Chapter 618： Secret (2/2)
”The stare of the basilisk is not to let people die, but to petrify them.”
If it weren't for Dumbledore, others would think that the victim was dead.
”Hermione, I didn't expect you to find the truth about the attack!” Ron admired his friend. ”I dare say that no one at Hogwarts has known that the monster in the secret room is a big snake for thousands of years.”
”No.” Hermione shook. ”Actually, Albert discovered this secret before me.”
At this moment, Ron and Harry were a little stunned, but they heard Hermione continue to say: ”Albert suggested that you tell Professor Dumbledore everything you know.”
”Why didn't he go by himself?” Harry asked puzzledly.
”He thinks Professor Dumbledore should also be aware that the monster in the secret room is the basilisk, but can't find the entrance to the secret room, and the heir of Slytherin.” Hermione looked at Harry, waiting for the other person to make a choice. .
”If Dumbledore knows the secret, what is the point of me telling him?” Harry shook his head.
At this moment, he hesitated.
After seeing Harry hesitating, Hermione guessed the other party's choice, sighed, and exhorted: ”Don't spread this matter.”
”Why?” Ron asked.
”Dumbledore didn't tell everyone about it, so naturally he had his reasons.” Hermione took out Albert's rhetoric. ”If you make everyone know, it's easy to cause panic, and they will Think Harry did it.
”It's not me, you know.” Harry said.
”I know it's not you, but others don't.” Hermione reminded: ”Don't forget, now everyone knows that you are a snake-like voice. You can control a snake with a snake-like voice. Controlling a basilisk is no exception. No matter how you look at it, you are most suspicious.”
After listening to Hermione's words, Harry couldn't help but shiver. He could already imagine how others would think of him when they knew that the monster in the Slytherin Chamber was an ugly basilisk~
Ron looked at Harry equally nervously. He knew Hermione was right. If he knew Harry and he heard the same news, he would think Harry was the so-called ”Slytherin heir.”
The evidence is that he is a Snakeman, and Snakeman is an evil wizard, and only Snakeman can control the basilisk.
”Then what should I do?” Harry looked at Hermione nervously.
”We can only wait for Principal Dumbledore or Albert to find the entrance to the secret room, or catch the Slytherin heir.” Hermione also had no good way.
”Why don't we investigate it ourselves?” Ron said to Harry, ”I think we can...”
”Do you know where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is?” Hermione asked, turning her head to look at Ron.
Ron stopped talking immediately.
Yes!
If it hadn't been for Hermione to tell them, neither he nor Harry knew that the monster in the secret room was a basilisk.
”The basilisk should be huge!” Harry said of his doubts, ”how on earth did it wander around the castle without being discovered by students and professors?”
”The pipes in the school extend in all directions. I doubt that the basilisk can move in the pipes.” Hermione said her own point of view, ”and the sound can go far in the pipe.”
”Then we can find the location of the secret room through the pipe.” Ron was satisfied with his wit.
”Even if the pipes in the castle extend in all directions, not all the pipes are big enough for you to get in, and they are probably choking.” Hermione said quietly, ”Albert thought there might be only one entrance to the chamber, and it's secret enough. It also needs certain opening conditions, whether it was found long ago.”
Ron opened his mouth, and finally reason told him to close it.
