HP in the name of Slytherin

James scratched the tip of his nose and wanted to say something, but seeing Catherine's gentle look when she turned to the two girls, he felt that no matter how much he said, it would not be as useful as actually doing something.

He, James, has never been a coward. He will admit when he does something wrong, and he will change it now that he knows it is wrong... Although it is difficult, he still feels uncomfortable looking at Halbo under Catherine's feet and Severus next to him.

Catherine didn't say anything more and summoned Fox, "Go back early. Fox can take you up."

Remus thought of Professor Dumbledore who trusted him, and said with some guilt: "Dumbledore taught him..."

He had met Fawkes before enrolling, and it was clear that Fawkes would only obey Dumbledore's orders.

Catherine originally touched Fox's smooth feathers twice, but Helbo, who had been staring at her, cried and accused "Master, how can you touch other pets?"

She quickly pretended to be serious: "Ahem, it's okay, I will tell Professor Dumbledore."

Fortunately, Severus could also understand what Helbo was saying. When the little basilisk subconsciously prepared to roll on the ground to show off, he reached out and grabbed Helbo's neck and twisted it to the other side.

[What are you doing, little wizard? Let go of Mr. Haierbo! 】

Very good, Haierbo's "hatred" has also been transferred.

"Come on, Haierbo is hungry." Catherine urged.

The three girls now listened to Catherine's words and trotted up quickly, lining up to wait for arrangements.

Remus and James followed closely behind, only Sirius...

Sirius had been silent just now. The water from the snake demon wet his curly black hair, and a few strands of hair stuck to his cheeks. Young Master Black, who had always been concerned about his image, did not straighten his appearance immediately.

Catherine looked at him, knowing that Sirius had much more grudges than James.

If he can't pry open his heart under this situation, then Catherine will have to think of other more troublesome means...

Fortunately, Sirius was not completely stubborn. His eyes were still full of hesitation and entanglement, but the adventurous spirit that led him to choose Gryffindor made him willing to take the initiative at this time.

"Miss Slytherin, I have a question right now," he said coldly.

Catherine didn't show it on her face, but she was really relieved. As long as she was willing to communicate, she had watched it all night and probably knew what Sirius was concerned about at this time.

James and the others haven't thought about it yet. After a night's rest and they have completely calmed down, they will probably be mumbling in their hearts.

"You want to ask about Myrtle decades ago?" she volunteered.

Sirius pursed his lips and nodded, and James also showed a look of realization, "Yes, Myrtle said she was killed by something in the secret room."

If what Myrtle said is true, then Catherine's statement just now that "Salazar will not harm the school" is somewhat untenable. Whether intentional or not, it did kill a student.

"I also asked Myrtle, and she said she saw two orange eyes, and then she lost consciousness," Catherine said. "Before I came back, there was indeed a basilisk in the secret room responsible for guarding this place, but this one The basilisk is no ordinary basilisk, and the statue of Poseidon contains the handwriting left by my father and the other three founders, proving the special nature of this basilisk."

Catherine had already taken out the certificate. As expected, her father was thoughtful and considered all possibilities. Even the birth of Medusa was witnessed by the other three founders.

It is precisely because everyone knows that Medusa and this secret room can stay in Hogwarts.

Catherine opened the certificate with the protective spell so that several young wizards could come and see it. Severus also pretended not to be able to see clearly and used fluorescent light next to it... Actually, he was afraid that the Gryffindors wouldn't be able to see it. clear.

Catherine pointed to the lines above: "This basilisk is called Medusa. It was created by my father through magical means in the sacred ruins where Haierbo was born. You can ask Bin about the creatures born in the sacred ruins. Professor Si, or Professor Dumbledore, the divinity in them is greater than the beast, and some barbaric, obvious, and indiscriminate harm will be reduced. Medusa has the same origin as Herbo, and is weaker than Herbo, that is This means that it cannot have the ability to watch and kill people that Haierbodu does not have, unless it injects venom, bites, or strangles..."

In order for them to see and understand clearly, Catherine spoke very slowly. After so many years, except for Professor Dumbledore, even Hagrid himself no longer struggled with Myrtle.

No one had any way to investigate, only these few little wizards found out to this point, and Sirius was very worried about it, so he directly questioned Catherine on the spot.

"It's said here that Medusa's special ability is to turn her gaze to stone." Lily pointed to the line above and said.

Remus also said: "According to the information released by the Ministry of Magic, Myrtle's cough...the body had no obvious external injuries, and the cause of death was suspected poisoning."

James scratched his head, "We thought it was the Ministry of Magic fooling people."

"Medusa's name comes from its ability to petrify. Not to mention that it is bound by magic and cannot kill the school students. Even if it breaks free and wants to kill someone, it will either eat the corpses and destroy them, or the corpses will be scattered in pieces. The body may still be intact," Catherine pointed to the huge snake head statue in the secret room. "It has no ability to shrink, and it is larger than the sculpture over there. It is impossible not to leave traces no matter how you think about it."

The ancient evidence was placed in front of them, and Catherine's explanation was used to sort it out. Several people had just seen Haierbo's body, which was so long. Even if they kindly arched Mary to prevent her from suffocating, Mary now felt a little pain in her waist. I looked a little green when I took a peek just now.

If Myrtle was really killed by Medusa, there would be no way that there would be no trace left behind.

Remus said cautiously: "Then Medusa now..."

Catherine shrugged: "Been eaten by Haierbo."

Lily:? ? ? !

Several girls looked at Helbo, who was rolling around on the floor with Catherine's calf, and recalled how coquettish he was when he ate with Catherine in the hall every day and still had to be fed.

Ah, yes, wasn't Haierbo a very ferocious snake-eating demon just now?

It's so different when it gets smaller and when it gets bigger!

The girls' thoughts spread out, but Sirius only focused on the matter itself. Seeing that his expression was still solemn, Catherine said good-naturedly: "Although he was eaten, I was watching the whole process. I can extract the memory as evidence. This kind of The Ministry of Magic must also recognize this method."

"Ahem..." Remus coughed awkwardly, "Indeed."

James also pushed Sirius, and the words had come to this point. There was obviously someone else who killed Myrtle. Catherine should not have been around decades ago. Who can open the secret room and use the basilisk left by Salazar? ah.

Thinking so casually, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

A few decades ago, being able to summon Salazar's basilisk meant that you should at least be able to speak Parseltongue.

It's really possible...

Wasn't Voldemort at Hogwarts at that time?

Even if Catherine guessed that the last person to open the Chamber of Secrets was Voldemort, she couldn't say much at this time. She could only say: "Until there is concrete evidence, everything is just suspicion. I hope you know."

"Ahem," Remus and James coughed awkwardly and said one after another, "It's true."

"I have another question..." Sirius finally looked directly at Catherine and said seriously, "I would like to ask Miss Slytherin alone."
