Drag Sister to Dominate Hogwarts

The huge snake skin was displayed in front of everyone, and Lockhart felt like he was about to faint.

But now he was in a different situation. He was not forced to jump out of the secret room by two little wizards, but was not brought down by Dumbledore to explore.

Of course he didn't really have to faint, after all he couldn't have snatched the wand from Dumbledore anyway.

"Gentlemen, we have countless hours to study it."

Dumbledore spoke, although his voice was calm, but his tone was somewhat urgent.

"Now our goal is to find the basilisk."

Now that Dumbledore had spoken, the rest naturally chose to obey.

They went all the way along the tunnel, and soon came to a stone wall.

It was carved with two intertwined snakes, with large, shining emeralds in their eyes.

Seeing this scene, everyone except Lockhart cheered up, they knew that the chamber of secrets was just ahead.

"What should we do next, blow up this wall, like just now?"

Although Lockhart tried his best to put forward his opinions and show his sense of presence.

But his words always give people a sense of mockery.

"It's not going to be easy...the wall is enchanted."

Newt stepped forward to check, and could feel that the wall was very thick, and it couldn't be broken by ordinary spells.

At the same time, there are also fluctuations of magic power inside, which prevents wizards from using ordinary means to cross the wall and enter inside.

Newt is very good at using Apparition to pass through obstacles for short distances, which is quite effective in combat.

But facing this wall, he dared not do so.

"Dumbledore, what is the normal way to open the Chamber of Secrets?"

"It's Parseltongue."

Dumbledore replied without hesitation that he had tried his best to find information about the Chamber of Secrets.

"But Parseltongue needs blood inheritance to learn. It is a magical language, which is different from other magical animal languages."

Newt pressed, "And you wouldn't?"

Dumbledore shook his head: "I can only speak the pronunciation of the snake language, but there is no magic in my snake language, and I can't communicate with snakes at all."

Lockhart's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"Is it a Parseltongue like Harry's? Could it be possible to open this secret room with Parseltongue?"

"Professor Lockhart, Parseltongue and Parseltongue are still different, the difference is whether there is magic power or not."

Dumbledore patiently explained to Lockhart: "Simply recording the pronunciation of Parseltongue will not have any effect."

"In case, it won't waste anything to try."

Lockhart stalked, and Dumbledore was speechless for a while.

If the secret room can be opened simply by recording the pronunciation of Parseltongue, then the secret room is too easy to open, right?

But seeing everyone looking at him, Dumbledore nodded.

Like the basilisk, say the syllable "open".

In the next second, the snake's eyes lit up, as if it were alive.

The stone wall split in the middle, and slowly slid and disappeared on either side, revealing a circular gate.

"It really worked!"

Lockhart jumped up excitedly, and was the first to rush to the door.

Seeing the darkness inside, the smile on his face disappeared, and he stepped back from the crowd.

"Professor Dumbledore, it's up to you."

Lockhart's cowardly appearance made some wizards laugh out loud.

Dumbledore didn't have time to laugh at Lockhart, he was still immersed in his doubts that the Chamber of Secrets had just been opened.

If he had known that the secret room could be opened so easily, he would have rushed down by himself.

(This paragraph is a joke, please don’t be serious, after all, this is the logic in the original book.)

"Please be prepared, the basilisk may appear at any time."

However, Dumbledore quickly adjusted his mentality. He clicked his glasses with his wand, and the glasses instantly turned into a magic mirror with a strange shape.

The rest of the people also put on special glasses one by one. With such a pair of glasses, even if they accidentally stared at the basilisk, they could at least save their lives.

Lockhart was dumbfounded, watching the group of people in front of him turn into a man with sunglasses in the dark underground, but he saw nothing.

"Put it on, it's a spare."

Newt thoughtfully took out a pair of glasses, and Lockhart quickly put them on as if he had found a treasure.

Then, Dumbledore took the lead and walked into the secret room.

The chamber is flanked by giant snake heads, and at the end of the chamber is the head of a gigantic statue of Slytherin.

When seeing the head of this statue, everyone immediately noticed the ambition of the founder of Slytherin House.

What he wanted was obviously more than just becoming the dean of a college.

"Slytherin's ambitions really have never changed."

Some wizards sighed, and the rest echoed in low voices.

This time, no one in the group was from Slytherin.

It can only be said that Cassandra, a Slytherin who likes magical animals, is an outlier among Slytherins. Slytherins are generally not close to snakes and magical animals.

"If he is still alive, he must be mad again by now."

Lockhart also complained along the atmosphere: "Not only are we not descendants of Slytherin, but we don't even have a single person from Slytherin House."

"It was probably the greatest insult to him."

Everyone laughed together, and even Newt couldn't help laughing.

"We should still respect the founder of Hogwarts."

Dumbledore took the words, preventing the tension from being completely spoiled: "But we don't need to be so polite to his pet basilisk."

"Please help find traces of the basilisk, be careful."

Right now there is no basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, apparently the basilisk is still hiding somewhere underground.

That's why Dumbledore asked Newt and his friends to come.

Dumbledore can't really get into the pipe, and look for traces of the basilisk in the pipe.

If the basilisk played hide-and-seek with Dumbledore, Dumbledore's waist would be broken.

Newt and his team prepared a lot of materials, all of which they guessed might attract the basilisk.

There is food, there are potions, and there are even living magical animals.

Watching a group of people busy together, Lockhart was at a loss.

He could only raise his magic wand high, counting it as a human-shaped torch.

Dumbledore walked up to Slytherin's head step by step, and looked at Slytherin across thousands of years of time and space.

He was thinking, would the current Cassandra be better and more ambitious than the Slytherin thousands of years ago?

If no one can stop Cassandra's ambition, what will the future British wizarding world... no, it should be said that the entire wizarding world will look like?

Time passed by every minute and every second, and everyone performed their duties.

Apart from Lockhart, there wasn't even a single slacker.

Lockhart yawned, stomped his feet, moved his body, and finally gave up even the human torch.

At first, the wizards looked at Lockhart a few times, but then they didn't care what Lockhart did.

Lockhart ran directly to the threshold, sat on the door frame, and began to sleep with his head against the wall.

Slowly, Lockhart made fewer and fewer sounds, as if he had fallen asleep.

But he opened his eyes and secretly looked at the people who were still busy.

Finding that no one was paying attention to him anymore, he slowly leaned back and exited the secret room, and came outside the secret room.

Then his lips moved, and a standard snake language came out of his mouth.

"Locked forever."

The walls began to move again, and the door began to close slowly.

Dumbledore turned around suddenly, seeing Lockhart's pupils constricted outside the door of the secret room, and subconsciously wanted to Apparate to prevent Lockhart from escaping.

With the door open, Dumbledore could of course Apparate.

But at this moment, a spell was shot from Lockhart's back, hit the wall, and Dumbledore, who had Apparated, was forcibly bounced back.

It was the anti-apparition spell, a spell that Lockhart couldn't learn!

Lockhart turned his head subconsciously, just in time to see a person take off the invisibility cloak and slowly reveal his figure.

Small figure, blond hair, wearing a mask.

This scene was also seen by Dumbledore, and he wanted to try to rush out, but a green light shot at Dumbledore along with the girl's hoarse voice.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Dumbledore can only dodge, and Avada Kedavra cannot directly resist with any spell.

After being blocked twice in a row, the door of the secret room finally closed.

At the last moment, Dumbledore only vaguely heard a word from Lockhart.

"You finally came!"

The blonde girl took off her mask, and it turned out to be Luna.

He looked at Lockhart, showing a satisfied smile: "Good job."
