Hogwarts Crawler.

The poisonous snake that was hit by the red light and fell to the ground flapped its wings a few times and quickly got up again.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Lockhart exclaimed when he saw this, and Draco spoke silently at this time:

"It was just an ordinary snake. Professor, did you use Expelliarmus to take away its fangs?"

Facing Draco's somewhat contemptuous look, Lockhart was extremely angry, and then he said quickly:

"My wand seems to be still not recovered, so let's return the stage to Mr. Potter!"

After saying that, he hurriedly left the duel stage.

"Paji——"

As he was going down the stairs, Lockhart seemed to be tripped by something and fell headfirst to the ground.

Adam withdrew his hand and looked towards the duel stage with concern.

"So...Mr. Potter, what are you going to do?"

Professor Snape narrowed his eyes and looked at Harry who was once again being stared at by the snake.

Harry didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Professor Snape's mood seemed to have become much worse.

No one can save him now...

Harry watched the snake getting closer and closer to him, and suddenly he opened his mouth as if inspired:

"Hiss-"

The smile on Professor Snape's mouth disappeared all of a sudden, his eyes stared at Harry, and the next moment he pulled out his wand and turned the snake into smoke.

"I'm going to take Professor Lockhart to the Hospital Wing again. The Dueling Club ends here. You can go back."

Professor Snape waved his wand to make Lockhart float up, and said to the little wizards who were still in shock.

Lockhart, who had been groaning on the steps between the dueling stage and the auditorium floor, seemed to be trying to prove that he didn't need to go to the hospital wing when he heard this.

At this moment, Professor Snape's wand happened to move accidentally, and Lockhart rolled 1080 degrees in the air, and suddenly there was no sound.

After dealing with Lockhart, the students were still discussing Harry's actions and were unwilling to leave. Professor Snape narrowed his eyes:

"I said...you can go back now."

"..."

The young wizards immediately scattered and returned to their respective common rooms.

"Did you all see it?"

On the way back, Cologne exclaimed in a low voice:

"Harry was just talking to the snake!"

"What's wrong with talking to a snake? Adam talks to his cat every day."

Bernard pointed at Adam.

Adam: “Meow?”

"That's different!"

Cologne was about to say that Adam was just teasing the cats and the cats didn't understand, but then he thought that the two cats seemed to understand...

"The ability to talk to snakes is very special and rare in the wizarding world...it's an ability called Parseltongue."

Eugene took over and explained to Bernard,

"Not only can they talk to snakes, Parseltongue can even command snakes to a certain extent, but that's not the point... The point is that Slytherin is a Parseltongue, and Parseltongue is hereditary."

"So... the heir of Slytherin should also be a Parseltongue?"

"Yes."

Bernard looked suddenly enlightened, and then a hint of thought flashed across his eyes.

Could the Boy Who Lived, the legendary savior, be the heir who can open the Chamber of Secrets?

For Bernard, who has been secretly reading case files handled by his parents since he was a child, it is not impossible that a good person in the eyes of others may be very dirty behind the scenes.

"Hey, I'm a little hungry after being active for half a day. What should I have for supper?"

Hearing Adam's words, Bernard immediately threw all his thoughts out of his mind:

"Why not eat the tiger skin chicken feet I made last time!"

Not to mention Adam's dormitory, which started discussing midnight snacks halfway through the meeting, the news that Harry was a Parseltongue quickly spread throughout the campus, even overshadowing Lockhart's series of embarrassing events last night.

However, at noon the next day, things suddenly changed.

Adam was eating lunch in the auditorium, and Ernie came up behind him with a curious look on his face:

"Adam, who is the heir to the Chamber of Secrets?"

"Ok?"

Adam looked up in confusion:

"The heir to the Chamber of Secrets? How would I know?"

"Oh, don't pretend. Harry said that you have solved all the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets! You must know who the heir to the Chamber of Secrets is, right?"

Ernie lowered his voice and said:

"Tell me secretly, I will never tell anyone else!"

Harry? How did he know... Shit! Dobby!

Adam immediately understood the whole story. He glanced at the little wizards around him who were listening with their ears perked up, and his eyelids twitched.

I believe you!

"Why do you believe what Harry says?"

Adam tried to reason with the group.

"Well, I think he was quite sincere..."

Ernie scratched the back of his head:

"What he said was false?"

"..."

That’s not the case.

If Harry had shown Parseltongue on his own and was mistaken for the heir, it would have had nothing to do with Adam, but now that Adam says Harry is lying, it becomes Adam's slander.

In desperation, Adam spoke:

"Well, the heir to the Chamber of Secrets is..."

"Mr. Reed, I hope you wouldn't mind having lunch with me?"

Professor Dumbledore appeared from somewhere and said to Adam with a smile.

Chapter 71 Conversation in the Principal’s Office

"Of course, Professor Dumbledore."

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

"So...Adam really solved the monster in the secret room?"

Cologne's face showed three parts of confusion, three parts of doubt, and four parts of enjoyment.

Well, he still has corn flakes in his mouth.

"I'm afraid so. If Harry Potter was lying Adam would have told you just now."

Eugene recalled that Adam was always unable to 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 go on an adventure in the secret room!"

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 his eyes and looked around:

"Let's finish eating and go back to the dormitory to wait for Adam. It looks like they might be unable to contain their curiosity and come to ask us questions in a while."

……

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

Eh? Why don't you bring Professor Flitwick along?

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

"Adam! Is what Harry said true?"

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

“Sorry, Adam, I didn’t know…” will get you into 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, and only realized the impact of his words when he saw everyone going to Adam to verify it.

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 taken care of."

"Oh, yes, our Mr. Reid can even deal with the monster in the secret room, and he defeated a professor last night. What else in the world can scare him?"

Professor Snape's voice sounded, and Adam couldn't help but want to complain:

Professor, it was you who gave me the job of defeating the professor last night!

However, he also knew that this was Professor Snape's indirect concern, telling him not to be stubborn and take risks, so he swallowed the complaints that were about to come out of his throat.

"Severus, don't say that!"

Professor McGonagall, who had been standing next to Harry, now walked in front of Adam:

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

"It's a basilisk, Professor."

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

"... Basilisk?"

"It is also called the snake king. Its venom can kill a person instantly. Staring into the eyes of a snake monster can be fatal..."

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

Unlike little Potter, based on his understanding of Adam's character, even though this matter sounds as outrageous as Merlin's resurrection, Adam should not talk nonsense.

But if it was a basilisk, why did the cat just turn into stone...

"I see...Mrs. Loris saw the reflection of the basilisk on the knight's armor, so she was just petrified."

Professor Dumbledore, whose presence had decreased since entering the headmaster's office, suddenly realized this and at the same time resolved everyone's doubts.

Only Harry was still confused.

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

Professor Sprout was still a little confused.

"The basilisk has been dormant in the secret room. It really didn't appear in four hundred 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.
