Chapter 181 The Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets

Draco's eyebrows twitched, obviously moved by Harry's words.

Strangely enough, Harry's expression seemed to be reconciled, or reluctant, but he continued: "Yes, this will be very good for you-perhaps it should be said, Good for the Malfoys."

"What do you mean?" Draco's eyebrows were almost raised, and he had a bad feeling.

"Only if you also participate in the battle to eliminate monsters, no one will suspect that the diary and this attack have something to do with Malfoy, right?" Harry spoke very slowly, like a Like a bad actor reciting his lines. "We must destroy the basilisk. If that diary can control you to open the secret room again without your knowledge, or if this diary affects me, then it will be difficult for me to continue to cover up the secret room for you." It's a secret."

"Harry Potter!" Draco blushed again - but this time with obvious anger.He looked at Harry in disbelief, and couldn't comprehend that Gryffindor in front of him could announce his intention to break the oath between them so openly. "We swore that you would not tell anyone about this, you would..."

"Will die? Oh, Malfoy, I suggest that before you want to use the unbreakable oath in the future, you'd better understand how this oath can really take effect." Harry seemed desperately trying to reveal a Slytherin-like fake Laugh, but he didn't succeed in the end, he just cocked his mouth weirdly. "You can't refuse to take part—I'll let you know when I'm all ready to act."

Seeing the back of Harry leaving, Draco thumped the wall beside him angrily, turned and ran towards the library.

Harry leaned against the wall at the turn, gasping for breath like a goldfish starved of oxygen.He was particularly uncomfortable with what he had just said.He hated himself for blackmailing Draco Malfoy into that dangerous plan like he had just done.

——There's no way, and you've tried it, the only way to get Malfoy to agree, isn't it?Harry silently said to himself several times in his heart before he calmed down a little.

These days, Harry really hasn't been idle.After getting the diary from Malfoy and finding out about the Chamber of Secrets, he did a lot of research and investigation, and even secretly contacted Aunt Jody with a double-sided mirror to confirm the details of the Chamber of Secrets opening 50 years ago ——He knew that Aunt Jody was very knowledgeable about the history of magic—and that's why Harry knew that the girl who died 50 years ago was now in the girls' bathroom on the third floor before talking to Draco The ghost Myrtle, and has long established that the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is likely to be in Myrtle's bathroom.

He really didn't want to include Malfoy in this basilisk-killing plan, if he could.Although entering the Chamber of Secrets to find the basilisk is a great risk, for the young boy, this kind of adventure can also make him feel that he has become a real hero, not as he is now, because of his mother's sacrifice. The Boy Who Lived is such a false name.

"So, you already know this much about the Basilisk and the Chamber of Secrets?" Hermione was discharged from the hospital in February.As soon as she returned to Gryffindor Tower, the first thing she paid attention to was the Chamber of Secrets. "Then what are you going to do? By the way, where is the diary?"

Maybe Draco was right, and after the diary left him, the attack really never happened again.People's doubts about Harry gradually decreased a lot, and even Peeves, who loved to make fun of it at the beginning, was tired of it.But for Harry and the others, this was not the end of the matter.

"The diary? I... I put it in a safe place," Harry replied.

Facing the suspicious eyes of the brown-haired little witch in front of him, Ron was very interesting to testify for Harry: "Neville and I can prove that at least Harry didn't put such a dangerous thing under his pillow like that idiot Malfoy."

"As for my plans..." Harry hesitated for a long time, finally deciding to be as open and honest as possible with his friends. "I've almost found the secret room. As long as the basilisk can be eliminated, this dangerous situation will never happen again."

"Are you crazy?" Facing Harry's confession, the Muggle-born Hermione and the pure-blooded Draco miraculously used the same words under the same circumstances. "That's a basilisk! You—" the girl's anger turned to the other two friends, "and let him carry out such a dangerous plan?"

"Actually, it's the first time we've heard of it." Ron and Neville were also stunned. They couldn't believe that their friend who slept in the same dormitory with them every night planned such a dangerous thing.

"No, I won't be in danger." Harry shook his head, his tone surprisingly confident. "And, I'm not going alone, there's... er... Malfoy."

"Listen buddy, do you want to go on an adventure with Malfoy and leave us—your friends aside?" Ron couldn't understand the yelling too loudly, attracting a few Gryffins nearby Much attention.

"What's wrong with little Ronnie?" The twins who were studying the anti-demon glasses that Harry brought back also turned their heads and looked at Ron in doubt. "What happened again?"

"No-nothing." Ron sat back on the chair dejectedly. He seemed to be wilted, and even the color of his fiery red hair was dimmed. It seemed that Harry had "chosen" on the partner who went to destroy the basilisk. The Malfoy incident hit him hard.

"Listen, Ron, I just have to take Malfoy, and I don't want to go with him if I can..." Harry didn't know how to comfort Ron, he scratched his hair in distress, "My It means, after all, he once opened the secret chamber..."

"Oh, but that's Malfoy, how can you go to such a dangerous place with him?" Ron's face was better now, but he still looked worried: "Think about it, what if he wants to be with that What should the monster and that diary deal with you together?"

Hermione looked at Harry thoughtfully.She had the vague feeling again that Harry was hiding something from them again.As much as she tried to convince Harry that there must be a reason for what he did, she still couldn't figure out why Harry did it.

"Harry," Hermione said to Harry after glancing at Ron and Neville, "do you think we'd be willing to watch you and Malfoy go on an adventure in the Chamber of Secrets?"

Neville also said resolutely, "Yes, Harry, we can't let you go alone."

"So, if you're really going to make a move, don't keep it from us, okay?" Hermione's final conclusion was imposing. "No matter...for whatever reason."

Facing Hermione's expression, Harry suddenly felt a little guilty, and nodded slowly.

The recent peace seemed to make Lockhart become arrogant again, as if he thought that his "prestige" prevented the prisoner from continuing to commit murder.He's taken it too far, and now even first-year students can see that Lockhart is not popular among the professors - even the smile on the face of the usually good-natured Professor Bubbaji reluctantly!

"Professor Bubbaji." Lockhart had a bright smile on his face, and the exposed white teeth made people feel dizzy. "I think we need to boost our morale. I hope you can also bring the students to participate. You know best that muggles sometimes know how to enjoy some festive atmosphere better than wizards."

"Oh, yes, Muggles also know how to get along better with each other." The successive incidents in the school made Jody upset. Now she is not in the mood to perfuse Lockhart at all, even Didn't even listen to what he was saying.

But Lockhart, as always, doesn't understand what it means to observe words and feelings, and Jody soon knows what his so-called morale boosting method is——

Early on Valentine's Day, the auditorium had been specially decorated by Lockhart, with pink flowers blooming on the walls and heart-shaped confetti floating so that everyone couldn't even eat breakfast properly.But Lockhart excitedly announced that today there will be a "Little God of Cupid" in the school to deliver a love confession to everyone, and also suggested that the professors also provide some help - such as asking Snape to teach everyone how to make * * medicine, or Ask Professor Flitwick to teach you the magic of deceiving people.

Snape's usually pale face turned red with anger this time.But the reason for his anger was entirely because of Victor who seemed to be taking advantage of the chaos to confess to Jody, not because of Lockhart's proposal - Snape never believed that anyone in the school would dare to ask him to learn how to make something* potion.

"It's going to be very scary today..." Ron said with foresight, looking at the gloomy dwarfs whom Lockhart called little cupids.

Harry frowned, lost in thought. "Do you think it would be a good idea to act today? Today is a good opportunity, and we only have one Charms class today, so we have plenty of time."

"Then we're going with you, too." Hermione seemed pleased that Harry hadn't kept it a secret. "Next, are you going to find Malfoy?"

"I'm going to make sure that the diary is well hidden, and I'll put on those demon-proof glasses that Luna gave us, and then we'll meet in Myrtle's bathroom," Harry said.

Hearing Luna's name, Hermione's lips twitched, as if she wanted to express that she didn't trust those glasses, but she just nodded in the end: "Then Ron, Neville and I went to Hagrid to borrow a few." A rooster."

Walking into Myrtle's bathroom, Draco couldn't believe how many people there were.He looked at the Gryffindors in front of him in surprise, even Longbottom, who he thought was the most timid, was among them, carrying cages with roosters and wearing ridiculous glasses on their faces. "So, you decided to act today? You asked them to participate?"

Draco's eyes drifted to Harry's face, and despite the inappropriate occasion, he almost laughed.After all, it's not often you see someone wearing two pairs of glasses at the same time.

"We're the ones coming with Harry," Neville corrected.

"We do intend to act today," Harry nodded, pointing to the faucet beside him: "We have already found it."

They arrived much earlier than Draco and had been looking for the entrance here for a while.In the end, it was Harry who asked Weeping Myrtle to find a relief sculpture of a little snake on a faucet in front of the washstand.

"Try it, Harry." Ron swallowed nervously.

Harry tried several times, and finally succeeded in making a hissing sound from his lips. This terrifying sound made all the children present shudder in unison.But only Harry himself knew, and what he said was: "Open."

The pool slowly disappeared, and what appeared in place was a water pipe that could accommodate one person.

"It really is the water pipe. I guess it's because of the water pipe that Harry heard the sound of the basilisk in the corridor." Hermione's eyes flashed a gleam, but the clean girl frowned immediately: "Are we going down here?"

"No, I'm not going, I'm not going!" Draco stared at the dark hole in horror, and took two steps back, almost knocking Neville down. "You will die!"

"Malfoy, why do people in the school suspect that I am the heir of Slytherin?" Harry turned his head and looked at Draco calmly.

"Because you are Parseltongue." Draco swallowed, holding his arms tightly with both hands, his emotions seemed to be extremely tense, and he didn't even notice Ron's contemptuous expression.

"Yeah," said Harry, "so what are you worried about? No one else at Hogwarts can control that basilisk now, except me, and no one will let it attack you." He thought for a moment , and took out a pair of anti-demon glasses from his pocket: "This is for you, it will probably be useful."

Harry then grabbed a chicken from its cage, cast a spell so that the chicken seemed to be encased in a bubble, and threw it down that tunnel first.He only looked at his friends and Draco, who seemed less frightened, when he heard the rooster's terrified crowing continued in the hole, and jumped into the passage first.

Draco looked at the Gryffindors around him, bit his lip with a tense face, and jumped in after Harry.Then Hermione, Ron and Neville.The cage with the rooster caused Neville and Ron quite a problem - Neville missed the cage as he slid down the passage, and the cage with the rooster slammed into Ron's body hard.

"Sorry!" Even though it was dark underground, everyone could still see Neville blushing.

"Oh..." Ron moaned and got up, rubbing his shoulder that was hit, "Fortunately, it doesn't hurt too much."

Harry directed the chicken that was hit in the bubble, and walked in the front. The tunnel was too dark, and everyone took out their wands and used fluorescent flashes to illuminate them.

"Remember, close your eyes if anything goes wrong," said Harry, stepping forward on the wet ground, taking advantage of the light coming from behind him.He turned around, a little surprised that the one following him closest was actually Draco who was still resisting just now. "It's bad enough that wearing these glasses only gets you petrified."

"Can't these glasses keep us safe?" Draco's terrified voice came from behind Harry.

Good, Harry thought, now he knew why Draco had been so bold just now.But now that he's come here, it's too late for Draco to regret going back.They walked along this wet pipe for a while, and then turned a bend.

"Oh, my God!" Suddenly, Hermione let out a forcibly restrained low cry.Neville also let out a horrified cry from his throat.

Ron forced himself to ask, "So, what's that?" He didn't even notice how hoarse his voice was.

"Looks...like snakeskin." Harry squinted his eyes and looked at it with the light behind him - it was not easy for him with two pairs of glasses.

"Such a big snake skin!" Ron clutched his chest, "Then how big is that snake?",

Harry couldn't answer the question.He regretted letting Ron and the others follow him even more now.But what if he wanted his friends back now and kept Malfoy?
