Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts Illustrated Book

Chapter 152 The Strange Professor Dumbledore
Ever since that line of scrawled handwriting appeared on the wall, Hogwarts was destined to be restless.

The topics that the little wizards talked about changed from Merlin or Dumbledore who is more powerful, which would never be clear, to what is the Chamber of Secrets?Who is the heir?And who petrified Mrs. Norris?
In the first few days, Hermione took David to find the spiders. After they went around the castle, they didn't find anything unusual about the spiders around them.

After that, Hermione started to spend time in the library again. She wanted to see if she could find some information about the monster in the Chamber of Secrets from the sea of ​​books there.

In the subsequent history of magic class, Professor Binns popularized the relevant knowledge of the chamber of secrets to everyone, although he repeatedly emphasized that those were all fake and groundless.

But everyone tacitly omitted the next few words from him, and everyone's interest in the secret room was heightened again.

After class, David yawned and followed several people slowly with Hermione's satchel on his back. He was not used to the life of class yet.

"Hurry up, David, or we'll have to sit apart in a while!"

Ron squeezed through the crowd and said loudly to David.

"Ok!"

David nodded, trying to speed up, but he was already trapped by the crowded flow of people, and Harry was squeezed out of the line, and he stood against the corridor in a daze.

Seeing this, David pushed aside the people in front to create a passage for Hermione, and the two walked to Harry's side together.

"What's the matter Harry?" David saw that something was wrong with Harry's face.

"Some people say I'm the heir of Slytherin, and they think I opened the Chamber of Secrets."

Harry's small voice mingled with the din of the crowd, and David had a hard time hearing it.

"is that you?"

"of course not!"

Harry raised his head all of a sudden, and his voice was much louder, which startled the passers-by. They looked back and hurriedly moved away from Harry and the others.

"That's it. You can't keep their mouths shut, and there are still many people who believe in you. Don't worry."

After David finished speaking, Ron and Hermione also echoed a few words, making Harry's face look better.

By this time, the corridor had become sparse, and they walked up the stairs without any difficulty, but it was already late to go to the auditorium, so everyone slowed down a little.

Turning the corner, they came to the place where Mrs. Norris had been killed. The writing on the wall was still there, and Filch couldn't wipe it off even though he tried hard.

"Filch has been here all along, and he wants to catch the man who opened the Chamber of Secrets."

Ron pointed to a chair placed under the row of large characters.

Mrs. Norris was the only sustenance of Filch's heart, and now she suddenly turned into a stone and lay on the bed in the school hospital.

This was a huge blow to Filch, and it was already very good that he could still stand here and monitor.

Walking through the corridor, when she was near the window, Hermione suddenly grabbed David's arm.

"Look, those spiders, are they like what you said?"

Looking in the direction of her finger, David saw a dozen or twenty spiders lining up to a small gap in the glass and fleeing the castle in a hurry. When he came last time, there was no such phenomenon.

Ron glanced at it for a while, then quickly retreated to the distance.

Really a basilisk?
David glanced at Harry, searched around the ground, pulled out his wand and transformed a small scrap of paper in the corner of the corridor into the shape of a snake.

Fortunately, Filch has been in a bad state of mind these past few days, otherwise he would have been hard to find this scrap of paper.

"Harry, talk to it."

"what?"

Harry stared, not understanding what David meant.

"Just look into his eyes and talk, don't think about anything, just like you usually talk."

"But what?"

Harry scratched his head, looking at the lifelike little snake on the ground, a little at a loss.

"You can call me by my name." David said helplessly.

Harry took a deep breath and stared at the eyes of the little snake on the ground. Slowly his pupils began to dilate, and his expression became a little dull.

Hissing, hissing sounds suddenly echoed in the quiet corridor.

"Harry, are you a Parseltongue?"

Surprise that Harry was Parseltongue made Ron overcome his fear of spiders, and he walked over to Harry, eyebrows raised in surprise.

"what?"

Harry, who didn't like reading, obviously didn't understand the meaning of the word.

"Parseltongue means you can talk to snakes," explained Hermione, the schoolmaster.

Harry nodded and said, "Yeah, I know, I talked to a boa constrictor when I went to the zoo, can't you?"

"Parseltongue is a language gifted by a small number of people. They can use it to control some snake-like creatures. Ordinary people can learn it the day after tomorrow, but it is difficult." David explained, and then said: "You can find it here. That's where the spiders come from, I'll go find Professor Dumbledore."

"Do you know what monster is in the Chamber of Secrets?" Hermione asked.

"I know, I'll tell you later."

The petrification, the escaped spider, and the snakemouth, these three obvious pieces of information are linked together, and if you still don't know the answer, grandpa may come to arrest me the next day and go home to repair it.

David walked quickly in front of the stone monster and thought for a while: "Iced lemon juice."

The stone monster nimbly jumped aside, and the wall behind it split in two. David walked in and stepped up the slowly spiraling stairs.

After coming out of the stairs, he knocked on a door, which opened softly and automatically.

Dumbledore was sitting on the chair behind the table eating something. When he saw David coming in, he put down his fork and said gently, "Oh? David, come to me at this time, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, Professor."

David sat down at Dumbledore's table unceremoniously, and picked up a small piece of bread.

"Shall I call you some?"

"No need." David swallowed the bread, shook his head and said, "I know what monster petrified Mrs. Norris."

"Oh? So fast?" Dumbledore didn't seem surprised at all.

"You already know what's in there, don't you?"

Dumbledore didn't speak, but the look on his face told David the answer.

"Then you?"

David was full of doubts.

Dumbledore was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for you to come to school now."

"How to say?"

David frowned and looked up at Dumbledore. His eyes were empty, making you feel like your whole being was reflected in them.

David glanced at it for a while, then turned his head to look at Fox, who hadn't seen him for a while, and the hair on his body had lost a lot of hair, making him look even older.

"Do you think Harry can deal with the basilisk alone? Without your help."

Dumbledore's voice was very soft, as if he was not asking David, but himself.

"Harry to deal with the basilisk alone? Although the basilisk is not difficult to deal with if you understand it, but you let Harry, a person who has not received any training, deal with it, then..."

David shrugged, meaning self-evidently.

"Is that so?"

Dumbledore closed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"Professor, is there anything else you haven't told me?"

David looked at the white-haired old man in front of him, always feeling that he was full of secrets.

"David, can I trust you?"

Dumbledore did not answer David's question, but threw another question to David very solemnly.

"What do you mean?"

"On Voldemort's question."

"Then don't worry, I will never be friends with him."

After David finished speaking, Fox let out a mournful cry.

The principal's office suddenly became quiet, and the portraits hanging on the wall also looked at each other in dismay, and stopped their breathing, for fear that the sound of their own breathing would disturb the two people who were deep in thought below.

After a few minutes, David suddenly felt a strange feeling. He pushed the table with his hands reflexively, and turned his whole body backwards.

"Armor protection!" David held the wand in his right hand for a while, and two spells flew from Dumbledore, one blasted a big hole behind David, and the other was bounced to the table beside him, throwing it away. It shattered into powder, and all the things on it fell to the ground.

"professor?"

David stood there, wand in hand, not sure what had happened to Dumbledore.

A smile appeared on Dumbledore's face. With a wave of his right hand, the chair that was knocked down by David was lifted up, and the table beside him was restored to its original state.

"I'm amazed every time you improve."

Dumbledore gestured for David to sit down.

David looked at Dumbledore for a moment, and found that he had no tendency to continue to fight, so he returned to his position.

"What happened just now? Don't say it was just a small test of yours?"

"That's right, it's just a small test." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"You're confusing me more and more."

"It's good to be confused, otherwise, like me, the more you know, the more you will be bound."

"Does that mean you won't explain it to me now?"

"It's not the time yet. If something is not told at the right time, it will become a bad thing."

David raised his eyebrows: "Really? So is there anything else you can tell me now?"

"What are you going to do about the basilisk?" asked Dumbledore.

"I'm going to find the secret room, and then try to subdue it, and see if it can be used for us."

"Are you sure?"

"It didn't exist, but with Harry, the Parseltongue, there is."

Parseltongue is the only way to control the Basilisk.

Dumbledore nodded slightly: "Then do what you want, if you need help, just come to me."

Hearing what Dumbledore said, David stood up immediately. He always felt that Dumbledore was a little strange today, and felt that he was very confused.

After walking two steps, David thought of a question and echoed: "There is one more question, do you know who opened the secret room?"

Dumbledore helped his dropped glasses, and focused his eyes on Fox: "Ginny Weasley has a black notebook, you can ask questions about what you don't understand, and take it out when you think it's appropriate. Come and give it to me, please? Remember, don’t give it to others, and don’t let it stay by your side for too long.”

"notebook?"

"He has something to do with Voldemort."

"The person who opened the secret room last time?"

"That's right, it was opened when Voldemort was studying, when he was still called Tom Riddle."

"Will the laptop affect me?"

"Not in a short time, but after a long time it may invade your consciousness and subtly control you, so after you learn something from it, bring it to me." Dumbledore explained.

"And Ginny Weasley?"

Seeing Dumbledore nodding, David understood that it was the notebook that controlled Ginny to open the secret room. No wonder she was acting weird all day. Ron also said that she was sad for Mrs. Norris
Obviously scared!
After leaving the principal's office, David returned to the corridor where the handwriting was written and looked around, but he didn't find Harry and the others.

Are they gone?
David went to the auditorium to eat something casually, and when he returned to the lounge, he saw the four of Hermione sitting in front of the fireplace, whispering something.

"what are you guys saying?"

David's voice startled several people, and they bounced away like thieves, and they all relaxed after seeing that it was David.

"David, why do you walk without sound!"

Hermione punched David on the arm angrily.

"I almost yelled with a horn, but you guys were so focused that no one noticed me."

David walked around the sofa and took a seat out of the way of Neville, right next to Hermione.

"You haven't told me yet, what are you discussing!"

Hermione triumphantly moved a book into David's lap.

David looked down and saw that it was "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" written by Newt. It had been flipped out, and the pages were filled with various notes. At first glance, it was Hermione's handwriting.

David looked at the content carefully, and it was the basilisk that was introduced.

"You know everything?" David asked Hermione.

"Of course, I thought of it as soon as you reminded me. Snakes, petrification, and spiders are the only ones that can meet all these conditions at the same time." Hermione patted the book on David's lap triumphantly: "I put it all together." Back down."

"Oh?" David looked at Hermione in surprise, and then raised the corners of his mouth: "If my grandpa knew the news, he would have rushed to the school immediately to accept you as a closed disciple. If I hadn't been forced by him at that time , I can’t even remember these things!”

Hermione's eyes turned slightly, and she glanced at David with disdain, meaning how can you compare with me?
"David, have you told Professor Dumbledore this news?"

Harry, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help feeling a little anxious when he saw that the two of them hadn't gotten to the point.

"Tell him."

"Then what did he say? Does he have a way to deal with the basilisk?"

Harry leaned a little in David's direction, a little anxious, if the basilisk is solved, the suspicion on him will be cleared!
"I have a way to deal with the basilisk, but there is still a problem that needs to be dealt with urgently." David shifted his gaze to Ron: "Do you know where your sister is?"

"Ginny?" Ron asked suspiciously, "Why are you looking for her? She might have been frightened by Mrs. Norris's affairs. She hasn't been in a good state of mind during this time, and she stays in the dormitory except for classes."

"Hermione, can you ask her to come out?" Seeing a hint of danger hidden in Hermione's eyes, David hurriedly added: "I have something very important to see her, it's business!"

Hermione looked into David's eyes and walked quickly to the girls' dormitory.

"What do you want to do with Ginny?" Ron asked curiously. After all, David didn't even say hello to Ginny when he came to school.

"You'll find out later."

David didn't tell Ron first, otherwise, with his temperament, he would definitely yell, and everyone in Gryffindor would know that it was Ginny who opened the Chamber of Secrets.
