188. Rescued
"How dare you." McGonagall's voice trembled a little.
"Minerva."
"Headmaster Dumbledore? How do you stay with them? McGonagall looked at the headmaster behind her, with some hard time.
"That's right, these kids found the two missing students, so they secretly ran out and told me." They winked at Harry.
McGoth and the others nodded hurriedly.
"You can tell me too." McGonagall looked at them dissatisfied. Hermione was quietly relieved to see that McGonagall wasn't angry anymore.
So there were two more people in the team going to the secret room.
"How did Professor McGonagall find out?" Magos asked in a whisper as he walked over to Hermione.
Hermione looked frustrated, "After you'd been gone for a while, Professor McGonagall suddenly came to the break room to count the people, and that's it. ”
McGoth glanced at them, and they both showed a helpless wry smile, this luck, the male and female dormitories really couldn't stop Professor McGonagall's pace.
"It's good that McGoth knows about the entrance to the secret room, otherwise we would have been miserable this time." Ron was a little scared.
"The entrance to the secret room?" Hermione looked at them with a question mark on her face.
"That's right." Harry and Ron told Hermione what had just happened. At this time, they also arrived at the abandoned women's bathroom.
"Professor Dumbledore." Myrtle floated up and found that it was Dumbledore who came in, and hurriedly said hello.
"Lady Myrtle."
Magos nodded to Myrtle, and led them to the sink in the middle of the bathroom, where he looked down at the eight faucets, and then pointed to the serpentine faucet and said that this was the entrance. But I don't know how to get in. Anyway, it doesn't matter if they don't mention it now, even if they can't react, it will be easy for Harry to use snake language and Dumbledore's magic to blast open the entrance.
Dumbledore stepped forward to look at it for a moment, then asked Harbledore to try it out with the snake's old tongue.
As Harry's snake spoke, the pool of water in the eight-sided row glowed with a dazzling white light, and slowly spread out in all directions, revealing a very thick pipe.
"Hogwarts still has a place like this." Professor McGonagall looked at the entrance to the chamber with some surprise.
McGoth stretched out his head to take a look, and it was pitch black.
"Fluorescent flicker!" Professor McGonagall threw a ball of light at the pipe, and she didn't see the end until the light was gone.
Dumbledore had wanted the McGoths to stay in the bathroom, but looking at their curious expressions, he casually added a levitation charm to them.
"Stay next to me and Professor McGonagall."
After saying that, they let them slowly float down the pipe to the back of McGonagall's hall, and on the way McGoth lit his wand, and could see that there were many pipes that branched out in all directions, but none of them were as thick as this one. The pipe twists and turns, winding around and downward, and after a period of time, the pipe slowly bends a little until it is vertical.
After his feet hit the ground, Harry sighed how deep it was,
"Probably across the bottom of the lake." Ron said.
"Follow me." Dumbledore interrupted their conversation.
"Why are there all bones down there?" Ron asked in disgust.
"There could be some creature living here." Magos replied.
"Oh my God," Hermione exclaimed, "what's that?" Snakes? ”
In the direction Hermione pointed, McGoth and the others also saw the silhouette of a coiled behemoth, lying motionless on the other side of the tunnel.
"The molting of a basilisk, a precious magical material." Dumbledore walked over, and the wand in his hand emitted a bright light, and the light shone on a huge snakeskin, green and bright, and it looked like the skin of a poisonous snake, coiled and lying on the floor of the tunnel, and it was empty. Apparently, the animal that had shed this layer of skin was at least twenty feet long.
"Minerva, you take them around looking for the missing students. I'll go to the other side and have a look. ”
"Follow me, ladies and gentlemen." McGonagall shouted and led them into one of the tunnels.
However, they searched around and found that they were back where they were.
"Come here." Dumbledore's voice came from the direction he had left.
They walked briskly through bends and saw Dumbledore coming to a halt in front of a stone wall carved with two intertwined snakes with large, glittering emeralds in their eyes.
"Harry, come here and try again."
"Okay, Headmaster." Harry said. Then he said another sentence in the old snake voice.
As the words fell, the two snakes on the stone wall slowly parted and split from the middle, slowly sliding to both sides and disappearing. Dumbledore walked in wand in hand.
Mygoth and the others followed, and they were greeted by a vast space supported by several stout stone pillars, each carved with a coiled serpent.
"It's incredible." Hermione sighed as she looked at the buildings.
"This is Salazar. The Chamber of Secrets that Slytherin left behind. ”
"Be vigilant." Professor McGonagall looked at the attracted student with some dissatisfaction.
"Don't worry, there's nothing here." Dumbledore said with his eyes closed.
"I found two missing students." As he spoke, he led them around a few stone pillars.
"Kang."
"Luna." The four of Magos ran up to them. Looking at their gray faces, I was worried.
"Petrification lifted!" Dumbledore raised his wand to unravel the petrification effect on their bodies, and as the petrification touched, Kang and Luna went limp and were held up by Magos.
"They need to be treated quickly, and although the petrification has been lifted, their bodies are too weak now." McGonagall said solemnly to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore nodded, and no longer went back along the path just now, and directly used the Headmaster's authority to take them back to the Headmaster's office with their apparitions.
"I'll call Madam Pomfrey, and you help them to the school hospital."
"Got it, Professor McGonagall." The four of them hurriedly replied.
"You guys go first, I need to write a letter to Fudge and the members of the board."
Madam Pomfrey wept with joy at the sight of the two missing students, and quickly adjusted the healing potion.
"Mr. Anat has been under the petrification spell for a few days, and his body has lost more organs, if it's okay, I hope you don't disturb him." Madam Pomfrey said, looking at the few people around her.
"Lady Lovegood has a serious problem, not only does she have symptoms of being petrified but she also has some mental problems, which I am not good at. Minerva, she may have to be taken to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Illnesses. ”
"No, this is what I'm good at." A voice rang out from outside the door.
"Professor Lockhart?" Madam Pomfrey frowned as she looked at the visitor.
"This is no joke!"
