Chapter 619： reveal the secret

Chapter 619 Revealed

Hermione hurried to the library, where she found Harry and Ron who were copying their homework.

Because Wood frequently summoned the team members for Quidditch training, Harry had to spend the rest of the time in the library doing homework, lest he be locked up by the professor for not doing his homework.

Professor Snape and McGonagall would definitely do such a thing.

"Harry, come out, I have something to tell you."

Hermione signaled Harry to go out with her eyes.

"I still have a lot of homework to do!" Harry could not hide his helplessness in his voice.

"It's very important." Hermione lowered her voice, "It's about you."

"Is it about me?"

Harry was a little confused, but under Hermione's urging, he began to clean up the parchment and quill on the table.

Ron, who was also copying potions papers, looked up at Hermione, and started packing his things, and followed Harry and Hermione out of the library.

Ron trotted a few steps, and after being side by side with the two, he looked at Hermione in confusion and asked, "What's going on?"

"About the speculation about the Chamber of Secrets, we need to find a place where no one will be disturbed." Hermione said to Harry and Ron in a low voice after noticing that there was no one around.

"Have you found the secret room?" After Ron spoke, he realized his gaffe, and stretched out his hands to cover his mouth. He knew that it was stupid for him to speak loudly in such a place.

Hermione gave Ron a dissatisfied look, and said angrily: "It's just a guess."

"When did you find out." Harry was also curious about what Hermione had discovered.

Because there has been no attack for a long time, people wonder if the heir of Slytherin has washed his hands.

Hermione didn't speak, but walked forward silently, as if looking for a suitable place. Finally, the three turned into the girls' bathroom on the second floor of the castle.

"Why do we go to this kind of place to whisper." Ron saw that Hermione was opening the toilet doors one by one, and seemed to be sure of something.

After Myrtle was out of the bathroom, Hermione turned to Ron and said, "Because no one here will overhear us."

"Hermione, what have you found?" Harry thought that Hermione might have discovered a big secret, so he was so cautious, and he couldn't wait to know that secret.

Hermione didn't answer directly, but suddenly asked mysteriously: "Harry, do you still remember that mysterious voice you heard?"

"These two things are connected?"

Harry didn't forget the voice that only he could hear, he frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

"I think the two are related." Hermione reminded: "Don't forget, Harry, you are a Parseltongue."

"Parseltongue? That voice is actually Parseltongue!" After receiving Hermione's reminder, countless thoughts flashed through Harry's mind, and he quickly connected everything together to come up with an answer: Slytherin's monster is a snake?

"Snake, how could a snake live for hundreds of thousands of years?" Ron couldn't help reminding Harry and Hermione, "Don't forget, the legend of the Chamber of Secrets began to spread thousands of years ago, and how could a snake turn people into stone? "

"If you check the documents in the library carefully, you will find that there are indeed snakes that can live for thousands of years." Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron, and silently recited what she remembered: "In our country, there are many Horrible beasts and monsters, none more grotesque and deadly than the basilisk... deadly even with a stare...the sworn enemy of the spider...and the crow of the rooster is deadly to it."

"Basilisk!"

At this moment, Harry was almost out of breath with excitement, "No wonder, I can hear that voice everywhere I go, but others can't hear it, because they are not Parseltongue."

"The stare of the basilisk does not kill people, but turns people to stone."

If it wasn't for Dumbledore, others might think that the victim was dead.

"Hermione, I didn't expect you to find out the truth about the attack!" Ron admired his friend very much, "I dare say that no one in Hogwarts has known for thousands of years that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a big snake."

"No." Hermione shook her head and said, "Actually, Albert discovered this secret before me."

At this moment, both Ron and Harry were a little stunned, but they heard Hermione continue: "Albert suggests that you tell Professor Dumbledore everything you know."

"Why didn't he go by himself?" Harry asked puzzled.

"He thinks that Professor Dumbledore should also realize that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is the basilisk, but he couldn't find the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, and the heir of Slytherin." Hermione looked at Harry, waiting for the other party to make a choice .

"If Dumbledore knows this secret, what's the point of me telling him?" Harry shook his head.

At this moment, he hesitated.

After seeing Harry hesitate, Hermione guessed the other party's choice, sighed, and asked: "Don't spread this matter indiscriminately."

"Why?" asked Ron.

"Dumbledore didn't tell everyone about this, of course he has his reasons." Hermione took out Albert's set of arguments, "If you make everyone know, it will easily cause panic, and they will Think it was Harry who did it.

"Not me, you know," said Harry.

"I know it's not you, but others don't." Hermione reminded: "Don't forget, now everyone knows that you are a Parseltongue, and a Parseltongue can control snakes, and controlling basilisks is no exception. No matter how you look at it, you are the biggest suspect."

After listening to Hermione's words, Harry couldn't help shivering. He could already imagine what other people would think of him when they knew that the monster in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was an ugly basilisk!

Ron also looked at Harry uneasily. He knew that Hermione was right. If he didn't know Harry, he would also think that Harry was the so-called "Heir of Slytherin" after hearing the same news.

The proof is that he is a Parseltongue, and Parselmouths are evil wizards, and only Parselmouths can control basilisks.

"Then what should I do?" Harry looked at Hermione uneasily.

"We can only wait for Principal Dumbledore or Albert to find the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, or catch the heir of Slytherin." Hermione didn't have a good idea either.

"Why don't we investigate ourselves?" Ron said to Harry, "I think we could totally..."

"Do you know where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is?" Hermione asked Ron sideways.

Ron stopped talking immediately.

yes!

If Hermione hadn't told them, neither he nor Harry knew that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets was a basilisk.

"The basilisk must be huge!" Harry expressed his doubts, "How did it wander around the castle without being discovered by the students and professors?"

"The pipes in the school extend in all directions. I suspect that the basilisk can move in the pipes." Hermione said her point of view, "and the sound can travel very far in the pipes."

"Then we can find the location of the secret room through the pipe." Ron was very satisfied with his wit.

"Even if the pipes in the castle extend in all directions, not all the pipes are big enough for you to get in, and the inside is probably choking enough." Hermione said quietly, "Albert thinks there may be only one entrance to the secret room, and it's secret enough. Some opening conditions are still needed, or it has been found long ago."

Ron opened his mouth, but finally reason made him shut up.
