"Of the many fearsome beasts that roam our land... ...none is more deadly than the basilisk. Capable of living for hundreds of years... ...instant death awaits any who meet this giant serpent's eye. Spiders flee before it." Ron, this is it. The monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk. That's why I can hear it speak. It's a snake. But if it kills by looking people in the eye, why is it no one's dead? Because no one did look it in the eye. Not directly, at least. Colin saw it through his camera. Justin-- Justin must have seen the basilisk through Nearly Headless Nick. Nick got the full blast of it. But he's a ghost, he couldn't die again. And Hermione had the mirror. I bet you she was using it to look around corners in case it came along. And Mrs. Norris? I'm pretty sure she didn't have a camera or a mirror, Harry. The water. There was water on the floor that night. She only saw the basilisk's reflection. "Spiders flee before it." -lt all fits. -How's the basilisk been getting around? A dirty, great snake. Someone would have seen it. HARRY: Hermione's answered that too. -Pipes? It's using the plumbing. Remember what Aragog said about that girl 50 years ago? She died in a bathroom? What if she never left? Moaning Myrtle. MCGONAGALL: All students are to return to their dormitories at once. All teachers to the second-floor corridor immediately.

As to that, most unfortunate. No one regrets more than I. You're the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. You can't go now. I must say, when I took the job, there was nothing in the description-- You're running away? -After all you did in your books? -Books can be misleading. -You wrote them. -My dear boy, use your common sense. My books wouldn't have sold as well if people didn't think I'd done those things. You're a fraud. You've been taking credit for what other wizards have done. Is there anything you can do? Yes, now you mention it. I'm rather gifted with Memory Charms. Otherwise, all those wizards would have gone blabbing. I'd never have sold another book. In fact, I'm going to have to do the same to you. Don't even think about it.
