At first, Harry and Ron, who killed the basilisk, walked back to the Gryffindor lounge with their heads held high, ready to accept the treatment and worship of the heroes who killed the basilisk.

Passing through the portrait of the Fat Lady in the Gryffindor lounge, the two saw Hermione staring at them angrily.

Hermione was initially reading in the library, and the final exam was approaching. Hermione had to put down her research on freeing house elves and started studying hard for her exam.

Then, she heard the news that Professor McGonagall asked everyone to return to the dormitory. Hermione quickly realized that something must have happened in the Chamber, so she hurriedly returned to Gryffindor Lounge to rest under the protection of the professors.

After returning to the lounge for a while, Hermione realized that she could not find Harry and Ron anywhere, which made her suddenly have a very ominous premonition. Hermione asked her classmates if they had seen Harry and Ron.

Finally, She learned from a few classmates that Snape arranged for Harry and Ron to clean the staff lounge.

It stands to reason that the staff lounge was close to the Gryffindor lounge, and Harry and Ron should have returned long ago.

At this time, Hermione already had a wrong guess. She thought that a basilisk probably attacked her two friends.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened Hermione became, so she planned to go out of the Gryffindor lounge to seek the help of the professors but was stopped by the Weasley twins.

They thought it was too dangerous to go outside now, and Hermione might encounter an accident if she went out hastily.

Just when Hermione was extremely anxious, she saw Harry and Ron, all dirty, returning to the lounge with smirks on their faces.

"You two big fools! Where are you going? You don't know how worried I am!" Hermione yelled angrily when she saw Harry and Ron's faces.

Harry and Ron were frightened by the angry Hermione and instinctively shrank their necks.

But Ron quickly reacted; they were heroes, "Harry and I killed the basilisk! Hogwarts is safe!" Ron announced with his head held high.

"Kill the basilisk? You? How is that possible?" Hermione's mouth widened in surprise. Basilisks are dangerous creatures of the X Level, and with Harry and Ron's skill, that would be near-impossible.

Ron's words quickly caught the attention of the little lions in Gryffindor, and they all gathered around Harry and Ron, urging them to explain in detail what was going on.

Fully satisfied with his vanity, Ron finally began to tell the adventures of the two of them in the Slytherin's Chamber.

It also focuses on the scenes of the two bravely fighting with the basilisk. Of course, Ron naturally omitted the scene where Harry was chased by the basilisk and screamed when he was frightened.

Speaking of the rise, Harry also took out the Gryffindor sword to show everyone, and the basilisk blood on it further proved the authenticity of the battle.

Looking at the bloodstained Gryffindor sword, the little lions exclaimed. They lifted Harry and Ron with all their might, cheered loudly, and kept throwing them into the sky.

Even a serious Percy joined in the cheers. At this time, Percy's cheeks were slightly red with excitement. He thought that with the achievements of Harry and Ron, Gryffindor's score finally didn't have to be negative.

This semester's terrifying experience of deductions reduced Percy's score requirements to a minimum.

From defending the first place to being second, surpassing Hufflepuff to the third place, till finally, it is a win if the final result was not a negative number. It can be said that before Harry and Ron killed the basilisk, Gryffindor was already close to the score.

After a long time of trouble, the little lions of Gryffindor let Harry and Ron down, and Hermione finally had a chance to talk to Harry and Ron.

"Why don't you go to the professors for help? It's too dangerous for you to deal with the basilisks by yourself. If something goes wrong, I may never see you again!"

Hermione suddenly stepped forward and hugged the two of them.

Although Ron described the fighting process very lightly, Hermione could still imagine the level of danger at the time.

Smelling Hermione's fragrance, Ron suddenly blushed a little. Ron was afraid that everyone would find out, so he hurriedly wanted to divert everyone's attention.

"Merlin's beard. We searched all over the professors before but couldn't find any!" Ron immediately felt aggrieved when he heard Hermione's rebuke.

"Could't find a professor?" Hermione was a little puzzled, but she quickly put it down.

"Now we should hurry to find the professors; eliminating the basilisk is a big deal!" said Hermione.

Ron and Harry nodded in agreement and left the Gryffindor lounge with Hermione, planning to report the incident to the headmaster's office.

On their way to the headmaster's office, the three met Ethan, who had just returned.

They hurried over, and Hermione explained the current situation to Ethan briefly.

Ethan, who knew what happened, could only pretend to be surprised, "You guys are going to find Professor Dumbledore with me now. You should tell him about this as soon as possible."

Ethan led Harry, Ron, and Hermione to the headmaster's office.

"Lemon Sherbet," Ethan said the password to enter the door, and Dumbledore told him the password before leaving.

The gargoyle turned to both sides to reveal the stairs to the headmaster's office.

The four of them walked up the stairs to the office and saw Dumbledore sitting on the chair behind the desk.

As soon as Harry entered the headmaster's office, he couldn't wait to put the Sorting Hat and the ruby-encrusted silver sword on the table.

Then he told Dumbledore how he found the location of the Chamber of Secrets from Myrtle's mouth, how he entered the Chamber of Secrets, how he fought the basilisk, how Fox arrived in time, how the Sorting Hat gave him the sword, How did Ron blind the basilisk with a crossbow, and how he killed the basilisk himself.

Dumbledore listened with a smile and kept nodding his head, seeing that Ethan suddenly felt sorry for Harry. Here, his life had been arranged clearly by Dumbledore.

"Mr. Weasley, Mr. Potter, I have to say that you are courageous, even though you have violated over a hundred school rules -" Hearing Dumbledore say this, Harry, Ron, and Hermione's faces immediately changed.

They never imagined Dumbledore pursuing them for violating the school rules.

"I remember that I seemed to have said to both of you that if you broke the school rules again, I would have to expel you," Dumbledore said.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione didn't dare to breathe. The joy brought by just killing the basilisk had vanished. Only then did they remember how many troubles they had had this semester.

"This shows that sometimes even the best can only talk without words." Dumbledore continued with a smile.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione took a long breath, and their expressions became richer. They were frightened by Dumbledore just now.
