Silver spread out the notebook he had received from Harry on the table and looked closely, and it didn't look out of the ordinary - the tattered black cover was opened, and the first page had a name written in blurred ink: Tom Riddle. Other than that, there was no handwriting left in the notebook, and every page was blank.
"Be careful, this notebook has an evil aura. Doris reminded.
"I know that this notebook is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Silver said, "The soul in this Horcrux has absorbed enough energy that it is trying to tempt me. β
"Now that you know, why do you put this Horcrux here? Don't overestimate your willpower, few wizards can really resist the influence of Horcruxes, not to mention, the soul in this Horcrux is not an ordinary soul. β
"Because this notebook is very useful, whether or not you can open the secret room, you have to count on it. Silver smiled and said, "You're right, if I keep it around every day, I'll be affected a little bit." Silver pulled out his wand and said, "However, I'm only going to take a little bit from this Horcrux and put it back in its original place." Doris, I need your help. β
"Well, let me declare in advance, I'm not very proficient in soul level stuff either-"
Headmaster's Office at Hogwarts.
"Professor Flitwick, what is the matter with you bringing Jack Silver to me?" Dumbledore said tiredly, "If it's not a big deal, let's talk about it later." Lucius is in big trouble for meβ"
"Professor Dumbledore, I asked Professor Flitwick to bring me here to tell you that I have identified the perpetrators of the three attacks, and I believe this news will help you. Silver replied calmly.
"Oh, please. Dumbledore looked a little surprised.
"Let's recall what the three attacks have in common. First, the victims were petrified, but they did not die. Second, Harry Potter was near the scene of the crime. β
"Jack, you don't want to say that Harry is the murderer. Professor Flitwick said.
"Of course not, I would say that every time Harry was near the scene of the murder, he heard strange noises, and the people who were with him said they couldn't. What is the sound that Harry can hear but others can't?Last time in the Dueling Club, Harry showed his Parseltongue ability - this problem was solved. The voice was snake language, so Harry could hear it and others couldn't, indicating that the killer was a snake. The legend of the Chamber of Secrets has a long history, even dating back to the founding of Hogwarts, and this snake must have lived a very long life, at least nearly a thousand years. And the only creature with a long life span that can cause this kind of petrification is the basilisk. β
"Basilisk?" Dumbledore took a breath, "Hagrid told me that the school roosters were killed. β
"The basilisk is huge, how does it roam the school and attack people?" Professor Flitwick asked.
"I think it must have been moving through the pipes in the school, Harry had said, and the sound was coming from the walls. Silver replied.
"The basilisk can kill people with its gaze, and anyone who looks at the basilisk dies. But none of the three attacks killed β because none of them looked directly at it. Colin is seen by a camera guΓ². Justin must have seen the basilisk through Nick, who was almost headless. Nick was staring at the basilisk, but he couldn't die a second time. Madame Loris is supposed to see the reflection of the basilisk in the water that came out of the washroom. β
"A basilisk that has lived for nearly a thousand years, this monster is completely out of the realm of the average wizard, so I think it would be better to let Professor Dumbledore solve this matter. Silver ended his remarks.
"Thank you very much, Jack, for the information that could save poor Hagrid from prison and Lucius's plan to be in vain. Dumbledore said with a smile.
Professor Flitwick looked surprised, "Hagrid, is it possible that the Ministry of Magic suspects that Hagrid did it?" "That's right, Fudge just sent me a letter saying that he had to let Hagrid stay in Azkaban for a while. Lucius also took the opportunity to intimidate several Hogwarts trustees and get the school board to pressure me to resign. β
"Noβ"
"It's all right, Professor Flitwick, with the information Mr. Silver provides, these things won't go their way. Dumbledore's tone suddenly became stern. "A thousand-year-old basilisk, Fawkes, prepare for nirvana as soon as possible, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on your power this time. Dumbledore looked at the ugly bird behind the door perched on a tall gilded perch. The ugly bird chirped weakly in response, but the action caused a few feathers to fall off its half-bald tail, which looked very funny. All three couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, in a boys' dormitory in Gryffindor, a black boy suddenly sat up from the bed, sweating profusely and trembling profusely. A red boy walked in outside the door, "What's wrong?" Harry. β
"I see, thanks to the notebook that Jack sent back today - it's Hagrid, Ron. Fifty years ago, it was Hagrid who opened the Chamber of Secrets. β

BasILIsk (Basilisk)
Magic Part Class Level: xxxxx
The first recorded basilisk was bred by "Hellbo the Mean", a Greek dark wizard with a Parseltongue accent. After many realizations, this person would hatch a small male egg (a seven-year-old rooster laid by a Sirius in the sky) under the body of a toad, and a dangerous serpent with mortal abilities would hatch.
The basilisk is a large snake with a dazzling green body, which can reach up to fifty feet in length. The male snake has a bright red feather on its head. Its fangs are unusually poisonous, but its most dangerous attack is to stare at its target with its large yellow eyes. Anyone whose gaze touches its gaze will be killed instantly.
If the food is plentiful (the basilisk will eat all mammals, birds, and many species of reptiles), this snake will have a very long lifespan. It is believed that the basilisk of "Hellbo the Mean" lived to be almost nine hundred years old.
Since the Middle Ages, the creation of a ziΓ o basilisk has been considered illegal, but it is easy to conceal because it is enough to remove the egg from under the toad's body before the arrival of the magical creature controller. However, basilisks are helpless to be controlled by Parseltongue, so they are dangerous not only to others, but also to most dark wizards. In Britain, there have been no records of basilisk sightings for at least four hundred years.
There is a claim that the crowing of a rooster kills a basilisk, but this is not true. The rooster's crowing causes the basilisk to completely spiral out of control and into a state of confusion in which the basilisk attacks a qiΔ object, including itself. As for why this is the case, the people of insight in the Magical Creatures Management Control Division are still studying further.
