Hermione explains that the hourglass is a Time-Turner; she has been using it all year to get to all her classes. Professor McGonagall instructed her to tell no one about it.
Ron, Mrs/Mr Weasley, McGonagall, Ginny, Dumbledore, and Harry were in the room when Harry explained how he had killed the Basilisk. Hermione probably knows since she figured out the Basilisk, so I guess she's gonna hear Harry killed it later. That gives us just a handful of people.
This would mean that the basilisk was not only a Horcrux but as near to being Slytherin himself as anything could be. As Salazar Slytherin's direct descendent, Tom Riddle could also use the connection to the Hogwarts founder's soul to control the basilisk, while other Parseltongues could not.
Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk in the book and film is a female. Male Basilisks have a red plume of feathers on their heads. In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, the Basilisk is male because it has a red plume on its head.

Although it was briefly speculated in Chamber of Secrets, Harry is not, in fact, a direct descendant of Salazar Slytherin, though he is a distant cousin of Lord Voldemort, as both are descended from the Peverell family. Slytherin built the Chamber of Secrets to allow his heir to purge the school of Muggle-borns.
Harry, as heir of Gryffindor, possessed the love of this Muggle-born woman in his very blood and was the perfect champion to stand up against the heir of Slytherin.

In the film, she only hugs Harry, and just gives a hesitant handshake to Ron (Note: This was the result of Emma Watson being hesitant to hug both Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint in public view, with her hugging Radcliffe during filming having to be frozen for a few seconds to get the desired effect due to Watson ...
