Stepfather of HP

living.Some days later, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a violent argument over this issue, and Slytherin left the school. "

Professor Binns paused again, pursing his lips like a wrinkled old turtle.

"That's all the solid historical sources tell us," he said, "but these pure facts are overshadowed by a queer legend about the Chamber of Secrets. The story says that Slytherins built a secret chamber in the castle, and that other who know nothing about it.

"According to the legend, Slytherin sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that no one could open it until his true heir came to the school. Only that heir could open the Chamber of Secrets, release the horrors inside, and let it purify the school. , remove all those who are not worthy of learning magic."

When the story was over, the class fell silent, but not the usual sleepy silence of Professor Binns's class.Everyone continued to stare at him, hoping that he would continue, and the atmosphere was unsettling, and Professor Binns looked slightly annoyed.

"Of course, the whole thing is nonsense," he said. "Naturally the school has investigated whether such a chamber exists, many times, and only the most learned wizards and wizards have been hired. The chamber does not exist." .It's just a story designed to scare the simple minds."

Hermione's hand was up in the air again. "Sir—what did you mean when you said 'horrible things in the Chamber of Secrets'?" "People think it's some kind of monster that only the heirs of Slytherin can control." Professor Binns said in his dry, thin voice explain. 】

After that he spent more time declaring that the so-called chamber of secrets legend was nonsense, and after finding out that it had no effect, he talked about the boring history of magic again.

When the class was over, Ron was rambling: "Slytherin is an old lunatic who rejects all the slug students. What should those children do? Because of the magic outbreak, they killed themselves and others or were caught and burned to death by Muggles." ? If I got sorted into Slytherin I would definitely jump on the train home right away."

Hermione nodded enthusiastically at the side. She was originally a Muggle. If she didn't know that she was a wizard and received an admission letter from Hogwarts, she really didn't know what to do with her inexplicable talents, because these talents She has always been excluded in school. Although her academic performance has always been the best, she is still said to be ranked first because of those strange abilities, so she feels alienated from the Muggle world.

Thankfully she was born in the 90s, 100 years back, she could really be burned to death, not knowing what she is before she dies, Hogwarts is a sanctuary for all people with magical abilities, not just They belonged to the so-called pure-blood family, and it was precisely because of the continuous addition of hemp-blooded and mixed-blood wizards that the magic world did not rest on its laurels and was completely abandoned by the whole world.

Harry didn't think as far as Hermione did. What he thought of was what the Sorting Hat said to him during the sorting ceremony. The Sorting Hat said that he had talents, and that if he entered Slytherin, he would achieve a great career... Could it be that the Sorting Hat was at that time Discovered his talent for snake language?

Snape finally found a chance to catch Draco and dragged him into his office, "I heard you haven't gone back to sleep in your dormitory lately?" Draco became thinner, only a handful of bones remained in his body , as if it could be broken with a little force.

His face was pale and terrifying, and his blue eyes were no longer clear and bright with a hint of childish cunning, but gloomy and terrifying, with a hint of familiar madness.

"I've been in the dormitory all the time." Only his roommates knew that he didn't spend the night in the dormitory. No matter who reported to Snape, Draco believed that they would not dare to confront him face to face, and he now He was no longer afraid of Professor Snape. He only realized that his eyes were only limited to Snape and his father. He was really ignorant. There are so many knowledges and powerful people in this world that he has never seen before.

"You're a child who doesn't bother to lie." Snape looked Draco straight in the eye.

"Well, I did not spend the night in the dormitory, how many points do you want to deduct from Slytherin? Fifty points and one hundred points?"

"Draco! Notebooks are dangerous."

"I know, but I really don't know where the notebook is." The notebook is indeed dangerous, and he has noticed something wrong, but he thinks he can control it. He has shortened the time he spends communicating with the notebook to half an hour every day, and most of them It’s just asking the notebook about the black magic that he is interested in. His magic level has been greatly improved, and some little tricks that he didn’t know before made his learning much easier. The notebook has never mentioned it portion requirements.

"Draco... Weasley said that there is a spirit living in the notebook, a very dangerous evil spirit."

"I think the Weasleys are shameless thieves and liars." Draco broke away from Snape's hand, "If you just want to tell me about the notebook... I think you seem to forget that the notebook originally belonged to Mal Fu family."

"No, the notebook was entrusted to your father by a big man. If the notebook is missing, the whole Malfoy family will suffer."

"I thought the Malfoy family would suffer if people found out that the Malfoy family was earning Muggle money and betrayed that lord." Draco said through gritted teeth.

"You..." Is it because Draco knew that the Malfoy family made Muggle money and that Lucius had already joined the Phoenix Chamber camp to be so rebellious? "Everything your father did was for you."

"Oh?"

"He doesn't want you to be a marked slave like us." Snape pulled off his cuffs, revealing the tattoos. "Do you think this is a mark of honor? It represents disgrace."

"Shut up! You traitor!" Draco pushed Snape away. "I won't allow you to insult the great Dark Lord!" He ran out after saying that.

The author has something to say:

The Chamber of Secrets chapter is almost coming to an end. I didn't plan to write so many words in this article, but it suddenly exceeded the quota.

53. Fate is a bitch

After Draco left Snape's office, Snape took a piece of paper on the table, put a few drops of potion on it, folded it into a paper crane and tapped it with his wand, the paper crane flew up, and Snape followed The paper crane went out.

Whether it was the secret method passed down by the Malfoy family alone, or the magic to remove the tracking technique taught by that person himself, he finally found a way to crack it. Unfortunately, he got the Marauder's Map, but he didn't know what the secret language was. , otherwise he could catch Draco faster.

The paper crane flew ahead, and Snape followed behind leisurely...

Draco found that someone was following him, and if nothing else happened, it should be Professor Snape, but he couldn't get rid of him no matter how many corners he took or the secret path, so he had to go into the Room of Requirement in the end.

He has been sleeping in the Response Room for almost a month. Ever since he got his notebook, he feels uneasy about keeping it there. The friendship between Slytherins is precious, but Slytherins believe that everything has a price. Della The people Co bought with money were not necessarily reliable. He was afraid that someone would report to Snape, and he was also afraid that someone would steal his notebook, so he finally chose the Room of Requirement.

"Someone put a tracking spell on me," he wrote in his notebook, and Draco found out, but couldn't fix it.

"Who is it?" words appeared on the notebook.

"Professor of Potions at Hogwarts."

"Professor Slughorn??"

"No, it's Professor Snape."

"I haven't heard of this surname."

"He's half-breed, and his mother's from the Prince family."

"That's no wonder."

"What should we do?"

"You're tired, go to sleep, no one can enter the Room of Requirement unless you allow it, and when it's Christmas break, you take me home to see your father, and everything will be fine."

"Okay." The Notebook never asked him to do anything, but instead cared about him very much, and often explained to him. Draco didn't think Mrs. Norris, who was petrified, had anything to do with the Notebook. He thought it was just Filch The offended student was just playing a prank, Draco felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and fell headlong on the table.

A figure slowly floated up in the notebook, he is not just a faint silhouette now, he is already very clear, he looks at Draco and sneers, he is really a pure child, not at all like the cunning Malfoy , really spoiled.

People from these noble and rich pure-blood families are all so self-righteous and stupid. Hearing this child say that the adult version of himself really played with them and achieved a great career, but it is inexplicable The mysterious death at the hands of Dumbledore...

Dumbledore...he still remembered that no matter how hard he tried to please him, he couldn't gain his trust. Even if all the students, teachers and even the principal of the school were cheated by him, Dumbledore still looked at him with vigilant eyes Yes, but so what?He still managed to evade his eyes and ears, learned countless black arts, and even learned how to make Horcruxes. Now let him use the vitality of the only heir of the noble Malfoy family to resurrect himself.

Until then he'd still have a little accident, and the whole of Hogwarts would have no time to bother him.

Snape waited outside the Room of Requirement until midnight, but Draco still didn't come out. It seemed that he would spend the night in the Room of Requirement. Just when Snape was thinking about whether to learn from his previous life, Ebony Richie broke in through the wall. At that moment, Dumbledore's Guardian Guardian of the Phoenix Emperor flew over: "Another student has been petrified, hurry to the infirmary."

He glared at the Room of Response with resentment, Draco must have gone out through another door, he turned and went to the infirmary, already had a vague premonition of the candidate in his heart...

It really is that Gryffindor named Colin, fate!

Harry's first Quidditch match in his second year was played in the rain against Slytherin, but Malfoy didn't show up, and it was Slytherin's old Chaser who hurried on.

Harry saw Uncle Lucius in the stands with a serious expression on his face. His father sat beside him and whispered something in his ear. Uncle Lucius wanted to stand up, but was held back by his father. After saying something in a low voice, Uncle Lucius nodded, and his father glanced at himself who was waiting for the opening whistle in the sky, then turned and left.

I have to say that Nimbus 2001 is indeed superior in performance. Gryffindor fell behind in the first half hour, and the Slytherins began to feel complacent.

"What, did Malfoy finally realize that he is not worthy of being a Slytherin Chaser?" Harry flew to the top, watching the situation on the field, and the Slytherin Chaser followed.

"He thinks a weak team like Gryffindor doesn't need him," the Slytherin Chaser replied with a sneer.

Harry saw a golden shadow flash past and stop on the left side of the Slytherin Chaser. Harry tried to keep his expression calm, and then rushed towards the Slytherin Chaser. Raitlin's Chaser was taken aback, thinking that his words had irritated Harry, and when he really realized it, Harry had already chased the Golden Snitch for a long distance, and he quickly followed suit.

At this moment, something happened on the field. The two Quaffles seemed to go crazy at the same time, chasing the Weasley twins. The Weasley twins thought it was the trick of the opponent's hitter, and swung their bats to hit them. Flying Quaffle, who knows that Quaffle turned a corner in mid-air, avoided their blows, circled around and hit them again.

The twins manipulated the broomsticks to avoid the attack with a tacit understanding. The Gryffindors found that the situation was wrong and flew to them to protect them, but the two Quaffles were like missiles equipped with laser guidance devices, chasing after them. The twins didn't let go, the audience all stood up, and the teachers all took out their wands, but the speed of the Quaffle was too fast, and there were too many players on the field, no one could guarantee that their spells would work. Hit the Quaffle accurately without hurting the student.

Amidst the screams, the Quaffle hit the twins' broom, and the twins fell from mid-air.

Harry also exclaimed, he didn't care about the Snitch at all, he froze for a moment, the Snitch shook and disappeared.

There was a sudden silence on the field, "Harry!" He saw all the Gryffindor players rushing over. Harry looked down at a hole in his left chest, and he saw that hole It was only when I felt pain, and bright red blood came out, what happened?He fell headfirst off the broom, and before he fell, he thought, It's over, hurt, Father wonders if he'll let him play Quidditch again.

The Gryffindor Quidditch team suffered its worst loss ever, with the Chaser badly injured and the batterer, the Weasley twins, with a broken leg and a broken hand.

When Harry woke up from a coma, his father was holding him in his arms and feeding him the potion. His eyes were bloodshot and red. , "Don't make me quit the Quidditch team." He thought of talent again, and squeezed his father's hand tightly.

"The damn sport of Quidditch should have been discontinued long ago." Snape said angrily, feeding Harry the medicine very gently.

He was careless, thinking that if Lucius summoned Dobby back and put him under strict supervision, there would be no more accidents, but fate once again played tricks.

Hurting the Weasley twins was for revenge. It seems that the Weasley brothers made the notebook suffer a lot. They hurt Harry to warn and hold him back. I have to say that the warning worked. Before Harry recovered from his injury, he took one step He wouldn't leave Harry either, he was too eager and underestimated that man's ghost.

Who cares, if fate is so stubborn, the soul piece in the notebook will not be successful.

Snape didn't want to recall at all, he found that the Quidditch pitch was not right, and when he ran back to the sidelines and saw Harry covered in blood surrounded by everyone, he really felt his heart was hollowed out at that time His hands and feet are no longer his own, his ears are full of buzzing, Harry is no longer his responsibility to him, but his last concern in this world, the whole meaning of his life, if Harry dies Whether it is the elimination of the Dark Lord or the life and death of the entire magic world, all of them are meaningless to him.

He parted the crowd, held Harry in his arms, took out a bottle of fresh water and poured a whole bottle on Harry's wound, and poured Harry several bottles of potions until Bobby whispered in his ear that Harry had died. After he was fine, he felt that he had regained some sanity, but he refused to let others touch Harry, and carried him to the infirmary himself, where he nursed him all night.

"Who did it?" Harry looked up at his father, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that this incident was not an accident, and someone came after him.

"That man." Snape held Harry's hand even harder.

"You're going to avenge me, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Don't go." Harry gripped the corner of his father's clothes tightly, "I will find him myself when I grow up, am I the Child of Destiny?"

"..."

"I'm sleepy, can you stay with me and tell me stories like you did when you were a child?" In any case, as long as there is the Dark Mark, Harry is worried about his father facing Voldemort. Suicide doesn't make any difference.

"say what?"

"Tell me the story of the Fountain of Fortune." Harry covered himself with a quilt. The level of medical treatment in the wizarding world is really high. He took a look at his wound, which should have been a hole, but now there were only superficial scars, and luckily the one hit was not Heart, otherwise I really can't live, this is the child of destiny, the shit luck of the savior?

"Okay." Snape read the Tales of Beedle the Bard to Harry countless times, and he memorized all the stories in it. He told Harry the story of the Fountain of Fortune in rhythm.

When Harry woke up, Snape was gone. He thought to himself that different people have different fates. He often felt that he was a hundred times luckier than Harry in his dreams. He had a peaceful, happy childhood with superior material and spiritual qualities. When he was a student who was escorted and didn't have the annoying aura of a savior, who knew that Harry in his dream was slightly injured on the Quidditch field. If it weren't for that idiot Lockhart who used healing magic indiscriminately, he wouldn't even need to stay in the medical room However, he was seriously injured. The house elf just wanted Harry in his dream to leave Hogwarts, but the person who hurt him in reality wanted his own life.

"Are you awake?" Madam Chongfrey smiled, "I told Severus to go back to take a shower and change clothes. I don't allow people who don't take a bath all day and night to stay in my medical room stinky."

"Thank you," Harry thanked her. "When can I leave the hospital?"

"Now, but I insist that you live with Severus for a while, you have injured your lungs and need 24-hour monitoring."

"Thank you." Harry smiled. Is this a blessing in disguise?He can stay with his father openly and aboveboard.

"Harry!" Ron and Hermione rushed over from outside, gathered around his bed, talking in a hurry, "Professor Dumbledore is furious, but the most terrifying thing is Professor Snape, I've never seen him lose his temper like that."

"I think we should call the police... call the Aurors, this is clearly a murder." Hermione said, shaking her fist.

"Professor Dumbledore and Professor Snape are much better than Aurors." Ron glared at Hermione, "And the Ministry of Magic has been keeping an eye on Hogwarts. I heard that if there is another accident, they will consider closing the school." gone."

"What about the twins?" Harry thought of the twins who were also injured.

"They stayed in the medical room for 10 minutes before they were discharged. Your situation is terrible. Professor Snape doesn't let anyone get close to you. If I want to get closer, he points his wand at me. I believe that if I get closer He's going to kill me." Ron shuddered, he was really scared.

54. Basilisk

Harry was still lamenting that the level of medical treatment in the wizarding world was too high, and now he hated the high level of medical treatment in the wizarding world. He looked at the smooth chest with no scars in the mirror, and wondered how the wound was so good. fast?

He doesn't have to go to class these days, and stays in his father's office every day. Although he has his own bedroom, because he is injured in a lung, he is afraid that his recovery will not affect his breathing, so his father always sleeps in the same room with him, but not Ken shared a bed with him, and used polymorphing to turn the sofa into a bed to sleep on.

He no longer has to eat the meals in the Hogwarts cafeteria, but Lingling cooks and brings them to him from Snape Manor. His father also pays special attention to the nutrition, watching him eat and sleep, really Days like heaven.

The little boy in the mirror is no longer a child like a dough ball, but has grown taller and stronger due to growth and development, and his facial features have become clearer, but he is not good-looking...much uglier than when he was young...

Harry held back his mouth, he pays more and more attention to his appearance now, and always feels that he is not tall enough or handsome enough, but his father has become more and more graceful as he grows older, like wine, he may be ordinary when he is young, but when he gets older A certain age overflows with bouquet.

A towel was thrown over and precisely covered his head. His father rubbed his hair through the towel, "Why are you in a daze? My hair is so wet that I don't know how to dry it."

"How did the injury heal so quickly? I have to go back to class again." Harry said sullenly.

"I just wanted to say that you have grown taller and look like an adult, why do you still talk like a child?" Snape couldn't help laughing, just now he saw that although Harry was thin, he already had a small body that looked like a teenager, and the time to rise was like an arrow, the little boy The grown-up sigh flew away, yeah, Harry was just 12, no matter how tall he was, he was still a kid.

"I'm not a child anymore."

"Yes, you are an outstanding young man." Snape continued to laugh. He was actually the one who changed the most these years. His state of mind was much more peaceful than in the last life. Being a parent is indeed the most exhausting job in the world. , no matter how angular the character is, it will become smooth, not to mention that he has been seeing a psychiatrist non-stop, and the loneliness in his body has long since disappeared, and he has become more calm. When Li gets along, his expressions become more and more.

Harry hugged his father's thin but muscular waist, pressed his face against his father's chest, and refused to speak, "I love you."

"I love you too." Snape patted Harry's skinny shoulder because of his growth, how fast the kid grew.

"I know." Harry knew that the love they were talking about was a different kind of love, but he couldn't say any more, so he could only hug harder.

"Silly boy."

Christmas is coming soon, Hogwarts is full of laughter from the students, the attack stopped suddenly because Gryffindor blood spattered the Quidditch pitch, everyone thought the matter was over, plus The students are about to leave the school that has somehow become a little dangerous, and the students are extremely relaxed.

Hermione almost slept in the library with her sleeping bag in her arms. She spent all her time here except going to school. Ron had to accompany her to search all the snakes in the world. Go to the Muggle library.

But what snake can live for more than 1000 years and can cause petrification?Hermione is going crazy, and the Encyclopedia of Snakes won't tell you that.

Ron is too lazy to use his brain. If Hermione doesn't take this matter over, he will naturally look into it himself. Now that Hermione has taken over, he just can't move. Why does Hermione ask him to do it? what.

"What are you doing?" Harry stood in front of them with a grin. They could be said to be the most conspicuous combination in the library. Everyone else was writing papers, but they had piles of books as high as mountains in front of them.

"We're looking up the encyclopedia of snakes." Hermione didn't even bother to look at Harry, and it was Ron who answered for her.

"Oh? Have you looked up "Legendary Monsters"?" Harry flipped through the book. Hermione was smart, but she was born as a Muggle, and she tended to fall into the Muggle mindset when looking up things.

"The legend..." Hermione was stunned, and looked up at Harry, "How can the legend be believed?"

"Wizards still exist in legends." Harry smiled.

"And the three-headed dog! I said why did I always feel that something was wrong." Ron put the gun in hindsight, and Hermione almost threw the book on his head.

"Look!" Harry pointed to the window sill of the library, where a group of spiders were moving in clusters.

"It's been a while. Ron was scared to death. He didn't know what was in the castle, and scared the spiders away." Hermione shrugged, and suddenly froze, "The legendary monster..." Hermione He stood up and ran into the jungle of bookshelves in the library.

Both Harry and Ron had happy faces, what did Hermione think of on behalf of the know-it-all lady.

It didn't take long for Hermione to come back with a thick book in her arms. After looking at the table of contents, she kept flipping through the book until she reached one of the pages. She pointed to the contents of the book and read out: "English name:

basilisk (the King of Serpents)

[Also known as the King of Serpents (the)]

Ministry of Magic Classification Level: XXXXX

A snake-like magical creature with an emerald green body, it is actually fundamentally different from a poisonous snake.For a long time, people have only some rare records of basilisks.Legend has it that it came from a magic egg laid by a seven-year-old rooster when Sirius was in the sky, and was hatched by a toad.His sight is the most dangerous weapon of attack: any creature that meets its gaze directly is instantly killed, and those that meet it indirectly (such as looking in a mirror) are petrified.As long as food is available, basilisks can usually live a long time.

The English name of the basilisk is basilisk, which is the name of the legendary basilisk, but this word also comes from the Latin "basilicus", which means "royal family", so the name "Snake King" is also appropriate.As for the detail of the crested hair on the top of the male basilisk, I am afraid it comes from the "basilisk" in zoology, that is, the petrified lizard. The petrified lizard is a type of lizard.

How to tell: the male basilisk has a crest of scarlet hair on the top of its head

Attacks: Stare, poisonous teeth (the only antidote is Phoenix's tears)

Predator: The rooster's crowing will kill him.

Food: very diverse, mammals, birds, reptiles, insects are all available, spiders are his favorite

Harry and Hermione looked at each other: "I hope they are the eyes of the basilisk, and they can put you to death." The two read it at the same time. Biya is very familiar with it, this sentence is a line in Richard III.

"How do you know Shakespeare's famous lines?" Ron asked them, and Harry and Hermione froze.

"How do you know Shakespeare?"

"Running Haierbo, he is a wizard, don't you know?" Ron said proudly.

The basilisk is also a legendary existence for wizards. Most wizards don't believe in the existence of the basilisk. Even if they exist, they don't believe that this kind of creature that was banned from breeding hundreds of years ago will still survive.

"If the basilisk is still alive, it must have been alive for at least 1000 years." Hermione sighed, how many people would look up to such a rare animal in the Muggle world.

"Don't forget, it has already killed people." Harry said in a deep voice, animals that have hurt humans, no matter how cherished they are, can only be destroyed humanely even in the Muggle world.

They already knew that the monster was a basilisk, but where is it now?

In any case, let's inform the principal first. They took the books and wanted to find the principal. As soon as they walked out of the library door, Hermione stopped, "No." She stopped Harry, "The book says that you can order Basilisks only have Parseltongue."

Harry and Ron didn't move either. That's right, Harry was the only Parseltongue they knew now, and Harry became even more suspicious when they said that the monster was a basilisk.

"Dumbledore didn't know..."

"Then how do we explain that we know the monster is a basilisk?"

"Because the victims are all petrified, and the spiders are moving." Ron listed the reasons.

"Don't these principals know?"

The principal must know, and the secret room was opened 50 years ago. At that time, no one knew it was a basilisk, and no one guesses it is a basilisk now. Has no one checked it?No, the main reason is that there are too many spells and monsters that can cause human petrification. Needless to say, Medusa can do it, there are several potions that can do it, and there are even black magic spells. The basilisk is really famous for its deadly gaze, which is why the basilisk has not appeared for hundreds of years, and the formula of potions such as mandrakes that can cure petrification has been passed down to this day.

There are many petrification cases in Greek mythology alone, and the murderer in each case is different.

So unless they say something about Harry being a Parseltongue, it's going to be hard to convince people.

"Let's go find my father." Harry led them all the way to the cellar, receiving strange looks from the Slytherins along the way. They were used to the dean's stepson often haunting the cellar. What happened to the two Gryffindors?

Some little snakes have already begun to swallow snake letters eagerly. I believe that Slytherin appears on Gryffindor's territory, and the effect is similar.

After hearing what they said, Snape stared at Hermione and Ron without saying a word, and Ron's legs trembled in fright, "You really deserve to be Miss Know-It-All." He really couldn't accept it, because he Taking advantage of the rebirth, she knew it was a basilisk from the very beginning. She thought that Hermione would not be able to find out the existence of the basilisk this time, but unexpectedly she found out. This smart girl is definitely better than most adult wizards.

"Ten points from Gryffindor." Snape said through gritted teeth. If they reported to the headmaster, Dumbledore would definitely add fifty points...everyone...he felt better thinking about it.

"I'm going to see the headmaster, before that, Harry, do something for me." Snapera opened a drawer on his desk, "Do you know this?" He took out a plain-looking piece of parchment.

"The Marauder's Map." Harry said with a smile. He had been looking for this map for two years, but he didn't expect it to be with his father.

"I guess that stinky dog ​​Blake told you too." He didn't want to give Harry the Marauder's Map, because he was afraid that he would use this map to make troubles, not to mention that there are some secret passages in this map that can be directly entered and exited. Hogwarts.

"Yeah, I can't find it all the time. They are really serious. If they want to pass on the map to future generations, they should also make a backup copy for me." Harry held the map and tapped it lightly with his wand: "I solemnly swear I don't do good things." The parchment opened loosely and turned into an extremely detailed map.

"Use this map to monitor Draco." Harry was injured so he had no time to take care of Draco, but he heard that he started to go to class normally, who knew that he started to disappear again in a few days, and today he was gone for a whole day People saw him.

"Yes!" Harry agreed with great joy.

1. Lines from Shakespeare's Richard III

2. Haierbo is one of the earliest names of the basilisk

There are indeed too many legends about petrification, and there are many in Greek mythology alone, so it is really normal that no one guessed it was a basilisk at the beginning.

55. Chamber of Secrets II

As soon as Snape left, Ron and Hermione seemed to be revived and became lively again. Hermione fumbled around in the office, and was attracted by the big bookcase after a while, while Ron It was with Harry looking at that strange map.

"This is the Marauder's Map. My dad made it with his friends when he was studying at Hogwarts." Harry pointed to Ron one by one. There are not only several unknown secret passages on the map, but also With the movements of everyone in Hogwarts, Harry pointed to the footprints walking towards the headmaster's office, marked with Severus Snape.

In the other direction, Professor McGonagall was also walking towards the principal's office, and it seemed that they were going to get together again to discuss something.

Harry and Ron searched with wide-eyed eyes, and finally saw the small footprints marking Draco Malfoy in the corridor near the eighth floor.

What was he doing there near Gryffindor Tower?

The footprints moved on the map, and the sign marking Draco Malfoy's name flickered with the movement of the footprints, which was completely different from when other people moved.

What's wrong with Malfoy?

Harry frowned; he hadn't heard of this happening.

Hermione also came over and looked at the map with them. This map is very similar to the monitoring system in the Muggle world, except that the monitoring system always has dead ends, but there are no dead ends on the map. Harry and Ron are busy monitoring Malfoy , Hermione was studying the Marauder's Map itself.

The small footprints marking Malfoy lead to a secret passage leading to the third floor.

Malfoy walked into the girls' bathroom on the third floor, "What is he doing in the girls' bathroom?" Malfoy is a person who values ​​face the most. Once news of his going to the girls' bathroom gets out, he might have to wear a mask before going out. .

"That's Myrtle's bathroom." Hermione glanced at where Ron was pointing.

"?" Harry and Ron both looked at Hermione with doubts.

"Myrtle is a ghost of Hogwarts. It is said that she was a student of Hogwarts. She cried all day in the bathroom, which made the bathroom leak everywhere. No one would go there, so the bathroom It's wasted."

As they were talking, the small footprints that marked Malfoy suddenly disappeared.

They thought they were distracted while chatting, and they didn't see Malfoy leaving the bathroom. Who knew that they couldn't see Malfoy's shadow after searching the whole map. Did he disappear out of thin air?Not available at Hogwarts
