Aitch stood in front of the much larger statue and said in Serpent Language, "Speak to me, Slytherin, the greatest of the Hogwarts Four." ”

Slytherin's stone face began to move, and Aitch saw Slytherin's mouth open wider and wider, revealing a large black hole. Something seems to be tumbling inside the statue's mouth, sliding straight up from the depths of the bottom.

Aitch closed his eyes, but he could smell a strong, fishy odor that was much more pungent than the smell in the backyard of the Amazing Zoo.

One can imagine the snake body of the basilisk glowing with an ugly green light, as thick as the trunk of an oak tree, held high in the air, the huge and heavy head of the snake towering in the air, the snake letter was as long and thin as a saber, and a pair of huge bright yellow eyes stared at the little man in front of him.

"Heir of Slytherin, is there anything I need to do for you?"

This wasn't the first time Aitch had met the basilisk, he had come down last year to get a little venom and make a "life talisman" that he now hung on his chest.

"Yes, I want you to give me some venom as well as blood." Aitch took out two open bottles and placed them on the ground in front of him.

The floor rubbed against the basilisk's scales, making a rustling sound that sounded like you were putting your ears to a desk where someone was writing.

According to House rumors, the basilisk was a tool left by Slytherin for the heirs to cleanse the House and kill all Muggle wizards. But that's not the case!

First, it cannot be achieved in practice. How many people can a basilisk kill? Fifty years ago, Voldemort first released the basilisk, and before he could kill a few people, the whole school fell into panic and was almost closed; It's the same in the second story. Trying to clean up the school with a basilisk is completely inefficient.

Second, the first time the basilisk was released fifty years ago, it was only a crying myrtle, and even the frequent attacks of the basilisk in the original book only petrified the students and ghosts. Aitch boiled it down to the fact that the basilisk seemed to use only the petrification magic of the eyes. At the very least, it can kill students with venom, swallow, and bite. But the basilisk seems to be leaving a way for the students to survive - they will be restored to normal by taking the magic potion made by the mandrake.

Third, it is impossible to guard any treasure, otherwise Voldemort would not have let go of this secret treasure when he had an incident.

The real answer was only known after Aitch became the heir of Slytherin: from the first day Slytherin kept the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, he issued a ban: no students can be killed!

So when Voldemort asked him to mutilate the students, he always petrified the target and retreated. And Myrtle's death was entirely unlucky—the basilisk had just come up for a walk and met her in the eye.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the reason why Slytherin appointed Aitch as his heir. As mentioned above, the basilisk is not a tool to clear Muggle wizards, and the real role of the basilisk is to protect a key spell for refining a Horcrux, which is quite consistent with the time when Voldemort made the Horcrux in the diary! From Horace Slughorn's memories in the original books, it can be seen that Riddle had already worn Gaunt's ring when he asked him about Horcruxes, but at that time, Riddle was still short of this spell for making Horcruxes. It can be seen that Riddle already had the idea of making a Horcrux at that time, but there was still one last step to go, so the ring at that time was just an ordinary family heirloom.

With all the clues, Aitch can sort out the story of Voldemort's brilliant student named Tom Riddle, who won many honors for Slytherin, and has a long-standing passion for finding the legendary Chamber of Secrets and the way to live forever. During this time, he discovered a dark magic item called a Horcrux. At the same time, he also passed the heir's exam, and although he did not become the true heir, the deeply sorry Slytherin told him the entrance and method of the secret room. From the basilisk, he completed all the pieces of the puzzle for refining the Horcruxes. Then, a frenzied Tom unleashed a basilisk, used Myrtle's life to refine the first Horcrux, and since then has embarked on a path of no return, even bringing bloody rain to the entire wizarding world.

That's all there is to the story, Slytherin feels that he has a share of all the faults, so he makes Aitch the heir and asks him to deal with Voldemort and put an end to everything.

Don't underestimate the identity of the heir of Slytherin, compared to the identity of the heir of Ravenclaw, it is indeed a bit icing on the cake, but it gives Aitch the ability to drive the basilisk just as important. Although snakes will listen to the Parseltongue, they must also be separated from each other. When Slytherin passed the Chamber of Secrets to Voldemort, the basilisk would take his orders as supreme instructions, which was quite terrifying - if the most evil wizards went to war with the strongest monsters, the righteous wizards would face a slaughter! And the identity of the Slytherin heir can at least make the basilisk not help, after all, this is the legitimate heir of the previous master, which is undoubtedly a strong support for dealing with Voldemort.

"All right, sir."

"Thank you, Mr. Basilisk. This year, the heir to the Chamber of Secrets may return. Aitch put away the two bottles full of liquid. But Mr. Slytherin and I hope that what happened fifty years ago will not happen again. ”

"Understood, Mr. Heir, I don't want to go against the will of my former master." The sound of gliding sounded in the passage, and Aitch could feel it as it departed, into the depths of the passage. He opened his eyes and returned to his dormitory. Yes, Aitch is only the heir of Slytherin, not the inheritor of the Chamber of Secrets. Voldemort was its direct leader, and it was good enough for Aitch to make the basilisk so obedient.

Today's conversation with Malfoy made Aitch know something, and the elder Malfoy didn't want little Malfoy to have anything to do with Voldemort.

Just like at the end of the original book, the love that the old Malfoy couple had for their son could even make them rebel against Voldemort! During the Forbidden Forest, Voldemort's deathful hand to Malfoy Jr. has caused a father to rebel against his former leader.

Although the elder Malfoy still stuffed the Horcrux into Ginny's textbook, it can be seen from this detail of the hoodwinking son: this is an attempt to break off relations with Voldemort! By the way, the Weasleys who "don't have long eyes" will be pitted.

But the potential problem with the Horcrux is still too big, and Aitch didn't get his hands on it in the first place because of Ron, and he may not have a chance later, so he has to go to the secret room again to confirm the attitude of the basilisk, so he has a trip tonight.
