There are many secrets about the four founders of Hogwarts.
Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets counts as one, and Ravenclaw's diadem counts as one.
Hufflepuff's golden cup is in the hands of her descendants, and only Gryffindor keeps his hat and sword in the school.
Mag, who held his head high, and Flitwick, who bowed his head helplessly, were in sharp contrast.
But the one who was in the best mood could only be Snape who was looking up at the Slytherin statue.
There are two snake carvings in front of the stone tunnel, and a huge statue that reaches the ceiling inside the secret room.
Among the four founders, perhaps only Salazar Slytherin dared to leave such obvious traces.
Vincent held the Sorting Hat, "Mr. Hat, do you know where the basilisk is hiding?"
"Well - I have to think about it seriously."
After looking through the huge secret room, there were basically no conspicuous traps or other trap doors.
While the Sorting Hat was thinking, Harry opened the door in Parseltongue and his mouth went dry.
He drank a large glass of water and started on the other wall.
Hermione came to the statue of Slytherin and stood on tiptoe as if looking for some mechanism.
Snape was different from her.
He always felt that the patterns on the statue's robe might record some powerful magic.
If you replace the patterns one by one with ancient magical runes, you will indeed get some words with unclear meanings.
But after rearranging the order, the resulting sentences are not smooth at all.
"I know!" Hermione stared directly at the statue's mouth.
"I know!" the Sorting Hat said almost at the same time as her.
"Mouth?" Vincent walked under the statue.
Judging from the size, it can indeed allow the basilisk to enter and exit.
Moreover, this statue is so large that it is very possible that it could live for thousands of years.
"Salazar used to raise the baby basilisk in the cave of the current boat house. I remember he said that an environment with a small temperature difference is the most suitable."

The meaning of the Sorting Hat is very obvious.
The temperature difference in a closed environment is minimal.
The water pipe is the first layer, the stone wall is the second layer, and the tunnel is the third layer.
The last layer is the mouth of the statue that Hermione discovered.
The professors all quickly drew their wands;
Vincent took out the gun blade from his multifunctional belt - the super powerful enhanced version;
Hermione and Cedric were both ready;
Dobby stood in front of Harry under the statue.
Behind him are four professors, and behind them are six little ones.
Once the basilisk inside comes out, the professors will draw attention.
Mag will use the statue's mouth to reduce its size to trap the basilisk.
Snape acted as a human shield, responsible for defending against Venom, which was only slightly weaker than his eyes.
Flitwick, like Vincent, finds the right moment to attack the most lethal eye.
When the gaze stops working and the venom is almost exhausted, the team battle will officially begin.
"Hi shar hao sar——" Harry was already very familiar with this snake language.
After his last tone fell, the statue's mouth began to open little by little.
Snape squinted his eyes and recited the Iron Armor Curse that he had been preparing for a long time.
With a translucent barrier that's two feet thick, it shouldn't be a problem to resist venom.
But you know that the statue's mouth is completely open and nothing appears.
"It's not in there?"
"It's very possible, but we have to be extremely careful."
Harry retreated to Sprout and looked towards the tunnel behind him.
This feeling was very strange, as if something was calling him.
"Did you hear the sound?"
"what sound?"
"It seems to be coming from above."
"What!" Snape did not lift the iron armor curse, but also looked in the direction of the stone tunnel.
If the basilisk doesn't come back, if that person isn't here, then...
"Boom -" a low muffled sound came from the tunnel.
"We've fallen into a trap!" Mag trotted over.
The secret room is a secret room because it is closed.
If all entrances and exits are blocked, this place will become a real secret room.
"Merlin's beard!" Flitwick thought of something even more terrifying.
The entrance is the girls' bathroom, and the tunnel is three thousand feet long, so the secret room must be at least a thousand feet deep.
If there is something more exciting, such as pouring a lot of water down...
Just as he was about to tell his guess, a big stone rolled down from the entrance of the tunnel.
Mag raised his hand to make it smaller, and heard a series of low and muffled sounds.
"Is there a possibility -" Flitwick stood next to her, "after finding that blocking the road didn't work, he would choose something more exciting?"
"Like water?" Snape lifted the iron armor curse and glared at Vincent coldly.
"Like fire?" Vincent pretended not to understand the look.
Everyone has curiosity.
If he had not discovered the entrance, if he had not called the professors over, he would not have dared to enter the secret room rashly.
Have a peaceful night together?
Voldemort would not be so kind, and would only implement Slytherin's long-cherished wish even more crazily.
If they are successfully blocked, there is a high probability that they will not be able to get out in a short time.
The four deans are here, and the only weapon that can damage the basilisk is also here.
Who can resist?
A divination class professor who is either drunk or on the road drunk?
A magical zoology professor with missing arms and legs?
Or the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who sleeps like a dead pig every day?
This night without Dumbledore was destined to be uneventful.
"You are careless, Wayne." Snape mocked coldly: "If you don't have the strength, resorting to strategy is the most basic of basics."
Vincent sarcastically said: "Yes, even the youngest dean in our history has forgotten this basic."
"Hey - if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be like this now."
"If I pretended not to see anything, would he let go of such a good opportunity?"
Snape and Vincent quarreled for a few words, then both ran to the entrance of the tunnel and shrunk more and more rocks into smaller pieces.
"Whoosh whoosh-"
Flitwick guessed correctly.
The water flows as expected, and the secret chamber alone cannot contain it.
Mag pointed the wand at the wall and tried many times but failed to make the space larger.
"A particularly complex magic fixed the size of the entire secret room."
Even she had no choice but to use Salazar Slytherin's magic.
"We can only get smaller."
The turbulent water flow like a flood turned into water droplets floating upward.
"Minerva, you must have thought of it." Flitwick waved his wand, raising water droplets shrunk by Mag's transfiguration.
"He is consuming us." She pursed her lips, "Severus, how much range of fire can you control?"
Snape looked up at the water droplets in the green mist on the ceiling.
This size will definitely work.
As he released the fierce fire to dry up the water droplets, Vincent turned around very suddenly.
There is another way out!
Dobby is a house elf and can ignore the anti-Apparition spell and lead them away!
Hermione also thought of this method.
But after the two people said it, Snape immediately gave him a cold face and vetoed:
"If they were a group, where do you two think we would appear?"
