Chapter 82: Basilisk (Part 2)

"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets has appeared." While having snacks with Grindelwald, Shen Fei heard the recent events in Hogwarts from Grindelwald. Because the events in the Chamber of Secrets made people panic, especially those with numb eyes. As a wizard born in Gua, some people are already suggesting that he should leave school first.

But those pure-blood wizards are not worried. After all, the legend of the Chamber of Secrets is only for Muggle wizards.

Grindelwald had already guessed that there might be a basilisk hidden in the secret room. He had also considered the idea of ​​a basilisk back then, because the strength of the basilisk was very powerful in the magical world. In some respects, it was no worse than the Obscurus. However, because the basilisk was too difficult to control and its weaknesses were obvious, Grindelwald gave up later.

However, although he gave up, he had searched a lot of information before. In terms of understanding of basilisks, Grindelwald was ahead of Dumbledore. He even knew how to cultivate basilisks.

From an egg laid by a seven-year-old rooster in the sky of Sirius and hatched by a toad, this creature is the basilisk. Its sight is the most dangerous attack weapon. Any creature that directly meets its gaze will be killed immediately.

Of course, this is only theoretical. If magicians like Dumbledore and Grindelwald could see the eyes of the basilisk, it would be fine.

There are also some magical creatures that are immune to his eyes, such as phoenixes and some dragons, and they also have a weakness, they are afraid of roosters crow, after all, they are mutated and hatched from rooster eggs.

The Ministry of Magic has long announced a law prohibiting the cultivation of basilisks because they are too dangerous and will only be controlled by Parseltongues. Otherwise, even the cultivators will be attacked. Therefore, even dark wizards generally cannot If you don't know how to cultivate a basilisk, it will be a thankless task.

The birth of a basilisk requires the right time, place, and right people, and if it cannot be controlled, only a fool would cultivate it.

The main reason why Parseltongue has a bad reputation in the wizarding world is because all Basilisks were raised in Parseltongue. Once it was revealed that Harry could speak Parseltongue, he was immediately discriminated against in the academy. treat.

However, although Grindelwald guessed that there was a basilisk hidden in Hogwarts, he had not found Stlylin's secret room yet. The castle where Hogwarts school is located hides many secrets, some of which even Dumbledore could not find. have no idea.

The four founders of Hogwarts all left a lot of things in the school.

Because of the opening of the Chamber of Secrets, Hagrid has been taken away by the Ministry of Magic. Who told him that he was a suspect when the Chamber of Secrets was opened last time? It's a bit ridiculous to say that the heirs of Slytherin are all pure-blooded people. Yes, Hagrid is a hybrid, a hybrid between a giant and a human. In order to attack Dumbledore, Malfoy ignored logic, and those idiots at the Ministry of Magic actually believed it.

"I'll go back with you."

After that, Shen Fei returned to Hogwarts with Grindelwald. Of course, the two did not travel by train, but directly used Apparition to arrive at the outskirts of Hogwarts. Apparition is prohibited inside Hogwarts. shape.

Originally, Grindelwald wanted to apparate with Shen Fei, but Shen Fei refused, and then apparated to Hogwarts on his own, leaving Grindelwald surprised.

The distance traveled by Apparition is directly proportional to the consumption of magic power. It is a distance of hundreds of miles. This is a distance that most Aurors cannot reach through Apparation at once, but Shen Fei completed it easily.

When Shen Fei appeared again in Hogwarts, not many people cared about it, because most people were talking about the Chamber of Secrets at this time. Harry tasted isolation for the first time. Even the Gryffindor students had Many people are also staying away from Harry.

From the previous popularity to the current isolation, Harry felt very uncomfortable, so he decided to find the heir to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk.

"It seems that now is not the day to play board games." Because of the emergence of the Chamber of Secrets and Hagrid being taken away, Dumbledore is not in the academy now. This time, Dumbledore was not dismissed because of this incident. Previously, Dumbledore was not dismissed. Dumbledore didn't want to get involved too much in the Ministry of Magic, but it's different now. With Dumbledore's qualifications, if he wanted to get involved, there would be Malfoy and Fudge there, not to mention Grindelwald's help on the side. .

"Let's solve the secret room incident first." The second day after returning to the academy, Shen Fei directly found Grindelwald.

"Do you know where the Chamber of Secrets is?" Grindelwald looked at Shen Fei in surprise. He had been at the entrance of the Chamber of Secrets. After all, only when the academy is stable can we study well. How can we study when people are in panic.

"It's very simple. If you look carefully at the number of ghosts in the school, you can guess this." Shen Fei pointed to Moaning Myrtle on the list, and then said, "She was a student of the school fifty years ago. It happened to be when the Chamber of Secrets was opened last time, and she was still a Muggle. If I guessed correctly, it was her who died the last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened. Just ask her."

After knowing the truth and analyzing it backwards, I have to say that Shen Fei himself must believe this wave of analysis. If a detective like Holmes came to investigate, he would definitely discover this problem very quickly.

These people in the wizarding world, including Dumbledore, have somewhat rigid ideas.

"Not bad." With that said, Grindelwald and Shen Fei came to the abandoned bathroom on the second floor because of the crying Myrtle. This was also the location of the last troll attack.

Shen Fei and Grindelwald are both teachers at the school. They are different from the Harry, Hermione and other three. Under their questioning, Myrtle quickly recalled the circumstances of her death. Myrtle's death was completely accidental. School bullying exists even in Hogwarts, just like when Harry's father James and his four friends bullied Snape.

Myrtle ran here to cry because she was bullied by her classmates. As a result, she unexpectedly saw a big eye and then died. At the same time, she seemed to hear the words of the male student.

Such an obvious clue was not found during the investigation. Shen Fei was speechless about these people in the magic world.

After Myrtle became a ghost, she kept harassing the girl who bullied her, causing a lot of noise. It was not until the Ministry of Magic came forward that the matter was completely resolved.

"It seems that there is no clue to the secret room." Grindelwald was silent for a while and asked Shen Fei. Myrtle's words only proved the existence of the basilisk.

"That's why I said that people in the magic world are too used to the convenience brought by magic, so they forget to use their brains." When Shen Fei said this, he also reminded himself in his heart that he was now too dependent on the portability of magic. Even in his own home, he didn't want to walk, but used Apparition instead.

Because Apparition doesn't require a wand, it is a very convenient magic.

"From her words, we can know that the person who opened the secret room at that time did not intend to deal with her, which means that this place may be related to the secret room. Let's look around." Shen Fei began to look around, and soon found a snake pattern below.

Seeing such an obvious pattern, Shen Fei sighed helplessly again. If this secret room was broken by ordinary people, even ordinary policemen might find it. There is no need for any brilliant ideas. Searching the crime scene is a necessary procedure, and it seems that there is no such procedure in the magic world.

"Found it." Shen Fei called Grindelwald over, pointed at the snake pattern, shook his head and said, "Such an obvious thing, no one went to look for it back then. If the magic world continues to be so rigid, the future is really worrying."

At the same time, Shen Fei was thinking in his heart that maybe he should write about Sherlock Holmes, and get more detective books, TV, and movies, such as criminal psychology investigation, crime scene investigation, etc.

Grindelwald's face was a little ugly. If it was before, maybe he wouldn't care, but as a teacher of Muggle Studies, after a deep understanding of the lives of ordinary people, Grindelwald has discovered that there is a huge difference between ordinary people and the magic world.

Even ordinary students are the same. The courses in ordinary schools have much more knowledge than those in the Rubik's Cube School. If these students go to ordinary schools, it can be said that except for a few people, everyone else is at the bottom.
