I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 83 The Brave Is Fearless

"I told you, Ron was going to see you, but I stopped him. From now on, you'd better not act alone."

"We'd better get Malfoy to confess as soon as possible." Harry said angrily, Dobby's words made him more suspicious that Malfoy did it, and he had to expose him as soon as possible.

"But Orlando said that the instigator might be someone else." Hermione said hesitantly.

Ron looked around, he was a little confused now, although he didn't want to admit it, but he felt that Harry might really be wrong.

"One more thing, Orlando, whom I was going to tell you last night, Dobby came to see me in the middle of the night."

Ron and Hermione looked up in surprise.

"Oh, there's another thing? Was it before I went?" If someone approached him within three meters, it was impossible for Orlando not to notice.

"Yes, who made you look like you don't want to talk." Thinking of this, Harry became angry.

Orlando touched his nose, but did not speak.

Harry told them exactly what Dobby had told him, or hadn't told him.

Ron and Hermione were dumbfounded when they heard it. Orlando, who was familiar with the plot, couldn't tell them directly that Dobby was a trap, so he had to pretend he didn't know and continue listening to them.

"Has the Chamber of Secrets been opened before?" When Harry said this, Hermione also hesitated.

"It's clear now," Ron said with a sigh of relief, "Lucius Malfoy must have opened the secret room when he was studying here, and now he's teaching dear Druid Laco did it, that's obvious. I wish Dobby had told you what monster was in there though. I don't understand how it's been sneaking around the school without anyone seeing it ?”

"It's a basilisk, didn't Orlando tell you?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"This is just my speculation, Harry. Although it is close to the truth, there is no conclusive evidence after all."

"Basilisk, my God? A basilisk that has lived for more than 1000 years, Orlando, are you sure you are not joking." Ron exclaimed.

"Keep your voice down, Ron, if you do this again, I'll cast a silence spell on you." Orlando frowned and scolded in a low voice.

"Sorry." Ron looked around to make sure no one had heard them talking.

"This kind of thing is just my speculation. Although Dumbledore seems to believe it, it has not been confirmed after all. Telling it now will not only cause panic among the students, but also have a negative impact on the school. This is Dumbledore's unwillingness. He saw it, and it was precisely because of this that he didn't admit it on the spot." Regarding the seriousness of the matter, Orlando had to say a few more words, otherwise Ron's big mouth would soon make it known to everyone.

"This is incredible." Hermione stared at Orlando with wide eyes.

"Okay, it's good for you to know. Be careful these days and try not to act alone. This kind of thousand-year-old monster is not only rough-skinned and thick-skinned, but also has strong magic power. You can't deal with it."

After listening to Orlando's analysis and realizing the seriousness of the situation, Ron said with some fear, "Dumbledore will catch it, right? He's so powerful, isn't he, Orlando?"

"If it was so easy to catch, I wouldn't keep it until now." Orlando put down the metal figurine in his hand, and it seemed that he would not want to be quiet today.

"The more this is the case, the more we must act quickly." Harry is brave and fearless. Could this be the protagonist's halo?
"How to do it? Fight the thousand-year-old basilisk? We don't even know where it's hiding?" Ron blushed, and his voice began to tremble.

"You're scared, Ron." Harry said angrily.

"I don't, I just... I just think Dumbledore should solve it. After all, this is a basilisk. A basilisk that has existed for more than 1000 years cannot be solved by our junior students." When Ron first started talking Still a little short of breath, he became more confident after speaking.

"I didn't ask you to fight the basilisk head-on. What we need to do now is to find the person who released it, and know the hiding place of the basilisk by the way, so that Dumbledore can destroy it." Harry said angrily.

Hermione, who had been silent all this time, didn't care about Orlando's emotions at this time, she said: "I think Harry is right, if Orlando's conjecture is right, then the basilisk has existed in Hogwarts for more than 1000 years , No one has known of its existence for such a long time, so the basilisk will be released only when a specific person appears, and as long as we find this person and get his words out, the truth will come to light.”

"Then what should we do." Ron lay down on the table in frustration, exhausted.

"Compound potion." Harry looked at Orlando, he said, "We need compound potion."

"Yes, I can cook it for you." Orlando agreed without hesitation, and he didn't want to get entangled in this issue.

"Let's take care of Goyle and Clark's hair." Harry said without hesitation, this time he was determined to make Malfoy known to the world.

"Since you have decided, then meet in the Room of Requirement in the afternoon, and I will prepare the necessary medicinal materials."

"I, can I be with you?" Hermione asked in a low voice, not wanting to be separated from Orlando.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, neither of them spoke, but they understood each other.

"Okay, then let's split up."

It is said to prepare materials, but in fact Orlando wrote a list and handed it to Capri, asking him to go back to the hidden hut.

Hermione is an easy-going child. When she got familiar with the brewing process of the compound soup, she decisively took over the refining work, which freed Orlando.

He began to concentrate on controlling the two metal villains to practice the power of the soul. In the room, the two were busy without disturbing each other and complemented each other.

When it was almost evening, Harry and Ron rushed over. They were dusty, like masons returning from their work.

"How did you make it like this?" After waking up from his practice, Orlando took out his wand and shook it lightly, and said softly, "Clean and new."

Harry and Ron's hair, face, clothes and trousers became clean.

"Thank you, Orlando," said Harry.

"We followed them for a day, looking for opportunities to attack, but we had no luck." Ron said dejectedly.

"Now everyone knows that Colin Creevey was attacked. Rumors are flying in the school, everyone is suspicious, and everyone is crowded together in small groups, and there is no chance to attack." Harry explained.

"It's not urgent. It takes a month to make the compound decoction. I'm already brewing the potion. You can fix the hair before the potion is ready." Orlando didn't criticize them harshly, he said calmly One sentence.

"We can do it, right! Ron." As if to cheer himself up, Harry said loudly.

"Yes, we can." Ron didn't want to lose face in front of Orlando, so he replied confidently.

"During this time, Hermione and I will take turns making the compound soup. If there is any problem, we will meet here." Orlando needs to practice the power of the soul recently, and the Room of Requirement seems to be a rare place to practice, and it can also take care of A date with Hermione.
