Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

"Of course, Professor Dumbledore."

Adam was taken away by Professor Dumbledore, and the interested little wizards around him dispersed in disappointment.

"So... Adam really solved the monster in the chamber of secrets?"

Cologne's face was three parts confused, three parts puzzled, and four parts enjoyment.

Well, he was still eating corn flakes.

"I'm afraid so. If Harry Potter was lying, Adam would have said it just now."

Eugene recalled that Adam always couldn't find anyone intermittently before, and said:

"And if it wasn't true, Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have come just now."

"Adam actually left us to adventure in the chamber of secrets!"

Bernard looked regretful.

"I'm afraid that's not an adventure story worth sharing..."

Recalling the records of the secret chambers in the pyramid, Uther squinted and said, then looked around:

"Let's go back to the dormitory and wait for Adam after breakfast. It seems that they may not be able to restrain their curiosity and come to ask us in a while."

...

Adam followed Professor Dumbledore to the principal's office, where Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape and Professor Sprout were all there.

Eh? Why didn't you bring Professor Flitwick to play with you?

Then Adam also saw Harry who was looking down and didn't dare to look at him.

"Adam! Is what Harry said true?"

Professor Sprout saw Adam coming, hurriedly walked to Adam, took his hand, and looked Adam up and down carefully.

"Sorry, Adam, I didn't know..." would bring you so much trouble.

Harry's voice was not loud to begin with, and it got lower and lower as he spoke.

He said it in a hurry to prove his innocence, and only realized the impact of his words when he saw everyone going to Adam to verify.

Adam didn't hear what Harry said, he first wanted to comfort the anxious dean in front of him:

"Uh, Professor Sprout, it's true, but that's all been solved."

"Oh, yes, our Mr. Reed can even solve the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, and defeated a professor last night. What else in the world can make him feel afraid?"

Professor Snape's voice sounded, making Adam couldn't help but want to complain:

Defeating the professor last night was the job you took on for me, Professor!

However, he also knew that this was Professor Snape's indirect concern, asking him not to be stubborn and take risks, so he swallowed the complaints that were about to come out of his throat.

"Severus, don't say that!"

Professor McGonagall was originally standing next to Harry, but now she walked to Adam:

"Adam, I don't mean to question whether you are lying, but... what was the monster you solved? I mean, maybe it was some other magical animal, but you just thought it was..."

"It was a basilisk, professor."

Adam's answer made Professor McGonagall's next words stuck in her throat:

"... Basilisk?"

"Also called the snake king, the venom can kill a person instantly, and looking into the eyes of a basilisk can directly kill..."

Professor Snape narrowed his eyes and gave Professor McGonagall a hint, who had not remembered the basilisk for a while.

Unlike little Potter, with his understanding of Adam's character, although this matter sounded as outrageous as Merlin's resurrection, Adam should not talk nonsense casually.

But if it was a basilisk, why was the cat just petrified before...

"So that's it... Mrs. Norris saw the reflection of the basilisk on the knight's armor, so she was just petrified."

Professor Dumbledore, whose presence had decreased after entering the principal's office, suddenly realized and solved everyone's doubts.

Only Harry was still confused.

"But...there hasn't been a basilisk in Britain for more than 400 years..."

Professor Sprout was still a little confused.

"The basilisk has been dormant in the Chamber of Secrets. It really didn't appear in 400 years. It has lived for a thousand years."

Adam explained.

"But...how did you do it? And how did you know it was a basilisk?"

Professor McGonagall finally found her voice,

"And why didn't you tell us, but went to deal with such a terrible thing alone?"

"Professor McGonagall, please let me answer your questions one by one."

Adam stretched out his hand and summoned the Dark Staff in the surprised eyes of everyone in the principal's office:

"First of all, how did I do it...I relied on this, the magic prop passed down by my ancestors."

Professor Dumbledore's eyes flashed with doubt. Why didn't he know that Nicolas Flamel had such a magic prop?

But with Adam's explanation, the doubt in Professor Dumbledore's eyes disappeared. It turned out that it was the ancestors in China...

Although the existence of the Clow Cards was not concealed, there was no detailed explanation on the Clow Cards. After using the magic props inherited from the ancestors as a shield for combat power, Adam continued:

"As for how it was discovered...Do you professors know Moaning Myrtle?"

Professor Dumbledore's eyes flashed.

Moaning Myrtle...was once his student.

Adam explained that he had combined the fact that he had heard from his classmates that the Chamber of Secrets had been opened, the story of Moaning Myrtle, and the discovery of the spider's corpse in the castle to form a guess - the monster in the Chamber of Secrets was a basilisk.

"...How did you guess that?"

Harry murmured with his eyes wide open.

The professors knew the characteristics of the basilisk, but Harry didn't, so Harry couldn't understand how these conditions led to this result.

Turning a deaf ear to Harry's questions, Adam continued:

"Finally, why didn't I tell the professors... As I said just now, I was just guessing. Plus, I was confident that I could deal with the basilisk, so I went by myself."

After hearing the entire explanation, the professors fell silent.

Although the story line Adam told is a bit outrageous, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

"So, leaving aside how you heroically defeated the Basilisk in the end - who opened the Chamber of Secrets?"

Professor Snape crossed his arms over his chest and squinted his eyes:

"That person must know the situation in the secret room very well. He must also have known that there is a basilisk in the secret room and knows how to deal with it..."

Professor Sprout seemed to understand something, and immediately glared at Professor Snape, stretched out his hand to hug Adam into his arms:

"Severus, what do you mean?"

Knowing that Professor Snape meant something different, even if he believed that he would habitually say something to himself out of worry and fear, Adam secretly sighed, and then made a gesture to Professor Dumbledore in Professor Sprout's arms. With a glance, Professor Dumbledore suddenly understood and said:

"Severus, stop your speculation. We should indeed be vigilant, but we cannot doubt a student for no reason."

With that said, Professor Dumbledore stood up:

"Okay, so now most of the things seem to be clear. Let Adam and I talk about the remaining details while having lunch... Everyone, please go back. Maybe you have classes to prepare for in the afternoon?"

Although the professors were not very happy, since Professor Dumbledore said so, they still left the principal's office one by one, and Professor McGonagall also took Harry with her.

"Okay, it's just the two of us here now."

Professor Dumbledore winked at Adam:

"What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"It's better for me to do it."

Adam waved the wand of darkness directly, and a plate of hot brownie-flavored pizza appeared on the table. Then he looked at Professor Dumbledore, whose eyes lit up, and said:

"Professor, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
