In the wards of the school hospital.

Three figures were standing in front of a hospital bed, silently looking at the stiff girl on the bed.

"There was another attack."

Professor McGonagall's voice broke the silence in the room, her tone surprisingly gentle.

"This time it was your sister who was attacked, she was attacked at noon next to the boys' bathroom on the seventh floor, do you know why she appeared there?"

7th Floor ...... Bathroom......

When he heard these two words, Danas instantly figured everything out.

These days, he will sneak to the eighth floor almost every day, enter the room of requirement, his sister Hannah must have noticed his strange behavior, and was curious for a moment, so she quietly followed him up the stairs, but he didn't expect to bump into the basilisk next to the bathroom on the seventh floor.

Fortunately, when he was ten years old, he gave his sister a complete set of magic contact lenses and cultivated her habit of wearing them, otherwise...... It's not just about being petrified!

Looking at his sister's sculptural stiff face and devoid of lustre, Danas's hands hanging at his side clenched into fists, and the green tendons on the backs of his hands swelled.

"Danas?"

Professor McGonagall called out worriedly.

Danas came back to his senses and shook his head calmly.

"I don't know, I don't know, Professor."

Seeing Danas's expression, Professor McGonagall sighed and took his hand and whispered comfort.

"Don't worry, kid, Hannah she's just petrified, Professor Sprout told me this morning that in another month, the mandrake will be ready to be harvested, and by then, all the petrified people will wake up."

"Well, I understand."

Danas nodded slightly.

Professor McGonagall patted the back of his hand and said with a worried expression.

"Danas, I'll escort you back to Ravenclaw."

"No need Professor." Danas shook his head, "You'd better go to the common room first and make the announcement, it's not good news that students are being attacked more often." ”

“…… That's right, you're right. ”

Professor McGonagall looked abrupt, and then frowned slightly, a little worried.

"Are you all right, though?"

"It's okay."

A smile appeared on Danas' face.

Turning around again, the smile on Danas's face faded.

"Basilisk ......"

Danas's eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked out of the hospital with a blank face.

……

……

Crying myrtle in the bathroom.

The three of them were arguing quietly.

"How is that possible?!"

Hermione frowned and let out a low snort.

"If Tom Riddle is really Voldemort, how can the school keep his Special Contribution Award?"

"Of course, it's because merit is merit, and it's over!" Ron shrugged, "Hogwarts has always been overwhelmed, and I know that best, right, Harry?" ”

"That's right."

Harry nodded.

"And I don't think Danas would lie to me on this kind of issue, it won't do him any good......"

"Unless he's the heir to Slytherin's vault!"

Hermione said suddenly.

“……”

Harry and Ron looked at each other, both frowning.

"It's a possibility." Harry nodded, then shook his head and held up the black book in his hand, "But our immediate priority is to find the person who threw the book away!" ”

"How do you find this?" Ron had a headache.

"Remember that scream?"

"Remember, it's a girl, and then?" Ron shrugged noncommittally, "You don't want to say Ginny again, do you?" No kidding, it's not funny at all! ”

"But that's just the way it is!"

As Harry hesitated, a calm voice came from outside the bathroom.

The three of them hurriedly looked at the door vigilantly, and then saw Danas's calm face.

"Danas?"

Harry and Hermione were slightly stunned, and Ron was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted, glaring at Danas with anger on his face, and shouting in his mouth.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Ginny even had a ......"

"Silent!"

Danas heard a faint voice, and Ron's voice suddenly stopped, although his mouth was still opening and closing, but he could no longer make a sound.

“……？？”

Realizing that he had been spelled, Ron's eyes widened, and he angrily pulled out his tattered wand, which had long been cut in half, barely glued together by duct tape and glue.

"Except for your weapons!"

A red spell shot out, knocking down Ron's wand.

Harry and Hermione quickly pulled out their wands and looked at Danas warily.

"Take it easy." Danas glanced at them and said in a light tone, "I'm just afraid that he will hurt himself by swinging his staff indiscriminately...... Trust me, I have no ill will towards you. ”

With that, Danas put his wand back in his arms, indicating that he had no ill intentions.

Seeing Ron's tattered, often malfunctioning wand, Harry and Hermione looked at each other - I have to say, for a very convincing reason.

Ron's eyes widened in disbelief at Harry and Hermione as they lowered their wands.

At that moment, Danas's voice rang out again, drawing Ron's attention back to it.

"Listen to me, Ron, the original owner of this notebook is indeed Ginny, and if you don't believe it, you can ask Luna Lovegood, a first-year Ravenclaw student, who had seen the book from Ginny, and who, by the way, was also a friend of Ginny."

With that, before Ron could retort angrily, Danas changed his tune.

"But having this book doesn't mean she's the heir to the secret room in Slytherin, she's just a poor little girl affected by this incident, and the real heir to the secret room is someone else."

Hearing this, Harry and Hermione were stunned, and the anger on Ron's face gradually faded.

Hermione frowned slightly and asked tentatively:

"Do you know the heir of the Slytherin Vault?"

"That's right."

Danas nodded.

Harry's eyes lit up instantly.

"Who is it?"

Harry couldn't help but ask.

Danas looked down and said calmly.

"It's the journal you have."

"Huh?"

The three of them were slightly stunned, and looked at the notebook in their hands.

"Yes...... It's just a book, huh? ”

Harry's face was full of confusion, but Danas's face didn't change in the slightest.

"As I said before, the original owner of this book, Tom Riddle, was a mysterious man from his school days, and if you look closely at the cover of this book, you will see that the name of a Muggle bookshop is written on it......"

Harry and Hermione nodded in unison, they had already noticed this.

"That's right, Tom Riddle is not a pureblood, his father was a Muggle, so the mysterious man was very disgusted with Riddle's Muggle name, so he reorganized his name and gave himself a completely new name-"

"-Voldemort!"

Harry couldn't help but utter the name.

"That's right." Danas glanced at him and said calmly, "Very few people know this, so that's why I'm sure this book does belong to the mystery people...... My guess is that he may have left a spell in the book that can manipulate the minds of others, such as the Imperius Curse, one of the Unforgivable Curses. ”

Harry's eyes widened and they looked at each other.

But Danas still said to himself: "Only a person as talented as him can find the secret room left by Slytherin, and only a person like him who can understand the Parseltongue can control the basilisk in the secret room to attack people everywhere." ”

"Wait, basilisk?"

Harry looked at Danas with a frown.

Danas nodded: "The Basilisk, also known as the Snake King, is a monster with a huge size, a long lifespan, and deadly fangs and a pair of magical eyes, and any creature that looks at him will kill instantly. ”

"Basilisk...... It turned out to be a basilisk! ”

Harry's face suddenly showed excitement and abruptness.

"Anyone who looks at the basilisk dies instantly, but Colin saw it through the camera, so he was petrified, but the film in the camera was scorched, and Lady Loris ......"

Harry pauses at the thought of Filch's cat, but Hermione snorts.

"Water! It's water! Her eyes were full of abruptness, "Myrtle got water everywhere that day, and Lady Loris's must have seen the basilisk reflection in the water from the water!" ”

"That's right, that's it!"

Harry was overjoyed, and Ron had a smile on his face, but he couldn't make a sound yet.

But after the joy, Harry and Hermione remembered the Danas in front of them.

The two turned their heads and stared at Danas with a slight frown.

Danas ...... You know everything? ”

"That's right."

Dana nodded solemnly.

"Then why didn't you tell us before, and didn't tell the professor at the school?"

Harry's face was full of bewilderment.

"Because I don't want to get in trouble." Danas shook his head, "The Chamber of Secrets is a problem, the basilisk is a problem, the three of you are also a problem, and the mysterious person is a big problem...... I just want to get through my Hogwarts career in peace, and I don't want to get involved with any trouble.
