Chapter 171 The unlucky one is Malfoy
The little friends didn't dare to speak at first, for fear that Ron was too stressed and went crazy.
But now after Ron finished speaking, he was even more afraid to speak.
The heir is by my side?
"Hiss~" Jerry gasped suddenly: Ron opened the secret room? So scary! Could it be that Neville learned Parseltongue from Ron who talked in his sleep? !
Ron cried a lot, barely able to calm down, wiped away his tears and snot, and then held the steering wheel tightly...
Speed: I might as well die in the Forbidden Forest!
Ron sniffled, and said firmly: "If I had said earlier, Hagrid, Dumbledore, and those people might not... It's all my fault, and I won't run away from it. I want to Go to Professor McGonagall and surrender, even if I am imprisoned in Azkaban, I deserve it, I must get Hagrid and Dumbledore back!"
Although Ron looked ordinary at this time, even a little slovenly because he was crying miserably, there was a gleam of light in his eyes.
Ted patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry about Ron, no one wants to see this kind of thing. If you think about the opening of the secret room fifty years ago, the real culprit was never found, let alone you! No one will Chasing a 12-year-old boy, even an adult wizard will find it hard not to be seduced by him!"
"His bewitchment?" Harry looked at Ted suspiciously.
Hermione squinted her eyes and tilted her head, and stared closely at Ted carefully: "So, you have already guessed who the heir is, right? And the monster in the secret room... is a basilisk! It's a basilisk, right? !"
Ted raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, I admit it, and I confess it. I will tell everything..."
His words made both Neville and Jerry tremble in fright: Ron has already opened the secret room, so what are you doing?
Ted said: "I guess, the heir to the Chamber of Secrets is the mysterious person."
"The Mysterious Man!" Neville was shocked when he heard the Mysterious Man, and his fighting spirit immediately became high, and his eyes became firm.
"That's right. Remember when the Chamber of Secrets opened fifty years ago and Hagrid was framed and kicked out of school? Who framed him?"
"Senior Tom?!" Neville was startled.
"Senior Tom? Is that the diary you mentioned?" Harry asked strangely.
Ron was shocked when he heard the name: "It's Tom Riddle, that diary...he has a trophy in the showroom..."
When Jerry heard this, he suddenly realized that he had been fined to wipe his trophy and was about to throw up. "The special contribution award? Tom Riddle! I have a deep hatred with him!" referring to his trophy being wiped dozens of times.
Hermione said: "But what does this have to do with the mysterious man?"
Ted drew out his wand, leaving the bright gold letters of "Tom Marvolo Riddle" in the air, and with a slight wave, the letters changed order and became: I am Voldemort!
"I've been investigating him. Fifty years ago, when he was in school, he opened the secret room and killed a girl, the Weeping Myrtle. Then things got serious and the school might be closed. In the end he framed Hagrid for keeping eight-eyed spiders in the closet in order to calm things down..."
Ron gritted his teeth: Hagrid, raising everything will only hurt you!
"It's really him!" Neville also gritted his teeth.
Harry also frowned: "He's back again? Why is he always haunted?!"
Ted said: "It doesn't have to be back again. I guess it should be the ghost of that diary. How did it appear in Ron's hands?"
Ron muttered, "Ginny said she might have picked it up by mistake at the bookstore..."
Ted guides him: "Do you remember what happened at the bookstore?"
Ron: "What happened? Dad and old Malfoy got into a fight, and then Diagon Alley showed up...wait! You mean?"
Ron's eyes widened: Old Malfoy wants to kill me? ! The old Death Eater!
"Forget it, there is no evidence for this kind of thing. We have to solve the problem of the secret room now. Now that the principal has been driven away, there are not many people we can rely on. What we have to face is the basilisk!"
"Basilisk? What's a basilisk?" This time it was Jerry's turn to get nervous.
Ted nodded the anti-death goggles hanging around his neck, "I asked you to carry them with you, have you not forgotten?"
Jerry: "Of course I bring it! It's super cool~"
"The reason why I made this thing is to guard against the gaze of the basilisk - as long as you look at it, you will die!"
Ted told all kinds of rumors and abilities about the basilisk, which made the friends gasp.
It turned out to be a thousand-year-old snake demon? !
Why not invite Fahai here?
Ted relieved: Don't panic, I've already hired Brother Chicken.
When it comes to the basilisk, it extends to how the basilisk can come and go freely in the castle, to the pipes in the wall, and to the entrance to the secret room.
Then the friends thought of Mrs. Norris, who was the first to have an accident.
Hermione: "So, Mrs. Norris looked at the basilisk from the stagnant water on the floor of the corridor! That bathroom is where Myrtle often stays..."
Ted added: "I've looked for the myrtle ghost before, but she was cast out by some kind of magic."
…
However, when they returned to the castle, they found that the whole castle was in chaos.
Professor McGonagall's voice resounded repeatedly in every corridor of the school, especially serious: All students return to the common room and are not allowed to walk around! Violators will be fired immediately!
The little wizards ran around pushing and shoving each other as if their hair had exploded—some said that someone was killed again, and some said that the monster in the secret room rushed out, and now they are fighting with the professors!
Some wanted to go back to the lounge, some huddled against the wall of the auditorium, some wanted to leave the castle, some called mom, I want to go home... In short, the whole Hogwarts is a mess!
Then a few prefects and the student council president can't control it at all.
Ted immediately used a loud voice to himself, and then began to command: "Don't panic! Calm down!"
Ted’s voice rolled in the auditorium like muffled thunder, and like a basin of ice water, he pried open the heads of the little wizards and poured it directly. Everyone calmed down amidst the heartstrings.
"Everyone, return to the lounge in an orderly manner with their respective prefects, don't push, don't talk!"
"Trust the professor, trust the school! Dumbledore will solve it! We already have the key information about the Chamber of Secrets, and we have to inform the professors, so don't panic! You are wizards, hold your wands tight!"
The prefects and some senior students took the opportunity to organize their staff and started queuing up to the various lounges.
And Ted and the others looked at each other, asked the professors where they were, and rushed over.
And just ten minutes ago, Professor McGonagall and the others were told that there was another sentence on the wall—his bones will remain in the secret room forever!
The faces of the professors were very ugly, the secret room was opened again, and a student was taken away!
What's more frightening is that Dumbledore was driven away!
"Severus, I want you to activate the school's defensive magic. Filius, please check who was taken away. I have to find a way to open the principal's office and contact Dumbledore!"
Professor McGonagall's voice trembled a little, and she was already trying her best to keep calm.
For decades, the school has never been in such a crisis situation. And Dumbledore, the spiritual pillar, is not there!
If not handled properly, Hogwarts might be shut down!
As a result, at this moment, Lockhart, who was dressed in a fancy dress and came late, came, bragging as he walked: "Don't worry my dear friends, I already have a clue, but I can't say it yet! It won't be long I'll be able to find the Chamber of Secrets..."
Then he saw the writing on the wall.
"Well, I mean it won't be long, but I haven't found it yet."
Professor McGonagall was so angry and disgusted at the time: "That's right! Professor Lockhart, you are responsible for finding the secret room and saving that student!"
The professors left quickly, and Lockhart stood there in a daze, then looked at the blood-red writing on the wall, couldn't help shivering, and hurried to his office.
no! I have to go now! Too dangerous! It's too dangerous here! It's too late if you don't go!
Because the professors had left, Ted and the others only saw that line of writing in the corridor.
"Who was taken away?" Ron asked nervously.
He feels that there is his responsibility here.
Ted's face was a little serious: "I heard from the Slytherin students that Malfoy was not found."
In the original book, Anne was taken down. What will happen next to this change? !
"Who? Malfoy?! He is, he is pure blood!" Ron looked in disbelief.
Harry also became nervous: "That guy probably doesn't care about pure blood or not!"
"Then, what should we do then? I mean, we don't know Malfoy well, and there are holidays..." Jerry really didn't want to face a thousand-year-old basilisk.
But Neville shook his head: "At this time, whether it's Malfoy or not, we can't ignore him!"
Harry also nodded quickly: "Even if Malfoy is bad, at most he deserves a beating, not so bad as to die! Besides, do we want to watch the mysterious man succeed?!"
Ron said with a sad face: "All this is because of me, I am responsible..."
Hermione subconsciously looked at Ted: How do you choose?
Ted had a lot of brainstorming just now, and finally felt that he should follow the content of the original work as much as possible.
I have been preparing for a whole year, even last year, isn't it just to deal with the basilisk?
"This is the closest to Lockhart's office, go find him!"
Hermione said: "Lockhart has been a little too quiet these days."
Jerry pouted: "When the child stops crying, it means he has been pulled out."
"What's the use of Lockhart?" Ron also felt that the old boy might be worth a little with just one mouth.
Ted said: "At least he can block the curse!"
