Everyone spent a pleasant time on Dragon Island, and the relationship between the families became deeper.

The following days were calm, and when the second half of the school year started, everyone was still a little overwhelmed.

The days passed slowly as everyone laughed and played.

The friends who knew about it were all wondering when they could go to the other world and were all thinking about it. However, Draco, the person involved, didn't react at all.

It was an ordinary morning after the start of the next semester, and everyone was eating in the auditorium. As if the world couldn't stand their leisure, the long-absent system reappeared.

A mechanical sound instantly perks up anyone who hears it. It's not that a dull life is bad, but sometimes you just want a little excitement.

Compared to the ups and downs of last semester, this semester is coming to an end without any disturbance at all.

[A commission from the world consciousness - In the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts Castle, there is a basilisk left by Salazar a thousand years ago.

A basilisk can grow up to 50 feet long, with dark green skin and yellow eyes. These eyes can instantly kill anyone or any animal that makes eye contact. Its skin is covered in scales that can deflect spells. Like other snakes, it sheds its skin periodically as it grows.

The natural lifespan of a basilisk is over 900 years, and Salazar Slytherin's basilisk lived for nearly a thousand years. Parseltongue can put a basilisk into a deep sleep, preventing it from growing and putting it into a state similar to suspended animation.

Their Achilles' heel is the crowing of a rooster. Basilisks prey on all mammals, birds, and reptiles. Male basilisks have a bright red feather on their heads.

Victims are only petrified when their gaze meets the Basilisk's indirectly, such as through reflection, as in the case of Hermione Granger and Colin Creevey.

However, Myrtle was not so lucky. She looked directly into the eyes of the basilisk and died on the spot. It was Tom Riddle, the Parseltongue who awakened the basilisk, and later the blame was put on Hagrid.

The way to survive the Basilisk's gaze is therefore to see it through another object: for example, Colin Creevey sees the Basilisk through a camera, resulting in him being petrified and the camera itself being burned;

Justin Finch-Fletchley saw the basilisk through the translucent body of the ghostly Nearly Headless Nick, and was himself petrified, while Nick, as a ghost, was only petrified because he was already dead.

This petrification effect appears to be extremely powerful, and the victim can only be revived using a Mandrake Resurrection Potion.

Everyone struggled to digest this news... Huh? This was the first time they'd heard of a world commission.

Then they realized that Hermione was among those petrified. Hermione was their friend, and when they heard that she might be petrified, everyone looked at her with concern. Hermione shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

Basilisk! Snape's eyes lit up.

Basilisk! Professor Dumbledore, McGonagall and the others looked serious.

Chamber of Secrets! Ron was a little eager to go, but he also knew clearly that he couldn't defeat the basilisk. He was happy for a while, but then he became dejected again.

The Chamber of Secrets! Isn't that right near Slytherin? Pansy was a little nervous. If Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets wasn't in Slytherin, where was it? Oh my god, she didn't want to dance with snakes! She thought of the holidays and the Anaconda movie that Hermione had watched, and goosebumps appeared on her skin.

Chamber of Secrets... Hermione and Harry wonder where it might be... Myrtle! As the first and only victim to die, she must have a clue!

They didn't know Colin Creevey, but they knew that Hermione and Justin were both first-year students. It seemed that Colin Creevey was a freshman who hadn't enrolled yet, which meant that this incident wouldn't happen until next year at the earliest.

[What does Ian want to entrust me with?] Draco is quite interested in basilisks. Basilisks have many uses and can be used as medicine in many places. Moreover, they are thousands of years old.

[Commission from the World Consciousness - Original Words: Remove the unstable factors, then have fun, Xiaolong!]

[Should I go by myself or tell my godfather and the others? It's just a basilisk...] Draco was touched by Ian's thoughtfulness but also a little distressed.

"Draco, what are you thinking about?" Harry asked suddenly.

"Thinking about the basilisk..." Draco said unconsciously while thinking. Huh?

Several eyes were fixed on Draco, and he suddenly came back to his senses. Besides his friends, he could also feel his godfather in the teacher's seat looking at him.

"What basilisk?" Harry's eyes were shining. He couldn't let Draco go looking for a basilisk alone.

"Well, alright, alright. I'll tell you guys in the Room of Requirement during afternoon break." Draco compromised, feeling everyone's gazes fixed on him. Everyone then looked away, quickly finished their breakfast, and prepared to go to class.

Dumbledore looked at the displeased Snape soothingly. "Severus, Harry and the others will definitely tell us if they're in danger. Don't worry."

Professor McGonagall and the others were so shocked when they heard about the basilisk that they became a little worried after coming to their senses.

"Is it all right, Albus? The basilisk could come out at any moment." Professor McGonagall insisted on her address under Grindelwald's glare.

"It's okay, Minerva. The basilisk should still be dormant, unless...Tom wakes it up." Dumbledore always felt complicated whenever he mentioned Tom Riddle.

"Let's help those little guys in secret," Dumbledore said humorously, changing his tone. "It's been quite peaceful lately. I think the little guys are already itching to explore."

"You'll regret it one day by pampering those little trolls." Snape snorted, his cloak billowing in the wind. "I'm done eating. I'm leaving now." He said, preparing to leave the hall.

"Depriving young people of their youth is unforgivable," Dumbledore said with a smile. They had finished watching the Spellbound Battle and were truly shocked by that twisted world. "Have you decided who will accompany Draco to that world?"

"Harry and I." Snape walked out without looking back.

It should be time for the holidays... Alas, it's a pity that he is too old, otherwise he could go out and explore. Dumbledore's handsome face was full of regret.

Grindelwald reached out and grabbed Dumbledore, seemingly not caring about the lives of others.

"Don't sigh, Al. There will be a chance." Grindelwald knew very well what Dumbledore was thinking.

Dumbledore smiled at him, and Grindelwald was instantly confused.

His interactions with Dumbledore were secretly watched by teachers and students.

The teachers were speechless, unable to swallow their words, while the students were whispering excitedly.

Ron and Harry, who had never felt that classes were such a long process, immediately dragged Draco to the Room of Requirement as soon as the get out of class was over.

Cedric and the others tried to find a reason to join, but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, so they gave up. Suddenly, I wanted to go back to first grade and repeat it.

"So, the basilisk is sleeping in the Chamber of Secrets, but we don't know when it will wake up, right?" Although she had heard it once before, Hermione still pretended to hear it for the first time.

"I think we should find the Chamber of Secrets and tell the headmaster and the others." Neville also said in a pretentious manner. His acting skills can be said to have improved rapidly.

"I think we should start with Myrtle, the victim who faced the basilisk head-on," Blaise said. Clearly, Hermione and Harry weren't the only ones with quick minds.

"That's good. This will make our argument seem more powerful." Pansy said seriously.

"If we find the basilisk, can we help Hagrid clear his name?" Ron thought of the big guy who was very friendly to them.

"Sure." Harry, who had been silent the whole time, glanced at Draco. He was a little angry, but not at Draco. If he could be stronger, Draco would rely on him more, right?

"It's settled then," Draco said with a smile, not noticing the look in Harry's eyes.

"What are you waiting for? Let the great detective Ron take you to find Myrtle." Ron rushed ahead excitedly. Everyone followed reluctantly.

They came to an abandoned women's bathroom. Ron was about to rush in when Pansy grabbed him.

"This is the ladies' room." She glared at Ron, who was bewildered. "Even if Myrtle is a ghost, she's still a girl."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Ron touched his nose awkwardly, as if he had never thought about this when he and George Fred were exploring.

"What should we do? Call her?" Ron was a little worried. How could they investigate if they couldn't get in?

Pansy rolled her eyes. "Hermione and I aren't girls, are we?" Did she really think she and Hermione were so unattractive sometimes? All of this... let's not talk about it.

"Hehe, I just forgot about it." Ron smiled ingratiatingly, feeling that the more he explained, the worse the situation became, so he simply hid behind Blaise.

Pansy held her head high, not wanting to argue with the boy. She straightened her messy clothes and walked in with Hermione in her arms.

Not long after, they came out, followed by Myrtle, who was holding her red face in her hands in a strange way.

"Myrtle, sorry to bother you, but we have some questions to ask you, can we?" Neville asked.

Myrtle ignored him and just stared at Pansy with an embarrassed look on her face.

Draco poked Hermione secretly. "Do you know what happened to her?" It should have only been a while, not a day, right?

"I'm not sure either." Hermione was also a little confused. Pansy didn't say anything?

"Myrtle seemed to have heard what Pansy said just now. Her attitude was very good. Then Pansy saw her coming out of the toilet and couldn't help but mock her. The result is what you see now."

She and Draco looked at each other. Huh? What kind of weird habit did Myrtle have?
