Chapter Seventy-One: The Rescue Plan

Loki and Augustus walked through the school hallway to the teacher's lounge, where Harry and Ron were anxiously patrolling around a teacher's closet before they found Augustus.

"Time is running out, the teachers are coming soon, do you bring the Cloak of Invisibility?" Augustus asked, looking at Harry.

"It happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to pick it up." Harry was a little surprised.

"Then you two stand here!" Augustus drew his silver wand, and a group was released invisibly, and a light blue curtain wrapped the space with Augustus as the center and a radius of ten meters, and the four of them gradually disappeared into the air.

They stood in a corner, observing the situation in the room, the door of the staff lounge was pushed open, and one by one the teachers walked into the room, some bewildered, some frightened. Professor McGonagall arrived.

"Something happened again," she said to the silent teachers in the room, "a student has been kidnapped by a monster." Brought directly into the secret room. ”

Professor Flitwick let out a scream. Professor Sprout jerked his hands over his mouth. Snape gripped the back of a chair and asked, "How can you be sure?"

"The heir of Slytherin," said Professor McGonagall with a very pale face, "left another line of writing. Just below the last text, it reads: Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever. ”

Professor Flitwick couldn't help but cry.

"Who is it?" Mrs. Hooch slumped into a chair with her knees limp. "Which student is it?"

"Ginny Weasley." Professor McGonagall said.

Augustus felt Ron fall to the ground, and Loki looked at Ron with some pity, it was a pity that Ron's sister was in such a precarious situation.

Augustus looked at the teachers in the room with frowns, his face was solemn, he had reached this stage, there was actually another attack, and this time it was different from the past, it was the victim who was taken directly to the secret room, is this heir doing the last fight before death? Or is it so vicious that he wants to bring a person to accompany the burial, and in any case, it seems that it is necessary to go to the secret room in person.

The door to the faculty lounge was slammed open again. On a whim, Harry thought it must be Dumbledore back. It turned out to be Lockhart, who was still smiling on his face.

"I'm sorry - took a nap - what did I miss?"

He didn't seem to notice that the other teachers were staring at him with what could be described as hateful gazes. Snape took a step forward.

"The person who solved the problem came," he said, "and this is the man." Lockhart, a girl who has been captured by a monster. Taken into the secret room. The time has finally come for you to show off your brilliance. ”

Lockhart's face turned pale.

"Yes, Gildero," interjected Professor Sprout, "didn't you say last night that you knew exactly where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was?"

"I-this, this, I-" Loha stammered.

"Didn't you tell me that you know for sure what the monster in the Dao is?" Professor Flitwick also chimed in.

Augustus looked at Lockhart, who was so anxious, and smiled faintly, it seems that the time for retribution has come, this Lockhart is so sure that Hagrid is the murderer on weekdays, and now that his retribution is coming, these teachers will definitely not let him go.

"Let's go, let's go out and discuss it first." Augustus gestured to the three, and the four quietly walked out of the teacher's lounge.

In the hallway, the four slowly emerged, and Ron followed the others with his head downcast, and Harry kept comforting Ron, but apparently to no avail.

"Now that Ginny has been brought into the Chamber of Secrets, our first thing to do now. It is to find the entrance to the secret room, go in directly, maybe there is a glimmer of hope to save her, if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that Ginny will really be buried in the secret room, but the entrance to the secret room is a matter worth exploring, and now it is necessary to find the entrance to the secret room as soon as possible. Augustus said lightly in a calm tone.

"If it's the entrance to the secret room, then Harry and I should have figured it out." After listening to Augustus's analysis, a glimmer of hope flashed in Ron's eyes, since Augustus is all around, then he can directly enter the secret room, find the heir and the basilisk, and rescue Ginny, you must know that Augustus can compete with that person's existence, he believes that even if the basilisk and the inheritor are strong, they will not be Augustus's opponents.

"yes, we guess the entrance to the chamber is supposed to be in the weeping myrtle's bathroom." Harry said affirmatively, "That basilisk must have been moving in the pipe, so I could only hear Lady Lori before she was petrified, and the case that happened decades ago made us guess that the entrance to the secret room was probably at Myrtle's." Harry pushed his eyes and continued.

"Now that we know the entrance to the secret room, let's hurry out and rescue Ginny before the heir can do it." Loki nodded, resolutely.

"Well, it's not too late, let's go now, the sooner the rescue, the better, hurry up, every minute and second can't be wasted now!" Augustus made up his mind, and the four of them began to march towards the myrtle bathroom.

They descended the nearest staircase, through the dimly lit hallway where the words flashed on the wall, to the door of the weeping Myrtle's bathroom. Harry was delighted to see him tremble. The crying myrtle is sitting in the tank of one of the innermost toilets. "Oh, it's you," she said, her eyes lit up at the sight of Augustus, and then at the three men who followed him, with puzzled expressions in their eyes. ”

Augustus touched his chin, "We want to ask you a question?" "What's the problem." Myrtle looked at Augustus with some surprise, "What strange things happened to you before you died?" Augustus' silver pupils flickered. Myrtle's whole demeanor changed all at once. It seemed that no one had ever asked her such a question that honored her.

"Before I died, I heard a boy outside speaking in a strange language, so I opened the door, told him to go away, went to his boys' bathroom, andβ€”" Myrtle, thinking herself remarkably, puffed out her chest and her face radiant, "and I died." ”

"Before I died, I saw a pair of frighteningly large yellow eyes. It was as if my whole body had been caught, and then I floated away," she said, looking at Augustus in a trance.

Hearing this, Augustus grasped the point, and asked directly, "Where did you find those eyes?" ”

"Pretty much right there." Myrtle said, gesturing vaguely to the pool in front of her. Loki hurried forward, the pool looked normal. They checked it inside and out, up and down, and didn't let go of the water pipes underneath. Then Harry saw a small snake carved into the side of a bronze dragon's head.

"Harry, you say a few words in a parseltongue. against this faucet. Loki glanced at the little snake a few times and said to Harry.

"Open." He said that what came out of his mouth was a strange hissing sound. Suddenly, the dragon's head emitted a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly. Then the pool moved. They watched as the pool slowly faded from view, revealing a very thick pipe that could fit a person in.

"It seems that the entrance to the secret room is here, let's go, I hope the owner of the secret room has a habit of hospitality, otherwise we will be bothered." Augustus smiled and walked in first, followed by Loki, followed by Harry and Ron, and the four of them were greeted by the endless darkness ahead.
