"Sorry - took a nap - what did I miss?"

Lockhart walked in with a smile, all the teachers stared at him with what could be called hatred, Snape took a step forward and said viciously, "The problem solver is here, Lockhart, there is a student Brought into the secret room, the time for you to show off your brilliance has finally come." All the old teachers began to hate Lockhart, and Lockhart stammered in his defense.

"So, Gildero, we'll let you deal with it. Tonight is your chance to show your talents. We promise that no one will get in your way. You can deal with the monsters alone. Now let you do it. It's gone." McGonagall said, and Lockhart looked around in despair, his voice was weak, "Then—well, I—I'll go to the office and get ready." He left the room with that.

"Now the deans of the colleges are notifying the students what happened, telling them that the Hogwarts Express train will send them home tomorrow morning, and other teachers must make sure that no student is left outside the dormitory." McGonagall said. After leaving, the other teachers also left the room one by one.

This was probably the most difficult day in Harry's life. It seemed that the days when he was not given food at the Dursleys' house, did housework in shabby clothes, and was beaten by Dudley were even more difficult.

He was huddled in a corner of the Gryffindor lounge, Ron by his side.

How could it be Annie?Isn't she from Slytherin?And she is a mixed race, how could she be the heir's target?

The sun was red as blood, sinking below the horizon, and Gryffindor Tower had never been so crowded, and they chattered away, and Harry found them annoying.

Why was she brought into the secret room instead of the previous students, and why was it his sister, his only family member, who had the accident?

Harry held his head in pain, thinking darkly.

Hogwarts can be closed if it wants to. As long as Anne can come back safely, they can find a place to live outside by themselves, regardless of the Dursley family's face.But Aunt Petunia liked Annie and would definitely keep her, and he could stay at the Dursleys to help out, as long as the two of them stayed together.

As long as... Annie is safe and sound.

"She must know something, Harry, didn't she come to you this morning to tell you something? She must have known who the heir was, but the heir found out she told someone else and took her away—I mean, she was Half-blood and Slytherin again, there's no reason it should be her turn," said Ron.

Harry didn't know what to say, he murmured, "Maybe..." His thoughts were still on the Dursleys.

"We have to do something, Harry, isn't Lockhart going to the Chamber of Secrets? Let's go and tell him everything we know."

Harry nodded vigorously, his whole body fell into a huge panic, he didn't know what to do next, his thoughts were confused, "Yes, let's go now!" He dragged Ron up and walked across the room, Although Gryffindor and Slytherin had been at loggerheads, Anne was Harry's sister, and her life and death were now uncertain, and no one tried to stop them when they emerged from the portrait hole.

By the time they went downstairs to Lockhart's office, night had already fallen, and when they ran around the corner, they bumped into someone hard, "Oops!" Several screams sounded, Harry struggled to get up, and found Opposite were Draco, Blaise and Pansy.

They were dumbfounded, but they didn't say anything outrageous. The five of them faced each other in silence. Harry said, "Come out to find Anne?" Laco said nervously, "The few of us ran out without telling Professor Snape, Potter, do you have any idea, do you know where the Chamber of Secrets is?"

"I know the exact location. Lockhart seems to be going to the Chamber of Secrets. We can find him. The monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk... Come with me, hurry up!" Harry said softly, and the four followed Harry and quickly ran towards Lockhart. Hart's office.

"It's the first time I've seen Slytherin so brave," Ron muttered.

Lockhart's office was almost completely emptied. Two large suitcases were left open on the floor. The five students were stunned. Harry said, "Where are you going?" Lockhart hesitated, Tore off a poster of himself, Draco said angrily, "Potter! Can't you see that he is going to run away?!"

"You're the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, you can't leave now! There's something evil in the castle!" Ron yelled, and Lockhart mumbled, "When I accepted the job...the work regulations didn't Didn't include... I didn't expect..."

"Are you going to run away? You've written so many amazing things in your books?" Harry couldn't believe it. "Books can be deceiving." Lockhart said slyly, and Pansy said sharply, "What's in your books?" The content is all experienced by others, you stole their memories!"

"To be precise, I didn't steal their memories," Lockhart said impatiently. "I also have a lot of work. I want to follow up and investigate these people and ask them how they did this. Then I And give them an Oblivion Charm so they'll forget about it, and of course I'm most proud of my Oblivion Charm."

"Let me think about it, sorry, children. I have to give you an oblivion curse, and I can't let you spread my secrets everywhere, otherwise my book will never be sold..." Lockhart raised his hand Wand, Harry bellowed, "Disarms you!"

Ron caught Lockhart's wand and threw it out of the window. Blaise snorted coldly, "Should you be grateful that Professor Snape taught you that spell, Potter?" Lockhart raised his hands in a weak voice Said in a tone of voice, "What do you want me to do?"

They pushed Lockhart out of his office, and Harry led them to the door of Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Draco and Blaise were a little embarrassed, "The girls' bathroom, Potter, are you right?"

"It's here." Harry walked into the bathroom and started chatting with Myrtle. Myrtle pointed to the sink vaguely. Draco and Blaise pointed their wands at Lockhart. Harry, Ron and Pansy checked the sink in and out, up and down, and Harry noticed a tiny snake carved into the side of a brass dragon head, "Harry, I think you can say something in Parseltongue. a few words."

Harry forced himself to believe that the snake was alive, and Pansy flinched when a strange hiss came from his mouth.The faucet emitted a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly. The pool disappeared, revealing a large water pipe. Looking down, it was bottomless.

"I'm going down, Annie is probably still alive." Harry said, "I'm going too." The rest of them said in unison, except Lockhart.He smiled, "Well, there are so many of you, it seems that I don't need—"

Draco kicked him off, "Nice job," Harry said, and Draco ignored him, turning to Pansy and saying, "I thought, Pansy, would you like to stay up there if we If you can't beat the basilisk, you can go to the professor for help."

Pansy said decisively, "I'll go down with you." Blaise stopped her, "In this way, we will all be passive, and our eggs cannot be put in the same basket. If the basilisk is very powerful, we will not be able to escape. "

"Brace, you stay with her, I'll go down." Draco said, and he pushed Harry, "Hurry up, Anne can't wait long."

Harry got into the pipe, let go and let himself slide down. You can see that there are many pipes branching out in all directions in this slideway. Harry knows that he has slipped deep under the ground of the school.He fell on the wet ground, a dark stone tunnel, and Lockhart got up dirty, and Ron and Draco emerged from the pipe.

"Malfoy, you almost crushed me to death!" Ron said angrily, and Draco rolled his eyes, "You deserve it!"

They pushed Lockhart forward, wand lights shining on the ground, and here and there were the bones of small animals. After walking for a while they saw the silhouette of a huge coiled creature ahead, lying motionless on the other side of the tunnel.

They stood there dumbfounded, their hearts beating fast, Harry moved slowly, and the light shone on a huge snakeskin, green and vivid, at least twenty feet long by visual inspection.

Lockhart knocked Ron down with a thump, "Game over! I'll go back with the snakeskin and tell them I'm late, and you're sadly insane at the sight of her mangled body - to you Farewell to your memory!" Lockhart snatched Ron's wand and yelled, "Forget it all!" But Draco was quicker than him, and he took Harry's wand and held it forward with both hands.

"Bouncing back!" Draco yelled, and the two wands blazed violently and the Forgetting Charm collided, and the spells collided and exploded, bouncing them all away, and suddenly large chunks fell from the tunnel ceiling gravel.

Harry and Draco were stopped in front of a thick rubble wall. "Ron!" Harry yelled, "Are you alright!"

"I'm fine!" came Ron's dull voice. "This bastard is out of luck. He seems to have been hit by his own Oblivion Curse. What about Harry? I can't make it through..."

"Then you wait here, wait with Lockhart, and I'll keep going, and if I don't come back within an hour—" Harry yelled, and Draco was a bit disgruntled, "Hey, Aren't you the only one going?"

"I'll see if I can get this rock out of the way so you can get back—" said Ron, with a tremor in his voice.

Harry and Draco walked forward slowly, and the tunnel turned one turn after another. In order not to make himself too nervous, Harry forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to be so brave, Malfoy." Draco said , "If it was before, maybe not."

"Actually, your father came the night Dumbledore left," said Harry.

"I know," Draco said in a low voice, "Although I hate Dumbledore, I don't want him to leave when the castle is most dangerous, Potter, you don't know how good Anne is, she is from Slytherin pride."

Harry stepped over a big hurdle cautiously, "I know, Anne is talented in magic, smart and eager to learn, and has a good personality. I can't compare to her." Draco pointed his wand at the road ahead, "She is a very talented person. A person with leadership potential, what she said can always easily arouse everyone's enthusiasm, she is a very attractive girl, she taught me how to think independently."

"My father, although he spoils me, he also strictly controls me in some aspects, and Annie and Anne have become friends who trust each other. This is the first time I have rebelled against my father." Draco frowned, "I think If I die in the secret room, maybe he won't stop me anymore."

"Resist your father? Does he not let you associate with Annie?"

"Is it hard to guess, Potter, to be honest, I really hate you and Granger, but Anne is your sister, and Granger is her good friend. You and Wei Walking together, Sly is simply bringing together all the people I hate. My father will never allow me to be friends with Weasley and Granger, otherwise I will definitely be expelled Out of the Malfoy family."

"That's really wronging you." Harry said, and Draco snorted coldly, "Actually, I hate you too, every day you put on an arrogant and rude look, as if someone stuffed you under your nose." Like a booger-flavored savory bean, you bully those who are weaker than you all day long. If Annie didn't always tell me that you are not a bad person, I would definitely use different words to call you every day."

"Then you are really magnanimous, Scarhead." Draco laughed angrily, "Each to each other." Harry snorted.

"By the way, where did you get the Polyjuice Potion? You stole Professor Snape's potion ingredients?"

"...It's up to you, Hermione made the potion."

"Oh."

The tense atmosphere on the way to the secret room eased a little. They hoped to find the end of the tunnel quickly, but at the same time they were afraid that the tunnel would really end. Finally, they turned a corner carefully and found a solid wall standing in front of them. The wall was carved with two intertwined snakes with large sparkling emeralds in their eyes.

"It's here, isn't it?" Draco said softly, and Harry hesitated for a moment, "Draco, don't go in yet, you go in after I tell you, you hide in this place first."

Draco frowned, "No, it's easy to be caught alone, it's better to be two together."

"Listen to me first. I think this tunnel is far away from Ron. If something happens, you can still run back in time to ask for help. The premise of saving Annie is to protect your own life." Harry said seriously , "I'm going to open the door."

"Open," Harry said in a low, hoarse hiss, and Draco took two steps back.The stone wall split open in the middle, slowly slid out of the sides and disappeared, and Harry walked in, trembling all over.

There was a long aisle in front of him. On both sides of the aisle were snake sculptures carved out of stone, stretching out long snake letters, looking fiercely at Harry in the middle of the aisle.Harry walked along the corridor, and many stone pillars carved with coiled snakes soared to support the invisible ceiling.

Harry's heart was beating wildly, there was a chilling silence in the room, where was the basilisk?Where is Anne again?The most important thing now is to find Anne.

He drew his wand and walked slowly forward. Every step he took, there was a hollow and loud echo in the huge room. The statue clings to the dark wall behind.

It was an old face, with a sparse beard that dragged down to the hem of the wizard's robe. Two big feet stood on the smooth floor of the room. In front of those two feet lay a small figure in a black robe with red hair. Dazzling, like a flame.

Harry didn't care if there was a basilisk lurking beside her, so he rushed to her side and knelt down, "Annie! Wake up! Please, don't die! I'm here, I'm here to save you!" Annie's face There is no blood, her body is not stiff, and her eyes are closed, it seems that she is not petrified, but...

Harry tried to lift her up and carry her on top of him, but Annie's body was limp, her head drooping lifelessly. "Annie, my brother is here, please, don't leave me behind! I'll take you to Madam Pomfrey, McGonagall, and Snape!"

"She won't wake up," said a voice softly.

Harry's body shook, and he turned around. A tall, handsome boy with black hair was leaning on the nearest stone pillar and watching him. Dim light.

Harry recognized him.

"Tom—Tom ​​Riddle?"
