If a person wants to have enough credibility and reputation, it will inevitably take a long time to accumulate, but collapse often only requires a few trivial things.

For example, borrowing money... is a good example.

At this moment, although there was no dirty money deal between Snape and Dumbledore, Dumbledore's recent misjudgments suddenly reminded him of someone's evaluation of Dumbledore:

"He... Old..."

Is it really old?

Weakened by his firm convictions, Snape stared at Dumbledore beside him, desperate for him to give him a satisfactory answer.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore only followed the direction Snape was pointing, glanced at the giant snakeskin in front of him, and said with a smile:

"It seems... The kid had a good relationship with Hagrid. ”

Immediately, before Snape could figure out what the whole thing had to do with Hagrid, Dumbledore slowly walked into the Chamber of Secrets under Fawkes's guidance, and saw the ghosts wandering in the Chamber of Secrets.

Snape followed him into the chamber, and when he saw the ghost's facial features, his pupils constricted slightly, and he couldn't help asking:

"Could this be..."

"Severus, I guess you guessed right, he's Salazar Slytherin."

"But he... But didn't he leave Hogwarts a long time ago? Snape asked, somewhat incoherently.

"No rumor is true, and the truth will always need to be explored for ourselves, just as we see it in front of us."

Dumbledore smiled softly and pointed around the chamber, "Severus, don't you think it's strange? ”

"What do you mean?"

"I mean... It's so clean here. ”

"That's all I can say... Mister Rogers didn't disappoint you. ”

Snape pursed his lips and said, "He doesn't even have scum left of a basilisk with enough fire to burn, so I still can't understand why you decided to trust him because he resembles that man?" Or... Is he a controllable silencer? ”

"Believe me, Severus, I've been studying the mysteries of Silence lately, and I'm sure the boy is a good-hearted Silencer."

As he spoke, Dumbledore opened his arms, and after taking a deep breath, he smiled intoxicatedly, "Fierce fire... A familiar breath like... There's a bit of a disarming spell in it, did you teach him? ”

Snape's face darkened, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, "Did he really use the Disarming Charm against the basilisk as I said?" ”

"That's right."

"Poor basilisk..."

Sighing to himself, Snape turned to ask, "And then what do we need to do?" ”

"Get to know the truth."

"From?"

"From .... He! ”

Recalling Fawkes and making it stand on his shoulder, Dumbledore led Snape to the Slytherin ghost, originally hoping to learn from the Slytherin, who looked as stiff as Professor Binns, what Louis had gained by exploring the chamber.

Who would have thought, as soon as the two of them walked up to Slytherin, they suddenly saw him and asked with a dull expression:

"Want to know the secrets of the Chamber of Secrets? Promise me to be my son! ”

Dumbledore, Snape: "...."

And then...

Dumbledore pretended not to hear, whistled, and slowly shifted his gaze to the slanted upwards.

Seeing this, Snape gritted his teeth fiercely, embarrassed, and finally stifled a sound from his mouth:

"Daddy!"

With that, Snape's face flushed with shame, and he quietly moved his steps to the side.

Slytherin, on the other hand, nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke about that turbulent era, the past of founding Hogwarts with his friends, and the intuitive feeling that Dumbledore brought was...

"Why... Why don't you start with the beginning? ”

Followed by.

Three long hours had passed, and Dumbledore and Snape had still not gotten any useful information from the Slytherin story, so Dumbledore couldn't help but ask:

"Severus, will the kid go to your place tonight?"

"Hmm."

Snape nodded, affirming, "His only merit may be that he keeps his promise better than anyone else, and he will definitely go in the evening." ”

"Good."

Dumbledore smiled when he heard this, then sighed deeply and said, "But before we talk to that kid..."

"I want to... Maybe it's time for me to check out my old friend! ”

As soon as the words fell.

"Hum..."

Fawkes flew into the air, allowing Dumbledore to grab its ankle and disappear in place with a burst of fiery red light.

However, after Dumbledore left, Snape did not leave the secret room directly, but stared at the Slytherin ghost for a long time, and muttered before leaving:

"Loved..."

………………

Early.

Eight.

In the eyes of others, Louie may have slept surprisingly lazy, but only he knows in his heart that he is still in a state of sleep deprivation due to the disorder of his biological clock.

Thanks to George, Fred, and Galen in the same dormitory, all of them didn't wake up, but it didn't make Louie look too different.

Later, after a hurried breakfast in the auditorium, Louis and the others almost stepped into the Charms classroom and began their first Charms class after the Christmas holidays.

In this lesson, Professor Flitwick began to teach the new spells again, and Louis could tell that the three of them were in high spirits, and even the twins did not doze off in class as before.

However, Louie's attention was clearly not on the class, and the main focus was on his basilisk part.

Because...

At this time, his basilisk clone is transforming with the magic power of a high-level transformation charm!

There is no doubt that the smooth transformation of the basilisk clone is crucial for Louis.

In order to ensure the safety of Jason, Sophia, and Harry, his werewolf clone must remain at home and not move recklessly, making the basilisk clone the only chess piece in his hand that can be used.

Unfortunately, even though Louie's understanding of advanced transformation charms such as Animagus has deepened a lot, the transformation of the basilisk clone still does not go well.

During the two classes of Spells and History of Magic in the morning, as the basilisk clone failed to transform again and again, Louie became more and more mentally exhausted, and his mood was also faintly irritable.

No matter how hard he tried to concentrate, how many times he had an epiphany, but under the layers of advanced transformation spell magic, the basilisk clone only showed some human characteristics at most.

Like an extra neck, an extra pair of hands, an extra pair of legs, or a long tail that becomes something indescribable...

So taking advantage of the lunch break, Louie, who said goodbye to his friends, returned to the dormitory alone and lay on the bed to supplement his sleep a little.

After waking up, his mental state was noticeably better, and he soon had a few epiphnies in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class, and vaguely grasped the trick of transforming a basilisk clone!

And then...

"Buzz!"

Purple Gourd 2.0 storage space.

The bursts of black mist that had originally swirled around the basilisk clone dissipated, gradually revealing the results of its transformation this time.

Although it is said that after the basilisk doppelganger has been transformed this time, it is still a half-human and half-snake monster in the eyes of others.

But when Louis saw that the basilisk clone had changed into a snake tail on the upper body and a human body on the lower body, he couldn't help but nod himself secretly, and said in his heart:

"Hmm... If you become like this..."

"It's barely working..."

Immediately, Louis manipulated the silent magic power to pinch the basilisk clone back to the prototype, and once again made it transform into a strange half-human and half-snake appearance such as the upper body is a human body, the lower body is a snake head, or the left half is a human body, and the right half of the body is a snake tail.

Ultimately.

Louie temporarily froze the basilisk doppelganger into...

The image of a human body with a snake tail!
