A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 59 Basilisk and Parseltongue

"Calm down, Miss Granger!" Felix asked, "You need to tell me, how long has it been since you and Harry last met? Can you confirm his location now? And how did he track it down?" Basilisk?"

Hermione said quickly: "Not more than five minutes, Professor. We speculated that the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is in Myrtle's bathroom, so we made an appointment there. Harry located the Basilisk through Parseltongue..."

"Very good," Felix interrupted her. He waved his wand, and a silver light flew out from the tip of the wand, condensing in the air into a small bird with a pair of long and narrow sickles hanging in the air. shaped wings.

Felix said loudly: "Principal Dumbledore, Harry Potter is tracking the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets alone, please come to the abandoned bathroom of Myrtle, there is a high probability that the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is located there."

After speaking, the small bird flapped its wings and disappeared in a flash of light.

"Professor, what kind of magic is this?" Even though the situation was urgent, the little witch couldn't help asking.

"The Patronus Charm, it can help you ward off dementors, or send a message temporarily or something."

"Is that a kind of swift?"

"Well, it's fast."

"Let's go to the bathroom first." Felix said to Hermione, "You can tell me what happened on the way."

By the time the two were almost at Myrtle's bathroom, Felix had figured out what was going on.

An hour ago.

Harry, Ron and Hermione sat in the Great Hall eating a quick dinner, they looked at each other and slipped out tacitly.

"It's 10:[-]," Hermione said to the two of them before they acted, "We have about four or ten minutes, as long as we get back to the common room with the main force before seven o'clock, no one will notice that we have been out. "

They were going to have a showdown with Professor Haip, and after gaining his trust, they would report the Chamber of Secrets information to Principal Dumbledore.

But something went wrong along the way—

"Tear you apart... want to kill people... thirst for blood..."

As they passed through a dimly lit corridor, Harry suddenly heard the voice, and he yelled, "It's the basilisk! It's out!"

"Did you hear that?" Ron said nervously.

Harry rushed out, he climbed up a flight of stairs, pricked up his ears and kept searching, he seemed to hear a slight grinding sound, so he ran in big strides, Ron and Hermione followed closely behind.

But if there was no sound, Harry would lose track of it from time to time, and he had to climb up and down to confirm the position.

The three of them ran for most of the day and were out of breath.

"He went back? Maybe just out for a walk?" Ron asked expectantly.

"Absolutely not!" said Harry. "It wants to kill, it says it wants blood!"

"Tear up your... target..."

Harry jerked his head up, the voice above his head.

"It's upstairs!"

Harry ran quickly upstairs, leaving Ron and Hermione far behind.

Turning a corner, he saw Justin coming from the other side of the corridor alone.

"Come out...to kill...to tear into pieces..."

Harry's expression was terrified, and it was going to be too late.He yelled at Justin: "Close your eyes, Justin! Close your eyes, the basilisk from the secret room has come out!"

Justin has been avoiding Harry for the past few days, and he asked in astonishment, "What?"

Harry didn't have time to explain, he had already clearly heard the sound of "click click", it must be the basilisk, it is about to come out, it is going to kill people!

"There are many obstacles!" Harry took out his wand, and an obstacle spell knocked Justin into the air, with surprise and panic on his face.

Harry threw himself on Justin to drag him away, which was not easy - Justin struggled desperately after he was freed from the effect of the spell, and the two became entangled.

"What are you going to do? Harry, what are you going to do!"

"Shut up! I'm saving your life!" Harry gave him a hard punch to silence him, "Listen! The Chamber of Secrets monster is out, and its eyes can kill people, so close your eyes quickly .”

There was a rustling sound, which was very clear in the corridor.

Justin tightly closed his eyes, his body trembling uncontrollably.Harry closed his eyes too, fumbling with one hand for his wand - his wand fell to the floor during the brief tussle between the two of them.

"Are we going to die, Harry? I don't want to die, Harry, I'm sorry I misunderstood you," Justin said incoherently.

"Shut up!" Harry yelled, echoing clearly in the hallway.

He came across a small stick, which was his wand, but he was completely powerless to fight the basilisk, his eyes were still closed!
A door was knocked open, and the sound of "click, click" was getting closer. Harry judged that the basilisk was less than two meters away from them. Maybe its head was hanging down in front of him?

He even smelled a pungent stench.

"Get out of here!" he yelled.

"What?" Justin asked tremblingly.

"It's not you, get out of here!"

Justin only understood the first half of the sentence, and the second half, the creepy sound that came out of Harry's mouth was like the "hissing" sound of a snake, but it was much more terrifying than that.

It was Parseltongue, he woke up instantly.

Harry kept saying Basilisk, telling the basilisk to "get out of here" and "go back", and it worked, the sound of the basilisk moving stopped.

But it didn't move away, instead it responded, "Kill... Master's order... Tear apart... Eliminate Muggles..."

"Get out of here!" Harry said in Parseltongue, "I order you, get out of here!" Thanks to the fact that he has been using the magic scroll for the past two days, he has become quite proficient in Parseltongue.

"Master's order..."

"Your master and I are best friends, we are together, listen! You are in danger now, a powerful wizard is coming! Get out of here quickly!" Harry kept urging, he didn't know Could it work, but what Hermione inquired from Professor Haip said that Parseltongue can control snakes.

He didn't know whether it was true or not, but he could only pray in his heart that it was true.

Finally, the basilisk moved, and Harry held his breath, waiting for the fate to judge - fortunately, the basilisk's sliding sound became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.

"Can't stop the killing...the next attack...soon...too long to endure..." These were the words Harry heard from the ceiling, and it seemed the basilisk was back in the pipe.

Justin collapsed on the ground trembling, with a look of shock.

"It's over." Harry opened his eyes.

Tens of seconds later, Hermione and Ron chased after them panting, "Harry, what happened?" They lost track and took a short detour.

Harry said with great fear: "The basilisk wanted to attack Justin, and I stopped it."

"What—oh, my God!" Hermione pointed to the scratch marks on the ground, "This is..."

"Yeah, I met it head-on."

　Let me tell you in advance that the following plot is the conclusion of all the previous foreshadowing.The protagonist has fewer direct roles (not that there are none), but it seems that the protagonist is not written much. In fact, every step of the plot is the result of his participation, influence and change.It can be understood as the butterfly effect, and it is also to focus on showing the different characteristics of the trio, both good and bad. Readers are welcome to discuss.After this episode is over, it's the main character's role.
