Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Of course. Why not?"

"Think about Malfoy, he didn't go to the appointment last year. It was still a sacred duel invitation. We waited there for so long, and finally waited for the fierce Filch. What if this time it was also a trap? Malfoy My father just canceled Dumbledore's position! Malfoy and Siegel are family friends, they are both weird, Malfoy is arrogant, and Siegel is withdrawn!"

Harry thought about it carefully. He really couldn't ignore the possibility that this was a trap. "We still have to go to the appointment. We don't know anything now. We need intelligence, and Siegel will need our assistance. She is unlikely. Playing tricks on us in this matter, Professor Sprout's mandela grass will soon be cultivated, and Hermione and the others will soon wake up, as long as she doesn't want to break up with Hermione, she won't do it this way. "

"Well, you're right." Ron also agreed, and he absently used his knight to eat Harry's bishop, staring blankly at what the knight looked like on the chessboard after he defeated the bishop.

"We need to bring your invisibility cloak. It is forbidden to go out after six o'clock. The professors have been stepping up patrols. I don't want to hit anyone on the way, let alone Snape always want to buckle Gryffindor. More points, so that we can be pulled down from the first place." Ron suddenly remembered something, "Do you know what magical powers the stone monster on the third floor has? You still need a password."

"I don't know, but when I passed by, the stone monster was stuck in front of a wall, but I didn't dare to look closely. Lockhart's office is also on the same floor. I don't want to bump into him." Harry was depressed. Say.

"Yeah, he is really annoying. He has nothing but a face. I don't know why Hogwarts chose him to be our teacher." Ron imitated Lockhart's behavior, "'Potter, let us Take a picture!', God, it's disgusting."

"I think most people have already seen his true face." Harry looked around nervously, and Lockhart's request for a photo with him reminded him of a troubled follower, "Don't play this here, Ron! "

"Harry!" Hearing this sharp male voice, Harry groaned in pain. Colin Crevey didn't know which corner he came out of, holding his camera tightly in his hand, with excitement on his face. The look comes.

"Harry, your little fan is here." Ron teased ("Hey, don't do this!").Colin is a freshman in Gryffindor and a wizard from a Muggle family. He has been chasing Harry since enrolling, as if Harry were a superstar.His attitude was warm and sincere, but apart from being happy, Harry was more helpless and bored.

"We're going to hold him, Ron, and don't let me joke." Harry warned him. "If Colin gets caught, we don't even want to go to Siegel."

Hogwarts at night was a bit gloomy, the torches were burning, and finally gave a bright light to the road ahead. Because of the ban on going out, the usual lively castle is not very angry, at most you can hear the professors from a distance The clatter of shoes on the ground, or a long shadow, projected from the other side of the corridor.

It took Colin Fei that the two of them were so big. The little fan was like a sticky brown candy. Harry felt that the longing light that came out of Colin's eyes when he looked at him was about to drown him.To be honest, he is really troubled. No matter what reputation he has in the magic world, it obviously doesn’t belong to him. He doesn’t even know why he can destroy Voldemort, but people don’t care about it at all, just keep expecting Pressed on him.

"Hey, keep it down, Harry, you're about to squeeze me out." Harry returned to his senses and quickly curbed his movements.He and Ron huddled under the invisibility cloak. Fortunately, they were both small and thin. You should know that before they added Hermione, the three of them hid together.

They avoid patrols along the way and be careful not to expose a trace. This is very difficult, because they always feel that those sharp eyes will scan their hiding places from time to time, even if it may be just an illusion.They had set off half an hour earlier, pretending that they were too tired to go back to bed, but now Harry felt that they might be late because they spent too much time quietly waiting for the professors to pass by.

They flashed into the third floor. Thankfully, the patrol had not passed through here, but the boys were very cautious and did not take off the invisibility cloak. They found the stone monster mentioned on the note. It looked like a gargoyle with eyes closed. Snoring.

"Hmm...cold lemon juice?" Harry said softly.

The gargoyle did not blink his eyes, snoring and jumped aside, revealing a hole.After the boys passed through the hole, the gargoyle jumped back into place.The boys had no time to be surprised to see this scene. The stone slab on the wall turned into a rotating staircase and stood before them, as if they were inviting them to move on.

They felt that they had crawled for a long time, and finally came to the end, pushed open the closed door in front of them, and heard a cold greeting.

"You are late."

Chapter 21 Progress

This is a spacious and bright room. There are many clutter in the room, but it does not appear chaotic. Harry noticed that there are many pictures on the wall. The names and lives of the pictures are briefly described below the pictures. They are all The former principal of Hogwarts.On the wall of the room, beside the window, there is a long table with claw-shaped corners.Zoe Siegel sat on the chair behind the table and looked at the two boys carefully.

"The invisibility cloak? That's great, you can see that you are a little bit savvy, Potter." Just as Harry was about to explain, Zoe didn't bother about it. His eyes swept over Harry, paying special attention to his unharmed. His hand smashed his mouth unwillingly.

"Where is this place?" Ron asked in surprise, looking around.

"Of course it's the principal's room. You haven't been here, have you? Dumbledore only let me in, and he will tell me the updated password." Zoe's tone was provocative.

"Oh, the principal’s room, it’s so cool!" Ron didn’t care about Zoe’s irony. He devoted himself to observation. When he saw a big red feathered bird standing on a bracket in the corner, it looked like a The raging flames, the gorgeous feathers and the brilliance, the big bird lowered its head, as if asleep.

"Oh my God, this is a phoenix!" Ron let out a awe-inspiring voice, admiring the miraculous and great life in nature, "I can actually see a phoenix here!"

"It's okay, Fox belongs to Dumbledore. He is the greatest wizard of our time, and he can certainly tame the phoenix." But Zoe's expression eased, and she felt a little complacent, as if Ron was complimenting her.

"Dumbledore's office... why are we here?" Harry asked.

"Because it is the safest, it is impossible for anyone to invade here, and the professors will not patrol here. It is convenient for us to talk, right?"

"Is this one of your tricks?" Ron didn't believe her.

"What are you talking about? If I want to tease you, I will report directly to Professor McGonagall." Zoe's tone was also aggressive.

"Huh, who knows what you think, it was Lucius Malfoy who caused Dumbledore's resignation. Don't you feel ashamed to be so close to that family?"

Zoe turned pale and trembled with anger. "Shame? When everyone treats me as a beast, only Malfoy reaches out to me. How can you be qualified to ask me this question! I don't know why Mr. Lucius would do that. I sent the letter, but he did not reply!"

The two of them refused to give up, seeing that the atmosphere was about to slip into a bad direction. Harry hurriedly stopped the two who got angry, "Siegel, you must have an idea when you asked us to come, right? We also want to know about your investigation. The professors are tight-lipped about what they arrive, and they refuse to say anything. What can we do? We must unite, whether you look at me or not."

His attitude is very sincere, and he believes that Zoe will think about it carefully-because she shouldn't have asked them to fight.

Zoe watched him for two minutes, then spoke.

"Harry Potter." She called his name. "Who am I?"

Harry didn't know what she was thinking about. The question was too straightforward and he frowned. "Zoe Siegel, who else can you be?"

"Can you understand?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Harry noticed a surprised look on Zoe's face.

At this moment, Ron, who was standing next to him, prodded his waist with great force. He looked over and found that Ron was sweating profusely and his face paled from fear: "Merlin is here! What the hell are you talking about? !"

"Siegel asked me who she was and said something inexplicable--hey, aren't you there? Don't we speak English?"

"In fact, we are not talking in English." Zoe glanced at Ron. "Weasley's attitude is normal."

Harry noticed something was wrong, Ron's answer answered the question: "Oh my God! You just talked like two snakes spitting cores at each other, I can only hear your hissing pronunciation, it feels terrifying, then A cold, slippery voice—Harry, you are a snake-like voice!"

"What's the big deal about it? Isn't Siegel also a snakeboy? I dare say that most people in your wizarding world understand this." Harry said.

"No, Snake-Laoqiang is an extremely rare talent that can be inherited through blood. It can almost be said to be one of the symbols of the Dark Wizard. We can all accept Siegel as the Snake-Laozi because she is... As he said, he glanced at Zoe carefully, "Mysterious man's child. But Harry, how come you are a snake-like voice? This is incredible!"

"Yes, incredible, Potter." Zoe looked at him curiously, making him almost think he was a guinea pig. "You shouldn't forget the commotion now. Why do you think those idiot students are so frightened? Snakeman voice usually equates with the most vicious and powerful wizards, they don't understand, and they think I want to attack them, a bunch of idiots." Zoe gritted his teeth.

"It's funny, the great savior is a snake-like voice, hum, if I let this news out, what do you think people will think? They will treat you as a monster, stay away from you, hurt you, even if you do nothing, As long as it exists, it is an offense."

Ron hugged his arm and said firmly: "Impossible, Harry has us to support him, we believe him, people will not hurt Harry, anyone who has been with him knows what he is like in life. "

Zoe frowned. She felt that she was actively provoking, but she was caught off guard in the end. She couldn't refute Ron, although she was not without friends... But one of the biggest differences between her and Harry was her She hardly takes the initiative to expand interpersonal relationships, and subconsciously avoids the kindness of strangers. She doesn't believe in the so-called "trust" of others.

"Uh, well, you are a snake-like voice, which is good." Zoe changed the subject stiffly.

"What's so good about this?" Harry wondered.

"In this case, even if I have an accident, you will have a chance to open the secret room." She said something that shocked the boys.

"Have you found the secret room?" Ron questioned.

"Not sure, but I think this is the most likely possibility." Zoe looked at the two boys. "Before me, Hermione and Luna ("Who is that?" Ron muttered) were there. There was a conversation in the infirmary. Regarding the true face of the monster that attacked the students, we all agreed that it was a basilisk."

"Yes, the professors in Hagrid’s room mentioned it before. They said that only the snake tongue can manipulate the basilisk, so Hagrid is innocent, remember, Ron?" Harry suddenly realized, "but we haven't seen it. I don’t know the ecology of the basilisk."

"You should read more books. With such common sense for granted, why would Hermione be friends with two idiots?" Zoe found a sense of superiority in Harry. "The basilisk is a monster with a long history. Originally born out of a deliberate experiment by a wizard, a Greek shaman-like wizard put a male egg under the toad and let it hatch, and a basilisk was born-a great pioneer! The basilisk has the ability to kill anyone who sees it The basilisk’s life span can be very long, very deadly."

"That's why one person died the last time the chamber was opened. This is what Hermione told us." Harry said, "but why didn't anyone die this time?"
