Madam Pomfrey, the school doctor, used a few simple spells to heal these wounds, and then she poured a bottle of euphoria for the three of them. "It's good for you!" Harry rolled his eyes in choking. .

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

Madam Pomfrey turned and left.

There were only the trio, Dumbledore and Felix, and Snape had been sent by the Headmaster to look for Professor McGonagall - they had to go to the back room later to get the basilisk's body ready.

"I think you must have a lot to say." Dumbledore's eyes fell on the table beside him, where there was a sorting hat and a silver sword set with rubies.

Harry began to tell them exactly what had happened. He recounted that he first heard the incorporeal, ghost-like voice when he was locked up in Professor Lockhart's office. Combined with the information Hermione had received from Professor Hepp, he confirmed that he was a Parseltongue.

"But because of Parseltongue's bad reputation, I hid it, and there were no attacks," said Harry, somewhat ashamed.

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

He also said that after the first attack, they discovered the phenomenon of spiders fleeing from the castle, and learned from Myrtle that she was the victim of the opening of the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago. Harry mentioned in particular that on the day Myrtle was attacked, they heard a boy's voice, which was also the biggest evidence for them to judge the entrance to the secret room.

Dumbledore couldn't help clapping his hands in admiration.

"Hermione deduced it," Harry said without taking credit, and Hermione waved her hand shyly.

After that was the second attack. Speaking of which, Harry had a strong urge to speak out about their suspicions about Malfoy. Dumbledore must be able to find out something, right?

But just as he mustered up his courage, Snape and Professor McGonagall pushed the door and walked in. Professor McGonagall saw the three of them in a state of embarrassment and couldn't help but clutched his chest, "Oh, God, what have you been through? ?Professor Snape said you were recklessly challenging the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets...if that's true, I'll detain you..."

"Minerva," Dumbledore interrupted, "and Severus, you've come just in time for us to hear their adventures before we make our final judgment."

So, there were two more people listening to the story.

Harry opened his mouth, swallowed his suspicions about Malfoy at last, and began to tell the key information he had learned from Hermione that Parseltongue could manipulate snakes - which is what Slytherin did, and then from Hermione. Hagrid learned about the existence of Aragog the eight-eyed spider and its fear of the basilisk.

"And those dead chickens!" Ron reminded him.

"Yes, Hagrid's chickens died a lot. He thought it was the fox," Harry added. "We're pretty much using this information to piece together the truth about the secret room."

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

Harry then went on to talk about how they slipped out of the auditorium to talk to Professor Hepp about the situation - Snape made a "sniff" - and heard the basilisk again halfway through, so they rescued Justin, ha Leigh had others turn to the professor for help, while he stared at the basilisk so that it couldn't resist attacking others.

"What a noble act, Harry," said Dumbledore softly.

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

Felix watched with interest, Snape's disgust for Harry Potter was really undisguised, but he was the first to stand up when Harry was in danger...

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

"We can't jump to judgment, Severus."

Later, Ron and Hermione talked about some of their experiences separately. Hermione had nothing to say. She just walked around the empty castle for a few minutes and met Professor Hepp.

And Ron's story is much more exciting, he not only attacked the professor (Lockhart), but also stole his wand, and in a panic - Ron tried to beautify his idea as he told - he came to In the bathroom, realizing that Harry was not carrying a powerful magic puppet, he simply jumped down neatly and did a "takeaway hero".

"By the way, Headmaster," said Ron with some trepidation, "Professor Lockhart's wand was swallowed by the basilisk, am I going to pay him?"

"This is indeed a problem, Gilderoy has been having some bad luck lately... I'll talk to him." Dumbledore said lightly, "If he's lucky, his wand is still in the basilisk's stomach intact. Woolen cloth."

After the three little wizards had finished telling part of their experiences, Professor McGonagall said weakly, "What you have done tonight is far beyond your duty, and I have to add that you have violated at least one hundred rules along the way. School rules - but how did you beat the basilisk?"

Harry recounts how he and Ron met near the slough, they walked into the chamber 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 that at the time.

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

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

"Professor Hepp's magic puppet has been of great help." Harry glanced gratefully at Felix, who just smiled and didn't speak, his gaze resting on the tattered, dirty sorting hat superior. So Harry went on, giving Hermione a weird look during which he didn't know when she had come.

In the end, he described the process of killing the basilisk with the ultimate leap of the three of them with the cooperation of each other. At this point, the whole story is finally over.

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

"Felix," Snape said in a long voice, in his characteristic, unfeeling voice, "perhaps, you see a shadow of yourself in them..."

"No, Professor Snape," Felix said lightly, "I'm nothing like them. They're all good Gryffindors, and you and I," he glanced at Snape, "we are 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.

【Small Theater-Intelligence Reveal】

Parseltongue can control ordinary snakes, but cannot control snake-like magical creatures.

There are only two owners of the Chamber Basilisk from beginning to end, Slytherin and Voldemort. In the second-year plot, the basilisk obeys the Horcrux's orders, not some controlled little wizard.

Harry saved Justin because he was able to communicate with the basilisk and cheated the basilisk away by flicking (see Chapter 58 for details). But when he and Ron broke into the Chamber of Secrets, Harry's communication didn't work because it was in direct violation of the Master's order.
