Hogwarts magic is justice

Chapter 51: The Secret Room and Such...

The two shook hands excitedly, their friendship reaching a new level. But just as it reached its climax, Ron suddenly asked, "What do we do now?"

squeak! ! !

The unbridled passion was abruptly halted...

Harry is different from Ron. He is a person who firmly believes in friendship, and his friendship is not only with Ron, but also with a little witch. Coincidentally, this little witch is in the same house as them, coincidentally, this little witch is the top student in her year, and coincidentally, this little witch is the smartest!

"Let's go find Hermione!"

"Harry, if we go to the girls' dormitory at this hour, we really will get expelled..."

Upon mentioning Hermione, Ron calmed down considerably and then offered his most useful advice: "Let's go see Hermione tomorrow morning."

Meanwhile, in the principal's office, Irving said something similar: "Professors, it's getting late. How about we go to the secret room tomorrow?"

That's right, the first time was insignificant, but the second time someone got hurt, and now Irving had no choice but to confess about the locked room.

When he learned that the Chamber of Secrets had been discovered last year, and that even the basilisk inside had been tamed, the old wizard's expression was incredibly complex. This was a serious matter, and he had no choice but to summon all four headmasters and, in front of them, make the young wizard confess again.

Snape was an impatient man. After hearing this, he immediately asked the young wizard to take them to the Chamber of Secrets. But it was already bedtime, and insufficient sleep could affect height. Between growth and the Chamber of Secrets, was there even a choice?

The secret room is right there; it can't grow legs or run away, can it?

But no... because basilisks, those XXXXX-level creatures, are extremely dangerous. Anyone they look at dies instantly. Even if you make eye contact through something, you'll be petrified. I can't rest easy until I can confirm my safety.

So Owen led them out of the castle: "There was another entrance inside the castle, but I was afraid something might happen, so I sealed that entrance. So if you want to go to the secret room, you can only do it from the outside."

"Very good, darling, you did a great job."

Professor McGonagall grabbed the young wizard's hand: "Why didn't you tell us about something this important?"

Irving thought for a moment and replied, "Actually, I'm still renovating. I was originally planning to tell you all when it's finished, to give you a surprise."

Upon reaching the entrance to the secret chamber, the alchemically made lights illuminated the room. They were not blinding white lights, but rather warm, soft yellow lights that were bright yet not glaring.

The corridor was lined with portraits, of course, the kind that don't move. Several professors saw their own portraits, with detailed records of their achievements below. Professor Sprout was deeply moved, grabbed the little wizard's hand, and then hugged him tightly, kissing him passionately.

After passing through the passage, you enter the main hall. The previous dilapidation has been cleaned up, and the ample light makes it no longer dark. The improved water system also makes it no longer damp. The originally spacious hall has been divided into several small areas by Owen. There are magic targets, study areas, and even a long platform for wizard duels.

Magic is meant to be used!

What's the point of learning something if you can't use it?

The professors were very satisfied with what they saw, but when they saw the basilisk sleeping and snoring, their expressions turned strange.

"Put glasses on the basilisk..." Snape's hand landed on the young wizard's shoulder. "Can you tell me where this idea came from?"

The young wizard was also taken aback: "Shouldn't this be the case? We can't make everyone wear glasses, can we? It's expensive and troublesome. Why not just put them on Tiaotiao, so that its eyes won't lose their sight but also become harmless? Isn't that perfect?"

Snape thought for a moment, and was about to say that even so, the basilisk was extremely dangerous, when suddenly the basilisk rolled over, exposing its belly. Then it hooked its tail and scratched its belly a few times with the tip of its tail. Then it rolled over again and rolled to the side, showing no sign of waking up the whole time.

"Although Tiaotiao has lived for over a thousand years, its thinking is still very simple. It eats its fill and then sleeps for a long time, so it is not dangerous. Professor, it is better to let Tiaotiao stay here than to let it out."

Owen's meaning was clear: the basilisk posed no threat when food was plentiful, but once it was released to fend for itself, things would be different.

"It was left behind by Slytherin. I suppose it was meant as a backup plan to deal with a crisis, but it was misused by someone with ulterior motives. Now, I've talked to it, and it won't obey anyone else's orders anymore."

Snape opened his mouth, but said nothing...

The young wizard's abilities are indeed sufficient to control the basilisk, and a controllable basilisk is indeed a great help, even though its most dangerous eye is sealed, it still has extremely high magic resistance and enormous strength.

Imagine a mud cart, immune to magic, crashing headlong into a line of wizards...

The secret room wasn't small, but it felt empty; you could see the whole thing at a glance. And Owen was genuinely exhausted: "Professors, why don't you wander around here? I'm going back to sleep now, Fox..."

"Slap! Slap!"

The phoenix appeared instantly and then carried the little wizard back to his room. Molly also returned, and after seeing the little wizard change into his pajamas, she snuggled into his arms. Soon they both fell asleep. Several vines stretched out to cover the little wizard with the blankets, and then sealed the windows and the door.

After the little wizard falls asleep, its safety is in its hands.

Although people were uneasy, the young wizards went about their business as usual the next day. Hermione returned from her morning exercise, quickly washed up, and went to have breakfast. But as soon as she sat down, Harry and Ron surrounded her on either side. Harry said directly, "Hermione, we need your help."

The little witch's face twitched. She still remembered all the trouble that had happened after Harry said those words last time. The main thing was that she herself took helping seriously, while the two of them didn't take it seriously at all and just had a holiday!

Although she eventually joined in, it was only because she couldn't stand it anymore. These two idiots were just anxious but didn't know how to act. If they were to lose their lives, would the school have to close?

Hermione loves magic, she absolutely loves it, and she doesn't want the school to be closed because of a few people...

"Is it because of the locked room?"

Without even thinking, Hermione knew what their purpose was, and then looked at Harry with a helpless expression: "Why don't you believe that the professors can solve this?"

Harry opened his mouth, then Ron interjected, "Right now, the professors' minds are all on Owen, and Owen's soul has been corrupted by dark magic; he's a dark wizard now. He'll definitely stop the professors from checking the Chamber of Secrets!"

Hermione had initially intended to lend a hand, but Ron's words immediately dampened her enthusiasm. Even now, Ron hadn't changed his ways, and Harry still trusted this fool so much that saying anything more was pointless.

"Let's go to the library; there should be clues there. The secret room was opened before."

After Hermione finished speaking, she took a potato and left; class was about to start...
