v3 Chapter 56： Sniff is forever

Filch's attack still had a big impact.

For several days in a row, the students did not talk about anything else, but talked about the attack on him all day long.

But everyone still holds a gloating mentality.

Nobody likes Filch!

Filch's performance also made everyone forget this incident all the time. He seemed to have been severely hit, holding a broom all day like a walking corpse and mechanically cleaning the castle.

He was always muttering, "Harry Potter."

Many students regard Harry as the hero who defeated Filch.

Mrs. Norris's behavior was the most bizarre. She didn't dare to approach Filch at all. Every night, she went to sleep on the cat climbing frame of **.

So, William prepared a small nest for Mrs. Norris to serve food and drink all day.

It's better that Mrs. Norris can give birth to kittens here, so that she won't be noticed by Filch.

Although Dumbledore always said that the Chamber of Secrets was not important, William still wanted to look for it and see what he found.

In fact, he has already had a secret room target, and it is not too difficult to find it.

For example...a secret passage!

There are many secret passages at Hogwarts.

Some winding paths lead to secluded, dense forests, and some are hidden in the deep valleys, with flowing water outside.

Each secret passage is deep or shallow, large or tight, and the postures for entering are also different.

For example, in the corridor on the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle, there is a portrait of Wenlock, the arithmetic and fortune-teller.

Behind the portrait there is a secret passage leading to the portrait room, which is filled with Hogwarts frames, and the password is "Snafflejack".

William has been there many times, and he has benefited a lot from discussing potions and spells with several of the principals.

And there are a total of seven secret passages to Hogsmeade known so far.

In the first grade, the twins often walked the secret passage behind the mirror on the fifth floor.

But later, William and the others found the skin of a giant snake inside, and they never walked there again.

Dumbledore guessed that the basilisk was a monster in the secret room, and the basilisk had faded here, so this secret passage must have an entrance to the secret room.

When he came to this secret passage again, William was still very impressed. This is not so much a secret passage as it is the underground palace of Hogwarts.

It really looks like an underground palace. There is a main road, and there are countless small rooms and walkways on both sides of the road.

Soon, they arrived at the building directly below the rotunda.

With the light, they could see the solid shape of the forty Doric columns that topped the marble floor.

The buildings in this underground palace have no trace of the passage of time, the reliefs are lifelike, and the colonnade is carved with complex ancient runes.

When he first came here, William was a freshman in the first grade, but now he can read the text on the building.

"What did it say?" Cedric asked.

He has also studied ancient rune script, but he is only limited to knowing the vocabulary, and he can't understand the meaning of it at all.

"These pillars are engraved with magic to protect the building from destruction."

William did not get any information about the specific purpose of the building from above.

However, in the era of the Big Four, it must have been a very important secret meeting place.

It seems that the Big Four are also doing education work on the surface, and they are doing pyramid schemes behind the scenes.

The four walked towards the front and saw the lake deep in the ground.

There is an island in the middle of the lake,

There are pyramids on the island.

The pyramid was about two stories high and made of granite. Under the illumination of the floor lamp, the four facets are polished and polished.

The surrounding magic ensures that no one can enter the middle of the lake.

Since they couldn't get close, they didn't stop too much, and walked towards the place where the basilisk skin was found.

"right here."

They came to a corridor with the bones of various small animals, apparently the basilisk once ate here.

The four moved on, and saw the outline of a coiled behemoth.

It was a huge snake skin, pale white, and it seemed to have faded for a long time.

"Isn't there a basilisk in the secret room?" Fred said worriedly.

In case they find the secret room and find that there is another one in it, they will burp if they are not careful.

"Probably not. From the point of view of food, Hogwarts can only support one basilisk." William analyzed.

Didn't you see that this basilisk eats food like mice?

A mouse can't get stuck between its teeth. If there were two basilisks, it would have been pinched.

This also shows from the side that the basilisk does not take the initiative to attack the wizard, otherwise, there are so many delicious snacks in the school, it would have given up long ago.

"But you still have to be on your guard." George said, and took out a **** from the ring.

The crowing of a rooster is deadly to a basilisk.

"Where did you get the chicken?" William asked curiously.

"Hagrid's, I stole it." George said excitedly. "Look at this chicken is big and fat. After we find the secret room, we can eat chicken in it."

William nodded. He still had a lot of condiments on him, so he could indeed have a small barbecue.

The four walked along the corridor, Cedric couldn't help but asked curiously:

"William, I checked the books in the library, to get the basilisk, you need to put an egg under the body of a toad to hatch.

Since the method is so simple, there should be many basilisks, but why does Mr. Scamander's book say that there have been no basilisks in England for hundreds of years? "

The twins also looked at William.

William pondered for a moment and explained, "Not just any egg can hatch a basilisk, it must be a male egg."

"Does roosters have eggs?" Fred asked curiously.

"Of course roosters have eggs," William said. "That kind of egg is not an egg in the conventional sense, but a mixture of cock's **** and feces."

"This mixture, after seven years of gestation, will become as big as an egg. With such a false egg in its belly, the rooster stops eating, keeps digging the grass in the coop, and can't be quiet.

Then, it will avoid the eyes and ears, and secretly lay eggs on the brightest night of Sirius.

The eggs that are laid are male eggs, also known as devil eggs. "

This section of how to make a basilisk was seen by William in a book in the restricted area of the library.

Magic is vast, and many books only cover it in a single stroke, and don't tell you spells or how to make certain magic items.

But in the restricted area of the Hogwarts Library, you can always find the answer you want.

Of course, there are times when it fails.

William had seen an entry about Horcruxes in Tywin's "Three Volumes of Esoteric Philosophy".

He searched several times in the restricted area of the library, but could not find any information on how to make Horcruxes.

It is only mentioned slightly in the preface of "The Most Poisonous Magic": "The most evil magical invention of the Horcrux is not discussed here, nor will it give any guidance."

What is this behavior?

And Fermat's sentence... 'I am sure I have found a wonderful proof, but unfortunately the blank space here is too small to write down'... It is similar in purpose.

If you don't write it, why mention it!

Simply outrageous!

"So, it takes seven years to conceive, no wonder there are so few basilisks." Cedric shook his head.

William thought for a while, then continued to popularize science: "Actually, this kind of devil egg is not the only one you can get basilisks.

If it is not hatched by a toad, but by a poisonous snake, a chicken-body basilisk will be born. "

The chicken body basilisk is different from the basilisk, it has wings and bears the head of the chicken.

However, it is as dangerous as the Basilisk. In the Triwizard Tournament in 1792, the warriors had to deal with a chicken-body snake-tailed monster, and then the three principals were injured and many students died.

Since then, the tense and exciting Triwizard Tournament has never been held again.

The four of them walked and chatted, and finally came to the end of the corridor, where there was a broken wall.

They passed through the wall and glanced inside.

"This is... the sewer of Hogwarts." George exclaimed.

"The basilisk has always been in the pipeline, so everyone can't find it." Fred said.

No wonder the Basilisk can enter the Quidditch field from Black Lake.

Most of the pipes at Hogwarts flow to Black Lake. Basilisks can enter Black Lake, and then enter the Quidditch arena through the one-way pipe.

William remembered one more thing. In the Hogwarts tectonic plan that Dumbledore showed him, he once wrote:

In the 18th century, Corvinus Gaunt led the construction of the Hogwarts plumbing system and the Gaunt family is descended from Slytherin.

He estimated that he had discovered the secret room, so he deliberately used a complicated piping system to completely hide the basilisk to prevent it from being found by others.

"It's very complicated here. Even if we investigate, it takes a long time to find, and it's easy to get lost," Cedric said.

Hogwarts has pipes all over the school, and it is not easy to get lost in such an environment.

"It's okay, we have it." Fred grinned and took out his big treasure.

——Sniff.

Sure enough, Niu Niu is always the **** of dripping!
