Hogwarts Crawler

"Of course, Professor Dumbledore."

Adam was taken away by Professor Dumbledore, and the interested little wizards around him dispersed in disappointment.

"So... Adam really solved the monster in the Chamber of Secrets?"

Cologne's face was three parts confused, three parts puzzled, and four parts enjoyment.

Well, he was still eating corn flakes in his mouth.

"I'm afraid so. If Harry Potter was lying, Adam would have said it just now."

Eugene recalled that Adam always couldn't find anyone intermittently before, and said:

"And if it wasn't true, Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have come just now."

"Adam actually left us to adventure in the Chamber of Secrets!"

Bernard looked regretful.

"I'm afraid that's not an adventure story worth sharing..."

Recalling the records about the secret rooms in the pyramid, Uther squinted and said, then looked around:

"Let's go back to the dormitory after breakfast and wait for Adam. It seems that they may not be able to restrain their curiosity and come to ask us in a while."

...

Adam followed Professor Dumbledore to the principal's office. Professors McGonagall, Snape and Sprout were all there.

Eh? Why didn't you bring Professor Flitwick to play with you?

Then Adam saw Harry, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.

"Adam! Is what Harry said true?"

Professor Sprout saw Adam coming, hurriedly walked to Adam, took his hand, and looked Adam up and down carefully.

"Sorry, Adam, I didn't know..." It would bring you so much trouble.

Harry's voice was not loud to begin with, and it got lower and lower as he spoke.

He said it in a hurry to prove his innocence. When he saw everyone going to Adam for verification, he realized the impact of what he said.

Adam didn't hear what Harry said. He first wanted to comfort the anxious dean in front of him:

"Uh, Professor Sprout, it's true, but that's all been solved."

"Oh, yes, our Mr. Reed can even solve the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, and he defeated a professor last night. What else in the world can make him feel afraid?"

Professor Snape's voice sounded, making Adam want to complain:

It was you who took the job of defeating the professor last night, Professor!

But he also knew that this was Professor Snape's indirect concern, asking him not to be stubborn and take risks, so he swallowed the complaint that was about to come to his throat.

"Severus, don't say that!"

Professor McGonagall was standing next to Harry, and now she walked to Adam:

"Adam, I don't mean to question whether you are lying, but... what was the monster you solved? I mean, maybe it was some other magical animal, but you just mistook it for..."

"It was a basilisk, professor."

Adam's answer made Professor McGonagall's next words stuck in her throat:

"... Basilisk?"

"Also called the snake king, its venom can kill a person instantly, and looking into the eyes of a basilisk can kill directly..."

Professor Snape narrowed his eyes and gave Professor McGonagall a hint, who had not remembered the basilisk for a while.

Unlike little Potter, with his understanding of Adam's character, although this matter sounded as outrageous as Merlin's resurrection, Adam should not talk nonsense casually.

But if it was a basilisk, why did the cat just petrify before...

"So that's it... Mrs. Norris saw the reflection of the basilisk on the knight's armor, so she just petrified."

Professor Dumbledore, whose presence had decreased after entering the principal's office, suddenly realized and solved everyone's doubts.

Only Harry was still confused.

"But...there hasn't been a basilisk in Britain for more than 400 years..."

Professor Sprout was still a little confused.

"The basilisk has been dormant in the Chamber of Secrets. It really didn't appear in 400 years. It has lived for a thousand years."

Adam explained.

"But...how did you do it? And how did you know it was a basilisk?"

Professor McGonagall finally found her voice,

"And why didn't you tell us, but went to deal with such a terrible thing alone?"

"Professor McGonagall, please let me answer your questions one by one."

Adam stretched out his hand and summoned the Wand of Darkness in the surprised eyes of everyone in the principal's office:

"First of all, how did I do it... It was with this, the magic prop passed down by my ancestors."

Professor Dumbledore's eyes flashed with doubt. How could he not know that Nicolas Flamel had such a magic prop?

However, with Adam's explanation, the doubt in Professor Dumbledore's eyes disappeared. It turned out that the ancestors in China...

Although the existence of the Clow Cards was not concealed, it was also notAfter giving a detailed explanation of the Clow Cards and using the magic props inherited from his ancestors as a shield for combat power, Adam continued:

"As for how it was discovered...do you professors know Moaning Myrtle?"

Professor Dumbledore's eyes flashed.

Moaning Myrtle...was once his student.

Adam explained that he combined the fact that he heard from his classmates that the Chamber of Secrets had been opened, the story of Moaning Myrtle, and the discovery of the spider's corpse in the castle to form a guess - the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk.

"...How did you guess that?"

Harry murmured with his eyes wide open.

The professors knew the characteristics of the basilisk, but Harry didn't, so Harry couldn't understand how these conditions led to this result.

Ignoring Harry's questions, Adam continued:

"Finally, why didn't I tell the professors...As I said just now, I was just guessing, and I was confident that I could handle it even if I faced a basilisk, so I went by myself."

After listening to all the explanations, the professors fell silent.

Although the story line Adam told was a bit outrageous, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

"So, let's not talk about how you finally defeated the basilisk heroically - who opened the chamber of secrets?"

Professor Snape crossed his arms and squinted his eyes:

"That person must be very familiar with the situation in the chamber of secrets. He must have known that there was a basilisk in the chamber of secrets and knew how to deal with it..."

Professor Sprout seemed to understand something, and immediately glared at Professor Snape, reaching out and hugging Adam into his arms:

"Severus, what do you mean?"

Knowing that Professor Snape was not sincere, even if he believed that he would habitually say something to himself because of worry and fear, Adam sighed secretly, and then taught Sprout. Professor Dumbledore winked at Professor Dumbledore in the professor's arm, and Professor Dumbledore immediately understood and said:

"Severus, stop your speculation. We should be vigilant, but we can't suspect a student without reason."

As he said that, Professor Dumbledore stood up:

"Okay, now most of the things seem to be clear. Let Adam and I talk about the remaining details while eating lunch... Everyone, please go back. You may have classes to prepare in the afternoon?"

Although the professors were not very happy, since Professor Dumbledore said so, they left the principal's office one by one, and Professor McGonagall took Harry with her.

"Okay, now there are only two of us here."

Professor Dumbledore winked at Adam:

"What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"Why don't you let me do it."

Adam waved the Dark Staff directly, and a plate of hot brownie-flavored pizza appeared on the table. Then he looked at Professor Dumbledore, whose eyes lit up, and said:

"Professor, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
