Chapter 119

"Can I ask you what you're going to do...... Basque?" Dumbledore looked at Solim calmly, "You should know that a thousand-year-old basilisk is so valuable that it will make many people want to get it, dead or alive. I'm not underestimating you, Solim, but I really wouldn't recommend taking the basilisk with you. "

For Dumbledore's words, Solim felt funny, the Basque Country itself was of great value, which was clear to anyone who was a wizard, and there was no need for Dumbledore to remind him. Indeed, as long as they know the news and are indeed capable wizards, they will fight the idea of the basilisk, but the gap between wanting to make an idea and actually preparing to do it is still quite large.

"Even if you take the basilisk away, where are you going to put it?" Dumbledore asked another question, "I don't think it's a bedroom to put it down." "

"Headmaster," Solim finally realized, Dumbledore really didn't want the basilisk to leave Hogwarts, "Can I ask what you are going to do by keeping Basque in the school? Slytherin left the basilisk to defend against external enemies, I don't think that there will be a large number of enemies attacking Hogwarts in this era, this is unrealistic, without external enemies, the basilisk is basically useless to the school." After a pause, Solim continued, "Of course, I think Professor Snape might find it a pity. "

Basilisk blood, basilisk venom, and other items on the basilisk are all used by potions masters, and scales and eyeballs are also the best materials that alchemists dream of. For ordinary wizards, the basilisk is just a terrifying monster, but for those with great skills, the basilisk is a treasure trove to move.

Basilisks are of interest to people like Kettleburn or Scamander who make magical creatures their own lives, i.e. Potions and Alchemists. These people are very energetic people, and the materials on the basilisk will be turned into bottles of superb potions or precious alchemical items in their hands, and these finished products will be coveted by all wizards.

Solim is not worried about the idea that someone will come to fight the basilisk, and now the person who controls the basilisk is Sylna, she is a descendant of Selwyn, as long as there is this relationship, those bigwigs of the Selwyn family will definitely protect Syrne, in fact, Solim has asked Sirna to write a letter to her family, and I believe that she will receive a reply soon. With Selwyn as their backing, basically no one will come to feel uncomfortable.

Solim wasn't worried about whether they would directly slaughter the Basque Country for the materials, only a fool would do this kind of thing. As long as the basilisk was in hand, Sylna's status in the family skyrocketed, and for the Selwyns, it also meant a constant supply of basilisk venom and blood, as well as solid scales.

"It seems that you have made up your mind, so I won't persuade you. Dumbledore suddenly changed his tone, "Something might happen next semester, and I hope you can give Harry some help then." "

Clams, huh, I knew that Sirius' prison break had nothing to do with you.

"Headmaster," Solim's expression was strange now, "you keep doing things like this, won't you get tired?" Evans has complained to me more than once, and if you continue to do this, he will probably die of overwork. "

"Speaking of Mr. Summerby......," Dumbledore said, raising the corner of his mouth, "you have some agreement with him, don't you?"

Solim didn't want to pay attention to Dumbledore's stubble at all, and he directly changed the subject.

"And what do you want to do this time, Headmaster?" Solim asked, "Is it related to another Animagus in the school?" With that, Solim lowered his head and looked at his shoes.

Professor McGonagall was known to the whole school as the Animagus, but it was clear that Dumbledore didn't think Solim was talking about Professor McGonagall.

Dumbledore habitually looked for Solim's eyes, but he only saw the top of Solim's head. Sighing, Dumbledore didn't know how this student of his own could know so much, and it was clear that he was looking down to prevent himself from casting a deception on him, he had expected his reaction before he said those words, it really ......

"I've never underestimated you, and I've never looked at you like a child. Dumbledore said, "But once again you've surprised me, Solim. "

Dumbledore's eyes looked through the lenses and looked at Solim carefully, "How did you find out?"

Solim began to pretend to look at the headmaster's office without looking at Dumbledore.

"Evans made me discover. You don't think that rat can get past it, do you?"

"But you got Mr. Summerby out. Dumbledore straightened his glasses.

"Ah, that's right. Because at the time I wasn't sure if he was an Animagus, and even if he was later determined to be an Animagus, I didn't know who he was and what he was for. Solim saw the Sorting Hat, which shook its tip and said hello to Solim. The portraits of the past principals around him are still pretending to be asleep, but their ears are erected.

"If so...... Do you know who the rat is, and what he is trying to do?" Dumbledore understood what Solim was trying to say.

Solim nodded: "That's right, you can think so, after all, many things can be guessed after knowing the name." And his affairs were a big deal back then. After a pause, Solim then asked, "So...... Are you going to get the one in Azkaban out?"

Dumbledore didn't answer, but asked Solim a question: "As far as I've observed, he's always maintained his Animagus form at school, and you're sure you haven't seen him for what he really is." Can you explain how you determined that the mouse was his?"

"Pointy forks, big feet, moon faces, and worm tails. If you still don't know, Principal, wait until the next semester is over, and I'll explain. Solim owed, "If there's nothing else to do, I'll go first." "

This time Dumbledore didn't stop him, he was thinking about what Solim had just said. The four names just now were obviously nicknames, and they were nicknames with very obvious pointing characteristics, Dumbledore had already guessed who these four names represented, but he didn't expect Solim to know these old things so clearly, even the students of the year rarely knew the nicknames of the four of them, obviously Solim had investigated the things of the year, and many details were not let go. But this also made Dumbledore wonder in his heart: why did Solim be so concerned about these things related to Harry Potter? First the Philosopher's Stone, then the ring of the Gaunt family, and this year he took the initiative to take out Riddle's diary, what did this kid want to do? Dumbledore thought about this question for a long time, but Dumbledore was still sure of one thing, that is, Solim did not have any intentions for Harry himself, he seemed to be going for Voldemort. Thinking of this, Dumbledore also put his mind at ease for the time being.

This can't be blamed on Dumbledore for liking to think too much, after all, this involves Voldemort, and because of the existence of Horcruxes, Voldemort is very difficult to kill completely, Dumbledore failed once on Voldemort's issue, and he can't allow himself to fail again. Because he didn't have much time left, he had to make up for the mistakes he had made, and while he could still raise his wand, while he was still able to balance Voldemort, he had to put an end to Voldemort, otherwise what happened more than ten years ago would happen again in this land, which Dumbledore could not allow. So for this, Dumbledore was extremely wary of all possible hidden dangers, because he could not afford another failure.

Leaving the headmaster's office, Solim felt the excitement that permeated the entire castle. Or rather, the excitement of Gryffindor, because Gryffindor and the Headmaster's Office are on the eighth floor.

Harry and Ron's rescue of Hermione from the Chamber of Secrets and the solution to the mastermind have spread in the castle at breakneck speed. This means that students no longer have to worry about being attacked around the corner of a hallway, petrified or even killed in an unexpected place. Moreover, the mandrake has fully matured, and the petrified students will soon return to their midst, and the students are extremely excited about the double happiness, and many of the senior students who are still in class today have joined in the carnival at the behest of the professors.

But these have nothing to do with Solim, feeling the restless atmosphere in the castle, Solim walked to the floor where Evans was, since the matter is over, and Evans has indeed helped Solim a lot, and when he runs out, he will throw others aside, which is really unreasonable, Solim brought gifts to Evans, he believes that Evans will be satisfied, and will continue to keep the same line with himself.
