Chapter 64： tell a story

The school doctor Madam Pomfrey treated the wounds with a few simple spells, and then she poured a bottle of euphoria on the three of them. "This is good for you!" Harry was choked and rolled his eyes. .

"Mrs. Pomfrey, please give us a few more minutes," Dumbledore said gently.

Madam Pomfrey turned and left.

There were only the trio, Dumbledore, and Felix, and Snape was sent by the principal to look for Professor McGonagall—they would go to the secret room again later to deal with the body of the basilisk.

"I think you must have a lot to say." Dumbledore's gaze fell on a side table, where there was a sorting hat and a silver sword studded with rubies.

Harry began to tell them exactly what had happened. He said that when he was confined in Professor Lockhart's office, he heard for the first time an invisible, wandering voice. Combined with the information Hermione got from Professor Haipu, he confirmed that he was a snake-like voice.

"But I concealed it due to the bad reputation of Snakeman, and there was no attack at that time." Harry said with some shame.

"Everyone has their own secrets, and they don't want to be spied on." Dumbledore said understandingly, which made Harry feel better.

He also mentioned that after the first attack, they discovered the escape of spiders in the castle, and learned from Myrtle that she was the victim of the opening of the secret room fifty years ago. Harry specifically mentioned that on the day Myrtle was attacked, he heard a boy's voice, which was the biggest evidence they judged the entrance to the secret room.

Dumbledore couldn't help clapping his hands in admiration.

"Hermione inferred," Harry didn't take the credit, and Hermione waved her hand shyly.

After that was the second attack. Speaking of this, Harry had a strong urge in his heart to express their suspicion of Malfoy. Dumbledore must be able to find out something?

But he had just gotten his courage, Snape and Professor McGonagall pushed the door and walked in. Professor McGonagall saw the three of them all embarrassed and couldn't help holding their chests, "Oh, my God, what have you all gone through? Professor Snape said that you recklessly challenged the monsters in the secret room... If this is true, I will detain you..."

"Minerva," Dumbledore interrupted her, "and Severus, you are here just in time. Let us listen to their adventures before making the final judgment."

So, two more people listened to the story.

Harry opened his mouth and finally swallowed the suspicion about Malfoy. He began to tell the key information that he learned from Hermione that snakes can manipulate snakes—this is what Slytherin did, and then from the sea. Grid learned about the existence of Aragok, the eight-eyed giant spider, and its fearful attitude towards the basilisk.

"And those dead chickens!" Ron reminded him.

"Yes, a lot of the chickens that Hagrid raised died. He thought it was a fox." Harry added, "We almost used this information to piece together the truth about the secret room."

"I want to know more, how did this series of things happen tonight?" Dumbledore nodded approvingly, then he asked.

Then Harry went on to say that they had slipped out of the auditorium and were going to talk to Professor Haipu to explain the situation-Snape let out a "chick"-heard the sound of the basilisk again halfway through, so they saved Justin, and Harry let Others approached the professor for help, while they stared at the basilisk to prevent it from attacking other people.

"Really noble behavior, Harry." Dumbledore said softly.

"But what I saw was just a reckless and arrogant adventure. Principal Dumbledore, you gave them too many privileges." Snape played the role of pouring cold water with a stern face.

Felix watched with interest. Snape made no secret of Harry Potter's dislike, but he stood up for the first time when Harry was in danger...

Thinking of what he had investigated, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched.

"We can't make judgments, Severus."

Then, Ron and Hermione talked about part of their experiences separately. Hermione had nothing to say, she just walked around the empty castle for a few minutes and met Professor Haipu.

And Ron’s story is much more exciting. He not only attacked the professor (Lockhart), but also snatched his wand. In a panic—Ron tried to beautify himself when he told the story—he came to the bathroom. , Realizing that Harry did not carry a powerful magic puppet, so he simply jumped down and became a "takeaway hero".

"By the way, principal," Ron said nervously, "Professor Lockhart's wand was swallowed by a basilisk, am I going to pay him?" His own wand is still half-defective.

"This is indeed a problem. Guidro has been a bit unlucky lately... I'll talk to him." Dumbledore said lightly. "If you're lucky, his wand is still lying intact in the basilisk's belly. ."

The three little wizards have all finished part of their experiences. Professor McGonagall said weakly and weakly, "What you have done tonight is far beyond your duties. I have to add one more thing, UU reading , you are on the way. At least more than a hundred school rules were violated—but how did you defeat the basilisk?"

Harry recounted that he and Ron met near the snake slough, they walked into the secret room together, and then met the basilisk. Speaking of this, Harry suddenly realized that he should have stopped near the snake slough, but he didn't think of it at all.

Am I really like Snape said, a reckless stupid lion?

The story continues. The two unexpected visits violated the basilisk's psychological bottom line-it attacked Harry and Ron frantically, until Fox pecked the basilisk blindly, and they barely had the confidence to face the basilisk.

"Professor Haipu’s magic puppet has been a great help." Harry glanced at Felix gratefully. The professor just smiled, did not speak, his eyes kept on the tattered, dirty sorting hat. on. So Harry continued, during which he glanced at Hermione weirdly, he didn't know when she came over.

Finally, he told about the process of finally taking a leap to kill the basilisk under the cooperation of the three of them. At this point, the whole story is finally over.

Felix slapped his hands, "It's a wonderful adventure. I think your story is enough to make a book."

"Felix," Snapto said in a long tone, in his characteristic, non-sentimental voice, "Perhaps, you see your own shadow in them..."

"No, Professor Snape," Felix said lightly. "I'm totally different from them. They are both excellent Gryffindors, and I and you," he glanced at Snape. "We It's a standard Slytherin, isn't it?"

"The Sorting Hat can testify."

He stretched out his hand, picked up the sorting hat very naturally, and put it on his head.
