Chapter 165 Bruce’s Discovery

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHagrid's "suspect" was eliminated. I thought everyone was happy, but who knew the truth was even worse?

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspLooking at Jack lying in front of the door, Harry hurriedly said: "Could it be that Jack made a mistake?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Wow"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspJack seemed to understand Harry's words, and was very dissatisfied with it, shouting several times fiercely

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione said immediately: "It's very simple, won't we know if we go in and take a look?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAs she said that, Hermione was about to push the door in, but found that the door was locked.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "There's no one in there," Hermione said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry said: "It's weird that there are people at this time. Everyone is having lunch in the restaurant."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Then we can only use unconventional means." Hermione took out her wand and said: "Use magic."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry said hurriedly: "Enter other people's rooms without permission, okay?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione looked at him speechlessly and said, "When did you become so honest? Please Harry, these are extraordinary times."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "I think Harry is right, we'd better not go in," Bruce said suddenly.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Ah" Hermione looked at Bruce in surprise and asked, "What do you mean you were the one who brought us here, and you were the one who didn't let us in?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Um" Bruce said speechlessly: "It is indeed me who suggested not to go in, but it was Jack who brought you here, not me."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Hehe" Hermione smiled mischievously and said: "Same"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled helplessly and said, "There's really no need to go in. I believe Ginny won't be in the room now."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione pouted and said: "Nonsense, I thought you could come up with some unique insights. Even Jack knows these."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"No, I don't mean that" Bruce explained: "Do you think if you do bad things alone, you will stay here and wait for others to catch you? "

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "It seems to make sense, then there is no point in us staying here," Hermione said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry immediately said: "I think we can wait for her to come back, right? Ginny will always return to the dormitory."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"No Harry, I think you still don't understand" Hermione explained: "Ginny already knows that Jack found her, she will also know about us She will find that the notebook is missing, which means she knows that she has been exposed. Just like what Bruce just described, after a person does something bad, he will stay there and wait for others to catch her."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry said: "Maybe she doesn't know Oh my God, that piece of cloth"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce nodded and said: "That's right. When she found out that the name on her robe was half bitten, she knew that nothing could be hidden."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione's breathing suddenly became very heavy and her expression was very nervous: "Bruce, Harry will say this"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBoth Bruce and Harry knew what Hermione was going to say.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, she will take action today and complete what Slytherin failed to complete back then," Bruce said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "You said that the successor of Slytherin cannot be a mixed-blood family, but can only be a pure-blood family. The Weasleys are purebloods.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe three of them were silent. They had suspected many people, but they never expected that it would be their best friend’s sister. That innocent and cute little girl would actually is the heir

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "But what about 50 years ago?" Harry broke the silence and asked: "How do you explain what happened 50 years ago?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione smiled bitterly: "This is easy to explain. Harry's heir is to inherit Slytherin's mission. If Ginny doesn't complete it after fifty years, she will still be there." There will be another heir.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry really couldn't find any excuse anymore. Finally, he sighed and asked, "Then what should we do to tell the professor?" They?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "Have you forgotten Quirrell's lesson last semester? Who will believe us? Take this rag and tell them: This is Ginny It was bitten off by Jack when she broke into our dormitory to steal something. She took away a notebook from fifty years ago. It took us back to fifty years ago. Do you think everyone will believe us?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione smiled bitterly: "You will believe that we are crazy."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "That's right, don't talk about other people. If we tell the truth, Ron and George will probably break up with us."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Then" Harry hesitated for a moment and said firmly: "We can only act like last semester, we act on our own."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce nodded and said: "At least this is the only feasible way at the moment."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Do we need to hide it from Ron?" Harry asked.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "There is no need for Ron to have the right to know, but we'd better not tell him these things before he sees Ginny in person."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Yeah, I agree."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Actually, I still have a question," Hermione said curiously: "How do you think Ginny managed to petrify two people? Is she magic?" genius"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce shook his head and said: "No, that's not it. I know the reason and go back to the lounge. I will tell Ron everything I know when he comes back. You guys, we will discuss countermeasures when the time comes.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione and Harry nodded, and the three of them returned to the lounge and sat on the sofa without saying a word. After a while, Ron took the food and became interested. Came in vigorously.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Hey guys, I brought you some steaks and baked pies"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAlthough the three of them had been "prepared" for a long time, the previous events had really shocked them, so Ron still discovered their emotions. Something's wrong

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "What's wrong? You seem to be sad?" Ron asked curiously.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry and Hermione smiled quickly and said: "No"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said with a sad face: "It's really sad. The three of us are almost starving to death waiting for your lunch."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Uh haha" Ron said with an embarrassed smile: "Today's chicken legs are so delicious, I couldn't help but eat a few more, but I gave If you bring some back, you’d better eat them hot.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce waved his hand and said: "Sit down and talk about business first, we will talk about it later."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon put the food on the table next to him, sat down and asked curiously: "What's the business? It's the secret you discovered in the district that night. That’s great, tell us quickly”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "Yes, I found it in the district. It is only a short page, but this page answered our previous question. Those doubts”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione urged: "Can you just omit the beginning and just talk about the key points?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce nodded and explained: "It's very simple. There is indeed a monster in the secret room. It was the one that petrified Colin and Justin and killed him fifty years ago. That girl's got it too. But it's not a spider, but a basilisk, a creature that spiders are afraid of."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"basilisk"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon immediately asked: "What does it have to do with poisonous snakes?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce explained: "You can understand it as a more vicious snake. Harry, do you still remember the strange sound you heard before? Why are you the only one who can heard but we couldn’t hear now you know”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry's eyes lit up and he said: "Because I can understand Parseltongue, I can only hear that voice."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"That's right" Bruce continued: "The basilisk's body is extremely large, even much larger than a python, and its body length can reach fifty It was bred by a Greek dark wizard who could speak Parseltongue. After many experiments, this man discovered that if a male egg was hatched under the body of a toad, a dangerous and dangerous egg with extraordinary abilities would be hatched. Big snake.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Wait a minute" Harry asked hurriedly: "Sorry, Bruce, interrupt me, as you said a fifty-foot snake is hidden in the school. How could we not see it?”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled and said: "Indeed, if other creatures are so huge, it is absolutely impossible to do this quietly, but snakes can."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Drain pipe" Hermione suddenly said: "It's a drain pipe, the basilisk is swimming in the drainage pipe. That's why every time Harry hears that sound It’s like it’s coming from the walls.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce nodded and said: "Smartness is the answer. The basilisk's food is very diverse. Mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects are all its prey. , among which spiders are his favorite. This is why every time we find a victim, there will be swarms of spiders crawling out on the ground."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione said: "But there's another thing I don't understand: the basilisk killed that poor girl fifty years ago, why it just petrified Ke this time?" Lin and Justin”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "You are so smart, Hermione, that's the point." Bruce said: "This is because of a terrible special ability of the basilisk, which is that its eyes can Anyone who looks at the basilisk will be killed."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry asked immediately: "But Colin and Justin are not dead, as well as Mrs. Norris and Sir Nicholas"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "That's because they didn't see the basilisk's eyes directly. Mrs. Norris saw the snake through the reflection in the water on the ground. Strange, Colin through the camera, and Sir Nicholas because he had already died once, so the basilisk could not kill him."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Where's Justin?" Ron asked hurriedly: "He didn't have a camera, and there was no water on the ground at the time."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce looked at Ron helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Please, don't be in a hurry, okay? I will tell you all, but don't always interrupt me. It's very simple. , Justin was the basilisk he saw standing behind Sir Nicholas. He saw it through the ghost, not directly. So the basilisk could not kill them but only petrified them."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh," Hermione said suddenly, "That's why you suddenly lay down on the ground that night."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspTo be continued.
