A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 64: Storytelling

The school doctor, Madam Pomfrey, treated these wounds with a few simple spells, and then she poured a bottle of euphoria to the three of them, "It's good for you!" Harry was told He rolled his eyes with choking.

"Madame Pomfrey, please give us a few minutes." Dumbledore said gently.

Madam Pomfrey turned and left.

There were only the trio, Dumbledore and Felix, and Snape was sent by the headmaster to find Professor McGonagall—they had to go to the Chamber of Secrets later to dispose of the basilisk's body.

"I think you must have a lot to say." Dumbledore's eyes fell on the table beside him, where there was a sorting hat and a silver sword inlaid with rubies.

Harry began to tell them exactly what had happened. He told how he heard disembodied, ghostly voices for the first time while in solitary confinement in Professor Lockhart's office. Combined with the information Hermione got from Professor Happe, he confirmed that he was a Parseltongue.

"But because of Parseltongue's bad reputation, I kept it a secret, and there wasn't any attack at the time," said Harry, a little ashamed.

"Everyone has their own secrets, and they don't want to be pryed into." Dumbledore said empathetically, which made Harry feel better.

He also said that after the first attack, they discovered the escape of the spiders in the castle, and learned from Myrtle that she was the victim of the opening of the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago. Harry specifically mentioned that on the day Myrtle was attacked, he heard a boy's voice, which was also the greatest evidence for them to judge the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.

Dumbledore couldn't help clapping his hands in admiration.

"Hermione deduced it," Harry didn't take the credit, Hermione waved her hand shyly.

Then there was the second attack. Speaking of which, Harry felt a strong urge to reveal their suspicions about Malfoy. Surely Dumbledore could find out something?

But just as he mustered up his courage, Snape and Professor McGonagall opened the door and walked in. Professor McGonagall, seeing the three of them in a mess, couldn't help but hold his chest, "Oh, my God, you all What happened? Professor Snape said that you recklessly challenged the monster in the Chamber of Secrets... If this is true, I will detain you..."

"Minerva," Dumbledore interrupted her, "and Severus, you came just in time, let us listen to their adventures before making a final judgment."

As a result, two more people listened to the story.

Harry opened his mouth and finally swallowed his doubts about Malfoy, and he began to tell the key information he learned from Hermione that Parseltongue can control snakes-that's what Slytherins do, Later, he learned from Hagrid about the existence of Aragog, the eight-eyed giant spider, and its fearful attitude towards the basilisk.

"And those dead chickens!" Ron reminded him.

"That's right, Hagrid's chickens died a lot, and he thought it was the fox." Harry added, "We almost pieced together the truth about the Chamber of Secrets based on this information."

"I would like to know more about how this series of events happened tonight?" Dumbledore nodded approvingly, and then he asked.

Then, Harry went on to say that they slipped out of the auditorium to explain the situation to Professor Hemp—Snape let out a “chh”—and heard the voice of the basilisk again on the way, so they rescued Jace Ting, Harry asked others to find the professor for help, while he went to watch the basilisk, lest it couldn't help but attack others.

"That's a noble move, Harry," said Dumbledore softly.

"But what I saw was just a reckless and arrogant adventure. Principal Dumbledore, you have given them too many privileges." Snape played the role of pouring cold water with a straight face.

Felix watched with great interest. Snape really did not hide his dislike for Harry Potter, but he stood up immediately when Harry was in danger...

Thinking of what he had investigated, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"We cannot jump to judgment, Severus."

Afterwards, Ron and Hermione talked about some of their experiences respectively, and Hermione had nothing to say. She just wandered around the empty castle for a few minutes before meeting Professor Haip.

But Ron's story is much more exciting. He not only attacked the professor (Lockhart), but also took his wand, and in a panic--Ron tried to beautify it as his own brainstorm when he told it-- He came to the bathroom and realized that Harry wasn't carrying a powerful magic puppet, so he simply jumped on it and did a "takeaway hero".

"By the way, Headmaster," Ron said nervously, "Professor Lockhart's wand was swallowed by the basilisk, am I going to pay him?" His own wand was still half broken.

"This is indeed a problem. Gilderoy has been unlucky recently...I will talk to him." Dumbledore said lightly, "If he is lucky, his wand is still intact on the snake It's the stomach."

After the three young wizards finished part of their stories, Professor McGonagall said weakly, "What you have done tonight has far exceeded your duties. At least a hundred school rules have been violated—but how did you defeat the basilisk?"

Harry told how he and Ron met near the snake slough, they walked into the secret room together, and then encountered the basilisk. Speaking of this, Harry suddenly realized that he should stop near the snake's slough, but he didn't think of it at the time.

Am I really a reckless, stupid lion like Snape said?

As the story continued, the unexpected visit of the two violated the bottom line of the basilisk - it attacked Harry and Ron frantically, until Fox pecked out the eyes of the basilisk, and they barely had the chance to face the basilisk. Emboldened.

"Professor Haip's magic puppet helped a lot." Harry glanced at Felix gratefully. The professor just smiled and didn't speak. on the sorting hat. So Harry went on, giving Hermione a strange look as he spoke, not knowing when she had arrived.

In the end, he narrated the process of killing the basilisk with his ultimate leap with the cooperation of the three of them. At this point, the whole story is finally over.

Felix slapped his hands, "It's a wonderful adventure, I think your story is enough to write a book."

"Felix," Snape said with a long voice, in his characteristic, unemotional voice, "maybe, you see yourself in them..."

"No, Professor Snape," Felix said lightly, "I'm not like them at all. They're both excellent Gryffindors, and you and I," he glanced at Snape , "We are standard Slytherins, aren't we?"

"The sorting hat can testify."

He stretched out his hand, picked up the sorting hat very naturally, and put it on his head.
