The two continued to hide under the invisibility cloak and headed towards the bathroom floor. They saw Mrs. Norris, the cat of the castle administrator Mr. Filch, and quickly avoided it.
On the way, Ron said with emotion:
"Harry, your strategy is really good. If I stay outside, I can tell the professor about your actions to get extra points. If you go in, you will definitely be deducted points. After all, we will not add or subtract. In this way, Professor McGonagall should Not too angry."
Harry said proudly:
"This plan is called leading the snake out of its hole!"
Ron asked suspiciously:
"But we are bringing out the professor, not the basilisk."
Harry shook his head, tried to be wiser and said:
"This strategy is called luring the snake out of the hole. It originally meant to lure the bad guys to carry out activities and expose the other party. But if you really lure the basilisk into the castle, it would be too dangerous for others, so I had an idea and reversed this strategy. .
I also overheard Hermione chatting with Percy about this, so I came up with this trick. "
Ron heard Percy's name and said dissatisfiedly:
"I guessed this kind of thing, and only he can think of it.
On Professor Holmes' birthday a few days ago, he quietly gave the professor a gift without telling us.
George and Fred didn't know what was wrong, but now they started to learn Percy, alas! "
While talking, they followed the moving stairs to the third floor. The nearest stairs leading to the second floor are near the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. Go down the other end of the stairs.
Ron grabbed Harry suddenly, and asked with a weird expression:
"Harry, why do you think the professors haven't caught the basilisk for so long?"
Harry didn't expect to come here, and Ron asked the question suddenly, but he said quickly:
"It must be because the Ministry of Magic didn't agree with it, and don't forget we asked Hagrid what happened last time, although he didn't reveal any useful information.
But he also said that he didn't trust the people from the Ministry of Magic, and felt that it was superfluous for Professor Holmes to call the people from the Ministry of Magic, and he felt that he was living a good life now...
And so many people from the Ministry of Magic came to this exam, and they didn't open the secret room when they left..."
Ron was speechless, but he explained to Harry:
"This time, the people from the Wizarding Examinations Administration are here, who are responsible for the Hogwarts exams.
If it's dealing with basilisks, the Ministry of Magic should send Aurors and people from the Dangerous Animals Committee under the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures...
I'm almost confused by you, that's not what I'm going to say, do you remember the curse rumors about the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor? "
Harry wondered what Ron meant by mentioning this at this time.
Seeing that Harry was silent, Ron said with a little excitement:
"All Defense Against the Dark Arts professors can't hold office for more than a year, or something bad will happen...
Do you understand, Professor Holmes has been in office for a year, and something happened to Quirrell at about this time last year..."
Harry's face changed slightly, and he said in a daze:
"You mean that the professors' inaction is because they are worried that something will happen to Professor Holmes?"
Ron nodded and said in a low voice:
"Harry, I think Professor Holmes is very nice and bought me a new wand, I don't want anything to happen to him.
Why don't we come back next year when we get a new professor. "
Harry gritted his teeth and said:
"I don't think we can wait any longer. You can find a way to keep Professor Holmes out later, but this matter cannot be delayed.
Ron, do you remember the rumors that went viral last year about Professor Holmes unleashing monsters? "
Ron frowned and said:
"Haven't we already discussed it? Hermione said that the reason for the monster must be because Professor Holmes knew about the existence of the Basilisk in advance and specially created it to make us more vigilant.
From the dictionary he gave Hermione, it can be seen that the professor definitely knew about the existence of the Basilisk very early on. "
Harry reminded:
"But you forgot one thing. I heard a strange sound at the time. At first I thought it was my own illusion, but since I found out that I am a Parseltongue, I will contact some of the previous things.
I can be sure that I probably heard it right, because it was Parseltongue, so I was the only one who heard it.
This is enough to show that the basilisk was released once, and the second time it should have been discovered by the professor in advance and sealed the entrance to the secret room. "
Ron looked back at Professor Holmes' office, then at Harry, and finally stomped and said:
"I will find a way to hold Professor Holmes back when the time comes, and it would be best if only Snape could go in by himself...
But Harry, I still don't want anything to happen to Holmes in his last days at Hogwarts..."
Harry rolled his eyes when he heard that, thinking that Snape would go in and wish I was eaten by the basilisk, but he still suggested:
"At that time, you will pretend to be sick, and drag Professor Holmes to take you to the school infirmary, but don't forget to remind him to hand over the tape recorder to other professors..."
Harry had ignored the possibility of Dumbledore's appearance by now, and he had even selectively forgotten that Dumbledore could see through his invisibility cloak.
When they came to the door of Myrtle's bathroom on the second floor, there was no sound.
Weeping Myrtle was also sent to other abandoned classrooms by Professor Douglas before the exam.
The two looked at the large wooden door of the women's bathroom, with a large lock hanging on it.
Ron grabbed Harry, pulled out his wand and said excitedly:
"Leave this to me, I have practiced the lock-opening spell for a long time!"
Harry thought that Ron would have little to do next, so he didn't argue with him.
"Then hurry up, don't get caught by Filch before you open the gate."
Ron nodded, then got out of the invisibility cloak, pointed his wand at the big lock, and whispered: "Alahoo hole!"
A ray of light flashed, but Dasuo remained silent.
Ron glanced at the magic wand in his hand suspiciously, wondering if his voice had been a little low just now, so he raised his voice slightly, and said again: "Alahoo hole!"
But the big lock still didn't respond.
Harry checked that there was no one on both sides of the corridor, and he also got out from under the cloak.
He said to Ron, "What's wrong?"
Ron frowned and said, "It seems that a counter-curse has been added to it, what should we do now."
Harry suddenly became impatient, he didn't want his plan to fail at the first step.
He drew his wand, and yelled, "Alahoo hole!"
The big lock was still unresponsive, but Harry's yell had already floated in the corridor, causing some people in the painting to exclaim in the distance.
Ron quickly grabbed Harry who was about to cast another spell, swung the invisibility cloak to completely envelop the two of them, and then whispered in Harry's ear:
"Calm down Harry, I heard Mrs Norris calling just now."
Harry hurriedly looked around carefully through the invisibility cloak, and then whispered:
"Sorry Ron, I was a little anxious..."
Ron looked at the big lock, sighed and said:
"If only Hermione was here, she will definitely have a way."
Harry said with a complicated expression:
"Hermione wouldn't agree to that."
Ron patted him on the shoulder:
"Actually, if you tell her the reason just now, I think she will definitely follow."
Harry shook his head and said:
"She won't, because I've already told her that...the person who was originally planning to go to the professor, I wanted Hermione to help me, but she refused."
Ron, who was comforting Harry, suddenly stopped his hands in mid-air and looked at Harry in disbelief.
Harry felt the embarrassment of the atmosphere, but at this moment he was a little disheartened, and rushed over with great ambition, even an ordinary door lock couldn't be opened.
He said with a melancholy tone:
"Ron, do you remember that schedule? Hermione made that schedule in the first place to keep me from coming here...
In fact, I didn't see it either, it was Hermione who told me.
She said we were good friends and didn't want to lie to me all the time, so she made a plan to delay me.
But I also know that her plan is also very careful, if I learn all the spells above, maybe I can really defeat the basilisk..."
Ron hastily interrupted Harry's melancholy narration, and asked suspiciously:
"Why didn't I know about this, and Hermione didn't come to me to apologize."
Harry blinked and said:
"You took the initiative to ask to join the training plan, and Hermione originally wanted to explain it to you, but I stopped her. If you leave, who will train with me?"
As soon as Harry finished speaking, he heard Ron grit his teeth and growl in a low voice:
"Harry!"
At this time, in the darkness not far away, Filch's voice suddenly came:
"Oh, my dear, I hope we can catch him this time, casting spells in the hallway, wandering at night, I didn't expect to have such a harvest soon after the holiday."
Hearing Filch's voice, the two second-year students finally knew to be afraid.
Hiding under the cloak of invisibility, he carefully moved towards a corner.
Seeing Filch passing by, the two held their breath, for fear that Mrs. Norris would smell something about them.
At this moment, Ron's mood is very complicated, what happened tonight.
He accompanied him out on adventures without hesitation, and finally found out that he was a spare tire...
He doesn't have himself in his plan, he is just a training partner...
On the way, Ron said with emotion:
"Harry, your strategy is really good. If I stay outside, I can tell the professor about your actions to get extra points. If you go in, you will definitely be deducted points. After all, we will not add or subtract. In this way, Professor McGonagall should Not too angry."
