Chapter 115
Harry didn’t care too much about the grades.
It can be said that no one in the four colleges cares about grades now, including the professors.
Taking advantage of the weekend, he took Ron and Hermione to find Hagrid, the person involved 50 years ago.
Hagrid seemed very happy to see the three people coming. He warmly invited the three to sit down, and then poured black tea and put rock cakes on them.
Harry and Hermione didn’t touch the biscuit, but just took a sip of the tea.
It was not something for normal people.
Ron didn’t have time to drink tea, he wanted to play with Fang.
He felt that Fang was particularly enthusiastic about him.
Harry took a look. Hagrid told him that Fang was actually very timid. Maybe Ron was the only one present and he was not a threat to Fang at all.
“Hagrid, you should have heard that the secret room in the castle has been opened. Harry said bluntly.
Hagrid nodded seriously.
“I heard from Dumbledore that you were the one who experienced the opening of the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago. Do you know anything?” Harry asked.
Hagrid looked unhappy, obviously not wanting to recall the painful things that happened to him.
“Now some students have begun to be hurt. We need to find out what kind of monster is in the Chamber of Secrets as soon as possible so that we can know how to deal with it.”Harry saw his expression and continued
“Yeah.” Hagrid was still kind-hearted and didn’t want his students to get hurt.
He thought about it and said,”Actually, 50 years ago, I was also very confused. I was suddenly arrested, and then I was tried and sent to Azkaban!”
At this point, Hagrid couldn’t help but shuddered, it seemed that Azkaban was very scary.
“If Dumbledore hadn’t protected me, it would have been more than just my wand being broken.”
“Dumbledore said you had an eight-eyed spider?” Harry asked
“It’s called Aragog, he was just a child at the time, and under my watch, it would never hurt a student.”Hagrid said quickly
“Of course I know that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is not it. After all, the eight-eyed spider does not have the magic to petrify people.”Harry waved his hand, asking him to calm down.
“Did he look for it afterwards? There are many eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest now.”Harry said
“Of course, I put it in the Forbidden Forest, and then found a wife for it. Now all the eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest are its descendants.” Hagrid stroked his beard proudly.
“Oh?”Harry’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Hagrid with a softer look.
This half-blood giant was really his lucky star.
It turned out that the wild monster base was created by Hagrid.
“The spider has a keen sense of perception. Did it tell you what the monster in the secret room is?”Harry continued to ask
“No, Aragog doesn’t want to talk about it, and it looks like he’s very afraid of the monster in the Chamber of Secrets.” Hagrid shook his head regretfully and said
“Hermione, we have a lot of clues now. Even the eight-eyed spider is afraid of this beast. Its eyes can petrify people and even kill people. You read a lot of books. Can you think of what kind of magical animal it is?” Harry looked at Hermione and asked
“Hmm?” Hermione frowned and pondered the books she had read.
“Isn’t that a basilisk?”Hagrid heard Harry’s words and said without hesitation.
He really knows a lot about magical animals.
“Yes, it’s the basilisk!” Hermione nodded in agreement.
“Briefly explain. Harry said
“Basilisks are rare.
It is said that roosters lay eggs when Sirius is in the sky, and toads hatch them.
Its eyes are the most dangerous weapon of attack: any creature that directly intersects with its eyes will be killed immediately, and any creature that intersects with it indirectly (such as when seen in a mirror) will be petrified.
Its teeth are highly poisonous and even have strong side effects of black magic.
The snake skin has the ability to be invisible and has extremely high defense.
As long as there is enough food, the basilisk can usually live for a long time.
“Hermione began to talk about the knowledge about basilisks she saw in the book.
“Weakness?” Harry nodded.
“Afraid of the sound of a rooster crowing! When a rooster crows, the basilisk will hide away!”Hagrid said immediately
“Very good!” Harry nodded with satisfaction.
“Hagrid, how did the Ministry of Magic find out that you kept an eight-eyed spider? You kept it in your bedroom?” Harry asked
“Of course not, I hid it well, yes, maybe someone reported me.”Hagrid first refuted, then muttered
“Who? Hermione asked curiously.
Hagrid didn’t want to say
“Tom?” Harry asked tentatively.
“How did you know that?” Hagrid opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief.
“It was him!”Harry nodded in understanding. It turned out that what he said before was right. He should put all the bad things on Senior Tom.
“I, I actually have no evidence. Tom is a very good person and he would not do this.”Hagrid scratched his messy hair. He was betrayed by others and even counted money for others.
Harry looked at Hagrid’s honest face. It seemed that Hagrid didn’t know that Tom was Voldemort.
He thought that he was an excellent male student president.
Since Hagrid didn’t know, Harry didn’t plan to tell him about it, so as not to scare this big fool.
“Great, Hagrid, you have helped Hogwarts a lot, I will ask Headmaster Dumbledore for credit for you.” Harry smiled at him
“No, no, I didn’t do anything.”Hagrid blushed and waved his hand.
“Now that we know what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is, I will let Dumbledore and the others take action to deal with it without further delay to avoid more accidents.”Harry said to several people.
Ron nodded frantically, his face was already covered with saliva from Fang’s licking.
Harry went to Dumbledore’s office and explained the matter to him.
Dumbledore nodded, waved his wand, summoned the Patronus, and asked it to find McGonagall, Snape and Flitwick.
Then he and Harry came to the door of the women’s toilet on the first floor.
After McGonagall, Snape and Flitwick arrived, Dumbledore lifted the magic that blocked the toilet.
0.6
Five people walked in
“It’s this sink. It should be hollow at the bottom. It may be possible to open it, but I don’t know how.” Harry pointed to the sink in front and said
“Special times call for special methods, don’t they?”Dumbledore said with a smile.
Professor McGonagall took out her wand. This serious professor was actually the most powerful one.
She cast the blasting spell on the sink without hesitation.
Snape waved his wand, so that the sound of the toilet could not be heard outside.
Under two powerful blasting spells, the sink was completely turned into a pile of rubble, revealing a dark passage.
I don’t know where it leads to.
“Well, Professor McGonagall will take Harry back. He won’t be needed for the rest of the matter!” Snape said, shaking his robes.
