Chapter 133 132: Unknown Stalking
Listening to Headmaster Dumbledore's words, Lynn's brain began to rapidly integrate information and make deductions.
"Based on the existing information, although the Basilisk is extremely dangerous and a magical creature, it is still a snake by nature and has the body of a snake."
Headmaster Dumbledore nodded, looking at Lynn and waiting for her further analysis.
Hermione and the other three also stared at Lynn without blinking. A Basilisk—an absolutely dangerous magical creature; one look into its eyes meant death.
They were also very curious about how the Basilisk actually moved around.
"The Basilisk has a snake's body. In a building, the most suitable place for a snake to pass through without being discovered is the pipes."
"Therefore, there is a high probability that the Basilisk moves through the pipes of Hogwarts."
In her mind, she quickly compared a snake's body with various architectural floor plans. Since she didn't have the blueprints for Hogwarts, Lynn could only substitute them with floor plans she already knew.
The final conclusion was that moving through the pipes was most consistent with the Basilisk's body structure and best for concealment.
"Pipes..." Headmaster Dumbledore murmured, nodding. "Thank you for your conclusion, Miss Lynn. We will investigate as soon as possible."
The Basilisk was simply too dangerous. Now that they knew the monster in the Chamber of Secrets might be a Basilisk,
all the Professors at Hogwarts were prepared to enter the Chamber of Secrets to eliminate it.
Lynn nodded with an indifferent expression, but in fact, her brain was instinctively continuing its deductions.
It was known that the last Basilisk attack occurred fifty years ago, and a student died in that incident.
Judging by a book in the Library that briefly mentioned Hogwarts ghosts, Moaning Myrtle from the second-floor girls' washroom died exactly fifty years ago.
Therefore, Moaning Myrtle should be the victim of the Basilisk attack fifty years ago, and the place of death was the second-floor girls' washroom.
Furthermore, considering this Basilisk attack happened right outside the second-floor girls' washroom, the place where the Basilisk enters and exits—the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets—should be in that same washroom.
In the flow of her thoughts, Lynn easily deduced the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.
However, Headmaster Dumbledore didn't ask any further. He smiled and stroked his beard at the five young witches.
"Thank you five for making the trip to listen to an old man's ramblings."
"It's getting late. You should return to your respective common rooms. There's a Quidditch match tomorrow morning, and I imagine you wouldn't want to miss it."
As he spoke, he winked at Lynn. "Miss Lynn, remember to go watch the match tomorrow as well. It's the weekend, so get some good rest."
Although the thought that she shouldn't slack off still popped up in her head, the world was different now, and she should follow the instructions of the Professor from this era.
Lynn made her judgment expressionlessly, then nodded subconsciously, her voice as calm as still water.
"Alright, I will go. Thank you, Headmaster Dumbledore."
