Chapter 115: A Little Benefit?
After listening to Hermione's words, Vio took a serious look at the statue of Salecha when he was young in front of him, and did not immediately refute that in general, it is normal for what she sees to be different from what others see, and there is always some special reason in it.

She looked in the direction Hermione was pointing, and saw no mirrors, only a life-size statue of a lady beside Salecha.
The statue has very beautiful big eyes, a delicate and straight nose, and a plump body that the boys admire.
Although there was no nameplate or anything else that could identify the statue, like Hermione, Vio subconsciously knew that it was Danae.
The statue depicts Danae playing with a snake wrapped around her right arm, and the statue's lips are slightly open and closed, in the shape of a smile, indicating that the person who made the statue is full of love for Danae.
However, if you look closely, you can see that the statue has been finely altered: the statue's left arm holds a mirror, which is a Horcrux with a soul like Danae, and although the outer frame is wrapped with a layer of stone material that closely resembles the texture of the statue, some traces can still be found.
But to the average person, it looked like Danae was looking in the mirror, and the basilisk interrupted her and mischievously jumped on her arm to distract her.
"What about the basilisk?" said many students aloud with their wands to ask them if they hadn't seen any administrators other than ghosts, and were disappointed that they hadn't seen the basilisk as they had hoped.
Around the same time, there was a slight sizzling sound, and Harry whispered to him, "Speak to me, the greatest of the Slytherin Hogwarts Four." ”
The huge stone face of the Slytherin statue moved, and Vio watched as it opened the hand that was raised to his lips in a coughing gesture, and it went from curling up to open, and the palm of the hand was sunken into a black hollow, which grew larger and louder, and the sound of activity inside grew louder and louder
A giant serpent came out of the hollow, its head suddenly lifted high, reaching high into the ceiling, and in order to completely get its body out of the palm of the Slytherin statue, the basilisk had to glide along the huge ceiling.
There was silence for a moment, and then the howl of ghosts and wolves sounded, and the students who saw the basilisk for the first time cried and ran in all directions, and the four of them couldn't help but giggle as they looked at them. The scene was chaotic for a while, like a lot of little piglets were having fun, enjoying their last exercise time before being eaten.
There was no one to stop them, and there was no need to worry about any more students disappearing or being eaten by the basilisk by mistake, and Dumbledore had already made a series of protective spells and set up a compound magic formation for the secret room.
In other words, in this secret room, as long as it is cleared with a gentle sound, the visitor will immediately return to the door of the secret room;
"It's all a bunch of cowards," Ron pretended to raise his arms in celebration, "and now I don't have to huddle with a lot of people to see the secret room." ”
"It's only the first time they've seen a basilisk, and we reacted as violently as this one a while ago," Hermione said fairly.
Harry and Ron pretended not to hear what she was saying, and vigorously described to Vio how they had been "playing hide and seek" with the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets that day, as if the basilisk and they were good friends.
But when the basilisk poked his head out of the ceiling and showed them his thick wall-like belly, they couldn't help but take a few steps back in fear, and Vio heard Ron swallow his saliva unconsciously.
The basilisk eventually stopped next to the statue of Danae, coiling its body next to it, like another statue growing on its own. Its eyes are tightly closed, and after it is blind, there is no difference between opening and closing its eyes, and it has a more superior sense of smell, which is enough to discern directions.
Harry and Ron cautiously covered their eyes and reminded Vio and Hermione to do the same, only to hear a loud laugh in the mirror.
"Haha, it's all a bunch of cowards. "It's Dana's voice.
Hermione and Vio laughed, and Ron immediately straightened his back and looked at Harry in disbelief, "It's scary to believe you've stepped back to the back"
Harry opened his mouth to refute, only to find that he was indeed standing at the end of the four.
Moreover, the closest student behind him was outside the door.
After the basilisk stopped, no student dared to step forward, and they gathered at the door of the secret room, looking at the four people standing next to the basilisk mouth with envy and fear.
He angrily punched Ron in the shoulder.
Vio thought it was better, and she didn't want her conversation with Danae to be heard by anyone who didn't have to.
"Long time no see, little girl. Danae laughed for a moment, then asked calmly, "Are you okay?"
Vio didn't know what kind of attitude he had towards Danae, but he had helped Riddle do a lot of things, and he almost teamed up with Riddle to strangle Vio's soul in his dreams, but she could also understand why the other party would help him to abuse: the other half of Danae's soul used to stay in the secret room, and was later discovered by Riddle and helped him make a Horcrux, and now he hides it.
Because of this, Danae had no choice but to obey the orders of those who threatened her.
"Luckily, as you can see, neither the basilisk nor Riddle were able to kill me. VIO said half-jokingly, half-grumbling.
"For this matter," Danae said slowly, his tone revealing infinite remorse, "I can only say that I am very sorry, and I am sorry to thank you for helping me and Basriskk regardless of your past suspicions"
"Excuse me, Basrisk?" Ron interrupted Danae in surprise, "don't tell me the name of the basilisk. ”
Danae cleared her throat, as if offended, and after a moment she continued, "Yes, it's my playmate's name. ”
"By the way, Danae, why is it that the statue of Salecha I see is a young man, and Hermione is an old man?" asked Vio, duly asked.
Harry and Ron immediately said, "We saw an elderly man too!"
Hearing this, Vio thought that it was his identity as a traverser that would lead to this result. She hadn't expected Danae to answer her question, but soon Danae said with a hint of pleasure, "Of course, my brother has left an identification charm on the statue, and only real Slytherin students selected by the Sorting Hat can see how energetic he was when he was younger. The rest of the people, even your current headmaster, can only see the appearance of an old man. ”
They wanted to continue asking, but there was a commotion from the giant snake pillar behind them, and the army of students who had been hovering at the door before and did not dare to come in finally came in.
They hesitated for a long time, and in the end, everyone unanimously elected a few Slytherin students in the team, and encouraged them to strike, "This is the inheritance of your house, should it not recognize you at all, and will still eat it mercilessly, right?"
"Don't talk empty words, how about it, we dare to go in and explore the way, how about ten gold gallons for each of you?" Xiao Luo crossed his waist and said with a big grin, this kind of thing, he is the best.
"Superior wisdom is the greatest treasure," said a girl with light yellow hair in a dreamy singing voice, and Xiao Luo immediately said, "No, Luna you can follow me for free"
After a while, the students came in after Bailey, Theodore, and Xiao Luo.
The four of them then officially said goodbye to Danae and the basilisk for private conversation. (To be continued.) )
