New Professor at Hogwarts

"Sir." Hermione raised her hand and asked, "The Chamber of Secrets was built by Slytherin and left to his true heir, so it is impossible for others to discover it, right?"

"Normally that's the case, yes." Xia Ran added a few words in front of the words, because he knew that the opening condition for the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is Parseltongue, and Slytherin is not the only one in the magical world. Only descendants understand Parseltongue. Harry Potter can speak Parseltongue, but he is not a descendant of Slytherin. He only understands Parseltongue because he has a fragment of Voldemort's soul attached to him and became one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. cavity.

The first dark wizard to breed a basilisk had nothing to do with Slytherin.

"Have descendants of Slytherin already arrived at Hogwarts?" Draco Malfoy frowned immediately. He did not want to obey the orders of some heir.

Harry's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He knew Parseltongue. Could he be a descendant of Slytherin and the true heir? He didn't want to believe this, but for more than a thousand years, even he himself was not sure whether he really had nothing to do with Slytherin.

His mother, Lily Evans, was born in the Muggle world and would certainly not have anything to do with Slytherin, but what about his father, James Potter?

He doesn't know the history of his family at all. If he really gets in touch with Slytherin...

Harry couldn't imagine other people knowing this news. What would other people think of him? Would they say that he was the heir of Slytherin, who opened the Chamber of Secrets and released the heir of the basilisk?

Hermione was keenly aware of Harry's strange expression, and a thought occurred to her. Combined with their conversations in the empty classroom a few days ago, she immediately understood what Harry was thinking, so she raised her hand and asked, "But, Professor?" , who will be the person who released the basilisk? Who has the time to release the basilisk to commit murder?"

Harry suddenly woke up, yes, others don't understand, don't I understand myself? How could I be the one who released the basilisk? One of my best friends is a Muggle wizard, and I'm still a half-blood wizard myself.

Thinking about it this way, although he was still a little worried about his ability to speak Parseltongue, he was no longer depressed and afraid.

"On Halloween, everyone was celebrating, and no one paid special attention to what other people were doing. In other words, we couldn't launch an investigation." Xia Ran said, he knew who opened the secret room, Voldemort in Riddle's diary The soul fragment manipulated Ginny Weasley to open the secret room and released the basilisk to commit murder, but he had no evidence.

The most important thing is that if he jumps out and says that Ginny did this, without being able to do anything about Riddle's diary, I'm afraid Ginny will really have to bear this big blame and enter Azkaban. A tour of the prison.

In the original time and space, it was not until the end that the fragment of Voldemort's soul came to the stage, and the diary of the origin of existence was destroyed by the basilisk's teeth. The basilisk's head was chopped off, and the hidden danger in the secret room was finally truly eliminated.

Now that the basilisk has not been caught, and no one knows the location of the secret room, when the secret room has been opened, use black magic such as the Fire Curse, or pull Gryffindor's sword from the Sorting Hat to destroy it. The fragment of Voldemort's soul and the destruction of the diary may seem simple and clear, but in fact the consequences are extremely serious.

In this way, not only would Ginny be unable to clear herself of her grievances, but the Basilisk would be even more unable to be dealt with.

If this continues, Hogwarts may be forced to close before the end of this school year.

Hogwarts almost closed its doors in the original time and space.

"The secret room can only be opened with black magic, right?"

"What kind of dark magic could it be?"

A group of young wizards were talking about it, and Harry couldn't help but ask: "Professor, do you know what dark magic is?"

Xia Ranxin said: How can I tell you this? He shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, I am not the heir of Slytherin, and I don't know the method or spell to open the Chamber of Secrets."

"What kind of dark creature is the basilisk? Professor, can you tell us? So we can be on guard." Hermione said.

"It doesn't matter if I tell you this." Xia Ran pondered for a moment and said, "The basilisk is a terrifying dark creature. It is not a creature found in nature, but was cultivated by a Greek black wizard many years ago. , that dark wizard seems to be named 'Despicable Herbo', and he also knows Parseltongue."

"The basilisk is huge, and its gaze can directly cause death. Its lifespan is extremely long. The basilisk cultivated by 'Despicable Haierbo' may have lived for nine hundred years!"

"Nine hundred years?!"

"The lifespan of a basilisk is so long?"

The little wizards were shocked, and Harry couldn't help but said: "How is it possible?"

He simply couldn't imagine what life could live for eight or nine hundred years, which was almost equivalent to the existence of Hogwarts.

"There is nothing impossible." Xia Ran said, "The basilisk is such a long-lived dark creature, so it makes sense that there is a basilisk in the secret room left by Slytherin, because the basilisk does have He may have lived from thousands of years ago to today."

He paused briefly to give the young wizards time to digest and adapt.

"I won't go into details about the method of hatching the basilisk here. I will mainly focus on the habits of the basilisk."

Xia Ran said: "The basilisk has a very complex food chain. Mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects can all be its food. The basilisk is not picky about food, but there is also a creature that is the basilisk's favorite food. , that’s the spider!”

Ron's expression was obviously twitching.

Harry and Hermione knew why, because Ron was very afraid of spiders.

"So, if you see spiders running around, you have to be extremely careful, because the basilisk is probably nearby." Xia Ran reminded a group of young wizards.

The little wizards immediately recorded this important point. It was a matter of life and safety, and they were not allowed to desert or be distracted.

"What I want to say next is even more important." Xia Ran cleared her throat and said, "The natural enemy of the basilisk..."

The little wizards immediately waited with bated breath, and he continued: "The natural enemy of the basilisk is the crowing of the rooster, but this is not absolute, because if you make the crowing of the rooster wantonly, it is more likely to anger the basilisk and cause disaster. "

The little wizards quickly gave up the idea of ​​carrying a rooster with them.

"Remember, if you find signs of a basilisk, leave immediately, and make sure you don't look directly into any pipes, lest the basilisk's eyes poke out of the pipes." Xia Ran concluded.

A group of young wizards nodded repeatedly and wrote down all the key points Xia Ran said in their notebooks.

Xia Ran started teaching the combat class again. Because of the presence of the basilisk, the students were now more and more interested in the combat class, especially when the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was purely a reading club.

Professor Lockhart, if you ask him to tell you this knowledge, it is definitely not realistic at all.
