The bathroom was unlit, and it was dark under the shadow of the night.

Alarmed by the slight evening wind, Lynn narrowed his eyes and did not act rashly.

If it was during the day, there might be a little wizard who couldn't hold back and came to the bathroom on the first floor to use the toilet, but who would come here now that it's so late?

He had a hunch in his heart that he didn't need to wait too long, and today he would be able to catch the person who opened the secret room and took away the basilisk.

The shadow that broke into the bathroom did not use the magic wand lighting spell. He moved slowly in the bathroom, and slowly groped for the location of the sink.

The surroundings were too dark, and at most Lynn could only judge where he was moving based on the movements he made, but he couldn't see his specific movements.

But it didn't need to be seen clearly, because soon the figure told Lynn what he was doing through action.

A "hissing" sound that Lynn was very familiar with sounded, and the next moment the sink on the side of the bathroom became a "rumbling" sound!

The entrance to the secret room has been opened!

The figure still did not use the magic wand lighting spell. After opening the entrance to the secret room, he climbed into the huge pipe without hesitation.

Lynn still didn't move rashly. He silently counted 60 seconds in his heart. After judging that the time was enough for the figure to climb into Slytherin's secret room through the pipe, he gently drilled through the entrance of the secret room. went in.

In order to prevent the pipe from making noise, he climbed very slowly, and when Lynn climbed to the end of the pipe and approached the exit, he suddenly stopped.

There are some subtle voices coming, and the person who sneaked into the secret room is now below!

The phantom spell on Lynn has not been lifted yet. He cautiously squirmed his body in the pipe like a bug, approaching the exit little by little, until he could see the situation in the secret room through a slightly inclined angle. .

The environment in the secret room is far less dark than in the bathroom. There is a green flame that has not been extinguished for thousands of years beating on the candles. Through the green light, Lynn can see the figure who sneaked into the secret room. A huge snakeskin.

The figure turned his back to Lin En, wearing a dark robe, and the color of his hair was not clear, but he was thin and not tall. From the back, he should be a male.

He was holding a small bag made of unknown fur in his left hand, and holding the colorful snake skin in his right hand, he kept stuffing it into the bag.

The small bag doesn't look big, just from the appearance of its capacity, even if the snakeskin is cut into a tenth size, it can't hold it. The bag is obviously used like Lynn's clothes pocket, which is similar to no trace. Magic like an expansion spell.

The unknown man looked very patient. He slowly stuffed the snakeskin into his bag for about ten minutes, until Lynn's arms became numb while supporting his body. , he put the whole snakeskin into the bag.

Then the infiltrator put away the small bag, without even taking out his wand, and walked slowly into the depths of the secret room.

Lynn didn't follow immediately. He turned over and adjusted his body position and waited quietly for half a minute before crawling out of the pipe.

The figure's speed was not fast, and the space in the secret room was not small. Lin En waited for half a minute before he walked less than 100 meters.

Without seeing his face for the time being, Lynn could only guess his identity while quietly following behind him.

Short, thin, short hair, male.

None of the professors at Hogwarts fit all these characteristics, and the possibility of coming from outside the school is extremely low, so there is a high probability that this person is a student.

Lynn has been a professor for three weeks. There are no more than 1,000 students in the entire Hogwarts, so it is not realistic that everyone can recognize all the students after taking the class once. He can still tell the difference with such a height (note).

If the infiltrator was a little wizard, he would at least start in the third grade, and even a child in the first or second grade would not be able to grow so tall even if he grew up eating Jinkra.

The infiltrator had already walked to the huge Slytherin statue in the deepest part of the secret room, and Lynn was hiding behind a pillar with a large snake relief, carefully sticking out his head to watch the figure's movements in front of the statue.

He stood quietly in front of the statue, as if in a daze, without the slightest movement, he seemed to be reminiscing about something, and it took about three minutes before he uttered the "hissing" snake language from his mouth.

Lynn immediately lowered his eyes from the Slytherin statue, staring at the figure's lower body, preventing the basilisk from crawling out of the statue's mouth and meeting his eyes and petrifying himself.

However, the "hissing" sound of the figure continued for a long time without stopping. He didn't seem to be talking about secret orders, but more like he was chatting with the basilisk behind the statue.

Lynn couldn't help but regret it. He should have told Tom in advance and kept him in his hand to listen to what the man said in snake language. I don't know if Tom is asleep in his pocket now, can he? Hear the figure's voice.

Slytherin didn't open his mouth until the figure stopped talking, but Lynn heard a movement from behind the statue. The basilisk received an order and started to connect to Hogwarts behind the statue. Action in Fort's pipeline.

At this time, the figure finally turned around, and with the help of the green fire in the secret room, Lin En saw his face!

It was an acquaintance, this was the first thought that popped into Lynn's mind.

Hubert McLean, a third-year Slytherin student and Lynn's former first-year roommate, was tortured by Kira, a young wizard from a pure blood family!

I don't know if it was because of the green light or not, the expression on Hubert's face was a little numb. He didn't notice Lynn's gaze in the dark, he turned around and left in the direction of the exit.

Why would it be him?

Lynn frowned. He had guessed Harry before, and he had guessed that it was little Tom who was in his pocket, but he had never thought of any other Hogwarts student.

Not to mention that in the original work, there are only a few little wizards who have left their names with outstanding names. The prerequisite of opening the secret room requires Parseltongue to rule out almost all the little wizards.

A wizard born with Parseltongue is not necessarily a Slytherin descendant, but this talent isn't very common either, and it's easy to reveal his abilities without noticing.

But Lynn and Hubert had been classmates for three years. Although they didn't have much contact with each other after that unpleasant incident, if Hubert's Parseltonian thing ever leaked out, Lynn It is absolutely impossible not to know.

Because in the eyes of most people, especially the little wizards at Hogwarts, the talent of being born with Parseltongue is equated with being a descendant of Slytherin, and Hubert's character will never hide it. , but triumphantly regard this as the capital of showing off.

Or did Hubert actually deceive everyone? Are his usual performances faked?

Lynn sensed the strangeness behind this "truth".

After Hubert left the secret room and climbed out of the pipe, Lynn did not follow him. After Hubert went out, he would definitely re-close the entrance to the secret room with the snake language, unless Lynn was closely behind him. , otherwise he will be locked in the secret room first.

And if he is too tight in the narrow environment of the pipe, he will inevitably be found by him. Lynn has no need to take this risk. He just needs to wait in the secret room for Hubert to leave the bathroom, and then let Tom get out of the pipe. Open the entrance to the secret room and you can go out.

Lynn came out from behind the pillar. He observed the back room after Hubert left. Now it was exactly the same as when he came in three weeks later. It remains to be verified whether the basilisk is still in the pipeline.

He took Tom out of his pocket first. Tom looked dazed, as if he wanted to sleep, but he hadn't fallen asleep.

"Tom, did you just hear someone speaking in snake tongue?"

Tom was awakened by Lynn's shaking, he blinked his non-existent eyes and said lazily.

"I just seemed to have heard someone say something in snake language to go to a hidden treasure, but his snake language is very unskilled, and it may be that I heard it wrong."

Treasure place?

Lin pinched his chin with his fingers, feeling that the word did not have much to do with the drawing style of the Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk, but what Tom said later provided Lynn with useful information.

"Why are you not proficient? Like someone who doesn't know English at all deliberately imitates English?"

"Yeah, that's about it, he imitated the rough syllables, but it sounded distorted to me."

This information is very important, which shows that Hubert's ability to speak snake tongue is not necessarily a natural Parseltongue. It is very likely that he learned these snake tongues from others. Unless Snake is divided into dialects, the pronunciation of Snake is different for each Parseltongue.

Lynn did not continue to struggle with this matter. He instructed Tom: "Unlock his password before saying it to this statue again."

"What's that password?"

"Speak to me, Slytherin - the greatest of the Big Four at Hogwarts."

According to Lynn's password, Tom repeated it again in snake language to the statue.

The mouth of the Slytherin statue slowly opened, revealing the dark pipe inside, and at the same time, a stench permeated from the pipe.

The basilisk was gone, but apparently it had just left not long after Hubert had finished his long serpent language to it.

The Chamber of Secrets was of no value to Lynn now, but even if he could see the face of the man who took the basilisk, the mystery of the matter wasn't completely solved.

Lynn's next goal is not to guard the secret room, but to find out what happened to Hubert.

About thirty minutes after Hubert left the secret room, Lynn also climbed out of the pipe with Tom in his arms, left the secret room and closed the entrance.

It was almost 1 a.m. on September 6th, and Myrtle had just returned from the ghost meeting, and Lynn didn't have to keep guarding the bathroom.

He put Tom back in his pocket so he could rest in peace, but he came to the entrance of the Slytherin lounge after leaving the bathroom.

"Above honor." Lynn read out the password for the Slytherin common room this week, and then got into the cat waist. He didn't remove the phantom charm, and lay on a remote sofa in the common room. Sitting in the chair, waiting quietly.

Lynn wasn't sure whether Hubert went directly back to the dormitory after leaving the back room or went to meet someone somewhere else. Hogwarts was so big that he didn't need to bother to look for it. Now he just had to make sure he was coming out of the back room. It will be fine if you come back immediately.

So he waited in the common room of the Snake Courtyard, and by tomorrow morning, he would know if Hubert had returned.

Although Lynn squinted his eyes and seemed to be asleep, he was actually paying attention to the main entrance of the lounge, because it did not rule out the possibility that Hubert would come back in the middle of the night after seeing someone outside.

The whole night passed, and the little wizards in Slytherin were very honest. No one came in from the outside, and no one sneaked out to prepare for some night tour. Until morning, one after another, the little wizards got up and went to the auditorium to eat. During breakfast, Lynn saw Hubert in the middle.

As if he had done something last night, he excitedly chatted with the two roommates around him and left the Slytherin dormitory. From the outside, he couldn't tell the slightest bit of what he looked like in the secret room last night. The little wizards in the third grade are generally the same.

After seeing Hubert, Lynn got up from the sofa chair and followed him out of the Slytherin common room.

Lynn followed Hubert for the rest of the day. But he behaved very normally, eating, attending classes, bragging with friends in the common room, and finally going back to the dormitory to sleep, and he has never been in contact with any suspicious people.

Lynn even sneaked into Hubert's bedroom in the middle of the night and rummaged through his things, but he didn't find the small bag he brought from the secret room to hold the basilisk's sloughed snake skin.

Either the bag was deliberately hidden by Hubert, or he gave it to another person at some point.

Now it seems that there are no clues, Hubert's behavior is very normal, and it is completely different from the previous one in the secret room, but Lynn obviously won't let him go like this.

After the Transfiguration get out of class on September 8, Hubert didn't go to the auditorium with his two roommates for dinner. His last Transfiguration homework was found to be plagiarized and was sent to her office by Professor McGonagall. , rewrite the homework in front of her.

Hubert diligently wrote until more than seven o'clock before he was let go by Professor McGonagall.

"It's unlucky." He complained, shaking his sour arms, and walked towards the Slytherin lounge, "Dinner must be gone, I wonder if those two bastards, Michelle and Mark, helped me bring food. "

As he sighed, he staggered down the deserted corridor. The next moment, without warning, a bright red spell shot out of the corner and hit him!

Hubert was affected by the stun spell, and collapsed to the ground with his eyes closed. Lynn slowly emerged from the shadows with a blank face, cast the illusion spell on him and himself again, and then grabbed the His legs went in the direction of the Room of Requirement.

The British wizarding population of Harry Potter has obvious bugs, not only the data in the books conflict with each other, but also the pictures in the movie and the description in the novel are very different.

So the specific number of wizards here is based on my settings.

Yes, it is like that
