With this stubble, she was not even in the mood for a walk, so she simply went back to the lounge.

There is no class in the afternoon, so there are many second-grade students playing in the lounge.

Malfoy was there too.

After casually glanced at her, Kate coughed lightly, then turned and walked out of the lounge, walking towards the depths of the dungeon.

Not long after, a footstep followed.

This could almost be regarded as a tacit understanding between her and Malfoy, and the two of them came here to talk if they wanted to talk in private.

Kate leaned against the wall and waited for a while before seeing Malfoy approaching and standing directly beside her.

"What can you do with me?" The eldest lady raised her head proudly, "If you want to make peace, then I can't..."

"Do you know about the Chamber of Secrets?" Kate interrupted her directly.

Malfoy was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly became angry: "You came to me to ask this kind of thing?"

Kate didn't answer her directly, but said: "When I passed the bathroom today, I saw a ghost in it, she was called the Weeping Myrtle.

In the rumor, she was killed by the monster in the secret room, so I want to ask you if you know about the secret room. "

"Weeping Myrtle? You came here just because of her?" Malfoy was getting more and more angry.

It's not enough to have one, two or three girls by your side, and you still want to provoke a female ghost?

She sneered: "How do you know that I must know the secret of the secret room? Why should I tell you?"

With that said, she turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Kate immediately reached out to grab her, but as soon as her fingers touched Malfoy's skin, there was a piercing pain.

Malfoy was startled, subconsciously stepped back and wanted to break away from her, but Kate's wrist was still firmly grasped.

"Are you crazy!" She growled in a low voice, "Don't want your hand yet! Let me go!"

Kate's forehead was already covered with sweat quickly, but the strength on her hands increased a bit: "I won't let you go unless you tell me!"

When she heard Malfoy swearing a few more swear words, a wry smile appeared on her face, and her voice weakened: "You tell me first, okay?"

Malfoy tried his best to grind his back molars, and she didn't know what Kate ate to grow up, but she was so strong that she couldn't break it even with the strength of breastfeeding.

It wasn't until she could smell the burning smell coming from Kate's hand that she grabbed her arm through the wizard robe with one hand: "Okay, I say! Let go first!"

Kate smiled brightly with sweat all over her head, then let go of her hand obediently, and slipped powerlessly on the ground.

"You bastard..." Malfoy gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, half-kneeling in front of her, frowning tightly, "Show me your hand!"

"It can't be cured even if I show you." Kate stubbornly hid her hands under her robe. The pain was so painful that even her voice was much softer, but she still asked persistently, "You should talk first."

Malfoy stood up angrily, as if he was about to leave, but after taking a few steps, he rushed back: "My father only told me that the last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened was 50 years ago.

He also said that when the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a Muggle-born wizard died, so this time the rumors about the Chamber of Secrets revived, maybe another Muggle-born wizard died!

My dad reminds me that if rumors of the Chamber of Secrets come up in the school, tell me to stay put and let the Heir of Slytherin move on and clean up the…clearing of the Mudblood filth. "

Kate tilted her head weakly: "So, you or your father spread the rumor?"

"How would I know!" Malfoy clenched his fists in resentment, "My dad is very busy, there are many things he didn't tell me!"

This tone... it sounded like Malfoy had something to say about her father.

Kate squinted her eyes thoughtfully, leaned on the wall with one hand, and stood up with difficulty.

"Your hand...you should go to the school hospital to have a look." Malfoy wanted to step forward hesitantly, but he hurriedly backed away before touching her, and said awkwardly.

"Oh, actually my hand is fine."

She smiled and took out her right hand, there was no scar on it: "If I get injured one after another, Madam Pomfrey will also wonder if there is something wrong with my mind?"

Malfoy was taken aback, his eyes widened in disbelief: "How is it possible? I just smelled it..."

Soon, he realized: "You lied to me! You lied to me just because of a female ghost?"

"That's right," Kate admitted generously, "Because I suspected that your father was spreading rumors, I wanted to inquire about you. Now it seems that the results are not what I expected."

Every time she said a word, Malfoy's little face twisted a little, and when she finished speaking, Malfoy finally couldn't help it, and directly pulled out his wand and pointed it at her: "Stand up!"

In an instant, Kate's legs were forced to stick together. If she hadn't supported the wall in time, she might have fallen directly.

Malfoy snorted and left in a huff.

When she was far away, Kate shook her head helplessly, pulled out her wand and said, "The spell stops immediately."

She glanced at Malfoy's disappearing figure before raising her right hand with a frown.

In fact, she was indeed burned by the black magic on Malfoy just now, but after going to the school hospital so many times, she has already learned how to dispel the magic of this wound.

Even if the wound disappears, the piercing pain still exists.

However, there is no need to let Malfoy know about this.

Clenching her right hand tightly, she took a deep breath, leaned half against the wall, and exhaled slowly.

Now it seems that the rumors were indeed spread by Lucius, just as she thought, Lucius was in a hurry.

It's just that the basilisk is dead now, no matter how much Lucius spreads the rumors, no one in Hogwarts will be substantially harmed.

From this point of view, it seems that she doesn't need to care about this matter. No matter how many rumors there are, if there is no real incident, it will only become a campus legend at best.

But thinking about it carefully, if there is no response from the owner of the diary, Lucius should be even more frightened.

Fearing that once the diary is discovered, his spreading of Voldemort's old things will be exposed, and then his identity, which has been so hard to clean up, will be blackened again.

In extreme fear, people often do things that even he himself did not expect, especially when Lucius is one of the school managers of Hogwarts.

God knows what he'll do with his little bit of power.

Now is not a good time to deal with Lucius, so we can only stabilize him for the time being.

So it's still necessary to do a little trick to respond to Lucius with a sneaky poke, let him know that the diary is still safe in someone's hands.

As for this secret room...

The basilisk will definitely not come out, but the Chamber of Secrets still exists, and after all, it was left by Slytherin, so it cannot be destroyed at will.

In this case, we can think of a way to let Lucius know that there are no more basilisks in the Chamber of Secrets, so that he can give up disturbing Hogwarts.

Kate coughed a few times, propped herself against the wall and walked back slowly for a certain distance, looked at her trembling right hand with some pain, and clenched it tightly.

Chapter 52 Harry is in a panic

Ever since Valentine's Day, Harry has been feeling out of luck.

First he was baffled by Lockhart's dwarf, laughed at by the others, and then had nightmares for days.

It's not so appropriate to say it was a nightmare. What he saw in his dream was an unrealistically long black shadow, like a snake.

The snake was always crawling along the pipe, appearing suddenly when someone was caught off guard, and killed the other person directly.

He was so scared that he didn't dare to get up at night to go to the bathroom these few nights. He was dizzy every day before he could fall asleep, and the next day he went to class with dark circles on his face.

If it weren't for Hermione Kate helping him with tutoring, I'm afraid he would have to fail the final exam.

"Have you heard? The rumors about the Chamber of Secrets have been updated again. It is said that the Chamber of Secrets was built by Slytherin himself, and there is a monster inside. Only the heirs of Slytherin can open the Chamber of Secrets and control monsters!"

Ron was gossiping while eating, "It is said that someone died at the hands of that monster 50 years ago."

Chamber of Secrets, monster.

Harry, who was drinking pumpkin juice, frowned suddenly. He had an intuition that his recent dream must be related to this rumor.

"Hermione, let's go to the library together." Kate, as always, came to the Gryffindor long table to find someone, looked at Harry and asked, "Do you need my help today?"

While Harry was hesitating, Ron suddenly coughed heavily.

This was what they had discussed in private long ago, try not to bother Kate as much as possible, and create opportunities for them to be alone. This is what a qualified friend should do.

But during this period of time, Harry was really not in good spirits, and it was impossible not to disturb Kate.

Moreover, he still has important matters to ask her today.

"Kate," he stood up suddenly, glanced at Hermione hesitantly, and whispered, "I have something to talk to you, just the two of us, okay?"

Tilting her head in surprise, Kate looked at Hermione: "Then you..."

"I'll take a seat in the library first," Hermione stood up understandingly, "Ron, let's go."

Ron, who was forced to leave, stared at Harry with question marks for a long time before reluctantly leaving.

Kate shrugged and said to Harry, "Then let's talk as we walk."

The two left the auditorium one after another. Kate walked not too fast, and looked at the scenery outside the castle while walking.

Harry followed her, looking visibly uncomfortable.

She didn't stop until she came to an empty corridor, turned her head and put her hands on her hips impatiently: "If you have any questions, just ask."

Hermione was still waiting for her in the library.

"Oh..." Harry was taken aback, and hurriedly took two steps forward, his green eyes showed some anxiety, "Kate, since you are a student of Slytherin, you should know what's in the Chamber of Secrets, right?"

God knows how much he struggled to find the courage to ask Kate.

Dreaming about monsters killing people, even in the magic world, is a kind of metaphysics, not to mention that he hasn't started divination yet.

But that dream was so real, so real that he thought he had returned to 50 years ago and witnessed the real scene of a monster killing someone in the secret room.

He needs someone to tell him what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is.

"The Chamber of Secrets?" Kate frowned. "Why are you so interested in this legend? Or do you think you are a descendant of Slytherin?"

Harry was dumbfounded for a moment, but quickly began to explain in a hurry: "No! I didn't ask because of this rumor, but because... because..."

Perhaps it was his anxious look that made Kate slightly moved, she coughed lightly and said: "Although our Safik family has not been married to the descendants of Slytherin, our ancestors did have friendship with them.

According to the records of some clansmen, Slytherin did create a secret room inside Hogwarts, which can only be opened by him and his descendants in a certain way.

But whether there are monsters in the secret room... This is just some rumors I heard, so I can't take it seriously. "

"Even rumors are fine!" As soon as Harry's eyes lit up, he knew that Kate, who had a strong family background, must know something inside.

"Kate, no... I really need to know what monster is hidden in the secret room, please tell me!"

He stepped forward excitedly, almost in front of her.

Kate subconsciously took a step back, frowning and wondering: "Why do you want to know these things?"

"Tell me first!"

"Okay..." Seeing his appearance, Kate finally compromised, and whispered, "I heard before that there is a basilisk hidden in the Slytherin chamber of secrets, if it is true, I am afraid that The basilisk must have been thousands of years old."

Basilisk?

And that unreal long shadow in his dream?

Harry's breathing began to become heavy, and he looked at the wall around him in disbelief.

If his dream is correct, then the basilisk is real, and it will travel through the pipes in the wall to kill people!

"It's strange to say," Kate rubbed her chin. "This legend has not been mentioned for many years. For some reason, it suddenly became popular again this year. Who do you think mentioned it?"

Who else could it be?

Definitely a descendant of Slytherin!

That person wants to open the secret chamber again and release the basilisk!

Originally, Harry would not be so sure just by the coincidence of a dream and a rumor.

But the nightmare for half a month had already made him start to show signs of nervous breakdown. Even if he caught an ambiguous clue, he had no choice but to continue thinking in this way.

"Kate," he gripped Kate's arm a little excitedly, "someone must be manipulating this, we have to follow these clues and continue to investigate!"

"What? Why do you think so?" Kate looked at him with a question mark on her face, and then moved his hand away from her arm a little bit, "Harry, did you not have a good rest recently, so..."

Harry was helpless: "No, you believe me, because I have been dreaming about the scene 50 years ago recently. I dreamed that the basilisk killed a wizard. This must be a warning!"

"But why did you only dream about it, and the others didn't?" Kate asked suspiciously, "Could it be because of your scar?"

Harry was speechless for a moment, he subconsciously touched the scar on his forehead, it was as peaceful as ever, nothing happened.

"So, maybe it's just that you're too nervous." Kate comforted her with a smile, and then remembered something, "By the way, it is said that Myrtle was the victim 50 years ago. If you are still worried, you can go to Ask her."
