Chapter 155 Lock

"So the answer is obvious. It was one of the cockatrices or basilisks that killed Myrtle."

Hermione said decisively,

Hermione leaned on the sofa, put her right leg on top of her left knee, and kicked her toes.

Just when I was about to continue explaining why I judged these two dangerous creatures,

Ron screamed in pain,

"Ginny, why are you kicking me in the shins!"

Ginny glanced at Ron in disgust,

His entire back was leaning on the sofa cushions, with only his neck and head resting on the back of the sofa, while his two legs were stretched out a long way and supported on the ground.

Ginny couldn't stand it anymore and said,

"Can you sit still?"

Ron sighed,

"You don't know what we went through this morning. Ten minutes before we saw you, the four of us were still on the hospital bed in the hospital wing, drinking the potion prepared by Professor Snape."

Hearing this, Hermione also sighed, and Harry and Malfoy seemed to feel tired,

There is a tendency to gradually move closer to Ron,

This is not possible,

So Hermione cleared her throat and continued,

"At present, it is very likely that Tom Marvolo Riddle is Myrtle's murderer. We already know that he is a Parselmouth and has the ability to control snakes. You know this, Harry. .”

Harry nodded, he could control the snake's actions when talking to it.

Malfoy added,

"According to Myrtle's description, she saw two bright yellow lights before her death, which is similar to the description of the attack on Marcus Flint, possibly some kind of visual attack."

Harry also said. "I once heard strange whispers, at Nearly Headless Nick's death anniversary party. At that time, you all said you didn't hear them, but now what you want to say is actually snake whispers." (Chapter 117)

Hermione nodded,

"Yeah, that's why I think it's these two dangerous creatures."

Ron asked doubtfully,

"But according to Myrtle and Marcus Flint's description, they were eyes the size of two street lamps. How did such a huge creature move within Hogwarts?

Is it along a secret passage that connects the entire castle? "

At this time, Ginny raised her right hand,

"Excuse me, what is a basilisk and what is a cockatrice?"

Ginny turned her attention to Ron;

Ron quickly shook his head, "I don't know either."

The same goes for Harry and Malfoy. Even though they had participated energetically just now, they didn't even know what these two were.

Hermione rolled her eyes at these guys and was about to explain,

At this time, a flash of blue light came from Ginny's pocket, it was Xiaofu's classmate.

A low and gentle male voice came out.

"Perhaps I can explain these two magical creatures to you."

Ginny took out Xiaofu's classmate and placed it on the coffee table.

Classmate Xiaofu flashed and flashed,

"The basilisk is a magic egg laid by a seven-year-old rooster when Sirius is in the sky, and hatched by a toad.

In the cockatrice, snake eggs are hatched by toads.

The basilisk looks like a snake. The male basilisk has red crown hair.

The cockatrice has the body of a cockatrice and the tail of a snake.

What they have in common is that they also have deadly eyes of death and are highly poisonous.

During the Triwizard Tournament three hundred years ago, a rampaging Cockatrice caused a lot of trouble to the referees. "

The book that Hermione read did not introduce the form of cockatrice in detail, but only mentioned that it has such an ability, so Hermione knew that it turned out that cockatrice has the body of a chicken and a tail.

Then Hermione said,

"Then it seems the answer is obvious. The creature that can hide in the castle and has eyes as big as street lights should be the basilisk."

Because such a big cockatrice cannot be hidden at all, no additional explanation is needed on this point.

"As for the movement method Ron mentioned just now...if it were a snake, what would it be..."

Hermione fell into thinking,

"Pipeline! It must be a pipe!"

After a while Hermione suddenly clapped her hands and said,

Then he continued,

"We need to tell the professors that a giant basilisk is in action at Hogwarts! It's almost dinner time, so we should be there now."

Several young wizards quickly got up and walked together. After all, there was a basilisk wandering around Hogwarts.

It's just that the situation seems a bit unexpected,

When Harry and the others pushed open the door to the auditorium, Seamus was near the door. He suddenly screamed in fright,

"It's Harry Potter! He's going to let the giant snake kill people!!!"

This penetrating voice resounded through the auditorium, and all the students looked over there.

Then the auditorium fell into commotion.

[loud voice]

"Quiet!!!"

Dumbledore's voice came. The reputation of the first white wizard finally gave the young wizards a sense of security.

Dumbledore continued,

"All our professors are here and the school is safe. Now please enjoy your dinner in peace.

Later the headmaster of each house will escort everyone back to the common room and place a protective spell there.

So please return to your position now. "

After hearing the principal's words, the little wizards finally returned to their seats, while Gryffindor vacated a large area where Harry and the others usually sat.

At this time, a faint sound reached the ears of several people,

"Please don't leave after dinner. I want to know the details from a few of you."

It was Dumbledore's voice. Several people looked at each other and saw Dumbledore sitting on the principal's seat.

Eighth floor, principal's office,

After dinner, the five young wizards followed Dumbledore into the principal's office.

It's just that they saw someone here who shouldn't be here.

"Raven! Why are you here?"

Harry said in surprise,

But some people were more surprised than him,

Dumbledore quickly returned to his office and opened his drawer. Sure enough, it was gone!

Ignore the old bee bleeding in my heart

Raven replied,
