Summary: The male protagonist is always wrong

Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the crisis was over, and the students were disgusted and disgusted when they saw the yellowish liquid under him.

This idiot had deceived them for so long.

Dumbledore soon returned with the professors and many more Aurors, the police of the wizarding world.

Dumbledore said, "Prefects, take everyone back to the dormitories first. The Aurors will escort you back."

Chapter 96 Harry Potter 17

No one knew where the eight-eyed spiders came from, and Dumbledore didn't explain it to anyone.

But fortunately no one was hurt.

Lockhart was humiliated after the eight-eyed spider incident, but he still pretended to be fine, made excuses for himself, and maintained his false personality.

I really admire his big heart.

It seems that someone complained about him, so Lockhart was taken to the Ministry of Magic for investigation, and his Order of Merlin, Third Class, was also to be withdrawn.

No one needs to use dark magic defense anymore.

The Aurors stayed at Hogwarts for a few days, sworn to not let a single spider go.

Justin Finch-Fletchley also apologized to Harry, because if it weren't for Harry's spell, the eight-eyed spider that pounced on Hufflepuff would have torn him to pieces.

Harry, Ron and Hermione were worried about Hagrid and went to visit him.

The eight-eyed spiders rushed out of the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid's hut was so close to the Forbidden Forest, and they were worried that Hagrid would be hurt.

But Hagrid said sadly, "Aragog would never hurt anyone. They shouldn't have taken him away."

After walking out of Hagrid's hut, several people were a little angry.

Hermione said angrily, "Those spiders want to eat people, how can they not hurt people!"

"If anyone knows this is related to Hagrid, he'll be arrested," Ron advised.

"He always thinks those things are cute and fragile. Last time it was the dragon, and now it's the eight-eyed spider. Could he have raised some other scary things in the Forbidden Forest?! That's too dangerous!" Hermione was furious.

"He's our friend." Harry said helplessly.

"But he was wrong! I don't care anymore." Hermione stomped her feet angrily and returned to the castle.

Ron and Harry were left staring at each other.

Ron said with lingering fear, "Actually, I also think Hagrid was wrong. Those spiders are too scary!"

Who can say that what he did was right?

Harry shook his head.

After the Aurors left Hogwarts, Yin Li took Harry to Myrtle's bathroom.

Harry asked, "This is the girls' bathroom, Yin Li, what are we going to do?"

"Do you know why the eight-eyed spiders suddenly ran out of the Forbidden Forest? I guess it's because their natural enemies went to the Forbidden Forest. Do you remember? Malfoy wanted to send Voldemort's diary to Hogwarts. Fifty years ago, the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts was opened by the Heir of Slytherin, and a student died at that time."

Harry analyzed, "So Malfoy brought Voldemort's diary into Hogwarts in order to open the Chamber of Secrets and commit murder again. What could be the natural enemy of the eight-eyed spider? Why do you think it's in the bathroom?"

"Because Myrtle died here." Yin Li raised her head and looked at Myrtle who was looking at them timidly. "Am I right? The basilisk killed you."

Myrtle burst into tears and recalled incoherently what had happened. Before she realized what had killed her, she had already turned into a ghost.

Harry ignored Myrtle's crying and calmly observed the bathroom. What could be related to Slytherin in here?

He wandered around the bathroom and noticed a snake carved into the faucet. He tried speaking to it, "Turn it on."

A hissing sound came from his mouth.

The faucet emitted a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly. Then, the pool began to move. They watched as the pool slowly disappeared from their sight, revealing a pipe so thick that a person could crawl into it.

Harry was in no hurry to go down. "If the basilisk hasn't come out to cause trouble, why should we look for it?"

"Yes. Aside from the time it was manipulated by Voldemort 50 years ago, the Basilisk has never harmed anyone. I don't think the original Slytherin intended for the Basilisk to harm anyone. I believe it can be negotiated with. Voldemort will return one day, and the Basilisk remaining down there is a hidden danger."

Harry nodded and looked at the water pipe leading to the Chamber of Secrets. It was really dirty.

Harry jumped down in one go.

After seeing him jump down, Yin Li cast a protective spell on herself before going down.

The pipes were filled with sticky liquid, emitting an indescribable stench.

After landing, Harry used Lumos to light up his wand.

The two men covered their noses and walked deeper along the pipe.

The pipes were filled with sludge and moss, with the occasional animal bone.

The two of them turned a corner along the pipe and saw a huge monster in front of them. Harry let the ball of light on his wand fly forward to illuminate it.

It is a huge snake skin.

Yin Li used a shrinking spell to shrink it and put it away.

The road was quite long. After turning a corner, Harry finally saw a wall with engraved snakes entangled with each other, their eyes inlaid with green gems.

Harry said to the snake, "Open."

The two snakes gave way from the wall, the stone wall cracked, and they slid to the sides and disappeared.

He didn't know what would happen next, so he grabbed Yin Li's hand.

Yin Li noticed his nervousness and comforted him, "It's okay, I'm here."

Yin Li had already sensed the basilisk's thoughts through telepathy, and it had no intention of attacking.

Behind the stone wall was a long, dimly lit room with pillars carved with various snakes.

Harry waved his wand, conjuring several more balls of light and letting them spread out, illuminating the entire room.

Harry pulled Yin Li inside carefully, fearing that the basilisk would suddenly jump out.

When they reached the last pair of stone pillars, a statue as tall as the room itself suddenly appeared on the wall at the back of the room.

That was a statue of Slytherin, with an old, monkey-like face and a sparse, long beard. It really didn't look good.

Harry heard Yin Li talking, but when he looked at Yin Li, he found that he didn't open his mouth at all.

But his voice echoed in Harry's mind, "Close your eyes and come here."

Harry heard the sound of some crawling creature scraping against the ground all around him. It was a basilisk.

It marches in the pipes.

Harry heard a hissing sound, and the voice said, "I can't get through. The entrance is closed."

Harry heard Yin Li ask, "How do I open it?"

"Speak to Salazar's statue, 'Speak to me, Slytherin - the greatest of the Hogwarts Four.'"

"Harry, try speaking in Parseltongue." Yin Li said.

Harry nodded, concentrated, and took two or three tries before he succeeded.

Slytherin's huge stone face moved, its mouth opened, widening wider and wider, and finally turned into a huge pipe.

Yin Li pulled Harry back.

The basilisk swam out of the pipe with its eyes closed.

It said excitedly, "Are you descendants of Slytherin? No one has spoken to me in a long time."

The basilisk was indeed huge, and its entire body was green, with the bright luster of a venomous snake. But the childish words it spoke made Harry not afraid.

Harry replied, "No, I'm from Gryffindor, and Yin Li is from Ravenclaw."

"Oh, okay." The basilisk was a little disappointed. "A few years ago, a descendant of Slytherin found me, but he only asked me to kill people and didn't want to play with me."

"That was over 50 years ago," Harry said.

"Oh, really? But I feel like it wasn't that long ago."

Yin Li smiled. The basilisk was too old, and 50 years was indeed not a long time for it.

Harry asked, "Did you go to the Forbidden Forest some time ago?"

The basilisk twisted its body a little guiltily when it heard his question. "Yes, it was a little too boring, so I slipped out. Salazar usually doesn't let me go out. Did I get into trouble?"

"No, it's not a bad thing. It might be a good thing," Harry replied.

Yin Li asked, "Do you want to go out?"

"Of course I want to, but I'm too big and Salazar won't let me out."

"As long as we shrink you and put on an eyepatch, we can get out." Yin Li took out a frog eyepatch. "What do you think?"

Harry felt like laughing when he saw the bulging eyeballs of the frog eye patch. This thing didn't fit the current scene at all.

"Okay, okay." The basilisk happily agreed to go out and play when he heard that he could go out and play.

"Then open your mouth." Yin Li said.

The basilisk opened its mouth obediently.

Yin Li threw a pill in.

"What's that?" Harry asked.

"Try to make something smaller if you can make it smaller." Yin Li said.

The basilisk tried to become smaller, and sure enough, its body was slowly getting smaller.

Yin Li: "Just turn it into a normal size."

"What is a normal size?" The basilisk didn't understand.

"Keep shrinking, and stop when I tell you to."

"Ok."

It continued to grow to the size of an ordinary snake before Yin Li called for a stop.

Yin Li put a slightly funny frog eye patch on it and said, "Okay, you can open your eyes now."

"Is this eye patch useful?" Harry laughed out loud as he looked at the basilisk's current appearance.
