Chapter 160 Who Opened the Secret Room?

The news that the secret room had been opened panicked everyone, and after Sean told the professors that the monster in the secret room was probably a basilisk, the atmosphere in the castle was unprecedentedly tense.

Not only because of the basilisk's terrifying abilities, but also because Dumbledore is not at Hogwarts.

Daisy told Sean that the headmaster of Hogwarts only showed up briefly at the beginning of the Halloween dinner and then disappeared. After such a serious thing happened, he still has not returned.

While the students were chattering and discussing, Professor McGonagall walked into the auditorium.

"Professors will conduct a comprehensive search of Hogwarts," she said to everyone. Professors Flitwick and Sprout had already closed the door to the auditorium. "To ensure everyone's safety, you need to stay here overnight. Professor Snape, Professor Lockhart and Professor Scamander will stay in the auditorium. At the same time, I need the prefects to be responsible for maintaining order, and the male and female student union presidents to be responsible for the overall management."

Nick, who was almost headless, volunteered to become the leader of the ghost liaison team. He felt guilty about what happened to Edmund, thinking that if he hadn't asked the other person to help, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.

Sean has been looking forward to Dumbledore's return. He plans to report the location of the secret room to the principal once he returns.

He will not act foolishly and try to be a hero. Creatures like the basilisk are not the target of Sean Zoo.

Sean blinked. If he remembered correctly, the secret room should be the abandoned girls' bathroom where Moaning Myrtle had been staying, right?

It seems like there is a small snake around a certain faucet?

Sean thought for a while. He couldn't remember these trivial details from his previous life, but it didn't matter. The professors would definitely be able to find out.

After moving the long table aside and conjuring hundreds of fluffy purple sleeping bags, Professor McGonagall left the auditorium.

The prefects from each house walked through the auditorium: "Everyone get into your sleeping bags! Lights out in ten minutes!"

But the students' chattering discussions couldn't stop at all. Almost every student at Hogwarts had heard of the legend of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

Now, the secret room has really been opened, curiosity and fear are stacked together, and everyone has endless things to say.

"I asked Professor Binns before, and he said at that time that the so-called Chamber of Secrets was just a rumor fabricated by later generations, and it is impossible for any monster to live for hundreds or thousands of years." A fifth-year Ravenclaw student the student said.

"Now it seems that it is all true," a short little girl from Hufflepuff said with some fear, "We will all become the targets of elimination."

"My parents are both Muggles. If it's over, I will definitely be targeted." Someone's face turned pale.

"Who can guarantee that he is completely pure blood?" That was Harry's voice, "The Slytherin idiot who provoked Sean just now is already guilty!"

Neville echoed: "Yes, if we really go by Slytherin's requirements back then, most of the people in the castle would be on the list to be purged, but then the school would not be able to open, and Dumbledore would not be able to open it." This will not be allowed to happen.”

The voices of the prefects rang out again: "No more talking! Lights out!"

The candle floating in the air was immediately extinguished. Sean and Hermione dragged a sleeping bag to the corner, and Daisy followed.

"This is the first time I've seen professors making such a big fuss. This incident looks very serious." Hermione frowned and whispered.

"This is the right choice," Sean pulled the sleeping bag so that he could be wrapped more tightly. "Until the danger is resolved, allowing the students to move freely may cause successive casualties."

"How will that monster act?" Daisy on the side blinked, a little scared.

Sean looked up at the dark ceiling, which was dotted with stars, just like camping in the open air.

"Water pipe, the professors and I speculated that it was a water pipe," he explained softly, "that thing is probably a basilisk."

"Basilisk?!" Hermione almost exclaimed. She looked around carefully and said in disbelief, "Sean, are you sure? I once saw an introduction to basilisk in the library. It was an extremely terrifying creature.”

"It's very possible."

"Hermione, what is a basilisk?" Daisy asked in a low voice.

Just as Hermione was explaining to Daisy, Sean turned to think about another thing. In the infirmary just now, because of Hagrid's privacy issues, he didn't ask him why he was expelled.

This involved the circumstances surrounding the opening of the Chamber of Secrets back then - he still didn't think that this time the Chamber of Secrets was opened by Riddle or someone possessed by his Horcrux, which was unreasonable.

I have to ask Hagrid about the situation tomorrow...

In the auditorium, not a single student was asleep, and the rustling sound never stopped, making people feel like they were sleeping in a forest where insects are prevalent.

The ghosts kept floating around, and they were talking to the professors on duty.

It wasn't until after three o'clock in the morning that the students fell asleep from exhaustion. However, the professors and prefects were still patrolling. It seemed that Professor McGonagall and the others had not caught the murderer.

Lockhart had already leaned against the stone wall and started to take a nap. It was not until Snape walked over and stabbed him hard with his wand that Lockhart continued to stand at the door with a sneer.

Finally, even Sean, who had been holding the jade piece in his mouth, fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, everyone got up from the ground with sore backs. However, Professor McGonagall solemnly told everyone that the danger was still not over and they still needed to stay in the auditorium.

Fortunately and unfortunately, today was originally a day off and there were no classes, but everyone couldn't go to the lounge or go to the Quidditch pitch.

Professor Flitwick got everyone's homework so that they could study by themselves. However, no one of the students at the long table had opened the textbook, and the panic of the secret room being opened gradually spread.

Sean approached Hagrid.

"Sorry, Hagrid, I shouldn't ask you this, but the situation is special now and I have to know." He looked at the little giant in front of him and said sincerely.

"Sean, what do you want to know?"

"Hagrid, did you leave Hogwarts because of something?"

Hagrid's face turned red, and he scratched his messy beard in pain: "I understand what you mean... Yes, I was expelled from school back then."

"Then can I ask the reason?" Sean said cautiously.

"Reason? Sean, you don't think it's the secret room I opened, do you?"
