Ron and Hermione’s expressions were wonderful at the moment.
Harry struggled to stand up, “Thanks to your information, Hermione, Parseltongue can indeed control Snake Monsters.”
Hermione covered her mouth, “Harry, you almost died, you know that?”
“Yeah, sorry!” Justin said as he got up from the floor, “He was trying to save me …”
He climbed to his feet, wiped his hands on his shirt, and formally held out his hand, “Harry, I’m sorry I’ve been misunderstanding you. I once approached Professor Hap, and he assured me that you were never the killer, but I freaked out during that dueling class …”
“It’s nothing.” Harry pretended to be relaxed as he held out his hand in the meantime, and the two shook hands together.
“A happy ending, right?” Ron said, “I don’t mean to interrupt the friendly atmosphere, but I think we need to inform Professor as soon as possible …”
“Wait,” Harry said as he walked over to a wooden door in front of him, which was hidden.
“This can’t be …,” Hermione covered her mouth.
“It could be,” Harry said, “but it should be gone by now.”
He pushed the door open and stepped inside.
Ron and Hermione followed him.
It is a very small room, full of dust, and long track trails disappeared at a wall.
“You think that there is an entrance to the Chamber of Secrets here?” Hermione asked.
“We discussed it, didn’t we?” Harry carefully surveyed the place where the snake monster trail disappeared, ” there is probably only one entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, but in order to facilitate the basilisk’s movement, Slytherin may have left more than one exit in the castle’s pipe network.”
Harry said in a Parseltongue, “Open up.” Justine, who had just entered, shivered.
The walls didn’t react even a little, which disappointed him a little.
Ron guessed, “Harry, if this is really an exit that Slytherin prepared for the basilisk, he must have set special conditions-”
” In turn, that means that the real entrance to the Chamber of Secrets must not have these restrictions!” Hermione said excitedly.
“Then what are we waiting for?” Ron looked as if ” the problem is finally solved “, ” we just need to inform the professor, no matter who it is, as long as it is not Lockhart … ”
Harry said, “No, you should inform the professor.”
The other three looked at him in confusion.
“Look, you guys go get someone, Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Hap, or even Snape.”
“What about you, Harry?”
“I’m going to follow along a bit to prevent the basilisk from coming out again. From the conversations I’ve had with it, it’s not a nice one, in case it can’t resist the urge to attack … halfway through,” Harry gave them a meaningful look, “We’ve already guessed the real entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, haven’t we? I’ll see you there!”
Harry took a deep breath and hurriedly ran away.
“Let’s go!” Ron and Hermione moved immediately.
“Wait!” Justin stood up, “I’ll help too.”
Hermione and Ron looked at each other, “Okay if you find any professor, tell them to go to the abandoned girl’s lavatory where Myrtle usually stays, the monster in the secret room is a basilisk, tell the professor to be careful not to look it in the eye.”
Then the three of them split up.
At the other end, Harry ran all the way in the direction of the lavatory, and just as he was about to arrive, he met up with a person on the corner, and they collided hard.
Harry’s glasses were knocked off, and he felt pain all over, which reminded him of his experience of falling off his broom at the Quidditch match. He glanced across at the young wizard, who he recognized as Draco Malfoy from the colour of the man’s hair.
Malfoy was also hit hard, he had a very dull expression and seemed dumbstruck as a black book flung out of his arms.
“Potter …” he said with a confused look before finally coming back to his senses, “Potter!”
Harry picked up his glasses from the floor and stood up quickly, “Get out of my way, Malfoy!” He left immediately.
Draco, who remained in place, glanced around somewhat confusedly, and his expression suddenly became terrified.
” Huff~huff~”
Harry ran furiously all the way to the girls’ lavatory, and he pushed the door open, oblivious to the stagnant water on the floor.
He said carefully and tentatively in a Parseltongue, “Are you here? The monster of the Chamber of Secrets?” All the while preparing to close his eyes.
After waiting a few seconds, just when he thought that everything is safe, he heard a rustling sound.
It is the basilisk!
Harry moved his feet following the subtle sound, and he judged that the basilisk had returned from other pipes. According to their previous analysis, Hogwarts’ castle is littered with all kinds of pipes, but the Chamber of Secrets can not be hidden in the pipes, so the two must have a unique connecting passage.
And that place is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.
As a result of their discussion, the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is likely to be in the place where Myrtle was killed back then – the present abandoned girls’ lavatory because Myrtle had described with great enthusiasm that she had heard a boy’s voice on the day she died.
This boy could only be the heir to the Chamber of Secrets of the previous generation!
Following the subtle voice, Harry came to the center of the lavatory, where there is a circular row of hand-washing sinks. He gently set his book bag aside, ignoring the stagnant water on the floor, and plopped down with his ear pressed against the metal pipe of the sink.
After a loud sound like a slimy hose slicing through the ground, the sound disappeared completely.
Waiting quietly for a dozen seconds, Harry stood up, around the sink, carefully examined around, unsurprisingly in a facet sidewall found a small snake pattern.
He could hardly hold back his excitement and whispered in a Parseltongue, “Open.”
Instantly, the facet emitted a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly. Then, the sink also moved, Harry, watched it slowly disappear from his sight, revealing a very thick pipe.
Harry stepped over the stagnant water, poking his head to look, inside the dark tube in front of him, which looked like a path to hell.
Harry is hesitating whether to go down, according to his past habits, certainly does not want to jump straight down. Although the last time he was detained by Professor Hap, copied documents for two days for his reckless behaviour about the penalties of young wizards in the past, so he felt he should be a little steady.
“What are you doing?”
A very melancholy voice appeared behind him, very close to him, as if speaking close to him at the back of his head.
Harry got startled, his feet slipped, and his whole body plunged in, disappearing down the tunnel.
The last thing he saw is a rather surprised expression on Myrtle’s face.
My Bookbag …
There is Professor Hap’s golem there!
