Chapter 221: Calm Dumbledore
That night, Dumbledore was waiting outside Gryffindor's dormitory early.
In fact, he didn't think that the so-called "heir to the secret room" would launch another attack so soon. He didn't even think that the attacker was really the heir to the secret room.
Because Dumbledore knew that Voldemort was the one who truly inherited the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
Moreover, Mrs. Loris was attacked before when everyone was attending a Halloween party. Obviously the attacker did not want to reveal his identity, and he did not have the confidence to deal with all the witnesses when there were many people.
The reason why Dumbledore chose to follow Fish was mainly because he believed that Fish could detect some details that normal people could not detect, and of course, just in case.
As for the trivial matter of leaving the work to Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape, there is nothing that can be done about it.
While Dumbledore was leisurely drinking black tea and waiting for the cat outside Gryffindor's dormitory, Fish had already put on the invisibility cloak and turned into an invisible cat, quietly following behind Lee Jordan, and together they walked from The portrait of the Fat Lady came out from behind the hole in the wall.
"Don't get caught by Filch and the other professors, and come back soon!"
The fat lady gave Jordan a casual reminder when he went out.
Night walks are too common for Gryffindor students, not to mention that there are three guys like Fish and the twins who regard school rules as nothing. The Fat Lady has long been accustomed to opening the door for these students during curfew time.
It's just that sometimes these brats come back too late, always disturbing her sleep, especially Fei Xu, who usually doesn't come back until early in the morning, so the Fat Lady's current rest time is forced to be changed to after midnight.
"I just went to the kitchen to get something to eat," Lee Jordan whispered back, "I didn't eat much for dinner, I'm a little hungry."
After saying that, he tiptoed to the branch of the corridor, stuck his head out and looked around before continuing to sneak downstairs.
Dumbledore, who was standing outside, glanced at Lee Jordan, then withdrew his gaze, then calmly took a sip of black tea and continued to pass the time looking at the book in his hand.
Although Fish, who is invisible, cannot see Dumbledore, who is also invisible, his animal tracking spell can sense the opponent's position.
"ha--!"
(=`Д=)
The kitten grinned in Dumbledore's direction, then raised its tail proudly and sauntered slowly towards Myrtle's bathroom on the third floor.
After arriving at the bathroom without incident, Fish saw Myrtle sitting on the toilet in the stall opposite the pipe entrance, humming a gloomy song.
(=ω≤)
Fish scratched his chin with his hind legs a few times in distress. Myrtle had been there several times before, and he had forgotten that there was a ghost resident in this bathroom.
After looking around, Fish came to the door of a nearby cubicle, then pointed his butt towards the half-open cubicle door, raised his hind legs and kicked it hard.
"boom!"
The old wooden door was slammed shut, then bounced open again with a loud noise.
"who?!"
Myrtle, who was singing on the toilet, was startled, her head passed through the wall, and she looked at the trembling wooden door of the cubicle next to her in surprise.
"It's you again! Peeves!"
After looking around and failing to find the person kicking the door, Myrtle yelled in horror, then plopped into the toilet, causing a large splash of water.
She would misunderstand this matter as being done by Peeves. That's because Fish saw Peeves bullying Myrtle in this way during the last semester. At that time, he opened the entire bathroom door. They all knocked loudly and threw paper balls at Myrtle.
In comparison, Fish just scared her and was already very merciful.
After scaring Myrtle away, Fish opened the pipe in snake language, and then slid down with joy.
The bad old man Dumbledore has been watching too closely recently, and he has no chance to play on the slide. He wants to have a lot of fun tonight.
"Meow hahahaha!"
(●≧≦●)
After sliding back and forth in the pipe for more than ten times, Fisch, who was a little tired of it, finally remembered that he came to Ouroboros because he had something serious to do.
So he tidied up his somewhat messy hair, and then trotted to Slytherin's secret room.
"Hiss, hiss..."
With Fish's snake language, the mouth of the Slytherin statue opened again, and the basilisk Ouroboros crawled out.
"Ouroboros, good evening, meow~"
(●ΦωΦ●)
Fish, who lifted off the invisibility cloak, greeted it.
"Hiss."
The basilisk responded, leaning over and touching Fei Xu's little face with the tip of its nose.
"You must be starving these days. Come on, eat first, nya."
Fish opened his magic bag and poured out all the food inside. The basilisk was not polite, opened its mouth like a big shovel, and shoveled away most of the food that Fish poured out in one gulp.
"It's not that I didn't come to see you on purpose, meow. Something happened at school recently, and I've been stared at by the bad old man. I still used this thing today to successfully get rid of his meow."
Fish shook the invisibility cloak in his hand and explained to Ouroboros who was quickly rolling the food into his stomach.
The basilisk glanced at the shining silver cloth in Fish's hand and continued to swallow the food on the ground.
It's just an invisibility cloak, it's not like it's never been seen before.
The old master didn't need to use this kind of external object when he was invisible.
Ouroboros thought disdainfully, and then rolled the last bit of food into his mouth with his tongue.
"You still eat so fast meow," Fish sighed, and finally brought up the business, "Ouroboros, Fish has something to ask you meow..."
Then Fish told the basilisk about his good friend Mrs. Norris being petrified and about the secret chamber.
"You have been staying in Hogwarts and have been a pet of Slytherin before. Do you know who the secret chamber monster is meow?"
(°°)
Fish had a stern face, waved his fist and said: "Fish must beat it up hard and avenge Norris meow!"
Ouroboros: "..."
Even if there was no order from Voldemort, after hearing Fish's words, Ouroboros did not intend to tell Fish the truth of the matter.
So it shook its huge millstone-like head twice, and replied with a tongue: "Hiss, hiss." (I don't know, I've never heard of a secret room.)
"Even you don't know, meow?"
ω
Fisch crossed his arms and frowned in distress.
"Kanaloa also said that he didn't know, meow, I thought you would know, meow..."
The simple-minded kitten didn't suspect that Ouroboros was lying to him, and Kanaloa also said that whoever looked into the eyes of the basilisk would die, so Ouroboros was hidden by Slytherin most of the time, and it was normal that he didn't know.
"What's wrong with this Slytherin? Why does he like to hide things everywhere, meow!"
Fisch complained angrily, and Ouroboros pretended not to hear it.
Anyway, the old master has been dead for so long, it doesn't matter if he is scolded twice, not to mention that the one scolding him is the old master's descendant. Such family affairs, what is there for it, a pet, to get involved in.
After swearing and complaining about Slytherin for a while, Firth played with Ouroboros for a while and told it that he might not have a chance to visit it in the next period of time.
"Wait until I find a way to avoid the bad old man's tracking, and then bring delicious food to you, meow!"
Firth patted the basilisk's body, and then planned to say goodbye and leave.
"Hiss." (Wait a minute.)
The basilisk called Firth, then turned and went back into the Slytherin statue.
But soon, it came out again.
"Meow?"ω
Firth tilted his head and looked at Ouroboros in confusion as he went in and out of the statue's mouth.
"Pah."
The basilisk returned to Firth and opened his mouth, and a black-covered book fell in front of him.
