Chapter 292: Basilisk? Slytherin
(Except for Snape, the weird audience member who went crazy and forgot everything when he heard Lily's voice, the audience is now divided into three parts.)
(Like Ron, a large portion of the audience didn't care why Harry guessed it was the uterus.)
("Ah, this. Can you touch it?" Ron blushed. He said to Hermione, "I finally understand how amazing the Pensieve is.")
(“Mom, I want a Pensieve, too!”)
(You can experience everything in your memory in person and even move your hands and feet. No wonder every wizard attaches so much importance to his or her own Pensieve and even takes it with him or her to be buried.)
(Another group of viewers were puzzled by Harry and Lily's guesses.)
(Only a small number of viewers, such as Dumbledore, who are observant, discover the secret.)
(They had noticed that Phineas Black had not said a word since then.)
(That one sentence is particularly crucial.)
(The only parts mentioned in the speech are the head and the uterus.)
(The uterus is the organ in the female body that gives birth to life.)
And on the screen, Harry's hand had already reached into Finia Black's lower abdomen, but the posture looked very obscene.

If he cooperates, his smile after touching the thing will be unbearable to watch.

(Even Hermione took a while to realize, “Harry touched the Sorting Hat!”)
With a crisp pop of the cork being pulled out of the wine bottle, the Sorting Hat appeared in Harry's hand.

"Strange hands," the hat twisted and opened its mouth, "Unprecedented holy magic, are you really a wizard? Or has the wizard's bloodline evolved to this level after a thousand years?"

(Dumbledore's eyes flashed with surprise, "Why does the Sorting Hat in this world speak so arrogantly? Could it be that it has been locked up for too long?")
"You can't sense the outside world?" Harry asked.

At the same time he was trying his best to distract himself from the soft touch of the Sorting Hat's fingers after it left Phineas Black's body.

"Of course, if I can sense the outside world, then the outside world can also sense my existence. Only by sealing me tightly and freezing my thoughts can I not be discovered, and the [Zi Mu River] technique can continue to work and cannot be destroyed."

"You don't doubt that I just want to destroy you--" Harry was halfway through his words when he realized that he had asked a stupid question. The Sorting Hat laughed, "I am the magic hat with the wisdom of the Big Four. I can tell what's in people's minds without using magic."

"Harry, let's stop talking for now. The most urgent thing is to hide the Sorting Hat in a safe place." Lily's voice rang out in the room.

"Yes, Mom." Just as Harry wanted to leave, he felt his body slowly rising into the air. The headmaster's office and the figure of Phineas Black turned into darkness.

Then he felt as if he had turned over in slow motion and his feet suddenly landed on the ground.

His body was still invisible, black shadows and the glow of moonlight shining on the silver objects intertwined around him. The phoenix Fawkes was still taking a nap, and except for the Sorting Hat that appeared in his hand and became invisible along with his body and remained silent, nothing seemed to have changed.

"Harry, then I'll start making noise." Lily's voice sounded again.

According to the original plan, Lily would temporarily leave Harry's body and force her way out of the office through the window.

At that point, Harry would only have to hide under the spiral staircase and get out when someone entered.

But at this moment, facing Lily's reminder, Harry frowned and then shook his head.

However, he was not dissatisfied with Lily.

Instead, he noticed changes in his body.

The conversation with the Sorting Hat just now, in which the "holy magic" reminded him of his own [Path] - [Holy Spirit].

Like Krum's path, the [Holy Spirit] also belongs to the [Ghost] among the Dark Saint Clan of the Black Magic Fairy.

Logically, he should also be able to travel between matter like Krum.

In fact it is.

However, before this, in the practice of the [Path], Harry did not have the advantage of an indestructible body like Krum, which resulted in him still being in the most basic stage of pure flesh.

However, even Harry himself could not have imagined that this meeting with Draco and Ron before their separation would allow him to unknowingly forge a [Body of Gloriousness] and enter the stage of [Great Soul].

That's not right either. His path was modified by Professor Riddle, and the seven virtues were replaced with love, which was more suitable for him.

It should be called [Body of True Love] [Soul of Pure Love].

Now he finally understood the warning given to him by Professor Riddle of the Magic Fairy World, 'Daniel, all you need to do is have a relationship and understand the true meaning of love. The [Holy Spirit] is a very special [path].'

It turns out it’s so special.

Thinking of this, the magic power of the Holy Ghost enveloped the Sorting Hat, and Harry turned it into a shadow, which sank directly into the ground and passed through the pipes in the wall.

The intricate magical traps and the magical barriers covering the entire tower were ignored by Harry now and he passed through them easily.

(“Impossible!” Klum’s investors shuddered.)
(Those who had read the information about Harry's [Path] in Krum's Magic Book and personally trained him to this level knew best how exaggerated Harry's progress was.)
(Krum relied on the extra body that was on the verge of collapse and reappeared countless times in experiments, but what did Harry do?)
(Even Krum could only pass through objects, unlike Harry who could now even pass through magical creations.)
Lily was also surprised, but as she and Harry were one mind, she soon noticed the changes in Harry.

Every inch of flesh and blood, even the hair, is saturated with the magical energy of love, and the impurities in the body are washed away and become extremely clear.
However, the most exaggerated thing was the change in Harry's soul. The pure soul that was praised by the great fairy Riddle in the fairy world began to crystallize, just like cotton turning into steel.

"What's wrong with you?" Lily couldn't help but ask.

"Because of love. This is Ron and Draco's response to my love." Harry replied in his heart.

Lily: “.”

(The audience cannot hear Harry and Lily's explosive conversation.)
(They could only see Harry's body moving down the pipe. He had obviously left the 8th floor, but had not yet left the wall pipe, meaning he had appeared in the space inside the castle.)
("Is Harry planning to hide the Sorting Hat in the castle wall structure or pipes?" Ron speculated.)
(Smart people like Hermione have already begun to calculate Harry's current location based on the structure of the castle, Harry's descent speed and time.)
(Hermione quickly came to the conclusion, "Looking at the direction, it seems to be the boys' bathroom on the third floor. Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?")
("Is Harry crazy?" Ron frowned. "Riddle probably knows this, too.")
("Is he planning to play the trick that the most dangerous place is the safest place?" Ginny was also a little pessimistic about Harry's choice.)
("What do you think, Dumbledore?" Professor McGonagall asked at the guest of honor table.)
(Dumbledore shook his head. "We can't really sense that world through the picture. So the conclusion we draw may be biased. I always feel that the place Harry chose has a deep meaning.")
("The [Mother and Child River] changes the nature of the water within the Hogwarts area with the Sorting Hat as its core. And Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, according to the basilisk, is the center and key point of the Hogwarts water vein. It suppresses the water here to purify the water quality and ensure its stability.")
("Perhaps Harry has his own considerations.")
While the audience behind the scenes was talking, Harry had arrived at the Chamber of Secrets, wearing the Sorting Hat.

He lost his invisibility and returned to human form.

"Godric Gryffindor."

Harry's voice echoed in the empty cave. Even after a thousand years, the Slytherin statue once again responded to the name of the one he loved.

With the sound of falling into the water, the basilisk bowed its head again on the stone corridor.

"It's you, Harry Potter." It recognized Harry's voice. "Why did you come to disturb my sleep? You no longer have the chance to ask me questions."

"Because of it." Harry lowered his head and raised the Sorting Hat in his hand, "I need to find a suitable hiding place for it. A place where Tom Liddell won't find it."

("That's a good choice indeed, if the basilisk agrees," said Hermione.)
(Just as the date of the founding of Hogwarts is unknown and unclear, the origin of Hogwarts Castle is also a matter of debate.)
(Two of these are the most plausible.)
(One is that the name and address of Hogwarts came from a dream Rowena Ravenclaw had.)
(In her dream, she followed a warty hog to a cliff next to a large lake. So she chose this place as the location for the school and named the school Hogwarts, which is the reverse of the warty hog.)
(Another theory is that Hogwarts Castle belonged to Slytherin himself, who donated it for the purpose of running the school.)
(If it's the latter, then as Slytherin's pet basilisk, it would definitely know a lot of hidden locations.)
"Why do you think I will agree to you?" The basilisk spat out its snake tongue. "As a creation of Slytherin, you should understand my position on this tainted Gryffindor hat."

"Why should I go against the will of Slytherin and help you instead of helping the blood of Slytherin?"

"For the future of wizards." Harry said calmly, "The optimization of wizard bloodline caused by the Salem incident is not all good. Perhaps because the creator is a witch, the proportion of male wizards among newborn wizards is decreasing year by year."

"The existence of [Zi Mu River] is necessary. And it is a miracle that cannot be replicated."

("How did Harry know that?" Seamus wondered.)
("If it can be copied, this task has no value. According to Professor Trelawney's prophecy, wizards will not decline." Neville said after thinking for a while.)
"It is indeed a miracle." As the snake's head rose, the water dripping from its body fell on the stone corridor like raindrops. "Hogwarts chose this place because the Black Lake is a huge inland lake that contains many magical aquatic creatures and possesses unique magic powers."

"Combined with the closed terrain and the traces left by countless wizards over the past thousands of years, it has become a naturally formed magic prop."

"It is almost impossible to find another place full of water magic and with a thousand-year-old history to lay the foundation for the [Zi Mu River]."

"Harry Potter, you have convinced me."

("How did the basilisk agree to this?" Professor McGonagall couldn't understand. She didn't find Harry's words very convincing if she was a basilisk.)
(But she didn't think that Harry was just relying on luck. After all, Lily was behind him, and Lily was not the kind of person who acted recklessly based on her feelings.)
("Perhaps the basilisk is not just a basilisk." Dumbledore became more and more convinced of his guess - the basilisk is Slytherin herself, or her thoughts are controlling this body.)
(The Sorting Hat didn't speak in the Headmaster's office because it believed that Harry was protecting it, so it kept cooperating.)
(And it didn't speak in the secret room because there was no need to do so. It is more reasonable for it to be quiet when it sees the four giants in person, as it has the thoughts of the four giants.)

"follow me."

The basilisk returned to the hole in the statue's mouth, and Harry followed it into the world inside the statue.

Smelling the increasingly heavy water vapor and listening to the sound of the snake's belly rubbing against the silky ground, after turning several corners and going through a long period of darkness, dots of fluorescent green light appeared in the field of vision in front of me.

Then there was the sound of falling into the water.

With the light from overhead, Harry discovered that this was a more rugged and undecorated cave.

There was almost no place to stand inside, only dark lake water.

The fluorescent green light above the head comes from a kind of luminous moss-like plant growing on the rock wall.

At this time, the basilisk dived into the water, and only the undulating surface of the lake could show any trace of its presence.

(“The water level has dropped,” Ron exclaimed.)
Harry naturally also noticed the drop in the water level, and his eyes began to become serious.

Because exposed along with the giant green snake body were huge protruding runes that were as tall as him.

The runes looked very familiar to Harry. Like... like the Saxon runes engraved on the Pensieve.

It's just that their gestures are simpler and more crude.

Harry flew a few feet higher and looked down.

The entire cave is like a meditation bowl with a cover, wide, flat and hollow, made of natural rock.

"Oh, you recognized it?" The basilisk's voice began to change from neutral to soft, "These lakes are made up of my thoughts and memories. You just need to drop the Sorting Hat, and it will be stored in my memory."

"It's my pleasure." The Sorting Hat finally spoke.

"You are?" Harry suddenly remembered a guess his mother made which he thought was a joke.

"You may call me Sarah Slytherin now," she said.

"Now?" Harry was a little confused.

"When the memories I absorbed flow out again and become lake water that wraps me up like amber, I will no longer be Slytherin, but the basilisk - Haritan."

"Don't worry, eternal life always has a price."

"Harry Potter, drop the hat."
