Chapter 125: Stubborn Timeline
The first intimate encounter between the two young wizards soon ended with Hermione taking the initiative to retreat.
What followed was a deep embarrassment.
Neither of them was embarrassed to talk anymore, looking east and west, pretending that nothing had happened.
Thankfully, Harry was able to ease the strange atmosphere in time, and he looked intently at the piece of paper in his hand, unconsciously reading out the words on it.
"Of the many terrible beasts that live in our kingdom, none is deadlier than the basilisk."
"It can live for hundreds of years, and whoever stares at the eyes of this giant snake will die immediately, and the spider will run away when it sees it."
After reading this paragraph, Harry immediately looked up at Hermione: "Could it be that the real murderer is actually a basilisk?" ”
"So I can hear it because it's a snake!"
The little witch nodded proudly, confirming his suspicions.
Ron also understood at this time, but he still couldn't figure it out: "But if you look at it, you will die, so why didn't Hermione and the others who were attacked die?" ”
"Mirror." The little witch explained, "I didn't look at it, I saw it through the mirror. ”
Harry, who had learned to draw inferences, added in time: "No one has really looked at it, at least not directly." ”
"Colin saw the basilisk through his camera."
"Justin... Justin must have seen it through Nick, who was almost headless. ”
"Nick and the basilisk looked at each other, but he was a ghost and couldn't die again."
"And Hermione through the mirror."
Although Ron felt reasonable, he couldn't help but ask, "What about Lady Loris?" The cat didn't have a camera or a mirror. ”
At this time, Hermione replied quickly, "It's water." ”
"Remember? There was a lot of standing water on the ground that night, and all Lady Loris saw was the reflection of the basilisk. ”
At this point, as the mystery was solved little by little, the three little wizards were a little excited.
Harry flipped through the pages in his hand and said excitedly, "The spider runs away when it sees it, and that's what Aragog said at the time!" ”
"But how does the basilisk move around, such a big disgusting giant snake will definitely be bumped into by someone."
The little wizard who couldn't figure out where the knot was, couldn't help but scratch his ears and cheeks a little.
And the clever little witch already had the answer: "Pipes, which make use of the Hogwarts pipe system." ”
After hearing this, the two little wizards suddenly realized, and Harry seemed to think of something: "Aragog said before that girl died in the bathroom 50 years ago. ”
"What if she didn't leave after she died?"
Hermione and Ron understood it and said in unison, "Crying myrtle!" ”
Now, it seems that the three of them only need to find Myrtle and ask her what happened back then, and they should be able to find the basilisk and the legendary Slytherin heir.
Unbeknownst to them, just as the three of them were preparing to act, Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly came over the school radio.
"All students, go back to their respective dormitories at once."
"All professors, please meet in the hallway on the second floor at once."
If it was an ordinary little wizard, the first reaction after hearing the radio would definitely be to turn around and go back to the dormitory, but the three of Harry did not have this consciousness at all.
Without thinking, they rushed straight to the second floor of the castle.
Then at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, he hid and secretly observed the corridor not far ahead.
At this time, the staff of Hogwarts had already assembled, but the number of people was a little small, and it seemed sparse.
Hagrid was captured, but Lockhart didn't come.
The most important mage, Dumbledore, was also missing at this time.
Professor McGonagall, who seemed to have lost her backbone all of a sudden, said to the professors with a slightly panicked expression, "As you can see, the heir of Slytherin has left another word. ”
Madam Pomfrey, the school doctor, couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim when she saw the blood-colored handwriting on the wall: "What we are most afraid of has happened!" ”
"A student has been kidnapped by a monster and taken to a secret room!"
Professor McGonagall told the crowd worriedly, "All students must be sent home immediately, for Hogwarts is going to close permanently." ”
In her heart, the older cat lady is constantly complaining about Dumbledore.
Why did he go to the Ministry of Magic when the school needed him the most, and was there anything more important than the safety of the children in the school?
At this moment, the brightly dressed Lockhart was late, and he didn't know that the situation was urgent, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I took a nap, what's the matter?" ”
The flirtatious tone made everyone present frown.
Even the three Harry, who were hiding, couldn't help but show disdain.
Snape, who had long been dissatisfied with this liar, sneered, "There's a girl who has been captured by a monster, Lockhart, your chance has finally come." ”
"My chance?" Lockhart still looked like he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Snape grimaced, "Didn't you say last night that you know where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is?" ”
When the liar didn't know how to react, Professor McGonagall joined in the taunt: "That's it, it's up to you to deal with the monster, Gildero." ”
"After all, your skills are so superb."
The professors also looked at him with indifferent eyes, as if in an instant, Harlot, who was quite popular not long ago, became the enemy of the whole people.
In such an unfavorable situation, no matter how strong Lockhart's psychological quality is, his expression is a little unnatural: "Okay, wait until I go back... Prepare. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, but his hurried back looked more like he was on the run.
Retracting her gaze from the liar writer, Madam Pomfrey turned her head and asked, "Who has the monster captured, Minerva?" ”
Professor McGonagall said a name in a heavy tone, "Ginny Weasley." ”
Ron, who was still eavesdropping not far away, immediately changed his face when he heard the name.
After that, the professors dispersed and began to prepare for the closure of the university.
After they left, the three little wizards could finally read the words left by the heir on the wall.
Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever! 】
At this time, Ron was even more panicked, and kept chanting his sister's name, and his soul was more serious than when he lost Spot.
Lu Wu, who was in the office, but silently observed all this, was very puzzled.
"Riddle's Diary" had already been burned by him as firewood last night, why did the plot of Ginny's abduction still happen?
So, he prepared to go to the secret room to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the office, he happened to meet three little wizards who came to him.
Ron bore the brunt of the attack, and fell to his knees with a puff, crying and begging, "Please, professor, save my sister." ”
