Chapter 53 The Big Library and the Key

After returning to the Slytherin common room, there was no one inside. I thought it was the prefects who asked to go back to their dormitories.

After stepping into 409, Ulysses saw Gerrard who was pacing in the room suddenly lit up, and said excitedly:

“Ulysses! Do you know how prestigious you are now!”

Anderson smiled and said, “Although I didn’t go to the scene, but listening to their narration, you can see that you have done an amazing thing…”

“Such a big snake! How dare you!”

Gerald rushed over to grab Ulysses’s shoulders, half envy and admiration in his eyes.

He was with Ulysses at the time of the incident, and he was the first spectator to watch the battle. Even if he was out of the auditorium, he was close to the entrance of the auditorium, watching Ulysses and Professor Snape join forces to repel the basilisk seriously injured.



The impact on Gerrard at the time was simply unimaginable. He knew that Ulysses was very strong, but he never thought it would be so strong.

Ulysses smiled and said modestly:

“Fortunately… the snake is injured, it’s a coincidence.”

Gerrard didn’t believe it at all, Anderson smiled without saying a word.

The next morning, the school gathered all the students in the auditorium. After a whole night of restoration, the auditorium has been completely renewed.

“All students must return to their common room before six o’clock in the evening. No student is allowed to leave the dormitory after this time. Every class is escorted by a professor. Without the company of the professor, the toilet is not allowed. Room. All Quidditch training and competitions are cancelled. There will be no more activities in the evening.”

Professor McGonagall looked at the parchment document in his hand and read aloud, then rolled the document, looked at the students in the school, and said,

“But don’t worry, this situation will not last long. We already know what the attacker is and we have inferred where it is hiding. It is only a matter of time before it can be found out. In the meantime, in order to avoid another attack, The above actions were taken.”

The students looked at each other. Although there was a hunch for a long time, it was still a bit lost when this moment came.

“Professor! That attacker is the snake, isn’t it?”

“If not, I will jump off the Astronomy Tower!”

At Gryffindor’s long table, a pair of twins with flaming red hair said one after another.

Professor McGonagall glared at them displeasedly, and said sternly:

“About this matter, the school will give a detailed explanation after it is resolved. Now, prepare to have breakfast and then go to class.”

Harry frowned and looked at the professor’s chair, and found that Dumbledore was not on it. Not only that, but Lockhart, who was flamboyant like a peacock, was also absent. You must know that he must be there on such occasions, with his wild boast.

Hermione’s face was a little stiff. She approached Harry and Ron and whispered:

“Oops. In this way, we won’t be able to make a compound decoction in Myrtle’s bathroom.”

Ron stuffed a chicken leg in his mouth, and said in a serious manner, “This is a problem.”

Harry hesitated and said, “Don’t worry, I have an invisibility cloak. Be careful that I won’t be found. I must sneak into the Slytherin common room and find out who the heir is.”

His recent days have been very difficult. Everyone seems to be sure that he is the heir of Slytherin, and they all respect him.

“Speaking of this, I checked the book last night, and the snake looked like a legendary basilisk-very dangerous. It’s dead when you see it. It only takes orders from the snake.”

Hermione said entangledly.

Ron’s eyes widened: “Then how strong is Lestrange… can even this monster be defeated?”

Hermione didn’t speak any more. She thought of the scene in the auditorium last night, stunned.

Dueling club activities have had a significant impact on Hogwarts.



Perhaps stimulated by the Basilisk, or perhaps because of the strength of Ulysses and Professor Snape, the students’ interest in the duel is increasing.

Since this semester, due to Professor Lockhart’s outrageous teaching quality, students have gradually lost confidence in the course of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

And now, the flame of duel in the students’ hearts was faintly lit.

Ulysses did not show much strength last night. It was just a simple wall deformation of a frozen curse and a short sword deformation of a magic wand. Professor Snape’s Shenfeng Wuying and Bounding Curse were the only ones. High-end curse visible to the naked eye.

But the students obviously didn’t like Professor Snape. In addition to the students of Slytherin, many students from other colleges came to Ulysses for advice, but made Professor McGonagall a little depressed.

She is the real transfiguration professor.

However, when the students were eager to find Ulysses to answer their questions, they found that he could not be found at all.

Ulysses took advantage of his free time and came to the House of Requirement.


It was the room where the elemental transformation was practiced, but Ulysses did not cultivate for the first time after entering, but took out the wand in the basilisk from his robe.

The wand is dark in its entirety, made of snake wood, and its core is a basilisk horn.

“I got it… the purpose of coming to Hogwarts is half done.”

Ulysses squinted, examined the wand in his hand, and muttered to himself.

According to legend, Salazar Slytherin’s wand is a snake-wood body and a basilisk horn as its core. It is powerful and weird and can enter a dormant state after receiving specific instructions.

After a series of rounds and turns, the magic wand is now buried in the ground outside the Ifamoni School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Few people know that Salazar Slytherin also made a copy of the wand. This wand is not used for duels or spellcasting. Although the material is the same, it does not release spells.

It has only one function: to become the key to the large library.

Before the establishment of Hogwarts, it was the most turbulent time in the ancient magical world. In that era, in order to win the wizarding war, all kinds of brilliant talents and wizards appeared in large numbers, and all kinds of dangerous and terrifying magic appeared in an endless stream.

After the war ended, most of the ancient wizards believed that these magics should be stored separately, so they established a large library that condensed the top wisdom of the ancients.

Actually is not no wizard thought of burning them all, but people who blaspheme knowledge didn’t end well, coupled with the opposition of other wizards, this gave up.

The address of the Great Library is extremely secretive. For thousands of years, countless wizards have flocked to it, but they can’t find a trace.

At that time Hogwarts was the most powerful force in the magical world, and Hogwarts had only four giants. There was no principal—after all, no one had the right to be above them—the key was from Sarah, the owner of the castle. Cha Slytherin is in charge.

This key is the main purpose of Ulysses coming to Hogwarts.
