I'm playing a big knife at HP

Chapter 16 Behind the Scenes of the Chamber of Secrets

Professor McGonagall immediately decided to close the school and sent all the students away the next day.Now she sent all the professors to drive the students back to the dormitories of their respective colleges, and they were not allowed to step out of the lounge.The professors took orders and went separately. Marciana stepped up to Professor McGonagall and asked in a low voice, "Dumbledore?"

"I have notified." Professor McGonagall pursed his lips into a straight line like a blade, "Let's send the Gryffindor students back to the dormitory first, and then meet in the principal's office."

The professors herded the students back to the break room like sheep by grade.Even the most mischievous students were quiet now, and the expressions on the faces of Percy, the Weasley twins and Ron were heartbreaking.Hermione looked up at Marciana and McGonagall, and said timidly, "Professor...you will go to her, won't you?"

There was water in Mag's eyes, and Marciana said sadly, "We will. In fact, we have never stopped looking for the entrance to the secret room in the past few months. Unfortunately...we may not be able to open the secret room .The Chamber of Secrets does only recognize certain traits of the descendants of Slytherin."

Harry and Ron Hermione exchanged a mysterious look.

Marciana and McGonagall hurried back to the headmaster's office after all the Gryffindors had returned to the tower: Dumbledore was already waiting there.McGonagall briefly explained the situation, and Dumbledore looked at Marciana: "Where is Harry?"

"We were still in the tower when we left, and now, he, Ron and Hermione are rushing to the bathroom on the second floor."

Professor McGonagall looked at her in shock.Marciana shrugged. "I cast a stalking spell on them."

"It's the task I ordered Martha," Dumbledore said calmly. Professor McGonagall frowned, but calmed down immediately. "Now, Minerva, please help me sit at the school, I think Arthur and Molly will be here soon. Martha, go find Severus, we'll meet in the bathroom on the second floor."

A few minutes later, Martha and Snape rushed to the corridor on the second floor, and Dumbledore was waiting outside the bathroom with Fawkes the Phoenix crouching on his shoulders.Dumbledore disappeared first, Martha followed suit immediately, Snape didn't seem to understand why he had to hide his head and tail, but he did as well.When they walked into the bathroom, they saw Hermione's shaggy brown hair flashing through the black hole where a water tap had been and a hole the size of a person had been opened.Three adult wizards also jumped in.Marciana thought the pipe was really interesting, if it wasn't sticky and smelly, it would have looked like a Muggle water park slide: of course any water park with miles of slides would pay off.They landed in a pile of small animal bones, but made no sound because of the silencing spell.Several children didn't notice them at all, and were dumbfounded at a snake slough more than 20 feet away.Marciana nudged the invisible Snape - of course she didn't know where - and felt her hand being roughly slapped away.

Dumbledore asked in a deep voice, "Martha, what do you feel?"

"They're here, inside." She listened, "We're going fast, Ginny's magic is still flowing to another... thing, she's getting weak... the basilisk is nearby too... it Also weak."

At this time, the three children ran into the secret room, and Ron saw his sister lying on the ground at a glance. He yelled "Ginny" and ran towards her, holding the little fiery head in his arms.Hermione touched her carotid artery anxiously, and put her ear to Ginny's chest to listen, "She's still alive." Ron laughed through his tears, and Harry also smiled with relief, calling softly, " Ginny! Wake up! We have to go."

"She won't wake up." A teenager's voice sounded.The three children turned around in surprise, and saw a handsome black-haired boy leaning on the stone pillar with his arms folded.

"Tom—Tom ​​Riddle?" said Harry hesitantly.

"I knew you were weird!" Hermione exclaimed angrily, "Since you misled Harry to suspect Hagrid, I knew you were the real murderer!"

The three hid aside and listened. Both Dumbledore and Marciana showed approval on their faces. Marciana whispered, "I like this girl so much, what a smart child." As for Sne Pu - his eyes almost rolled to the back of his head.

At this time, Tom Riddle's phantom had tirelessly begun to tell all his plans, vividly recounting the conversation between him and Ginny.

Marciana narrowed her eyes, "He's stalling for time. If he doesn't do it, I'm going to do it. Ginny is about to die." Dumbledore held her back, "Wait a little longer, she can still persist."

By this time, Riddle had already started explaining his name, changing "Tom Marvolo Riddle" to "I am Voldemort".Marciana shuddered at the sound of Snape's breathing.She reached over a little and took an invisible, clammy hand.Snape didn't shake her off.

Riddle and Harry were already arguing over Dumbledore, Riddle holding Harry's wand in his hand, and Dumbledore said softly, "Go, Fawkes."

The phoenix flew out, showed its figure, sang and landed on Harry's shoulder, holding the Sorting Hat in its claws.

"Hey, what a style." Marciana said with a smile.

"Can someone explain to me," Snape squeezed a few words through his teeth, "Why are we hiding here instead of going out and taking those brats away."

"Be patient, Severus," said Dumbledore kindly.Although Marciana couldn't see Snape's face, she knew intuitively that he was going to faint.

Riddle turned and hissed at the large stone sculpture, which opened its mouth.

"It's coming." Marciana closed her eyes, feeling with full concentration, "It's about to come out in three seconds, close your eyes. Three...two...one..."

The three wizards heard the sound of a heavy object falling, and the sound of scales sliding across the floor.

"The children are fine..." Marciana closed her eyes, concentrating on perceiving everything in the secret room with her magic power, "Oh, Harry fell down, it's okay, I blocked him... They dragged Ginny aside .Fox made it!"

The three professors opened their eyes at the same time, only to see that the eyes of the basilisk had been pecked blind, black blood was dripping down, and Fox was pecking at its head fiercely.

"Hey, I thought the three of us would be just right to deal with this starving basilisk, but I overestimated it. Fox is about to win, it's amazing." Marciana boasted.

Harry, Ron and Hermione obviously didn't think so, and the children screamed and yelled for help.

The basilisk's tail swept towards them, and if it hit, the four of them would surely turn into meat.

With a wave of Marciana's wand, Snape cast the strongest Iron Armor Curse on the four students at the same time.Dumbledore cleverly controlled the snake's tail to shift a little bit, and was just sweeping the Sorting Hat into Harry's arms.

Harry lay on the ground clutching the Sorting Hat tightly, Snape murmured, and layered protective spells on his body, Marciana concentrated on covering Ron, Hermione, and Ginny - she was satisfied Finding that Hermione was not waiting to die, the little witch drew out her wand and cast an obstacle - Dumbledore controlled the snake's tail, and every time it "just happened" to deviate from Harry's hiding place.

Harry suddenly let out a cry of pain, got up clutching his forehead, and pulled out a silver sword studded with rubies from the Sorting Hat.

"Good boy!" "Good sword!" Dumbledore and Marciana praised at the same time.Snape cursed under his breath, which sounded like "Hurry up idiot."

At this moment, the basilisk opened its mouth wide and rushed towards Harry, its long teeth gleaming coldly.An invisible magic rope gushed out of Dumbledore's wand, firmly controlling the body of the basilisk; Marciana held the wand tightly, and raised her left hand like a claw, and the jaws of the basilisk froze in place. Unable to close in the air, the fragile inside of the mouth was completely exposed to Harry; Snape cast the most powerful Iron Armor Charm on Harry.Harry gripped the silver sword tightly in both hands, and plunged it into the basilisk's upper jaw so hard it missed the hilt.

The basilisk hissed horribly, and after a while was still.The poor basilisk would rather simply die like this, rather than suffer the piecemeal crimes under Fox's beak. appearance.

"Hurry up," Marciana said anxiously, "Ginny's magic power is getting weaker and weaker."

With a flick of Dumbledore's wand, one of the basilisk's fangs snapped and fell to Harry's hand.Harry picked it up and held it like a dagger in his hand.

Seeing the basilisk killed, Riddle raised his wand furiously.Fox grabbed the diary and slapped it into Harry's arms.The child looked at the fangs in his hand, then at the diary on his lap, and poked it in the middle of the diary.

"No—" Riddle screamed, struggling in vain, and puffed away like soap bubbles.

Harry also fell to the ground.

"What's the matter!" Snape asked irritably.

"Uh, he seems to have hurt his leg when he poked the diary... The basilisk's venom is very powerful..." Marciana said embarrassingly.

Fawkes had landed gracefully on Harry's lap, and pearly tears dripped down to the wound on Harry's leg, and the little boy got up after a while.At this moment, Ginny also woke up slowly, crying.

"She should be fine...well, her strength has fully returned to her..." Marciana whispered.

Several children hugged each other and cried, supporting each other and walking towards the exit.Fawkes hovered over them, pulling them out one by one, one by one.

"Okay, close the team!" Marciana patted her robe and stood up, and Snape went straight to the basilisk.Snape circled the basilisk's head, pulling out a vial out of nowhere to begin collecting the venom.Marciana thoughtfully put a freshness-preserving spell on the corpse of the basilisk: "It's not long since I died, and my body is still soft, and the medicinal properties haven't been lost at all."

"You're very professional," Snape said deadpan.

"Oh, don't you know that? It's also one of my skills in eating."

Dumbledore interrupted them with a smile, "It's been a hard day, but I'm afraid we won't be able to stay for too long, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are still waiting. Severus, is the Mandrake potion ready?"

Dumbledore packed up the basilisk corpse and the snake's slough and handed them to Snape, and the head Slytherin hurried back to the cellar.Dumbledore and Marciana hurried back to the headmaster's office before the four students, and Professor McGonagall was comforting the Weasleys.The rest of the aftermath was completely handed over to Dumbledore.

Marciana only showed her face, and without saying a word, she was sent to organize a celebration banquet with Professor McGonagall—she had no opinion at all, and it was the task of the superior to find someone to talk to—as a young faculty member You have to do your job well.Gryffindor scored 450 points overnight: Harry, Hermione, and Ron each added 150 points to Gryffindor, and each received a special contribution award.Snape was very dissatisfied at first, but maybe because he got a batch of good materials, he didn't get angry for too long.Marciana felt that morale in Slytherin was a bit low: the students were less active in answering questions in class now that the House Cup was out of the question.But fortunately, they cheered up soon - I don't know what Snape said - they rushed to answer more fiercely than before, and they became more aggressive during the actual combat practice, and scored a lot of points in Defense Against the Dark Arts.The only one who couldn't pull himself together was Draco Malfoy: his father had been fired from the board, which had hit him hard.

Justin Finch, Nearly Headless Nick and Mrs. Norris are back to full health, but Justin is missing most of the semester after all.The staff waived his final exams and worked overtime for the rest of the summer term to make up for him—if the kid could handle it, he still had a chance to catch up before the summer officially started.Justin Fenriely was worthy of being the top student who almost got into Eton College, and he actually persisted under the hell timetable from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, but his face was indeed getting paler every day.

Marciana felt that the boy was dying of exhaustion and felt pity for him.On the contrary, Hermione had a subtle envy, and asked Marciana if she could teach her some lessons.

The final exam went well, the papers were graded quickly, and the semester ended without incident.Until the students boarded the Hogwarts Express, Marciana couldn't believe that she had taught Defense Against the Dark Arts for a year without losing a limb - it was said that her predecessor had died, and it was a terrible death.

The professors watched the students board the train, and everyone had a happy expression of "ah, the summer vacation has begun" on their faces.No matter how much the students look forward to the summer vacation, the professors will only look forward to the summer vacation ten times and a hundred times as much as they do—anyone who complains that school is hard should try to be a teacher.But before Marciana made her summer plans, she was called to the office by Dumbledore.

Dumbledore had a traveling cloak on his arm, "Martha, we worked very well in the Chamber of Secrets last time. Now I'm going somewhere," he said with a smile, "Would you still like to be my assistant?"

The author has something to say: the MVP with the highest force value in this chapter is His Excellency Fox.Dumbledore can be regarded as a record, and the two professors are at most a trick:) Snape got a dead snake anyway, poor Marciana is so hot-blooded that she can't even get overtime pay, the workplace is really cruel.
