Chapter 89: Waiting

It was almost time for dinner when Darren saw Percy happily returning to the common room, "I found Professor Kettleburn," he said eagerly as soon as he sat down, "I told him our speculation that the monster was a 'basilisk,' and he agreed with us, and went with me to see Professor McGonagall."

"And what did Professor McGonagall say?"

"She said to me, 'You've done a great job, it's going to help us a lot with the problem at hand,'" Percy said excitedly, "and she's going to have a way to deal with that basilisk." ”

"Of course, it is not difficult to know that the monster is a basilisk, the book says that it has many weaknesses, such as the crow of a rooster that is fatal to it, and the question is what Professor McGonagall intends to do. ”

The professor didn't say anything, but she told me it was best not to tell the other students about it. ”

"Scared the other students, isn't she afraid that the basilisk will rush out and kill us?"

"Maybe she's going to go to Professor Dumbledore, Professor Dumbledore is the greatest wizard of all, isn't she?" Harry uttered his speculation.

"Yes, he is the greatest wizard, but that didn't stop Justin and Penelope from turning into 'Stone Men'......" Darren was halfway through his speech, and noticed that Harry was glaring at him, and quickly stopped, forgetting that Harry was Dumbledore's brainless fan.

"Well, anyway, we've done what we can, and now we're waiting for the professors to catch the madman and his basilisk. ”

"yes, let's wait, I think it will be soon!" said Harry confidently.

"Since we know that the gaze of the basilisk can kill, in order to avoid danger, when turning a corner, we should first look in a mirror!"

Leisurely, the warm sunshine once again spread over the earth, spring is coming, in the gentle spring breeze, April, passed......

The sun is radiating heat to the earth more and more violently, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and before you know it, May is about to pass......

As time went on, Darren's discussion gradually changed, at first, they speculated about who the killer was, how the professors would catch the basilisk, and later, they studied how the basilisk killed its target, whether the basilisk would be killed by its own eyes, and in that case, if it was reflected back in the mirror, would it petrify the basilisk!

During this time, Ron suggested that Darren and the others carry the rooster with them so that they could kill the basilisk when they attacked them, "Didn't the book say, 'The rooster's crowing is deadly to it.'" ”

"That's a good idea, but there are two problems, first, after the first attack, when I went to Hagrid's, he told me that all the roosters he had were dead, which means that there are no roosters at Hogwarts at all, and there have been none; The crowing of the rooster is the crowing, you also have chickens at home, you should know that the rooster does not crow at all times, let alone if you face the basilisk directly, it may not have time to crow at all, and it will be killed by the sight of the basilisk immediately. ”

"I'm just a suggestion, if Hogwarts doesn't have a rooster, maybe Professor McGonagall can conjure it up, and I think she'll have a way to make the rooster crow. ”

"Well," Percy said, holding his chin, "it's hard to say, although the book says 'The crowing of a rooster is deadly to a basilisk,' but after all, this book is only an introductory guide, not a professional book, and the book says that no one has seen a basilisk for hundreds of years, so the credibility is also questionable." ”

"Even if it really works, we don't know the specific principle, whether it is the rooster's crowing that plays a role, or whether the rooster has something else that has caused the basilisk to be harmed, and whether the basilisk will die immediately when it hears the sound, or whether it will die gradually, this will have different consequences......"

By now, these questions had been discussed countless times by Darren and the others, and the only thing in the conversation was the chatter and the chatter, which could no longer arouse anyone's interest, let alone study who the suspect was, because, according to Mrs. Sprout, the maturity of the mandrake was approaching.

When the antidote comes out, Justin and Penelope can return to normal and tell everyone who attacked them, but Darren is very suspicious, and they can probably only say about the basilisk, after all, this thing is almost half-intelligent and does not need to be followed by anyone.

For some reason, after Hagrid was taken away, the attack never happened again, which is of course happy, but it also makes it impossible to look for clues about the murderer, and if this continues, I am afraid that Hagrid will follow in Black's footsteps and get a long-term meal ticket for Azkaban, although he has been sent there now, but it will not be long.

Fortunately, Professor Flitwick did not refuse Darren's request for the three of them to "tutor" the spell because of the long period of calm, but as the end of the semester approached, he also had more things to do, and arranged Darren in an empty classroom next to the office, and said that he would come over as soon as there was any movement.

Percy, on the other hand, spent as much time with Darren as he could every day, except for attending classes and going to the medical wing, so that Darren rarely saw Ron.

Although I don't know why the murderer stopped committing the crime, Darren doesn't quite believe that Hagrid is really the "heir", why? Coincidentally, the diary happened to be found by Hagrid, and then the Ministry of Magic took Hagrid away with a crooked beating, in that case, how aggrieved Riddle in the diary is.

But there is no clue, Darren is not a parseltongue, there is no way to open the secret room, he can't talk to himself to tear down the walls of Hogwarts, find the pipe for the basilisk to pass through, not to mention that he doesn't know where the pipe is, even if he asks him to dismantle, can it be dismantled, this castle is full of protective magic, even Peter's big explosion only shattered the furniture and decoration, did not shake the foundation of the castle, it is magic that can blow up half a street! Darren felt that he was afraid that there was still a big gap between him and Peter.

It's just that it's not a matter of waiting, Darren feels that he has to find a way to force the "heir" out, after all, he has to study at Hogwarts for at least four years, "only a thousand days to be a thief, no thousand days to prevent thieves", if he doesn't find out this guy, Darren feels that he may not be able to sleep well in the next four years.

However, just as the mandrake was about to ripen and the mystery was about to be revealed, an incident occurred that caused Darren and the others to forget about the basilisk for the first time in weeks.
