Chapter 543: Already arranged for you

Chapter 543 has been arranged for you

"Who is there?"

The fat lady, who had just closed her eyes and was about to take a rest, opened her eyes doubtfully and looked at the empty corridor in front of her.

There was no response, as if there was no one there in the first place.

At eleven o'clock, the curfew has started.

In the quiet corridor, light footsteps sounded, as if someone was gradually leaving.

The footsteps did not disappear, but the corridor was still dark. No one could be seen. Only low murmurs came from the portraits on both sides of the corridor.

Creak!

A door was pushed open without warning, and someone seemed to walk in.

A strange hissing sound suddenly sounded in the dark bathroom, and a dazzling white light was seen on the faucet.

The pool started to move and spread out in all directions, revealing a very thick water pipe.

A thin red-haired girl appeared out of thin air with a book in her arms. She walked directly to the water pipe and jumped into it.

I don’t know how long it took, but a ball of light lit up out of thin air in the girls’ bathroom, completely dispelling the darkness inside. There was a clear clicking sound in the quiet bathroom, as if someone was taking pictures towards the entrance to the secret room.

The light ball only stayed in the void for a moment, then disappeared, and the bathroom returned to a dead silence.

After a moment, a man's voice sounded in the darkness: "It seems that I am quite lucky."

Albert looked at the photos in his hand, with a happy smile on his lips. As long as there are photos, the existence of the secret room can be confirmed.

That means mission.

Lo and behold, the mission has arrived.

Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

You have discovered where Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets is, why don’t you try to enter the Chamber of Secrets and explore the secrets Slytherin hides in the Chamber of Secrets.

Reward: Unknown.

Hideaway secret.

It is said that only the heirs of Slytherin are qualified to enter Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. You accidentally bumped into someone opening the Chamber of Secrets. Find out who the other person is and what their purpose is?

Reward: 10,000 experience, 2 skill points.

The secret digger.

You have accidentally discovered the location of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. Please inform the Headmaster of Hogwarts about this and prove to everyone that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets does exist.

Reward: 500 experience and gain the skill Parselmouth.

  Exploring the Chamber of Secrets should wait until Harry Potter kills the Basilisk. Anyway, he can learn the snake accent through skills, and Albert is not worried at all about not being able to enter the Chamber of Secrets.

Let the big trouble of the basilisk be solved by the savior!

After taking the photo and triggering the panel task, Albert did not plan to stay here any longer, lest if Tom discovered it, the next arrangement might explode on the spot.

The wisest choice is to leave here as soon as possible.

After Ginny Weasley entered Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, it meant that Tom had controlled Ginny to summon the basilisk deep in the castle.

It is no longer safe here.

For the sake of his own safety, Albert returned to the Gryffindor common room as quickly as possible.

To be honest, Albert was in a good mood and even his steps became lighter.

Tom Riddle thought that no one knew that he was controlling Ginny Weasley to open the Chamber of Secrets and eliminate Muggle wizards from the school.

“Look, I haven’t arranged it clearly for you yet.” A sneer appeared on the corner of Albert’s lips, and he used his brain to perfect his previous plan.

When passing the trophy display room on the fourth floor, I met Filch. The manager was smoothing the cat's fur while staring sharply at Ron Weasley who was holding the rag tea trophy. There was actually a smile on the corner of his mouth. With a pleasant smile, it seems that just seeing the unlucky students in solitary confinement can keep him in a good mood.

When Albert left secretly, he heard Filch's cold voice coming from the trophy display room, "No, wipe it clean again, don't be lazy."

Then, amid the sound of vomiting, Ron's screams were heard again.

“What the **** are you doing!”

Filch looked at Ron, who was spitting out slugs, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Wipe it clean and go back after wiping it, otherwise you won't be able to rest tonight."

“Is Ron’s slug problem still not cured?”

Albert could probably guess what happened over there, and he was speechless. He really didn't understand why Ron Weasley was unwilling to go to Madam Pomfrey for treatment. Is this the so-called concealment of illness and avoidance of treatment?

Or is it that even Madam Pomfrey can't cure his problem?

Albert took a shortcut and soon arrived in front of the Gryffindor common room.

“Nectareater.”

“Where have you been?” The fat lady was obviously dissatisfied with being disturbed again just after she fell asleep.

“Date.” Albert said without thinking.

“Who, that girl named Isobel?” The fat lady seemed to become a little excited.

“How do you know?” Albert raised his eyebrows.

“Everyone is spreading the news about you.” The Fat Lady said with a smile, “They say you are the youngest international wizard chess champion.”

“Why are portraits so gossipy?” Albert muttered, “Can I go in?”

"Of course, remember to be earlier next time. It's best to come back before curfew." The fat lady reminded her kindly, and the portrait rotated forward.

“I know, I’ll pay attention next time.” Albert walked in with a smile, sat on the armchair, and checked the map.

 Ginny Weasley reappeared in the bathroom, a little faster than Albert expected. It seemed that Tom should just control Ginny Weasley to go down to check on the basilisk.

Actually, Albert was curious whether the basilisk was hibernating, or whether it had been active deep underground in Hogwarts.

Such a long time will definitely require food. If no one feeds it, it is simply impossible to feed such a huge basilisk relying on those rats.

Furthermore, the basilisk should eat meat.

Sure enough, if you look into it carefully, it will feel strange.

After all, it is a basilisk that has lived for nearly a year. Even if it can hibernate, it still needs to eat.

Is it fed by the house elves at Hogwarts, or can the basilisk escape from the Chamber of Secrets and find food elsewhere?

For example, Black Lake?

This possibility should be unlikely, otherwise it will definitely be noticed.

Moreover, Albert has always been curious about how the basilisk attacks other people through pipes. Is it possible that Hogwarts has more pipe entrances and exits than passage pipes?

This thing is weird no matter how you look at it.

After all, the basilisk is quite large and cannot appear blatantly in the corridor.

Otherwise, if an ugly snake passes by in the corridor, it is impossible for the professors and students in the classroom not to notice it. This kind of thing will soon spread throughout Hogwarts and there will be no way to hide it.

So, how exactly is it done?

 Could it be that the basilisk had been sneaking out from the entrance of the girls' bathroom on the second floor and secretly attacking the Muggle students around it?
