The Harry Potter Show Teaser

Chapter 60 The Monster and the Little Detective
"Come in, are you...?" Weiss walked into the door and found a person in the room looking at them who came in. With just one glance, Weiss froze on the spot.

"..." "Professor Sylvanos Kettleburn, hello, I'm Hermione Jane Granger, a second-year Gryffindor student. He's Wes Inbas Cobb Lev is also a second-year Gryffindor student." Hermione saw Wes in front of him suddenly standing there, thinking that Wes didn't know the professor's name, so she couldn't help but bowed and replied, and when she straightened up and saw Professor Kettleburn finally knew why Weiss was stunned.

Professor Kettleburn is an old man with a big white beard. It is worth noting that one arm and one leg are prosthetics.

When Professor Kettleburn saw them staring at his prosthetic limbs, he couldn't help laughing, and explained angrily: "These are caused by the magical creatures I have observed or raised in the past! Don't worry! The most powerful wizard is not Spells, combat power" said he controlled his wooden arm, pointed to his head and continued: "It's wisdom!"

"Yes, thank you very much for your teaching." Weiss reacted and quickly bowed. Hermione behind her followed suit and gave a salute.

"Haha, don't worry about it! I've heard about you! Miss Know-It-All of Gryffindor!" He winked at Hermione as he spoke, "and the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin, so, Miss Know-it-all, what is worth running for?" Come to me, a bad old man? Hahaha..."

"That's right, we want to know. In the legend of the Chamber of Secrets, there is a magical creature in it. It has lived for thousands of years. Can you be sure what it is? Oh! Yes! It can also petrify people!" Hermione said to Professor Kettleburn smiled awkwardly and revealed their purpose.

"Oh! That's the question again. It seems that Gryffindor has a clever little lion, not bad, not much worse than Ravenclaw!" Professor Kettleburn first praised Hermione before saying: "Yes, And there are many! Without knowing other conditions, I can't say the specific type."

"That's it..." Hermione's expression fell, partly because there was no answer, and partly because the Ravenclaw students also thought of this and asked in advance.

"Professor Kettleburn, I still have a few doubts." Weiss said, "I don't know which one is useful. 1. There were groups of spiders fleeing on the day of the attack. 2. There was water on the ground during the attack. 3. The sea All the roosters raised by Grid were killed." After speaking, he looked at Professor Kettleburn quietly.

"Hmm... Where did you get these doubts? Is it correct? But it still doesn't work. Regarding the second point, the condition of water, I can't think of any magical creatures in the water that can leave the water and cause such petrification damage." Kate Professor Alborn pondered.

"There should be nothing wrong. Harry Potter and the others discovered the first two points, and Rubeus Hagrid discovered the second point... What if the second point is removed?"

"Remove the second point? Well...not at all. There are quite a few magical animals that are harmed by petrification, but there are almost none that can be connected with spiders and roosters, unless they are artificially crossed by modern wizards." Professor Kettleburn still shook his head.

"Well, I don't think it can be a modern wizard's, because it has lived in it for nearly a thousand years." Hermione denied Professor Kettleburn's guess.

"Well, Professor Kettleburn, let me summarize: 1. Long life, 2. Petrification damage, 3. Spiders, 4. Roosters, 5. There are water or aquatic creatures in the living place." Weiss counted with his fingers: "Remove the If there are one or two things, will there be any results?"

"Well...if...yes, minus the petrochemical damage and the presence of water, it is true!" The old man patted his prosthetic limb and said excitedly: "Basilisk! I'm going to tell Albus!" Then he was ready to go out .

"Professor! We're going with you!" Weiss hurriedly chased after him, walked for a while, and said suddenly: "Hermione, don't tell Harry and Ron the person I guessed with you just now in front of the door. I have always felt that there is something wrong with Lockhart, we can't startle the snake."

"I finally understand why so many people don't like the truth..." Hermione said in a low voice.

…Principal room…

"Albus! I know! There may be a basilisk inside!" Professor Kettleburn said excitedly as he walked into the principal's office, sweating profusely.

"Huh? Sylvanos, what's the matter? Sit down and talk slowly." Dumbledore quickly used his wand to conjure a chair for Professor Kettleburn to sit on.

"Hmm... this... Miss Granger and Mr. Kabrev came to find me, they told me a few clues, and then I guessed based on the clues, the secret room is very likely to be a basilisk!"

"Little Weiss, let's start from the beginning." Dumbledore was a little confused, so he asked Weiss to start from the beginning.

"Okay, Professor, Hermione and I..." Weiss said slowly from the beginning.

"Well... that's right, 50 years ago... we needed to prepare... Wait a moment, I'll call them here." As he spoke, he waved his magic wand, and a silver phoenix flew out. "Sit for a while and drink some honey water." The old man said.

"Professor, I'll let Hermione talk later... I'm dry." Weiss said while watching Hermione sip honey water.

"Oh! I forgot about you, but don't you like sweets?" The old man said, changing a cup of black tea to Weiss.

Smelling the aroma of tea, Hermione raised her head and sniffed lightly.

"I didn't say that? Please have another glass, thank you." Weiss drank it in one gulp, and said to the old man while holding the glass.

"Huh? Then why do you tell me to eat less sugar?" Dumbledore filled up Wes's glass again.

"Ms. Pomfrey ordered it! Professor McGonagall ordered it! Professor Sprout ordered it! Well... it's almost them." Weiss was about to drink when he found that someone grabbed his sleeve, and turned his head Seeing Hermione, she held up her small teacup and beckoned Wes to give her some.

"And Sister Gamelia persuaded King Salem in the same way." Weiss gave Hermione a little bit, just a little bit.Hermione watched him drink another glass alone, and angrily tugged on his sleeve even harder.

"Well... there are so many people." Dumbledore hesitated, and decided to change the subject: "Miss Granger, do you need some tea?"

"Thank you, Professor." Hermione nodded quickly.

"Albus! If it's really a basilisk, how do you think it made Mrs. Norris merely petrified?" Professor Kettleburn took a little breath and asked the most incredible thing he found: "You know The gaze of the basilisk is deadly!"

"It's not clear yet, maybe it's because she's a cat? But your other guesses are very accurate, and it's worth me notifying the four deans." Dumbledore confirmed their guesses.

"Professor Kettleburn, can you introduce me to the basilisk?" Weiss asked suddenly.

"Oh! Basilisk! There are many terrible animals and monsters haunting our land, but none is as weird and deadly as the Basilisk, also known as the King of Snakes. This snake can grow to a huge size. Incomparable in size, it lives for hundreds of years, but it was born from the eggs hatched by toads. Its killing method is also very creepy. In addition to its poisonous and deadly fangs, the basilisk also has a pair of eyes that can kill. Anything that looks directly into the Basilisk's eyes dies instantly.Spiders run away as soon as they see the Basilisk, the Basilisk is their natural enemy, and the only thing that makes the Basilisk run away is the crowing of the rooster, because it is the most important thing for the Basilisk. Fatal." Professor Kettleburn wrote as scripted.

"Hmm...Professor, I found another doubtful point..."
