On the other side, Ron, Hermione and Justin were searching for the professors. After seven o'clock, the young wizards returned to the lounges of their respective colleges under the leadership of the prefects. The entire castle was empty.
A few minutes later, Ron first met a professor. He ran over in surprise, and then showed a desperate expression - it was Lockhart.
Lockhart was also a member of the patrol today.
"Ha! Look what I caught? A little wizard who wanders at night, committing crimes against the wind! What's your name?" Lockhart showed a surprised expression. He walked up and grabbed Ron's arm, "Let's go, kid. You should be a Gryffindor? Professor McGonagall won't be happy... Anyway, come back to the office with me first."
"No! Let me go, Harry is in danger, we encountered a basilisk!" Ron struggled to break free from his grip.
"Basilisk?"
"The monster in the Chamber of Secrets!" Ron yelled, he was furious.
"The Chamber of Secrets... Basilisk..." Lockhart became nervous. He used his other free hand to take out a magenta handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "What are you talking about? Don't expect to deceive me with lies..."
"I'm not lying!" Ron was almost mad. He pushed hard and pulled out a wand from Lockhart's chest pocket.
"Hey!" Lockhart fell to the ground. "My wand!"
The quarrel between the two soon attracted another free existence in the castle-Peeves. He passed through a wall and saw the scene of Ron and Lockhart tearing each other.
"Students and professors fighting! Students and professors fighting!" Peeves shouted gloatingly.
"Bang, bang." Filch's footsteps came from a distance.
Ron ran away without looking back. In a panic, he found himself in a familiar corridor.
Myrtle's girls' bathroom-they had been brewing Polyjuice Potion here for a while, although now it has moved to an abandoned classroom in the basement.
Ron swallowed and carefully turned the doorknob of the bathroom.
With the experience of Myrtle, he was afraid that he would see a pair of big yellow eyes when he pushed the door open.
Ron pushed the door open with his eyes closed, "Is anyone there? Harry?"
"He's not here. Oh, that poor little thing!" A strange voice said. Ron recognized the tone of Myrtle and opened his eyes.
A silver, transparent ghost floated in the air.
"Harry has been here, where is he?" Ron wanted to ask for details, but the scene in front of him made him open his eyes wide. The sink in the middle of the bathroom disappeared out of thin air, and was replaced by a deep black hole.
He walked forward, looked at the bottomless, dirty water pipe with disdain, and asked, "Myrtle, did Harry jump in?"
"Yeah, it was too sudden. I just wanted to talk to him..." Myrtle said in a rather complaining tone, "His things are still there!"
Ron then discovered that under one of the sinks, Harry's schoolbag was piled crookedly on the ground.
"Oh, Merlin!" Ron prayed in his heart, he opened Harry's schoolbag - a magic puppet with ice blue hair was lying quietly inside.
Ron wailed.
"What's wrong?" Myrtle floated to his side and looked at the things in the schoolbag with him. She pointed at the magic puppet with interest and said, "What is this? Is it the new popular doll in the castle?" "Harry is in danger..."
Ron muttered softly.
"What?"
"I said, Harry is in danger!" Ron took a deep breath, grabbed the magic puppet, and walked a few steps to the entrance of the secret room.
A few seconds later, he turned his head to look at Myrtle and said pitifully, "Can you give me a push?"
Without waiting for her to reply, Ron jumped in fearlessly.
"Ahhhhh!" His exaggerated scream came from the water pipe.
On the other side, Justin found Professor Snape, and almost at the same time, Hermione found Professor Hep.
When Felix and Hermione came to the girls' bathroom, they saw Peeves chasing and hitting Myrtle with a box of rotten bread.
What's going on?
"Hit the belly, ten points! Hit the head, fifty points! Very good, ha ha, ha ha!"
The small bathroom was filled with Peeves' laughter and Myrtle's crying.
"Oh, God, poor Myrtle, Peeves, stop hitting me." Hermione looked at this scene sadly.
Felix waved his wand and fixed the flying bread in the air.
Peeves then noticed the two people who had just come in, "Hello, professor." He adjusted his hat on his head and greeted.
"Peeves, get out of here." Felix said calmly.
"As you wish." Peeves disappeared.
"Professor, look!" Hermione pointed to the entrance of the Chamber of Secrets.
"I saw it." Felix turned and asked another being in the room, "Myrtle, did Harry jump down?"
Silver tears hung on Myrtle's face, but she still answered, "Yes, there is also a red-haired boy with many freckles on his face."
"It's Ron!" Hermione exclaimed.
"That's him, aren't you three still here--"
"Shut up, Myrtle!" Hermione quickly stopped her words, not wanting Professor Hep to discover the secret of their secret brewing of Polyjuice Potion, and then she carefully glanced at Felix. Myrtle
whimpered, quickly flew into the innermost compartment, and never came out again.
The little witch felt a little ashamed, and she apologized to the poor ghost in her heart.
At this moment, a crisp chirping sounded. Felix looked in the direction of the sound and saw Dumbledore's figure suddenly appear. He was wearing a gray pajamas with a spotted pattern, and his long beard was all messed up - he usually tied his beard up.
Apparition, or...? Felix's eyes fell on the phoenix on his shoulder.
It was a very strange scene. On Dumbledore's shoulder stood a silver, transparent phoenix, like a patronus.
No, it was a patronus!
However, inside the silver, transparent patronus, there was a small, palm-sized bird huddled.
This is the real phoenix...
"Fawkes just came to nirvana not long ago, its power is too weak, I have to protect it with the Patronus." Dumbledore explained.
So, it is the young phoenix wearing the coat of the Phoenix Patronus?
Felix nodded, "Principal Dumbledore, Potter, Weasley and Granger found the attacking basilisk in the corridor. They rescued Justin, and then Potter took the initiative to guard the entrance of the Chamber of Secrets, and asked the other three to seek help from the professor."
"However, Potter and Weasley went down one after another for some reason."
"At present, it is unclear whether they are in danger."
"Very good, Felix." Dumbledore fell into thought, but after a few seconds, he raised his head and said to Fawkes on his shoulder, "Fawkes, you have worked hard."
The little phoenix wearing a silver coat (the same Gundam) hummed.
"Remember, the biggest threat of the basilisk is its eyes."
