"Basilisk? You mean the monster in the chamber is a basilisk?" Ron looked at Chronos in disbelief.

"Then what do you think? The big spider just now?" Kronos still laughed at Ron.

"Basilisk? What's that?" Harry asked.

"I heard from my father that it is a powerful black magic creature bred by a black wizard. This kind of poisonous snake has a huge body (fifty feet long), emerald green color, and two fangs that seem to be thin. Long, sharp sword, big round yellow eyes," said Ron.

"And as long as there is enough food, the lifespan of basilisks is at least nine hundred years, and they can eat all vertebrates (including humans), so this is easy to do. The way to distinguish between male and female basilisks is the male snake. It has a crest of crimson hair on its head, but basilisks are usually bred by magic rather than breeding," Kronos added.

"So Hermione found these in the book?" Harry felt a little unbelievable. He and Ron almost risked their lives without figuring out the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets, but Hermione found them easily in the book. up. This makes him somewhat unbalanced.

Kronos nodded, "So, you two boys are not as good as a girl. There is an old saying in my hometown that there is a house of gold in the book."

Chronos' words made the two boys blush, but Chronos didn't see it.

"But what's the matter that Harry can hear voices that we can't hear?" Ron asked in disbelief.

"Isn't that simple? Harry is a Parseltongue." Kronos looked at Ron like a fool.

"Parseltongue?" Ron opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Kronos frowned. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Parseltongue. On the contrary, he thought it was cool.

"If you don't believe me, ask Harry if he has ever talked to a snake." Kronos patted Harry on the shoulder.

Harry nodded and said, "I was at the zoo once, and I accidentally let a boa constrictor out, and the boa constrictor jumped at my cousin Dudley—it's a long story, and the boa constrictor told me, It never went to Brazil, I just let it out without knowing it, I didn't mean to. I didn't know I was a wizard then!"

"I never knew that, you never told me," said Ron in a weak voice.

"I thought it was a very common skill, and I thought many wizards knew it." Harry didn't care much.

"Oh, they can't," said Ron. "It's not a very common thing to do."

"Okay, none of this matters." Kronos interrupted their conversation.

"So, why did you come to Harry?" Ron knew very well that Chronos would not come to the Forbidden Forest because of him.

"You don't know that the first basilisk was bred by a Greek black wizard who could speak snake language! Didn't your father tell you?" Kronos said. "And the basilisk will only obey the orders of the Parseltongue."

"So you want Harry to deal with that monster alone?" Ron roared.

Chronos silently admired Ron's friendship with Harry in his heart.

"No, that's not enough." Chronos shook his head and said, "I found the Slytherin chamber of secrets, but it can only be opened with Harry's Parseltongue. So I need Harry to use Parseltongue to help me open the chamber of secrets , and I'll deal with the basilisk."

"Isn't the Chamber of Secrets open only to the heirs of Slytherin? Are you really a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, Harry?" Ron asked questions one after another like a problem boy. Why didn't Chronos discover that Ron had so many problems before?

"I don't know." Harry shook his head, knowing nothing about his father's family. The Dursleys always forbade him to ask questions about his magical relatives.

"The last heir of Salazar Slytherin was Lord Voldemort, and Harry was not his descendant," Kronos explained.

After hearing Chronos call the "mysterious man" by name, Ron shrank his neck and looked very scared, and the rest of the road stopped a lot. Chronos assured him that he hadn't meant to scare Ron.

Under the guidance of Chronos' wand, a corner of the castle appeared in the sight of the three of Chronos. They quickened their pace, and the castle was getting closer and closer. Harry took his Invisibility Cloak out of his bag.

"Oh, that's great, Harry. You also brought the Invisibility Cloak." Kronos put away his wand, pinned it to his waist, lifted a corner of the Invisibility Cloak and slipped in.

But the cloak was too weak to cover three people, and Harry tugged on the cloak to make sure they were all covered. Then he pushed the creaking front door open a crack. They walked cautiously across the vestibule, up the marble steps, and, holding their breath, through the corridors patrolled by sentries. When passing by the faculty lounge on the third floor, Chronos and the others heard a word from Professor McGonagall.

"Something happened again," she said to the silent professors in the room. "A student was captured by a monster and brought directly into the secret room."

The three of Kronos looked at each other, and Kronos saw the surprise in their eyes.

Professor Flitwick let out a scream. Professor Sprout put his hand over his mouth abruptly. Professor Snape tightly grasped the back of a chair and asked, "How can you be sure?"

"The heir of Slytherin," said Professor McGonagall with a very pale face, "he left another paragraph. Just below the last paragraph, it says (her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever.)"

Professor Flitwick couldn't help crying.

"Who is it?" Mrs. Hooch slumped in a chair with her knees limp. "Which student is it?"

"Hermione Granger." Professor McGonagall.

Kronos felt the inhalation on both sides of his cheeks.

"Hermione? How?" Ron looked at Harry. And Harry was looking at him too.

Chronos was also confused, is Hermione really the owner of the diary? Chronos felt his mind was in a mess. Fortunately, he still knew what he was going to do.

He turned to Harry and said, "Harry, come on! Let's go to the Chamber of Secrets."

Chronos led Harry and Ron to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. On the way, they also passed the wall with written words, and the scarlet words gradually distorted under the dim light.

"This...here is Moaning Myrtle's bathroom?" Ron said in surprise standing at the door.

"Then which student do you think was killed after the secret room was opened last time?" Kronos said without looking back.
