Douglas looked at Dumbledore and said:
"Then can we get rid of the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets now?"
Harry suddenly felt as though he had heard some unbelievable secret, and that secret definitely had something to do with him.
Dumbledore glanced at Harry, pondered for a moment, and asked:
"Douglas, what do you have planned?"
Douglas froze, immediately feeling a little displeased. That made it sound as though he had been plotting something.
But then he took a sheet of parchment out of his pocket, with quite a few sentences written on it.
He handed it to Dumbledore and said:
"These are all the Parseltongue commands I could think of that might be needed to open the Chamber of Secrets and release the basilisk. We can have Harry read them out in Parseltongue one by one, then play back the sounds. That way, Harry won't have to risk entering the Chamber of Secrets."
Before Dumbledore could speak, Harry grew anxious. He had figured it out: his Parseltongue was a key. The original key was right here, yet Professor Holmes actually wanted to use a copy. He was really looking down on him.
"Professor, although I don't know anything about this Chamber of Secrets or basilisk, I think I can take part. There's no need to make a recording. Don't forget, I'm a Gryffindor student. I'm not afraid of adventure... Besides, Muggle electrical equipment doesn't work at Hogwarts..."
Dumbledore was like a referee. After hearing Harry out, he turned to Douglas with a smile.
Without another word, Douglas took a pocket radio straight out of his pocket. This was a product he had specifically purchased from the system for fifty points. It was extremely useful and could even pick up broadcasts from the Wizarding Wireless Network.
It wasn't that
