ROSALYN REPLACED THE DEAD roses with fresh daisies, she had been doing it since it had become a habit whenever she visited Hermione, which was almost everyday of the week. McGonagall could see so much of a soft heart that Regulus Black once had in his daughter.
"Wish you were here, Hermoine." Harry spoke, plopping down by the girl's legs. Rosalyn looked away from the daisies to him. "We need you, now more than ever."
Rosalyn hesitated for a moment and slowly touched Hermione's hand, soothing her hand when the sudden sound of paper caught her attention, it was a crumbled up paper in the witch's hand.
"What's that?" Ron asked peering up at the yellow sheet in Rosalyn's hands. "This must be why Hermoine was in the library the day she was attacked." Rosalyn exclaimed, folding up the paper glancing between them. "Come on."
The three second-years walked out the Hospital Wing. Rosalyn casually reading the torn paper from start to finish. "If 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—"
Rosalyn paused at the feeling of Harry's hand on her shoulder. "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." Harry explained.
"But if it kills by looking people in the eye, why is it no one's dead?" Ron questioned. Rosalyn gaze away from the redhead towards the reflection of the mirror. "Because no one really look it in the eye, not directly, at least." She says.
For a moment they thought about the other Muggle-Born who were petrified, before continuing to make their way down the hallway. "Colin's 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."
Harry explained. "And Hermoine... had the mirror." Harry glanced at them. "I bet you anything she was using it to look around the corners in case it came along."
"And Mrs. Norris?" Ron asked, "I'm pretty sure she didn't have a camera or a mirror, Harry."
Rosalyn pinched her eyebrows together, and turned to Harry. "The water. There was water on the floor that night. She only saw the basilisk reflection, Rosalyn glanced back down to the paper. "Spiders flee before it. You're right, Harry. It all fits."
Harry nodded turning to Ron. "But how's the basilisk been getting around?" He asked. "A duty, great snake, someone would have seen it."
