Chapter 28

On the way, Hermione couldn't help but wanted to ask Alberta a question, but because of the presence of Professor Sprout, she couldn't speak out several times.

Alberta was secretly amused, but she also knew what Hermione wanted to ask her.But she understands that this is not a good time to say these things.

So, when Professor Sprout sent Hermione to the door of the Gryffindor common room, she just patted Hermione on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry, Potter is safe."

"So, you came back just like that?" Neil asked after listening to Alberta's ins and outs.

Alberta took a sip of milk and looked up at him: "You want me to follow?"

Neil thought for a while, then shook his head decisively: "Forget it, who knows what will go wrong. After all, it's a basilisk. Professor Snape has to fight and protect you, and he's quite tired."

Pansy, on the other hand, thought for a while and asked, "Do you think Professor Snape will ask for the corpse to belong to him after killing the basilisk?"

When everyone heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched.This situation is really very likely.No, it's 100% going this way.Think about it, the basilisk's skin, blood, flesh, fangs, venom, etc. are all very good ingredients for potions, and with Professor Snape's character, he will definitely take care of them all with glowing eyes.

"I... can probably imagine the expressions of other professors..." Draco murmured.

The rest of the people also nodded with sympathy.

The specific situation is unknown to several people, but the result is obvious.

Early the next morning, Dumbledore announced that the murderer who caused the petrification had been caught and everything had been dealt with.

Alberta looked at Potter, and the other party was in a good mood, you could tell by the way he was smiling and chatting with the people around him.As for Hermione, when Alberta looked over, she who obtained inside information from Potter showed a relaxed smile to Alberta.

But in addition to this news, there is another very unfortunate news-Lockhart was injured and admitted to St. Mungo's Magic Injury Hospital.Many girls were happy that the murderer was caught and Hogwarts was safe again one second, and began to worry about Lockhart's safety the next second.

"Haven't these people seen the true face of that fellow Lockhart?" Pansy poked a muffin and put it on his plate, expressing that he couldn't stand the change of those girls.

Blaise scooped up some banana pudding, then replied, "Oh Pansy, you know, looking good is everything to those people."

Pan Xi glanced at him and said coolly, "Then you are also one of them."

Blaise choked, and was about to refute, when Draco also came closer: "That's right, watching Blaise flirt with those girls everywhere is just a matter of face."

"Draco, I'm different from you who haven't had sex yet. You don't know how much those girls are..." Blaise didn't finish his sentence, he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.Neil turned his attention to Alberta first, followed by Pansy and Draco.

Alberta's wand had just been put in, and when several people looked over, she asked nonchalantly, "Why, are you full?"

"Yes yes yes! We are full!" Facing Alberta's innocent and calm expression, the three of them were all in a state of shock, and the victim Blaise was even more distressed.

But no matter what, the semester is not over yet, and life has to pass.

Without Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts, it was eventually replaced by Snape.This made the Slytherins particularly comfortable, watching the Gryffindors shivering from their dean's air-conditioning and their house points plummeting.

"Oh, Your Highness, you can't even imagine that in today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Potter was called by Professor Snape several times, but that guy didn't answer once." Pansy said gloatingly.

Alberta nodded and asked casually, "How many points were deducted?"

"Twenty points!" It was Draco who answered.

The Slytherins were already very sure that this year's House Cup would definitely be theirs.Even if Dumbledore added points to Potter and the others again, it would be impossible to catch up with them and take the Academy Cup from them when the total points differed by hundreds of points.No way, who let Potter only participate in that incident?

That's right, Gryffindor once again verified a truth-lions can't keep secrets.

Therefore, everyone already knows the process of encircling and suppressing the petrified murderer.

"Gryffindor only has this advantage, and the description of the matter is quite detailed." ——This is Pansy's evaluation after hearing about it.Draco, Blaise, and Neil seconded the vote.

But in fact, for Porter, things are not as easy as they are after the fact.

At that time, Harry followed the professors very carefully.There is no way, he is just in charge of using a small foreign language like Parseltonese, he has no force value, and the safety of civilian personnel must be guaranteed.Although he really wanted to be a force exporter, but after much deliberation, he realized that he knew very few spells, so he couldn't use them.

When they came to the abandoned girls' bathroom on the second floor, the sharp-eyed Harry saw that the faces of several male professors were all blue.Oh, Principal Dumbledore's face is still as usual, he really is a great wizard.

"Who? Who's out there?" A girl's voice came from inside, and Harry knew it was the voice of Moaning Myrtle, a very strange ghost.But what ghost isn't weird?

Dumbledore has a very good chattering skill, oh no, a very good talking skill.It didn't take long to get some information from Myrtle.

—books thrown in the nearby puddles.

It was a very old book, very thin, with a black cover, and the whole thing was terribly wet.

Although Harry felt that the book was not dangerous at all, Dumbledore kept them still very vigilantly, waved his wand, and floated the book.

"Harry, I think we probably need you to speak Parseltongue to open the passage?" Dumbledore turned to him kindly after floating the book.

Harry nodded, standing in front of the pool that Hermione had deduced.Oh, before they found that there was a faucet that couldn't get water out, and there was a small snake engraved on it that would be ignored if you didn't look carefully.

Facing the faucet, he said, "Open."

But nothing happened.

"Harry, you speak English," said Dumbledore.

Harry shook his head, getting all the messy thoughts out of his head, and stared back at the faucet.He looked at the little snake and tried to hypnotize himself that it was a real snake.Then he said, "Open."

In an instant, a brilliant white light enveloped the faucet, and then it began to rotate, and then, the pool began to move and sink, revealing a pipe large enough for a person to pass through.

Wow!It's really the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets... Harry sighed silently in his heart.

Snape, who had been unusually silent since entering the girls' bathroom, jumped down first, followed by Flitwick, and Lockhart also jumped down under Dumbledore's smile.Just after Dumbledore instructed Professor McGonagall to look up and keep others away, Harry said eagerly, "Professor, I..."

"Oh, Harry..." Dumbledore seemed to have just noticed Harry's existence, and said, "You stay here, you don't have to go down with us."

"No, if you still need Parseltongue, it will be more convenient to bring me! I swear, I will obediently follow behind the professors!"

Dumbledore stared at him for a few seconds before finally giving in. "Okay, Harry. But you have to promise me that you will really follow us and not risk anything else."

"I will, Professor."

The inside of the pipe was dark and filthy, and Harry could see that there were many side pipes, but none of them were as large as the one he was sliding down.

The speed of the descent is very fast, twisting, rotating, and vertical.

Harry felt that he had slid down for a long time, and he should have passed the distance of the cellar long ago.

Behind him, Professor Dumbledore's voice was much quieter than his.

Just as he was starting to worry about how he would land, he flew out horizontally and... slammed onto the wet floor.

"Harry, are you all right?" Professor Dumbledore's voice sounded behind him.Harry got up quickly and replied, "I'm fine, Professor."

Then he saw a light around him, and he thought, probably Professor Dumbledore did it.

Only then did he see Lockhart leaning against the side wall injured, Snape and Flitwick raised their wands to him.

"What happened?" Dumbledore asked.

"This guy was going to attack us, but the spell rebounded and hit himself instead," Flitwick replied.

And Snape sneered, which made him look extraordinarily eerie in such a dim light: "I think this guy with his head full of achnatherum is trying to attack us with Forgetfulness, but unfortunately, when the wand fell, It snapped off and bounced back onto itself..."

Forget it all?Harry was taken aback, he didn't expect Lockhart to dare to do this.

Dumbledore didn't say much, and cast an unknown spell, leaving Lockhart there.

While walking with Dumbledore, Harry heard Snape taunting him in a low voice for his overreaching, then looked back at Lockhart who was gradually melting into the darkness, and suddenly felt that Lockhart was really pitiful.Come to think of it, the experiences in his books were all obtained by forgetting everything, right?

With Professor Dumbledore by his side, Harry felt extremely at ease.Such an old man is the hope of the entire magic world, and his gentle smile has a soothing effect.

From time to time on the road, some animal bones will be stepped on, messy and smelly.

After walking for a while, Snape, who was leading the way, stopped.Harry followed and looked up ahead, only to see a huge curved silhouette just around the bend.

Harry felt the light brighten up before his eyes, and then he saw what it was.

—that is the molted skin of a snake, or, more precisely, of a basilisk.

Repulsive bright green, curled up, lying in an empty underpass.

And Harry's heart beat fast at the thought that the basilisk would be at least twenty feet long...

He quickly glanced at Dumbledore, calmed down a little, and then he saw what Snape had done, so he put away the huge snake slough.Well, that's right, it must be a very good potion material.

After walking for a while, after turning a corner, Harry saw a solid wall appear in front of him.Carved on the wall are two intertwined snakes, and the eyes of the snakes are set with huge shining emeralds.

After getting Professor Dumbledore's consent, Harry stepped forward, stared at the emerald eyes, and said in a low hiss, "Open."

The author has something to say: After finishing the experiment last night, I really didn’t have the energy to code words. After typing two thousand words, I went to sleep.Now, taking advantage of the gap in the experiment, go back to the dormitory and finish the code below.Then wait for three o'clock to continue the experiment. QAQ is so hard on me...
