Chapter Forty-Nine: Basilisk (Recommend!) )

For three days, the castle was closely discussing the topic of the Chamber of Secrets, and some students were very smart, such as Ravenclaw's Cho Chang who asked Professor Binns in the history of magic, but even Professor Binns, who had been in the castle for the longest time, had very limited knowledge of the Chamber of Secrets, and could not give any useful answers, and even said that Egger was not, thinking that the Chamber of Secrets was just a legend, and what Egger said was pure nonsense.

"It's been years since Hogwarts has been so vibrant..."Professor Flitwick was so excited that he immediately announced something: "Whoever can find the location of the Chamber of Secrets first, I will add fifty points to that house." ”

Professor McGonagall, by contrast, was much more sensible, and she disapproved of Egger's move, believing that it was too dangerous for the students, but after Egger repeatedly promised that he would blind the basilisk, Professor McGonagall finally agreed to Egger's approach.

On the night Egger announced the incident, he informed the four Deans of the matter, and Dumbledore was happy to see it, and praised Egg's teaching methods, which made Snape look ugly, because Egger's Defence Against the Dark Arts class was exactly the same as his routine, but he was still teaching Potions himself.

With the exception of the four deans, the other professors were in a state of complete unawareness, and of course, the four professors didn't mind the students asking themselves some questions if they didn't ask directly.

Some of the students asked Professor Trelawney for help with divination, only to find out that Iger was going to let them conquer death...

Iger almost went crazy laughing when he heard the news.

At the same time, the news was published in the Daily Prophet, and some older parents wrote to their children about their speculations about the secret room.

Early on Friday morning, a group of Ravenclaw girls surrounded Professor Flitwick in the auditorium, and Iger found out that among the four colleges, there were the most Ravenclaw girls! A large part of them are beautiful women, no wonder other colleges are reluctant to offend them...

"The entrance to the secret room is in the girls' bathroom on the second floor, and I solved it! The soul of the dead who was taken away fifty years ago was the weeping myrtle! Qiu Zhang looked at his own dean in front of him a little nervously and asked expectantly.

Professor Flitwick looked at Egger, who only told them what was in the chamber, but not where it was.

Looking at Professor Flitwick's gaze, Egger smiled and nodded, "That's right, the entrance to the secret room is in the girls' bathroom on the second floor, but did you find the faucet?" ”

"Found it, there's a relief of a small snake on the side!" A girl shouted excitedly.

"Ravenclaw plus fifty points!" Professor Flitwick shouted excitedly in his high-pitched voice, and a scream rang out from the Ravenclaw table.

"There's still fifty points, so everyone needs to speed up." Eggle took a sip of lemon juice from his glass.

As soon as the words fell, Fred and George rushed in from outside the auditorium in a rage: "It's a basilisk in the secret room!" ”

Fred shouted, "Ancient creatures, basilisk! ”

George opened a book and read aloud after Fred: "The seven-year-old rooster laid the egg when Sirius was in the sky, and the toad hatched it. ”

"Whoever stares at him will be killed in an instant!" Fred shouted.

"So don't touch its gaze, or it will bring you death!" George said, looking around.

"As for the whispers that can't be heard..."Fred looked at Egg: "It refers to the Parseltongue, Hogwarts legend has that Slytherin left a monster in the Chamber of Secrets, waiting for the heirs of Slytherin to slaughter Muggle-born wizards, and the method of controlling the basilisk is the Parseltongue of Slytherin blood." ”

"Brilliant inference." Iger clapped and looked at the two of them and laughed, "Gryffindor plus fifty points!" ”

There was an uproar all around, no one thought that the first to discover the identity of the monster in the secret room would be the Weasley brothers, after all, anyone who guessed it was more reliable than these two.

"We followed the girls closely," Fred spread his hands as he looked around at the puzzled eyes of the students.

"Then we went to the library and asked Mrs. Pince which monster would have a lethal eye." George laughed.

"Mrs. Pince told us so easily—" Fred looked smug as the group of Ravenclaw girls at the long table across from him looked unkind, and seemed to be unhappy with the two of them stalking him.

"You shouldn't be so negligent, if you go to the library to check the materials as soon as you find the secret room, we can't get fifty points so easily!" George's face was excited, and the twins exchanged their hands excitedly.

"Oh my God, we made 70 points a semester, and Mom knew she was going to cry with joy." Fred laughed, "Looks like we're making a lot more than Percy!" ”

Not far away, Percy snorted with a frown, muttering something in a low voice.

The auditorium was bustling with all the students discussing the basilisk issue.

"Silence!" Dumbledore's voice rang out, and the people turned to see Dumbledore standing behind the owl lectern in front of the teacher's chair, looking at the students below.

"Due to the safety of the students, it is up to the students to participate in the final exam of this crusade of their own volition, and the senior students who do not plan to participate can apply for the usual exam format to pass the exam, and the students who participate in the crusade also need the signature of their parents."

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, a wave of opposition suddenly sounded below, especially at the Gryffindor long table, where the protest was the loudest.

"In addition, the format of the exam is not for the students to do their own thing, we will attack the basilisk in batches in a phalanx of four houses, and the defense and offense will alternate, and the four deans and the acting professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Iger Moritsus, will be responsible for the security of the students and the examination review, and before the exam, we will blind the basilisk in advance in case anything happens to the students." Dumbledore ignored the strong protests below, turned and left.

"What's the difference between that and let's kill a pig tied to a cutting board?" Fred said indignantly.

"Trust me, it's a lot harder to kill than a pig." Egg took a sip from his cup, "The pig will die if it goes under a spell, and the basilisk may be no different from itching if it goes under a spell..."

"As long as it's not a spider!" Ron rolled up his sleeves aggressively, as if he couldn't wait to go up and fight.

"It's nothing to do with you, students below the third grade can't participate, little Ronnie still obediently watch your brothers on the stage and make a big move~" George grinned and rubbed Ron's head.

Ron angrily broke away from George's hand: "Don't call me Ronnie! ”

As the mystery of the secret room was solved, thousands of owls flew into thousands of households, and to Egger's surprise, more than ninety percent of the parents of the students chose to agree to their children's participation in the assessment, even the Slytherins, who were good at protecting themselves...

What left him speechless even more was that Lucius wrote a letter to Egger and sent it, hoping that Egger would allow Draco to take the test.

Iger didn't want to refuse directly, don't make a fuss, the senior students can't take care of it, I still have to help you watch your son?

Lucius had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and sent another email to Egger, hoping that Iger could get his son a capital worth showing off...

Iger couldn't help but be a little speechless, he knew too well what Lucius was thinking, he just wanted to let himself go out and have a story about his son.

Iger looked at Lucius's letter and grinned, swiping his pen.

Yes! Depend on you!

Lucius's reply was quick, to be precise, and in less than three days, a brand new Light Wheel 2001 appeared on Egger's breakfast table, and Egger tore open the envelope and grinned, Lucius wrote a small gift to Egger while supporting the Quidditch team at Slytherin House.

Iger couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, just the weekend before yesterday, Gryffindor and Slytherin had a skirmish, because in order to get Malfoy on the team, Lucius funded a light wheel for each of the Slytherins2001, and Snape directly wrote a note to occupy the Gryffindor team's training grounds.

Of course, the result was that Hermione happened to be there at the time, and Malfoy's group immediately withered...

This made Egg feel funny, in normal history, the Slytherin group could be said to have a lot of contempt for Hermione, and even Malfoy had insulted Hermione Mudbloods.

As for now... Iger and Hermione have a very good relationship, are you touched by Malfoy?

Don't dare to move... Don't dare to move......

Egg casually gave Hermione a new broom, and he already had it anyway...

Soon, Iger realized how stupid his actions were...

Like the men who taught their wives to shop online in his previous life, Egg looked at Hermione, who now ran to the Quidditch pitch every day, and fell into deep self-doubt.

Doesn't she like to ride a broomstick?

It's not that I don't like to ride, but I don't ride if I don't!

Fortunately, this craze only lasted two or three days, and then she lent the broom to Angelina, hoping that Angelina would score two more goals...

"I thought you wanted to grow on it..."

On Sunday, Iger said as he leaned on the railing of the stadium stands, clutching a shivering chocolate frog in his hand.

Hermione's little face turned red at what Egg said: "I just experienced it, and it turned out to be nothing more than that..."

As she spoke, Hermione snorted a little arrogantly.

"Oh..."Egger suddenly scratched his head: "Speaking of which, we will have another Quidditch World Cup shortly after the end of our third year, and I think the Bulgarian team has a good chance of winning..."

"Ireland are the strongest!" Hermione turned her head to correct Egger's words.

The two looked at each other, and Hermione's little face turned red again...

“emmm… I agree with you..."Egg nodded, biting off the head of the chocolate frog in his hand, and the body of the chocolate frog in his hand suddenly kicked his legs violently, twitched weakly, and then stopped moving...

"Do you want to participate in the academy's tryouts?" Egg smiled and looked at Hermione, who was humming and chirping.

Hermione pursed her lips and tried to strain her little face, but finally couldn't help but laugh and nodded slightly.

"I think the two of us would be a good fit as hitters." Iger laughed.

"You're going to participate in the selection too?" Hermione looked at Egg in surprise.

"Of course, I'll have to protect you," Egg laughed a little teasingly.

Hermione smiled flushed, and leaned gently against Egg.

……

It was another Monday, and Egg showed up early in the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom to look at the students below.

"The spell we need to practice today is simple: remove your weapons." Iger shook his head, "Don't laugh, Mr. Thomas..."

Dean felt his tongue stick to the roof of his mouth, and then loosened again.

"This spell is still very powerful in terms of effect alone, fast and powerful." Iger smiled, "The main thing is that it won't let you be imprisoned in Azkaban for accidentally taking someone's life. ”

"Even if you're focused enough, this spell can even resist Avada's life, and it's very efficient and fast." Egg said, waving his wand, and the desks in front of the students suddenly scratched aside: "It's a pity, Lockhart's books are expensive, but I don't need them in my class..."

"Since I don't have any books in class, we naturally focus more on practical lessons." As he spoke, Iger waved his hand, and another dummy came upside down, holding a fake wand in his hand: "Get closer, focus on the target, and have a strong sense of confidence, Mr. Longbottom, I hope you can grasp this spell quickly." ”

Neville smiled reluctantly, looking not so confident in himself.

"Come one by one, line up!" Iger clapped his hands, and the students in front of him hurriedly lined up in a long row.

"Except for your weapons!" Hermione bore the brunt of the blow, and with a flick of her wand, the wand in the dummy's hand flew high.

"Gryffindor plus five points, which is good." Egg clapped his hands with a smile.

Behind Hermione, a long row lined up, Harry managed to lift the wand from the dummy's hand, and Ron just left the wand crooked.

"Although this wand is not broken, I strongly recommend that you change it, and it is no joke that the wand chooses its owner." Iger looked at Ron's wand and shook his head, "I've been paying attention to this wand since I was in first grade, Charlie's, right?" He doesn't seem to listen to you very much. ”

"Where did I get the money to buy a wand?" Ron muttered, standing on the other side with his head bowed.

Egg shook his head, it seems that Ron's Christmas gift is basically not an option...

Ron has a lot of self-esteem, and Harry had tried to buy him an owl for him, but he refused...

"Except for your weapons!" Neville held out his wand and the wand in the dummy's hand shook, not as effective as Ron's.

"I told me I couldn't," Neville sighed sadly.

"Find the right way!" Iger walked quickly in front of him, took Neville's arm and flung it at the dummy not far away, and the tip of Neville's wand suddenly burst into the dummy's body with a red light, and the wand in the dummy's hand flew away.

"Move fast! The posture should be handsome! Egg looked at Neville and blinked, "Try again!" ”

Neville sniffed, feeling a pang of excitement in his heart, and pointed at the dummy, "Except for your weapon!" ”

The weapon in the dummy's hand flew into Neville's hand with a whirl.

There was a round of applause behind him, and Neville turned his head excitedly, as a group of lions cubs gathered around him to celebrate.

This is indeed something to celebrate, as it may be the first time Neville has successfully cast a spell in over a year since he arrived at Hogwarts...
