Basilisk, is its name.

This is the name given to it by its owner, Salazar Slytherin, who created it almost a thousand years ago.

"Basilisk", "Snake King" or "Wild Python," as the wizards called it; Basilisk knew that wizards were afraid of him and feared him, but he didn't care about that, because he had its mission.

Before Salazar-Slytherin left Hogwarts Castle, he left a secret room... One of its duties is to guard the secrets until the return of Slytherin's heir.

For a thousand years, Basilisk roamed under the castle, hunting rats, bats, and a few birds for a living... With little food, he often starved, sometimes too hungry, and he hibernated on his own. .

It never intended to appear in the castle, because it knew very well that the castle would not welcome itself...it would only panic because of its presence.

Also, Salazar Slytherin had given it a mission.

Some people say that Salazar-Slytherin wants to expel all young wizards who are Muggle-born, or who do not have sufficient magical abilities, from the school... Basilisk understands that this is not the case.

No one loves this castle and this school more than Salazar; not even his three former friends... Even if he dies on the other side of the ocean, Basilisk can still feel that the master is very fond of Hogg Watts' undying thoughts.

Salazar Slytherin objected to Hogwarts accepting Muggle-born wizards, simply because he thought they were unreliable.

In a time when witch hunts were rampant, when Muggles and wizards were completely hostile, when any wizard could be reported at any time and sent to the stake...even Godric Gryffindor Such excellent duelists have all been seriously injured in battles with Muggles.

Therefore, Slytherin felt that accepting young Muggle-born wizards was a very risky thing. Because you can't be sure if they will leak the existence of Hogwarts to Muggles; once the secrecy of Hogwarts is broken, a new war between wizards and Muggles is coming!

Undoubtedly, Slytherin's point of view was not shared. In the eyes of his three friends, Muggle-born wizards are a symbol of great talent; and if they can't attract more fresh blood, the wizards will only stay on their own and kill themselves... They have a fierce quarrel.

In the end, Slytherin failed; he ended up leaving the Hogwarts castle and the school.

But even after leaving school, Salazar Slytherin never thought of hurting the young Muggle-born wizards...because he always believed that he was still the headmaster of Hogwarts, even for young Muggle-born wizards. Wizards, still his students.

A principal never hurts his students, even the ones he hates!

This is also the mission that Basilix was instilled in.

It has been hidden under Hogwarts for thousands of years. In addition to protecting the secret room of Slytherin, it also protects the castle and the people in the castle.

...

But fifty years ago, the Chamber of Secrets was opened.

Basilix was delighted, because it felt that its mission would soon be completed.

But to its astonishment, the new owner is completely different from the former Slytherin; the "Slytherin heir" named Tom Riddle is more radical in his ideas than Salazar Slytherin. so cruel...

He believes that the "Mudbloods" and "Squibs" at Hogwarts should be killed!

Basilix tries to communicate with the new owner, hoping to convince him... but it fails!

Tom Riddle paid no heed to its opinion...to him, Basilix was just a beast who had always been rude.

What's more, Tom Riddle is a Parseltongue... For a giant snake, Parseltongue is its nemesis; no snake can refuse Parseltongue's orders, even if it is the one of all snakes. Wang is no exception.

Basilix was forced to accept orders from his new master, leaving the Chamber of Secrets and wandering the castle, attacking the lone Muggle-born wizards.

However, Basilix has been working hard. It is very clear that the direct contact of its own eyes and the venom in its fangs are deadly to wizards... So it has been under the new owner's order to do some small Change.

During the attack, it avoids its gaze on the poor students; it always tries to reappear in front of the students without being able to meet them directly (indirectly); They do a lot of damage, but at least save their lives.

A total of nearly ten students were attacked, and Basilix tried his best to keep them alive...until there was an accident...

Tom Riddle let it attack a new target of a girl with high myopia glasses... Basilix knew very well that with glasses to block, his eyes were not fatal. But at the time of the attack, the girl was crying, crying and she took off her glasses...

she is dead...

Basilix fell into a deep self-blame, and he began to rebel against the orders of his new master.

But Parseltongue is too deadly for snakes, and its resistance is almost futile.

Fortunately, Tom Riddle has never opened the Chamber of Secrets since the girl died... Baslix thought he was free.

Until half a year ago, the secret room was opened again by the same person.

...

Basilix curled up in a small lair in the Chamber of Secrets, licking his wounds.

For half a year, as it had been fifty years ago, it has been forced to attack the students of Hogwarts at the orders of Parseltongue.

But it was wounded in an attack three days ago.

It was wounded by a large wizard with a strange wand... There seemed to be something left in the wound, which, even with the basilisk's powerful resilience, had been difficult to heal.

Basilix felt a lot weaker in his body.

Above the secret room, there were several sounds.

Could it be that Tom Riddle is here again...with his own injuries, he wants to create a new attack at Hogwarts?

Basilix slowly climbed out of the lair.

But it wasn't Tom Riddle's ruthless voice; this time it was a young boy's, and much gentler.

Besides the boy's voice, there were many footsteps.

The footsteps of several adult wizards.
