That sentence really scared Harry, even when he faced Quirrell last semester, Harry was not so afraid.

Quirrell's threat was visible to the naked eye, not to mention that Ike was there to help him at the time, but now no one knows who is behind it.

In the face of the unknown, people are always subconsciously afraid, which is normal.

Hermione, who was on the side, stopped talking to the two and was silent for a long time before she said, "Perhaps...... Harry, it's not you who voices it. ”

"Not me? Who's that? You didn't hear it! Harry replied.

"I just saw that Ike didn't have a very different expression, and when I met him outside the library recently, I could always hear a silk, silk sound coming out of his mouth." Hermione frowned, "I think maybe he'll hear it too." ”

"Silk, silk's voice?" Harry paused for a moment, the sound was familiar to him, but he couldn't remember when he had heard it, and it was certain that it was before he came to Hogwarts.

"yes, it sounds weird, maybe he's learning some language." Hermione nodded, "He's been a bit of a gossip since the beginning of this semester, and he doesn't even go to the library much. ”

"Maybe, if you want me to say it's a weirdo, don't worry too much." Ron chimed in, "But Harry, be careful lately. ”

"Of course, even if that voice isn't talking about me, it's about me." Harry replied.

As soon as the words ended, the three of them heard a bell ringing. Hermione hurriedly said, "It's twelve o'clock, let's go back quickly." ”

"That's right, save Snape from coming to us again."

...............

Harry and the others hurried back to their Gryffindor dormitory to rest, while Ike yawned and drank chocolate milk, and endured Fawkes lying on top of him, staring at the row of portraits of past headmasters on the opposite wall in a daze.

While in the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's office, Dumbledore gave each professor tasks and led Ike to his office.

As soon as he entered the house, he arranged for him the classic combination of cockroach piles heating milk, and asked Ike to wait for a while, and he walked into a small door, not knowing what he was doing.

Ike drank half a glass before Dumbledore came out, still with a thick book in his hand.

That book Ike is very familiar with, it is "Dangerous Magical Creatures Cultivation Method".

"It's a good book, isn't it? Mr. Stred. Dumbledore put the book on his desk and took a sip of his own chocolate milk.

"Very good." Ike knew it, but there was no trace on his face, and he just nodded.

"I remember it wasn't long after school started, and you took the book from the forbidden section." Dumbledore said, "So I thought, you must know something, and maybe you can give my old man a solution?" ”

"Of course, but Professor, I don't know much."

"It's pretty good, but before that, you have to listen to an old man's nagging." Dumbledore pushed his crescent-shaped glasses and thought for a moment before saying, "Mr. Strade, you saw that line too, you know...... What is a secret room? ”

Ike nodded, "I know." ”

Legend has it that after the establishment of Hogwarts, Gryffindor and Slytherin had a quarrel due to a disagreement over ideas, which ended in Slytherin running away. However, before leaving, Slytherin left behind a chamber of secrets, which his heir would open when the time came, unleashing the monsters inside, and removing anyone in the school who he thought was unworthy of studying magic. ”

"Yes, it's a legend." Dumbledore said, "But obviously, it's true. ”

"It looks like it does." Ike shrugged.

Dumbledore's right hand gently patted the "Cultivation Method of Dangerous Magical Creatures" on the table, with a slight scrutiny in his eyes: "Then Mr. Stred, have you guessed what that monster is?" ”

"Professor Dumbledore, you guessed that, didn't you?" Ike asked rhetorically, "It's not hard to guess. ”

"Of the magical creatures known, whether they are naturally bred or cultivated by wizards, the vast majority of them do not have a very long lifespan......

"Assuming that the monsters in the secret room have been alive until now, it should be almost a thousand years."

Acke paused, then continued, "Considering Slytherin's intentions, this monster must be very dangerous, and it can't be a race, otherwise it wouldn't have waited until now to have an accident......

"Then the range is small."

"Considering the Slytherin symbolism, the answer is obvious......" Ike replied affirmatively, scratching at Fawkes' itchy head, "Basilisk!" It's the only possibility! ”

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

Dumbledore applauded, and even the headmasters behind him who had been watching the play were in amazement.

"Excellent reasoning!" Dumbledore said, "Yes, Basilisk! I think so too. ”

Picking up the "Dangerous Magical Creature Cultivation Method", Dumbledore casually flipped to the part of the basilisk and said slowly: "Put a male egg under a toad and hatch, you will get a large snake with extraordinary skills......"

“…… It's a dazzling green, and its long teeth are extraordinarily toxic. But the most dangerous thing is its eyes, and any creature that looks directly into its yellow eyes will be killed instantly......"

Dumbledore sighed softly, "It's already clear. Sir Nicholas is a ghost and is already dead, so he is only petrified after seeing the basilisk's eyes, and Lady Loris sees it through Sir Nicholas's body, and everything makes sense. ”

"However, we don't know where the entrance to the secret room is, and how to solve it is a big problem."

Ike tilted his head, "Indeed, this is a nuisance. ”

"Moreover, I just heard the voice of the basilisk at the blood word, and it said that the next one is me!" Ike leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Dumbledore's eyes, "Professor, I need protection!" ”

"Rest assured, Mr. Stred, Hogwarts will protect its students." Dumbledore gestured, "Besides, you're well prepared, and you can avoid danger even without the help of others, don't you?" ”

"I can't guarantee that it's 100 percent fine." Ike shook his head, "Speculums, spiders, and learning snake language are just precautions, and I can only escape as much as I can......"

"And what about the others? What about other students? ”

"Hogwarts will protect its students." Dumbledore repeated, filling their cups with a wave of his right hand and taking a sip before saying, "We'll find the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets and get rid of that basilisk, but there's one thing we need your help with, Mr. Stredder." ”

"What?" Ike was momentarily stunned and asked.

"I noticed that you have a very good relationship with Miss Granger of Gryffindor, please keep an eye on Harry, just like you did last semester."

"I'm sorry." Ike shook his head, "I can't do anything about this. ”

"Professor Dumbledore......"

"I'm not Harry Potter's babysitter!"
