"He's not dead, Feige, he's just petrified" After all the students opened, Dumbledore checked Mrs. Norris's condition, and sure enough, as Liao Long said, she was petrified, but not dead.

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Harlow Hart continued: "I knew, it's a pity that I wasn't there, I just knew the spell to save her" But it was obvious that none of the professors present believed him, after all, everyone had basically confirmed that he was a pewter spearhead after such a long time.

Ignoring Lockhart's boastful performance, Dumbledore glanced at Mrs. Norris and then turned his gaze to Liao Long: "But I'm not sure how she was petrified" The petrification of the basilisk and the spell cast by the wizard are two completely different kinds of magic, for which not only Dumbledore, but even McGonagall and Snape can see.

"Ask them, it's all the good things these two did, I saw them writing on the wall," although Feige was more afraid of Dumbledore, he still said that the black cauldron had smashed on the heads of Liao Long and Harry.

With some disgust, he glanced at Feiqi Liaolong and said indifferently: "If the words on this wall are written by me, then what you mean is that my secret room was also opened by me and Harry, if so, then I won't petrify your cat, but kill her directly, of course, and you, I remember correctly, this secret room seems to be Slytherin's, and Slytherin seems to be very disgusted with people like you~" Before he finished speaking, Harry and Hermione pulled their sleeves.

"No, it's not us, Headmaster, I swear, we didn't even touch Mrs. Norris, and we didn't write the words," Harry explained hurriedly after stopping a possible clash between Liao Long and Feige.

"," Feige shouted angrily at Harry's explanation.

Startled by Feige's angry shouting, Harry took two steps back, and just as Liao Long couldn't see what he was about to say, Snape said unexpectedly: "In my opinion, Headmaster, maybe Potter, Dragon, and their friends should just be passing through here" and several people who heard Snape's words were instantly stunned, Liao Long was even more surprised, shouldn't this person like to target Harry the most? How did you change sex today?

Sure enough, Snape's next words made Liao Long take a long breath and sigh that this guy is really the same: "But I think this whole thing is still too suspicious, I don't remember anyone who saw Potter during the students' self-study at night."

"He's with me, Severus, Harry, he's helping me reply to the book lovers" Originally, Snape wanted to embarrass Harry, but who knew that Lockhart actually proved it to Harry.

"They are innocent until proven guilty," Dumbledore said very seriously, but what made Liao Long feel a little strange was that he found that Snape was smiling very lightly at this time, a very, very slight smile, which was basically impossible to see if he didn't look closely.

Dumbledore's meaning is very obvious, that is, Liao Long and Harry are both innocent and cannot be punished until there is clear evidence to prove their guilt: "My cat is petrified, I want to see someone punished" ~ After understanding what Dumbledore meant, Feige was reluctant and shouted to Dumbledore sadly.

"We'll cure her, Feige, as far as I know, Madame Sprouts has bred a very healthy mandrake, and it won't be long before the antidote will be ripe to restore Mrs. Norris, and in the meantime, I'd advise everyone to be cautious and remember," Dumbledore said to the people around him, taking a deep look at the blood writing on the wall.

"Okay, let's all go back now, by the way, Dragon, come with me" After dismissing everyone, Dumbledore called Liao Long away alone.

"Old man, did Voldemort come back and let that thing out" Liao Long asked with a frown after seeing that there was no one else around on the road.

Shaking his head, Dumbledore whispered, "No, it's not him, I'll get information if he enters Hogwarts, but the door to the secret room was indeed opened again, but the basilisk doesn't seem to be released, and the warning magic set by Professor McGonagall and I didn't react."

"Not him? Who could it be, could it be someone else who opened the secret room? Liao Long touched his chin and said.

"No way, the Slytherin Chamber can only be opened by those who have Salazar Slytherin blood, and the Slytherin descendants are now only the only one left, so it can't be opened by the human," Dumbledore said, and the two of them had already arrived at his office.

Looking at Dumbledore Liao Long with some confusion, he asked, "How do you know, in case someone can open this secret room?"

Shaking his head, Dumbledore took out a book and a ring from his drawer: "When you find the entrance to the secret room, I will go to the old Gaunt family mansion and find this book about the entire Gaunt family and such a ring"

I looked through the books that Dumbledore found, and sure enough, it recorded the method of opening the Slytherin secret room, bloodline is a must, the person who opened it must have Slytherin blood, and then it also needs to be able to speak snake language, and you can open the Slytherin secret room after using snake language to chant a unique spell at the entrance of the secret room.

And the book also records that there are actually two secret rooms in Slytherin, one is the girls' bathroom on the second floor, where Slytherin keeps his pet basilisk, where the basilisk lives, and the other is in the Slytherin students' public rest, where Slytherin's own research materials on magic and some of his personal belongings are kept.

"Uh, wait, snake language, god, could it be that the voice I heard just now turned out to be the voice of the basilisk" After seeing some explanations about snake language, Liao Long understood that the sound he heard just now was actually from a snake, and the most important thing is that he can understand it, as if Harry also heard it.

Looking at Liao Long's startled appearance, why did Dumbledore ask what was going on, after Liao Long told Dumbledore: "Don't worry about this, those who can speak snake language do not necessarily have Slytherin blood, and there are some people in the wizarding world who can speak snake language, the main reason why I came to you tonight is that I found one of that person's horcruxes"

"What! You've found one of the Horcruxes, you're not kidding, old man, didn't you say Horcruxes are hard to find? Where is the thing, take it out and let me see" After hearing Dumbledore call himself out that he had found one of the Horcruxes, Liao Long was immediately excited.
