Chapter 197 Myrtle
I have to say that the only feeling I had when playing the dungeon with Dumbledore was...
Nothing to do.
The second door lock was unlocked by myself. The follow-up was even simpler. The huge sculpture of Slytherin and a basilisk just killed the mirror and were then locked to death by the water - the eyes were blocked by the mirror. The fragments were locked, and the entire snake was tightly trapped by dozens of water-like ropes, which could only be visited by people.
"There's only one basilisk..."
Dumbledore ordered the new Transfiguration Doll to be inspected and shook his head in disappointment, "Maybe there are other things left, but they were probably moved away during the decoration a few hundred years ago, or the last one." Time…no more anyway.”
'So the harvest from this adventure is...a basilisk, a relatively fresh snake slough, two barely usable snake sloughs, and a secret room? Quite poor resources...'
It's not Andrew's disparagement - if it weren't for the gimmick of the Chamber of Secrets, this thing wouldn't even be enough for Dumbledore to take action.
Professor Snape, who originally seemed a little happy, didn't look very good at the moment - after all, this is the place left by Slytherin, and no matter what the distribution, there must be a share of Slytherin House, but the current situation, A snake skin is the limit...
"A thousand-year-old basilisk..."
Percy was still a little impressed now, "It's unimaginable."
"It's not hard to imagine. This level of imagination is not even as good as if you went out and said you were the heir of Slytherin, so you discovered the secret room and turned it in to the school."
Andrew joked in a low voice with Percy who was lagging behind, "Then you can go to the Slytherin common room and point at those people's noses and curse blood."
"I'm not crazy, I'm going to do something stupid like this."
Percy rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "Our family has been Gryffindor for generations! Besides, it's not like the Chamber of Secrets has never been opened before, so no one can pretend to be one."
"Opened it?"
Andrew was stunned for a moment, is that so? Can't remember clearly...
"Yes, there are still victims, but almost no one mentions it. I only heard about it when I was a child."
Hmm... The victim, I have an impression... Andrew finally remembered. Yes, the victim is Myrtle...
Andrew sighed, and the original mood that seemed to be a duplicate disappeared.
It’s really…
Voldemort, the one who should have penetrated Azkaban when he was at Hogwarts.
"Professor," he was silent for a while and quickly walked up to Professor McGonagall, "How should we deal with that basilisk?"
"After notifying Warren, he will be executed. The materials after the execution will be handed over to Professor Snape. After all, this is the property of Slytherin House."
"Warren?"
"Well, it's the little girl above. Although she looks like a little girl, she actually entered the school even earlier than me." Professor McGonagall shook her head, "But before I entered the school, the tragedy happened."
This is what it looks like...
There is no fairer act than to execute one of the murderers in front of his victim.
Andrew no longer had any doubts, and retreated, falling into silence like the others.

"Kill, a snake?"
Myrtle looked at Andrew?
“What does the snake have to do with me?”
Myrtle looked at Andrew and smiled silly.
"Don't you have the slightest memory of your death?"
Andrew looked up and looked at Myrtle in surprise.
"Of course, I was asked about it, but then no one cared anymore. Instead, people from the Ministry of Magic began to expel me and keep me away from Olive Humbey."
? ? ? Is the Ministry of Magic so indifferent?
"Hasn't anyone investigated?"
"Yes?"
Myrtle thought for a moment and thought about it.
"I had been missing for a long time. Many professors went to Professor Dippet to accuse me of truancy. Only then did the principal order people to look for me, and then they found out that I was dead...in this innermost compartment."
"That's it, it's over?"
"Well, no? Professor Dippet was very angry. Yes, he was very angry and ordered a strict investigation. That was basically the only time when anyone asked me how I died... But I forgot what I said, um, You don’t know how scared Olive Humbe looked at that time, I bet she won’t forget it even after she dies…”
…
Ghost obsession.
Are you more concerned about Olive Humbe's feelings than your death?
"No one was dealt with?"
"Yes? I said I was stared at by a pair of strange eyes, and then I died, and then...well, it seemed to be Hagrid? Yes, it should be him, he was fired, but Dumbledore protected him …Just getting fired…it’s so…”
Why are you harmonious again? It seems that Hagrid has been falsely accused.
But, you don’t care at all about Hagrid? Or do you feel that Dumbledore's patronage makes you sad?
No, it should be the obsession of the ghost...
Does Olive Humbe... care so much?
"That Olive Humbey, do you still have an impression of her?"
"Of course, I kept pestering her when she was studying, and then, um, then, when she graduated? Then when her brother got married, I made a fuss again. , finally, finally...well, then I was expelled from the Ministry of Magic and couldn't go to her, so I had to stay in Hogwarts."
Until graduation, no, even until my brother gets married.
Andrew felt that his emotions were a little torn - he finally understood why the morphological analysis of ghosts in those introductory books on transfiguration could be included in the forbidden book area.
When a dead person discusses his death with you, even death itself is not something he cares about. He is more concerned about someone or something. It really makes people feel that their understanding of the entire world is collapsing.
He no longer knew how to introduce the execution of the snake to Myrtle—he didn't even know if Myrtle would care about it.
However, it still needs to be said that actions are not only to comfort the dead, but also to comfort the living.
But, something seems to be wrong.
Andrew thought for a while, but after all he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Let's go and see the killer snake. That basilisk is your murderer."
That was all he could tell Myrtle and hope he could figure it out on the way back.
"The murderer? Hagrid?"
"There is another person, just one of the murderers."
"Well...Ravenclaw students...Okay, okay, although there are many scumbags, I still want to believe you."
She finally walked down smoothly, and Andrew was able to see her clearly - otherwise, the badge on her body was very obvious.
Andrew was all too familiar with the unique symbol, and he had one too.
Ravenclaw's symbol.
"Let's go. You lead the way. If you have to watch a snake be killed, then let's go."
