New Professor at Hogwarts

"Ah, ah, let me tell you, that's really scary!" Myrtle said in an exaggerated tone. Although it was scary, Xia Ran actually enjoyed watching her.

"It happened here, and I died in this bathroom. I still remember it very clearly."

Myrtle said: "At that time, Olive Humbey laughed at me for wearing glasses like a four-eyed dog. I was very sad and hid here. I locked the door and cried alone inside. Suddenly I heard someone coming in. , what they said was funny..."

Parseltongue!

Xia Ran and Dumbledore looked at each other and thought of the words Myrtle heard at that time.

Myrtle ignored the two of them and said with relish: "But what annoys me the most is that I also heard a boy's voice. This is the women's bathroom, gentlemen!"

Myrtle raised her voice, but seeing the indifferent expressions of Dumbledore and Xia Ran - only Harry looked slightly uneasy - she continued what she had just said: "So I opened the door and prepared to ruthlessly I scolded the man harshly, told him to go away and go to his boys' restroom, which is the girls' restroom, and then..."

Myrtle puffed out her chest, thinking she was very impressive, and her face was radiant.

"...I'll die!"

Dumbledore immediately asked: "How did you die?"

"I don't know." Myrtle said in a mysterious tone, "I just remember that I last saw a pair of big and scary yellow eyes, and my whole body was immediately grabbed, and then I floated away. ”

She looked dazed as she spoke, and continued: "Then I came back to Hogwarts somehow. Principal, you know, I wanted to settle the score with Olive Humbey."

She laughed again and said, "Oh, she regretted it very much and said bitterly that she should never have laughed at me for wearing glasses."

Xia Ran asked: "Where did you see those yellow eyes?"

"It's almost there," Myrtle said, frowning slightly and pointing uncertainly to the pool in front of her.

Dumbledore and Sharon hurried over, and Harry followed.

The pool looked ordinary, no different from any other pool. The three of them checked the pool inside and out, up and down, and then Dumbledore let out a soft cry.

Xia Ran and Harry hurriedly went over to take a look. On the side of a copper faucet, a small snake was carved.

Myrtle floated behind them, and when she saw Dumbledore trying to turn on the faucet, she immediately added happily: "This faucet never comes out!"

"Harry, I think I need you to say a few words now." Xia Ran said, "Speak in Parseltongue."

"But I can't say it!" Harry desperately tried to make himself speak Parseltongue. In the previous two times, he always spoke Parseltongue when he faced a real snake. The snake appeared in front of him, and he couldn't feel anything anymore.

Harry stared at the small carved snake, trying hard to imagine it as a real snake.

"Open it," Harry said.

The copper faucet showed no response, and Harry looked up at Dumbledore and Sharon helplessly.

"I don't think so, Harry, you are still speaking human language, not snake language." Xia Ran shook her head and said.

"But I..." Harry was anxious, but he just couldn't find the feeling he had when facing a real snake.

Dumbledore waved his wand and said, "I think you need a little help, Harry."

Snapped!

A green snake suddenly appeared out of thin air, coiled up on the bathroom floor, raised its head, and stared at Harry with its cold eyes.

Harry paused for breath, feeling a little panicked in his heart. He couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "Open!"

This time, what came out of Harry's mouth was no longer a human voice, but a very strange hissing sound. Immediately, the copper faucet emitted a dazzling white light and began to rotate rapidly.

boom……

The pool began to stir, and several people watched as the pool slowly disappeared from sight. Where the pool disappeared, a very thick water pipe was exposed, which could allow a human to pass through.

"Okay, the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets has been found." Dumbledore waved his wand again, and the green snake disappeared with a bang. "I'll go down first, Xia Ran, you are behind me, and as for Harry..."

"Professor, I want to go down too. What if I still need Parseltongue?" Harry said hurriedly. He didn't want to stay up there and wait for the results. Now that they had found the entrance to the secret room, and since there was still a very small,... There was a very small and slim hope - Ginny might still be alive and well in the secret room, in any case, at least not dead - he felt that he had to go down and take a look, try his best, and could do nothing, just wait for the news. Awful!

Dumbledore gave Harry a deep look, and Harry showed his determination to Dumbledore without blinking.

"Okay, if you insist on going down." Dumbledore said, "You will be the last one to go down. If anything goes wrong, immediately find a corner and close your eyes to hide. Xia Ran and I will deal with the basilisk. ”

Harry nodded repeatedly. He understood that his strength was low and he didn't know many spells. Two professors were standing in front of him - especially Professor Dumbledore, who is known as the strongest white wizard in the world!

"Xiaran, be careful, I might encounter a basilisk as soon as I go in." Dumbledore warned, approaching the entrance of the cave.

Xia Ran nodded. In front of Dumbledore, he was no longer a powerful wizard. Is there any wizard more powerful than Dumbledore in the magic world today? Voldemort was at best on a par with Dumbledore.

Dumbledore stepped into the mouth of the pipe with his legs. He relaxed his body and immediately slid down the pipe without any point of strength. Xia Ran got into the pipe and slid down.

At this moment, he felt like he was trapped on a playground slide, but the length was much longer than that of the playground, maybe a few hundred meters? He held the wand tightly in his right hand, and could see that many pipes appeared on both sides of the pipe from time to time, connected to this pipe, and extending in all directions, but none of those pipes were as thick as this pipe. After all, this was a pipe that could accommodate adults. pipeline!

Xia Ran guessed that half a minute had passed before he slid to the end. He immediately began to adjust his body condition and stood up from the horizontal pipe mouth. Before he fell to the wet ground, Harry made a bang behind him. Fell to the ground.

Not far away, Dumbledore raised his wand, and the top of the wand emitted a glimmering light. Xia Ran also raised his wand, and the glow illuminated the surrounding area.

This is a very wide stone tunnel, big enough for two or three people to stand in it. There is a lot of silt accumulated at the bottom, and the surrounding walls are also sticky.

"Xia Ran, come here and take a look!" Suddenly Dumbledore said.
