The attack on Filch still had a big impact.

For days on end, the students didn't talk about anything else, but talked about the attacks he had been subjected to.

But everyone is still more in a schadenfreude mentality.

Nobody likes Filch!

Filch's performance also made everyone forget this incident for a moment, and he seemed to have been hit very badly, holding a broom like a walking corpse all day long, cleaning the castle machinery.

He was still muttering, "Harry Potter." ”

Many of the students see Harry as the hero who defeated Filch.

Mrs. Loris behaved most strangely, she was completely afraid to go near Filch, and every night she ran to sleep on Bobotea's cat climbing frame.

So, William prepared a nest for Mrs. Loris, and served her with good food and drink all day long.

It would be better if Mrs. Loris could give birth to a kitten here, so that she would not be aware of it and not be noticed by Filch.

Although Dumbledore had always said that the Chamber of Secrets was not important, William wanted to look it out and see what he found.

In fact, he already had a secret room target, and it was not too difficult to find it.

Like what...... A certain secret passage!

There are many secret passages at Hogwarts.

Some winding paths are secluded, and dense forests are heavily obscured; Some are hidden deep in the valley, with gurgling water outside.

Each passage is deep or shallow, large or tight, and the posture in which it enters is also different.

For example, in the corridor on the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle, there is a portrait of the arithmetic soothsayer Winlock.

Behind the portrait there is a secret passage to the portrait room, which is filled with Hogwarts frames with the password "Snafflejack".

William had been there many times to discuss potions and charms with several of the headmasters, and he had benefited greatly.

There are currently seven known secret passages to Hogsmeade.

When they were in first grade, the twins often walked the secret passage behind the mirror on the fifth floor.

But later, William and the others found the skin of a giant snake withdrawing inside, and the men never walked there again.

Dumbledore guessed that the basilisk was a monster from the Chamber of Secrets, and the Basilisk had shed its skin here, so this secret passage must have an entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.

Coming to this secret passage again, William still felt that this was not so much a secret passage as a Hogwarts dungeon.

It's really like a dungeon, with a main road lined with countless small rooms and walkways.

Soon, they arrived at the building directly below the rotunda.

By the light, they could see the sturdy form of the forty Doric columns on top of the upper marble floor.

The buildings in this underground palace have no traces of the passage of time, and the reliefs are lifelike, and the colonnades are carved with intricate ancient runi scripts.

When he first arrived, William was a first-grader, but now he can read the words on buildings.

"What did you say above?" Cedric asked.

He had also learned ancient magic scripts, but he was still limited to knowing the vocabulary, and he couldn't understand the meaning of them.

"The pillars are carved with magic to protect the building from destruction."

William did not get any information about the specific purpose of the building.

However, in the era of the Big Four, this must have been a very important secret meeting place.

It seems that the Big Four are also doing education work on the surface, and are engaged in pyramid schemes behind the scenes.

The four of them walked towards the front and saw a lake deep underground.

There is a small island in the middle of the lake,

There are pyramids on the island.

The pyramid was about two stories high and was made of granite. Under the illumination of the floor lamp, the four edges are revealed to be polished and beautiful.

The magic around it ensures that no one can enter the middle of the lake.

Unable to get closer, they didn't stay too long and walked towards the place where the basilisk skin had been found.

"This is it."

They came to a passage with the bones of various small animals, where it was clear that the basilisk had once eaten.

The four of them continued on their way, seeing the silhouette of a coiled behemoth.

It was a huge snakeskin, pale in color, and it looked like it had faded for a long time.

"There's not going to be a basilisk in the secret room, is there?" Fred said worriedly.

If they find the secret room and find out that there's another one inside, they'll burp if they don't know.

"Probably not, in terms of food, Hogwarts can only feed one basilisk." William analyzed.

Don't you see that this basilisk eats food like small mice?

How can a mouse stuff his teeth, if there were two basilisks, they would have pinched it a long time ago.

This also shows from the side that the basilisk will indeed not take the initiative to attack the wizard, otherwise it would have already spoken out of so many delicious snacks in the school.

"But you still have to be on guard." George said, pulling a rooster out of the ring.

The crowing of a rooster is fatal to a basilisk.

"Where's the chicken?" William asked curiously.

"Hagrid raised it, I stole it all." George said excitedly. "You see this chicken is big and fat, we can eat chicken in it after we find the secret room."

William nodded, he still has a lot of condiments on him, and he can indeed have a small barbecue.

The four of them walked along the corridor, and Cedric couldn't help but ask curiously:

"William, I've looked it up in the library books, and if you want to get a basilisk, you need to put an egg under the body of a toad and hatch it.

Since the method is so simple, there should be a lot of basilisks, but why does Mr. Scamander's book say that there have been no basilisks in England for hundreds of years? ”

The twins also looked at William.

William pondered for a moment and explained, "Not all eggs can hatch into a basilisk, they must be male eggs. ”

"Does the rooster have eggs?" Fred asked curiously.

"Of course the rooster has eggs." William said, "That egg is not an egg in the conventional sense, but a mixture of rooster's ** and feces." ”

"This mixture, after seven years of gestation, becomes as big as an egg. Because of the presence of such a false egg in the stomach, the rooster stopped eating and kept digging the grass in the hen's nest and could not be quiet.

Then, avoiding its ears and eyes, it stealthily lays eggs on Sirius' brightest nights.

The eggs that are laid are male eggs, also known as magic eggs. ”

This section of the method of making a basilisk was seen by William in a book in the forbidden area of the library.

There is so much magic that many books are written in a passing spell and don't tell you how to make a spell or a magical item.

But in the forbidden area of the Hogwarts Library, you can always find the answer you want.

Of course, there are times when you fail.

William had seen an entry on Horcruxes in Tywin's book "Esoteric Philosophy in Three Volumes".

He searched the library exclusion zone several times, but found no information on how to make Horcruxes.

There is only a slight mention of it in the preface to The Most Poisonous Magic: "The Horcrux, the most evil of magical inventions, is not discussed here, and is not instructed." ”

What is this behavior?

and Fermat's ......I am sure I have found a wonderful proof, but unfortunately the blank space here is too small to write'...... It's the same thing.

If you don't write it, why mention it!

It's outrageous!

"So, it takes seven years just to conceive, no wonder there are so few basilisks." Cedric shook his head.

William thought for a moment and continued to popularize science: "Actually, this kind of magic egg is not only to get basilisk.

If it is not hatched by a toad, but by a poisonous snake, a chicken-bodied basilisk will be born. ”

The chicken-bodied plesilisk is different from the basilisk in that it has wings and holds the head of the chicken.

However, it was just as dangerous as the basilisk, and in the Triwizard Tournament in 1792, the warriors had to deal with a chicken-bodied, snake-tailed monster, and then the three headmasters were injured and many students died.

Since then, the tense and exciting Triwizard Tournament has not been held.

The four of them walked and talked, and finally reached the end of the corridor, where there was a broken wall.

They looked through the wall and inside.

"It's ...... Hogwarts sewers. George exclaimed.

"The basilisk has been shuttling in the pipes, so people can't find it." Fred said.

It's no wonder that the basilisk was able to make its way from the Black Lagoon to the Quidditch arena.

Most of Hogwarts' pipes flow to the Black Lake, and the basilisk can enter the Black Lake, and then pass through that one-way pipe to enter the Quidditch arena.

William remembered another thing, in the Hogwarts construction plan that Dumbledore had shown him, he had written:

In the 18th century, Corvinus Gaunt led the construction of the Hogwarts pipeline system.

And the Gaunt family is the descendants of Slytherin.

He estimated that he had discovered the secret room, so he deliberately used a complex pipe system to completely hide the basilisk to prevent others from finding it.

"It's complicated here, even if we investigate, it will take a long time to find out, and it's easy to get lost." Cedric said.

Hogwarts has pipes all over the school, and it is indeed not easy to not get lost in such an environment.

"It's okay, we have it." Fred grinned and pulled out his big baby.

- Sniff.

Sure enough, sniffing is always dripping God!
