"Professors, I don't know if you've heard the old rumor that 'Slytherin left Hogwarts with a secret room where his noblest things and all his knowledge were kept, waiting for the heir to come and open it to purge all who don't qualify.'"

Dudley slowly uttered his 'guess'.

Compare that to Lockhart

"It's a dark wizard, and he brought Medusa with him," and he didn't make up his story for a long time.

What did the Dark Wizard do with Medusa at Hogwarts? Birthday party?! Or is it just to petrify a cat? But what does this have to do with the Chamber of Secrets?

Oh, maybe that Medusa's name is Chamber of Secrets.

"Professor Dumbledore, as far as I know. The Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago. So there was a little witch who paid with her life. ”

"The Ministry of Magic caught what he thought was the 'murderer' and fired him, but. I don't think that's the case. ”

Dudley threw a bombshell again, and as he said he looked at Dumbledore, who was looking at him.

This time, Lockhart didn't speak again, because he was already thinking about whether to find an excuse to resign from his professorship.

Someone died once fifty years ago!!

Who knows who will be next.

He still has a great youth, and there are countless gold gallons to earn, so there is no need to stay here.

But it's a bit reluctant to let him leave now, he already has a premonition that his next book "Hogwarts and Me" will be a big hit, it's a basilisk, alas, a magical creature that hasn't appeared in more than 400 years, and it will definitely be able to defeat the damn "Dragon Lance Chronicle".

"I think this matter should be referred to the disciplinary unit"

Dudley was interrupted by Dumbledore.

"Dudley, I think this matter should be handled by the professor, you are still too young." Dumbledore said that maybe he would have calculated something, maybe he wasn't a good professor, maybe he wasn't a good older brother

But he's a good guy at heart.

Now that he knew what it was, it was much easier to deal with, and the basilisk was afraid of roosters, and he remembered that Hagrid had a lot of roosters.

"Professor Dumbledore. Remember what you promised me, right? ”

Dudley shook his head slightly, not going to argue anything, but said lightly: "This is the second year, it seems that Hogwarts is not safe again." ”

Dumbledore:.

The petrification of Lady Loris didn't cause much of a stir at Hogwarts, as Lockhart said it was just a cat, and more of an after-dinner conversation for the young wizards.

It left a lot of doubts in the hearts of the little wizards.

Who is the one who opened the secret room.

There are many opinions on this issue, but there are many people who speculate that Dudley did it. Dudley didn't participate in the Wizarding Card Contest that day, and although he was standing in the audience, it was not impossible. As for Harry. Because he was playing cards the whole time, he didn't have time at all, so he wasn't suspected, unless he could clone in front of Dumbledore.

This is most widely used in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, with the exception of Slytherin

They didn't think Mr. Dursley was that stupid, and that there was no need to do such a pointless thing.

They prefer to believe that it is Crabbe or Goyle who is the heir to the Chamber of Secrets.

The professors formed a patrol and patrolled the castle from time to time, but naturally they found nothing, and they found no trace of the basilisk.

In fact, it is not completely nothing, at least during this period the frequency of student night trips has dropped to the lowest in Hogwarts' history since the school was founded.

Dudley had tried to get the domesticated Cornwall elves to reach the vault from the girls' bathroom on the second floor in an attempt to find the basilisk.

It's not Dudley's style to let such a dangerous thing skewer around Hogwarts Castle, and if anyone does, they won't necessarily be lucky enough to just be petrified.

Sadly, it was as if the guy had disappeared and was completely missing.

When Dudley tried to investigate further, he was stopped by Dumbledore.

"You should try to believe in the professors' abilities, try to believe in us."

Dumbledore said.

"Okay." Dudley also agreed to him very decisively.

He then made a special wizard card for each of his comrades in the disciplinary group, and motioned for them to keep it personal.

This wizard card may not be able to resist the basilisk's Eye of Death, but it can act as a mirror reflection to reduce the lethal effect to petrification.

After announcing the opening of the secret room, that passage disappeared as if it had never been.

No more anomalies occurred.

And so the days passed.

After the initial eager attention of the young wizards, as time passed, the matter gradually faded from the eyes of the little wizards.

People's attention is time-limited, and when the heat passes, people will forget.

The calm lasted until the 14th of February.

This day is known as Valentine's Day.

Of course, if you want, there is a Valentine's Day every month, what White Valentine, Black Valentine, Rose Valentine, and even Green Valentine.

On this day, when the little wizards stepped into the auditorium, they thought they had gone to the wrong room, and the four walls were covered with large and dazzling pink flowers, and the whole room was decorated in pink. There were many heart-shaped confetti falling from the light blue ceiling in the sky, and the air was filled with a disgusting aroma.

"What happened? Has Hogwarts been attacked by the Pink Demon? ”

Ron pointed to everything around him, speechless in surprise.

"I think someone is getting nervous." Dudley gestured to Lockhart, who was dressed in bright pink robes in the professorship, and the professors sitting next to him all had grim faces and bowed their heads, trying not to let others see their expressions.

Pink is a color that not everyone can control.

Obviously, Lockhart wasn't among them.

"Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!" Lockhart shouted happily, ostentatiously, "So far, 59 people have presented me with greeting cards, and I would like to thank them!" Yes, I took it upon myself to arrange this little surprise for everyone."

"He said 59?" Hermione mentioned it, and then silently jotted it down, it was an important clue.

"Why do I have a bad premonition?"

Looking at the high-spirited Lockhart on the stage, Harry suddenly said.

As long as Lockhart arranges the planning, it will not be good.

Ron chimed in, "No, Harry. I have this hunch too. ”

"I have that hunch too." Neville said the third.

And then there's Malfoy

"I hope my hunch doesn't come true."

The next moment their hunch was fulfilled
