after Pomfrey removes dead flowers from a vase next to Hermione's 
bed, Harry discovers the note in Hermione's hand and, in a corridor, 
reads it to Ron. It explains what the monster is (a basilisk), and 
other interesting facts (that it can kill with its eyes, for 
example). Also included is that the cry of a rooster is fatal to it; 
so, there we have it.

Geoff:
Re the Knockturn Alley scene, something I've often thought about is 
this. Is it sheer coincidence that Hagrid just "happens" to be 
shopping there when Harry is getting himself backed into a corner 
with the aged witch with the tray? Did she have sinister motives?
