"Directly looking at the basilisk will kill, and indirectly looking at the basilisk will be petrified, and this petrification cannot be removed with spell solving, only with a healing potion made of mandrake."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, Snape and Professor McGonagall thoughtfully, and several students looked at each other, they were too young to know what a basilisk was.

"Professor Luo Cheng, I heard you right, basilisk?"

Lockhart spread his hands, "You mean there's a basilisk in Hogwarts?" This is impossible, the basilisk is fifty feet long, how could a monster of this size sneak into Hogwarts so openly? ”

"What if it was meant to be in Hogwarts?"

Luo Cheng talked eloquently.

"The legend of the Chamber of Secrets is not a secret in Hogwarts, and I certainly know that Salazar Slytherin left a Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts and sealed it before he left the house, and when the true heir of Slytherin came to the school, he would release the horrors inside, and let it purify the school and purge all those who did not deserve to learn magic. So what's that horrible thing? I'm inclined to think of it as a dangerous magical creature with an extremely long lifespan, and the basilisk fits this trait, and it can live for thousands of years. And the basilisk can be controlled by the Parseltongue - we all know that Salazar Slytherin himself is a Parseltongue, so his heirs are naturally likely to inherit this ability, and the heirs of the secret room opened the secret room and released the basilisk to attack the poor cat, isn't it right? ”

"But, as you say, it was a basilisk who did it, but the basilisk is not a small cat, how does a fifty-foot snake roam around Hogwarts?"

Lockhart retorted retorted, he didn't want to be robbed of the limelight by Luo Cheng, even if they had been in cahoots to make a deal with each other.

"Downpipe, basilisk can move around Hogwarts through the downpipe."

Luo Cheng directly turned on the spoiler mode, he also wanted to know who went wrong and changed the plot, and would it be Ginny who released the basilisk this time?

"Thank you for your excellent analysis, Professor Luo Cheng."

Dumbledore said, "I have similar conjectures, but whatever creature did it should have nothing to do with the students, I think they could ...... first"

"My cat is petrified!" Filch interrupted Dumbledore with a scream, his eyeballs bulging outward, "I want to see someone get some punishment!" ”

He was angry, and Lady Loris was his lifeblood.

"We can cure it, Filch. And we can't anger innocent students just because we haven't found the killer. Dumbledore said patiently, "Professor Sprout has gotten some mandrakes lately. Once they have grown and matured, I will have a medicine that will bring Lady Loris back to life. ”

"I'll make it," Lockhart interjected, "I've made it a hundred times, and I can dream and make it—"

"I beg your pardon," Snape said coldly, "I think I'm the Potions teacher at this school. ”

After an awkward silence, Dumbledore spoke.

"That's it, Filch, Professor Luo Cheng and the two deans, you go back first, if something like this happens, I'm afraid that there will be some discussion among the students, you go back and explain to the students first, and I'll talk to these students again, and listen to whether they found anything different at that time."
