172. There are many thoughts
McGoth's speculation was a little difficult for Harry and Ron to accept, and they subconsciously wanted to refute his words, but the disappearance of Kokang made them unable to open their mouths.
After some random speculation, several people lay in their beds with uneasy emotions, tossing and turning. However, unlike his confused friends, McGoth has actually given a faint answer in his heart - a basilisk!
Although the established plot in memory has not appeared, not even the famous 'Heir of Slytherin' has not been passed on. But McGoth couldn't think of anyone else who could make a graduating wizard disappear inexplicably and leave the principal and professors helpless. Could it be that because of his mess in, there is a person in the school who can and Tom. Riddle's side-by-side existence?
Lying on the bed thinking about McGoss, he was stunned, this, it seems that there is really a trace of possibility. After all, you can even have a crossing, and it doesn't seem like a big deal to pop up a Blue Devil, a Green Devil or something......
Extremely frightened, he shivered inexplicably, wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, glanced at Harry's position, turned his head to look at the blurred night outside the window, and shouted calmly, calmly, don't think about it, Dumbledore is such a shrewd person, how could he make the same mistake, and he can't let Harry hang twice, he abandoned this unrealistic conjecture. Then there is only one possibility left of the basilisk, right?
Leaning over and brushing his thoughts, if it was really a basilisk, did it mean that the Horcrux in the diary had helped a student release the basilisk with the help of or control? Thinking of this, McGoth is a little strange, according to the character of the young Riddle, it shouldn't be a big fanfare to create terror, how did he suddenly develop. This doesn't make sense, I think it's quite reasonable after thinking about it, after all, it's Voldemort, and the young Voldemort is also Voldemort. Teasing himself to relieve his nervousness, he changed his posture and put his hands under his head to look at the purple gauze curtain.
The Harry Potter I read was only a children's book after all, and I'm in a real wizarding world now, and I can't measure them by the characters in it, they are all living people with their own thoughts and lives of their own. Maybe the young Riddle is already a LYB, so it seems normal to make such a quiet move. ’
Thinking about it, McGoth suddenly felt a little stressed, although the Philosopher's Stone incident last year made him see the horror and cunning of Voldemort, but after all, the final ending was not too different from Li, he felt that it should be enough for him to maintain his existing vigilance, but now he found that it was far from enough.
How many times did I play chicken back then when I was killed by Voldemort? This is still an ordinary player doing Voldemort, this time it's Voldemort himself playing Voldemort, and it's not a matter of minutes to want to kill him?
All of a sudden, I don't feel safe at all. Maybe I should find a way to let Dumbledore know about the existence of the Chamber of Secrets. In this way, regardless of whether Kang's disappearance is related to the basilisk or not, at least Dumbledore can get rid of the basilisk so that it can't come out to harm people, and if it is really the basilisk that captures Kang, the sooner it can be rescued, the better. ’
'But how can I let Dumbledore know about the existence of the Chamber of Secrets without letting him suspect me?' It's a hassle. ’
With his previous suspicions, McGoth would not be naïve enough to think that Dumbledore was a good man.
He is not Harry Potter, and his parents are not his former students, why should he trust him unconditionally? What if he thinks I'm connected to Voldemort, or what if he thinks I'm a Horcrux too. Then the question begs, is there a feeling that Dumbledore is going to kill himself, or is he going to lay out to me the way he did Harry? But there is only one deathly hallows that can be resurrected?
"Phew!" McGoth couldn't help but make a sound. Resurrect a fart, he's not a real Horcrux, and in the end he died properly.
"What's wrong?" Harry, who hadn't fallen asleep yet, turned his head when he heard the voice and asked.
"It's nothing, I just accidentally sucked something." Magos shook his head. Glancing at Harry, who was in a depressed mood, he suddenly envied him a little, although Harry didn't know anything now, and he would face his own death in the future. But he will be resurrected in the end, and the most important thing is that Dumbledore is absolutely 100% trusting him, although he is hiding everything from him now.
'If Harry had had my memories, maybe the world would have been a different story. McGoth thought helplessly.
Harry, who couldn't read minds, didn't know what McGoth was thinking, and continued in a deep voice, "You say, is Kang in danger?" I still vividly remember when we worked together to make magic cards last year. ”
After a pause, he asked in a slightly confused tone, "Shouldn't Hogwarts be the safest place in the world?" Why did Kang disappear here? Here he met his best friend, the best teacher, the first time he felt this, he actually regarded Hogwarts as his real home, but Kang's disappearance made him unable to understand, in his eyes, the omnipotent teachers, this time it seemed that they could not help his friends.
"Don't worry, with the headmaster and professors here, Kang will be fine, but I haven't found it for the time being, there is no clue, once there is a clue, maybe we will be able to hear Kang's news at dawn, Hogwarts has the most powerful wizards in the world, it must be the safest place." McGoth reassured.
He suddenly thought that maybe he could tell Dumbledore the news of the Chamber of Secrets through Harry, he believed that Harry would not betray him, but the next second he shook his head again, feeling that with Dumbledore's attention to Harry, he would definitely wonder how Harry knew about the Chamber of Secrets, and it was not investigated. When the time comes, he will definitely be questioned, and maybe Harry will not want to say who it is, and even use the truth elixir. At that time, Harry couldn't keep it no matter how much he tried to keep it, and he couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, no, there was no Yellow River here, jumping on the London Bridge?
"But—" Harry tried to retort, but felt that Magos was right. McGoth didn't give him much thought, and just said go to bed early, we're only in the second grade, even if we're in a hurry, we can't help it. Harry thought about it and stopped talking.
McGoth's gaze looked over Harry's bed to Ron and the others, and it was clear that they weren't asleep either, listening to his conversation with Harry. To be honest, if he didn't think that it was very likely that the basilisk did it, he wouldn't be cranky, after all, with the strength of Dumbledore and the professors, even if Voldemort at his peak dared to suddenly appear in the school with great fanfare, he would be killed by the fire in an instant. But the Chamber of Secrets is just a legend in the school, and until it's exposed, no one but me will suspect it, let alone guess the basilisk inside. In this way, unless the plot in the movie appears and Riddle in the diary takes the initiative to die, Dumbledore will never have thought that Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts, would release a basilisk that has lived for more than a thousand years in the school.
His mind was full of jumbled thoughts, and he fell asleep unconsciously. He also had a dream in which he decided not to tell Dumbledore about the Chamber of Secrets, and took his three friends to find the Chamber of Secrets and save Kang, but in the end, he and his friends were turned into stone statues and stood in the Chamber of Secrets, and the young Riddle mocked their inconsiderate actions with indifferent eyes.
"Huhu..." McGoss, who opened his eyes and straightened up suddenly, saw the familiar bedroom and realized that he was okay, but he had a nightmare, and subconsciously reached out and pinched his arm, fortunately, it was soft. With a sigh of relief, he looked at Harry, who was still asleep, and the others whispered a purification mantra to clear the cold sweat from their bodies.
He sat like this for a while until his mood was completely relaxed, and he simply got up and prepared to go to the lounge to sit down. Putting on his nightgown, he just saw Viadandy, who was lying in a small nest not far away, looking at him with small eyes open.
"Woke you up? Bub. McGoth walked over and touched its little head, chuckling.
"Meow~" The little guy shook his head and showed a comfortable expression.
"It's a cat meowing again, and I don't know if I think you're a cat." McGoth looked at Viadandy speechlessly.
