Hogwarts card wizard

The piece of paper that Hermione tore off was about a magical creature.

Basilisk!

An extremely terrifying existence, how terrifying is it?Even breeding it is a violation.Unlike the poisonous snake and giant python, the threat of the basilisk is not only highly poisonous and death entanglement, but the real killer is the pair of weird eyes. Any creature that comes into contact with the basilisk's eyes will be killed instantly.

This is the clue that Hermione found, and it also answers Kevin's doubts, why a student died when the secret room was opened 50 years ago, but now only the petrification incident has occurred.

The girl 50 years ago looked directly into the eyes of the basilisk, but people like Colin Justinick saw it indirectly. Although the paper did not introduce that the eyes of the basilisk would be petrified indirectly, another important clue But confirmed this guess.

Parseltongue!

Only a Parselmouth can control the Basilisk.

This also explains why only Harry can hear that strange sound, because it is the sound made by the basilisk, and Kevin and the others can't hear it because they don't understand Parseltongue.

The most important point is that the attack that happened this year was really a weird coincidence. By coincidence, the three victims, a ghost, and a cat all saw the eyes of the basilisk and were petrified, so that even experienced The professors of the school are also unable to make a correct guess. If a student is really killed, maybe the professors of the school can guess the truth.This is the key, because no one would think that the same five murders would be a coincidence, but the point is that it is really a coincidence!

This is called luck in misfortune.

When Kevin came to the library, Harry and Ron were scratching their heads holding a book each.

"Guys! I know, I know what that monster is, look at this!"

Kevin handed the two of them the paper and told them what he and Hermione had discovered.

"No wonder!" Ron suddenly realized, and said to Harry: "No wonder only you can hear that voice, it turned out to be Parseltongue."

Kevin nodded and said, "It says that the basilisk can live for a long time as long as there is enough food, which means that the basilisk Harry heard is probably the same one that killed the student 50 years ago."

Harry raised a doubt: "But I didn't see the shadow of the basilisk at all. According to you, how big is the basilisk after it has lived for so long?"

Kevin laughed and said, "That's easy to explain. Remember those water spots on the ground? The basilisk must have moved through the sewer pipes."

Harry patted the table and said, "Understood, no wonder I always felt that the sound seemed to be in the wall. It's also said above that spiders are afraid of basilisks. Now everything is clear!"

At this time, Ron interrupted Harry's excitement and said, "I hate to say this, but guys! Have you ever thought that we still can't be sure whether the Chamber of Secrets exists? If so, where is the entrance?"

Kevin said: "I met Luna in the school infirmary just now, and she told me that a Ravenclaw girl was killed 50 years ago, killed in the bathroom."

Harry said in amazement: "Wait, wait, 50 years ago? The bathroom? Is the person you're talking about Myrtle? I remember the robe she was wearing had a Ravenclaw badge on it!"

Kevin nodded with a smile and said, "I'm not 100% sure, but luckily we can ask her directly."

At this moment, suddenly the "broadcast" rang.

"All students, please return to the lounges of the colleges immediately, and invite all professors to gather in the corridor on the second floor!"

Professor McGonagall's voice rang throughout the castle through amplified spells, which hadn't happened before in Kevin's two years at Hogwarts.

"It seems that something happened again!" Kevin said thoughtfully.

Harry hurriedly asked, "Will another student be killed?"

Kevin said, "Go and see, don't you know?"

The three immediately rushed to the corridor on the second floor. At this time, Professor McGonagall and other professors were already talking there.

The three of them hid at the corner and looked over there. Harry said softly, "Didn't you see any students who were killed, were they taken away?"

Kevin denied this statement: "No, if a student really killed Madam Pomfrey, she wouldn't be here...Look! There are words on the wall!"

Through the crowd, Kevin saw a string of blood-red writing on the wall, but it was impossible to see what was written because of the cover of the professors.

At this moment, Professor McGonagall said: "I am afraid that what we fear is about to become a reality."

Snape asked, "What exactly is going on?"

This is also the key that everyone wants to know.

Professor McGonagall said: "A student was captured by a monster and taken into the Chamber of Secrets. I'm afraid we have to send all the students home. Hogwarts may be closed forever!"

"Merlin! A student has been taken away!" Ron said in surprise.

Kevin said angrily: "Hold down! We all have ears,"

Ron hurriedly covered his mouth, and then asked softly, "Who is the student who was caught?"

The two shook their heads, who knows.

At this time, a voice came late, and Gilderoy Lockhart came over in a sullen purple tuxedo.

"Sorry, everyone! Overslept, don't miss anything!"

Lockhart's tone seemed very relaxed, obviously at the moment he hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter.

Snape said blankly: "A student was captured by a monster, you act like your chance has finally come!"

"What... what?"

Lockhart was stupefied, and the three of Kevin were also very puzzled. What big talk did this buddy say?

Just heard Snape say: "Didn't you say last night that you always knew where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was?"

"puff!"

Kevin knew that this occasion was not suitable for laughing, but he really wanted to cheer for Lockhart's pretending to be 13. This guy really doesn't know the severity, and dares to say anything!

The most amazing one appeared, and Professor McGonagall said: "In this case, I will trouble you to deal with that monster. After all, we have never seen you show your skills."

Lockhart's expression was very interesting, he was nervous and embarrassed, and he said: "Uh! Okay, then I'll go back to the office first... get ready, yes! I need to get ready!"

After speaking, he walked away in a panic.

Ron said in surprise: "Please, Professor McGonagall's idea is too stupid! Let him deal with monsters, this guy can't even deal with elves."

Kevin sneered and said, "Professor McGonagall must know what this guy is capable of. You don't think he really dares to go?"

After Lockhart left, Madam Pomfrey asked the question that the three were most concerned about.

"Minerva, who is the student captured by the monster?"

Professor McGonagall said worriedly: "Ginny Weasley!"

"Varied……"

Kevin suddenly covered Ron's mouth, but neither he nor Harry looked surprised.As the professors left, Kevin let go of Ron, his eyes blank and his mouth muttering, "Ginny?! How is that possible?"

Harry comforted: "Ron, we will rescue her, we will!"

Come to the wall with blood written on it.

"Her bones will forever lie in the Chamber of Secrets."

With tears in his eyes, Ron shouted in a low voice, "Why? Why Ginny?"

Harry wanted to comfort Ron, but he didn't know how to say it. This kind of thing can't be comforted with a few words.To put it bluntly, in Harry Ron's opinion, Ginny who was captured by the basilisk was undoubtedly sentenced to death. Ginny didn't know the situation of the basilisk like Hermione did, and they didn't think Ginny could continue Colin. human coincidence.

At this time, Kevin said, "Ron, if someone else was taken away today, I wouldn't dare to say anything, but it was Ginny who was taken away. I can assure you that she is at least alive at this moment."

"Kevin, are you comforting me with such words?"

Although Ron said so, he still hoped that what Kevin said was true.

Kevin took out the rag he found under Leo's claws in the dormitory a few days ago and handed it to the two, asking, "Do you know this?"

A capital "w" was embroidered on the rag, and Harry asked in surprise, "This... isn't this the symbol of the Weasley family?"

The sweater Ron received from Mrs. Weasley last Christmas had the logo on it.And on the edge of the rag, there is a name that has been "torn in half"-gin.

The name could only have belonged to Ginny among the Weasleys currently at Hogwarts.

Ron recognized these, of course, but what he and Harry didn't understand was what Kevin meant by holding such a rag.

Facing the doubts of the two, Kevin explained: "I found this on Leo's paw when the dormitory was stolen that day. It should be on the thief."

The two looked at the rag in disbelief, and Ron blushed angrily: "Kevin, you'd better give me a perfect explanation, or I'll punch you in the face."

Harry said in surprise, "Kevin, you mean it was Ginny who entered our dormitory that day!?"

Kevin said: "To be precise, the person who entered the dormitory and took away Tom Riddle's diary and wrote these blood words on the wall is Ginny. Don't be angry, Ron, listen to me, okay?"

"Then you'd better explain quickly!" said Ron.

Kevin explained: "First of all, although Ginny wrote the text, it is definitely not Ginny who manipulated the basilisk to attack the students. The reason is very simple because Ginny is not a Parseltongue.

Harry said, "You mean Ginny was coerced?"

Kevin nodded and said: "At least I think so. I chatted with Luna shortly before the first attack. At that time, she said that Ginny was a little abnormal. After that, the petrification incident of Mrs. Norris happened. and the blood on the wall."

Ron said hurriedly: "Does that mean that Ginny was not captured by the basilisk and brought into the secret room? Otherwise, she would not have written such a line."

For Ron, Ginny could be punished for doing something wrong, but now Ron wants his sister to live.

Kevin looked serious, and said: "I can only say that Ginny should be alive now, as for whether she was caught in the secret room... Seriously, Ron! I think this sentence has already shown us where Ginny is. , otherwise Professor McGonagall would not say that she was taken away."

Ron was very flustered, and hurriedly said: "Then what should we do? No, I have to rescue Ginny, but... where is the entrance to the secret room?"

Harry suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Didn't Snape just say that Lockhart knew the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets?"
