She discovered she was the monster in the Chamber of Secrets and that the serpent travelled through the pipes in the school. Hermione was Petrified after seeing the Basilisks' eyes in a hand mirror.
For one, Hermione has not failed to solve the mystery that has proved so elusive to Harry and Ron; she sought knowledge in the library and found it in the form of the basilisk description she has balled into her hand.
History. In 1993, during the opening of the Chamber of Secrets, Hermione Granger suddenly realised that the monster that inhabited the Chamber was a basilisk. She sprinted to the library, where she consulted this book, and tore a page from it, where she scribbled the word "Pipes".
Since all of the victims had only been Petrified, if the teachers didn't know beforehand that indirectly seeing a basilisk's gaze doesn't kill, they wouldn't think that it was a basilisk causing the attacks. They'd instead be trying to figure out which magical creature is known to Petrify people.
First, unlike many other students who spread rumors about the Chamber of Secrets and the Heir of Slytherin, Hermione seeks out concrete information in the library and from Professor Binns so that she can learn the truth about the attacks.
He chooses to rip a particular page with a pointed glance out of a book. Why?" The poster theorizes that Draco was curious about basilisks because his dad, Lucious, had been talking about it at home.
Hermione sees Harry as only a friend so she has no trouble hugging him. The same is not true of Ron who she has stronger, unacknowledged feelings for. She doesn't want to hug him for fear it will become immediately and plainly obvious to him and even Harry how she feels about Ron.
He could command it with his Parseltongue and so there was no eye contact . Also we learned that Tom was a cautious and cunning fellow such that he would not be an idiot to come in direct contact with the Basilisk.
I think that the basilisk's voice may have sounded like background to anyone who did not understand Parseltongue. When Hermione and Ron attempted to hear the basilisk, after the ghost party, they didn't know they were listening for hissing, they were trying to hear a voice, and blocked out all other sounds.
The reason that Hermione was able to figure out that the basilisk was the monster of the Chamber of Secrets was that she was privy to information that Dumbledore did not have — namely, that Harry was hearing voices inside the walls that no one else could here.
So how did the Basilisk manage to petrify its victims without being seen? The only known way in or out of the Chamber of Secrets is via Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom. In order to attack isolated muggle-born students, therefore, the Basilisk would have to travel through the corridors of the castle as well as the plumbing.
After being on the run from a bunch of Snatchers, the gang were taken to Malfoy Manor, where Bellatrix proceeded to torture Hermione using the Cruciatus Curse. It was a testament to Hermione's toughness that she was able to walk away without lasting damage.
He finds Ron and Hermione and tell them about the map. Hermione wishes Harry would turn it in, concerned that Black might know about the secret entrances on it.
It's impossible for a witch or a wizard to look directly at a Basilisk's eyes without dying. So Salazar had not this option, even though the Basilisk was loyal to him as he was the one who had created her (by placing a toad over a hen's egg until it hatched) and raised her.
The basilisk's weakness is the odor of the weasel, which, according to Pliny, was thrown into the basilisk's hole, recognizable because some of the surrounding shrubs and grass had been scorched by its presence.
Opening the stall's door, she was about to yell at Riddle to go away. On Riddle's command, the Basilisk stared at Myrtle and her eyes met with the monster's. Since looking into a Basilisk's eyes is a fatal act, Myrtle was killed instantly and her body fell to the bathroom floor, becoming Tom's first victim.
An individual who can speak Parseltongue is known as a Parselmouth. It is a very uncommon skill, and is typically hereditary. Nearly all known Parselmouths are descended from Salazar Slytherin with Harry Potter being a notable exception.
In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Hermione's boggart takes the form of Professor McGonagall telling Hermione that she'd failed all of her exams. Later, Hermione reveals that her biggest fear is failure.
The ability to speak Parseltongue is usually inborn; a wizard is born being able to speak Parseltongue, and those who are not born with the ability cannot normally learn the language (although, according to the author, Dumbledore may have learned to understand it, and in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Ron learnt ...
The Serpent of Slytherin was a female basilisk placed by Salazar Slytherin inside the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The basilisk could only be controlled by Slytherin's one true heir, Tom Riddle.
Ginny Weasley, despite being the youngest of the bunch, nearly dies in the Chamber of Secrets after getting too close to the piece of Lord Voldemort's soul that lived in Tom Riddle's diary. Riddle goes on to drain the life from her in order to rejuvenate himself and, at one point, it looks as if he's succeeded.
The Tom Riddle incident
Lord Voldemort lived inside those pages, and Ginny was eventually possessed as the Dark wizard began to absorb her strength, control her into opening the Chamber of Secrets, and nearly killed her. The event, though undeniably traumatic, was a pivotal point in Ginny's life.
Also, Dobby's injury was so severe that there was very little time in which to save him. He and Harry landed somewhat far from Ron and Hermione so Hermione wouldn't have immediately known that she could/should look for her dittany in time to save him.
According to Mental Floss, Rowling said that Hermione and Ron are equally matched and good for each other because of their personalities. She said, “[They] are drawn to each other because they balance each other out.
