The Plane Merchant of Hogwarts

After Rolf lay in the dormitory for a while, he wanted to get up and continue practicing meditation, but he didn't know if Dumbledore would continue to monitor the entire school after Lockhart disappeared?

After experiencing such a time travel, he suddenly didn't want to practice anymore. But for people who are used to being busy, suddenly relaxing would be a bit at a loss.

So...my next step is to think about how to help Professor Snape find Harry, or should I go find that woman to find out more about her?

However, Rolf was sure that the school doctor's office must be under strict surveillance by Dumbledore, and his invisibility cloak probably couldn't isolate him from his exploration.

It's so boring. I don't know what to do if I don't want to practice. It's all Lockhart's fault. What kind of forgetting spell was used indiscriminately? I have to run to the Forbidden Forest to enter the training space.

If the space door could be opened in the dormitory, Rolf would not be so entangled. He teased Fat Tiger boredly and ignored his protests.

Wait, did we forget something? What is the final level of second year? Defeating Lockhart?

No, no, it's Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets! Although the second year is almost over, the basilisk must have a name! He cannot be left safe in the underground cholera Hogwarts!

Well, Rolf is actually the body of a basilisk. Although the basilisk is not so exaggerated as to be full of treasures, the venom and fangs are still of great breeding value.

In particular, its venom can destroy Horcruxes with an indestructible buff, so its value must be high.

Rolf thought of this and decided to get up and take a look, but he still had to be careful to avoid Dumbledore's surveillance. But presumably his attention was all on that mysterious woman and he didn't have time to care about me, right?

He put on the invisibility cloak, then went to the girls' bathroom on the first floor, ready to find the water faucet leading to the secret room.

Rolf slowly opened the door of the old bathroom and looked up. Under a large stained and cracked mirror, there was a row of stone sinks with peeling surfaces.

The floor was wet, and a few candles were burning low on their brackets, emitting dim light and illuminating the floor in an eerie manner.

Rolf looked at the horrific scenes around him and couldn't help but shudder. This is the world of children's literature, at least in second grade, but why is the scene here so unchildlike?

The paint on the wooden doors of each single room was peeling off and covered with scratches, as if they had been torn by something indescribable.

One door hung precariously off its hinges, creaking horribly as the wind blew through it.

Rolf tightened the invisibility cloak and boldly opened the door and walked in. He could still clearly hear Myrtle's sobbing cry coming from the compartment.

How about... I open a haunted house here? Otherwise, all this crying will be wasted?

But by the way, isn't she tired from crying non-stop, from the time she turned into a ghost to now?

He carefully searched the ordinary-looking pool. If he remembered correctly, the passage leading to the secret room should be at one of these faucets.

Rolf checked it inside and out, up and down, even the water pipes below. Finally, he saw a small snake on the side of a copper faucet.

If I'm not mistaken, that should be right here.

Although Rolf doesn't know snake talk, it doesn't bother him. After all, he still has the ability to communicate with all living things, let alone just snake talk?

"Open." Rolf imagined the faucet as a snake, and then said slowly to the faucet.

Rolf originally estimated that the chance of success might be only 50%, and he was ready to ask Harry to record an audio for him, but firstly, he did not have the recording props in his hand, and secondly, he didn't know if Harry could tell the story if he couldn't see the snake.

Snake accent.

It seems... that he should start updating his owl notebook. But this will have to wait until the summer vacation to start, because... he has recently reached the critical period of visualization and has no time to do research on updating.

Just when Rolf was thinking wildly, the faucet emitted a dazzling white light, and then began to spin rapidly.

Then a surprising scene appeared. In the quiet bathroom, the sink started to move with the faucet, making a gurgling sound.

Rolf watched as the pool slowly disappeared from sight, revealing a very thick water pipe, which could just fit a person into it.

He looked at the situation inside the pipe and hesitated whether to get in. After all, this pipe had not been visited for a long time.

In the end, he still couldn't resist the temptation of the basilisk. He made up his mind and slowly got into the pipe, then let go and let himself slide down.

It feels like hurtling down a dark, slimy, endless slide, and it's quite a bit like riding a roller coaster.

He could even see that there were many more pipes branching out in all directions, like a network, but those other pipes were not as thick as this one, and it seemed that they should be a main line.

The tube he was sliding on had twists and turns, seven twists and turns, and the slope was very steep all the way down.

Rolf estimated that he had slipped to a very deep place under the school, perhaps even deeper than the underground classrooms.

Then, he suddenly landed on a flat surface, and the winding water pipe became horizontal. He slowly crawled out from the mouth of the pipe, and fell to the wet ground with a "pia" sound.

This was a dark stone tunnel, big enough for a person to stand in it. Rolf guessed from the moist air around it that this place might be under the Black Lake.

"Lows!" he whispered into his wand, which glowed brightly.

One thing needs to be explained here. Although Rolf has night vision, night vision does not mean that his vision can reach the level of reading at night. Therefore, if you want to see the surroundings clearly, fluorescent flashes are still essential.

His footsteps clicked on the wet ground, making a loud sound. Although the Silent Curse made the shoes unable to make any sound, the ground could still make sounds.

It was so dark in the tunnel that Rolf could only see a small area in front of him. The light of the wand reflected his shadow on the damp wall, making him look as tall and curved as a giant.

Coupled with the sound of footsteps being heard in the empty secret room, Rolf felt like he was not feeling well.

Although I know what I will face next, just like when we go to explore a haunted house, even if we know that the so-called ghosts are played by the staff, we will still be shocked.

The tunnel was as silent as a tomb. As he moved forward, he seemed to have stepped on something and made a "click" sound. Rolf was so frightened that he quickly jumped to the side, only to find that he had just stepped on a rat skull.

Rolf lowered his wand, looked at the ground, and found the bones of some small animals everywhere. It seemed that the basilisk had not digested the bones of things.

Not far away, he saw the outline of a coiled giant, lying motionless on the other side of the tunnel.

The light shone there, revealing a huge snake skin, green and very bright. At first glance, it looked like the skin of a venomous snake. It was lying coiled on the ground of the tunnel, which was very scary. Fortunately, it was empty inside.

Rolf estimated that the basilisk that had just shed this layer of skin was at least twenty feet long and felt as high as two stories high.

But don’t think that because I can’t reply to book reviews, you can do whatever you want. If you make me anxious, I will reply in the chapter!
