floor tiles, and there were huge snake heads standing on both sides. They opened their mouths and spit out snake letters.

The two nervously took out their wands and walked forward cautiously. In front of a huge statue at the end of the space, they saw a person standing there with a familiar smile and bright white teeth.

"Welcome to our little wizards, Mr. Potter and Weasley, and welcome to Lockhart's Chamber of Secrets."

The person in front of him was the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Gilderoy Lockhart.

"It was you who opened the secret room and released the basilisk?"

Harry questioned Lockhart angrily. The culprit made him realize the power of public opinion.

"Of course, but I also want to thank the black cat! That's right, Macon, if he hadn't left this notebook in the classroom, I wouldn't be where I am today! Do you know this notebook? As long as you get it , you can learn any spells that you can't learn in your dreams! Why is that cat so powerful?"

When Lockhart said this, he excitedly stroked the black notebook in his hand.

"Haha, now I, Gilderoy Lockhart, finally have a chance. I will inherit the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets and become the greatest wizard in the world! My books will no longer be questioned !"
