Chapter 749: All 6 parts released at once
As Xia Yuan continued his frantic writing, the content of the second book, "The Secret Room," gradually came together.
This story follows directly from the first book, Philosopher's Stone, and tells the story of what happens in the second school year.
In this book, Harry, who has just finished his first year at Hogwarts, spends a grueling summer with his only family, the Dursleys—a very unpleasant summer vacation.
At a dinner party hosted by his aunt and uncle, a house-elf named Dobby comes to visit Harry.
Dobby warns Harry not to return to Hogwarts, the magic school he attended last year, or something terrible will happen because someone wants to kill Harry. As Harry's staunch supporter, Dobby does not want Harry to be killed.
But Harry was still young at that time, and he had never met Dobby before. His years of growing up made him not so easily convinced by what others said.
So he ignored the warning.
Dobby then wreaked havoc in the kitchen, which enraged the Dursleys.
They angrily locked Harry in his room, intending for him to spend the rest of the summer there. Fortunately, Harry's friend Ron Weasley secretly picked him up in a flying car, and Harry happily spent the rest of the summer at the Weasleys' house.
Harry encountered two unfortunate events while shopping for school supplies with the Weasleys.
First, he met one of his teachers, Lockhart, who asked to take a picture with Harry. Then Harry met Lucius Malfoy, the father of one of Harry's rivals, a very wicked man who almost got into a fight with Mr. Weasley.
When Harry was about to return to Hogwarts, he discovered that he and Ron could not cross the magically invisible train station platform, so they had to take Weasley's flying car back to the school.
They landed in a sorry state and were therefore put in detention. Lockhart thought Harry was trying to attract attention by driving a flying car, so he gave Harry a lecture.
Quidditch practice soon began, and Draco Malfoy became Slytherin's new Seeker.
On the field, he called Hermione a "Mudblood," insulting her Muggle origins.
After mocking Hermione, Malfoy was suspected of petrifying the janitor's cat on Halloween and writing threatening words. Harry had heard terrifying noises twice before the cat was attacked.
The first time was while they were in solitary confinement, and the second time was at a party just before the cat was attacked. Everyone at the school was terrified. Through some investigation, Harry, Ron, and Hermione learned that a Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts had been opened 50 years ago, and a student had been murdered.
Harry represented Gryffindor in a Quidditch match against Slytherin and won.
During the game, an enchanted ball struck Harry, causing him to lose his arm bone.
Harry later learned that Dobby the house-elf had cast a spell on the ball in an attempt to injure it and send it home.
That night, Harry saw a petrified first-year student being taken to the infirmary. Shortly afterward, Lockhart started a dueling club.
At the first gathering, Ha used Parsleyan to talk to a snake, which terrified his classmates.
Harry's ability frightened the other students, because people were even more suspicious of Harry when Slytherin Finley, who was in charge of opening the Chamber of Secrets, and Nick Fury, who was nearly headless, stumbled.
Ron, Harry, and Hermione are determined to catch the culprit. They concoct a potion called Polyjuice Potion, which allows them to impersonate Slytherin students and question Malfoy about the Chamber of Secrets.
They discovered that Malfoy was not Slytherin's heir. No further attacks occurred for some time afterward.
So, on the eve of Valentine's Day, Harry finds a diary next to a broken toilet. It belongs to a ghost living in the girls' lavatory, named Weeping Myrtle. Harry writes in the diary, and the diary replies to him. Through their conversation, Harry meets Tom Riddle, the boy who accused Hagrid of opening the Chamber of Secrets many years ago.
Hermione and a Ravenclaw girl were mysteriously petrified.
Harry and Ron risked running out of the castle to confront Hagrid. Before they could find Hagrid, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge and Lucius Malfoy expelled Dumbledore and Hagrid from Hogwarts.
Before being taken away, Hagrid instructed the boys to follow the spider to find the monster in the secret chamber.
A few days later, one night, Harry and Ron sneaked into the Forbidden Forest to track down the spider. They discovered that the monster that killed the girl 50 years ago was not a spider, and that the girl's body was found in a bathroom; Hagrid was innocent.
The boys were nearly killed by a swarm of giant spiders. After escaping, Harry and Ron confirmed that the weeping Myrtle was the girl killed by the monster.
A few days later, Ron and Harry found a piece of paper describing the Basilisk in Hermione's stiff hand, leading them to deduce that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets was a Basilisk.
Before the boys could act on the information they had, the teachers announced that Ginny Weasley had been captured and taken to the secret room.
Ron, Harry, and Lockhart slid down a secret passage in Myrtle's bathroom that led to an underground tunnel.
Lockhart accidentally cast a spell on himself, and Ron helped him. Harry told them to stay where they were. After entering the Chamber of Secrets, Harry encountered Ginny, who was motionless, and Tom Riddle.
Harry discovers that Tom is actually a younger version of Voldemort, who has used a diary to cast a spell on Ginny. Harry seeks help from Dumbledore, and a phoenix and a magical hat appear.
Tom summoned the basilisk, but a phoenix pecked out its eyes. The hat provided a sword, which Harry used to kill the giant basilisk. Harry then plunged one of the basilisk's fangs into the diary, thus eliminating Tom.
Then Ginny woke up.
Harry recounted the adventure to Dumbledore.
Lucius Malfoy barged into the office with his house-elf Dobby, and Harry tricked Lucius into giving Dobby a sock, thus freeing Dobby.
When the students left school to go home for summer vacation, everything in the castle was safe and sound.
Exactly one week has passed.
Of course, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was just the beginning.
For the next few months, Xia Yuan immersed himself in a secluded work environment.
He worked tirelessly every day, and the seven-part series is being perfected one by one.
Yes, he plans to release all six remaining parts at once.
It may take a little longer.
However, they will generally be released gradually within a year.
Xia Yuan didn't hide this news; instead, he released it directly through his personal social media account. (End of Chapter)
