Chapter 128 Snake Skin
Considering the safety of other students, it will already be summer vacation when Alice stands at the door of the women's bathroom, that is, the possible Slytherin chamber.
The castle seemed empty without the noisy students, only the portraits on the wall were as active as ever.They all gathered in the paintings closest to the bathroom, dressed in complicated costumes, and had a tea party.
The combination of the savior, the headmaster and the professor itself attracted the attention of these antiques, not to mention that the bathroom might be such a hot topic at the entrance of the Slytherin chamber.
"I suspected and checked this bathroom, but unfortunately I never found the entrance." Dumbledore looked at Harry benevolently, "You did a good job to think of this through Myrtle."
"Actually, Hermione thought of it first." Harry quickly explained, and Hermione smiled when he heard this.
"Oh, yes. Miss Granger is very smart." Dumbledore turned to Hermione, "If it wasn't already on vacation, I would definitely give Gryffindor points."
Fortunately, it was a holiday, so Alice breathed a sigh of relief.Although he knew that Dumbledore was training Harry, he always gave points for violating school rules and taking risks, which would really have a bad influence on other students.
"Extra points!" Snape on the side repeated angrily.
Alice gave Snape a hand and said to an angry Harry, "Are you ready?"
"Ready for what?"
"You are the only one here who can speak Parsel, and your task is very heavy." Alice took out a crystal ball from her sleeve, "Although I brought a Parsel translator, this thing can only translate Parsel into English. .”
Dumbledore on the side adjusted his glasses: "A Parsel language translator? What an amazing invention. I still have to say it again, after Tom, you are the best student I have ever seen."
"There is no technical content in this. The most important thing is to have the help of Parseltongue. In this way, Harry has the most credit." Alice replied modestly.
It is really not difficult to make a snake language translator. In the final analysis, it is just a recorder plus language conversion.But what is really valuable is always creativity, and she is still very confident about creativity.
"Who is Tom?" Hermione asked.
"Tom Riddle, that's Voldemort's name." Dumbledore said briskly, as if the person mentioned was not the Dark Lord but an ordinary wizard.
Alice pursed her lips. Although she was not as scared as before, she still felt uncomfortable hearing this name, more uncomfortable than hearing Voldemort.
"What?" Harry and Ron exclaimed simultaneously.
Not believing what he heard, Ron even plucked his ears: "V...cough cough, isn't that the person's real name?"
Harry also looked at Dumbledore suspiciously, after all, the name was too common.And listening to Dumbledore's words, Voldemort was once the best student at Hogwarts?
"It's nothing to be afraid of, just call me Voldemort." Dumbledore said to Ron first, and then winked at Harry. "If you want, I can also change my name to Albus Sizzling."
"Zizi? Is that the name of a spell?" Hermione asked curiously.
Dumbledore smiled mysteriously, but did not answer.
I'm afraid it was taken from Zizi bee candy, Alice complained in her heart.After so many years, the headmaster's preferences really haven't changed at all.
But now she has some understanding.Life is so bitter, sweets can really bring happiness, not to mention Dumbledore has taken on so much pressure.To be honest, she was really afraid that the headmaster would collapse one day.
As if he couldn't stand Dumbledore and Harry Potter chatting in front of him, Snape said abruptly, "Can we do serious business now?"
"Don't worry, Severus." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Okay, everyone follow me in."
"Wait." Alice asked in surprise, "Hermione and Ron followed?"
"You promised me!" Ron quickly retorted, "We discovered the secret room."
"I just said that Harry's help might be needed. If the function of the Parseltongue translator is not too simple, I don't even want to let Harry take the risk." Unlike Ron's excitement, Alice was extremely calm.
Three sophomores, what will they do?Kong has a lot of courage, and he can't even protect himself.
"Mr. Weasley is right. After all, it is the secret room they inferred." Dumbledore said under Alice's incredulous gaze, "with me here, nothing will happen to them."
After speaking, Dumbledore entered the bathroom first, followed by the three little ones happily.
"I didn't expect that even if it was Harry, why did Ron and Hermione follow in?" Looking at the figure ahead, Alice, who was walking at the end, asked Snape in a daze.
"Harry Potter is just a child, he cannot defeat the Dark Lord alone." Snape said in a low voice.
"So I need help from other people." Alice picked up his words, "Dumbledore, Hermione, Ron and you?"
Snape didn't answer.
"Merlin! Boy? What are you doing here?" Myrtle just came out of the innermost compartment and screamed piercingly when she saw so many people.
"I'm sorry to disturb you. We want to investigate the petrification incident, and also about the real culprit who killed you back then." Dumbledore looked at Myrtle, his eyes full of apology.
"Oh, it's Principal Dumbledore." Seeing Dumbledore, Myrtle's mood instantly stabilized.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Harry took the initiative to speak: "I want to ask how you died."
"Yo, that was horrible!" Myrtle immediately changed her expression, as if she was not talking about her own death experience but sharing the Medal of Honor. Very big, very big yellow eyes."
"Then where did you see the shadow?" Harry continued.
"It's almost there." Myrtle pointed vaguely to a pool.
Harry and the others hurried to the pool.
This is a very ordinary pool, the only special feature is a small snake engraved on the side of the faucet.
"It seems to be this." Alice pointed to the little snake, "Only this faucet is engraved with the symbol of Slytherin, which is too suspicious."
"Harry, say something," said Ron, "in Parseltongue."
Harry opened his mouth and was quickly discouraged: "I can only speak Parseltongue to real snakes."
"Then treat it as a real snake!" Hermione paced anxiously.
"Oolong came out of the hole."
"Ah!" Hermione screamed.
Snape looked at the giant snake on the ground and showed a satisfied smile: "I'm also here to help Potter."
"Definitely on purpose," Ron whispered.
Just as Snape was about to speak to Ron a lesson, he suddenly gave Alice a strange look and stopped talking.
Silently withdrawing the pinching hand, Alice looked very bad. The giant snake reminded her of her experience in Albania.
Fortunately, with the help of the giant snake, Harry really spoke the snake language.
"hiss~"
"Open!" The crystal ball in Alice's hand became white mist, and real-time translation was automatically performed.
Looking at the disappearing pool and the exposed thick water pipe that could accommodate a person to get in, Ron took a breath.
"I think it's a bit understated." Alice whispered to Snape.
Forget it in the women's bathroom. After all, Hogwarts was established in the tenth century, and the layout must have been different then.But it's not a mystery to drill water pipes or something.
Snape glanced at Alice, but said nothing.
"I'll go down first, Severus, you are the queen." Dumbledore slid down first.
Harry followed closely into the pipe, and just as he was about to let go slowly, he felt a thrust from his back.
"Fxxk!" With a curse, Harry slid into the darkness.
"What are you looking at? Hurry down, too." Snape said to the stunned Ron and Hermione, retracting his right hand.
As if afraid of being pushed, Ron and Hermione slid down the pipe without saying a word.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Alice looked at Snape in disbelief: "How old are you? Aren't you childish?"
"Okay, you can go down too." Snape didn't answer directly, but it was clear from his tone that he was very happy.
Knowing that it wasn't time to gossip, Alice obediently sat down at the mouth of the water pipe, and then let go.
The tube is too long and sticky.She didn't know how long it took to turn around, but she suddenly felt that the pipe changed from vertical to horizontal, and she was almost ejected.
Broken, it would be a shame to fall to the ground!Just as Alice was about to cast the spell, she felt a tug.
Landing smoothly, seeing Dumbledore standing and the trio clutching their buttocks, Alice blinked, and turned her head to see Snape coming down closely behind her.
"Undoubtedly, this is the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets." Seeing that everyone was present, Dumbledore looked serious, "Follow me, and close your eyes as soon as I open my mouth."
The tunnel is very dark, but for safety, everyone can only use the most basic fluorescent flashes to barely illuminate.
"It looks like some kind of large creature, at least not a human being." Alice looked at the skulls of small animals along the way and analyzed in a low voice.
In fact, she already had a guess, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, the mouse's skull, the answer was ready to come out.
"It's a basilisk." Dumbledore in front of him suddenly stopped.
"My God." Ron sighed.
Alice looked at the green and bright snake skin at least twenty feet long in front of her, and swallowed: "Severus, how much do you think this thing is worth?"
"This is not measurable with money." Snape looked at the coiled snakeskin lying in the tunnel, with faint fanaticism in his tone.
Alice licked her dry lips and felt her heart beating fast, as if she was in love.Snake skin, snake venom, or a basilisk that has lived for thousands of years, how valuable it is!
She sneaked closer to Snape: "Remember that plan I told you about before? Now I don't think it's a whimsical idea at all."
