But there was no snake monster in the empty stone room, but only a huge stone statue and a dozen towering stone pillars. The stone python wrapped around the stone pillar kept rising and disappeared into the dark ceiling.

The stone sculpture looked like a monkey, with sparse long beards hanging down to the bottom of the stone robe.

“Is this Slytherin?” Harry asked, looking at the statue.

Dumbledore nodded..

“I thought he looked like Voldemort without a nose, after all, he is the heir.”Harry shrugged his shoulders and said.

He has always been skeptical about the aesthetics of the wizarding world.

“The basilisk may be inside the statue.” Dumbledore said

“I’m trying to talk to him, so be prepared and don’t let me get hurt.”Harry said.

Several adults stepped forward.

They raised their wands and looked serious.

“”Open!” Harry closed his eyes and spoke loudly in Parseltongue.

He didn’t want to look the basilisk in the eye once the door was opened, and then die in obscurity.

A rumble that echoed throughout the stone chamber came to his ears, as if the stone wall had been opened before.

But no basilisk crawled out.

Dumbledore patted Harry on the shoulder and said,”You can open your eyes now, there is no basilisk here!”

Harry opened his eyes and saw that the Slytherin’s mouth was open.

The beard was completely gone, revealing a huge dark hole.

Only a faint musty smell came out from inside.

“Let’s go in and take a look.”Dumbledore waved his wand, and Harry and the others flew to the cave entrance.

Their wands emitted a white fluorescence, illuminating the dark cave.

The inside was not as damp and cold as the outside, but warm and humid.

It was a habitat that the basilisk liked very much.

The musty smell inside came from the wooden racks in the cave.

It should be the legacy left by Slytherin, but it had disappeared at this time.

I believe it was looted by Tom before.

“It seems that Senior Tom has already cleaned out everything. 〃”Harry looked around and said with a hint of regret.

In the entire cave, only dust witnessed all this.

“I thought I knew this castle very well, but in fact, there are still many secrets in the castle.”Dumbledore said with a complicated expression.

His eyes were deep, and contained the vicissitudes of life washed by time.

His blue eyes seemed to be able to see through the long river of time. He saw a handsome young man who accidentally discovered this place, and then looked at the collection of books in it with a fanatical expression.

“Oh, it seems that our headmaster really thinks he can control everything.”Snape sneered and said sarcastically.

But Harry felt that he didn’t seem to be talking about this matter.

“Now the basilisk is not here, maybe it has been moved, or just left temporarily, what should we do now? Stay here and wait for it to come back?”Flitwick asked

“I will leave monitoring magic, and once the basilisk comes back, I will find it.”Dumbledore said.

He drew a strange trajectory above his head with his wand, and then an invisible wave spread throughout the stone chamber.

“Let’s go back first.”After doing all this, Dumbledore said.

Everyone returned to the women’s toilet.

“Has it been resolved?” Professor McGonagall, who was waiting upstairs, asked hurriedly after seeing several people coming up.

“No, the basilisk is not in the Chamber of Secrets. It may have left. Harry shook his head and said

“Now we don’t know where the basilisk is, and we don’t know who the mysterious heir is. We can only temporarily arrange some measures to prevent the basilisk from harming students again.”Dumbledore sighed and said.

He really wanted to meet the basilisk and then kill it.

The basilisk that has survived for a thousand years and is wandering around Hogwarts is a huge hidden danger to the safety of students.

“The crowing of a rooster, Hagrid said that the crowing of a rooster would scare the basilisk, and I was able to find that it was a basilisk, and Hagrid gave me a lot of help.”Harry said, he did not forget to ask Hagrid for credit

“Really?” Dumbledore looked a little happy.

“The layout of Hogwarts will be left to Minerva and Filius.” Dumbledore was still a qualified leader and assigned the tasks skillfully.

Faced with an irresponsible headmaster, McGonagall and Flitwick could only nod and agree to the task.

When Harry returned to the common room, Hermione and Ron were waiting anxiously.

Seeing Harry coming back, the two hurried over to greet him.

Hermione whispered,”Is the problem solved?”

Ron stared at Harry nervously.

“No, no basilisk was found inside. It may have been moved away or went out to find food. Don’t worry, Dumbledore has set up monitoring magic there. Once the basilisk comes back, he will find it immediately.”When Harry said this, he found that the two people’s expressions became tense.

He immediately comforted them.

When they heard that Dumbledore had taken action personally, their expressions eased.

Dumbledore’s name still had some prestige in their hearts.

The next day, when the students walked out of the lounge, they found that Hogwarts had completely changed.

It seemed that a major renovation had taken place overnight.

Two huge rooster statues appeared at the door of each college lounge, and they kept crowing.

There were also more rooster portraits in the corridor, howling there, forcing the surrounding human portraits to cover their ears with disgust on their faces.

Even the stone guards or armored guards made chicken cries from time to time.

This made Hogwarts, the magic school, seem to have become a market for selling chickens.

Hogwarts Chicken School?

These changes made some junior wizards curious and didn’t understand why such a change was made.

But the senior wizards were a little aware of the reason.

Combined with the previous incident of Jennings being petrified, they keenly guessed that it was a basilisk that attacked her.

As Harry said, not everyone is a fool.

Especially NEW In the TS exam, there are questions about the Basilisk, a highly dangerous man-made dark magic creature, every year.

This highly dangerous dark magic creature has a conspicuous weakness, it is afraid of the sound of a rooster (Liao Liao Zhao). The only creature that meets these conditions is the Basilisk.

This made them feel lucky for Jennings, who did not look directly into the eyes of the Basilisk, but looked through the makeup mirror, otherwise he would not have been petrified, but buried in the ground.

After Jennings guessed the truth, he was scared and had to hold a doll that made a rooster sound every day before he dared to walk in the castle.

Seniors The students knew about it, and soon the students in the lower grades also knew about it.

But after they knew about the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, the arrangement in Hogwarts did not keep these young wizards who had just left home safe.

They could only write letters home to ask their parents to comfort them or protect them with some magic props.

So in the following days, when everyone was eating in the hall, they would always see red howler letters sent to Dumbledore.

But no one could hear the content of the howler letter. The old man’s strength could ensure that the howling in the letter would not be leaked to anyone except him.
