The students were all sent back to their common rooms.

Only the first witnesses to the crime scene, Harry and Ron, were invited to Lockhart's office.

In addition to the two of them, Kyle was also left behind.

Dumbledore put his hand on Harry's shoulder: "Harry, I want you to tell me in detail everything you and Ron saw."

Harry took a deep breath to ease the uneasy feeling in his heart.

"When we just went back to the common room to change clothes, we passed by that corridor, but there was nothing there yet."

"As we were going downstairs, I heard a strange hoarse noise, but Ron said he didn't hear it."

Dumbledore stroked his gray beard and thought carefully.

"The voice seemed to be coming from the wall, and it seemed to be saying things like tearing you apart...killing you..."

"Then, when we passed that corridor again... we saw such a scene."

Ron also nodded, "Harry asked me to go back to the auditorium alone to inform the professors, while he stayed there to guard the scene."

Snape glanced at Harry and Ron with inquiring eyes.

"Did you hear that voice again afterwards?" Dumbledore continued to ask.

Harry shook his head, "No, Mr. Headmaster."

Dumbledore and Snape, two masters of Legilimency, could see that Harry was not lying.

"Potter, Weasley, you can go back to the lounge." Professor McGonagall said to the two of them.

"What about my Lady Norris!" Filch screamed.

"The mandrake in the greenhouse can break the petrification spell on it," Kyle gave the solution, "but it will take some time before the mandrake matures."

"I'll prepare it," Lockhart immediately interrupted, "I must have prepared it a hundred times..."

"You can even cast a healing spell into an extraction spell," Kyle interrupted mercilessly, "Let Professor Snape do it."

The corner of Snape's mouth curled up with a subtle smile of satisfaction. Kyle did a really good job this time, and it was exactly what he wanted.

Dumbledore had no time to pay attention to the embarrassed Lockhart, but kept his head lowered and thinking silently.

Secret room...

Did it appear again after fifty years?

When the Chamber of Secrets was opened last time, a student died in Hogwarts. How many people will be affected this time?

The intention of the person who opened the secret room was definitely not just to create an attack, he must have a bigger plot.

According to "Hogwarts: A School History", the Chamber of Secrets is a secret room built by Slytherin in the castle.

Slytherin raised a terrible monster in the Chamber of Secrets. Only his heir can open the Chamber of Secrets and release the monster inside.

The monster will purify the school and eliminate all those who are not worthy of learning magic.

This person who is not worthy of learning magic refers to those wizards of Muggle origin.

But neither Kyle nor Dumbledore believed that Slytherin, as the founder of Hogwarts, would cultivate such a monster to harm the students of Hogwarts.

It was probably Slytherin's descendants who distorted Slytherin's will.

Because, the only descendant of Slytherin that can be studied at present is the famous second-generation Dark Lord-Tom Riddle.

What does Voldemort want to do?

Kyle lowered his head and thought, and his thoughtful look was almost 100% synchronized with that of Dumbledore next to him.

Kyle couldn't guess Voldemort's intentions at all. After all, it was impossible for a normal person to understand the idea of ​​a lunatic.

If he understands, then he is not far from being mentally ill.

It is not difficult to guess what the monster in the secret room is. It is most likely some kind of dark magic magical animal.

The hard part is verifying whether it exists.

Because Mrs. Norris's petrification may have been caused by the secret room opener himself, or it may have been caused by a monster.

If it's the latter, there are only a few magical creatures in the magic world that can cause other creatures to become petrified.

Basilisk, Medusa...

Considering the indissoluble bond between Slytherin and snakes, most of the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets are basilisks.

The sight of an adult basilisk can cause death.

But if we don't look directly at each other, but have indirect contact, it won't be death but petrification.

So the question is, if it is a basilisk, where will it hide?

After reasoning for a long time, Kyle could not come up with an answer.

There are still too few clues at present.

…

After exchanging ideas with Dumbledore, Kyle left Lockhart's office.

He made his way back to the Hufflepuff common room.

Suddenly, at the corner of the corridor, Kyle stopped.

"Hannah, Hermione, why are you still here?"

"We were worried that it would be dangerous for you to go back to the common room alone, so we stayed and waited for you." Hannah said in a soft voice.

Kyle was stunned for a moment.

He wanted to say that even if he encountered the opener of the secret room, if he was not hostile to the opponent, he could still use the Great Summoning Technique to summon two ceiling combat forces to help him fight.

Therefore, he really has nothing to worry about. On the contrary, the real danger is that the two of them are still here.

However, Kyle is not a straight man, so he will not express his inner thoughts directly like an idiot.

"Thank you," Kyle smiled slightly and looked at a certain little beaver, "Let's go back with you first."

Walking on the way to the Gryffindor common room, Hermione couldn't help but ask: "Is the Chamber of Secrets true? Kyle?"

Seeing that Hannah was also quite curious, Kyle briefly told the two of them the origin of the Chamber of Secrets, as well as his and Dumbledore's guesses about the lost monster.

"The attack cannot only happen once, so until the murderer is caught, you two should stop wandering alone in the castle and try to walk together as much as possible."

"The gaze of the basilisk can directly cause death. If you really encounter it, remember this."

Hearing Kyle's caring words, the two little lolita felt warm in their hearts.

"Okay, we've arrived at the Gryffindor common room. You don't need Hannah and I to escort you to the door, right?"

Hermione smiled playfully, "That only requires you to enter the girls' dormitory."

The common room of each college has two doors leading to the male and female dormitories respectively.

The girls' dormitory is enchanted. It will identify the gender of the incoming person and block all the boys who intend to break into the girls' dormitory at night.

This magic was personally planted by Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the original Big Four. With Kyle's level of magic, it was still decades too early to break it.

After watching Hermione disappear into the passage behind the Fat Lady's portrait, Kyle turned to look at Hannah.

"I'll take you a shortcut back."

He stepped on the handrail of the stairs.

A moment later, two figures fell rapidly from the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle.
