The latest chapter in the Harry Potter Bastard novel

“Wow, let me see, a student who doesn’t sleep at night and likes to mess around…” Peeves had apparently spotted Solim, who was bored and ready to go all over the little wizard.

Solim’s eyes lit up when he saw Peeves.

“Peeves! Where is Barrow the Bloodman? ”

Hearing the name of Bloody Barrow, Peeves was obviously startled and began to look around.

“I didn’t see him on the astronomy tower, I’m looking for him now, where is he now?”

“Aha! Abominable little imp head! Dare to scare the great Peeves! Lord Barrow is not here at all! Instead of seeing Barrow the Bloody, Peeves began to grin at Solim.

“It’s because he’s not there that I asked you where he is now, and you must know.” Solim said without embarrassment, he didn’t want to get involved with this crazy elf. “I have something to do with Barrow, don’t delay, otherwise I will tell Barrow at that time that you broke his business.”

Peeves was clearly afraid of Barrow the Blood, as many Hogwarts students knew. But no one had used this against Peeves, and Solim was the first.

“Don’t! Don’t tell Lord Barrow. Peeves shook, “But Master Barrow is not here all day today, and Master can’t find him for a few days every month.” ”

Frowning, Solim looked at Peeves and said fiercely: “Don’t try to lie! I will tell Blood Barrow about you cheating on me, and if I don’t want to suffer it, I will quickly tell me, where is Blood Barrow? ”

“Peeves doesn’t know!” Peeves trembled, he was obviously extremely afraid of Bloody Barrow, “Lord Barrow’s whereabouts don’t want others to know. ”

After thinking about it, Solim said: “If you see Barrow the Blood, say that Solim Selwyn of Slytherin is looking for him, or if you see him, come to me directly and tell me where he is, hear me clearly!” ”

After making sure Peeves remembered his words, Solim left the Astronomy Tower. It was late, but Solim was still not ready to go back to rest. He was going to spend the night looking for some information and planning what to do next.

Seriously, Solim now somewhat regretted giving the diary to Dumbledore. Knowing that this would happen, Solim would keep the diary himself, and when he finished his own affairs, he would destroy it and give it to Dumbledore, and then there would not be so many broken things.

The wand in Solim’s hand emitted a bright light, and the portraits in the corridor kept complaining and protesting, but Solim didn’t pay attention to these things, he was on his way to the small classroom. He knew he had to hurry up now and try to get everything done before Dumbledore started making a concrete move.

The basilisk is indeed terrifying, not to mention the deadly nature of the thousand-year-old basilisk. But Solim is not without chances, those powerful magical creatures have sharp claws and solid scales, and some have not weak intelligence, but wizards never rely on brute force when dealing with these magical creatures that are obviously stronger than themselves.

That’s the point of Solim’s search for Barrow the Bloody. Barrow, a student of Salazar Slytherin, thought he might know something about the Basilisk, after all, Voldemort also got clues about the Chamber of Secrets from Barrow when he was a student. And given Peeves’ statement that Barrow disappears a few days a month, Solim doesn’t think Barrow is going to Ravenclaw Tower to talk to Ms. Gray.

Solim had tried to find the location of the Chamber of Secrets on the Marauder’s map, but it was clear that the magic left by Salazar Slytherin was still powerful, even though Solim knew the exact location of the entrance, there was nothing on the Marauder’s Map, it was just a normal room, and the secret passage was not displayed on the map at all.

In the evening of the next day, Solim ascended the Astronomy Tower through Peeves’ guidance and met Barrow the Bloody. The students said that Barrow the Blood was a terrifying ghost, not only Peeves were afraid of him, but other ghosts could also see their fear of Barrow the Blood. Barrow had hollow eyes and an emaciated face, and his robe was stained with silver blood.

“Hello, Barrow.” Solim said hello first.

“Little Naughty said to me that there was a Slytherin student looking for me. That must be you. Barrow’s voice was hollow, and Solim dared to say that few people in the school had heard Barrow the Bloody speak.

“That’s right, I came to you to ask you a few things.” Solim did not delay and asked his own question directly: “The great founder Salazar Slytherin left a basilisk in the school, is it active now, is it able to communicate, is it as the legend has it – is it there to clean up Muggle students, or is it there to defend against foreign enemies.” Barrow, these questions are important, and I think you’re the one at Hogwarts who is most likely to know about them. ”

Listening to Solim’s words, Bloody Barrow’s eyes were no longer empty, his eyes became sharp, stared straight at Solim, and said sharply: “How do you know about Basque!” I’m telling you! I will never allow anything to happen against the Dean’s will again!” I’m telling you! You don’t want to know anything from me! I will definitely not be deceived again! After that, Barrow the Blood turned around and prepared to leave here.

Seeing this, Solim immediately spoke: “Barrow! You misunderstood, the man is back, he wants to open the Chamber of Secrets again, and then use the Basilisk to clean up the school’s Muggle students! I came to ask for your help. ”

Hearing this, Barrow the Blood stopped.

“He… Back? Barrow’s voice trembled a little, “He’s back? How dare he even come back?! I was so blind! I would even believe his nonsense! ”

“So say… That basilisk wasn’t left by Slytherin to weed out Muggle students? Solim asked, although he could infer this fact from some ancient records, he would prefer to hear the truth from Barrow, an insider.

“Of course not! In those chaotic times, the school was attacked almost every few months, sometimes the dark creatures, sometimes the dark wizards wrapped in ignorant Muggles, in short, the school was constantly threatened, for this reason, the headmaster would leave a basilisk, he was afraid that when he left, the school’s protection would be broken, which would ruin his hard work, and Basque would never attack anyone in the school. ”

“But as far as I know, there is still a student in the school who died and became a ghost, and I believe you know who she is.”

Barrow closed his eyes: “That was a huge mistake, it was my mistake… I shouldn’t have believed him. ”

“But he’s back now, right in school. As long as he gets the chance, he will still open the secret room. “And I want to stop this from happening, so, Barrow, can you answer my question?” ”

“This period is an active period for Basque, he has just woken up from a deep sleep, and as for communication, Basque can certainly communicate, in fact, since I… After becoming like this, every time Basque woke up from a deep sleep I would go to see him, he had been in that place for too long, the school had not been attacked for a long time, and Basque had been staying there, in fact, he had been sleeping, only every once in a while he had to wake up and then fall asleep. The dean had given him an order not to harm the students in the school, but that man…” At this, Barrow’s tone began to become angry: “He induced Basque to kill a student unintentionally. This is simply a heinous crime! Since he’s back now, why don’t you go to the current headmaster for help? Dumbledore is the most powerful headmaster I’ve seen in nearly 100 years, and you can go for his help. ”

But our principal is also an “accomplice” in this matter, Solim smiled bitterly in his heart.

“Basque can communicate with people, right?”

“Of course, as long as it is parseltongue, you can naturally communicate with Basque.” Barrow the Bloodman looked at Solim and asked, “Are you?” ”

Shaking his head, Solim replied, “No, I’m not, but my sister is.” Are you sure he won’t hurt the students? ”

“Of course! Basque definitely doesn’t hurt students! Barrow said loudly, and then his voice dropped again: “But there is no one in the school to communicate with him except me.” ”

“You still have Parseltongue?”

“I learned it with the dean, and Parseltongue can be mastered through learning, but my talent is not good, I will only have a limited number of words, but Rowena can communicate with the dean in snake language.”

After thinking about it, Solim looked at Barrow and said, “Well, let’s make an appointment, I’ll take my sister to see Basque, but you have to promise me that he will never hurt the students, and let him close his eyes when the time comes.” ”
