New Professor at Hogwarts

Xia Ran's heart moved. What did Dumbledore discover?

"Harry, follow me." Xia Ran said. He raised his wand high and walked past with the light emitted by the wand - the light of Dumbledore's wand was also a coordinate and a guide.

Harry whispered "luminescent light" - he was no better than Sharon and Dumbledore, he could cast spells silently, even if it was just a very basic magic spell - and the wand immediately glowed.

Da da da……

The two people's feet made a loud sound as they walked on the wet ground.

Although the tunnel was very dark and there was no light at all, it was still possible to see things with the light of the three wands, especially Xia Ran and Dumbledore. Compared to Harry's, the light of the wands was just a few hundred degrees from a light bulb or a small one. The difference between candles.

"By the way, Harry, remember." Xia Ran suddenly remembered something and said, "As soon as there is any movement, no matter what the situation is, first close your eyes tightly. No matter what sound you hear, don't open it. Come on, you know?"

Harry felt a little nervous. He nodded, and then remembered that Professor Frémont was walking in front and couldn't see his movements. He immediately said again: "I understand, Professor."

"Very good." Xia Ran nodded.

Kaka~

There was a sudden sound of bones breaking under Harry's feet. The two of them took a closer look and found out that Harry had stepped on the skull of a mouse. There were bones of small animals everywhere on the ground. Harry could hardly control himself. Imagine what Ginny would be like when they found her?

Harry felt his body go cold, and he felt a little dazed walking in the tunnel.

"Be careful." Xia Ran walked up to Dumbledore, her breathing stagnated slightly, but her pupils suddenly tightened. She almost recited a magic spell in her mouth, and attacked forward with the wand. Fortunately, he reacted in time.

"This is..." Harry was even more stunned, and his voice seemed a little hoarse. He stared blankly at the huge creature in front of him, then remembered Professor Frémont's warning, and immediately closed his eyes tightly, Don't dare to open a crack.

On the other side of the tunnel, the outline of a huge thing was circling, motionless at this time, still in that place.

"Professor, is it a basilisk?" Harry asked cautiously, his heart beating rapidly, and he even felt a dull pain in his chest.

"No." Xia Ran shook her head and said, "It should be the skin of the basilisk."

Looking at the huge monster, Xia Ran couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a big basilisk!"

Although he remembered that there was indeed a basilisk in the entrance passage of the secret room, but he didn't know the exact size. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be shocked. After all, this snake shed was too huge.

He walked forward again to see more clearly. The light shone on a huge snake skin. It was green and very bright. At first glance, it looked like the skin of a venomous snake, lying coiled on the ground of the tunnel. , which is hollow inside.

Obviously, the basilisk that shed this layer of skin was at least twenty feet long!

"Obviously," Dumbledore said, "There is indeed a basilisk hidden in the Chamber of Secrets, and it often parades in Hogwarts Castle." His tone was more solemn. Fortunately, not many teachers and students were attacked by the basilisk. Otherwise, if there are too many attacks, there will always be very unlucky students who will die directly under the gaze of the basilisk just like Myrtle did fifty years ago!

I don’t know what’s going on with Ginny Weasley now. Is she still alive?

Dumbledore felt his heart heavy.

"Let's go, this is just a snake slough, the real danger is still in the real secret room!" Dumbledore said solemnly, "This is just the road leading to the secret room!"

Xia Ran followed Dumbledore - Harry was at the back - and walked past the huge snake skin. The three of them turned another corner, and then another corner.

"We should have arrived several miles deep under the castle." Xia Ran said.

"Maybe... we are under the lake." Dumbledore said. He took the lead and walked at the forefront. After all, he is the one with the most profound magic power among the three. He is the strongest white wizard in the contemporary era and has continuously fought against the Dark Lord Glinde. Voldemort, the second-generation Dark Lord, is by no means in vain!

Harry nervously tightened his grip on his wand.

Dumbledore seemed to be aware of Harry's nervousness and comforted him softly: "Relax, Harry, I ask myself - please forgive me for being immodest - the level of magic and magic skills are top-notch, no matter how dangerous it is. The situation should also create an opportunity for you to escape."

When he said this, Harry became even more nervous.

"Harry, don't worry. Principal Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world. If there are things he can't solve, then it's useless for us to worry. Just try to think of your last words and epitaph." Ran Ye said jokingly.

"Haha." Dumbledore chuckled twice and said, "Xia Ran, I am very grateful to you for trusting me so much."

"If I were as powerful as Dumbledore, it wouldn't matter whether others believed in me or not. Anyway, I just believe in myself." Xia Ran replied casually while looking at the walls on both sides.

With the conversation between Xia Ran and Dumbledore, Harry felt that his nervousness was relieved a lot. Yes, Professor Dumbledore and Professor Frémont are both here. What do I have to worry about? Besides, with my sophomore level—and I haven’t graduated yet, and haven’t even finished the first semester of my sophomore year—it’s useless to worry about it.

Maybe a few minutes passed, maybe it was longer. The three of them carefully turned a corner and finally found that there was no road ahead, but an extremely thick wall with two inscriptions carved on it. The snakes are intertwined with each other, and their eyes are set with large, shining emeralds, which makes the two snakes seem alive.

"Slytherin's masterpiece." Dumbledore said, raised his wand, turned to look at Harry, and said, "Harry, I need your help again."

"It is obligatory."

Harry knew what he should do. He passed by Xia Ran and Dumbledore and walked to the front. Xia Ran and Dumbledore concentrated on the stone wall to prevent the basilisk from suddenly appearing. Facing the two snakes on the wall, he cleared his throat and hissed: "Open!"

The two snakes separated in response. The stone wall cracked in the middle and slowly slid to both sides and disappeared. Harry shuddered and was about to step in. Dumbledore suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulders and said: " I'll go in first, Harry."

"Harry, you go in last."

Xia Ran followed Dumbledore's steps and got into the gap in the stone wall. Harry was at the back and arranged the entry order according to the strength level of the three people.
