While the mystery may possibly be solved with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione's]] revival, Harry still wants to see Moaning Myrtle. An opportunity arises that morning: as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gilderoy Lockhart|Professor Lockhart]] escorts students to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/History of Magic|History of Magic]] class, Harry and Ron suggest there is no need to guard them any longer as Hagrid has been arrested. Lockhart agrees and goes off to take a nap. Harry and Ron head for Myrtle's bathroom, but Professor McGonagall intercepts them. Harry lies smoothly, saying they had intended to visit Hermione in the hospital wing. Touched by their apparent concern, McGonagall grants permission, which forces them to actually go to the infirmary. While there, they find a torn-out book page clutched in Hermione's petrified hand describing [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Basilisk|Basilisks]]. A Basilisk kills with its gaze, but no one had died because they weren't looking directly at it. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Mrs. Norris|Mrs. Norris]] saw a reflection in the water on the floor. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Colin Creevey|Colin Creevey]] was looking through his camera lens. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Justin Finch-Fletchley|Justin]] saw it through [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Nearly Headless Nick|Nearly Headless Nick]], and, of course, Hermione had her mirror. This explains both the fleeing spiders and the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 11|killed roosters]] — spiders fear the basilisk, and a rooster's crow is fatal to it, so presumably whoever has been controlling it has also been killing the roosters. Harry hears the voice because he is a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Parselmouth|Parselmouth]]— the Basilisk is a snake. Hermione had guessed that it has been traveling through the walls and ceilings using the plumbing; the page in her hand has "Pipes" written in the margin. It occurs to Ron that, if Myrtle was the Basilisk's victim fifty years ago, the Chamber's entrance may be in her washroom.
 
Harry and Ron sprint to the staff room to report their findings to Professor McGonagall but find it empty. Professor McGonagall [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter|/Magic|Spells|Sonorous/Sonorus|makes an announcement]], ordering all students to their Houses and summoning the faculty to meet in the staff room. Harry and Ron hide so they can overhear what has happened. The staff arrive, and McGonagall reports that Ginny Weasley was taken into the Chamber. Lockhart arrives belatedly, and, after he is briefed, the other teachers challenge him to back his boasts by opening the Chamber and defeating the Monster. He excuses himself to go to his office and "prepare". Having gotten rid of him, the remaining instructors plan how to inform the students and discuss the school's future.
 
Harry and Ron rush to Lockhart's office to share what they know, but find him hastily packing. He confesses that he never actually performed the feats in his books. Rather, he took credit for other witches' and wizards' accomplishments, and erased their memories with a charm. He threatens Harry and Ron with a memory charm, but Harry [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Expelliarmus|disarms him]], and Ron tosses his wand out the window. They force Lockhart to Moaning Myrtle's lavatory.
