Ron and Hermione's expressions at this moment were very interesting.
Harry stood up with great effort. "Thanks to your information, Hermione, Parseltongue can indeed control the basilisk."
Hermione covered her mouth. "Harry, you almost died, did you know that?"
"Yes, sorry!" Justin said on the ground, "He was trying to save me..."
He got up, wiped his hands on his clothes, and formally extended his hand: "Harry, I'm sorry, I have always misunderstood you. I once went to Professor Hep, and he assured me that you are definitely not the murderer, but I was scared in that duel class..."
"Nothing." Harry pretended to be relaxed, he also extended his hand, and the two shook hands.
"A happy ending, right?" Ron said, "I don't want to interrupt the friendly atmosphere, but I think we should inform the professor as soon as possible..."
"Wait," Harry walked to a wooden door in front of him, which was half-closed.
"This can't be..." Hermione covered her mouth.
"It's possible," Harry said, "but it should have left now."
He pushed the door open and walked in.
Ron and Hermione followed him.
This is a very small room, full of dust, with a long trail that disappears at a wall.
"Do you think there is an entrance to the Chamber of Secrets here?" Hermione asked.
"We've discussed this, right?" Harry looked carefully at the place where the traces of the basilisk disappeared. "There may be only one entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, but in order to facilitate the movement of the basilisk, Slytherin may have left more than one exit in the castle's pipes."
Harry said in Parseltongue: "Open it." Justin, who had just entered, shuddered.
The wall did not react at all, which made him a little disappointed.
Ron guessed: "Harry, if this exit is really prepared by Slytherin for the basilisk, he must have set special conditions-" "
In turn, that is to say, the real entrance to the Chamber of Secrets must not have these restrictions!" Hermione said excitedly.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Ron had an expression of "the problem is finally solved", "We just need to notify the professor, no matter who it is, as long as it is not Lockhart..."
Harry said: "No, you go to notify the professor."
The three looked at him puzzled.
"Listen, go find someone, Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Happ, or even Snape."
"What about you, Harry?"
"I'll follow to prevent the basilisk from coming out again. From my conversation with it, it doesn't have a good temper. What if it can't help but attack halfway..." Harry looked at them meaningfully, "We have guessed the real entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, haven't we? See you there!"
Harry took a deep breath and ran away in a hurry.
"Let's go!" Ron and Hermione acted immediately.
"Wait!" Justin stood up, "I'll help too."
Hermione and Ron looked at each other, "Okay, if you find any professor, ask him to go to the abandoned girls' bathroom where Myrtle usually stays. The monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk. Tell the professor to be careful not to look into its eyes."
The three of them acted separately.
On the other side, Harry ran all the way towards the bathroom. Just when he was about to arrive, he met someone at the corner and the two bumped into each other.
Harry's glasses were knocked off and his whole body was in great pain, which reminded him of his experience of falling off his broom during a Quidditch match. He glanced at the young wizard opposite him and recognized him as Draco Malfoy from the man's hair color.
Malfoy was also hit hard. His expression was very dull, as if he was stunned. A black notebook flew out of his arms.
"Potter..." He said with a confused look in his eyes, and then finally came to his senses. "Potter!"
Harry picked up his glasses from the ground and stood up quickly. "Get out of here, Malfoy!" He left immediately.
Draco, who was left there, looked around in a daze, and his expression suddenly became terrified.
"Hu~Hu~"
Harry ran all the way and finally came to the girls' bathroom. He pushed the door open and entered, ignoring the water on the ground.
He carefully and tentatively said in Parseltongue: "Are you there? The monster in the Chamber of Secrets?" At the same time, he was ready to close his eyes at any time. After waiting for
a few seconds, just when he thought everything was safe, he heard a sound of "O�O�@�@.
It's the basilisk!
Harry followed the subtle sound and moved his feet. He judged that the basilisk had returned from other pipes. According to their previous analysis, although the castle of Hogwarts was full of various pipes, the Chamber of Secrets could not be hidden in the pipes, so the two must have a unique connecting passage.
And this place is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.
As a result of their discussion, the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is most likely to be where Myrtle was killed that year - the abandoned girls' bathroom now, because Myrtle enthusiastically introduced that on the day she died, she heard a boy's voice.
This boy could only be the heir of the Chamber of Secrets of the previous generation!
Following the subtle sound, Harry came to the center of the bathroom, where there was a row of circular sinks. He gently put his schoolbag aside, ignored the water on the ground, lay on the ground, and put his ear on the metal pipe of the sink.
After a sound like a sticky hose scratching the ground, the sound completely disappeared. After
waiting quietly for more than ten seconds, Harry stood up, walked around the sink, and carefully checked it. As expected, he found a small snake pattern on the side wall of a faucet.
Unable to suppress his excitement, he whispered in Parseltongue: "Turn it on."
Immediately, the faucet emitted a dazzling white light and began to rotate rapidly. Then, the sink also started to move. Harry watched it slowly disappear from his sight, revealing a very thick water pipe.
Harry walked over on the stagnant water and peered out. It was pitch black in front of the water pipe, as if it led directly to hell.
Harry was hesitating whether to go down. According to his past habits, he would definitely jump in without thinking. But last time he was put in detention by Professor Hepp and copied the reckless behavior and punishment measures of previous young wizards for two days, he felt that he could be steady.
"What are you doing?"
A very melancholy voice appeared behind him, very close to him, as if it was talking to the back of his head.
Harry was startled, his feet slipped, and he fell into the secret passage and disappeared.
The last thing he saw was the surprised expression on Myrtle's face.
My schoolbag...
there is Professor Hep's magic puppet in it!
