Chapter 259 Ginny: These Books Can Crush Me To Death! You Actually Said You Watched It For Fun?
"That's a good idea..." Dumbledore nodded.
Parseltongue is actually the language of snakes.
The snake language spoken by wizards is called Parseltongue.
The current Nagini's body is a big snake.
Of course he can speak the language of snakes.
In fact, Blake just needs to use Druid magic to turn into a snake.
You can also speak the language of snakes.
However, he didn't want to show his ability in front of Dumbledore and the others.
Because this ability is different from the ability to tame animals.
To tame animals, Newt or Hagrid can do it.
And turned into various animals.
Then not everyone can do it.
and.......
The Druid's transformation cannot be explained by transformation.
So, now that Nagini can help.
Blake simply gave up on this idea.
Save yourself the trouble of explaining it.
"Minerva, please send Miss Weasley back to rest first.
"Blake, let's go to the entrance of the secret room now!"
Dumbledore was ready for action.
But Blake stopped him.
"Please wait a moment, Professor."
"I suppose, if you knew what that monster was."
"You wouldn't be in such a hurry to open the secret room."
Dumbledore asked doubtfully, "Isn't that a giant snake?"
Although according to Blake's description.
That snake is really big.
However, in terms of Dumbledore's ability.
A giant snake is not enough to pose a threat to him.
Suddenly, Dumbledore looked at the crown on the table and felt enlightened.
This is Ravenclaw's crown.
The reason why he has been missing for a long time.
It was because it was made into a Horcrux by Voldemort.
And this Horcrux was "played with" by Blake for more than a year.
If he really had a way to make the remaining soul in the Horcrux speak.
The remnant soul in this crown must have revealed a lot of information to Blake!
"Did you learn something about that crown?"
"He did reveal some, but you know, it's almost impossible to know all his secrets.
Dumbledore nodded. "It's amazing that you can get him to reveal something."
Since we can't leave now.
Dumbledore waved his wand.
On one side of the office, several chairs appeared.
There is also a table with hot black tea.
Dumbledore asked a few people to sit down and drink tea first.
Blake looked at the tea and smacked his lips with a grimace.
It's not that he doesn't like drinking tea, it's that he doesn't like drinking Dumbledore's tea...
This old man himself has never drunk much...
Dumbledore knocked on the table helplessly.
Then there was a glass of sweet pumpkin juice on the table.
Dumbledore pushed the pumpkin juice in front of Blake.
Blake happily picked up the cup and took a long sip.
Then he sighed with satisfaction.
The sweet pumpkin juice is still very good.
Blake put down the pumpkin juice and said:
"Based on some of the information I learned and combined with Ginny's previous story, I have made some assumptions.
What speculation?”
"I happened to know something from him about something that happened fifty years ago."
Blake pointed at the crown.
In fact, he didn't learn about the secret room in the crown.
It's just that he remembered the content of the original work.
However, this does not prevent him from throwing the blame on Guan Mian.
Anyway, as long as I know things I'm not supposed to know.
That's what the crown told me.
This saves Blake a lot of explaining trouble.
Sure enough, Dumbledore had no doubts.
Instead, he asked directly: "Do you know about the secret room incident fifty years ago?"
"Yes... Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts because he was framed by Voldemort, right?"
"You actually know this... But, it is true... I know he is innocent, but..." Dumbledore's eyes showed a trace of bitterness.
"One is an outlier with weird behavior in the eyes of others, while the other is the president of the student union who is excellent in both morals and academics and is praised by everyone..."
"After that incident, people took Tom's side without much thought..."
Blake also found it ridiculous.
There is no evidence at all...
Not even the so-called monster was caught!
Conviction begins!
Isn't this a kind of bullying?
And the real murderer, but nothing happened at all.
He also received a trophy for the Special Contribution Award.
And that trophy is still in the trophy room at Hogwarts to this day...
I have to say that this is a very ironic thing.
"Hagrid has really loved dealing with all kinds of magical animals since he was a child."
"In this regard, he is very similar to you now."
"But Tom took advantage of this..."
Although fifty years have passed, Dumbledore still feels sad every time he thinks about it.
Blake smiled and said: "So, this is one of the reasons why I won't let you destroy the diary so quickly."
"Isn't this one of the pieces of evidence that can help Hagrid overturn the case?"
"I don't believe that no one in the Ministry of Magic knows what a Horcrux is!"
"As long as they know that Tom Riddle is Voldemort, they should know that there is something wrong with what happened back then!"
"Moreover, the testimony of a guy who created such an evil thing as a Horcrux at the age of sixteen is not credible in itself!"
"...or...can you bear to see Hagrid continue to be unjustly accused?"
"Poor Hagrid, he has been taking the blame for decades, and now he can even use a swelling spell on a pumpkin secretly..."
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment.
After he got Voldemort's Horcrux.
The first reaction is to destroy.
After all, only by destroying the Horcrux can Voldemort be killed.
But I never thought that this Horcrux could also be one of the evidences to overturn Hagrid's case...
The truth is the truth, and there is no need to overturn the case just because fifty years have passed.
Seeing Blake's serious expression.
Dumbledore felt guilty.
Because he didn't even think of this!
"What you said makes sense..."
"After we clean up the secret room, the evidence will be more complete."
"When the time comes, I will personally go to the Ministry of Magic to rehabilitate Hagrid!"
Dumbledore was serious about his promise.
Blake agreed.
"Yeah...after the real murderous monster in the secret room is solved."
"Rehabilitating Hagrid is the real evidence..."
"Speaking of the monster in the secret room... I think you must already know what it is."
"That must be the big snake I saw in the secret room."
"And that's why I'm stopping you from going now."
"It's because I combined it with the testimony of the girl who died fifty years ago... Myrtle."
"There are also some actions that Ginny herself said just now after being manipulated."
"I deduced what kind of monster it was..."
"I seem to have seen a record of this kind of monster in a book I read..."
Blake said this.
Dumbledore, McGonagall and Ginny looked at Blake intently.
They really didn't know what kind of monster it was.
Because the legend of the secret room is also vague.
All I know is that it was a secret room left specially by Slytherin.
There was a monster inside that he had raised.
The purpose is to eliminate Muggle-born wizards from the school...
The entire legend, apart from that, has no other useful information.
Of course, no one knows what the monster is.
As long as you know a little bit about what that monster is.
What happened to Hagrid back then would not be brought to light.
To verify that I am not talking nonsense.
Blake started taking books out of his pocket
A thick book was placed on the table by Blake.
"Um...that's not it..."
Blake muttered to himself and quickly took out another book from his pocket.
"It's not this..."
"Hiss...this is not..."
Just like that, Blake took out nearly ten thick books from his pocket!
Even Dumbledore's desk creaked under the pressure...
Ginny gaped at Blake's pocket.
This...how many books are there in this little pocket...
At this time, she seemed to understand why Blake was so powerful.
A person who carries so many books with him......
It seems normal to be more powerful.
Dumbledore looked at the rickety table in front of him.
He felt that he needed to strengthen the table.
Otherwise (bhdd), maybe if Blake takes out another book, the table will collapse...
At this moment, Blake was surprised by a voice coming from the other side of the book.
"Found it! This is it!"
At this time, the books stacked high have separated Blake...
With a wave of Blake's hand, all the books automatically flew back into his pocket.
Only the book in his hand was left.
With all the books taken away.
The table was almost collapsed under the pressure.
There was a squeak of relief.
"Ahem...Sorry, I usually use too many books for entertainment..."
"However, it is not wrong.
Ginny looked at Blake with shocked eyes.
His eyes were filled with the admiration of a scumbag for a top student.
So many books... is he just reading for fun?
And when you need to use the knowledge from these books.
How can he remember exactly which book it is from among so many books?
She felt that the weight of these books alone could crush her to death...
!detected……"
Ginny noticed the book Blake was holding.
The title of the book, which is somewhat faded, is printed on the cover - "Encyclopedia of Magical Animals and Plants"
Blake quickly turned to one of the pages, then turned the book and pushed it in front of Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and the others.
Blake said: "That's not an ordinary giant snake, it's a basilisk, also known as the Snake King!
I saw a lifelike green snake drawn on an opened page of the book.
"...The basilisk is hatched from a rooster's egg by a toad..."
"...In addition to its deadly fangs... its glare can also kill!"
....Anyone who looks at it will be killed immediately!"
...The basilisk is the deadly enemy of spiders, and spiders will run away when they see the basilisk. "
"The basilisk's weakness is the rooster, and the rooster's crow is fatal to it!"
Professor McGonagall and the others read the information in the book silently.
Blake is here
While adding: "The reason why I think that giant snake is a basilisk.
"The most intuitive reason is because when I saw it tonight, I felt that it was very similar to the basilisk in the book."
"And Myrtle told me how she died. That day, she opened the bathroom door and saw a pair of yellow pupils, and then she lost consciousness..."
Myrtle hadn't actually told Blake this, but Blake knew that Dumbledore wouldn't go to Myrtle to check on this.
"The secondary reason is what Ginny said before..."
"When she woke up yesterday, she found herself next to Hagrid's chicken coop.
Ginny nodded, "Yeah... I didn't know why I was there at the time, but now I think about it, I seemed to go there to look for roosters... As for why I was looking for roosters
Ginny shook her head, expressing her confusion.
Blake pointed to a piece of text on the book.
"The basilisk's weakness is the rooster..."
"Once the chamber is opened, the basilisk is released
"Tom would never tolerate a rooster anywhere near the castle."
"That's why he just went to the secret room to take a look at the basilisk tonight and ordered it to go back to sleep."
"Because he just found where Hagrid's rooster is and hasn't solved the problem yet!"
"And the main purpose of him summoning the basilisk tonight is just to check whether the basilisk is still alive after so many years.
"I think if I hadn't stopped him, he would have manipulated Ginny into killing Hagrid's cocks one by one."
"Then, he will finally release the basilisk and let it attack the students in the castle. Just like it did fifty years ago...
As Blake stopped talking.
Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall only felt chills running through their bodies.
Because they all thought of...
If Blake didn't happen to notice something strange about Ginny.
Then... Tom will definitely be able to use Ginny's identity to finally release the basilisk...
Such a monster will kill anyone it stares at.
If it breaks into a place where students gather...
Like the auditorium during dinner...
It really will be a bloodbath!
After thinking of these terrible consequences, Professor McGonagall felt that his hands and feet were cold.
Dumbledore looked at Blake with fear in his eyes.
"I'm so lucky... I'm so glad you're okay tonight!"
What if the person in the secret room just tonight was a real basilisk!
In other words, Blake hid in the dark and saw the basilisk with his own eyes!
If Blake and the basilisk accidentally looked at each other at that time...
Then Blake is dead now!
Of course, Dumbledore didn't know that Blake's True Eye skill was immune to the basilisk's eye magic.
I just thought Blake was okay because he was lucky enough not to have direct eye contact with the basilisk.
I just saw the body of the basilisk from a distance...
Then Dumbledore began to blame himself.
"I'm so damned! This kid Blake took a risk to stop such a big conspiracy!"
"I actually spanked him? I really deserve to die!"
Blake had no idea that Dumbledore had such complex psychological activities.
Then he said: "This is also the reason why I prevent you from opening the secret room and destroying that monster now."
"Because although I am not 100% sure that the person in the secret room is a basilisk, there is only a 10% chance..."
"Then we should be careful no matter how careful we are."
"We should be fully prepared before setting off."
Dumbledore sighed, "Thanks to you, Blake."
"It's unimaginable. If you hadn't stopped this conspiracy in advance, I don't know how many people would have been killed in the future!"
He experienced that incident fifty years ago.
Take Dumbledore's knowledge of Tom Riddle.
That time, only one girl died, not because the basilisk could only kill one person.
It's because Tom knows that if another death occurs in Hogwarts, then Hogwarts will be shut down.
The closure of Hogwarts means that Tom has to go back to that disgusting orphanage!
Therefore, he did not open the secret room again, but laid the blame on Hagrid.
Therefore, no more victims appeared in the group...
Now, Tom, who is already a Horcrux, will no longer worry about Hogwarts being closed down.
Once the basilisk is released again, without restraint, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Professor, there is no need to worry now. Next, we only need to get rid of the basilisk and avoid future troubles. Then this matter will be over.
