The rainy night passed with the sound of dripping.
It was almost lunch time, and Sean saw returning Harry and Ron in the Great Hall.
"I thought there was only good news over the weekend... I didn't expect to have to help Filch polish the silverware in Trophy Room,"
Ron was holding a brand new wand, but his face that should have been happy was depressed.
"No magic - just wipe it with your hands!"
"I'm willing to trade with you anytime,"
Harry responded listlessly,
"I have practiced scrubbing and washing at Dursley family a lot. But replying to Lockhart's admirers... it must be like a nightmare..."
When they were talking, Sean listened quietly as usual.
Consistent with his plan, Harry is about to hear the voice of Basilisk. At this time, he will understand Parseltongue and gradually understand that he is a Parselmouth.
"Your new invention?"
Hermione held something similar to Toad and asked Sean curiously.
This is an alchemical creation that exudes metallic luster and wears big glasses, like an aviator.
"Hmm."
Sean responded.
Considering that Sean is the one...Hermione doesn't think it's surprising that he invented anything. The only thing she's curious about is - what does this little thing do?
Sean takes out Plan Map, and Alchemy Frog displays a special mark on it.
This mark is the characteristic that distinguishes Plan Map from Marauder's Map.
On Marauder's Map, Chamber of Secrets was not marked, so Ginny suddenly appeared and disappeared on the map.
So Sean made an alchemical creation and named it Alchemy Frog.
It can replace living things to test the efficacy of Magic Refraction Mirror. Considering that Alchemy Frog may be a "dead thing", Sean also prepared some small beetles for backup.
After waiting for Harry to discover his Parselmouth, Sean can enter Chamber of Secrets by asking him.
Of course, Alchemy Frog does more than that.
It carries many things with it:
For example, Plan Map is used to locate and send messages, such as Button; such as a Paper airplane that leads to Headmaster's office and other places; such as some biscuits that are enough to make a big noise.
Alchemy Frog, it is the final guarantee in the Sean plan.
Once things get out of control, the seven Alchemy Frog will activate the final insurance:
Drag Basilisk and summon Dumbledore.
As for why there are seven, it's because Paper airplane has seven in total.
I hope I can't get there...
The afternoon passed by without me noticing, and it was five minutes to eight in a blink of an eye.
In Hope Cottage, Harry reluctantly dragged his feet out of the warm room and walked along the corridor on the third floor towards Lockhart's office.
He gritted his teeth and knocked on the door.
The door opened immediately, and Lockhart looked at him with a smile on his face.
And somewhere he didn't notice, a Black Cat was staying in the shadow of the corner.
"Ah, the little villain is here! Come in, Harry, come in."
Lockhart said.
There are countless Lockhart picture frames hanging on the wall of the office, which are very brightly illuminated by many candles.
Some of them even have his signature, and there is a large stack of photos on the table.
"You can write envelopes!"
Lockhart said to Harry, as if this was a big discount,
"The first letter is addressed to Lady Gladys Gugion, God bless her - a ardent admirer of mine."
Time passed like a snail. Harry allowed Lockhart to talk endlessly, only occasionally answering "um", "ah" and "yes".
Black Cat is shaking his beard behind an object.
The candle burned shorter and shorter, and suddenly Black Cat's ears moved, and he heard a sound - a sound completely different from the crackling sound of the remaining candle or the chattering of the two people in the room.
Black Cat turned around and saw Harry as if he was startled. There was a large lilac-colored ink stain in front of the street name of Veronica Smythely's address on the letter.
"What?"
Harry said loudly.
"I know!"
Lockhart said,
"On the bestseller list for six months in a row! An unprecedented record!"
"No,"
Harry said crazily,
"That voice!"
"I'm sorry,"
Lockhart asked in confusion,
"What sound?"
"That--the voice said--didn't you hear it?"
Lockhart looked at Harry in shock.
"What are you talking about, Harry? Maybe you're a little sleepy? God - look what time it is! We've been here for almost four hours! I can't believe it - time flies, doesn't it?"
Harry didn't answer. He pricked up his ears to listen to the voice, but there was no more, until he walked out of the office, until someone came out of the corner.
"Did you hear it too, Harry?"
A reassuring voice appeared.
"Sean, why are you-"
Harry asked in surprise, and then he couldn't wait to say,
"Did you hear that too?"
Sean nodded.
"Oh, my God, you must know..."
Harry imitated those sounds. He thought he was speaking English, but it was just a "hissing" sound like his tongue touching his chin.
He was so immersed in the sound that he had no idea that he was spitting out a message.
"How much did you hear?"
Sean asked.
"Hiss--"
Harry said.
"Well, how do you say open?"
Sean guide.
"Hiss--"
Harry repeated it doubtfully.
"Okay, I understand, take this."
Sean wrote it down and put a Alchemy Frog in the hand of Harry.
"By the way, Harry, what you just said was not English, but more like...Parseltongue."
Harry was the only one left in the corridor. He carefully recalled what he had just said and broke into a cold sweat in the blink of an eye.
Girls' Bathroom on the second floor.
Sean found that special entrance.
"Hiss (open)--"
he imitated.
The next moment, the faucet emits a dazzling white light and begins to spin rapidly.
Then, the pool started to move. The pool slowly disappeared from sight, revealing a very thick water pipe that could allow a person to get in.
Five Alchemy Frog jumped in.
The rainy night was still wet and windy.
Sean is waiting here, looking at the pattern of Basilisk, thinking quietly.
While ensuring the safety of Hogwarts, he wanted to complete the plan as much as possible - to subdue Basilisk alone instead of killing him, and develop Basilisk cookies.
It is foreseeable that no professor will agree to his dangerous and whimsical plan.
Killing Basilisk is not too difficult, one Rooster Biscuit can do it; but subduing Basilisk, especially under the nose of Tom, is dangerous enough.
Voldemort, whose soul was split, became crazy, but the seventeen-year-old Tom Riddle was still the gloomy and ambitious Heir of Slytherin.
"What are you doing?"
When Moaning Myrtle opened the threshold curiously, he only saw Sean touching Alchemy Frog's round and bright head.
Magic Refraction Mirror is feasible, which also means that the day when Sean faces Basilisk is approaching.
Deer has adjusted some details today. Readers will still be able to see two chapters when they wake up tomorrow morning.
