Chapter 160： Who opened the secret room?

The news that the secret room was opened made everyone panic, 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 the basilisk's terrifying abilities, but also because Dumbledore is not at Hogwarts.

Daisy told Sean that the headmaster of Hogwarts only showed up at the beginning of the Halloween dinner, and then he didn't know where to go, and after such a serious incident, he still did not return.

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

"The professors will conduct a full search of Hogwarts," she said to everyone, and Professors Flitwick and Sprout had closed the door of the Great Hall, "you need to stay overnight for everyone's safety. Yes. Professor Snape, Professor Lockhart, and Professor Scamander will remain in the auditorium, while I need the prefects to maintain order and the President of the Boys and Girls Council to take charge of the overall management."

Nick, who was almost headless, volunteered to be the head of the Ghost Liaison Team. He felt guilty about what happened to Edmund, thinking that if he hadn't asked him to help, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

Sean has been looking forward to Dumbledore's return, and he plans to report the location of the secret room to the other party immediately after Mr. Principal returns.

He won't be foolish to be a hero, the basilisk is not the containment target of Sean Zoo.

Sean blinked. If I remember correctly, the secret room should be the abandoned girls' bathroom where the crying Myrtle has been staying, right?

Seems like there's a little snake around some faucet?

Sean thought for a while. In the memory of his previous life, he really couldn't remember these trivial details, but it didn't matter, the professors would definitely be able to find out.

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

The prefects of each academy walked through the auditorium: "Everyone in their sleeping bags! Turn off the lights in ten minutes!"

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

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

"I asked Professor Binns before, and he said at the time that the so-called secret room is just a rumor made up by later generations, and it is impossible for any monster to live for hundreds of thousands of years." A fifth grade Ravenclaw said the student.

"It's all true now," said a little girl from Hufflepuff with some fear. "We'll all be the ones to be purged."

"My parents are Muggles, and I will definitely be targeted." Someone was already pale.

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

Neville echoed: "Yes, if you really want to follow Slytherin's requirements, most of the people in the castle are on the list to be cleared, but then the school will not be able to open, and Dumbledore will also This will not be allowed to happen.”

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

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

"It's the first time I've seen professors make such a big splash, and this incident looks serious," Hermione said in a low voice, frowning.

"This is the right choice," Sean pulled the sleeping bag to wrap himself tighter. "Until the danger is lifted, letting the students move freely may cause casualties one after another."

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

Sean looked up at the dark ceiling, dotted with stars, like an open-air camp.

"The water pipe, the professors and I figured it was a water pipe," he explained softly. "That thing was probably a basilisk."

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

"It's very likely."

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

Just as Hermione explained to Daisy, Sean turned to another thing. Just now in the infirmary, considering Hagrid's privacy, he didn't ask him why he was fired.

This involved the opening of the Chamber of Secrets back then—he still didn't feel that the Chamber of Secrets was opened by Riddle or someone possessed by his Horcrux, which was unreasonable.

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

In the auditorium, none of the students fell asleep, and the rustling sound has not stopped, making people feel like they are sleeping in a forest where insects are prevalent.

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

It was not until three o'clock in the morning that the students fell asleep tiredly, but the professors and prefects were still patrolling. It seemed that Professor McGonagall did not catch the murderer.

Lockhart was already leaning against the stone wall and starting to doze, until Snape walked over and stabbed him hard with his wand before Lockhart smirked and continued to the door.

In the end, even Sean, who had been holding the jade piece all the time, fell into a deep sleep.

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

Fortunately and unfortunately, UU reading today was originally a rest day, and there was no class, but everyone couldn't go to the lounge or go to the Quidditch pitch.

Professor Flitwick brought everyone's homework so that they could study by themselves. However, none of the students on the long table had ever opened their textbooks, and the panic that the secret room was opened spread little by little.

Sean went to Hagrid.

"Sorry, Hagrid, I shouldn't have asked you this, but now the situation is special, 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 blushed. He scratched his messy beard painfully. "I see what you mean... Yes, I was expelled from school."

"Then can I ask why?" Sean said cautiously.

"The reason? Sean, don't you think I opened the secret room?!"
