Chapter 565: Immature Thoughts
"What are you looking for?"
"The natural predator of the eight-eyed spider. Albert looked up at Isobel, frowned slightly, and asked, "What about the pair of glasses I gave you?"
"To Katrina. "Isobel is honest.
On the night that Filch's Lady Loris was petrified, Isobel realized the seriousness of the matter, and although it was not known why the cat did not die directly, the basilisk's gaze caused Lady Loris to be petrified.
In the first place, Albert's concerns were justified.
Katrina probably won't appreciate it. Albert looked at his girlfriend, sighed deeply, and reminded, "I know you love your sister very much, but that guy is still throwing a tantrum." To be honest, I don't have that much time and energy to waste on her. ”
"No, I let Katrina forget about it for a while!"
Isobel was well aware that some things had to be decisive, and while it might not have been nice to Katrina, she had tampered with her sister's memories a little.
"That's probably the best outcome. Albert no longer dwelled on the issue, "I have a feeling that the Slytherin heirs may really have their eyes on me.
"Is it because of fame?" Isobel bit her lip, "Why didn't you tell Dumbledore about this?"
"It's useless, I'm afraid the headmaster guessed something, but that's all. Albert closed the book and explained, "A similar incident occurred at Hogwarts about fifty years ago, when the professors searched almost the entire castle because of the dead, but never found the location of the legendary secret room. ”
"But didn't you say that the monster in the chamber was a basilisk, and you guessed the location of the chamber?" said Isobel, but quickly fell silent again.
Yes, even if the monster in the secret room is a basilisk, but there is no evidence, who will believe it?
People will just take it as a joke.
Even Dumbledore wouldn't believe it easily.
Basically no one wants to believe in the existence of the Slytherin Vault, because for a thousand years, no one has found the Slytherin Vault.
"So, you're looking for evidence to try to convince Dumbledore?"
That's not wrong. Albert tapped his finger on the table with "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and whispered, "Where is the location of the Chamber of Secrets, who is the heir of Slytherin, and what are the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets?"
"Can you tell the result?" Isobel suggested.
To be honest, she really didn't want Albert to take the risk.
"It's hard, my divination skills aren't very strong. Albert looked at the divination crystal ball on the table and whispered, "The next attack has something to do with Quidditch, or ...... Probably happened on the day of the Quidditch match.
"I don't allow you to take risks. Isobel hadn't forgotten how Albert had defeated Rowanna Smith, but suggested anyway, "If you can predict when the attack will happen, tell Dumbledore about it and let him solve the basilisk problem." ”
"The heirs of Slytherin monitor the entire castle, otherwise how could a basilisk be allowed to roam the castle undetected?" Albert reminded.
"Shadow Curse?" Isobel immediately guessed why.
"Well, so I need to master the advanced use of the shielding charm, and the other party can't easily lock me through the human trace charm. Albert pulled out a penny from his pocket, which was covered with a shielding charm, and the spell would take effect if he put the coin in his pocket, but that alone would not shield the detection of the human tracks.
Only magic items made with advanced shielding spells can achieve the shielding effect, and it doesn't last long enough to turn back into normal coins in a few days.
"I'm sure you've got something else in store. Isobel affirmed.
"Basilisk has a thick skin and is very resistant to magic, and ordinary means have little effect, so it is difficult to kill it. ”
In fact, Albert felt that the basilisk died unjustly in it, and it was purely killed by the plot, otherwise, how could he kill a basilisk with Potter's ability, and it would be very good to ascend to heaven directly on the spot without being watched.
Albert didn't think he could trigger a plot kill like Potter, so it's always right to be careful, and he didn't plan to fight the basilisk desperately, although Albert knew that killing the basilisk would probably make a lot of money, but wouldn't it be good to pick up a cheap one?
"I've prepared a lot of magical items to escape, so that if I encounter a basilisk in the castle, I won't be knocked down, or at least find a way to escape. "Albert really didn't want to kill the basilisk alone, that would be unrealistic, unless he used the devil's flame to directly turn the basilisk into a roasted snake.
Isobel wanted to say something but stopped, in fact, she really wanted to say to Albert that if the situation was bad, she would find an excuse to take a leave of absence and come back when this matter passed, but she didn't say it after all, and Albert probably wouldn't run away.
"Do snakes eat spiders?" Albert guessed Isobel's thoughts and diverted the topic, "If it's a so-called predator, it probably refers to a predatory relationship!"
"I don't know if that's what else could be causing the Eight-Eyed Spider to be afraid of the basilisk?" said Isobel.
"Any other reason?" Albert reopened part of the record of the basilisk in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and the author apparently hadn't seen the basilisk himself.
His gaze fell on "anyone's gaze that touches its gaze and kills him instantly." On that line, after a while, he suddenly said: "I see." ”
"What do you think of?"
"I can probably guess why spiders are afraid of basilisks!" Albert jumped up from his seat and said excitedly, "As we all know, spiders have a wide field of vision, they can reach 360 degrees, and they can't close their eyes, which means that spiders can easily make eye contact with basilisks, causing direct death. ”
Isobel obviously didn't understand what it meant to have a 360-degree field of view, but he could probably understand why Albert was afraid of the basilisk.
Next, the two discuss how to prevent a sneak attack by the Slytherin heir.
Although Albert was a little unhappy that Isobel actually gave Katrina the glasses he gave him, he was more worried about her safety.
He wouldn't give his protective glasses to Isobel, and as a pure-blood wizard, she didn't have to worry too much about the risk of attack, but Albert's situation was a little bad.
If he didn't want to take the risk, Albert had other options.
It was after the second attack that Tom's diary was intercepted from Ginny.
It's also the best chance.
But the question is what to do with Tom's diary after intercepting it, which is the biggest problem.
Can't you just go straight to Dumbledore for a showdown after squeezing out the value of the diary, saying that you have found the Slytherin heir?
