Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

The four little ones couldn't laugh for long before they couldn't laugh anymore.

Harry heard that strange sound again, and he knew that someone else was about to be killed, so he quickly led the others to chase after the sound.

Then they saw Sir Nick floating in mid-air, his neck and head separated, and Justin lying on the ground, petrified.

Harry wanted to go check on the situation, but Kevin stopped him. Sure enough, Filch came out a short while later and saw what was happening.

He once again indiscriminately accused Harry of being the murderer.

"Filch! Watch your mouth!"

Kevin said to Filch in a deep voice, sounding as if he was about to resort to violence at the slightest provocation.

"Kevin!"

However, Professor McGonagall arrived the next moment and stopped Kevin's unreasonable behavior once again.

"Professor McGonagall, we just happened to be passing by and we even ran into Hagrid. You can ask him to confirm it if you don't believe me." Kevin calmly distanced himself from them, not giving Filch the chance to wrongly accuse them.

"I understand, children, but things are getting increasingly serious. I need you to go to Professor Dumbledore and let him handle it." Professor McGonagall certainly didn't suspect Kevin and the others, but the situation was now beyond her control.

Then she arranged for Filch to take Justin to the infirmary and, while he was there, to ask Professor Snape for a bottle of Mandrake Restorative Essence.

Mrs. Lorris and Colin have already used the Mandrake Restorative Elixir.

When Colin woke up, he only said that he saw a pair of yellow eyes in the camera before losing consciousness.

It can't be considered intelligence at all.

Professor McGonagall left with the four children. Before leaving, Harry once again saw a swarm of spiders lined up neatly and crawling out of the window.

Kevin saw it too, but he didn't say anything; they needed to follow Professor McGonagall first.

They arrived at a statue of a griffin with outstretched wings. Several people stood inside, and Professor McGonagall said, "Iced lemonade."

The statue began to rotate, revealing a staircase that led the four of them to Dumbledore's floor.

They entered the office, but Dumbledore was not there; only a large red bird sat on the desk.

Phoenix, Fox.

In the movie, Dumbledore only mentioned that the phoenix can be reborn from the ashes, bear the weight of several adults, and that its tears can heal wounds. However, Kevin felt that there might be some unknown abilities. Kevin forgot which movie it was, but there was a scene where the phoenix stood on Dumbledore's head, and with a clap of Dumbledore's hands, they turned into fire and disappeared.

Returning our attention to the office, it was filled with all sorts of strange things. The walls were adorned with portraits of past headmasters, and on the cabinet to the right of the desk was the Sorting Hat we'd seen before, which seemed to be greeting us warmly.

However, Kevin ignored him. He knew that Fox was about to be reborn from the ashes, so he walked over to Fox and quickly plucked a tuft of phoenix tail feathers.

Fox screamed, then suddenly burst into flames and turned to ashes.

"Kevin? You killed that bird?" Ron said incredulously.

Harry and Hermione were also incredulous; everything had just happened so suddenly.

"You're ignorant. This is a phoenix. It dies every so often, and then rises from the ashes again."

Kevin waved the phoenix feather in his hand: "And their feathers are very valuable."

"That's right, Kevin."

"Fox is a phoenix. Whenever he is about to die, he burns himself to ashes and is reborn from the ashes. Moreover, the tears of a phoenix can heal wounds."

Just then, Dumbledore's voice suddenly rang out from the attic of his office, as he walked down and explained the phoenix to the group.

"However, Kevin, I don't quite agree with your rough treatment of Fox."

Dumbledore, wearing a pair of half-moon glasses, looked down at Kevin.

"What a coincidence, Headmaster Dumbledore, I also don't quite agree with your handling of Harry's recent situation."

Kevin stuffed the phoenix feather into Harry's hand in front of Dumbledore, and then said to Dumbledore without any politeness.

Harry was a little at a loss for what to do with the feather.

Dumbledore looked at Kevin silently without saying a word.

To be honest, Kevin's back was now soaked with cold sweat. Dumbledore staring straight at him like that was incredibly oppressive.

The three children, noticing the sudden somber mood, were about to say something for Kevin when they heard, "Professor Dumbledore..."

Hagrid suddenly burst in.

"Professor Dumbledore, wait, listen to me, it's definitely not these children."

"If needed, I can go to the Ministry of Magic to testify for Harry and the others."

Hagrid had obviously heard about the new attack, and since Harry and the others were on the scene, he rushed over.

However, his arrival broke the atmosphere.

"Hagrid, don't be nervous. I also believe that these children won't hurt anyone."

Dumbledore raised his hand, signaling Hagrid to calm down.

"Oh, I see. Oh, okay, then I'll go wait for them outside..." Hagrid paused for a moment, then, after clearly hearing Dumbledore's words, nodded in relief, winked at the children, and left the room.

After Hagrid left, Dumbledore came to Kevin's side and put his hand on Kevin's shoulder.

However, Kevin didn't feel threatened at all. Dumbledore just looked at him kindly and said, "Good boy, I'm glad Harry knows you."

Kevin breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out that Dumbledore had just been testing his resolve.

"You too, you are all good children."

Dumbledore looked at the four children with kind eyes.

Harry and the others breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought Dumbledore was going to pursue the matter of Kevin plucking the phoenix feathers.

Dumbledore then walked over to Harry.

"Harry, I'm so sorry for making you go through all this. I'm trying my best to find the Chamber of Secrets and clear your name, but..."

"Thank you, Professor. I know, I'll figure it out myself." Harry could also feel Dumbledore's concern.

"But Harry, I want to ask you, is there anything you want to say to me?" Dumbledore looked at Harry. He had actually noticed something was wrong with Harry a long time ago, as he was always the first to arrive at the scene of the crime.

Harry hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should speak up; this ability itself felt very strange to him.

"Harry, there's no need to hide it anymore," Kevin said, hoping Harry would tell the whole story and end this farce sooner.

Since the Parseltongue's identity has already been exposed, what's the point of hiding it?

Looking into Kevin's reassuring eyes, Harry gritted his teeth and decided to trust Kevin's judgment.

"Well, Professor Dumbledore, actually I could hear a voice all the time, a voice inside the walls, inside the ceiling, that voice kept saying it wanted to kill, wanted blood, and then I followed the voice and found that someone had been murdered."

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore frowned, clearly deep in thought. He was certain he knew some secrets the four little ones were unaware of, but he lacked crucial clues.

"I think I know what the attackers are..." Dumbledore pondered for a long time, then said quietly.

"It's a basilisk, isn't it?" Kevin answered first.

Dumbledore looked at Kevin with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but did not deny it.

"The symbol of Slytherin is the snake, and Slytherin himself was a Parseltongue. Therefore, the monster he sealed away was most likely the Basilisk. Only in this way could Slytherin's successor, who also knows Parseltongue, find and control the Basilisk."

"Harry is also a Parseltongue, so he can hear the Basilisk's voice when it's about to attack, but we can't."

"Inside the walls, in the ceiling and similar places, there are most likely some pipes. The basilisk moves in the pipes and attacks Hogwarts students."

"In addition, considering that Uncle Hagrid's chickens have been being strangled one after another recently, and snakes are afraid of chickens, someone is clearing obstacles for the basilisk."

Kevin told him everything he could.

The three children looked at Kevin in surprise.

Dumbledore was the same, but he just didn't show it.

"Kevin, when did you find out?" Hermione asked.

"When I saw Hagrid's chicken being strangled, something came to mind. Then, after hearing Harry recount it, it suddenly dawned on me and I connected all the clues."

"So, you mean another Parseltongue found the secret chamber and released the Basilisk?" Ron asked.

I think so.

It's actually Ginny controlled by Tom.

"Professor Dumbledore, I've heard that the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago. Was there a Parseltongue at that time?"

Dumbledore was surprised that Kevin could analyze so much information and even deduce that there would be a Parseltongue fifty years from now.

He hesitated for a moment, then answered:

"Yes... Kevin, there was also a Parseltongue at the academy fifty years ago."

"His name was Tom Riddle, but now he has another name... Voldemort."

!!!

The three kids were shocked, but Kevin had expected it.

"That's why no one mentions who opened the secret room fifty years ago."

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded.

"What information do you have about Professor Dumbledore, that student who died fifty years ago?" Kevin intended to press for the last clue.

"It was a girl, and she died in the women's restroom."

"That is, the Ghost Lady, the Weeping Myrtle."

As Dumbledore spoke, he suddenly paused, as if he had just remembered something.

"I think I know where the secret room is and how to get in."

Before Dumbledore could explain anything, he led the four children toward the women's restroom where the Weeping Myrtle was.

Hagrid, who was guarding outside the door, was stunned for a moment, but Dumbledore told him that he could go back first.

Kevin analyzed for the three children that the woman who cried back then died in that women's bathroom, which was very likely the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, and Dumbledore did not deny it.

They soon found Myrtle.

"Ms. Myrtle, I'm sorry to bother you so late."

Dumbledore spoke to a ghostly girl who was crying in the bathroom.

Ron and Harry were seeing her for the first time.

"Oh, Professor Dumbledore, it's a pleasure to meet you. What brings you here?"

When Myrtle was facing Dumbledore, she appeared very calm.

"We want to know what happened to you in this restroom back then."

Dumbledore had actually asked about these things before. He had guessed that the Chamber of Secrets might be nearby, but he couldn't find it. Now, with Harry's Parseltongue, there was a way to find the Chamber.

He asked these questions to clear up the children's doubts.

Mommy Kristen Stewart said that she was crying here because of something, and then she heard a boy's voice speaking a language she couldn't understand. She tried to get rid of him, but then she saw a pair of big yellow eyes in the washbasin, and then she died.

Harry and the others looked at the building surrounded by several washbasins, and he also noticed that there were snake symbols on the faucets.

"Harry, try opening it in Parseltongue."

"Dumbledore said."

Harry did as he was told, and he shouted twice in a language he couldn't understand.

The washbasin in front of you slowly parted, revealing a passageway inside.

The entrance to the secret room has been found!

However, none of the four boys were afraid.

Because, right now, they are surrounded by...

The greatest white wizard of this century, the pinnacle of combat power in this world.

Albus Dumbledore.
