Study Days at Hogwarts

efficient!

After the yellow powder exploded, the realgar powder completely covered a large area in front. The black snake summoned by "Oolong out of the hole!" became very anxious and instinctively wanted to stay away from the area covered by the realgar powder.

The statement that snakes hate realgar is undoubtedly correct, but I don’t know if this trick will be effective on the basilisk!

Although the basilisk is also a snake, it is a very dangerous dark creature after all. No one dares to treat the basilisk as an ordinary snake, otherwise they will definitely lose their lives.

Albert waved his wand gently, turning the black snake hiding in the corner into a cloud of smoke. Then he walked to the table, picked up the metal box, and put away the remaining snake repellent bullets made of realgar powder.

By the way, remember to mix something in next time, preferably so stinging that the basilisk can't open its eyes. If this could be done, the threat posed by the basilisk's eyes would be eliminated.

That's a good idea, let's write it down first.

After closing the notebook, Albert closed his eyes. The fireplace in the Room of Requirement disappeared, and many windows suddenly appeared around the room. Sunlight shone in through the window glass, instantly dispelling the dim and gloomy atmosphere in the room.

Albert immediately opened all the windows and used magic to roll out all the realgar powder in the room.

Realgar is poisonous. If you accidentally poison yourself, you will be really unlucky.

Albert stood by the window, lifted the bubble spell on his head, took a deep breath, looked at the students playing and laughing in the sunshine in the courtyard outside, and couldn't help but sigh: "Humans are such forgetful creatures."

There was obviously an attack not long ago, but everyone has actually forgotten about it now.

I really don’t know what their expressions will be like when the attack happens again.

It must be fun!

Now my plan has been gradually improved.

It won't be too long before we close the door and let Tom go.

An owl flew into the Room of Requirement through the window, landed on the desk next to the window, and threw a thick letter on the table.

It looked around and saw that there was no food on Albert's side. It gave a tired cry and quickly flapped its wings and flew away.

"So realistic."

Albert picked up the envelope and found that the letter was from Louise and was written in English. I have to say that the beautiful French girl is getting better and better in English.

Albert didn't open the letter in a hurry, but stuffed it into his pocket, tidied the room carefully, got up and left.

When passing the corner, Albert almost bumped into Hermione who was in a hurry. Miss Granger seemed to be relieved when she saw Albert.

"You are here. I have been looking for you for a long time." Hermione reached out and grabbed Albert's hand before he could speak, and pulled him into a secret classroom.

"I know, I know how that big ugly snake hid itself." Hermione's whole body was trembling, and she didn't know whether it was excitement or nervousness.

"What did you find?" Albert asked directly.

"Pipes, there are many pipes in the school. They extend in all directions. The basilisk must be moving quickly through the pipes in the school, so everyone..."

At this moment, Hermione's voice stopped suddenly. She saw Albert making a shushing gesture towards her, raising his finger and pointing to the corridor outside the classroom. Nick, who was almost headless, walked through the wall and saw the two of them. After being stunned for a moment, he greeted the two of them with a smile, "Sorry, I hope I didn't disturb your date."

"We didn't..." Hermione was misunderstood, and her cheeks instantly turned red. She seemed to want to refute, but was interrupted by Albert.

"Is something wrong?"

Albert looked at the ghost in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly, "You just overheard it."

"I didn't eavesdrop, it was just an accident." The almost headless Nick was stared at by Albert for several minutes, and finally gave in, "Okay, I just thought I heard you guys talking about the secret room."

"A guess!"

Albert said to Nick: "We think the monster in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is some kind of big snake. It is said that there is a snake king that can live for thousands of years."

"You mean there is a big snake wandering around the castle?" Nick's eyes widened and he murmured in disbelief, "But, I have been in school for so long and I have never met your so-called snake king. If the snake king It's so big that it's impossible not to be discovered. Sorry, I'm not..."

"This is just speculation." Albert reminded calmly: "It's best not to let others know, it may cause panic. After all, no one wants a big snake around them."

"Does Dumbledore know?" Nick asked: "He asked us to pay attention to the situation in the castle."

"I think Principal Dumbledore should think so too. He may be just short of finding the prisoner and finding the location of the secret room." Albert said about his analysis.

"A big snake that has lived for a thousand years sounds a bit ridiculous. If it is really like this, it would be terrible. However, if the monster in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is a big snake, it would be quite reasonable." Nick murmured Floated away muttering to himself.

"Your sense of confidentiality is still very poor!"

After watching Nick float away, Albert turned back to Hermione beside him and said, "Sooner or later this will harm you."

"Does Dumbledore really know already?" Hermione asked again. She had heard Albert say similar words more than once.

"You can go to Principal Dumbledore, or tell Potter your speculations, and let him go to the principal to talk about these nonsense." Albert paused, thought for a while, and continued: "The latter may be Not very sexy, and I think Porter may lack the courage to come forward and tell the truth."

"Confess what?"

"the truth."

"The truth?" Hermione looked shocked.

"Yes, the truth." Albert said, "Potter is definitely not willing to risk his secrets with others. Even I have secrets that I don't want to tell."

"Then where do you think the Chamber of Secrets will be?" Hermione wisely changed the topic.

"Underground!" Albert said without thinking, "Slytherin likes to go underground. Don't forget, their common room is underground."

Hermione felt that Albert's statement that Slytherins like to burrow underground was very appropriate, but it was undoubtedly correct.

"I actually guessed the pipeline you mentioned, but the question is where is the entrance to the pipeline?" Albert asked back: "You should know that Fred and George know a lot of secret passages in the castle. If such a place There are so many that it is impossible not to find them, so there must be only one entrance, and it is very secret. You may need to use Parseltongue to open it, otherwise it would be impossible for someone to open it after 50 years. Of course, these are all my guesses, but I think the principal Guess it’s actually not hard to think of these things.”

"I'm going to find Harry." Hermione said and left in a hurry.
