Hogwarts Staff Maker

Dumbledore arrived quickly with the professors. After picking up Mrs. Norris, he told the young wizards to return to their dormitories, and then called Liu Sen and Harry to find out what happened.

Lockhart suggested, "Let's go to my office! Just upstairs!"

Arriving at Lockhart's office, Dumbledore carefully put Mrs. Norris down and began the inspection.

Lockhart offered advice, "It must have been a powerful dark magic that killed her! It was most likely a Transfiguration Torture Curse, which I have seen many times when traveling!... What a pity I was not there at the time, I happened to know the antidote, and could have saved it..."

Filch couldn't stand it any longer. "Shut up! Master Liu Sen said my cat is not dead!"

Lockhart smiled and shook his head. "If you ask me, children still have a poor eye for things. Experience is not something you can fake! It's something you gain through personal experience! I know you don't want to accept it, but unfortunately..."

Seeing Liu Sen's disdainful look, Lockhart quickly continued: "I encountered a similar thing in Uagadu. A series of attacks occurred at that time. Fortunately, I arrived in time and gave them a lot of amulets, which perfectly solved the problem!"

"You can see relevant records in my works! It's a pity that Mrs. Norris was killed so long ago. It's too late now."

(Wagadou, the magic school with the largest number of students, where all the wizards in Africa study, is located in the Moon Mountains of Uganda, Africa, and is much larger than Hogwarts.)

At this time, Dumbledore raised his head, exchanged glances with Professor McGonagall and said, "It's not dead."

Lockhart was speechless for a moment, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over awkwardly, "Ah, I just discovered it too! He's not dead after all!"

Dumbledore continued, "She has been hit by a spell similar to the petrification curse. Don't worry, in a few months, when Mrs. Sprout's mandrake matures, we will be able to prepare an antidote."

"I'll make it," Lockhart interrupted. "I've made it at least a hundred times! I can even make the Mandrake Herb in my dreams -"

"Excuse me," Snape interrupted Lockhart coldly, "I thought I was the Potions teacher at this school."

The scene suddenly became very awkward. Liu Sen laughed out loud mercilessly and secretly gave Professor Snape a thumbs up.

Afterwards, Headmaster Dumbledore asked Liu Sen and Harry to describe in detail what they had seen that night.

Harry hesitated whether to tell them that he heard a strange sound. Liu Sen saw his concerns and wanted to persuade him to speak frankly, but there was a loud-mouthed fool in the crowd, so he didn't say anything more.

After leaving Lockhart's office, Liu Sen took Harry directly to find Headmaster Dumbledore again.

He also told Harry about his ability to hear special sounds, and with Liu Sen's suggestion, he successfully matched Harry's ability with Parseltongue.

Parseltongue is a rare gift that allows one to communicate directly with snakes. One of the founders of Hogwarts, Salazar Slytherin, was a Parseltongue!

Harry saw that Headmaster Dumbledore looked serious, and asked in confusion: "I believe many wizards can do it. I once went to the zoo and chatted with a snake."

Dumbledore and Liu Sen exchanged a glance, and the latter understood. He patiently explained: "This ability is not common even among wizards, but don't worry. This does not mean that you have any connection with this attack."

"Mr. Liu Sen, did you see any signs in the prophecy about this matter?"

Liu Sen thought about it and decided that instead of passively waiting for the diary to cause trouble, it would be better to take the initiative and nip the hidden danger in the bud in advance.

"I am actually responsible for this matter." Seeing Dumbledore and Harry looking at him in confusion, Liu Sen continued, "Before school started, someone wanted to use a dark magic item to murder Ginny Weasley. I found out and stopped them in advance..."

Afterwards, Liu Sen told the headmaster some of the things related to the diary. When he mentioned that the person in the diary called himself Tom Riddle, Dumbledore showed an unprecedented solemn expression.

"Some time ago, the diary escaped from the multiple seals by some unknown means."

The office fell silent for a moment. After a while, Dumbledore asked tentatively, "So the clues are gone after we get here, right?"

Liu Sen's eyes flashed, "No! I also know what happened. The diary controlled a student to open the secret room and release the basilisk!"

Harry was confused and had no idea what Liu Sen was talking about. He only knew that something terrible was about to happen.

But when Dumbledore heard this, he almost jumped out of his chair. There was a basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets!

50 years ago, Myrtle's accidental death became an unsolved case. At that time, Dumbledore suspected whether it was related to the Chamber of Secrets!

But in the end, nothing was done about it, and Hagrid had to bear the blame for 50 years.

Liu Sen also knew the interests involved. He did not keep the secret and said directly: "Let's skip the process and go directly to the end! Before the diary's power is fully restored and the basilisk does too much damage, I will take you directly to the secret room!"

There are still many scientific research projects that have not been implemented this semester, and anyone who hinders technological progress and affects his leisurely life must die!

Comrade Deng was immediately delighted. It was convenient to have a great prophet!

"Let's load up our weapons and set off directly. In fact, the entrance to the secret room is right here..." At this point, Liu Sen suddenly frowned.

"Eh? That's weird. I know it clearly! The entrance to the secret room... is... is..."

This feeling is very strange. It's right next to my lips, but I can't remember the details no matter how hard I try...

"To find the secret room, just say 'open' in snake language, and then walk to the deepest part to find the basilisk. There are many huge snake statues where the basilisk lives... It's so strange, except for the entrance, I remember everything else. It's as if something has erased my memory..."

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he thought of a possibility. He looked at Dumbledore and found that he had the same idea as him - the Fidelius Charm!

"Damn it!" Liu Sen said angrily, "The diary actually used the Fidelius Spell on the location of the secret room!"

There is no solution to the high-level protective magic of the Fidelius Charm. No matter how sophisticated the method, it is impossible to find or mark the hidden location.

The diary stole Liu Sen's scientific research notes when he escaped. The things recorded on them were all his creative ideas that he recorded on a whim or essays that only he could understand.

Many of them were written in Chinese, and I don't know how much the diary understood. But the last few pages did record Liu Sen's analysis of the Fidelius Curse! It's very likely that the diary was inspired by this to use it!

Liu Sen felt very frustrated. The secret room completely became a 'secret room'. The diary actually predicted his prediction!
