Chapter 70: The Entrance to the Chamber of Secrets

Hogwarts at night is quiet and peaceful. But the fear of the basilisk still spreads among students and professors alike. Gryffindor Tower, in a brightly lit common room. The students were talking in the lounge, and the firewood from the fireplace was shining.

Harry and Ron sat in front of the fireplace, the firelight reflecting their troubled faces.

"Kevin told us that the attacker was a basilisk, but we still don't know where the basilisk is hiding, and the professors can't find it. Rong En said,

And Harry was pondering, and Jon didn't get a response for a long time, turned his head to look at Harry, and pushed him with his hand,

"Did you think of anything? Harry?"

Harry was interrupted and looked at Jon angrily. I had to say:

"The monster in the chamber is a basilisk, a giant serpent! Because I can understand Parseltongue."

Jon nodded.

"Whoever the basilisk's eyes look at, he will die. But not a single one died here, because none of them looked directly at it. Colin saw it through the camera. The basilisk scorched all the film in the camera, and Colin was simply petrified. What about Justin: Justin must have seen the basilisk through Nick, who was almost headless!Nick was staring at the basilisk, but he couldn't die a second time... When Hermione and that Kevin were found, there was a mirror next to them. I can bet you that she reminded her to look around the corner in the mirror when she met someone! Kevin just..."

Harry couldn't deduce that he wasn't Sherlock Holmes.

"Kevin must have figured out how to see through the basilisk's eyes so that he could save his life. He's a shrewd fellow!" Jon continued,

Harry nodded like Jon.

"And what about Lady Loris?" Rong En asked in a whisper.

Harry pondered as he remembered the scene on Halloween's Eve.

"Water .." He said slowly, "The pool of water that came out of the weeping myrtle's bathroom. I dare say Lady Loris just saw the reflection in the water."

Harry's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he thought about the news of the basilisk announced by the school.

"The crowing of a rooster is also fatal to it!" He exclaimed, "Hagrid's roosters have all been killed! Once the Chamber of Secrets has been opened, the Slytherin heirs don't want roosters near the castle!

"But how is it possible for the basilisk to crawl around?" Ron said, "A big ugly serpent . . . Someone will definitely see it.."

"Pipe," he said, "pipe. . . Ron, it's been in the pipeline. I always hear that voice inside the wall."

Jon grabbed Harry's arm.

"The entrance to the chamber!" He said hoarsely, "Maybe it's in a bathroom! Maybe it's in ......."

"Myrtle's bathroom. Harry said.

They sat there, too excited to control themselves, and couldn't believe it all.

"That means," said Harry, "that I'm not the only one in this school who knows Parseltongue. The heirs of Slytherin get it, too. That's why they can control the basilisk all the time. ā€

"What are we going to do?" Jon asked, his eyes shining, "Did you go straight to Professor McGonagall?"

"Let's go to the staff lounge," Harry said, leaping to his feet, "she should be there now!"

They ran downstairs. They didn't want Professor McGonagall to find them wandering down another hallway, so they walked straight into the empty staff lounge. Immediately, however, Professor McGonagall's voice echoed in the hallway, amplified by magic many times over.

All the students immediately returned to their dormitories in their respective colleges. All teachers return to the staff lounge. Act now. ā€

Harry spun around sharply and glared at Ron.

"Is something wrong again? at this time?"

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door. Harry and Jon immediately panicked, and Harry saw the dilapidated cabinet on one side, and before he had time to think about it, he pushed Jon and hid in the cabinet.

Then, the door to the faculty lounge was pushed open with a bang. Through the layers of musty robes, they looked at the teachers who walked into the room one by one, some of them looked confused, and some of them were frightened. Professor McGonagall arrived.

Something happened again," she said to the silent teachers in the room, "and a student was taken captive. Brought directly into the secret room. ā€

Professor Snape's voice came from outside the cabinet, "How can you be sure?"

"The heir of Slytherin," said Professor McGonagall, "left another line of writing. Just below the last text, it reads: Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever. ā€

"Who is it?" asked Mrs. Hodge. "Which student is it?"

"Ginny Shusley. Professor McGonagall said.

Harry felt Ron silently fall to the floor of the closet beside him.

"We must send all the students home tomorrow," Professor McGonagall said, "and that's the end of Hogwarts." Dumbledore used to say.

The door to the faculty lounge was slammed open again. On a whim, Harry thought it must be Dumbledore back. It turned out to be Lockhart's voice.

"I'm sorry for taking a nap! What did I miss?"

"The problem solver is here," Professor Snape said, "this is the man." Lockhart, a girl who has been captured by a monster. Taken into the secret room. The time has finally come for you to show off your brilliance. ā€

"Yes, Gildero," interjected Professor Sprout, "didn't you say last night that you knew exactly where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was?"

"I... This, this, I—" Loha stammered.

"Didn't you tell me you knew with certainty what the monster was inside?" Professor Flitwick also chimed in

Lockhart was dumbfounded by the question

Harry and Jon in the cabinet listened dumbfounded as the professors taunted Lockhart.

In the end, the farce ends with Gildelow going to find the entrance to the secret room. When everyone was gone, Harry and Jon crawled out of the cupboard.

"What do we do now?" asked Jon, "Ginny... Ginny, she ...... "Tears were rolling in Jon's eyes.

"Let's find the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets ourselves!" said Harry firmly.

"But ......"

"Let's go get Ginny out ourselves!" Harry looked at Jonne firmly!

In the end, the two ran towards Myrtle's bathroom.
