[HP] Dark Lord's pet

The rest of the Christmas holiday was boring, and Olivia arranged for Arnold to learn from Voldemort, while she began to explore the bathroom on the second floor.

After having a general goal, she quickly found the entrance to the secret room - a small snake was engraved on the side of a copper faucet in the sink of the girls' bathroom.

Snake, thinking of Dumbledore suddenly asking her if Arnold could speak snake language that day, Olivia felt cold. Does this omniscient Hogwarts headmaster really know nothing about the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets?

Olivia thought of the "temporary forbidden area" in the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor last school year. Maybe this is another test Dumbledore gave the savior?

Olivia didn't hesitate for long. No matter how Dumbledore thought about it, if she sat idly by and ignored this matter, the old headmaster might not be happy to see her.

After confirming with Arnold that Parseltongue could really be opened, she went to Dumbledore to explain the situation. Regardless of whether Dumbledore would suspect anything, she told him all the process of discovering the modified secret room, and explained that the monster was a snake. Weird suspicion.

Dumbledore was obviously a little surprised, but out of the responsibility of a headmaster, he had to confirm and solve the monster in the Chamber of Secrets.

In this regard, Arnold was somewhat reluctant: "Mr. Principal, if it is really a basilisk, I mean it has lived for 1000 years, and it seems that its eyes are not very good. Maybe we can use other methods to settle it. , it is old and confused after all, isn't it? Maybe it's just too hungry." Obviously, Arnold is somewhat interested in this basilisk.

Dumbledore did not express disapproval of Arnold's attitude. On the contrary, he seemed to have low requirements on Arnold's moral bottom line, so the little pity he showed made Dumbledore feel commendable.

"I'm afraid I can't, son," Dumbledore refused him apologetically. "There is nothing wrong with the Basilisk's eyes. The reason why they were petrified instead of dying directly was because they never looked directly into its eyes." Dumbledore said. Point out the finer details of petrification time several times.

"So, obviously, besides you and Harry, who or through some method can also open this chamber and release this basilisk that can kill at any time. We can't take the risk, so I'm afraid we have to let this The basilisk has gone to accompany his master." Dumbledore said, looking directly at Arnold.

"Okay." Arnold muttered, although he was still a little unhappy, he didn't say anything more.

"Now, we've got to call a few professors, and I thought, why don't we call Harry? He's been agonizing over this for a long time."

Dumbledore arranged for several deans to bring the few students back to the lounge during Christmas, and then asked Professor McGonagall to take Harry Potter to the girls' bathroom on the second floor.

At this time, Olivia was discussing with Arnold: "Al, if you want, I think you can wait for us in the lounge?" She didn't want Arnold to face this.

"No, Mom," Arnold pursed his lips stubbornly, and glanced at Potter with a blank face: "I want to see it."

"Well, stay away and keep yourself safe, okay?" Olivia refused emotionally, but told her rationally that Arnold should not be allowed to escape.

"Harry, we found some clues, but we need your help. Would you like to help us?"

"Of course! Professor," Harry agreed without hesitation, and then stroked his perpetually messy hair in confusion: "But, what can I do? I mean...you are so amazing..."

"Oh, there is one ability we don't have." Dumbledore glanced at Arnold quickly, and winked at Harry: "If you are willing to speak to the little snake on the dragon's head in Parseltongue, I think It helped us a lot!"

"Of course!" Harry said to the little snake, "Open!" But the sink didn't respond.

He blushed, and looked at them with some uncertainty: "Is it... Is it a mistake..."

"Harry," Dumbledore looked at him kindly, "I think it's because you speak human language."

Harry suddenly realized, looked at the little snake for a while, and finally uttered a hissing snake language.Immediately, a white light was emitted, the faucet rotated rapidly, and the pool also moved, finally revealing a thick water pipe.

"Minerva, can you guard the entrance, don't let anyone come in, and don't let anything go out?" Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall, and she nodded with a serious expression.

"Then, let's cheer up!" He said, jumping down from the mouth of the water pipe first, followed by Professor Flitwick, Harry gritted his teeth, and jumped in too.

Olivia took a step forward, turned to Arnold and said, "Al, don't worry, I'm in front!"

Professor McGonagall said dryly: "Olivia, or I can help you take care of Arnold for a while..."

Olivia smiled at her and refused: "Arnold likes adventure!"

Snape could hardly hold back the venom in his mouth, the heir of Slytherin returned to the secret room left to him, do you still need to worry about his danger?

With a stiff face, he jumped down behind Arnold.

More than two hours later, Dumbledore's phoenix flew out of the tube carrying a group of people.Except for Arnold, everyone was a little embarrassed.

Professor McGonagall greeted him: "Albus, how are you?"

Dumbledore said gently: "It's resolved. Thanks to Harry for pulling out Gryffindor's sword." Olivia's face became even uglier when she heard that.

Dumbledore turned to Olivia: "Olivia, maybe after you take a rest, would you like to have a cup of tea in my office?"

"Of course!" Olivia said coldly, and took Arnold back to her lounge.

Not long after, Olivia sat in Dumbledore's office. After Dumbledore asked, he handed her a cup of black tea.

"I think you don't agree with my approach?" Dumbledore said gently.

"No, how could that be?" Olivia shook her head: "I've already figured it out. If you refused me to save Potter, then you must have made plans to ensure his safety. I was thinking too much." .”

"But I'm glad you have such an idea." Dumbledore looked at her with a smile: "You know, I'm an old man, and there are always things that I can't think about. I'm very pleased with your protection of Harry. , so would you like to hear my explanation?"

Olivia didn't say a word, and Dumbledore continued: "You know, since the first petrification phenomenon, Harry has been there every time, and he is even a Parseltongue. This made him doubt himself and the Sorting House." Had the cap put him in the right House, no doubt Harry needed some confidence, and what better proof that this is a Gryffindor than being able to draw the Gryffindor sword?"

"I figured this out, Professor," Olivia put the teacup on the table: "What I don't understand is why you deliberately polished Potter and arranged this experiment, because of that prophecy, he should Do you feel that your life is dying once a year? Do you believe in that prophecy so much that you want to push Potter step by step until he is fulfilled?"

Olivia took a deep breath: "I can't believe it's just a lie, you would believe that..."

Dumbledore's vision was far-reaching: "I used to not believe in prophecy, I even planned to cancel the prophecy course at Hogwarts, until one day, I found that if I did nothing, fate would push me away... Maybe the prophecy The charm of is to give us a final result, no matter how we change in the middle, it will form this answer.”

"Sorry, professor," Olivia said, "I still can't put my fate on such nonsense. Maybe what you said is right, but I don't want to accept it."

"It doesn't matter, child, a person's choice is more important than anything else, and his choice will lead him to find his final direction." Dumbledore's eyes softened: "So, I, an old man, have to think more, he will come back at any time, always You can't let Harry face this without knowing anything...I think Harry would be more willing to accept this way, he has never lacked courage."

"You are always right, Professor, thank you for being willing to give me some advice, otherwise I may have to change my impression of you, such as... the White Devil or something..." Olivia blinked at Dumbledore, causing He giggled.

When Olivia returned to the lounge and was speechless with Voldemort, she suddenly thought of something and giggled.

"I don't believe in Dumbledore's fate, but I found that the recent events all show this point. Your horcrux released a basilisk, and the basilisk's venom is one of the few ways to destroy a horcrux. No wonder Dumbledore said that fate is wonderful, which is really interesting..."

Olivia ignored the dark face of the Dark Lord, tears came out of her laughter.

After solving the basilisk, Hogwarts has returned to calm after the Christmas holiday. You only need to wait until the mandrake is mature to prepare the mandrake resurrection potion, so that those who are lying in the hospital and petrified will wake up. .

When Dumbledore announced the good news, the cheers of the students almost set the auditorium up. They threw away the onions, amethysts and salamander tails, and sincerely thanked and apologized to Harry Potter— ——Dumbledore awarded 150 points to Gryffindor in recognition of his contribution to destroying the Basilisk!He has changed from heir Potter to savior Potter again!

This also made this shy child feel the friendship of people again after two months of indifference and hurt.

Everything went so smoothly until the end of the semester when the mandrakes were ripe, and Professor Lockhart volunteered to help Professor Sprout pick the mature mandrake roots, but he forgot to wear earmuffs, which forced him to Paying the price of living in St. Mungo's - the cries of the mandrakes have completely confused his memory, and he can't even remember his experiences with vampires, snowmen, etc.

This caused many girls who were still obsessed with Professor Lockhart to secretly cry several times, while the boys couldn't wait to have a party to celebrate this matter.And the most distressing thing is Professor Dumbledore. He had to draft a job advertisement and put it on the "Daily Prophet" in order to recruit a new teacher to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts course. Who called this course? The professors of the class are exhausted so quickly!
