Dressed as a Hogwarts portrait

This night, it was a trivial matter for a portrait to suddenly open its eyes and look around blankly. In fact, the entire Hogwarts was full of distressed people, including the savior and his friends who had the audacity to break into the Chamber of Secrets. The Weasleys who got the news to the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, the professors who had to come from the office when they got the news in the middle of the night, and the ones who finally came to sort everything out, always survived a catastrophe with their head still on their necks The savior (in Snape's language) finished talking about the diary and the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, and sent away the severely frightened Ginny and the Weasley family before Albus Dumbledore slowly walked to the chair and sat down.

There was mud and blood on the clothes in front of him, and the embarrassed boy was thinking about something uneasy.

"Sit down, Harry, would you like a cup of hot cocoa?"

The boy shook his head, seeming even more disturbed.

"First of all, Harry, I want to thank you," said Dumbledore, with a twinkle in his eyes, stroking Fawkes who flew to his lap. In addition to the ghosts and portraits that have remained in this castle for a long time, and the secret records piled up in the restricted section of the library, there is no evidence to show that the monster in the secret room ,What exactly is it.

The basilisk is perhaps the most dangerous magical creature ever recorded in the entire UK. If it hadn't been locked in a dark room for nearly a thousand years, it would be impossible to defeat it with just a few children.

It is not only its eyes and its fangs that are powerful.Few people can comprehend its true power, because just touching the orange eyes, one has already died under the deadly sight, so even the book has never really recorded its horror, because a powerful wizard lived his whole life It is also unlikely that you will see this creature once, let alone know how powerful it is.

So even if this creature was once guessed, it was quickly ruled out because of its rarity and terror.

Maybe the Dark Lord cast a powerful confusion spell on it in order to control the basilisk, otherwise the IQ of a basilisk is not inferior to that of a wizard. When he heard that the monster in the chamber turned out to be it, even Dumbledore almost lost control. Fortunately, 50 years later After the previous incident, he has been paying attention to everything in Hogwarts. After he became the headmaster, he even carefully questioned the house elves in the kitchen, and even went deep into the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake to ask about the centaur and the mermaid, but he couldn't help it. Find clues of any kind of monsters living in this castle as well as nearby.

No matter how powerful a magical creature is, it must eat.

Hogwarts house elves can't tell lies, even if they tell lies, would it be possible that King Gallon, who is responsible for school affairs and finance, would also lie?Or does the basilisk have an undiscovered ability to survive for thousands of years without eating at all? !

Dumbledore was determined to go to the Chamber of Secrets to see the corpse of the basilisk himself, and he looked thoughtfully at the 12-year-old boy in front of him.

He had already guessed some things, so when Harry said that he could speak Parseltongue, he comforted the frightened, confused and overwhelmed child.Watching Harry leave, he suddenly felt that something more troublesome was coming to him again.

He had to go and hire another Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

As a descendant of Slytherin, Voldemort cursed this course so that no wizard can stay for more than a year. It is no longer a secret. Every student who goes out of this school knows that even Dumbledore is so wise. The elder couldn't do anything about it, this year he hired Gerald Lockhart, but unfortunately, this curse didn't let even one and a half Squibs go, he couldn't really invite a Squib or a Muggle to try.

Blue eyes behind half-moon lenses stared dreamily at the silverware on the table.

In any case, it was worth offsetting the talents of the Salazar Slytherin blood for such a position and annual trouble.

Too much time has passed, and the wizarding world has too many secrets and unknown histories. How can an orphan who grew up among Muggles know these things.

Dumbledore wasn't happy, he could still sit here and the Dark Lord didn't know if he was alive or dead, just because he was the headmaster of Hogwarts, he lived decades longer than Voldemort, and this castle had too many secret.

Suddenly, a doe deer condensed with silvery white mist crashed into it.

"Severus?"

Dumbledore stood up from the armchair in some surprise.

"Chamber, the basilisk is not dead."

After leaving the message, the Patronus dissipated immediately. Dumbledore's face changed color after a few brief words. He stretched out his hand to call for Fawkes, tapped the Elder Wand with the knuckles, and immediately a silver phoenix flew out the door with a soft chirp. .

Hope things weren't so bad, a fully recovered basilisk was definitely not something Severus could handle alone.

It was a large stone chamber, dimly lit.On either side were towering stone pillars, entwined with more stone-carved serpents, rising up, disappearing into the dark ceiling.

It is very quiet here, and the sound of dripping water is like a muffled thunder in the sky.

It was also very cold, and the eyes on the stone python stared coldly down.

It's just that Snape didn't feel all this. He was standing next to the basilisk lying in front of the pool. It was indeed a huge monster. Half of its body was immersed in the pitch-black water. The half of the pool alone was more than ten meters long. The blood flowing from its head seemed to be a little congealed, and its eyes were completely blinded by Fox, and it remained motionless, but suddenly a low hoarse cry came from the bottom of its throat.

The entire stone chamber shook.

This is what Dumbledore saw when he apparated with Fawkes in his purple robe that was part star part moon.

"Severus?"

"Our savior obviously doesn't even have the basic concept of judging whether a dangerous creature can still pose a threat to him. If it wasn't for the basilisk not wanting to attack it, I'm afraid all we see at this moment is his corpse."
