There was an attack just after the diary was lost, even if they were stupid, they should have guessed the connection between the diary and the secret room.It's a pity that the diary has been lost now, and nothing else will help.

"Neville, go and tell Dumbledore about BASILISK now." After a long silence, Drake said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the other four people looking at him with incredulous eyes. It can't be blamed for Harry and the others being too fussy. It is really that Draco said this too much "Gryffindor".You must know that not every student at Hogwarts likes and trusts their headmaster, and Draco is one of the best among them-of course, there are not just people who know this at present.

Draco curled his lips, ignoring their strange eyes.If it wasn't for an emergency, he wouldn't want to have anything to do with the old fox Dumbledore. "It's best for Neville to deal with this matter, so that the professor and other students can take precautions."

"Hmm! I'll go right away." After careful consideration, Neville ran straight out the door without even caring about his schoolbag. For now, time might really be equal to life.

However, the current situation seems to be worse than expected. Neville finally found Dumbledore. When he made great efforts to get to the principal's office, he only saw Dumbledore's Phoenix Fox.In desperation, Neville could only wait in the office.He looked at the familiar and unfamiliar small silverware on the big shelf in the room, and finally his eyes fell on Gryffindor's sword.Looking at the gem-encrusted sword, Neville remembered what Dumbledore had said - only the true heir of Gryffindor could hold it and wield his power.

It can't be said that he is not curious, but now that he has something on his mind, he can't put his mind on it.Anxiously waiting until dark, Neville only saw the exhausted Professor McGonagall, and was told that Dumbledore had already left the school - together with Hagrid.

Hearing this, Neville, who had nothing to do, could only tell Professor McGonagall about the basilisk's guess.It's a pity that Professor McGonagall is skeptical about his guess. Anyway, it's just a student's guess, and what is BASILISK?If there is such a monster in the school, I believe Hogwarts will be closed tomorrow as soon as it is announced.

After much deliberation, she asked Neville not to spread the news, but she also followed Neville's suggestion and installed mirrors at every corner of the school.

When Neville returned to the dormitory to inform Hermione and Ron Dumbledore of leaving school, both of them had panicked looks on their faces.They had already determined that the monster was BASILISK, but they couldn't tell others why they knew it. This made the three of them feel as if their hearts were blocked by something, which was extremely uncomfortable.Fortunately, Professor McGonagall agreed to install the mirror even though he doubted their speculation, otherwise the situation could have been worse.

The news of Dumbledore's departure could not hide the students. The fear spread in Hogwarts like never before. The bright smiling faces almost disappeared on the campus, and even the short-lived laughter echoing in the corridor seemed to be So sharp and contrived.

The students seem to be in a hurry when they walk in the corridors, they are all rushing to the dormitory, which is still safe now, so no one wants to stay in an unsafe area when they are free.Although people were panicking, this situation greatly facilitated Harry's actions. When night came, in order to prove his bold conjecture, he sneaked out of the dormitory with the Marauder's Map.Due to various reasons, Harry, who had to act alone, could only say sorry to Drake, who had been cursed by him in the dormitory.

After complaining again and again that the Marauder's Map could not display the names of non-human creatures such as basilisks, Harry finally, in searching again and again, met the man he had been waiting for these days on the fourth night when Percy's girlfriend was petrified. Target.

"...Kill....Blood..."

A cold, bloodthirsty voice suddenly sounded in the silent corridor. Suddenly, Harry felt that the suppressed bloodthirsty factor in his body was quickly stirred up again, making him want to indulge in the thrill of killing.However, Harry is not someone who is controlled by desire just now. After calming down, he sneered and raised the corners of his mouth, and opened his mouth slightly, "Stop your actions, go back to the Chamber of Secrets, and never appear in the Chamber of Secrets again." Other places." Harry felt that the frequency of his voice was so different, but it seemed to be no different from normal speech, so natural and smooth, is this a talent?

When he was "the savior", he didn't actually have many opportunities to use this talent, and he never thought about using it, because it would only remind him of his weird connection with Voldemort.Thinking about it now, I was really stupid at that time, but I was also lucky enough to be able to kill it head-to-head...

Repeating this sentence over and over while thinking, Harry chased after BASILISK, and looked at the multi-point map in his hand from time to time to see if there was anyone nearby.Slowly, his words seemed to have an effect, and the murderous look in BASILISK's voice gradually became flat - at this point, Harry knew that he had succeeded!At least, he knows that he can really influence BASILISK.

Feeling the icy wetness on his back, Harry smiled, licked his dry lips, and repeated his order one last time.

BASILISK's voice disappeared, and Harry knew it had gone back to the Chamber of Secrets. At this point, he completely proved the suspicion in his heart-BASILISK was operated by Snakemouth, regardless of whether this Snakemouth was the heir of Slytherin or not.Harry thought that the reason for such a statement might be that only Slytherin has recorded the old tongue of snakes so far, and coupled with the guidance of legends, this misunderstanding appeared.

Now, BASILISK can't do him any harm, yes, almost.And all he had to worry about was Ginny's problem.

Harry took a laissez-faire approach to Ginny because he knew it was "history".It's not that he can't change. With his current ability, he can completely prevent the "history" that may happen later, but he dare not do so. At least, no one in "history" will die.

In the following days, as the mandrake was about to mature, Professor Sprout announced that it could be used for medicine in a few days, so the tense and depressed atmosphere in the school eased a little.And three days before the final exam, Professor McGonagall brought good news to the whole school: Dumbledore is coming back!

For a while, people kept talking about various speculations, such as the murderer has been caught, such as the canceled Quidditch match will resume, such as the anti-petrochemical potion will be prepared tonight... It's all It was exciting news, and it brought smiles to more and more students' faces, and even Draco was relieved.

However, Harry knew that this was the calm before the storm. They were having breakfast in the dining room when the news was announced, and he was not surprised to notice Ginny who was hesitant to speak next to Ron.At this time, she was obviously troubled and tired. When she wanted to say something to Hermione beside Ron, she was interrupted by Percy who had just sat down, so Harry only saw her run away with a horrified expression.

"You seem to be paying attention to Ron's little sister these days..." Drake's sudden words made Harry look away, and he looked at Drake with some doubts, "Is it obvious what I did?"

He admitted it!Draco suddenly felt a little bad, so he said angrily: "Everyone can tell, why, you like her?"

Sneering at Drake's unusual reaction, Harry looked at Drake with a smile on his face: "What are you thinking, I just think that Ginny is not right recently, okay? If I really like her, she would be my girlfriend long ago! "It's not an exaggeration to brag, although now that he is more and more handsome, he still has this confidence.

Hearing Harry's answer, Draco felt a little better, but his mouth didn't stop, "It's well known that Ginny likes Neville, do you think you can do it?"

"Brother, how can you doubt the attractiveness of my masculinity to little girls?" Harry looked at Drake with some dissatisfaction. Although he was not as popular as him, he also gained a lot on Valentine's Day.

Now it was Draco who sneered, and he gracefully brushed the platinum-blond hair hanging down his cheeks, looked into Harry's emerald green eyes with a half-smile, but stopped talking.

Lips curled, Harry decided not to dwell on the issue anymore, it was pointless, why would they bring the topic up to this?He should be watching Ginny.

The afternoon classes were still going on, without stopping because of exams or Dumbledore's return.Harry played with the wand in his hand, lighting the slippers placed in front of him one after another.They'd been asked to turn it into a rabbit, but Harry's mind wasn't on that at all.He just kept thinking about his previous experience and comparing it with the present, calculating how much similarity there is. After all, the more similar they are, the safer they will be.

Just as the students were trying to change the slippers in front of them, the magically amplified voice of Professor McGonagall, who had just been called out before, sounded in the campus, "All students go back to their dormitories, all teachers Go back to the teacher's room, immediately! The prefects should take care of the students from the same academy."The sudden change made the students stunned. After a strange silence, there was an astonishing discussion.Harry, Draco, and Ron walked towards the classroom door together, but they were stopped by Professor McGonagall before they could reach the door. "Mr. Weasley, I would like you to come with me, there is something I need to inform you."

"Ah? Oh, yes, professor!" Hearing that Ron was at a loss, being called away by the professor alone at such a time made him feel uneasy.

Ron followed McGonagall, Neville and Hermione looked at each other, and then looked at Harry and Drake in unison. "What should we do now, go back to the dormitory?"

How could Harry leave, just now he was sure that Riddle had done it.So it is impossible for him to leave.Shaking his head without hesitation, Harry said in a deep voice, "No, wait for Ron to come back and find out what happened."

They couldn't stay here blatantly, so they chose a large closet outside the teacher's room to hide in. This was the place Ron would pass by after leaving the teacher's room.After Ron, the twins and Percy followed the teacher into the teacher's room. Lockhart was obviously late. He entered the teacher's room in a hurry, but soon he left in a hurry.

Not long after, when the brothers appeared in their sight again, their pale and gloomy expressions frightened Neville and Hermione.Several people hurriedly chased after them, the twins and Percy just glanced at them and left directly, leaving Ron and the four of them far behind.

"Ron, what happened? Why are the professors looking for you?" Hermione suddenly asked questions, this matter was too abnormal.

Ron lowered his head for a long time, making it difficult to see his expression.After a long while, Hermione heard him say faintly, "Ginny... was arrested and taken to the secret room... her life and death are uncertain."

For a split second, Hermione felt like she had fallen into an ice cave and was taken away... This has never happened before...

Ron's eyes seemed to be out of focus, and he looked forward blankly, mechanically answering Hermione's questions one after another.It wasn't that Hermione wanted to mess with him, but the current situation couldn't allow Ron to be in a daze.

"You mean, Lockhart is ready to settle this matter?" Hermione asked after summarizing Ron's scattered words just now.

Nodding, Ron didn't speak again.

"Very well, I think we'll go find him now, tell him what we know, and prepare him so that he'll be more likely to rescue Ginny." Hermione said a little excitedly.

Harry nodded in agreement, looked at Hermione and Draco, pursed his lips and still didn't say the words to tell them to leave.

After speaking, the few people quickly walked towards Lockhart's office. Suddenly, Neville exclaimed: "Merlin, we don't know where the entrance to the secret room is..."

"I think I know..." Harry didn't want to spend any more time on these issues, so he said straight up, "If I'm not mistaken, it has something to do with Myrtle's bathroom!"

"Base?" Draco, who had been silent all this time, asked.

"Myrtle said she died 50 years ago. I remember Hermione casually mentioned it when we chatted with us last time. And it happened that a girl died 50 years ago. If that girl hasn't left..."

"That's right!" Hermione nodded abruptly, "A lot of things make sense, when I was chatting with her, she mentioned her death and the time of her death...Merlin, I didn't notice so many clues ..."

Pat Hermione on the shoulder, this girl has done a good job.By this time they were approaching Lockhart's office, and the noise of hurried footsteps and moving objects inside was so loud that they could have heard it even if they were still in the hallway.

Neville stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was suddenly quiet inside.After a while, the door slowly opened a crack, and Lockhart was looking out cautiously.

Yes, as in "History," Lockhart was about to slip.It's a pity that in the past, he just met himself and Ron and couldn't run away. Now that there are five of them, it is even more impossible for Lockhart to leave here.
