Chapter 256 The Real Murderer Who Killed the Basilisk
"But why did Voldemort specifically enter the Chamber of Secrets and kill the basilisk inside!"
At this time, Snape opened his mouth full of doubts.
Dumbledore thought for a while and replied:
"I took a look in the afternoon. The basilisk was not killed by Voldemort. From the traces inside and the body of the basilisk, it can be seen that the basilisk was killed in advance a few months ago.
Voldemort possessed the Death Eaters, probably because he wanted to enter the secret room and release the basilisk as a helper in this attack. I'm afraid he didn't know that the basilisk had been killed! "
"Fortunately, the basilisk was killed in advance, otherwise there would be a basilisk, and this time it would be really dangerous!"
Professor McGonagall's face was full of joy.
For a powerful and weird magical animal like the basilisk, even powerful professors might be killed if they were not careful, not to mention the little wizards. Before they rushed back to rescue them, they would all end up with Myrtle.
"Then who the hell discovered the secret room a few months in advance and killed the basilisk inside?"
McGonagall was glad that the basilisk was killed, so that the little wizards were not killed like Myrtle, but Snape thought further, who could have discovered the secret room that had not been discovered for thousands of years in advance under the eyes of Dumbledore and the professors, and silently killed the terrifying basilisk in the secret room!
Dumbledore turned his head to the back of the crowd, looking at his nose, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart. Charlie, who seemed to have nothing to do with me, glanced at him, and then slowly replied:
"Whoever killed the basilisk in advance, he should have good intentions, and also destroyed Voldemort's plot, so we should all thank him!"
The professors nodded in agreement when they heard the words. After all, if the basilisk hadn't been killed, they might not all be able to stand here neatly now.
"Okay, let's strengthen the defense of Hogwarts to prevent the Death Eaters from attacking again. I will take care of other follow-up matters!"
"Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore!"
In the end, Dumbledore finally explained a few words and asked all the school professors to return to the dormitory to rest.
Except, of course, Charlie!
"Charlie, thank you so much this time!"
Dumbledore looked at Charlie meaningfully and thanked him.
"It should be, it should be, as a professor of the school, it is duty-bound to protect students!"
Charlie laughed back.
In fact, Dumbledore has already guessed that the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets is probably killed by Charlie in advance. The ruins left after the battle in the Chamber of Secrets and the scars on the body of the Basilisk are
It's not like a wizard's method, but more like the result of a fight between two huge magical animals.
And in the whole of Hogwarts, Dumbledore couldn't think of any other magical animals that could kill the basilisk by itself, except Charlie.
The fire dragon that Hagrid privately adopted in the Forbidden Forest is capable of fighting the basilisk, but the fire dragon cannot enter Hogwarts Castle, let alone the Chamber of Secrets.
The point is, last year when Alice and the others were fighting Quirrell, he had personally seen Alice cast the Enlargement Curse on Charlie. Now, with Charlie's level of Transfiguration, he cast the Enlargement Curse on himself, and his size may not necessarily lose to the Basilisk.
However, Dumbledore did not ask Charlie how he discovered the Chamber of Secrets, but said:
"This time, you helped Hogwarts so much and made Voldemort's plot fail. I owe you a favor. If you need help, you can tell me directly!"
"Don't tell me, professor, I really need your help with a small matter!"
Charlie rolled his eyes and said.
Dumbledore was taken aback for a moment, this little cat was really rude, but after a while he shook his head with a smile and said:
"Tell me, do you need me to help you with something?"
Charlie said:
"It's like this. Summer vacation is coming soon. I'm going to take the opportunity to go to Huaguo to see if I can find a tribe like me. It just so happens that Alice also wants to travel to Huaguo during the summer vacation, so I need your help to communicate!"
Ever since he learned about Zou Wu from Newt last time, Charlie has been planning to go to China during the summer vacation.
But he is a cat after all, and he can only last about 10 minutes if he turns into a human. Many things will become very inconvenient.
And according to Newt, the control over wizards in China is relatively strict, and the wizards and Muggle government there are integrated, so it must not be as easy to hide as the British side.
If they suddenly found a magical animal that had not been registered, it would be very troublesome if they would arrest it directly.
So he thought it would be better to let Alice and the people from the orphanage go on a trip to Huaguo together, and he followed Alice officially as Alice's pet phantom cat, and then secretly investigated.
Coincidentally, before Roman said that he would take Alice to travel abroad this summer vacation, but he couldn't choose a good place.
"This is not a big problem, I will communicate with Fudge and ask him to issue a certificate!"
Dumbledore nodded.
If you are traveling to another country, you just need to file a case with the Ministry of Magic of that country in advance. The country of Hua is quite special.
But now that it is gradually in line with international standards, he asked the Minister of Magic Fudge to issue a certificate, and he can still travel smoothly in the past.
"Okay, then thank you professor, if there is nothing wrong, I will withdraw!"
With Dumbledore's affirmation, Charlie greeted and prepared to leave the principal's office.
"Wait a minute, I have something to ask for your help!"
Just as Charlie was about to turn around, Dumbledore stopped him again.
"Well, professor, you said!"
"It's like this. Professor Snape used Veritaserum on those Death Eaters this afternoon. According to the confessions of those Death Eaters, we know that they came here to arrest Harry under the order of Voldemort.
So, I hope you can help me take care of his safety during this time at school! "
Dumbledore said with a serious face.
Charlie showed surprise on his face:
"Principal, aren't you here?"
Dumbledore shook his head:
"When I'm in school, of course it's fine, but sometimes I'm not always in school, like today!"
Dumbledore knew that if Voldemort wanted Harry, he would definitely find a way to transfer himself, and the professors in the school were all aware of it, only Charlie, who was unknown to Voldemort.
"Ok, no problem!"
Charlie nodded. For him, this is not a difficult task. His body is now almost beside Alice during the day.
And Alice, Hermione, Harry, and Ron were basically all together, so taking care of Harry would not waste his time.
After leaving the principal's office, Charlie felt that the time for his Patronus Charm was about to come, so he simply dismissed the Patronus and returned his mind to the cat body in the Gryffindor dormitory.
Coincidentally, he also wanted to discuss with Alice about traveling to China during the summer vacation.
