Chapter 120: Diffusion
Tifa is gone, and Nicks picks up the books she left behind, intending to go out to the library to return them. But George and Fred immediately grabbed him.
"Wait, Nyx, at least explain what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is."
Nick was pulled back, so he had to sit down, looked at the people around him, and said with a smile: "I'm not sure, but it's most likely a basilisk." ”
Seamus sat beside him and took the book, flipped to the place about the basilisk and read it aloud.
"There are many terrible animals and yokai haunted our land, but none are as eccentric and deadly as the basilisk. This snake, which can grow to the size of a gigantic man, is born from an egg hatched by a toad. Spiders run away at the sight of the basilisk, the basilisk is their natural predator, and the only thing that can make the basilisk run away is the crowing of the rooster, as this is fatal to the basilisk.
Its killing methods are also quite creepy, in addition to its venomous and lethal fangs, the basilisk also has a pair of eyes that can kill, and any creature that looks directly into the basilisk's gaze will die instantly. ”
When he had finished reading, everyone looked at each other, and those who were attacked were petrified, and no one died. Seamus continued reading. "Any creature that looks directly into the basilisk's gaze dies instantly, and creatures that intersect indirectly will be petrified. As long as the food is sufficient, the basilisk can usually live for a long time. ”
The people around them began to whisper earnestly, they were lamenting the strength of the basilisk, and at the same time, they were discussing how to deal with the basilisk, and some people lamented that the people who were attacked were lucky that no one looked directly into the basilisk in the eyes.
It's not that no one questioned, but there were more believers, and they criticized the unbelievers very badly.
When everyone is gone, the Knicks and Seamus go out together, and he wants to return the book, and now everyone is staring at the book, and if he loses it, he won't be able to find it.
Coming out of the library, I saw several Gryffindor seniors rushing in, and it didn't take long to bring the book out.
Nix sighed: "This is too anxious, I came to borrow books without dinner." ”
"Of course it's urgent, it's a matter of life." Seamus also wants to check out the book, but is stopped by Nicks.
The two went downstairs together, intending to go to the Great Hall for dinner, and between the third and second floors, they met Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore. Professor McGonagall handed Dumbledore a letter, looked at Dumbledore worriedly, and asked, "Is there no way?" ”
Dumbledore opened the letter and looked at it, saying, "Don't worry, Minerva, it's all right. ”
Knicks asked, "Headmaster Dumbledore, can I excuse me?" ”
"What's the matter?" Dumbledore asked.
"Seamus wants to ask you about alchemy."
"No problem, what do you want to know?" Dumbledore laughed.
Seamus: "Headmaster, am I fit for alchemy?" ”
Dumbledore: "In my opinion, there is no suitable fit, as long as you want to learn, you can learn." ”
"And does my ability to control the flames help me learn alchemy?" Seamus asked again.
Dumbledore smiled and replied, "Perhaps, alchemy is too early for you, you should accumulate more knowledge, so that you can make achievements in alchemy." If you don't accumulate knowledge, you won't be able to learn fire control, even if it helps alchemy. ”
Seamus nodded. "I see, thank you Headmaster Dumbledore."
Nicks salutes the headmaster and leaves with Seamus.
Lao Deng looked at the departing Knicks and fell into deep thought, he had just spied on the Knicks' emotions again, and he still kept asking for help.
The Great Hall was crowded, and the Gryffindor's little wizards spread the word about the basilisk.
Nicks and Seamus sat down for dinner, and Neville stepped in and said, "Everyone knows that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is the Basilisk. ”
"What about the heir?" Seamus asked.
"No one mentioned it, neither Harry nor the Lestrange siblings were cleared, and no one thought they were heirs." Neville replied.
Neville wanted to say something, but a girl sat down next to Knicks, and she asked softly, "Knicks, why didn't Tifa come?" ”
The Knicks turned his head, and it was Luna, the first time she had taken the initiative to sit down. He was excited: "Haven't you eaten yet?" ”
"Well, not yet, but I've heard rumors that Tifa and Hermione know what the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets are. Hermione was from a Muggle family, so she was attacked, but the rumors didn't say what happened to Tifa, was she okay? Luna said.
Nicks comforted: "It's okay, Tifa stayed in the common room and was not attacked, and Hermione took the initiative to go out to find the monster for verification, so she was attacked." Don't worry, it's just a basilisk, you haven't encountered it yet, and you'll be fine. ”
Luna was relieved, and she said to Nicks, "Bring her some sweets for dinner, she likes it very much." ”
Nicks smiled: "Don't worry, I'll go to the kitchen to find the house-elves in a moment and prepare a good dinner." ”
On the other side, Harry and Ron sat at a great distance from the Knicks. Ginny sat beside them, listening to their plans.
"The diary is in Tifa's hands, and we can't go to the girls' dormitory to take it out." Harry said.
Ron: "The siblings must know who the heir is, otherwise why don't they hand over the diary." ”
George interjected, "I don't think it's good for you to want to read a little girl's diary. ”
Fred answered: "No one wants to hand over their diary." ”
Ginny's face was a little red, the twins were right, she had written something in the diary, and it was a good thing that the journal would have absorbed all the contents, otherwise Harry would have seen her and it would have been over. "I don't think that's necessarily the diary you want."
Ron looked at Ginny, stopped eating, grabbed Ginny and said, "Ginny, you live together, right, you have a chance to get back the diary, help us, as long as we get the diary, we can find the heir." ”
Ginny broke free of Ron and retorted, "I don't think Tifa has what you want. ”
"But she has the book that Knicks lost, and the diary was lost with Knicks's book." Ron Road.
Harry stopped Ron, "Ginny is right, not Tifana. ”
"What?" Ron was puzzled.
"It's not her, we were wrong, Ron. She wasn't the heir, so there was no need to steal the diary, and I think the book was deliberately placed at Tifa's bedside to frame her. Tifa wasn't stupid, she really stole the diary, she wouldn't have taken the book out, she would have hid both. Harry explained.
Ginny was stunned, she just forgot to put the book away, how did she become a frame-up Tifa.
Ron picked up the knife and fork again and ate it: "What then?" ”
"In the evening, call Knicks, and we'll go to Hagrid and ask him what he knows." Harry said.
