if i am not me

According to the finger that Myrtle pointed out, they all looked at the extremely ordinary sink in front of the toilet. This discovery made them very excited, but Lockhart turned a handsome face.I believe that if it weren't for the magic wand that was behind him, he would rush out of here without hesitation, leave forever, and never come back.

Asking Ron to continue to use his wand to prevent Lockhart from escaping, the four began to search around the sink. Harry lingered to the entrance and exit, pretending to check it out before shouting at them: "Look, What's this?"

Hearing these words, several people hurriedly gathered around - on the seemingly ordinary sink, a lifelike little snake was carved on the side of a copper dragon faucet, and they would not have noticed it if they hadn't looked for it deliberately.Neville swallowed, they actually found the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.

She reached out her hand to turn the faucet, but Myrtle giggled next to her, "Haha, that faucet can't be turned on all the time." flushed a toilet and splashed water all over the floor.

Sure enough, when Neville twisted the faucet, it didn't budge. Ron rolled his eyes at the snake sculpture on the broken faucet and said, "Neville, maybe you should try the one that only you know..."

Neville frowned invisibly, he glanced at Lockhart, Ron immediately poked Lockhart with his wand, motioning for him to go out with him for the time being, Draco also pulled out worriedly. Pointing the wand, Lockhart followed out.It wasn't until Hermione closed the door and nodded to him that Neville looked at the carved little snake in peace.

He was a little nervous, stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped lips, and tried to say to the snake: "Hit...open it!"

Harry immediately laughed beside him, "Neville, we can all understand what you're saying." Hermione couldn't help but smile, but she still said, "Try again! Imagine you It’s speaking what it can understand.”

Neville was too nervous, and Harry and Hermione's words made him a little uneasy, but he continued to stare at the snake, trying to imagine it as a real snake, "Open!" Harry heard the familiar "hiss." "Sound, he understands that Neville is speaking Parseltongue, this feeling is very strange, now, right in front of his eyes, there is a person who can speak Parseltongue like him, but he is not the annoying Voldemort.Hermione's expression was equally surprised, for the sound Neville made, and for what she saw.

Following the "hiss" sound from Neville's mouth, a dark golden light came out from the faucet, and the source was the carved snake.The snake started to swim up the faucet, and then the whole sink started to turn, they kept spinning and sinking, and after a while, there was a pipe in the place where the sink was, wide enough for an adult to slide in.

Hermione clutched her mouth tightly, her eyes wide open at the entrance of the pipe, panting like Neville.Seeing this, Harry went to open the door, "Come in, it's open!"

As soon as Ron and Drake heard that, they immediately poked Lockhart with their wands and walked into the room. When the three of them saw the entrance of the pipe, they all exclaimed without any surprise, but Ron and Drake were delighted, and Lockhart Especially with endless despair.

Neville looked at his friends around him, then at the dark hole, and said firmly, "I want to go down from here." Since they really let them find the entrance of the secret room, no matter how slim the chance of Ginny's survival, he In any case, you have to try it, otherwise, it will be a lifelong regret.

"Me too!" Although the elder brother Ron always complained to Ginny, they all knew that Ron loved Ginny the most.

Harry smiled and raised the wand in his hand, while Draco looked eager to try.

Hermione noticed that the eyes of the four boys were all looking at her, she raised her small chin and glared at them: "Don't block me with saying that I'm a girl, I don't feel at ease if you are the only ones going down." Seeing Neville thought Opening his mouth, he immediately stared at him with raised eyebrows. Neville blinked - shut up.

"Very good!" Hermione waved the wand in her hand, "I think someone should open the way for us, right?" After speaking, she looked at Lockhart who was already in a trance, this coward actually wanted to ignore Ginny's life Escape by yourself, there is no door!

After listening to Hermione's words, Lockhart's little hope was shattered, and he felt that his feet were so weak that he could hardly stand.Standing next to the entrance of the pipe, he looked at the dark hole and begged tremblingly: "...children...I..."

However, no one gave him a chance to speak, and Harry gave him an annoyed push, knowing that they didn't have much time.

"Ah——" Lockhart quickly disappeared at the entrance of the cave, and Harry jumped down without saying a word.He couldn't let Lockhart stay down there by himself, who knew what tricks this man would do.Seeing that Harry's figure was out of sight, Draco squatted down and slid down with his hands.Neville stared helplessly at the entrance of the cave, where no one had been seen for a long time, and jumped into the entrance while muttering. Ron and Hermione shrugged and followed after looking at each other.

The cold air in the pipe suddenly poured into their noses and throats, creating an instant feeling of suffocation.They kept sliding down, listening to the "thump, bang" of the turns.After an unknown amount of time, Harry saw a spot of light appearing in front of him. After adjusting his posture, he slid smoothly onto the wet floor.

"Lumos! (fluorescent flashes)", Harry squinted his eyes and looked around the surroundings. This place is still as it is in memory. The huge space wide enough for people to stand and jump and the wreckage on the ground all give people a cold and depressing feeling. a feeling of.

At this time, there was a rustling sound not far from him. Harry looked towards the source of the sound, and it was Lockhart who was still lying on the ground, and he seemed to be trying to get up from the ground.Harry glanced at him, and was about to step forward to restrain him when he heard a whoosh behind him.Almost immediately, he jumped to the side in a hurry, and in just a split second, Draco landed smoothly on the spot where he was standing before.But this kid was smarter than him, and he dodged to the side as soon as he touched the ground.Sure enough, there was Neville's exclamation and the muffled sound when he landed, which made Harry and Draco grin at the same time.

Neville fell to the ground hard, but before he could get up, he was crushed down by Ron behind him again, "Aw—" the screams erupted in the empty tunnel. There were echoes, "Ah——", "Um..." and with Hermione's screams, the two boys who were still lying in the mud were once again silenced by the weight of their bodies.

Seeing this, Draco hurriedly helped Hermione up, and Harry walked up to Lockhart and pointed his wand at him.

"Fortunately, I was the last one to come down..." Hermione smoothed out her disheveled hair and muttered happily.After the weight on his body disappeared, Ron couldn't wait to get up, and complained repeatedly, "You should lose weight...ah, my waist..." But his complaints quickly disappeared under Hermione's shot Under the sharp gaze, Neville took advantage of the situation and sat up, panting heavily - the two blows just now made him really choked up.

"Lumos! (fluorescent flashes)" Drake also raised his wand at this time, and looked at this special space.

"I think we should be at the bottom of the lake." Touching the wet wall, Hermione said while looking at the place where water dripped into a small depression not far ahead. "Go forward, close your eyes and run away if you hear anything!"

Hearing this, Harry poked Lockhart who had stood up with his wand, signaling him to go ahead, and they followed behind him.The pace of several people was a little hurried. After all, Ginny's situation was really dangerous. Although Lockhart deliberately delayed, the magic wand on his waist forced him to match their speed.Suddenly, at a corner, Draco stopped and quickly stopped them from going any further. "Shh-"

After looking in the direction of his finger, several people who were still a little dazed fell silent at the same time, and Lockhart collapsed on the ground all of a sudden, not daring to move again.In the place not far ahead, the winding arc really cannot but make people imagine.Harry thought for a while, and whispered, "Ron, come and watch him. You wait--" After speaking, he walked forward quietly, and Draco wanted to hold her, but curled his fingers Still withdrew his outstretched hand.

Harry's speed was very fast, and after about 20 seconds of touching, they heard Harry's voice: "Come here, it's moulting."

Draco and the others quickly walked towards Harry. Lockhart was kicked by Ron and quickly got up from the ground to follow.It was a green snakeskin about thirty feet long, indicating that the length of Basilisk was at least thirty feet or more.Looking at this shriveled, empty skin, several people were in a daze—is this the monster they are going to face?

At this moment, Lockhart, whose eyes had been flickering, suddenly rushed to the unprepared Ron, and snatched the wand from his hand.The sudden change caused Ron to fall heavily to the ground, and both Hermione and Neville could only stare at Lockhart pointing at their wands with wide eyes.Draco and Harry quickly raised their wands and pointed at Lockhart at the moment Ron fell, but they couldn't stop Lockhart's crazy actions.

"Goodbye kids, this is the end of the adventure!" Lockhart said excitedly, he finally found a chance to let that damned monster go to meet Merlin, and of course, he brought the group of damned brats with him . "Obliviate!" he roared loudly, but the voice full of desire was drowned out by a loud bang.

The wand raised high above his head exploded with the strong energy emitted by the spell, and the resulting momentum sent Lockhart flying out at once, but this energy also blew up the already fragile underground pipeline. Harry, Draco, and Neville hurried forward with their heads covered, avoiding the boulder that had fallen from above where Lockhart had just stood.Hermione was pulled back by Ron who was lying on the ground, and then narrowly avoided some falling gravel, but Ron was hit hard by a stone because he couldn't dodge. .

When the three of Harry stood firm, they realized that they, Ron, and Hermione were isolated at both ends of the passage by falling stones.

"Ron, Hermione! Are you alright?" Neville hurriedly called to the boulder.After a long while, Hermione's anxious voice faintly came from behind the boulder, "Ron...he passed out, and so did Lockhart..." Her voice was already faintly crying, "What should we do? We can't make it through ..."

Neville looked up at the huge rubble and bit his lip.Draco's hands were trembling too, but he just squeezed the wand tighter, trying not to let Harry and Neville notice his uneasiness.After what seemed like a long time, Neville said, "Hermione...we'll move on now, if we don't come back in an hour..." There was a meaningful silence.

"Harry—Neville—Draco..." Hermione's voice was broken, "I will try to move the stone away and follow...I will...you..."

"Hermione, don't worry! Take care of Ron...we will be back..." Harry finally spoke out, and after he finished speaking, he turned around resolutely and looked at Draco and Draco, who were pale but still revealed firmness. Neville, from their eyes, he read the same will as his own.Taking a deep breath and trying to calm down, the three continued on their way.Now, the real adventure is just beginning...

Gradually, the sound of Hermione moving stones behind her disappeared, and they just kept walking towards this seemingly endless sewer pipe until a solid wall blocked their way.Two intertwined snakes are carved on the wall, and the snake's eyes are huge emeralds emitting a faint light.This time Neville didn't need to be reminded, he swallowed and said in a clear voice, "Open!"

It was the first time Draco heard this "hissing" snake language, but he was not surprised for too long, because the scene before him surprised him even more.Following the sound from Neville's mouth, the two snakes moved, the wall split from it, and the two snakes also separated. They moved regularly on the wall, and then slid away in balance with the two half walls. disappears into the walls of the pipe.

What appeared in front of their eyes was a stone room wider than a Quidditch pitch. There were many doors inside, and each door seemed to lead to a place.The towering stone pillars are entangled with stone pythons, and the dim light makes everything look more mysterious and dangerous.

They walked carefully one stone pillar after another, each step would give off an echo.When they passed the last pair of pillars, a statue as high as the stone chamber came into their eyes. "It's Salazar Slytherin!" Draco, who had seen the leftover portrait of Slytherin, said in surprise. Although he knew that this was Slytherin's secret room, the feeling of seeing it with his own eyes was completely different.

"Ginny!" Neville yelled suddenly, shocked by the Chamber of Secrets too, but now more concerned with the redheaded girl lying at the foot of the statue.Harry and Drake both turned their eyes to the direction where Neville was running. At this time, Neville had already picked up Ginny, who seemed to have no signs of life, and the two hurried over, but they could only see Ginny's pale face was as cold as marble.

Neville patted Ginny's face anxiously, as if this would wake her up, "Ginny...wake up, please! Please..." Harry hurriedly stopped him when he saw this, and Draco He put his hand under Ginny's nose, and said in a sigh of relief, "I'm still alive!"

These words made Neville's heart finally return to its original position, just now Ginny looked as if she had...

"But, she won't wake up again." Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded behind them, so elegant, but Harry felt a vague killing intent.

The pupils shrank sharply, and the three quickly turned their heads to look at the source of the voice, "Riddle!"
