Hogwarts passer-by professor

Chapter 116 The Entrance to the Chamber of Secrets
Changing his gaze, Eisen pretended to check carefully, checking the water pipes below, and then pointed to the side of the faucet with the little snake engraved on it.

"Look here!" Eisen gestured to Hermione.

After hearing this, Hermione immediately came forward and saw where Eisen's finger was pointing.

"That's—" Hermione said with surprise in her voice.

"The entrance sign to the Chamber of Secrets?" Harry, who also saw the snake next to him, had a look of surprise on his face.

Ron stepped forward and twisted it, but found that there was no water coming out of the faucet.

"There is never any water from this faucet." Moaning Myrtle flashed past everyone and said excitedly when she saw Ron's actions.

"Obviously, this is most likely the entrance to the secret room!" Eisen nodded, then looked at Harry.

"Harry, say a few words." Ron's eyes lit up when he saw Eisen looking at Harry, and then he raised his voice, "I mean, you have to say a few words in Parseltongue!"

"This-" Harry was a little at a loss. In the past, he would only speak Parseltongue involuntarily when he was directly facing a snake.Can you speak Parseltongue directly now?
"Turn on—" Harry said, staring at the little snake pattern on the side of the faucet.

Then, Harry looked at Ron.

"No, you are still speaking in human language," Ron shook his head.

"Professor Eisen, what should we do now?" Hermione on the side asked Eisen for help.

Aisen looked at the trio and saw that they were all looking at him eagerly, and he had an idea in his mind.Immediately, a poker appeared in his hand. When he threw it out, it transformed into a snake and wrapped around the faucet.

"Try again!" Eisen gestured to Harry.

"Open." Harry stared at the wriggling snake and made a sound.

However, to the ears of Eisen and others, what they heard were not human words, but a strange hissing sound coming from his mouth.As Harry's voice fell, the faucet emitted a dazzling white light, and then began to spin rapidly.Then, the pool started to move.

The pool slowly disappeared from sight, revealing a very thick water pipe, which could allow a person to get in.If you look inside, you will find that this passage is bottomless.

"hiss--"

Hermione and Ron gasped almost simultaneously.

"Professor? Are we going down?" Ron glanced deep into the water pipe, and then looked at Eisen in shock.

"Where's the basilisk down there? You want to go down there!" Aisen's mouth showed a hint of ill-intention.

"No, of course not—I mean, we need to inform Professor Lockhart, who is the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he will definitely deal with the Basilisk!" Ron waved his hands hastily, and then looked serious Pushed Lockhart out.

"You're right, Ron, you and Harry are going to inform Professor Lockhart to come and deal with the basilisk!" Eisen revealed an inexplicable look in his eyes, and then arranged for Ron and Harry.

Hearing what Eisen said, Ron breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at each other, the two quickly left the abandoned bathroom.

"Professor, shall we wait here?" Hermione glanced at the bottomless pipe, with an eager expression on her face.

"Ahem - you go find Professor McGonagall and inform her of what's going on here. I think it's necessary to tell her what's going on here!" Upon seeing this, Eisen directly assigned Hermione a task.

After the three people left, Aisen looked at the water pipe in front of him quietly, and it was pitch black as if leading to hell.However, when it comes to Hogwarts' pipelines, Eisen feels something is very strange.That's why so many pipes were built when Hogwarts was founded?
It certainly doesn't make sense to say that it was left behind by draining sewage into the entire castle.Because whether it is a cleaning spell or a disappearing spell, it can directly deal with garbage.As for the space reserved specifically for the basilisk, Eisen felt it was too outrageous.

But Hogwarts has left so many intricate pipelines, giving people the impression that it is not a magic castle, but an ordinary castle.

Eisen usually didn't think about this, but the more he thought about it, the stranger he felt.

Footsteps sounded outside, interrupting Aisen's thoughts.

"Professor Eisen——" After Professor McGonagall entered the bathroom, he immediately saw the unfathomable water pipe, and also saw Eisen standing aside.

"Professor McGonagall!" Eisen nodded and saw that in addition to Professor McGonagall, Snape, the Potions Professor, also came with him.

"This is-" Looking at everything in front of him, Professor McGonagall's expression became solemn.

"Hermione, Harry, and Ron deduced from the locations of the previous three attacks that the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was in this bathroom. I followed them here, and then I discovered Harry's Parseltongue. A passage has indeed been opened. I think this is likely to be the entrance to the secret room. So I asked Hermione to inform you!" Eisen did not hesitate. After looking at Hermione next to him, he briefly explained the matter.

"Professor Eisen, why did Potter and the others investigate the entrance of the secret chamber privately? You know, the basilisk is a very dangerous animal!" Snape said expressionlessly.

"Gryffindor students always like to take risks, don't they? Moreover, since Harry was revealed to be a Parseltongue, everyone regarded him as the heir to the Chamber of Secrets. Although Hagrid was captured, Harry did not think so. Hagrid is the murderer, so of course he has to find out where the entrance to the secret room is!" Eisen hesitated and made a lame excuse.

"What about after finding out the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets? He can also deal with the basilisk?" Snape had a sneer on his face.

"Come on, this way—"

"Okay, okay, I see!"

Harry's voice and Lockhart's voice came, and footsteps sounded outside at the same time.

"Of course I know that second-year wizards can't deal with the basilisk. No--the person who can deal with the basilisk is here. Lockhart is about to show his glorious moment!" Eisen smiled at Snape and pointed. The bathroom door.

Following Eisen's movements, Lockhart, wearing a water-green wizard robe, came in, followed by Harry and Ron.It's just that Lockhart seemed to be threatened by the two of them. After entering the bathroom and seeing Eisen and others, his face was slightly embarrassed.

As for Harry and Ron, they hurriedly withdrew their wands pointed at Lockhart.

"Ha - let me just say, the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets must be here, and I can easily deal with the basilisk inside!" Lockhart smiled when he saw that Harry and Ron had retracted their wands, and said to everyone, On the other hand, he came to the edge of the water pipe and looked inside.

"Yes, Professor Eisen is right. Professor Lockhart said that it was a pity that he could not fight the basilisk before Hagrid was captured. He also said that things were messed up and he should have let go from the beginning. You handle it. Now, it's time to show your ability!" Snape had a straight face, followed Eisen's words, changed the subject, and began to squeeze Lockhart.

Lockhart said that?After hearing Snape's words, Eisen frowned slightly.

"Haha - yes, of course I can get rid of the basilisk inside!" Lockhart walked past Eisen and went straight to Snape, "Then, let's go down together!"

"Then, Gilderoy, we'll let you handle it." Professor McGonagall said, with a very serious look on his face, "Now is your perfect opportunity to show off your skills. We promise not to let anyone hinder you. You You can deal with that basilisk alone. Now I finally let you do it."

"Ahem—" Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Lockhart coughed violently.

"Don't you guys go down? I mean, of course I can deal with the basilisk, but I need to give Harry and the others a lesson to let them know how I will deal with the basilisk, so they must follow me. Come down together!" After a while, Lockhart seemed to have found an excuse and asked Professor McGonagall while pointing at Harry.
