dumb wizard

The petrification incident made the whole of Hogwarts panic, and even alarmed the Ministry of Magic.Minister Cornelius Fudge personally came to Hogwarts to question him, expressing his outrage at Dumbledore's dereliction of duty.But anyone with a bit of a political mind knows that Fudge has always been afraid of Dumbledore, always worried that he will take his position.

The professors also made some inferences. Mirrors were installed in every corner of Hogwarts, but the little wizards were still in danger, and the number of night visitors dropped to the lowest level in history.

Both Snape and Xiu kept their eyes on the Weasley family's youngest daughter, but there was no movement yet.Draco, Harry, and Hermione, the three little wizards, murmured together all day long, looking mysterious, probably finding out something serious.

Sure enough, within a few days, Harry sneaked up to tell Xiu that they had discovered the truth about the Chamber of Secrets, even knowing that the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was in Myrtle's bathroom.Xiu was a little surprised that they found the answer so quickly, but he still warned them very solemnly not to act privately.

Xiu told Snape about it, and Snape seemed to be in a good mood. Xiu guessed that he had taken the idea of ​​the snake slough and the basilisk covered in potion materials in the chamber of secrets.

Not clean for two days, three days before Christmas, Harry rushed to the cellar, saying that Ginny Weasley was caught by the basilisk and entered the secret room, and Draco and Hermione were waiting in the girls' bathroom .Snape immediately went to the laboratory to get various potions that had been prepared earlier, Xiu went into the bedroom to get the cloak, and the three hurried to Myrtle's bathroom.

When they rushed to the bathroom, Moaning Myrtle was babbling to Draco and Hermione, screaming loudly when the three of them came in, "How can you come in! This is the girls' bathroom, you all It's a boy! Oh! No! Get out!"

Snape glanced at him, and the crying Myrtle immediately stopped screaming, sobbing, and jumped into the toilet bowl with a "poof", splashing a lot of water, and Snape put an armor on them at the same time, That's why they didn't let a few people become drowned.

"Oh, let's hurry up, Miss Weasley is down there, basilisks are no fun!" Hermione urged, her eyes wide open, and she looked around carefully, trying to find the entrance to the chamber of secrets.

Snape impatiently pointed his wand at a copper faucet with a small snake engraved on its side, "Potter, say 'open' to it!" He was a little anxious, there were precious potion ingredients waiting for it What about him!

Harry hurriedly squatted down, looked at the little snake on the faucet, and said to it: "Open." When there was no movement, Snape growled angrily, "Stupid boy! Who told you to use English! Use Parseltongue, Parseltongue!" Harry scratched his head in a daze, he really couldn't tell the difference between Parseltongue and English.

Draco pointed at the little snake and said gently, "Harry, imagine it as a living snake, try it."

Harry swallowed, nodded, stared at the carved little snake on the faucet, tried hard to imagine it as a real snake, and then moved his mouth unconsciously, "Hiss—open——" the voice It's cold and sticky, making people feel uncomfortable all over.

There was a burst of dazzling white light from the dragon hair, and then it spun rapidly, and then the pool also moved, and slowly disappeared, revealing a dark passage, which could allow one person to drill down.

Harry turned to look at the others, blinking, "Should I go down first?" His hidden Gryffindor traits began to stir.Snape sprayed the venom mercilessly, "It seems that I really can't expect a Potter to have a brain the size of a fingernail. What makes you think that you are really an omnipotent savior, and you can Ignoring the professor, rampaging like a stupid lion! The Sorting Hat would actually sort you into Slytherin, it really is in disrepair!"

Harry was sprayed with venom and lowered his head wearily.Snape snorted coldly, and was about to say that he would go down first, when a triumphant voice came from behind, "Oh, look, what are you doing? Professor Snape, oh, and little Harry! Dear children , you can't stay in the girls' bathroom, it's really rude."

Several people turned their heads, and saw Lockhart's peacock with white teeth shining, smiling maliciously, as if he had caught something serious.

Except for Snape and Xiu, the other three were a little flustered, but soon calmed down and stared at Lockhart dissatisfied.

The corners of Snape's mouth curled into a malicious arc, and his eyebrows raised slightly, "Ah...Professor Lockhart, it's time for you to show off, and you can show off your superb dueling skills to these little monsters to your heart's content .Go down from here..." He pointed to the deep entrance, "The petrified monster is below."

Lockhart's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he took two steps back, "Oh, no, no, no——Professor Snape, I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to do, so I'm leaving first!"

"Professor Lockhart..." Snape pointed his wand at the tip of Lockhart's nose, the corner of his mouth was full of threats, "As your colleague, I would like to give you a piece of advice - go down , otherwise I would mind letting you really feel the power of the jinx, because the jinx is not as easy to deal with as it is in your silly and ridiculous novels."

Lockhart's face was already whiter than paper, he nodded tremblingly, and moved towards the entrance of the passageway that looked like hell to him.

Snape impatiently poked him on the back with his wand, and ordered coldly: "Get down!" Lockhart looked to the four little wizards aside for help, but no one paid attention to him.He could only close his eyes, took a step forward, and jumped down the bottomless passage. His miserable scream made people think that someone had just given him a punch of Cruciatus.

After a while, there was no big movement from below, and it seemed that there was no danger, otherwise the idiot would have heard the whole Hogwarts.Snape threw a dozen into the passageway to clean it up, and then said to Draco and Hermione: "Go back to your dormitory and don't let me know of any inappropriate behavior!"

Draco immediately retorted, "We're going too! Since Harry can go, why can't we?" Snape squinted his indifferent black eyes and looked at his godson, "Potter is useful, so what can you do next? With your slug-stuffed heads and troll-like limbs, you only get in my way!"

Hermione, the little witch, was also unwilling to let her friends take risks, but she stood by and watched, "Professor Snape, we won't cause you any trouble. One more person will give you more strength, right? Our combat effectiveness will not be as strong as Xiu Bad!" Hermione didn't have the nerve to say it too clearly, but everyone knew it well.Xiu's magic talent is certainly good, but because he learned silent spells from the beginning, his spell power is always lacking, more than enough for the exam, and not enough for a real duel.

Xiu subconsciously grabbed Snape's sleeve, there was no way he would let Sif go on an adventure alone!Snape patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, saying that he would never leave him.

"Godfather, I know you're doing it for our own good, but I can't let Harry face danger where I can't see it." Draco said firmly with his gray-blue eyes looking at the cold-faced man without flinching .His veela instinct would not allow his partner to take risks while he did nothing, and his heart would not allow it!

Snape glared at him, said nothing, and motioned to Xiu to go down first.Snape got down the passage, cast the Levitation and Lightness spells on himself immediately, and landed lightly on the ground.

"Petrify everything!" Lockhart, who had been waiting below, immediately gave Snape a petrification spell, but he forgot that the other party was a master of black magic. Almost at the same time, Snape blocked the petrification spell with his armor. , and then the continuous disarming spell and petrifying spell solved Lockhart.

Throwing Lockhart aside, with a slight wind sound overhead, Snape threw two Levitation Charms at it, then caught his lover who jumped down with him, and held him in his arms.

Then Harry, Draco and Hermione jumped off, unharmed. "Luminescence!" Snape's staff gave off a faint green light, but it was enough for them to see the surroundings clearly.

Snape narrowed his black eyes slightly, and warned Lockhart who was petrified by him with a terrified expression, "You'd better not play any tricks, or St. Mungo's will be your final home!" He untied Lockhart. Draco immediately went up, pressed his wand against Lockhart's back, and ordered him in a low voice: "Go ahead!"

Lockhart walked trembling ahead of them, trying to convince Draco to remove his wand from his back with his clumsy lies, but no one paid him any heed.

"Ah!" Lockhart screamed suddenly, and his whole body fell back, his face pale.The others were taken aback. Looking closely, they saw a very long black thing extending into the dark tunnel in front of them, like a lurking monster. They all immediately thought of the basilisk in the secret room, and couldn't help but hold their breath. breathe.

However, Snape immediately understood what it was, and took two steps forward. They saw the true face of the thing clearly through the green light on the tip of the staff - a very complete snake slough!Snape's eyes were filled with excitement, what a precious potion ingredient!

Using the shrinking spell to shrink the huge snake slough and put it in the pocket, the movement was so smooth that Draco and the others could see black lines all over their heads.Then Snape woke up the fainted Lockhart with a clear spring like water, and continued to let him act as the striker.

They walked forward along the unforked passage, and after about half an hour, they came to a solid wall with two intertwined snakes engraved on the wall, with big, Shiny emerald.

"Potter!" Snape shouted to Harry behind him, Harry stepped forward, he felt his throat was a little dry, he couldn't help but look to Draco for courage, Draco nodded to him, he felt very relieved.

"Hiss—open—" Harry said to the two snakes on the wall, and the entwined snakes separated, and the wall slowly split in the middle and slid out of sight on either side.

Let Lockhart take the lead, and a group of people walked in.Inside is a long, dimly lit room, many stone pillars engraved with coiled and entangled serpents stand tall and support the ceiling that melts in the darkness of the heights, casting long streams of shadows on the entire room filled with green and mysterious atmosphere. Treacherous shadow.

Except for the idiot Lockhart who had his wand confiscated, everyone raised their wands and looked around vigilantly.Snape gave Lockhart a faint and threw him aside.

"Weasley!" Hermione sharply saw the black figure lying under a huge statue in the room.They became more cautious. In the silent room, it was hard to hear even a slight breathing sound, and there were unknown dangers hidden in the darkness.

"You want to save her?" A melodious voice sounded, and a short echo echoed in the empty room.They saw a vague, black figure leaning on the largest stone pillar in the room.
