Throughout the series, Harry constantly succeeds because he is aided by friends and allies: he is the sum of many parts. With his friends' help, the mystery is nearly solved as the puzzle pieces fall into place. Hermione, through her usual diligent research, gathering information, and patiently working to understand what it all means, has discovered what the monster is and how it navigates throughout the school. It is by sheer luck that she was still clutching the papertorn-out book page when she was petrified, allowing Ron and Harry to find it. Hagid also provided an important clue (through Aragog), while Moaning Myrtle gave valuable information when Ron's hunch that she was the victim who died 50 years ago is correct. Now we understand her perpetual sadness. It is still unknown who is the Heir of Slytherin, though the tunnel Harry is about to enter will likely lead him to the answer. Also, as one mystery is almost solved another arises: Ginny. Being that she is a pure-blood, why was she taken into the Chamber? Rather than being another victim that was left petrified, she clearly must play some other integral part in this, judging by her recent odd behavior and her earlier urgent attempt to tell Harry and Ron something important. Just what her role is also remains unknown. And while Percy's behavior may have seemed suspicious when he prevented Ginny from speaking to Harry and Ron, judging by his distraught behavior after she was taken, it is unlikely related to the monster or the Chamber of Secrets.

With this revelation, it is worthwhile examining the technique the Weasley children used for de-[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Gnome|de-gnoming]] the garden [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 3|earlier]]. While we are never explicitly told that this technique came from Lockhart's book, the reference to ''Gilderoy Lockhart's Guide to Household Pests'' hints at that being the source. That the technique is, ultimately, ineffectual, would suggest Lockhart was the originator. Someone may have given him a bogus spell, but his magical ability being so weak, he would be unable to effectively test whether it was real or not, and he apparently assumes, or at least hopes, any such spell will actually work in a competent wizard's hands.
