Half a month after the first attack on the basilisk, another victim appeared on the second night after a Quidditch match.
Coven was practicing the spell inside Room of Requirent when a 'Patronus' rushed in and threw him a note before disappearing.
There was only one word on the note the infirmary.
Seeing this, Coven put away his wand, turned around, left the practice room, and rushed to the infirmary.
..
Not long after, he arrived at the infirmary. Inside, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were surrounding a hospital bed and whispering.
Coven looked at the hospital bed and then turned to look at another hospital bed.
Combining the information in his mory, Coven understood the situation.
At this ti, Dumbledore saw Coven at the door, so he raised his hand and waved.
When Coven ca close, Dumbledore whispered, "Child, do you have a mature 'Mandrake'?"
Professor McGonagall added worriedly, "As you can see, Colin Creevey was also attacked and was petrified like Mrs. Norris."
Coven shook his head. "No more. The 'Mandrake' from before was the only one I bought."
Professor McGonagall was very disappointed and sighed. "That's how it should be. After all,' Mandrake 'is too dangerous. Not many people in the outside world will cultivate it."
"Then we can only wait." Dumbledore looked down at the petrified Colin Creevey and whispered, "But I'm afraid that the' Mandrake 'in Hogwarts will only mature into dicine at the end of the term."
"What should we do now?" Professor McGonagall asked Dumbledore helplessly.
After hearing this, Dumbledore turned his head slightly and looked at Harry, who was injured and hospitalized because of a Quidditch match.
Slightly raising his voice, Dumbledore said, "Tell all the workers the truth. Hogwarts is no longer safe. Just as we were worried, the Chamber of Secret has indeed opened again."
Professor McGonagall was even more worried.
They did not stay for long and quickly left the infirmary.
Professor McGonagall left to make so arrangents. Dumbledore called Coven and returned to Headmaster's office.
...
Faced with Coven alone, Dumbledore showed so worry. After sitting down, he made a cup of milk tea for Coven and asked, "Child, do you have any ideas to adapt?"
"Yes." Coven nodded.
Dumbledore couldn't help but be stunned. He just ntioned it helplessly. He didn't expect Coven to really give him so surprises.
Whether Coven's idea was useful or not, Dumbledore hurriedly sat up straight and urged, "What is it?"
"I have been observing the changes in Hogwarts recently."
Coven held the cup of milk and did not drink it. He said directly, "Recently, the spiders in the castle have been running out. Even if they have to face the cold weather outside, they have to escape the castle."
"Also." Coven continued, "I heard sothing happened on Mr. Hagrid's side as well. The roosters he raised were constantly being hard."
When Dumbledore heard this, he began to consider the information provided by Coven. Unfortunately, he was unable to co up with any results at the mont.
When Coven saw this, he reminded, "You know my mory, so these two situations are related to the contents of a book."
"Which book?" Dumbledore gave up on thinking and asked directly, "What is the content?"
"Greek Natural History"
Coven said as he took out his wand and waved it in the air.
Then, a small illusion appeared and finally ford a scene, showing the contents of a book.
"Basilisk..." Dumbledore murmured after reading the contents projected by Coven.
The next mont, Dumbledore returned to his senses and successfully connected all the situations together.
"I see... I see!"
He suddenly got up and paced back and forth a few tis. Dumbledore said happily, "Very good child! Thank you! You really helped us a lot!"
Dumbledore, who knew the details, planned to leave overnight to prepare so things.
Therefore, after giving so hasty instructions to Coven, he left Hogwarts through the fireplace in Headmaster's room.
...
The next day, Coven did not see Dumbledore throughout the day.
It was not until the dinner that Dumbledore appeared again, and he looked much more relaxed.
...
Two days later, on the weekend, it was Dumbledore's one-to-one tutoring ti for Coven.
Coven was stunned when he entered Headmaster's room. Because in this office that he was already very familiar with, there was one more thing now.
It was a bird stand, and on it stood a sowhat ugly phoenix stood on it. It looked like it was sick.
At this ti, Dumbledore, who heard Coven's call, appeared on the second floor. When he saw Coven's strange eyes, he smiled and said, "That is Fawkes."
"Fox?"
Because Dumbledore was far upstairs and his pronunciation was a bit vague, Coven did not hear it clearly.
"It's Fawkes."
Dumbledore repeated with a smile.
This ti, Coven heard it clearly and smiled. "Is this an immortal bird or a phoenix from the east?"
"It's a phoenix." Dumbledore walked down the stairs and ca next to the phoenix. He said apologetically, "It is about to be reborn, but I have to disturb it and let him co to Hogwarts to help."
Coven nodded in understanding.
Although the dragons and phoenixes in the magic world were not mythical creatures, their positions in the category of magical creatures were still at the peak.
Although Coven did not want to admit that the Fawkes in front of him was a phoenix, it was not a problem to use it to suppress the basilisk.
Then the two chatted for a while, and then Dumbledore began teaching...
..
In the following days, other than Dumbledore and Coven, the others were still in a state of panic.
Dumbledore was already fully prepared but did not tell anyone about it.
Coven asked why.
Dumbledore answered that what he really wanted to hide from was not the professor in Hogwarts but soone else. He was preparing to fish and take advantage of this Hogwarts crisis to fish out a big fish.
Combined with the plot mory in his mind, Coven suddenly realized that what Dumbledore wanted to deal with was the Malfoy family, one of House's directors.
The reason why the basilisk appeared in Hogwarts this year was because of Lucius Malfoy.
It was the other party who secretly gave one of Voldemort's Horcrux's notebooks to Ron's sister, Ginny Weasley before school started.
After that, the remnant soul of Horcrux bewitched and controlled Ginny, thus opening the secret chamber in the castle and releasing the basilisk...
