In the end, Fudge skipped it directly, and never mentioned the matter of capturing the murderer again.
"Okay, now let's start today's business. As the Minister of Magic, I have a lot of business to do every day, and I have to attend a meeting in the afternoon."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Dumbledore, and Douglas didn't say anything more. Anyway, the first goal of today has been achieved.
But at this moment, Myrtle was floating in the air, and said sadly:
"Sure enough... no one cared about poor, moaning, morose Myrtle... the Ministry of Magic has always been like this..."
Fudge froze for a moment, and said angrily:
"You are dead, and he is dead, understand?"
Douglas has investigated some things, but he knows why.
When Myrtle turned into a ghost, it was not the ghost of Hogwarts, but the one who followed Olive Hornbe who mocked herself.
In the end, Olive found the Ministry of Magic to restrain Myrtle's behavior, which forced Myrtle to stay at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
So he stood up and said:
"Myrtle Elizabeth Warren, you accidentally broke Voldemort..."
Fudge roared, "Don't say that name!"
Douglas shrugged, and decided to take care of everyone's emotions, especially poor Dobby, whose head was bleeding.
"Well, you smashed through the crime of the mysterious man cleaning the school, and saved other Hogwarts students with your own life. You are a hero of Hogwarts."
Myrtle said excitedly:
"I'm a hero? I'm a Hogwarts hero. Ah, I really want to talk to Oliver about this. I haven't heard from him for a long time..."
Douglas pretended not to hear what she was saying, he didn't want to continue to challenge the fragile nerves of the Minister of Magic.
Bloody Baron stepped forward, scaring Myrtle away.
Dumbledore took out the tape recorder and handed it to Snape. After all, it made more sense for Head Slytherin to open the door to the Chamber of Secrets.
Snape flicked his robes, walked smartly to the faucet, and turned on the playback function.
After Fudge heard the Parseltongue played on the tape recorder, he couldn't help but ask again:
"Albus, I still want to ask you as a friend, who is that Parseltongue, I really don't know except Morfin Gaunt (Uncle Voldemort, the last male of the Gaunt family descended from Slytherin.) Besides, there's another Parseltongue."
Dumbledore did not speak, quietly listening to the voice on the tape recorder and the response of the tap.
When a sentence came from the tape recorder: "Turn on, I'm Slytherin!"
Immediately, the dragon hair emitted a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly.
Immediately afterwards, the pool moved.They watched the pool slowly disappear from view, revealing a pipe so thick that a person could slip through it.
Everyone leaned over and looked at the pipe leading to nowhere.
Snape stood in front of the hole and said calmly:
"People from Slytherin can go down, and others will be on guard. Of course, Professor Scamander can choose whether to go in or not."
There is no objection from Hogwarts on this point. This was suggested by Douglas to Professor Dumbledore last night.
After all, he planned to stay at Hogwarts for a long time in the future, so he had to handle the relationship between colleagues well, and it would be good to take the opportunity to sell Professor Snape a favor.
Of course, the most important thing was that the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets really didn't appeal to him. As for the materials on the basilisk, Professor Snape also generously expressed that he could leave some for Douglas as experimental materials.
There is no objection from the Ministry of Magic. Their operation itself is an official business. It is best to go down with fewer people and reduce the loss of personnel.
Only Lucius Malfoy looked a little hesitant. If it wasn't for the talking Snape, he would have suspected that Dumbledore didn't like him, and was going to take the opportunity to get rid of him.
According to his understanding of Voldemort, since the other party has entered, it is impossible to leave anything of value.
So Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror office, assigned the Aurors behind him. According to the pipeline map known to Hogwarts, the Aurors were stationed at the exit of the pipeline to prevent the basilisk from escaping into the magical world from other places.
Dumbledore said with a smile:
"Don't worry, everyone. After going down, when the basilisk appears, Phoenix Fox will appear immediately and peck the basilisk's eyes blind."
Douglas took out the prepared special sunglasses.
"This pair of glasses can effectively block the death eyes of the basilisk. Before the appearance of Fox, this pair of glasses can prevent you from dying. At most, you will be permanently petrified."
Snape also took out the prepared mandrake resurrection potion and distributed it to everyone.
"In case any unlucky guy is accidentally petrified, this bottle of potion can lift the curse of petrification, provided that your teammates have no grudge against you... Hehe..."
At this time, Hagrid was also leading a large chicken coop from the outside, which contained more than a dozen large roosters.
"I heard that basilisks are afraid of the crowing of cocks, so Douglas asked me to prepare some roosters, which are now under the Silencing Charm.
Of course, it was cast by Douglas, you know, I couldn't use wands before..."
With that, Hagrid handed the cock to Newt.
Everything was ready, Snape took the lead and jumped down, followed by several Aurors.
While Lucius was hesitating, Douglas suddenly said to him:
"Mr. Malfoy, I have something to ask you. Is it convenient for you now?"
Lucius stared blankly, then immediately said:
"Of course, I also have something to ask Professor Holmes about Draco..."
Speaking of which, the two walked towards Douglas' office like old friends, and Dobby followed behind Lucius.
The arranged Aurors scattered and formed a team to find their own positions.
Professor Sprout took out some magic objects, threw them into the passage, and explained:
"This plant can detect the magical fluctuations in the channel, or when a creature tries to rush out, it will also block it."
Professor McGonagall also said on the side:
"The defensive magic of Hogwarts Castle is ready, and I hope Salazar Slytherin has left nothing behind for the basilisk."
Then, the three deans and the director of the Auror office stood at the four corners of the entrance, and if the situation was not right, they could jump down to support at any time.
Fudge was also invited by Dumbledore to the headmaster's office to wait for news.
Inside the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
Douglas poured tea for Lucius and said:
"I still remember that last year, Mr. Malfoy planned to hold a press conference for me. Although I didn't agree because of school affairs, I am very grateful to Mr. Malfoy."
The reason why Douglas didn't agree that time was because he didn't believe in the character of certain pure-blood families.
On the other hand, because his editor, Slane, had inquired about some things, some pure-blood families planned to take advantage of the press conference to ridicule Douglas, an ignorant Muggle cub.
Lucius Malfoy chuckled, thinking in his heart that if it's really the school's reason, how could you develop a press conference before Christmas:
"That's really a pity. I don't know what book Professor Holmes will write next..."
Douglas said with a look of surprise:
"Speaking of new books, I really have some ideas recently. I accidentally got a diary some time ago..."
As soon as Douglas finished speaking, Lucius' hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air, and his other hand tightly grasped the cane that held the wand.
Dobby, who was standing behind Lucius, widened his bell-like eyes when he heard the diary.
"Okay, now let's start today's business. As the Minister of Magic, I have a lot of business to do every day, and I have to attend a meeting in the afternoon."
